Shin Hyakuji High School Tvtropes


The Book that is Hyakuji's Story has come to a close. However, there are still plenty of stories left to be told in the madcap Anime Universe it inhabits. As one book closes, so too does another open. Presented by veteran Hyakuji Staff Members, check out the next generation EVOLUTION of "Anything-Goes" Anime Roleplaying at Senki Academy

Emperor Dodd

The sub-title is a joke, just FYI. I'd settle for my brother back >.>

Character Name: Edwin Eduardo Edison (Ed)
Gender: Male
Age: He isn't sure (about 21)
Height: 6 feet
Weight: (I seriously have no idea how to estimate weight @_@)

Description or Image of Character Appearance
A tall, lanky young man, with black nondescript pants, a white T-shirt, and a black coat that he doesn't actually wear the sleeves of, instead draping it over his shoulders and letting the weight of the various items in his pockets hold it down. His eyes and hair are brown, the latter being just longer than to his shoulders. He sometimes ties his hair back with a hair elastic, but at other times forgets to and lets it hang loose. His shoes are so generic they don't get a description. So there, shoes!

Occupation: Official NetBattler (from the EXE world)
Alignment: Light


Powers/ Abilities:

Gettin' Lost Powahz
Ed is incapable of normal travel, except when guided by someone else. When he goes somewhere, both his exit from one place and his arrival in another are typically inexplicable; there need not be an actual path available. He can jump in a trash bin in an ACDC alley, and come out of the closet in Traverse Town. In between leaving one place (or Topic) and arriving in another, it has been determined that he passes through a place called the Un-Dimension. A place of total emptiness, sort of like the World That Never Was, but even more featureless, with no Nobodies, no Heartless, no items or buildings besides a single Starbucks. Sometimes Ed shows up in a new place with coffee and donuts from that Starbucks.
Others can accompany Ed when he travels via Lostness, if they choose to do so. In such cases, they will typically arrive at the same destination as he does, unless the corresponding Player has another in mind. Ed does not decide where to go; he ends up where he ends up. It just happens to always be where Emperor Dodd, the poster, wants him.
Gettin' Lost Powahz have lately been expanding to affect those around him. His brother Netto Takashi has at times utilizied it without Ed being present, and any number of others have also been able to do so as long as they were either going to or from Ed's location. Most recently, a slight ability to wander forward or backward in time provides an official IC excuse for being in up to three Topics at one time here at Shin Hyakuji High.

CrossFusion: GGGG
Ed, being from the world of EXE, has a NetNavi, and as a high-ranking ONB, the ability to CrossFuse with that NetNavi. Since this is part of EXERPG canon, one presumes it is approvable despite the EXE Anime having clearly taken inspiration from Tokusatsu shows for this power. While Crossfused, Ed has access to the "attacks" of GreatGrandGuyGaiden.exe, his NetNavi, or more accurately, a very slightly "alternate" version of his NetNavi, distinct from the non-Hyakuji version. He has essentially the same powers, just the name and the backstory since the Heartless came differs from GGGSP.

AtkPLUS
For a duration of four uses or the current Topic, whichever runs out first, the target of this ability can use one specific one of his or her attacking powers at an increased power level. In other words, s/he can cause more harm or damage with it. This is the only difference this power-up makes. It will always affect the Main Weapon, so to speak, if such a thing can be identified.

Friendly Fire On/Off
A toggle ability, the effect of which extends over the entire area, ending only when the effect is deliberately ended by its user, or the user leaves. When Friendly Fire is switched On, all abilities that normally would be selective about their targets, such as magical spells that don't harm the caster or his/her allies, will lose that selectiveness; anyone in range can be harmed, including the user or caster. This does not affect attacks that actually steer clear of allies, or minions that won't attack allies; it only works on attacks that normally hit oneself and one's allies, but do not harm them.
By switching Friendly Fire Off, on the other hand, ALL attacks become so distinguishing; even a direct stab in the chest with an ordinary sword won't do any harm, if the target is an ally of the attacker and Friendly Fire is Off. In cases of uncertain alignment, one's true allegience will be revealed by attacks with this ability active, unless someone is deliberately trying to hide that allegience. In that case, those whose side one is pretending to be on will be those who cannot hurt one. In short, Friendly Fire Off will not ever root out false friends, but is infallible as far as mere mistakes of allegiance.
In the world of Hyakuji, Friendly Fire Off also causes Light-based attacks to do no damage at all to those with higher level Light than Dark alignment and, likewise, Dark attacks become useless against Dark-aligned targets.

Falseswipe Cannon
A shoulder-mounted bakooza that fires off a massive shower of tiny little scalpel-like knives that do virtually no damage but hurt like hell. The sound effect of this gun firing is
GODMODE!
(possibly in a different color). The searing pain stays severe for four of the injured party's posts, then subsides to a dull ache which lasts for the rest of the Topic, plus one post into the next one (of that RP Slot).

"I Can't Die"
As a result of a... strange event, Ed has taken on an aspect of Captain Jack Harkness rip-off. Specifically, the immortality aspect. Technically he CAN die, but no matter how thoroughly the body is destroyed, he WILL get better. Of course, more serious maimings will take longer to recover from, but when he finally does awaken, the disappearance of the lethal wounds will be sudden; until then he'll appear to be an ordinary corpse.
Dying is just as paintful for Ed as for anyone else, so it's not as though he'll simply throw his life away. However, if he can save someone else's life, or even protect another from non-lethal, yet serious harm, with the downside of his own death, he'll do it.

No Fourth Wall
Ed can converse with the Narrator, learn people's names from the narration, and "theorize" with uncanny accuracy about the intricate details of his world's physics, or those of this multiverse that he now inhabits. For instance, he is aware that all four of the abilities listed here were already available to him "Back in the EXERPG."
With exceptions only where desired by the fellow Players involved, other people--that is, other characters--will only be able to hear Ed's side of a conversation with the Narrators, will dismiss his talk of Forums and Personal Deities as the gibberish of a quirky weirdo, and engage in whatever other belief-dismissing is necessary to retain their own existing worldviews.

Equipment You Have
PET, assorted BattleChips, Synchro Chip, Z-S Licenses, ElecCustom Style, ElementType Style, Overdrive System (not yet ready for use), money in Zenny form, envelope full of 50 000 zennies cash, Worky the WorcrushEXEX Cyberine, empty Viral Containment Unit, Cancer Noise, Crown Noise, EXERPG Passport (that's right, not Electopia, not Canuckistan, EXERPG)

Personality Description
Ed really loves his fellow people. He does his best to make friends with anyone he can. Even if someone acts so reprehensibly as to convince Ed that the person in question should not be forgiven, he will still believe that there is goodness within that person. However, he is capable of making exceptions; he knew the Darkloids to be pure evil, incapable of good, and now he's well aware that Heartless, even the rare cognizant ones, are much the same. Nobodies, however, he's a bit more on the fence about; he's not willing to take at face value the assertion that the non-generic ones are all truly incapable of redemption.
In the more casual interactions he prefers over confrontations, Ed is a very open and honest person, never withholding the truth or his opinions ("tact" is just lying and trying to tell yourself it's for the best, after all! Well, the aspect of it he doesn't have is, anyway), and never, ever lying. He's not unwilling to mislead others or keep secrets, but he's psychologically incapable of knowingly making an outright false statement. Also he loves hugs and children, so if there are cute younger teens around or the like, he'll tend to do a lot of cuddling. It's all perfectly platonic and innocent, though that doesn't always mean that he'll stop if complaints occur.

Personal History
Ed had a very uneventful life until joining the Official NetBattlers, and even then, his brother Netto did more memorable things than he did. Gradually working his way up the ranks despite near-criminal laziness--
Scenario: Near-criminal? Hey, remember that time he INVENTED BLUE-COLLAR CRIME?
...despite that, Ed eventually reached S-Rank certification, and acquired a Synchro Chip, to allow CrossFusion with his NetNavi. It was later on when the first thing in his life to have significantly noticeable lasting repercussions happened; with his impossibly poor sense of direction, he entered a friend and coworker's house by way of the wastebasket, and got stuck. (He has also once taken a wrong turn on the way to an island he was trying to walk to, and ended up on a space station instead). From the waist up he was still perfectly normal, but now his legs and hips were crammed deep into a small metal garbage can that they couldn't possibly fit in. Soon after, he got spindly mechanical legs installed on the can, so he could still move around without hopping like a Dufflepud.
Then, one day, in the midst of combat, he was accidentally killed. Then he was ressurected by fellow Official Shannon (no first name given); no one was ever meant to look directly into the heart of the TARDIS Dimensional Area Generator. Ever since then, Ed can't be killed. Well, he can, but it never lasts.
Immediately prior to the invasion of the Heartless into his world, Ed was killed yet again, this time by a point-blank-range briefcase bomb that splattered his remains and burned away his clothing. Though he did not notice immediately upon his resurrection, his metal lower half had also been melted away by the intense heat of the explosion, and when he revived, his legs regrew. (This led to a very awkward moment when his nudity was pointed out by a friend and coworker who just happened to be a child Ed had been sharing a victory hug with). Ed's original legs, however, were not damaged or harmed by the explosion, since they were located in the Un-Dimension, in an unused Starbucks storage closet. Ever since Ed got stuck in that wastebasket, his lower half has been sticking out the bottom of a lampshade, and it still is. Only now, it's an autonomous being, with all the same memories up to and including that explosion. Upon being severed from the upper half, Ed's legs began, for the first time in a long time, actually moving. They kicked free from the closet, ran out of the store, tripped, and fell off the roof of Hyakuji High just as it was being devoured by Heartless. Unobserved in the chaos, Ed had his lampshade shredded by the claws of countless Shadows, at which point blood spurted out and he fell over dead. He later woke up, shirtless but otherwise unharmed, in a bed at the Traverse Town inn. A quick bout of asking around later, he determined that he had arrived without anyone noticing. He also managed to learn a bit about the Heartless and the multiverse before inevitably taking a wrong turn and leaving Traverse Town.
Ed was aware of the existence of other worlds long before the arrival of the Heartless, for he had already been to a few of them, courtesy of his utterly terrible sense of direction.
