NationStates Jolt Archive

Looking at City of Heroes, I got an idea. Not for an RP based directly off the game, oh no, that'd be lame, but for an RP within NS for nations to send their country's strongest heroes to in order to combat an evil force of some nature. However, there would be a few rules to all this.

1. This would be fantasy-ish tech. This means that while you can have some crazy guy flying around in a leotard, you can NOT have Gandalf riding a dragon casting spells. The fantasy tech is limited to what you may see in comic books.
2. No knock-off heroes. This means you can't have "Superguy" or "Batdude" or whatever. Be original.
3. Your hero MUST HAVE A FEASABLE WEAKNESS. He can not be weak only to one little metal found nearly nowhere, a la Superman. The weakness can just be that "he gets hurt like a normal person", but if he can withstand a barage of bullets to the chest, he should also be weakened by something easily accessable, like yellow light a la Green Lantern.
4. Heroines are acceptable too. This is an equal opportunity RP.

If you feel you can follow these rules, then submit your hero(ine) on this thread with a bit of backstory. The Resi Corporation will be contacting ICly the heroes we think OOCly will make the best RP, so keeping their powers fair is definately in your best interests.

Sounds like my kind of thing. I have 3 whom i call the Legends Team. Here goes.....:

1. Arashi Hiyuuki
Age: 20
Sex: Male
Fighting Style: Hereditary "True" pyrokinetic powers + Clan Hiyuuki "Fist" Techniques + mixed global martial arts
Description: Wears jeans, a red shirt, and black leather biker jacket, and sunglasses. Has shoulder-length brown hair, with a streak of white.
Strengths: His hereditary pyrokinetic powers are hotter than any other type of pyrokinesis recorded in history, and is especially powerful against enemies which have evil-type powers.
Weaknesses: Although he can take more damage than a normal human, he's no tank.
Fave Quote: "Heh heh heh. Can't stand the heat?"
Bio: Arashi Hiyuuki is the eldest child and only son of Takeshi Hiyuuki, the Sinsei of the Hiyuuki dojo, and the future Heir of the Hiyuuki Clan. His powers stem from the hereditary "True" pyrokinetic powers of the Hiyuukis (read Reiko Hiyuuki's bio for explanation), and his flames are legendary throughout the world. In fact, the "True" flames he wields have far surpassed that of his father's, and he has already defeated Sinsei Hiyuuki in battle. The Hiyuuki Clan has been the traditional rival of Clan Hikurai, and this rivalry has reached deadly porpotions in the past, but nowadays Arashi has a relatively peaceful rivalry with Shinji Hikurai, the Heir of Caln Hikurai. Personally, Arashi is a gregarious and popular person, the star of the show. His opponents have described fighting against him in these words, " Facing Arashi is like looking into the eye of a firestorm. You'll be lucky to escape unscathed."

SuperMoves:
Limit Break 1: Dragon Rage
Arashi charges up his flames so much they appear on both his hands, and throwing the flames on 1 hand after the other, he creates a series of explosions that flash towards the opponent with blinding speed. It is said that those who can dodge this traditional Hiyuuki supermove are those destined to win lotteries later in life.
Limit Break 2: Courage Smite
Done only when Arashi is near the opponent, Arashi charges all his energy in 1 hand in an instant, and lets loose with a super-fiery punch that really hurts and scorches. Shinji Hikurai, one of the few who have taken this move which is not a Hiyuuki Manual move but self-created by Arashi, describes it as "the full force of Dragon Rage in one punch."
Overdrive 1: Courage Second Smite
Done straight after Courage Smite, Arashi uses the momentum of Courage Smite to quickly charge up again, and deal a second super-fiery punch to the opponent. This requires only 1 Limit point, but the total number of Limit points used in both Smites allows this to be called a Overdrive.
Overdrive 2: The Zero Style
A legendary Hiyuuki move that Arashi's ancestor is said to have helped saved the world with, Arashi charges at light speed towards the opponent and gives him a fiery punch, sending him up in the air. When the opponent is about to land back onto the ground, Arashi intercepts with 20 fast fiery strikes, ending it by kicking him up to the air, jumping up and grabbing his neck, then throwing him back to the ground in a mushroom cloud of fire. This move is literally devastating, and opponents tend to not stand up again after this move.




2. Shinji Hikurai
Age: 20
Sex: Male
Fighting Style: Hereditary "Shadow" pyrokinetic powers + Clan Hikurai "Claw" Techniques
Description: Wears leather pants, a black shirt, and a maroon leather trenchcoat. Has long silver hair. Wears gloves that has sharp claws at the fingertips, to aid fighting.
Strengths: His hereditary shadowfire power may not be as powerful as Arashi's, but it gives him illusionary powers, and he can also use his special type of fire to drain enemies' health.
Weaknesses: Like Arashi, can take some damage, but not exactly built like a tank.
Fave Quotes: "Weakling. DIE!!!"
Bio: Shinji, like Arashi, is the eldest child and only son of Clan Hikurai. His father having died long ago, Shinji runs the Clan by himself, although he still retains the title of "Heir" instead of taking the title of "Sinsei" which he is entitled to. His powers stem from the hereditary "Shadow" pyrokinetic powers he is born with, otherwise know as shadowfire (see Naomi Hikurai's bio for explanation), and his flames, unlike normal fire, is black in color, and can be used for some illusory and draining moves. Has a friendly rivalry with Arashi Hiyuuki, although it was not always so, and is evenly matched with him, with their numerous spars ending in draws, with the exception of 1 time that Arashi beat Shinji. His opponents have described facing Shinji as "dicing with Death and Despair.....the powers of his shadowfire".

Supermoves:
Limit Break 1: Shadow Slash
Standing still, Shinji summons forth from himself a "shadow" of himself, which dashes across the arena and slashes the opponent for great damage. Almost unavoidable, although it is easy to block the attack if you can react fast enough.
Limit Break 2: Draining Flames
Shinji concentrate a ball of shadowfire in his hands, then throws it at the ground. The shadowflames then slides across the floor to the opponent, eventually exploding when it touches the opponent into a skull-shaped explosion of black flames. Shinji regains the amount of energy the opponent loses through draining his power.
Overdrive 1: Shadow Swipe
Done after Shadow Slash, the "shadow" of Shinji dashes back to him, passing the opponent on the way and slashing him again. Then the "shadow" passes back into Shinji, regaining him energy it has drained from the opponent. Like Courage Second Smite, it uses only 1 extra Limit Point.
Overdrive 2: The Omega Style
A legendary Hikurai move that is in the same laegue as Clan Hiyuuki's Zero Style, Shinji draws forth a "shadow" of himself, which charges and slashes the opponent on its way to the other side of the arena. Then both the "shadow" and Shinji dash to the immobilized opponent and starts slashing wildly at the hapless opponent for a total of 15 hits, then digs their claws into the opponent and throws him up into the air, letting him explode in a cloud of shadowfire. Very destructive, almost on a par with the Zero Style.




3. Michiko Hikoori
Age: 20
Sex: Female
Fighting style: Hereditary "Glacial" pyrokinetic powers + Clan Hikoori "Sleeve" Techniques
Description: Shoulder length sky-blue hair, an azure blue evening gown with matching heels and jewellery, modified with extra-length sleeves to aid the "Sleeve" Technique
Strengths: Enemies tend to be frozen in their tracks, and her form of ice-fire is good against fireusers
Weaknesses: Her fighting style tends to be the slowest of the 3, and again, she is no tank.
Fave Quote: "You are vanquished. Stand aside."
Bio: Michiko is the 3rd of the trio of the Heirs of the legendary Clans of Atros, and like Shinji, she is officially the Heiress of Clan Hikoori, although she is the de facto head of the Clan. Her powers stem from a unique form of pyrokinetic powers that some critics have dismissed as "false" fire, and not without cause, for her "Glacial" pyrokinetic powers are not hot, like most flames, but freezing cold. Her flames, light blue in color, causes icy damage to opponents, and some of her opponents have ended up hospitalized for hypothermia after fighting with her. Arashi Hiyuuki himself described her flames as "ice.....with the volatile properties of fire." The Hikoori Clan has traditionally been the peacemaker between the 2 warring Clans of Hiyuuki and Hikurai, but with the relative peace between Arashi and Shinji, Michiko has had no need to play the role. Michiko is currently the sponsor of the Tournament, although the host is only known by the name "Raven".

Supermoves:
Limit Break 1: Arctic Breeze
Michiko draws deep into her inner stores of power, then blows a stream of glaical flames at the opponent, hitting him for a combo of 6 very cold hits. This takes some time to use.
Limt Break 2: Frozen Coffin
Done only when Michiko is right next to the opponent, Michiko grabs the opponent, and freezes him into a coffin of ice. Apart from great damage, it immobilizes the opponent, allowing Michiko to follow up.
Overdrive: The Forbidden Style
The last of the 3 Legend moves of the 3 Clans, Michiko does an advanced 12-hit Arctic Breeze on the opponent, then rushes over, does a Frozen Coffin, jumps away, then an icy explosion on the opponent happens. Not as powerful as the other Styles, but it tends to leave opponents dizzy afterwards.

tagged for thought later.

I think i'll just BUMP this..........

when would this be scheduled to start? Things are full on my list, so that's the deciding factor. (Should the start time be within my reach, count me in, should it not, bah!)

Hadula sends its renowned hodan master, Tonton Macoutes.

Tonton Macoutes "Uncle Boogeyman"
Age: Undetermined, most likely in his 70s
Sex: Male
Origin of Powers: Hoda (Hadulan islander mysticism)
Image: Emaciated, gaunt Hadulan native, covered in damp rags, wears an odd, tattered top hat that obscures whats left of his face covered by his beard and unkempt hair.
Strengths: Immense lore and knowledge; resistence to magic-based powers; various charms and fetishes used for hoda; extensive, if subtle, hoda rituals and curses
Weaknesses: Susceptible to physical damage; body decays at advanced rate; routinely possessed by hoda loa (spirit-gods); cannot pass as a normal human
Bio: Tonton Macoutes is one of the most famous hodans [sorcerers] in Hadula. Spiritual leader of the traditional hoda animistic religion of the Hadulan natives, he is at best an enigmatic figure. His powers cannot be explained by science, and he always seems to disappear after a short time in the spot light. Known as "Uncle Boogeyman", he is often the subject of many bedtime stories used to frighten children. He is said to haunt hte streets at night, but is more benevolent than malignant, protecting children from evil and the walking dead. At least, thats how the legends go...

Sounds like fun.I not have time know but could a space be kept open for my application,perhaps?

Resi, I'm interested in this, but I'm currently thinking of what character to use... So can you please save a spot for me? Thanks.

Super Hero Name: "The Cosplay Avenger!"
Alter Ego: Alan Joans

Age: Unknown (Alan Joans is 23)
Sex: Male... and very much single too.

Powers: With his super natural insight into anime, cartoons, games and films, The Cosplay Avenger can imitate moves and power from such heros he knows about, providing he has built his own costume for the part. While the moves are often crappy versions of those taken directly from the media he follows they seem to actually work for Alan Joans as his sheer belief in his role forces reality (usually) to actually do these fictional acts within the constains of his current costume (the focus of his power) and the character in question. Usually only a single trait can be used at once as he is thinking about it so combinations cannot be done. His willpower over reality is also limited... meaning that while he can imitate such dire anime such as "Dragon Ball Z" he can't actually convince the universe that his beam attack it strong enough to do more then burn someone a bit. Still, the power he does get is enough to allow him to be concidered something of a super hero...

Weaknesses: Despite the possible advantages of his willpower forcing reality to admit that he does look kind like the person he's cosplaying, this doesn't mean reality has forgotten that deep down, Alan is just a man in a lyrca suit with a whole lot of beleif and few friends. Providing the power he currently beleives in at the time (he can only use one at a time) isn't damage resisting in any manner he can be injured as normal... afterall, he's not really that guy.

Furthermore, when his current suit is damaged it damages his beleif in it as well as his powers which are based soley on his firm will saying that he is in fact that character. If he is damaged and he's playing a character who couldn't bleed this will affect him to an even greater extent.

As heros go, Alan isn't one of the best, but he is very adaptable...

Background: Alan Joans started life as a young man who watches way too much anime, plays too many games and watches too many films. His friends generally concidered him to be the fountain of knowledge in all these media's...

However, during the first screening of "The Matrix" a freak accident occured invovling, against all probablity, an irradiated film strip. Soon after when Alan attended the local Anime Convention, he found he could actually call do things like he pretended... but for real.

It was any Cosplayers dream come true, and naturally, being a fan of DC comics, he couldn't help but assume this gave him reason to be a super hero.

Quote: "Actually I think you'll find this to be a REAL sword."

Are villains acceptable as well? I've already got two character concepts swimming around in my head; one hero, and one villain.

What about A Borg Drone? I have a Prototype that I could write out

Designation: Prototype 1 of 1,terierty junction 9, Queen ship 1, Unimatrix one.
Fighting Style: Varied, Has all the fighting styles of all the Species the BORG have assimilated
Appearence: Looks litke a Cyborg. Covered in Machenry with no Tubes running anywhere do to advanced design. has no sense of self, or any emotion.
Weakness: The BORG are very Adaptible and The Prototype is no exception, with advanced personel sheilding quickened adapting capabilities, advanced Nanites, and hardened skin, This Prototype is very hard to damage with brute force. earlier models were defeated by varying attacks.
Special: This Prototype Drone has Teleportation Nodes inside its' body allowing it to teleport from point to point instantly with a range of 20 miles. Also found in this prototype is Phaser technology embedded in each arm allowing it to shoot phasers for as long as the drone has energy. Included are reenergizing capabilities. the Eye implant has been upgraded as well, Its temperature sensing abilities have advanced to the point that is can sense the slightest variations in temperature, and, It can also Cloak the BORG as well, once again using extrapower from the BORG's internal enegy sources.

TAG

I'll post some possible characters later, when I have time...

Bill Linner
Age: 21
Sex: Male
Fighting Style: Martial arts, brute strength, using his surroundings, psychics.
Description: Black polyphber suit, black plastic looking helmet, which is actually a strong type of steel, long black silk cape.
Strengths: His altered genes makes him extremely fast, agile, and strong. He is also good at psychics.
Weaknesses: He is just an advanced human, bullets can still stop him.
Bio: Bill Linner, when he was fourteen, went with his freinds to an old abandoned lab, that lab was still full of the expiriments and such. Bill, and his freind Jesk, saw two stasis tubes, both of them crawled into them, and the doors closed. The boys tried to escape, but the tube released gas which made them fall unconscious. Through highly advanced technology, devices rearanged every molecule in their bodies, making them more advanced than any human. They soon discovered their advanced strengths, agility, and speed. They also noticed their ability to use psychic energy, Bill used his powers for good, following the ways of the superheros in books, he goes by the name Strife.
Jesk on the other hand, his mind was twisted and corrupt, and it was soon enough before he went insane, and used his powers for evil. Many battles took place between the two of them, both unknowing the other one had the powers, until in their final battle, when Bill finally took down his enemy, Fiar, his enemies helmet fell off, to reveal the face of his best freind, they shared final words before Jesk passed away.

----------------------------------

I am also thinking of having Jesk come back from the dead, not Jesk, but Fiar, and being one of the enemies, tell me if thats ok.

Real Name: Unknown
Code Name : Black Hole
Sex: Male (Unconfirmed)

Affiliation: (Past) Unknown (Present) The Next (Unconfirmed)
Description: Body size changes as conditions warrant. Man-shaped. Pure swirling blackness is the only detail to be seen, apart from two, glowing eyes.

Powers:
1) Generates a centralized, high-gravity field, which absorbs all types of matter. The matter is then converted to energy, which Black Hole can use in different offensive ways. There seems to be no limit as to how much matter he can consume.
2) Able to warp gravitic fields to achieve limited flight.
3) Other powers are speculated, but unconfirmed at this time.

Weakness:
None reported at this time.

No intelligence on subject. First known contact was less than a month ago. A small town simply disappeared, as if it were swallowed up. The bodies of the townsfolk had been arranged in such a way that if you were flying over the ex-town of South Hamphead, you would've seen a giant happy face staring at you. Written in blood next to it was a message.

And So It Begins.

We now believe he may be the leader of a band of super-powered criminals called "the Next". No information on who these criminals may or may not be. Unsure of agenda or illegal intent. No criminal activities attributed to them as yet.

The Pimp Squad:

I think they'll add a bit of flavor to this RP

OOC: The Pimp Squad? Thats a misuse of a program intended for champions.

Here's an assortment. Pick a hero, any hero... or not, of course, if you don't like any of 'em.

Levin Bolt
Jack Andrews was a basically normal college student, a double major in physics and electrical engeneering with a long standing interest in fantasy, when he found The Book. It had neither title nor author, but it was indisputably a book of magic, and he managed to use it to unlock his own latent powers. Combining magic with his knowledge of electricity, he became Levin Bolt (naming himself after the mage-lightning encountered in many fantasy novels). It is his firm belief that he was destined to find the book, and that he has a duty to use his powers to fight evil.
Levin Bolt wears blackened steel armor, with a lightning bolt painted across the chest, and an electric-blue cape. The armor is mainly decoration, but provides fairly effective protection in a short fight.
Powers: He is very fast, though not especially strong, and can easily dodge most blows if he sees them coming; he even has a chance of ducking a bullet. He is capable both of flight and of travelling in the form of a lightning bolt. He fires lightning at his enemies in battle; he can also manipulate electricity in more subtle ways, such as making lights go out. His bolts can range in strength from a static spark similar to one generated by scuffing across a carpet to powerful blasts that leave the ground melted where they hit.
Weaknesses: Though his armor protects him to a certain extent, he is no more immune to physical injury than an ordinary human. When travelling as a lightning bolt, he can be captured and held prisoner in a rechargeable battery. His powers are tiring to use, and he can become exhausted in a long battle. A scholar by nature, he does not always understand the way others think, and tends to be rather impulsive.

Joseph Narrin (a.k.a. Joey da Nose)
The leader of one of the strongest street gangs before the War on Crime, Joey switched to the other side of the law, with no charges pressed, in a special deal proposed by the Premier himself. He is now employed as a detective by the Marshahnk government, ans reportedly enjoys this more than his original career. Here's his official record:
Name: Joseph Narrin
Home: [classified address], Marshahnk City
Profession: Detective/police officer
Description: A tall man with light brown hair and green eyes, he usually wears a gray trenchcoat and a round-brimmed hat.
Skills: he is observative, and notices details most people don't (so include any important details in descriptions, please). He tends to be logical and a good thinker (though, of course, his abilities are limited by mine). He is surprisingly quick, and a good fighter, both armed and unarmed, but not a match for a skilled professional warrior.
Weapons: depends on the setting; usually 2 of whatever the best handgun style weapon he can get is, and several knives. He almost always wears light armor under his trenchcoat, heavier in the back.
[Note: this was the official record on him. It doesn't mention little-known details, such as his occaisonal work for Marshahnk Intelligence and his very high accuracy with a handgun (most varieties).]
Weaknesses: he is an ordinary human with some unusual skills.

The Socked Avenger
Little is known about Tomas Var Deril's life before he found the socks that give him his powers; the only certain fact is that he was an actor. Since then, however, he has been seen at unpredictable intervals, fighting for freedom and justice; he plays his new role of hero to the hilt. He is compelled at all times to be dramatic, even when a less noticeable approach might be more effective. Few people know that his power can be strengthened and weakened by music, depending on his opinion of the tune. He can sometimes call up music, but only in especially dramatic moments, when a sound track is fitting.
He is very quick and strong, and has great skill with the rapier; he also has a way of travelling that even he does not understand, allowing him to arrive at the most dramatic moment. Most of his powers are focused on his socks. He can control the friction of their surfaces to an amazing extent, and can manipulate his momentum to maintain balance. He can walk in complete silence, slide at great speed over rough terrain, land softly from great height, run across water without making a splash, and kick a hole through a brick wall.
Weaknesses: he is vulnerable to physical attack, though very hard to hit. He cannot cross a wet carpet; if he steps on one, he loses his powers until his socks dry out.

The Hooded Claw
Even more mysterious than the Socked Avenger, the Hooded Claw is greatly feared by the remaining criminals of Marshahnk. She always wears a hooded black robe, so that no feature of her appearance can be seen, and speaks (rarely) with a harsh voice, like that of a burn victim. She is known to be very strong and fast, and to have easy access to a vast arsenal of metal tools and weapons, her claws. Less well known is her rarely used ability to fly. (Her strength, so you know, is enough to pick up one end of a car and flip it over, but not enough to lift one completely.) She can see quite well, even in complete darkness.
Weaknesses: She finds bright light blinding, and is paralyzed by water; her robe gives her good, but not perfect, protection against both. She is resistant, but not completely immune, to physical attack.

Mercenaries
These people will work for any cause that gives a good profit, but are completely loyal to their employers.

The Banana
A master lockpick and security expert, he wrote the book when it comes to thievery. In fact, he escaped from jail while advertising the book. He can and will steal anything from anyone, and is perfectly willing to hire out his talents at infilitration. He also has the power of invisibility. He is a competent, but not exceptional, fighter.
Weaknesses: He is a basically ordinary human, and invisibility is no good against a bullet that's already been fired. Of course, he cannot remain unnoticed while fighting.

Kyar
The leader of one of the few street gangs that still survive in Marshahnk, Kyar is a powerfull telekinetic and a deadly fighter. His mental strength is far beyond the physical strength of any human, and he is capable of manipulating a number of objects at once. However, he is still, physically, a normal human, and isn't unusually durable.

Vulcan
Assassin, explosives expert, and general thug for hire, Vulcan's left arm and leg are robotic, and have a number of weapons and devices hidden in them. He is technically just human, but very tough and dangerous; I based him, to a certain extent, on Jaws from the James Bond movies.

OOC: The Pimp Squad? Thats a misuse of a program intended for champions.

You don't like the Pimp Squad? Not even Pimperhawk?

*Tag* I'll add a character later, I promise.

And to think, so far I think the Cosplay Avenger is the most balenced hero from the bunch...

The Cosplay Avenger playing out Ash from Evil Dead 3
Evil Dead series fan myself. I think Tonton Macoutes is well balanced. He is very physically fragile, cannot pass as huma (ever), constantly rots and suffers from rigor mortis. In exchange, he is resistant to magic effects and has subtle magics he can work and various fetishes he can create.

Wearing his wristband that forms energy into anything that he wants like a shield or a really big arm knife, The Red Razor moves swiftly through the city.
Name: Jason Robins
Age 38
Physical condition: Ba-boom (Brad Pittesque)
Weakness: Bullets, unless they hit his sheild. Knives don't work on his suit.
Size: 5' 11"
Weight: 215
Suit: Completely red, super flexible material that is highly resistant to impact. Bullets cut through it though. :mad: :sniper: sorta like this
Helmet: Red, form fitting, black face size visor.
Weapons: Wristband that creates super hard (Adamantiumesque) energy weapons. Most common shape is a disc (razor)

I'm in I'll type up my character's description tomorrow

I would suggest you remove the picture in my quote by pressing edit in the post and removing the [img] bits and everything in between... there is no reason to show the same picture twice.

Meanwhile I think I agree... your character is balenced, I guess I wasn't paying much attention to things before my orginal post.

Thanks for the tip, I'll remember that.

This sounds pretty fun, so here's my idea for the superhero of Frostguarde and his arch nemesis. I'll try to make him as cheesy as possibly, so he sticks to the comic book tradition. Pics later.

Name: Sub-Arctic
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Personality: Outwardly, Sub-Arctic is charismatic and bold; both qualities expected of Frostguarde's superhero defender. Fellow heroes describe him as, "A damn good guy," and "He's pretty hot for a frost launching freak," the latter being a comment from Ghost, the female super heroine of the Guarde. Inwardly, he is tortured by feelings of loneliness and guilt for all those too-little, too-late events in the past.
Special Abilities/Powers: Sub-Arctic wields the powers of ice at will. Firing icicles and blasts of arctic wind is child's play for this masked wonder. His body is seemingly indestructible, but has one weakness. He can also fly, but what self-respecting super hero can’t?
Weaknesses: Sub-Arctic is weakened by fire or high temperatures and in his weakened state can be destroyed.
Biography: Sub-Arctic was born during a freak accident in a private laboratory experimenting with cryogenic technologies. He was researcher working on a project that would preserve and reawaken human beings with no adverse health risks when a tank, containing liquid nitrogen mixed with unknown chemicals, ruptured and transformed him into the super human he now is. The media and corporations, however, swept the incident under the carpet and used Sub-Arctic for devious military purposes. To force him into compliance Dr. Anges, the head scientist for the project that transformed Sub-Arctic and a genius, created a mind control collar and enslaved Sub-Arctic’s body. After a fierce battle, the collar was damaged and Sub-Artic reclaimed his free will. Soon he traveled to Anges’ lab and confronted him, which resulted in another tragic accident. Dr. Anges was tossed into a vat of Noxius VII, a vile chemical harvested from the atmosphere of the planet Nox, turned into a mutant, and driven totally mad. Anges was contained in a special asylum for mutants and high-traitors, but later escaped. Sub-Arctic today is fighting crime vigilantly all over Guarde Primus and tracks Dr. Anges in hopes of returning him to his prison.

Name: The Doctor [formerly Dr. Michael Anges]
Age: 52
Gender: Male
Personality: Outwardly, The Doctor is a raving psychopath bent on power and causing harm to others. Inwardly, he is a raving psychopath bent on power and causing harm to others.
Special Abilities/Powers: The Doctor is mad, but a super genius and gifted with abnormal strength and is seemingly invincible.
Weaknesses: The Doctor is indestructible, so he must be sealed away.
Biography: The Doctor was once the highly respected leader of the cryogenic field and a master of mental technologies, Dr. Michael Anges, making it ironic he is now quite insane. Sub-Arctic, in a struggle to keep his freedom, dropped Dr. Anges into a vat of a Noxius VII, which changed his anatomy, gifted him with super human strength, invincibility, and extended his genius, and drove him totally mad. He was contained within a high security asylum, but later escaped and started referring to himself as The Doctor. He has unleashed a number of devious plots upon Frostguarde since then, but all were foiled by Sub-Arctic. Somehow The Doctor escaped each time unharmed and free to do more evil.

Banana Intolerant(alergic to bananas).


.

Name: Incognito
Real Name: Alana Mills
Gender: Female
Age: 21

Abilities: As her name suggests, Incognito is a master of disguise, but her ability is not putting on a wig and dark glasses. She can change her appearance at will. With thought alone she can change her physical appearance. Like most superheroes, she is stronger, faster and more agile than the normal human.

Weaknesses: Like normal humans, she isn’t immortal, and if she gets hit by a bullet etc, she will die (she’s just a little bit harder to hit).

Background: I prefer for this kind of thing to be developed and learnt through RPing.

Hey Silverous... You forgot Monkey Boy's Weakness. All Hero's have Weaknesses

Right now, I'm reading through all the character designs, and WOW.

I never expected such a phenomonial response to this. The heroes presented represent such a wide creative scope it's incredible. They span from uber-serious to... well, whatever the hell the Cosplay Avenger was (I laughed my ass off at that... he is SO in! :p ).

Yes, villians are perfectly acceptable, and I might even form a Super-Friends-style retro Legion of Doom to accomidate them with my villians. Of course, this would mean that the villians would have to take some RP time to assemble before the heroes could be called in, but with the proper coordination it would go off perfectly in the long run.

Finished reading. Now I'll make a nice prototype in/out list.

IN:
- One of The Gothic Underworld's submissions (they're all good, pick the one you can RP best with)
- The Cosplay Avenger (how can you NOT love him?)
- Levin Bolt (a good, well-rounded hero)
- The Hooded Claw (either her or Levin. Claw could mix things up a bit)

OUT:
- Prototype 1 of 1/Borg Drone (Borg aren't usually good guys, and I generally dislike Star Trek tech)
- Uncle Boogeyman/Tonton Macoutes (a very good and unique idea, but I think it'd be difficult to fit him in with the others)
- Black Hole (he sounds like a DBZ villian, what with the uberpowered-ness and all)
- The Pimp Squad (pretty pictures don't make a good RP)
- Red Razor/Jason Robins (your post makes me wonder about your RPing)
- Super Chimp/GiGi Mon Key (it just wouldn't work out. I can't see our corporation hiring a monkey to stop an evil menace)

MAYBE:
- Strife/Bill Linner (a good idea, but I don't want one hero's backstory to take TOO MUCH dominance in the main story)
- Sub-Arctic (great character, but I'm not sure if he's a Sub-Zero ripoff)
- The Doctor (another great character, but can only be in if Sub-Arctic is in)
- The Banana (could make a cameo)
- Incognito/Alana Mills (could make a joint cameo as a secondary strike force with the Banana. Sort of a recon/spy team for the other heroes)

Remember, new heroes (and villians) are still welcome at this point, but these are the definate standings for those who have been submitted.

Hey Silverous... You forgot Monkey Boy's Weakness. All Hero's have Weaknesses

Bah, we all know a true DnD min-max character style hero would take tons of small weakenesses which he feels have no use in the game to make up for his uber-combat ability... most often Charisma (the stat which makes you a people person or a hermit). Not to mention mild anoying flaws which have no game affect but count as weaknesses so you can justify your cosmic power.

*cough*

Anyways, thanks Resi for not being too offended at my enteries clear comedy perpose... I assure you I'm not going to be overly powerful, what with my guys asthma and all.

Cosplay Avenger playing out Gambit from X-Men

(Ok, last picture until the thread starts... :p)

Well, Resi, you've left me with a hard choice. I can easily give up Michiko, since she's already involved in something else anyway, but Arashi and Shinji are sworn rivals of sorts, and one without the other makes for a lot less RPing opportunities for them to get in a scrap with one another. If i could have both of them in, i could make it interesting by making both individualist characters squabble about how best to do things, maybe even keep others guessing as to how these 2 would ever work with each other without the calming influence of Michiko to smooth over the friction. However, if you're adamant about having only one of my Legends........take Arashi. I have developed his fighting style to a fine art RP-wise, and i have created him with a versatility in fighting that just manages to outstrip Shinji's.

Since I have at least one confirmed spot for Hero in this thread, let me try my hand at Villian:

Name: Raven Vandell
Age: 42, to be killed by the end of the Battle Arena Tournament thread.
Sex: Male
Occupation: CEO of Vandell Corporation. Also a kingpin of the underground mafia movement of Atros
Description: 2.3 metres tall, muscular physique, long brunette hair and clean-shaven. Wears a tight black leotard, along with leather pants. Has a cloak draped over his right shoulder to shield his "right arm" from view, and wears shoes that have been rigged with blades on both sides to assist in attack power.
Fighting Style: Bionic Combat Unit (BCU) attacks + cybernetic kickboxing techiniques
Strengths: Relies mainly on his BCU, which is his right arm bio-engineered and fitted with bionic implants and equipment, his bladed shoes which, combined with cybernetic strength, can shear through tank armor, and cybernetic implants which give him sheer toughness. Very tough, almost has no weaknesses, is even way more powerful than many legendary characters like Arashi Hiyuuki, and 5CN's Lance Crusade due to his reengineering, the result of years of research. However, sheer tenacity alone against him will eventually pay off, as he is still mortal after all.
Weaknesses: Almost none. However, can still be overwhelmed by sheer numbers and willpower.

Bio: Robert Vandell was one of the success stories of Atros, once topping the list of the 20 Youngest Rich of Atros. His company, Vandell Corporation, was the biggest in region by the time he was 21, and it was said that while he slept, millions in wealth just keep on rolling in for him. Moreover, he was married at 25 to Veronica Smith, and soon after had a daughter, Sarah Ann Vandell. Life seemed good for him.

Then disaster struck. Veronica died in a car accident just 5 years after Sarah's birth. Apart from hideous grief, he was forced to raise Sarah alone, which in fact, for a rich man like him, wasn't very difficult, as Sarah had everything she needed or wanted at the snap of a finger. Life continued, and if possible, even better after Veronica's death, and both father and daughter had a very good relationship with each other. Slowly but surely, Sarah grew up, into a willowy teenager, sweet in personality and very reasonable, despite the excessive pampering her father bestowed on her.

However, good things do not last. Sarah collapsed in school at the age of 15, and doctors diagnosed her with a previously unknown, and terminal disease. Grief-stricken, Robert poured in what he had on new research on the disease, nearly bankrupting himself in the process, and worked hard to get more sponsorship. Unfortunately, while Sarah lay dying, countries and corporations all over the world dithered, unwilling to invest in research which didn't seem neccessary.

At this point, the stresses finally cause Robert Vandell to snap. If he couldn't do things one way, he reasoned, he'll do it another way. The ends justifies the means, whatever the cost. He began to get more involved in the underground mafia, taking sole control in just 6 months, and diverted funds from the research into research on cryogenetic techonology, which paid off very quickly: stasis units have been patented in the Vandell Corporation's name, and Robert quickly made use of the new technology to cryogenically freeze Sarah, preserving her life for as long as it takes to research the technology that would eventually cure her. Disaster struck Robert yet again, as an accident at one of the bioengineering labs which his company owned, and which he was visiting, totally deformed his body, leaving him with enlarged musculature that he couldn't control fully. Instead of despairing, Robert immediately commissioned cybernetic technologies, which eventually resulted in his possession of his Bionic Combat Unit, which is his deformed right arm fitted with cybernetic implants and weaponry to form a weapon as yet unseen in the modern world, and various other weaponry that is now built into his body. Changing his name to Raven, he finally commissioned an airship more than thrice the size of the average blimp, which he uses as his portable headquarters, named Revenge. It is said he is researching a new type of apocalyptic weaponry on the Revenge, but no one knew exactly what it was supposed to be. Whatever it is, Raven has made his stance clear, that he would use whatever he created, to ransom the world for the funds needed, to one day save Sarah's life.........

Supermoves:
Limit Break 1: Metal Storm
Transforming his BCU into a machine gun based on the recently created Metal Storm machine gun, Raven fires a hail of explosives that does 30 hits of moderate damage.

Limit Break 2: Blades of Vengeance
Raven rushes to the opponent, jumps up, brings his back foot up front and up to slash with the inside blade the opponent, then he brings his other foot up and slashes again with the outside blade of his other foot. Seriously damaging, Raven once tested this move on a tank, and the result was that the tank got sliced.

Overdrive: Finality
Raven rushes at the opponent in double-quick time, and if the opponent cannot get out of the way, Raven grabs his neck with his BCU, which then proceeds to go wild, with muscles whipping out of shape, and the result is that the BCU charges 100,000 volts of electricity into the hapless victim. Dangerouse to the point where only true Legends can even hope to survive the move.

Excellent! I'm glad you liked some of my characters. Thanks for posting the preliminary list; I was wondering if I was still under consideration.

Dang. Rejection hurts BUT I now have a better idea of what you may be looking for.

Code-Name: Counter-Strike
Name: David Venrik
Gender: Male
Age:34
Status: Villain

David Venrik was born with a strange gift which he dubbed "photographic reflexes". Essentially, he is able to imprint any physical move he observes into his own body, permanently. Watching a kung-fu movie, or a fencing match would give him the same moves and reflexes as those he watched. A normal man, in very good physical shape. (ability based on the Taskmaster, an old Marvel Villain)

I await your reply before creating a detailed background.

Kraken
Real Name: Dr. Allan Fisher
Age: 30
Sex: Male
Description: 6'0", 120 lbs, wears Brown trousers and a brown trenchcoat. Brown, messy hair down to shoulders. Light beard and mustache, Blue eyes, square-rimmed Glasses.
Strengths:Certified Genius (IQ of 200), Speaks 4 languages (English, French, German, Grazhkjat (official language of Grazhkjistan)), Excellent Programmer/Mechanic, Basic Med Training, Good at knowing what his opponents are going to do next.
Weaknesses: Although he can pick up just about anything with the harness, without it, is physically weak.
Favorite Quote: "I would rather die a poor man, than trade blood for money."

Bio: Allan Fisher is a former Research & Development Scientist for the US Government. A big fan of Spider-Man as a child, his last work was a 6-tentacled harness that would allow a soldier to climb walls and fire bursts of energy from the tentacles. The Harness connected to the users spine, so he could control it like his own limbs. He called this work the OKTO, to honor his favorite villain.

Each tentacle possessed the ability to lift half a ton, a small energy pulse gun and a shield projector, experimental projects by Doctor Fisher. He was told this would be a defense/antiterror implement, but he was decieved.

Working late one night, he overheard his boss speaking to General John Howards, a possible buyer for the OKTO. Listening to this, he discovered the exhibition of the OKTO was to be the destruction of a defenseless peasant village in China.

Many years before, Fisher had sworn an oath never to use his talents for anything but the good of mankind, so he stole back the prototype and research records and destroyed the remaining files with a computer virus. He made his way to Chicago (or Whatever City this Justice League is in) and set up a workshop to continue to develop his creation. Shortly thereafter, (to save you the burden of any more reading), he started fighting crime under the alias "the Kraken", after a demonsquid of Greek Mythology.

OKTO: Battle Harness. Based on Dr. Octopus' Harness, sans AI threatening to take over user's mind. Equipped with Electromagnetic Pads for Gripping aid, Small claws concealed in larger ones (think Doc Ock's) for fine manipulation, Energy Pulse Guns and Shield Generators in the claws of the tentacles.
Pros: Links directly to Kraken's Spine, enabling him to control it just like his own limbs. Made of Light but strong material. Can repel bullets and blades, Provides body armor to the Torso. Weighs about 100 lbs. Harness' Claws can pick up eggs or crush metal. Pulse guns can stun humans or blast through Steel. Shields can protect Kraken from just about any energy-based assault.
Cons: Vulnerable to Water, which causes it to short out, placing Kraken in considerable pain. Pulse Guns and Shield Generators are experimental, and prone to overheating, rendering them useless for anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes, and sometimes burn out altogether, leaving them completely useless until Fisher gets a chance to repair them.

Special Moves:
1. Death Blossom: The Tentacles twist together, forming a "tree" over Kraken's head, then start firing energy pulses while untwisting, showering the area around him with energy.

2. Slingshot: Kraken grabs an opponent with a tentacle, pummels him with the other 5, then slings him away.

3. Firing Squad: Kraken throws his opponent into a wall, and brings his energy guns to bear, pummeling him with dozens of bursts.

4. Flashbang: Kraken fires a stun pulse into a group of enemies, knocking them all over and stunning them for a few seconds.

I have many more, but I think this is enough reading for now.

Lycan Girl
Real Name: Tala Wolf
Age:19
Bio: On a camping trip Tala was bitten by a werewolf. At first all she wanted was a cure, but has come to accept it. She now must live with the gift/curse of Lycanthropy. She has designed a syrum to help her control her transformations. She attends university regularly where she is studying Bio-Chemistry. She is a very popular, but still keeps to herself. A lone wolf.(I'll go into more detail if you accept)
Status:Gray/Anti-Hero. She may commit crimes but it's for the the greater good
Physical Description: 5'8"; white blond, shoulder-length hair; glowing, ice blue eyes which turn red when she is angry; fangs; lithe, athletic build, tribal marking tatoo along the base of her back with "Lycanthrope" written in the middle
Attire: Dresses normally at all times(jeans,boots, tank top, biker's jacket)
Strengths: Hyper-sensitive senses, ablity to transform into a wolf when needed, amazing reflexes, advanced healing
Weaknesses:if she becomes too angry she will lose control of her transformations which in turn causes her to be taken over by her wolf side, her senses(hyper sensitivity can be a curse too), over-confidence(she doesn't believe she'll be found out and hasn't yet because Lycan girl is respected and Tala isn't),and of course silver
Fighting Style:Kickboxing, Wolf Style Martial Arts, and also wolf attacks when transformed.
Favorite Quote: "Scared I'll bite?"

Ok, I have a Hero down (crosses fingers and hopes he's good enough) and Now I have a Renegade.

Inferno
Real Name: William "Billy" Johnson
Age: 24
Sex: Male
Description: (in Human form) 6' 4". 150 lbs. Brown hair, Green eyes, slight 5 o'clock shadow. wears a White T-Shirt, a brown leather jacket, Blue Jeans with leather chaps and cowboy boots. Fire Tattoos on Arms. Tattoo of a ruby on his Chest.

(Inferno Form) 6'4" man made of Magma, covered with a black crust of cooled lava with cracks around his joints and outlining his "Abs" and "Muscles", showing glowing yellow magma inside him. Eyes and mouth pulse white-hot. Two holes for a nose, claws for fingers. Very Large Ruby sunk into his chest.

Strengths: (Human) Karate Expert, fast thinker, good at surviving in Harsh environments, can stand Intense heat and create fire. (Inferno) Can turn into a "pool" of lava and slip through small spaces that don't melt easily. Can burn through/melt just about anything he wants to.

Weaknesses: (Human) Takes damage just like the rest of us. Powers are weakened in cold weather. (Inferno) Can be harmed by striking the Ruby in his Chest or by exposure to cold or Water. (Both) Has little control over self.

Favorite Quote: (Human) "Need a Light?" (Inferno does not talk)

Bio: Billy Johnson was always an adventurer. Whenever an Archeologist was recruiting a crew, he would be the first one there. Billy's one true love was the mysticism of finding the remnants of civilizations long gone. He was on an expedition to a temple in South America, built by an ancient race of Fire Worshipers.

The Team split up and searched through the entire structure. No-one found anything out of the Ordinary... except Billy. He accidentally stumbled into the Holy Chamber, a Gigantic room with a large Ruby sitting on a pedestal ,which sat on a large, hemispherical platform of black rock surrounded by pillars covered in glowing Red Runes.

In an act he cannot explain now, Billy reached out and grabbed the Ruby, and found himself stuck fast to it. Then the black rock in the Bowl-like platform started to melt and the pillars began to glow even more. Then a beam of energy shot from each rune on the pillars into the ruby, to which Billy was now firmly attached.

Then the Ruby melted and fused into Billy's body, just as the last bit of rock he stood on melted, dumping him into the lava. But he was still alive. He pulled himself from the lava, changed forever. Now, Billy possesses the ability to transform into a creature of Magma and Fire.

Inferno: Billy's Alternate Form.

Pros: Gains phenominal Strength and Durability, and can control fire much better.

Cons: Billy is extremely worn out after transformation ends, and occasionally ends up burning off all his hair.

Special Moves:
1. Blast Furnace: Inferno blasts fire from every crack in his body, setting everything around him ablaze.

2. Dragon Arm: Billy coats his arms in fire and throws a devastating punch combo.

3. Firebreather: Inferno spits fire in a great cloud.

4. Dragon Leg: Similar to Dragon Arm, but with Billy's Legs.

Erm, Grazhkjistan, your Renegade seems to be a ripoff of the final boss from the PS2 game Soul Calibur 2.

Erm, Grazhkjistan, your Renegade seems to be a ripoff of the final boss from the PS2 game Soul Calibur 2.

What, because his name is Inferno and he's made of Fire? If you ask me, They're nothing alike. SC2-Inferno actually has bones and uses weapons. MY Inferno neither has bones nor uses weapons, and besides, a sword would melt in his hand. And another thing, I know no-one can read my thoughts, but Trust me, he looks NOTHING like the Inferno you all know.

If my freakin' scanner was working, I'd post a picture... -_-;

Heheh... Kind of Ironic. Here I sits, thinking I'm gonna be showered with abuse for thinking up Kraken...

Heh, i was gonna heap abuse on Kraken too, but on my second look, he seemed original enough.

Hmm..are Gundam pilots allowed in too? I kinda want to use a Coordinator or a NewType for this. :) If it ain't allowed then I'll back off. :D

don't worry I wasn't planning on his background becoming a lead part I just wanted to know if Fiar could be one of the bad guys

Heh, i was gonna heap abuse on Kraken too, but on my second look, he seemed original enough.

Thankies. ^_^

OOC: I think i'll put down my character's quotes down, just to do some character building........

The Gothic Underworld:
I guess you can RP two heroes, if it's really all that important. I just don't want one person to really take over the RP, and I really want to maintain a "team-feel" between the heroes and the people playing them.
And maybe the villians, too, although less so for them.
Your villian seems like an excellent candidate, and his airship an idea headquarters. However, I'm unsure of having three of your characters in one RP. You can either have your two heroes, or a hero and the villian.
-------------------------------------------
THROPE:
I think your character's a good one, but would like to see a sample of some previous RP you've done just to make sure you aren't ripping off WOD, Underworld, or any other uber-angst-gothic thing.
-------------------------------------------
Grazhkjistan:
The character behind Kraken is good, but I'm having doubts for obvious reasons. However, your character is the one ICly ripping off the comic books, as opposed to you the player doing it OOCly, so this could be a loophole. I'll shelve him with Sub-Arctic in the upper echilons of "maybe" (ALMOST In) for now, just because I need a little more time to decide.
Also, you say your Inferno character is a renegade, but that could just as easily mean anti-hero as it could mean villian. Also, you don't provide evidence in your description as to which he really is.
Also, I do have some doubts as to Inferno's originality (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/screenshots_library/dir_120/vortal_pic_60167.jpg), and pieces of him seem to be directly comparable to the Inferno of Soul Calibur. He doesn't get the stamp of "NO" just yet, but he does get sentenced to the lower echilons of "maybe".
-------------------------------------------
Gawdly:
A good idea, but one that would most likely result in an uber-powered villian who takes dominance over the RP by having everyone's powers at his command. If you can prove otherwise, I'll reconsider.
-------------------------------------------
Anime-Otakus:
Gundams would be rip-offs, now wouldn't they? Also, Gundam pilots are usually angsty little pansies with maybe a little ESP sometimes. That hardly qualifies for superhero status.
Besides, our Raven mecha (http://members.cox.net/resicorp/) pwn Gundams on a daily basis.

hey did you check out when I said I wouldn't have the background be a main plot, I just thought I could add a badguy as well

Well, Counter-Strike IS a human, so he can be shot, stabbed, burned, frozen, drowned...and he doesn't gain the powers of a foe, just the skills. He can box exactly like Muhammed Ali, while kicking like Jackie Chan. He can't replicate powers like super-strength, invisibility, flight, energy from eyes, etc etc.

So he would be a good challenge for the heroes who are more skill based, but not a huge threat to the more uber powered good guys.

Name: Arthur Corsic
Alias: Dreadlock (OOC: I know, I know.)
Sex: Male
Age: 835 Galactic Years
Height: 7’6” (229 cm)
Appearance: Tall (duh), athletic build, green-tinged skin, ears come to a slight point. Hair is brown, eyes glow green. Wears mostly black bodysuits meant to allow complete freedom of movement while providing some physical protection from attack. (Suit also contains energy diffusers, which prevent damage from standard laser, electrical, or other energy weapons.)
Classification: Genecybernetic Construct

Background: During the last Guanyan Civil War, the Loyalist faction used their knowledge of genetics, cybernetics, and Guanyan body chemistry to produce several genetically and cybernetically enhanced warriors. Many of the tests failed, but eventually a team of seven such warriors was created. One of the two members of the team who survived the war, Arthur was the team's Intrusions expert.. After the war, which the Loyalists lost, he chose to flee rather than surrender and has been wandering throughout the galaxy ever since.

Powers: As Arthur is not a superhero precisely, his “powers” fall more closely under the heading of skills and enhancements, and will be so categorized here.
Skills:

Camouflage- Despite his size, Arthur is a master of stealth, able to move silently and unseen in almost any situation. The bodysuit he wears contains optical diffusers, which make him almost invisible to any sentient eye. Only the slightest blur betrays him, and even that only when he moves. The suit also masks his body heat, preventing detection by infrared vision or heat scanners.

Unarmed Combat- Trained by the greatest masters of his time, Arthur has since progressed to an unheard of mastery of Guan Kren, the peculiar unarmed combat style of the Guanyan people. His physical conditioning makes him lightning quick and surprisingly strong considering his lithe frame.

Firearm Mastery- As an intrusions expert, Arthur prefers concealed weapons and sniper rifles to automatic weapons or high explosive armaments, though he is trained with most standard demolitions. He has remarkable accuracy with any pistol or throwing weapon, such as a knife. He is also a proficient sniper.

Analysis and Systems Expertise- Arthur is able to work with most computer systems with a high degree of proficiency, and break into any familiar systems with ease.

Enhancements:

Musculature and bone solidification- Arthur’s muscles and bones are genetically coded to be denser than usual, yet lighter than those of regular Guanyans, giving him a great deal more speed and strength than would normally be possible with his frame and virtually unbreakable bones that are denser than many metallic alloys. His enhanced muscles also allow him to run faster and jump higher and farther than normal.

Optical Augmentation and Targeting System (OATS)- Cybernetic eye implants give Arthur several optical abilities, including zooming his normal vision, the ability to see in both infrared and ultraviolet, and night vision just as good as his usual vision. He also has a weapons targeting package connected to this implant, allowing him to designate and track enemies or allies and perform basic scans, such as bioscans or composition analysis.

Auditory and Transmission Enhancement System (ATES)- Similar to OATS but in his ears rather than his eyes, the ATES gives Arthur enhanced hearing and the ability to pick up most forms of transmitted communication.

Rapid Cellular Regeneration- When injured, Arthur heals more rapidly than normal. Minor cuts and bruises heal within half an hour, and even wounds that would be mortal on another Guanyan can heal completely given a few days uninterrupted rest. This enhancement also neutralizes poisons that enter his body, excepting the most powerful and fastest acting neurotoxins.


Weaknesses: Though his combat suit and reinforced epidermal layer (hard skin) offer some protection from bladed or other melee weapons, Arthur is far from immortal. If not given a chance to regenerate (eg decapitated, shot through a vital organ) he will die.

Opinions, anyone?

(Note: This character might actually fit quite well with Gawdly's villain idea, since he relies heavily on training and skills augmented by his enhancements, rather than the other way around.)

If my scanner worked I would show you a picture of him...

I thank you for your patience in rating (my) Inferno, so I think I'll clear a few things up...(my) Inferno fights for what he believes is good (which doesn't always agree with everyone else's beliefs)... with slightly unorthodox methods.
And by the way, that Picture wasn't of SC2-Inferno. That was the Charade.

No, the ruby in (my) Inferno's Chest doesn't have an eye in it...and he is shaped like a moderately well-muscled man... all in one piece. No floating things.

And I also noticed they never say where (their) Inferno comes from, we just assume he's the physical form of Soul Edge, aye?

The story I have for My form of Inferno (who, I think needs a name change to avoid confusion...) is set nowhere near the Storyline of SC2. I hope that clears a few things...

Hey! You promised no more pictures! :p

Anyway, the Cosplay Avenger is okay, because he knows that he's ripping stuff off ICly. In fact, that's the point of his existance.

For that matter, I think I'll put Sub-Arctic, his nemesis, and Kraken on the "In" list.

Resi- That sounds like a good idea, but there are two problems with that;
1)This is my first hero RP
2) Every other RP I've done has dennounced the use of werewolves.

Basically, I have no previous werewolf RP writings. Please, pick my character though.

For that matter, I think I'll put Sub-Arctic, his nemesis, and Kraken on the "In" list.

Excellent! I was really didn't want to have The Doctor erode the Corporate Islands into the ocean with some over-the-top device, but now that he's been accepted there is no need! >_> Super villain humor... really. Don't kill me. :P

For that matter, I think I'll put Sub-Arctic, his nemesis, and Kraken on the "In" list.

Yeee!!! *glomp* THANK YOU!!! You won't be disappointed! :D

Resi, in that case, here's what you can do: Arashi Hiyuuki is priority, no matter what. After that, you may choose between Shinji Hikurai (Hero), or Raven Vandell (Villian), according to whether you need either Shinji or Raven in the RP more.

Yeah... Sorry, but I liked the sound of it. And look how appropriate it was! Beh, doesn't matter anyway, since I probably won't be using him.

Resi- I can write a sampler if you want. You know a sample RP of Lycan Girl so you can see if she's playgerising anything. Would you like that>

are you still accepting heroes? if so then...

name: Monk
Gender: male
Species: Human
Age: 33
Weapon: He is adept with the katana but prefers hand to hand combat
Fighting style: His own creation. a mixture of tai-kwon-do and jujitsu.
Appearance: Bald, wears a plain brown robe. Is 5 foot nine and 195 pounds.
Advantages: Has exremely powerful senses of hearing and smell. Is blind so powers that involve the eyes(hypnotism) do not affect him.
Disadvanteges: Is blind so things that are quiet enough, with little smell could easily defeat him. He's only human. can be stopped by a bullet. Abilitys that involve sound (supersonic screams) are extra effective against him.
Backround: Was kidnnapped from his village at the early age of 6, he was sold to a rich landowner who took a liking to him and allowed him to train with him in the art of jujitsu. He escaped enslavement by hiding in the back of a wagon on a trip to town. He lived in the bvack alleys for many years, honing his skills in jujitsu. At the age of 23, he met a great master of tai-kwon-do, forced to live in the alleys after he lost his leg in a fight with no other way to support himself. The master taught him tai-kwon-do and, being a quick stuby, in five years he was a master of both arts. Seeing the strengths and weaknesses of eacch, he combined the two, making an almost unbeatable style of fighting that only he knew. In the middle of his training, however, he was accused of murder and caste into the town prisons. There he met a madman who ripped his eyes from their sockets. ow. His name was cleared and he was released. His master taught him to fight without th euse of his eyes. When his training was complete, he wandered the land, under the name of monk, for fear that his previous owner might catch up to him.

here's one i was trying to write a comic about:

name-marcus paulsen
alias-FROG!
sex-male
age-17
eyes-green
hair-dark brown
costume-green rain poncho w/hood, boots, armored gloves (custom made), paintball mask
powers- climb walls and ceilings, speed, agility, can breathe under water, webbed hands and toes (webbing retractabe), skin contains a hallucinagen (a la poison arrow frogs), can communicate primitavely with his animal counterparts.
weakness-fire
origin-in a class trip to a greenhouse, while in the rain forest rooms, a small "poison arrow frog" leaped into his pocket. it got to the local nuclear power plant, and a whole sub-species of mutated frogs were created. the herd migrated to his home town, were they began to follow him everywhere. he grew sick from the radiation the frogs contained, and was hostpitalized for a week. afterwards, he discovered his powers, ect, ect...

Trying again (deleted my first post). Here's a villain:
Name: Unknown (referred to as "bug" in government files)
Description: Parasite shaped like a large pill bug.
Powers: Weak telepathy
Origin: Discovered at the infamous Roswell crash site, "Bug" was sent to ex-weapons developer Dr. Thaddeus Cameal for study. Days later, Dr. Cameal went berserk, screaming that he needed to get to Area 51. He was sporting a hooded black cape. "Bug" was no where to be found...
Mode of Infestation: "Bug" latches on to the back of its host's head and drives its many arms through the skull. It releases a toxin which kills of the parts of the brain controlling free will. It controls the host by using its weak telepathic powers.
Host Powers: Dr. Cameal, being an ex-weapons designer, has an arsenal of advanced technology at his disposal. Under "Bug's" guidance, he has become a cyborg.
Weakness: Dr. Cameal can be damaged like any other cyborg. If he is killed, however, "Bug" can simply abandon him. When detached, "Bug's" weaker underside is its only weakness. Like pill bugs, it can roll up to protect itself, then could be destroyed by being dropped in acid or electrified water, ect...

Partiavania... take a knee. *pulls a sabre and taps your shoulders with it* I dub thee... Awesome.

Erm, Partiavania, I hate to say it, but....Spiderman ripoff much?

And Rockopotamia, cool character, though the background is a bit gruesome.

(FYI it's spelled Tae Kwon Do.)

This is a sample that I wrote about Lycan Girl. There are some ideas I have taken from movies and shows, but only small things that are common knowledge. This is just a little background. It covers all the werewolf aspects of Tala.


Maxine Sharp walked into her dorm room to find a most peculiar sight. Lying across her bed, was a full-grown, large, female, white wolf. The wolf was sound asleep, it’s tail beating against the bed happily. Maxine frowned and slammed shut the door. She marched over to her bed and tried to wake up the wolf. She called to it, she shook it, she tried to pick it up(bad idea), and she tried to roll if off the bed. But nothing she did had any effect, the wolf stayed where it was sound asleep. Finally, she tried the old tried and true method that she always forgot until last. She picked up a walking stick with a silver wolf’s head on it. She then walked to wolf and pulled it’s tail. The wolf jerked awake, it growled at Maxine through barred teeth. Suddenly, the wolf lunged at Maxine, It’s blood red eyes glowing as it tried to bite her. Maxine pulled the walking stick back and then whacked the beast with it. The silver head connecting with it’s brow.

The wolf pulled back, whimpering. It laid down at the front of the bed as the blood dripped from it’s head. It placed a paw to it’s face as though it was trying to stop the blood flow. Slowly, the wolf’s eyes turned from blood red to a shining, ice blue. Then stranger still, the wolf began to slowly morph, until finally, it turned it to a young woman. The woman was fully clothed in a black tank top, loose-fitting blue jeans, and blue socks with puppies on them. She was glaring angrily at Maxine, her ice blue eyes looking particularly cold. She wiped away the blood and strangely enough, her wound was beginning to heal, except for black circle around the wound that seemed to be getting worse. She brushed her shoulder-length, white hair out of her face, before sitting up and crossing her arms.

“Don’t do that!”, Growled the girl, getting up and flopping on the other bed in the room. “People get really curious when there’s a big black mark on my forehead.”

“Sorry, Tala.”,Murmured Maxine. “But if you’d just nap on your own...”

“Oh I’m sorry Maxi,”Bit out Tala sarcastically. “I didn’t mean to pass out on your bed after stopping a theft at the bank. I mean next time after a battle when I’m bruised and beaten and need to rest, I’ll remember to fall on my own bed.”

Tala closed her eyes and placed her arms behind her head. Maxine was felt a tad bit guilty. She knew how hard Tala’s life was. The truth was that Tala lead a double life, she was also a famous super heroine known as Lycan Girl. The weekend after Maxine and Tala had graduated, both girls and some other friends, went on a camping trip. Tala had gone out to get some more wood for the fire when she was bitten by a wolf. Tala’s left leg had been ripped to shreds, or at least that’s what she says, because when Maxine(the only girl who had heard Tala screaming) came to help her, the bite didn’t seem more the a flesh wound. By the time, they reached the camp, Tala’s leg was completely healed. The only evidence of the attack was Tala’s ripped pant leg. As the weeks went by Tala became strange, mildly annoying things seemed to have a greater effect on her and she seemed to be much more sensual around guys during the last week before the full moon. Maxine, who was obsessed with horror-fantasy, suggested that Tala may be a werewolf. Most people would have called Maxine crazy, but Tala trusted her and the afternoon of the full moon, she allowed Maxine to lock her in a cage. That night, Tala transformed. Not wanting to be a monster, Tala did everything she could to find a cure. Eventually, she created a serum to stop herself from transforming at a full moon. She was able to control the wolf within and transform at will without losing her human side, but when she became too angry, she would transform and lose control. Tala decided to use her abilities to help the less fortunate and be a symbol of justice. She didn’t always obey the law, but she always did the right thing, at least in her mind. Maxine was the only one who knew the whole story.

Maxine looked over and her gaze was captured by a rip in Tala’s tank top. She looked closer and saw that there was a huge diagonal gash going from just below her right breast to her left hip. It was closed up, but still looked terribly gruesome.

“You’re hurt.”, Muttered Maxine quietly.

Tala opened one eye and looked at Maxine before closing it again and mumbling.

“Yeah, that usually happens when you take on scum.”

“But it’s not healing.”,Gasped Maxine because thanks to Tala’s Lycanthropy abilities she could heal almost automatically.

“Silver”, was all that she said in response.

Maxine muttered an oath under her breath. That’s why Tala had been so angry about being hit with the cane. Silver was the greatest weakness of a Lycanthrope. It could slow down their healing abilities, make them extremely ill, and in the worse case, kill them. There was no telling how long it would take for Tala to finish healing. One thing was for sure though, she wouldn’t be fighting crime for a while.

“So what happened?”, Questioned Maxine sitting at the edge of Tala’s bed.

“I stopped a baddie. ‘Nough said.”

“Please tell me.”,Begged Maxine.

“Fine,”Sighed Tala keeping her eyes shut. “I heard the alarm go off at the bank, so I ran over there as fast as I could. When I got in there this guy about our age was trying to steal some money. He was alone so I knew I could take him easily. The problem was that the alarm was still going when I went inside.”

“Eep!”,Cried Maxine.

“Yeah,”,Smiled Tala without humor. “The jerk had a switch blade and he gutted me. It was pretty deep. I got him outside and away from the sirens and alarms. It didn’t take long to bring him. I felt bad for the guy he was kind of cute. Anyway, I came here, transformed, and passed out. You know it’s easier to heal if I’m in wolf mode.”

Maxine stared silently at Tala. She felt sorry for the girl. She was cursed and probably always would be. It wasn’t just the Lycanthropy. She was cursed with her sense of responsibility. She didn’t need to be heroine, but she seemed to feel she must. Also, Tala had found out that it could be transferred, not only by biting, by unprotected relations. So Tala didn’t get involved with guys, which was even harder for her to do because she also had to deal with heat. Maxine wished that her friend didn’t have to deal with this, but it was her choice, so there was nothing to do, but help.

“Did you take the serum?” Tala nodded at Maxine’s question, so Maxine asked another. “Anything I can do?”

Tala smiled for real this time, but still didn’t open her eyes. She appreciated her friends want to help her.

“Sure, make me a copy of today’s notes, alright?”,Asked Tala tiredly then yawned. “Oh, and could you stop the crime for the day?”

Maxine whispered no as Tala drifted off to sleep. If she could she would, but she couldn’t. Maxine covered Tala with a blanket and prayed that the villains took the day off, too. Tala needed to rest or she’d never heal properly. Maxine grabbed her books and made a mental note to never hit Tala with silver again. That girl needed all the power she could muster.

yeah... I sorta thought it sucked too... but I had just woken up and other such lame exuses.

I've got it this time!
Super Name: Spiritwalker
Name: Kayla Starr
Age: 17
Bio: After a deadly shooting in her school, Kayla was left holding her boyfriend Adam as he died. Afterwards, she swore to contact him no matter what it took. After many seances and a couple sessions with the Ouija board, she finally contacted him... and unlocked her own potent abilities.

Powers: Spiritwalker can see and comunicate with spirits. By focusing spirits around her, Spiritwalker can levitate. She can also have the spirits manipulate objects, giving her a sort of pseudo telekinesis. By concentrating spirits, she can launch astral projectiles that cause spiritual trauma. She can weave spirits into barriers capable of stopping bullets and also utilizes astral projection to scout ahead.

Weakness: Loud, continuous noises of anything else unexpected that interrupts her concentration. If she loses her concentration, she suffer all human weaknesses. If she stay astral projected for too long, she can lose her grip on her body. It could then become possesed by another spirit or by a demon.

Costume: Black hooded cape and silver harlequin mask.

Thrope.....lol. Lycan Girl's powers are original enough, but it kinda strikes me how much she is like a cross between Peter Parker ("With great power comes great responsibility") and X-Men's Rogue ("I must not touch those i love"). I say bring her in, if only for her personality :p

If she becomes famous enough I can make a crappy costume of her and get to use one of her powers at a time! "Woo"

*ahem*

Anyways, I'm happy I'm in on this if only because I like the idea of running around with some geak character who is lucky enough to actually be able to do some of his favorite characters powers... unfortunatly it doesn't change the fact he's a geak.

I'm not adding more background to him along the same lines that Gehenna (one of the best characters RPers I've seen around) that I want to develope him during play. As normal he will remain something of a comical hero who is rather inept... but he makes up for it by being useful to an extent.

Thrope.....lol. Lycan Girl's powers are original enough, but it kinda strikes me how much she is like a cross between Peter Parker ("With great power comes great responsibility") and X-Men's Rogue ("I must not touch those i love"). I say bring her in, if only for her personality :p


Hey thanks! ;) I appreciate the vote of confidence. I like your characters too. but I like the hero's better then the villan.

Name: Arzsu’un „Little Boy“ Vertak
Alias: Splitter
Gender: Male
Species: Atlantide (two-legged reptiles)
Age: 150 (still very young for his species)
Size: 254 cm (8‘4‘‘ )
Weight: 320 kg
Haircolor: none (no hair)
Skin: dark brown to yellow, scaly
Eyes: Yellow

Bio: After 40 successfull years of military service in the imperial army Arzsu’un Vertak had to quit the service due to a „dispute“ with his comanding officer (the officer in question and two other officers were seriously wounded). He then started to work as a mercenary for Heroes.imp what would be the address for contacting him (and my lame excuse why Resi, searching for superheroes, finds him on the list).

Strengths: Atlantides in general and Arzsu’un in particular are physically very strong. For Arzsu’un it’s no problem to lift objects of more than three times his own weight and a hit with his fist can split rocks.
He’s not invulnerable but can take more damage than humans. His scaly skin protects him very well against hits with blunt objects and sometimes even knives etc.
Can survive temperatures between 423° Kelvin and 213° Kelvin (though fire burns him like everyone else and temperatures under 258° Kelvin freeze him)

Weaknesses: He’s not very fast, in the physical and the intelectual way. He easily loses his temper and goes berserk. Then things can become uncomfortable for everybody within his range (see the officer).
He is unable to move when temperatures fall under 258° Kelvin.

Weapons: Arzsu’un can handle most common fire-arms and is trained in sword fighting. Due to his low agility he prefers using fire-arms.

So... here's a question. Are we gonna be spread out across the world, or are we going to JOIN TOGETHER?! TO UNITE AS ONE FORCE AGAINST THE MOUNTING DARKNESS?!? TO BE THINGS OF LEGEND THE LITTLE PEOPLES CAN DREAM OF ONE DAY BECOMING?!?! TO--*is smacked with a 2x4*

....Thanks... Needed that...

*holding 2x4* No prob. But he brings up a good point. How are we going to do this?

Sex: male
Hair color: red
eye color: brown
hieght: 6' 1"
weight: 180lbs
Nationality: originality unknown (caucasion), currently full Al-Imvad citizen.
job: works exclusively for Al-Imvad royal family, but is often contracted
weapon: training in all weapon, vehicle, and combat types

A superhero in name only, Joe Baker is the ultimate commando: strong, smart, and ruthless. He is well known in Al-Imvadjah's inner intellegence circles as their 'best man' for any job. He is eccelent at infiltrating any facility, withstanding pain and torture, and taking down the toughest foes. He is often equipped, payed for from the King's private account, with the best in stealthy, bullet-proof, totally sweet clothing, as well as an array of powerful weapons and high, and low tech gear. Think of him as a cross between Sam Fisher, John Clark a la Without Remorse, Bourne, Batman, with just a hint of Bond.
In FT our commando training factility is actually nicknamed 'The Bakery' after him.

The Gothic Underworld- Maybe?! okay I can accept that. You do know though that not all "gray" people do what they do for cash? I've made some choices about Lycan girl;
1)Her serum can cure freshly changed werewolves, it only helps her control it because she's too far gone.
2)She really hates her time being wasted because she has so little of it. (crime fighting, school, job, training, free-time, studying, etc)
3)She sometimes acts as though everything she's doing doesn't matter.(makes jokes)
4)There are no transformation quotes because it's really off the cuff with that stuff. Here are my quotes;

Is it just me, or has Resi forgotten all about this......???

He isn't on as often as we are, he's not forgotten about it, he's just living out his personal life.

I have school in the morning and afternoon, I go out at night. I still make it here. But then again I have nothing to do in the evenings between homework and my life. *is bored* YAY LYCAN GIRL!

OOC: Resi, like myself, has a busy RL. I'm amazed I actually found time to think up a new character & put him on NS.

This is Mercenary Soldiers, by the way. :mp5:

Hmm. Makes you wonder whether he even has time for this.

OOC: Resi, like myself, has a busy RL. I'm amazed I actually found time to think up a new character & put him on NS.

This is Mercenary Soldiers, by the way. :mp5:
That's understandable. With a girlfriend and school going on, NationStates is definitely not my major priority.

This is what I do when I'm bored. I have a weird amount of free time, even with a smothering schedule....I need a boyfriend.

Gothicp- Good point.

Bump

We should vote in a new leader for this thing, to make decisions when Resi cannot and work with Resi to keep this going.
My Nomination
The Gothic Underworld

I don't care who we nominate, as long as they're fair, and Resi knows about it.

I agree with both of you. It seems resonable. Anyway, then we can make some progress.

Quotes: Time to defrag your hard drive.
Time to reboot, I'm outta here.
Looks like you caught a nasty virus.

OOC: I wasnt going to try to enter this RP but then at work(I drive at work so a lot of time for the mind to wander) I thought of two characters I could RP, and not screw the RP as a whole with me not present. I will submit them and you guys tell if you agree, they are similar in powers, but I didnt intend to have them both entered, i figured you (the group) could choose, or just Resi, what ever here I go.

NSA Document on Paranormal Activity
Name: The Al Sulban, AKA:Al-Khlawiyah AKA: Pariah AKA: The Sandman AKA:Angel of Mercy AKA: Messenger
Secret Identity:None
Age: 25-40years(An absolute determination has not been made)
Sex:Presumably Male
Height: 5'10"-6'(An absolute determination has not been made)
Weight: 150lbs-170lbs(An Absolute determination has not been made)
Eyes: Brown(Though every eye color has been reported this color is most consistant)
Hair:Black
Complexion:Caucasian: Ivory to Swarthy(Reports very too greatly, though a Mideastern geneological appearence is a consistancy)
Know Affiliations: None
Subject Background: The Al Sulban, has been reported all over the world. We have researched the myth of a Bedouin(or possibly Bedouins) who have mastered arcane arts, conceilment, healing with herbs, using the same herbs to induce hallucinations.
The Al Salban fits the profile of such a mythological figure, however the subject has failed to confine himself to the deserts indigenous to his people.
Field agents have reported encounters with a figure(presumably a male) in garb similiar tot he garb worn by the Bedouin in the Jordanian desert, the figure is dirty and typically covering his traditional garb with the garb of local homeless, beggars, vagabounds.
The encounters leave the agents in question in various states, some report euphoria resulting in enhanced preformence, injured agents have reported extreme injuries being treated and healing days or even hours(this has been documented on record).
While other agents report that the presence of the AL Sulban has caused there cover to blown, incite riots, and violence in otherwise ordinary people.
It is also note worthy that in every occurence the Al Sulban has been able to approach even the most experienced agents without notice until almost completely upon the agent, and as well equally able to melt away into crowds or background with the eyes of agents fixxed directly upon him.
Every report includes the mentioning that when watching the AL Sulban the surveillers eyes "slide off" the Al Sulban, it becomes difficult to focus, eyes water, some even report short term memory loss upon the departure of Al Sulban--Subjects forget they are attempting to watch the Al Sulban leave, or that they have just had an encounter. The memory loss appears to dissapate with the absence of the Al Sulban.
He has been reported to carry a pistol, and a large knife.
One MI-6 Operative reported an encounter with the AL-Salban in an Alley in the back streets of Moscow where by muggers had trapped the Al Sulban in a dead end, "He" produce the knife(very similiar to a Ghurka), and did not hesistate to begin killing the muggers. The operative "felt" the over whelming urge to enter the melee and aid the Al Sulban. Wheh the fighting ended, and all of the attackers were dead, the AL Sulban was gone. What is note worthy is that the MI6 operative clearly remembers over powering several of the men and out running the police. The MI6 operative was 62 years of age, under cover as an aid to an Indian business man.

Al Sulban Facts for RPing.
Powers The Al Sulban has an uncanny sense of direction.
Has the ability to open any portal(portal as in physical opening through which a person may pass, not a magical hole in the universe or what ever).
Is a master of blending into any enviorment.
Never stands out.
The mystical energy chanelled by the AL Sulban makes him difficult to focus on, litereally the harder one tries to pay attention to him the less they will be able to, this may even reach the point of temporarily forgeting they were even trying. Note: young children seem to be completely immune to this.
The Al Sulban commands a mystical wind,not in the concept of thowing a tornado at you, but instead for the purposes of distraction, flying sand and garbage, to distract the eyes.Note: it is this wind which "opens" doors and windows, manhole covers...etc etc.
Using herbs and mystic energy the Al Sulban is a master healer, and it is said can snatch men back from death if it was recent, and violent, natural death the Al Sulban either can not or will not interfere with.
The presence of the AL Sulban causes the best side of people to immerge given the situation, be it bravery, compassion, accuracy, it may even manifest itself in increased speed and strengnth, or charm and guile.
The Al SUlban himself is as strong as an ordinary man, as fast as one, and completely vulnerable to what an ordinary man is vulnerable to.
Though using herbs and mystic energy the Al Sulban wards off age to a near stand still.
The AL Sulban does not typically involve himself in trivial everyday affairs. A mugging in the park is a natural occurence and must be allowed to go its natural course.
However the Al Sulban can sense when there is a thread in an incident that connects to a world threatening event.
This is where he gets involved by encouraging people on the right path.
In short the Al Sulban is a Muse for Heros.

John Grayman Facts for RPing.
John is not an ex-covert opperative.
He was born in 1900 in Manchester,UK, by age twenty-nine he found himself a mediocre killer for hire. While being sent by a soon to be rich widow to kill an unfornate mogul on Business in the United States he encountered a Bokor(A Voodoo priest of both White/Black magics) whom his intened victim had been seeing for protection from competitors.
The Bokor sensed the darkness in John's soul, and sought to tame it and make it his own.
However he discovered instead that John had great spiritual power. So he began teaching John.
Into the teaching the Bokor realized that John was going out into the night occasionally and murdering young women. He decided John was too dangerous and was going to "contain" him. He began a ritual to steal John's soul, he sought John's power, it is believed that this greed lead to the spell only half working. John "felt" what his teacher was doing, and before the spell was completed John handled things the old fashioned way and cut the man's throat. However the Bokor had succeeded in removing John's soul from his body and placing it in a small ceramic jar.
HE had failed to bind John. This is the birth of John Grayman.
Powers: John is souless, he can be killed by any means any ordinary man an can be killed by, However John has the strength of 4 or 5 men. He has the reflexes of serpent. He also has a supernatural ability to go unnoticed like a snake in the grass.
To the weak minded John can control their minds with little effort, a few words and eye contact and he can make men throw themselves from buildings or eat glass.
The strong of will and mind may also be manipulated (to a much lesser degree, and with far more work).
John, if killed in an ordinary manner will return to life in 28 days.
When killed his body will disappear the moment it is out of sight.
An amulet in Johns possesion if destroyed will keep him the grave for 29 years.
If the Jar is found and shattered his soul will return to his body, and he will be a man again.
However John has been a practioner of Voodoo for nearly a hundred years and is a powerful Bokor, if made fully human again he remains very dangerous.
As well he has sharpened his natural abilities with mystical rights, and can adapt using magic very quickly to enemies.
Also he has trained his fighting abilities, he is an expert marksmen, explosive expert, hand to combat. He is in short, a killing machine who loves his job.
His Cabal of Assassins are indeed devoted to him Religiously, they await him to find the spell to remove their souls and raise them up to his immortal status. Their goal is to slowly dominate the world.
John will only enter a holy site if absolutly required of a task and will absolutely commit no violence on a holy site(of any organized religion), this includes being outside a holy site and doing something to effect violence on the interior.
John will not enter a cemetary under any circumstance, what so ever, he usually wont even acknowledge one is present or near.
Naturally intuitve people can "sense" John's unnarturalness. Devoted Holy men may exercise some power over John and enjoy a great deal of protection from him, only if they act in violence is he allowed to raise a hand to them.
Deeply devoted Holy men have been known to cause John great discomfort simply by speaking to him, or by quoting scripture of their respective religion.
The main amulet that John keeps in his possesion is an amulet that allows him to not be seen when looked upon straight on, anyone in sight of John can only see him from the corner of their eye, giving John an amazing advantage over oponents. It is worth noting that certain people John has encountered over the years have "overcome" Johns amulet, this is no small force of will and the men who have accoplished this were still over come by John. However many of his illusions can be overcome by strict concentration, and meditation.

Al-Imvadjah, I thank you for your vote of confidence. However, i agree with Grazhkjistan, that Resi should at least know about this, and even possible, Resi agrees with it. Therefore, let's leave that aside for now.

Okay, i have an idea. How about everyone, apart from submitting their main Hero or Villian, also gets to submit some of their other characters for cameo purposes? In this case, Resi will take his pick, and choose those he thinks have potential to add on to the storyline.

It was late when I wrote those, but I would really like to know if there are objections?

I like GU's Idea, so... yeah. One Mundane, comin' up!

Name: Prof. Johann Hausmann
Age: 70
Sex: Male
Hair: White and Grey
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 110 lbs
Description: Short, bony, hooked nose, wears black trousers, white dress shirt and lab coat with pocket protector. Wears Thick Tortoise-Shell Glasses. Salt-and-Pepper Handlebar Moustache and Beard, both neatly groomed, Hair can be described as "Einsteinian". Carries a cane made of ebony with a silver raven's head for a handle.

Strengths: Certified Genius (IQ of 230), brilliant scientist, speaks 5 languages (English, Norwegian, German, Grazhkjat (the official language of Grazhkjistan) and Russian), is the only other person who knows how to maintain and operate the OKTO.

Weaknesses: Arthritic, Very Nearsighted (almost Blind without glasses).

Bio: Prof. Johann Hausmann, a scientist from Norway, was and is Allan Fisher (aka Kraken)'s Mentor. The inventor of the Neural-Interface system, Professor Hausmann saw Fisher's potential and took him under his wing, helping Fisher develop his ideas. Their combined talents created the OKTO.

Hausmann's knowledge of the OKTO is a Dangerous thing, because General John Howards is still very sore about losing the OKTO, and he has started a search for both Fisher and Hausmann...

If I can think of any more... well, that's what Edit is for.

Here's my normal perons cameo:

Name:Maxine Sharpe
Age:19
Hair:Copper
Eyes:Brown
Description:5'2", pettite, braces, light sprinkling of freckles on her cheeks and nose, athletic, very attractive, no destinguishing marks
Attire:Lots of retro stuff
Bio: Maxine has been best friend's with Tala Wolf since they were both in diapers. Though a small number of Tala's friends no her secret identity, Maxine is the only one who knows the whole truth. She considers Tala a sister, and Tala feels the same. The girls are also roommates in uni.
Strengthes:Intelligent and a good fighter
Weaknesses;She's not all that strong and knowing Tala's secret gets her into tough spots.

My point was that somebody should be allowed to run it when he is away, with his full support of course.

A squad of guards, loyal to Joe Baker, have the same equipment, but are less well trained and skilled.

Hmm. When i said cameo roles, i didn't restrict anything. I also meant that characters who would normally be Heroes, but are restricted from entering because of Resi's one-only rule, could be entered in cameo roles to provide more character RP building for the Hero or Villian entered in the storyline. To that effect, i intend to enter Michiko Hikoori, and if applicable Shinji Hikurai, for cameo roles.

Bedou, you might have to wait a while for your answer, cause Resi runs the whole show, and there's no telling when he'll be back.

Oh yeah. Anybody wants to TG Resi to remind him about this thread? I'm thinking it's not only his personal life, but that he has actually forgotten about the whole thread.

He hasn't forgotten. I mentioned it to him yesterday. He'll be back soon.

Ok, Guanyu, i get that message. Did Resi say what he thinks of the latest ideas?

*Shrugs.* We were talking about building him a new computer, so that kind of took precedence. I just mentioned it to him and he acknowledged it.

Wow, this place is dying. So I bumped it.

I actually have a character on Virtue that's a lvl 34 Tanker (Axe/Invulnerability). He might fit on this rather well!

Bump
Pronunciation: 'bump
Function: noun
Etymology: probably imitative of the sound of a blow
1 : a relatively abrupt convexity or protuberance on a surface: as a : a swelling of tissue b : a cranial protuberance
2 a : a sudden forceful blow, impact, or jolt b : DEMOTION
3 : an act of thrusting the hips forward in an erotic manner

Well, since my hero creating skills are sub-par, I would like to offer my services to RP any "cameo" roles that may be available, or create a non-hero character.

Anyone looking for Alfred or Jarvis? LOOK NO FARTHER!

"Sir, will you be wearing the red or blue spandex tonight?"

Damn, I wish Tala could have a butler. But she's a co-ed she don't have enough money for one. Crap. She needs a man-servant. hehe man-sevant.

Here's another one. I'm on a Roll!!!

(and GU, no offense, but before you open your mouth, I have not slept at all. Lay off.)

Real Name: Cameron Large
Hero Name: TheChameleon (also known for his professional wrestling background, and NO, I didn't steal that from Spiderman, I happen to be The Chameleon in real life, and my wrestling is backyard, thanks :D Also, my character that i'm RPing is the same character as I portray in wrestling, with the exception that he's A superhero, which isn't mentioned in wrestling, BUT his wrestling is mentioned in his superheroing. Thanks for reading that.)

Height: 5'9
Weight: 250 (not A fatty, just big, broad shoulders, arms, and chest, has a bit of flab too.)
Enthicity: The Chameleon isn't just White, he's kinda pink too.
Hair: Completely shaved, shiny bald head.
Eyes: Grey/Blue/Green, changes with clothing.
Facial Hair: Shaggy scraggly hair, not in A beard exactly, but just along the jawline, with an obvious difference in the length at places.
Weapons: Although he's not opposed to grabbing A trashcan to throw at A purse-snatcher on the streets, Chameleon is at his best with his bare hands.
Attire: Camouflage pants, A bright orange shirt that says "Pumpkin City's Pumpkin Farm" with A big pumpkin in the middle, A blue flannel shirt that has had the sleeves torn off. Wears A Dog Choke-Chain.
Mentality: A happy-go-lucky personality, unless somebody pisses him off. Not likely to cause fights, unless somebody makes fun of the current wrestling federation he's in, or his friends. (members of the savage wrestling alliance) Known for random crazy events, like the time he hopped down the EWA Locker Room hallway in A black trashbag singing "We are the Champions."
Quote: "Mmm Chicken..." and "BWAH!" not to mention "I smash you good I do!"

Super Powers: Although they're not really powers, i'm going to explain them in groups, so they're easy to read.

And his Abilities With its own section...

Fighting Style: The Chameleon is A hardcore style wrestler, and does anything he needs to in order to survive, including, but not limited to, biting, clawing, and headbutting. Also has limited boxing training, and some ninjutsu training. (Although, his ninjutsu training is used primarily in sneaking, occasionally he might throw in A pressure point or two.)
"Powers": The Chameleon has the ability to modify his style and adapt to current situations, or even to crappily imitate his opponent's move, although he usually hurts himself in the process. His strength is quite great, dispite his small stature (well, at least as far as superheroes go...) He is quite fast, but only by human standards. His endurance is legendary for his time in the ring, he is known for his ability to take punches and kicks like none other. (This doesn't apply to bullets, considering he's flesh and bone...) His GREATEST super power has to be luck, because no matter what, it seems like he always comes out injured, but on top.

Camouflage: Chameleon knows how to hide, not because of any supernatural power, but he can just... vanish into A crowd easily.

Super Weaknesses: This gets its own section.

CHICKEN!!!: The Chameleon happens to be addicted to Chicken, especially in its fried form. One look at A bucket of KFC will bring the man into A frenzy, smashing everything in his way to get his hands on that bucket, including innocents, friends, relatives, anyone. Then, whilst he munches away, he is totally ignorant of what goes on around him. The ONLY positive to this chicken addiction happens to be once he's eaten, he seems re-energized.

Weak Knees: Due to time in the ring, The Chameleon has bad knees, which means sure-fire that A dropkick in the right kneecap would take him down instantly. This doesn't mean he won't get up though... but it does make it hard for him to travel very far on foot, for the pain is nearly unbarable.

Mean Streak: The Chameleon has A temper, and if you make him mad, he might grab your throat and do bad things with it.

Guilt: The Chameleon used to be A heel in wrestling (bad guy) and has even gone so far as to kick his now best friend's wife in the face, sometimes this gets to him, and will make him as dangerous as A kitty cat.

Discription: The Chameleon is A tad insane, which I think defines his roll as A superhero. Although being nothing more than A mere man, he tries his hardest to do good and just things. Although he has alot of dog-like qualities (such as occasionally scratching his ear with his hand, panting with his tongue out, supreme loyalty) he does get on peoples nerves sometimes. (Hey, another dog-like quality) Completely innocent and docile, the man loves videogames, doesn't come to his real name, and loves to sleep on the floor.
Oh, and his english is really broken, just from lack of sanity.

Well Guys, how's that? I had to make some stuff work from wrestling to super heroing, but I think he's pretty... even. If you wanna read TheChameleon's background stuff, go ahead. The site that i'm posting here has his latest wrestling antics from an RP board I post on.

Extreme Wrestling Association (http://www.wdwehq.com) (well, the sites acting weird, its closing down, sadly, but if the archives still work, you can take a peek.)

Telegram me if your interested in letting me come!

(and GU, no offense, but before you open your mouth, I have not slept at all. Lay off.)

You think I'm gonna lay off? I was thinking of the song "Son of a Preacherman" all through the way in reading this character bio :p

And Resi seems to have forgotten this thread for real. I'm seriously thinking of hijacking it for my own aims.

GU do it! Steal the topic. Make it real! C'mon I'm so bored!

If you hijack, please take one of my guys.

Ooc: Yeah... something seriously needs to happen. I've got some more cameos/villians but I want to make sure this thread has a pulse before I post them... No point in pumping gas into an engine-less car, if you know what I mean.

Go, do it! You're on here a lot and you want to see this thread grow... My blessing I give unto you. We've made our heros and given them the chance to live and breathe, so... Justice League!!! LET'S ROCK!!!

Hold on. If i'm to hijack this thread, I must make sure i have something to work on first. Give me a few days to work out a scenario, and choose my heroes. Also, do take note that i'm also involved in Assington Vampires 3 by Assington and Ever The Hope Of Many: The Celadrin Awaken by Tarlcahia, so I may not be able to give this thread full attention.

We'll see how this works out. I'll give you an answer in a few days.

I get what you're saying. There are alot of Threads I got involved with that blew up quickly then deflated due to loss of intrest or the story going weak. We don't want that to happen here Plus, I understand you are busy. But please try to take over here. I'm very interested.


And pick my character please.

my superhero would be called
Uberbob
his special thingys are:
has very hard head :headbang:
can take any sort of damage :upyours: :mp5:
super accuracy :eek: :sniper:

weakness is unbelivebly salt water he will fry if touched by it

his name is James Brown
works in Tesco
Favorite food is pizza
hated food is bob rump steak

he was mutated in a tesco warehouse by the evil genius called
mr Kartoffelkopf

BorBobia, I'll let that slide because you're still a rookie, but from now on, if you wanna add something to a post, use the Edit/Delete button in the lower right corner.

I'll add on to that. No way in hell would i take your character, Borbobia, if i take over this thread. It's an unbelievably badly done godmodding character, and it's a horrible "joke" character. At least the Cosplay Avenger was a good "joke character".

Jeez.

BTW guys, spots for heroes and villains will be limited if i take this over. I'll stay put with Resi's current In list, but i can't take in too many more. However, I am pleased to announce that Lycan Girl is now in my In list.

ooc: I hate to be an anoying begger, but please take Spiritwalker. All of the threads I was in on died recently and I'm getting bored...

*hugs GU* I LOVE YOU! *calms down and let's go* I mean, that's dude! You won't regret it!

I'm backing out of this one, I just don't have time cuz homework is gettin heavy.

Can I please be in? Cuz... I'm A pretty good Roleplayer, I'm new to the board, but I'm experienced in RPs. Not only that, but my character gets along with people easy, and could help keep the super serious curb to A low. Hey, I could even make him A villain, cuz he's weird and could justify anything in his own mind. Thanks!

No. The Chameleon is out. End of story.

Latest news, Spiritwalker is in. I'll decide the definitive IN list tomorrow.

hm.....interesting....
*thinks about joining....if it is still possible*

Is there room for another?

Name: Choshinsei Flashman

Height: Somewhere around 6ft

Weight( Includeing armour ): 170pnds on the dot

Powers: Super-Sonic speeds, Dureing top speed Flashman can littlerly turn a blade of grass into a weapon( Think about it, moveing around Mach5, and anything you can get your hands on is a weapon.), If fighting something larger, as in MUCH larger, can grow to said height, but dureing increased height, speed is disabled, but is incredibaly strong. Good in most forms of Fighting.

Weapon(s): Staff

Weaknesses: Without armour, he is basicaly human, ecept for the speed and such.

Apperence: http://www.supersentai.com/database/1993_dairanger/images/red.jpg( This is WITH armour, i know, its thin, but its incredibaly strong. )

History: Born in Japan, he was trained in most Martial Arts, but one day, due to a chemical spill, he gained his powers. He couldn't only run fast, but he could move any part of his body incredibaly fast, wich also ment he could speed up, or reverse his growth. Yet, he remained human in all aspects but his powers, meaning, no ultra-strong skin, nothing.

Keep them coming in, folks. It's not too late yet.

Name: Arctos, Wolf Immortal
Real Name: Unknown, changes with time.

Age: Stopped at juvinile/young adult

Gender: Male

Height: between 1.8 and 2 metres.

Description: Biped wolf, unique mask (wolf face markings), a blue tint to his fur, blue eyes.

Fighting style: Roman, European, Eastern, Wolf.

Weapons: A gladius, a spear, Excalibur, his bite.

Strength: Immortal, can distort time (he can slow down time, enabling him to complete complexe manuevers within a fraction of a second).

Weakness: He is a wolf (wolves are stereotyped), immortal, his loyalty can lead to people tricking him, can suffer pain normally (as a normal person would) and instead of dying, enters comas.

Very Brief History: Born a wolf in Roman Britain. Eventually discovers he is immortal. Survives many execution attempts. Fled to the east during the fall of Rome. Travels the world, trying to find his true purpose.

Thought I would throw something into the mix for fun. I may not be able to post often, but I will sure try.
Name: Henry Richards
Age: early 30's
Gender: male
Height: 6' 2"
weight: 180lbs
Special powers: Extremely good balance and agility. Above normal strength. The ability to walk almost perfectly silently through almost any terrain. Extremely good eyesight(20/60) Extremely good survival techniques and instincts. Limited ability to disturb telekinetic fields.

Pottsylvainia's best anti-terrorist, but he always insists on working alone. Extremely calculating, he doesn't always make the best conversationalist. Equipped with a .62 caliber sniper rifle that he designed himself, that launches it's bullets almost 1 1/2 times as fast as the .50 BMG round, and a variety of special loads makes him capable of penetrating everything but the toughest armor. A bullpup style straight pull bolt action brings the over all length of the rifle down about 48 in., and a special recoil absorbing system makes this rifle handlable, even at it's featherweight(compared to the size of the cartridge) 15 pounds. Between the rifles extremely solid design, a well mounted 15-40x, 50mm scope, and Henry's natural super eyesight, stregth, and steadiness, he can easily put every bullet of the rifles ten round removable clip into an 6x6 round target at a miles distance. He also carries a huge revolver, with a 12 in barrel, and a 4 shot cylinder. Chambered for the same round as his rifle, it still amounts to the hand gun being over 20 in long. Even with the milder loads that he feeds it and a well designed muzzle brake, no normal human could reliably fire the weapon, and even Henry would hardly dare to try it one handed. A special extendable shoulder stock can be pulled from the top of the receiver. It's cylinder completly removes for loading and cleaning, and Richards carries extra cylinders in pouches on his bandolier, to which he also attaches the holster to his weapon, hanging it on his left hip, in a cross draw position(not exactly the fastest weapon on the draw). Besides his guns, he carries a large survival/fighting bowie knife, with 10 in of blade, and a 6in bladed switchblade. Henry seems to get a supreme pleasure out of knife fighting, and combined with his skills in various martial arts, makes him a fast and formidible hand to hand foe. His suit is what he likes to call "chrystal" camo, which is designed so that it automatically copies it's surroundings, making him, when on the prowl, appear only as a whisp of shadow. His boots have uppers of the same camo, but he couldn't work it onto the soles, and he only wears his face mask when it is reallt urgent.
His belt and bandolier carry every thing he might need in the woods, including a special cylinder, silencer, and 20 rounds of .45 acp that fit his revolver, to use in a clandestine situation. He is still only human though, and will still take his cuts, scratches, and bruises from whatever hurts you and me. However, his enormous will often keeps him fighting even when severely injured.

So, that is the sniper. :sniper:

Latest news, Spiritwalker is in. I'll decide the definitive IN list tomorrow.
Much olbiged. (Don't worry, I'll use spellcheck in the thread)

Apperence: http://www.supersentai.com/database/1993_dairanger/images/red.jpg

Get Bent GU.

Get Bent GU.

Get over it Chameleon.

already am.

C'mon GU, I made my Characters for minimal appreances, the kind who can grift in out effecting the story line while being a day to day need.
Pick my villian or my "good guy" hero is too strong a word.

Oh, please stop spamming with pleading, okay?

Oh, please stop spamming with pleading, okay?

I agree completely... cheese...

Oh, please stop spamming with pleading, okay?

I agree. It's a waste of space. I mean I asked GU to consider my person like once. And even then, he had already maybed it and I was addressing another issue in my response prior to asking. Begging is a waste of time and space.

I agree. It's a waste of space. I mean I asked GU to consider my person like once. And even then, he had already maybed it and I was addressing another issue in my response prior to asking. Begging is a waste of time and space.

It's annoying, too. Constantly being bombarded by "Oh, c'mon! Please let me in? Please? Please?! Why not?!?" tends to grate at the nerves.

BTW, Congrats, Thrope! Lycan Girl sounds like fun to RP with.

And also, Wolfenlands, I think Arctos' fate was sealed once the word "Immortal" was added, and going into comas and being stereotyped just doesn't cut it for weaknesses.

I know GU's in charge of all that, but...

Actually, it's more of the fact that Lycan Girl was already in, and i couldn't have duplications :p

OK, here's the definitive list:

IN
Arashi Hiyuuki (The Gothic Underworld) (h)
Shinji Hikurai (The Gothic Underworld) (h)
Michiko Hikoori (The Gothic Underworld) (h)
Raven Vandell (The Gothic Underworld) (v)
The Cosplay Avenger (Notian Tettup) (h)

The Hooded Claw (Marshahnk) (h)
Kraken (Grazhkjistan) (h)
Sub-Arctic (Frostguarde) (h)
The Doctor (Frostguarde) (v)
Spiritwalker (Mageddon) (h) (has some potential, but show me you can do better)
Lycan Girl (Thrope) (h) (keep up your good standard!)
John Grayman (Bedou) (i'm giving you a chance, but if you whine anymore, i'll drop your character into one of those numerous plot holes) (r)
Henry Richards (Pottsylvania) (very interesting character, very detailed bio, i see potential here. But do keep up this standard) (h)


OUT
Al-Sulban (Bedou) (can't see him fitting in with the rest)
John "The Son of a Preacherman" Thompson (Grazhkjistan) (nice character, but i can see a lot of offended Christians baying for my blood if i include this character :P)
The Chameleon (The Chameleon) (Too much of a wild card, and your impoliteness doesn't help you a tad)
Uberbob (BorBobia) (seriously, no)
Choshinsei Flashman (Mesazoic) (Resi originally said that characters must be original, and i agree with him)
Arctos (Wolfenlands) (too bad, Lycan Girl got in first, so i can't take Arctos even though he seems not bad. Besides, my 1st impression of you is that you aren't as good as RPer as Thrope)
Mr Mercury (Scotsnation) (I can see potential with the character itself, unfortunately i can't say the same for the RPer)
Echo (Leaky Cauldron) (Simple, i don't have a good 1st impression of you as an RPer, so byebye)


Everyone else is out, simply because they are not good enough. I'm gonna need a few more villians, at least.


Note: All Heroes or Villians are allowed at most 2 Cameo Characters to help them out.

<<OOC: GU, you didn't mention cameo's or supporting roles (non-hero)...I would like to once again propose myself as either a Jarvis/Alfred butler type (serving the heroes, of course) or perhaps an investigative reporter trying to get dirt on the heroes, or maybe a crime-boss (human) trying to continue his illegal activities, and being thwarted at every turn...eventually, he would have to hire super-villain mercenaries to work for him.

Let me know if there is any room for NON-super powered cast members.

Erm, so you know me IRL then? Otherwise how can you claim to know how good my RPing is?

With a post count of "3", assumptions are easily made. While you may be the next coming of Shakespeare, you are unknown and unproven on NS.

Personally, I wouldn't care, but many folks on NS use post count as a measure, and they like to read your past work...which is sorely lacking here (unless you can give him some examples...?)

Note: All Heroes or Villians are allowed at most 2 Cameo Characters to help them out.I just took the name and suit from Sentia, everything else is my own creatoin...

OK so by that rationale I would never get started as nobody wants a newbie.
How about this for example? I played that character for 3 years in Marvel Superheroes from 1996 to 1999 before moving on to playing a 5 year game of White Wolf - Werewolf and many other games. I play LRP whenever I get the chance. I am very active on those LRP boards which is why I have enough distractions during the day to be bothered with this one before now. Just because I have not posted in the forums much simply means there have been no other threds to catch my attention.
Uknown and Unproven? You seem like an elitist to me.

"Unkown" sounds like a good villain name... How about I create one of those too?

Dude, you took it wrong: I was simply offering MY take on why your character was refused by GU. I did not say it was right, wrong, or even on target...I simply gave an explanation based on MY own experiences here. I'm sure you consider yourself to be a good RPer, but here, in NationStates, you are unknown. Period. Reality. I AM NOT THE ENEMY!

Everyone else is out, simply because they are not good enough

Is that all you have to say about Posidon's Advocite? No explenation? No critisism? Only "simply because they are not good enough"? WOW. Just WOW.

At least one good thing came out of this thread for me. I now have an idea for a possible closed RP in the future.

edited because I was in a foul mood when I posted this and some content had to be removed

Look, people, i'm basing my selection on first impressions. How you described your character in the bio counted for a lot as to how i made my selection, and if you can't be arsed enough to provide an engaging read of your character's personality, tough luck, sucker. I don't need half-hearted RPers clogging up the RPing process.

Scotsnation, since you are SOOOO confident in your RPing abilities, link me to one of your RP efforts, and i'll reconsider. That goes for you too, Atlantian Outcasts.

Gawdly, i DID mention cameos. I said all RPers with at least 1 character in the IN list can add at most 2 cameo characters related to the main character.

Mesazoic, show me a sample RP of your character, and i'll reconsider.

I'll give you guys who missed out a hint. Right now, i'm accepting no more Heroes, but if you can give me a well-done Villian, i might just take you into the fray.

Final words. Whatever i do, there will ALWAYS be somebody unhappy with what i do. Fair enough, i expected that. But if you feel unhappy enough to bite me with your poisonous tongue, i say STFU to you. That's all.

The plot for this will be revealed within a few days, and the real thing will commence in a new thread. Check back for details.

Yup, but since my character was NOT accepted, I felt that I could still be involved in a "cameo" kind of way. Here are some examples of my RPing, so you can see the flavor I can bring to a role.

Okay then Gawdly, I'm gonna go one-up on your offer. If you can give me a well-done Villian before i start the thread, you'll be in. But if you are content with being a cameo, well, it's your choice.

As for you, Scotsnation.......considering you're behaving like an absolute n00b with no sense of manners, I'll rather not have you in the RP. It's more your loss than mine if you don't wanna join, and besides i can do without your character, since i have a surplus of them already.

See ya round, sucker.

You know what? Just shut up. I'm done with this flamewar with you. I have better things to do. You wanna flame me? Consider the words you use, then see yourself and see if it does not apply to you more than to me.

Thanks for the offer GU...let me consider it a bit.

Thanks for the complement and acceptance. It is kind of odd that my character ended up more detailed then others, seeing as it is the first time in about a month that I have thought about him, and it is only his second trip out of my notebook. :) All the same, I shall RP to the top of my ability. My "home"(I guess you could call it) website tends to be fairly strict on post quality, I am quickly seeing.

Scotsnations, you little n00b, shut up. I deleted that part of my post for a reason. Going around and repeating it dousn't help.

Grazhkjistan- I'm happy that you're happu LG made it in. I'm pysched! I can't wait to get started.

GU-I swear I won't let you down. My RP skills depend on who I'm playing off though. So there might be a snag due to my personal confusion of something someone else may say. Other then that I'll do my best to keep my standards up and keep LG as close to the sample as possible.

*giant happy group hug with all the peeps who made it*

Warning: If anyone with a Nation called like "Anarchy Inc." comes and tries to join, please say no to them. They may seem to have talent, but they demean every other character, and assume female heros need to be protected and babied. Just to let y'all know.

Yay! I am ready to roll. This should be interesting.

It seems we're about ready to begin. Get a few things ironed out, and ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS!!!

Ok, Atlantian Outcasts, you've got me convinced as to your RPing abilities. I haven't read through all of these threads yet though, and i don't intend to, it's too much for me to stomach :p So, you mind giving me a sample RP post on this thread? Do something like an intro of sorts, and if it's good, you're in.

right. I'll do it later tonight, when I have more time.


Oh, and call me AO. It's easier to type. ;)

EDIT: Oh, ya. I do have a villian (one that will possibly be used in my opening post later)

Name: Chronos's Advocite

Background: Chronos is the leader of the Titans, who are now (with the exceptions of Promethius, Helios, Atlas, and a handful of others) damned to Tartarus by Zeus for all eterinity. This minion's mission to to destroy all the gods have created.

Apperence: (still working on that pic)

Powers: The ability to freeze time in a small area for a short while, energy blasts from his wrist cannons.

Weaknesses: He needs to return to Chronos to be recharged frequently.

*poses proudly* I was the first to do a Sample RP. It's on page 5 I think. I rule! ^-^

Here ya go. I hope you don't mind, I used both Posiedon and Chronos.


The stormy sea rose and fell. When the waves subsided temporarily, a figure remained. His long, silver hair shook in the breeze. In his hand he held a Trident. In front of him, lay a ruined village. The fires where still burning. In front of the village, another figure stood.

“You again” said the 1st figure.

“Where are your friends? I would think a few of them would be here” said the second one.

“Right here!” shouted another voice. Fireballs and Thunder rained down upon the village destroyer. 2 more beings landed next to the 1st being.

“So, Zeus and Hades decided to back Poseidon up. No matter” said Chronos’s Advocate. The villain charged his foes, wrist cannons firing at will. The other three dodged the blasts and flipped to opposite sides of him, preparing to attack. Zeus’s advocate struck first. He fired a stream of thunderbolts at the evil villain. Although he managed to dodge that, he was soon struck down by a dual punch from Poseidon and Hades. Chronos fell over on his head, and rolled over. Standing back up, he looked at his three foes.

“I’ll be seeing you later” and with that, Chronos’s Advocate teleported off, towards another star system. One named Sol. And to a planet named Earth.....

“We have to go after them” said Poseidon.

“No. We have to stay here. The other Titan forces are amassing as we speak. Chronos won't get far on Earth...." said Zeus.

Sooo.. what do I do now?

Ok... I'm new to roleplaying, but what think you of this?

The two guards led the bespectacled man down the dimly lit hallway. Sentry guns and cameras lined the walls. The man wore a white office shirt, brown trousers and a white labcoat with a few pens in the pocket. An ID badge was clipped to this lapel. He kept his head down and tried to ignore the handcuffs cutting into his wrists.

The guards said nothing to him, steering him around endless numbers of corners and halls. They seemed to walk forever.

They finally reached their destination, a guard punched a password into the panel on the door. The man watched as his hand flew over the buttons. AA9B7E. pushing the man into the room and shutting the door behind them. Dr. Laurence Wilson, a large man, bearded and bushy-haired, wearing a labcoat and neatly pressed shirt and trousers, sat in one of the two chairs at the table, the only furniture in the room.

"Dr. Allan Fisher... Smart Title... stupid man." He said, shaking his head.

"Good to see you too, Laurence." said the bespectacled man, shaking his long, brown hair out of his eyes and looking calmly at his boss.

The guards removed the man's handcuffs and forced him into the other chair.
One produced a small Data card from a pocket and handed it to the bearded man. "He was carrying this."

Laurence took it from the guard, who joined his partner in front of the door, should Allan try to escape. He held it up in front of Allan. "What's this?" he asked.

"A Virus." Allan said, his face solid. He was a relatively good-looking man for his age. Tall and thin, with 2 weeks' worth of beard and moustache, Blue eyes that usually sparkled with a clever light, but now looked haggard and worn-out. "It'll jam your computer system and turn all the sentry guns out there against the guards."

Laurence laughed sarcastically, glaring at Allan. "Bullshit." His eyes locked onto Allan's face. "I know what you tried to pull. You tried to steal that Battle Harness you put together! That thing is going to win this company shitloads of money-"

"-Money for lives? Doesn't sound like a fair trade to me. I'm not going along with it."

"You HAVE to, Allan! This company OWNS that prototype, they own your Research Records and they own YOU. The prototype is going to China for the Demonstration, the soldier we trained will level the village with it, and the Army will buy it and make us rich!"

"I'm not going to do it. You can't make me."

"Damn it, Allan!" Laurence slammed a hand on the table. "This is Science, not one of those Comic books you always have your nose in!" He held up the card again. "Now, I assume these are the records you stole?"

"I told you. It's a virus." A small smirk crept across his face.

"Shut up, Allan." He stood up and moved to the door. The guards parted and let him pass. "I'm going to put this back into the system. Our Supervisor will be here shortly to try and knock some sense into you."
He turned to the guards. "Stand outside the door and don't let anyone except myself or Dr. Edwards in or out." They nodded and followed him out the door.

Just before the door closed, Allan saw a sentry gun outside. He smiled as the door closed. The panel on the door glowed red. He unclipped his ID badge, and opened a small slit in the laminate. He poked a finger inside and drew out another data card. He flipped it like a coin and waited. Any minute now.

After five minutes, he heard the sound of a sentry gun firing outside the door and guards crying out in pain as they hit the floor. Now was his chance.

Allan ran to the door and quickly hit AA9B7E on the pad. The panel turned green and the door opened. The guards were lying on the floor, their legs shot through the calves. He grabbed them and pushed them into the room. They'd be alright.

He bolted down the hallway as quickly as he could. He had to get down to the Testing Labs before Laurence could regain control over the Computer systems, and lock down the building...

Whining?
Count my posts in this thread.
You will find your pack of n00bs are the ones who got it to page 13.
I asked one time to be considered, once it was decided that GU was going to HIJACK someone elses thread.
Not counting this post I have three, count them three posts in this thread total.
It is not my fault that this pack of idiots crawled all over you for spots-
Whinning indeed.
I am a damned good RPer.
SO before you accuse me of whinning go back and take at look at who you are really talking to.
Sayying "please consider me" is not whinning, unless like the rest of your cast I sat around bumping this thread begging for Resi to make a post,
or begging GU to do something.
Three posts equals whinning.
Then I guess I am not up to your standard.
Thanks GU, but no thanks.

Bedou, i'm sorry, but you know i've been fucked up by Scotsnations lately, and my mood isn't all that great. So i say sorry for my behaviour towards you, and hope you will rejoin, since i've slotted your character in.

AO.......i dunno. Does Poseidon's Advocate and Chrono's Advocate HAVE to be in the same RP? Cause the situation is, i have way too many heroes, and way too few villians, so it is highly likely that Poseidon's Advocate will not make it, but Chrono's Advocate will. If you really must have both together, I will have to try a radical tactic to cut down the numbers.

Grazhkjistan, that sounds good enough.

The end was re-made. There you go.

I'm not sure what you are saying AO. Are you gonna come up with a brand new character, getting rid of Poseidon's Advocate so that only Chrono's Advocate remains, or what? Please explain clearly so i understand :s

Ok, actually read the In/Out List... Rest In Peace, Father Thompson.

So, I'm short a Cameo. Hm... Can't think of anything right now... but Give me a while.

Oh, and I've edited Kraken's Profile. It's on page 3. Let me know if anything's too over-the-top, off-the-wall or What's-that-Girl?-Timmy's-Stuck-in-the-@#$%ing-Well-again?.

Ok, the thread is here:

http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=360763

RPers are advised to look at the thread as soon as possible, reasons to be explained.

OK, here's the definitive list:

IN
(...)
Levin Bolt (Marshahnk) (h)
The Hooded Claw (Marshahnk) (h)
(...)

So are both of mine in, or do you want me to pick one of them?

Here's a last minute villian:
Name: Phobia
Age: Unknown
Gender: N/A

Bio: Nothing is known about this creature's origen or aims. In its true form, Phobia is seen as a tall, thin, black humanoid with a single, huge, bloodshot eye.

Strengths: Telepathy, shapeshifter. Phobia can asume the form of any living thing it has touched for at least two minutes. It will then strip the victim of any unusal characteristics and anything else it might need to mimic the victim in day to day life. Phobia can also heal an asumed form by swiching back and forth from his true form. Phobia has also become quite fond of looking deep into an oponent's mind, finding their greatest fear, and asuming the form of said fear. Phobia's final strength is the wide asortment of skills he has stolen from past victims.

Weaknesses: Phobia is easy to recognise as a false if you know what you're looking for. When Phobia takes on a new form, it doesn't have any physical traits not encripted in DNA (scars, dyed hair, missing limbs, ect.). And, though it can assume clothing, it can't assume weapons or jewlery. Also, Phobia's true form can't be healed like its assumed form. Any damage done to its true form will remain when he assumes a new form.

As asked for GU, here y'go.
Taken from the very first mission. Going from memory so speech may be inaccurate.

The Heroes of Detroit™ were a newly formed group containing:
Dreadnought: a student of robotics who had created a large powerful exoskeleton bot/suit capable of flight
Artemis: a goverment controlled experimental mutant
Roughouse: a tough ex-cop capable of taking huge amounts of damage but basically human
Numina: a psychic
Orca: a bloke with a lot of traits of a killer whale (I kid you not, he used the random dice roll system of character creation, it produced a lot of laughs) packing a pretty mean punch but scared of ceiling fans (it did get very silly at times)
Rebel: a humanoid alien with a face mask (think Michael Jackson) with a penchant for guns and hyper accuracy
Mr Mercury: shape shifter with excellent elemental control and regeneration doubling his hit points to 216 (old Marvel system) for appearance think Roshchach from the Watchmen, raincoar, hat and a shiny featureless face. He had never copied his real face since he was murdered and had sought revenge clawing the gang, that had murdered his brother and then him, (for getting too close to the truth) to small bloody pieces. The authorities realising they could hardly imprison this being and realising that the criminals were no gret loss to humanity they offered him the choice of working for the government and joining a new law enforcing group of heroes and mutants.

Sent to a downtown factory area where there were reports of an idividual shooting pieces out of the Ford factory. HoD being partly sponsored by Ford (supplied their vehicles) they were charging down the main street, Artemis, Roughouse, Numina, Rebel and Mr Mercury in a lone SUV when it came under fire from a roof of a walkway that ran over the road.
The bullets chewed into the road before the vehicle and Roughouse slammed on the brakes shouting "Take cover!"
"Cover"? thought Mr Mercury? "In a flimsy vehicle?"
He quickly shape shifts and fills the cabin of the vehicle covering the roof, and the windshield with an inch thich layer of mercury drawing the elements close together changing into a hard solid shield protecting all the occupants from the fire raining down from above.
"Anybody get a good look?" Artemis asked.
Numina concentrated and said: "Large figure, centre of bridge"
"OK we break in different directions, find cover then attack. Distraction please Rebel?" ordered Artemis
Rebel immediately responded by putting a gun out of the window and without line of sight let rip with a dozen or so rounds. This was enough to distract the assailant and while the rest ran Mr Mercury stayed to draw attention by forcing the vehicle onwards towards the bridge.
As the figure continued to pour more rounds into the now protected vehicle Mr Mercury absorbed many hit points of damage.
This gave the rest time to make it to the car park beside the factory and get a closer look at the villain.
The figure appeared to be made of guns. As they watched his arms morphed from assault rifles into gattling guns then realising they were not affecting the SUV (but badly damaging Mr Mercury) they both melded together and formed what looked like a giant cannon.
Numina contacted Mr Mercury by telepathy and not a moment too soon: "Get out! Get out NOW!"
Senseing the impending doom and low on hit points Mr Mercury scrambled his thought for an escape plan. It was then that he hit upon a new idea of his abiliieis he had never thought of before... Elemental control... He was often a liquid or solid form but he had never tried for a gas state before.
Pulling his thoughts together, the ghost of Jame Mulholland that had inhabited this volume of mercury since being murdered in it began to disappear. Sensing around he heard a small click and a loud bang as a rocket flew towards the vehicle he now eveloped with a cloud of gas.
In panic he took an action his instincts told him to. Pointing every atom of his gas in one direction he was gone the moment before the SUV exploded showering the srteet with fire, metal and glass.
The other heroes battled with the villain who laughed manically as he shouted "You'll never defeat me. No-one can defeat GunMan" (classic)
Mr Mercury was still flying while gathering his thoughts and regenerating his lost hit points. He had never felt so free. Avoiding buildings and changing direction to striaght up he flew through the clouds feeling their chill pass through him until he was above them and bathed in sunshine and blue sky...
"Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad after all. Being dead had another advantage now to chalk up against the drawbacks. Sure sex was probably going to be tricky and kids were right out of the window barring cloning, why oh why had he never donated to a sperm bank? But hell, there was always a blue sky above the clouds, literally.
Numina snapped him out of it by contacting him telepathically.
"Mr Mercury if you are still alive we would so appreciate your assistance, Dreadnought has taken a few massive hits and we need this guy put down."
With a smile he solidified and formed his characteristic self again and performed a rather neat swan dive back into the clouds. Free falling out of the clouds he caught his barings and formed into a glider until he spotted his target. Gunman.
Going gaseous again and pointing at Gunman he took himself up to maximum speed (ooc: never figured it out, once read gas = 150 metres per second or is that sound? or both? Brownian motion anyway) going solid again at that speed and for comic value making a very large anvil with ACME on the side he shouted "Stitch this!" before making contact with Gunman and tearing up the tarmac of the parking lot in a 150 metre long impact crater.
Forming up into humanoid form once again his arms becoming large sharp blades (ooc: think Terminator 2) and about to pummel the victim with mutliple sharp stabs of death he stops as he notices the man made of guns was no longer made of guns but an unconcious young man in ripped clothes surrounded by many melted ripped and unrecognisable chocolate and candy wrappers.....
Back at base with a new hat and coat on he stepped down the stairs into the holding cells to find out what had been discovered of this individual.
Artemis was holding a report which she was sending in to the groups contact in the city police. "He is a mutant that converts sugar into weaponry and armour. Knocking him unconcious, and it is a miracle he didn't die from that impact, you too Mr Mercury, reverted him back to human again. Removing the extra candy and chocolate he had on him prevents him from changing again and we can have him transported to the proper authorities. He..."
But Artemis was cut off as Gunman was awake and sitting in his cell laughing very loudly. He gave a sarcastic little smile and a wave before being surrounded by a bright blue light. When the light died away he was no longer in the cell but a louder and more sinister laugh could be heard...
"Looks like Gunman was only a first test of our abilities" surmised Roughhouse.

Over the next few years, Mr Mercury would use his shape shifting abilities to save lives many times.
Numina while shot and lying in front of a building with snipers on the roof Mr Mercury formed a protective box then formed legs and walked away with his casualty in safety inside.
Military pilots in a RPG stricken helicopter about to explode saw Mr Mercury appear inside and shout "JUMP!". When they did Mr Mercury fomed a helter skelter style chute to the ground for the pilots and a larger hopper to funnel the falling burning wreckage away from civilians on a busy city street.
Only ever reduced to 2 hit points left once, the nearest he ever came to death. Taking rocket blasts to the chest and continuing to walk towards a minion saying "Is that the best you've got pal?". Going submarine and attacking an underwater villain's base. And ruining Rebel's moonlit rooftop silhouette poses was always worth a laugh.

Erm, okay, Scotsnations. Mr. Mercury looks just fine. Just try to avoid the "hit points" thingy, and brush up on spelling and grammar a little. Otherwise, you may sign in Mr. Mercury in the RP thread now.

One last thing. This is the last chance i'm giving you, SN, so maintain a good behaviour and don't start any more n00bishness flaming, cause i still reserve the right to drop your character in a plot hole.

Somebody had to say it, after all i'm in charge of this, so i have to be official-sounding :p

Ummm, I'm not a part of this, but it is interesting to note that the rp thread is filling up with ooc chatter, while the ooc thread is siting here dormant.

Name: Shard
Gender: F
Age: 30
Height: 6'
Appearance: Crystalline skin, long dark hair in a high pony tail. Black bikini.
Powers:
Crystalline shape shifting. Shard can adjust her body to any shape she chooses. Mostly stabbing weapons.
Lightning reflexes. Combined with lightning reflexes she can morph around an attack or bullet. She can get round slower defences and skewer a victim.
Heat resistance. Being made of a crystalline structure she is unaffected by extreme heat or cold.
Background: Shard was a chemist working on an experiment when her laboratory was attacked. Her experiment was smashed and she was covered in chemicals and taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead.
She was stored in a morgue refrigerator where the cold reacted with the chemicals and altered her DNA and brain chemistry creating a new personality, Shard.
Her thirst for death is only matched by her desire to strike fear into the hearts and minds of the people. She starts out by killing a mob boss and taking over the hench-men and carrying out many bank robberies and jewellery raids to fund her living expenses, a new mansion with grounds heavily trapped, a modified motorcycle to aid speedy raids and getaways and numerous other toys and gadgets.

We join Shard as she is in the middle of a bank raid.
“Wh.. wh.. what are you going to do to me?” stammered the sweating bank manager with a drop of blood running down the back of his neck as he was lead to the vault.
“Well,” replied Shard holding him by the arm with one hand leading him to her prize her other arm a long sharp rapier like spike behind his neck, “depends on just how much cash you have in this little vault of yours”
When they get to the vault door she pushes him toward the electronic keypad and as he turns around to look at her she lashes out with her other arm which morphs into another rapier like blade and slices his cheek. “Get on with it!” she barks as blood begins to pour from the fresh wound.
She smiles as he starts bubbling like a child and fumbles at the keypad.

With a beep and a chunk noise the door opens electronically. No longer of any use she runs a blade into the bank manager who grunts and stares in shock at the blade running through him. She does not stop there but makes the blade saw like and begins sawing up though his abdomen towards his heart all the while smiling at the screams and blood poring from his tortured visage.

Her lackeys waste no time, they run past the grisly scene and begin filling sacks with the bundles of cash in the vault. She re-forms her arm and the body slips off it to the floor.

Shard casually walks out of the bank toward her bike licking the blood from her arm…

Ok, Shard looks good, she's in.

Hey, GU, I just had an interesting thought... Could I use Inferno as a villain? If not, fine... but I may need some help coming up with someone who can be a good opponent/rival/whatever to Kraken... What would look good fighting a Nerd with 6 mechanical Tentacles on his back? Hmmm...

Inferno is definitely out, but as for your second question, i'm thinking an electrical version of your Inferno would sound cool. Maybe you can call him Electro :p Or perhaps a more original name than that.

You got yourself a deal.

Name: Lin "Livewire" Sukohara
Gender: F
Age: 21
Height: 5'8
Weight: Just TRY to get that out of her!
Appearance: (Human) Purple hair, Green eyes, Average Build
Attire: Studded Black leather coat, White Tanktop, Black Jeans, Combat boots. (Livewire form) 5'8 woman made of white lightning (patches of green lightning for eyes), wearing above clothes

Strengths:
Bilingual (English and Japanese), Martial Artist (Jeet Kune Do), Able to control electricity and create magnetic fields
Lightning reflexes: Pretty self-explanitory.
Electrical Immunity: Livewire is completely immune to Electrical attacks.
Weaknesses:
Attacks can be blocked by insulators (rubber and the like), cannot magnetically control substances that can't be magnetically attracted. (such as, unless I'm VERY sorely mistaken, Lead), while she is fast, she can't dodge bullets very well. In livewire form, can be harmed by water.

Background:
Lin Sukohara's mother was hit by lightning when she was pregnant with her. When she was 16, her powers manifested when she fatally electrocuted her longtime boyfriend. Horrified, Lin ran away from home. At first, all she could do was throw lightning, but when she was, in a bizarre twist of fate, hit by lightning herself, her powers changed. She could now transform herself into "Living Lightning", possessed faster reflexes, could, at will, project magnetic fields, and her lightning was now even stronger.

Special Attacks

Lightning Arm: Lin coats her arms in electricity and throws a punch combo (similar to Billy's Dragon Arm)
Lightning Leg: Lin coats her legs in electricity and throws a kick combo (again, similar to Billy's Dragon Leg)
EMP: (Livewire Form) Livewire focuses all her energy into an explosion of magnetic energy.
Thunderstrike: (Livewire) Livewire leaps into the air, transforms into a bolt of lightning and hits her opponent.
Circuit Breaker: (either form) Lin grabs her opponent and sends 2000 volts through 'em.

There she is. Again, let me know if anything's too over-the-top, off-the-wall or What's-that-girl?-Timmy's-stuck-in-that-goddamn-well-again?-Screw-it-just-let-him-die.

Ok, she's in.

I'm noticing a trend here.....why are all the villains i'm getting all female? Is it to complement Zell's maleness? lol.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I would suggest we get some sort of order of postage. I have seen a lot of crazy stuff being said because somebody didn't read anothers post, or give the other person time to react.

I get the feeling I am the only one in the GMT zone?

Name: Jimmy “Stix” McFarland
Appearance: 5’10”, 120 lbs. 15 years old. Very wiry(hence the nickname), long, unkempt brown hair, brown/green eyes. Usually dressed in grey T-shirt, worn green cargo pants with duct tape lining the ankles, and sometimes a camo BDU jacket. Cautious and reserved at first, he takes a while to completely open up, and even then he becomes sarcastic first. His complete confidence takes a heck of a lot of time to gain.
Weapons: The ubiquitous gangsta switch blade, sometimes a Taurus compact 9mm pistol, but really prefers hand to hand fighting.
Powers: Super strength and agility, but his real power is in his reaction time. He can react to things as if they were moving at -60x. In other words, his reflexes can swat pistol caliber bullets out of the air, and let him think up long fight combos while other people are still moving with there reflexes. Bear in mind though, that his body can only move slightly faster then a normal person though. (In other words, it is very similar to Spiderman’s “spider sense”). He also has almost unbreakable bones, and the ability to endure a lot of hits without taking a lot of damage.
History: Was born in a slum. He never knew his father, and his mother died when he was eight. He grew up with a gang of other kids, who soon learned to exploit his talents in the pick pocketing field. That is where he learned to fight, street style. He tends to employ a freestyle mixture of ten or more different martial arts, making up his own combos and katas as he goes. He also likes to fight with his knife, which is small, and he wields it like a surgical instument, making small precise cuts where they will hurt the most. He doesn’t really like to hurt people though, and has only been reduced to muggings and actually beating people to get what he needs to live recently, because of his breaking with the gang. He broke with his gang over one of the gangs acquaintances trying out a special experiment on him, first giving him an experimental serum to incredibly boost resilience, strength, and agility, and then lacing his bones with a titanium alloy. The experiment went well, before the Pottsylvainian Gov. caught up with the scientist, putting him behind bars for a long time. Jimmy took the experiment in stride, but realized that his former “friends” were only out to exploit him. And now he works as a freelancer, mostly just doing what he needs to survive, which includes staying out of his former gangs way.

How old are you?
Have you ever played a real RPG with rules and stuff?

In my opinion since we're not using any rules or dice rolls it is pointless going up against someone elses villain/hero.

18. And I have played a little D&D, but mostly message board stuff.

And I have found that the one trick/rule to message board RPing is everybody plays their character. Don't do anything the character can't or wouldn't do, and everything tends to be fair. Character limitations are handled quite well by our esteemed GM. So, if you want to fight another character, get hit when you would be hit, do only moves that your character would be able to do. With your character, I can see how it would be kind of hard, as nothing really hurts you. But, you do whatever.

Hero Name: The Guardian
Real name: John Drake
Age: Forty-Five
Sex: Male
Relation ship status: Taken
Powers: The Guardian is a skilled and powerful mage who commands many combat spells and techniques as well as other more basic spells and abilities
SKills: The Guardian, as well as a skilled mage has mastered many forms of unarmed combat as well as prodigious skill with the sword, knife and quarter staff.
Equipment/costume: Wears a dark cloak and a dark gray jumpsuit as well as a mask/helmet that provides limited sensory enhancements (Millimeter wave, IR, low light, selectively enhanced hearing, variable 3x zoom, Battery powered 30 hours standby, 4 hours continous use) carries a sword strapped across his back and occasionally carries a quarter or bladed staff. other equipment includes: Lockpicks, audio bugs, gas grenades, smoke grenades, flash bang grenades and the like.
Weaknesses: While having recieved much training at the hands of his Mentor, one of the last immortals, The Guardian still cannot command the full potential of his magical might. unless under the protection of a protective spell he is still vulnerable to normal damage. using his magical abilites requires both strength and concentration except for a few simple spells and a small number of techniques he has mastered completely. He has also vowed never to kill a normal human, he can still wreak some serious kick but on supervillians and the like, just not their dumpy henchmen. he is also wanted by the government under a different name, the government however does not know he is The Guardian or what he looks like.
Background. Robert Carson was a normal boy until he was one of the victimsof a terrorist operation that killed his last remaining relative (His mother) snapping, he revealed a power unknown even to him and killed the terrorists in a single burst of magic that he has never been able to, let alone even attempted to duplicate. afterwards he escaped government custody with the help of an enigmatic billionaire immortal who gave him a new identity and all the training for both his magical and non magical skills. he spent his early heroing days stopping terrorist attacks and during the course of this work fell in love with Kylie Wellings, a girl about his age whom he had just saved. later he saved the world from a genetically enhanced madman nearly losing his life his love and everything he held dear. after that, he never fought crime again. until one day, a young reporter uncovered parts of the guardians secret and pieced together his identity. The reporter succeded in shaming John Drake into once again donning his cloak and wielding his sword for good nearly twenty years after his endgame saving the world from which he still carries emotional and physical scars.

Guys I think this signup died like a month or two ago

No see cos by posting to it you keep it alive :P
Besides it's good to talk OOC with the people you are playing with.
Personally I find it amazing that it is a rule-less system. I am not surprised people get angry when their "uber hard" character gets taken down and people disagree about what would happen in a fight. If there were some rules then you could roll a dice to settle the dispute, rules also provide more balanced characters/villains. It might be worth taking a look at the old Marvel RPG (not the new one with cards, it sucks) GM decides how many character point you get to spend on your skills which means you don't go overloading them and ending up with all the skills being pants.
Just a thought.
Now... back to see how the Jimmy/Tala fight got on.... the gloves were well and truly off there and a perfect example of what I'm talking about.

Ah, but you see, when everybody gets it figured out, things go smoothly, and more exciting-ly(ooh, new word alert. :D ). My favorite example, and where I hang out most of the time:
www.eopoint.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi
Me, I like this system a lot more then tabletop stuff, except for getting to hang out with friends in person.

You mean you don't like table top RP that has a system?

Meh, it's all right. I just like message board RPing better. But that is just opinion.

on a related note, GURPS Supers and the Champions series of RPG rule books (I think thats it) are both excelent sources for heroic RPGs. i don't know if champions is still around though, its pretty old, gurps is however.
