One of the reasons I went with a samurai. Everyone knows what a samurai looks like. :D

Create a Hero/Villain RPG SEASON I

Screen Name: Spider-Man9x17

Character you have created: LiveWire
Alias: Robbie “RJ” Maverick, Jr.

Speech Color:
RJ: Blue
LiveWire: Fixedsys Blue

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality(Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations): RJ is a headstrong 20 something fresh out of college who has his whole life ahead of him and dreams of making it big in the world. He is able to stay grounded in reality however due to his strong sense of loyalty to those he loves and respects and his desire to make a difference n the world, which he plans on doing by becoming a teacher to educate and guide tomorrow’s leaders.

Origin Info/Details: RJ’s great grandfather was a brilliant scientist born of a Union soldier and a southern mistress he took during the Civil War. A man well ahead of his time, he discovered medicines and serums he dare not speak of, items that turned back human aging, enhanced natural abilities, increased brain functions, etc. He tested many of these items on himself. At the age of 54, he was enlisted by a covert United States government organization during WWI to begin work in a new scientific field that would study new subatomic particles that had been discovered to be the very essence and building blocks of all things on Earth, well before the Manhattan Project was ever fathomed. It was believed these particles, if harnesses and unleashed, could create and be used for a great source of power. Dr. Maverick was quickly able to unlock the secrets and powers of these particles, unknowingly bombarding himself with unknown amounts of atomic energies. A man of vast insight, he knew these energies would no doubt be used for destructive purposes, and his worst fears were confirmed when soldiers stormed his house in the middle of the night, having found out the doctor was planning on destroying all his research. Nothing is known about what happened in the house that night, only that the soldiers were found the next morning, bodies half disintegrated and appearing to be burnt from the inside out. Dr. Maverick was never seen again, his wife and children learning about the news while out of town attending to a sick relative. The research, thought lost, would secretly live on mordantly in the genetics of the good doctor’s decedents, to be unlocked and unleashed at an unknown time in the future.

Hero Type: (Select one)
Energy:(What kind of energy? Ex. Electricity, Fire) RJ has the ability to manipulate the subatomic particles of any object or living creature (protons, neutrons, and electrons) which in turn gives him access to the vast energy fields of the Earth. He can use these abilities to levitate objects, break the down and destroy them at the cellular level, etc, but his usage of choice is expelling the energy as a concussive blast, usually from his hands. Depending on the level of concentration, he blast range from small sparks to bolts of lighting to blinding concussive columns and every thin in between. These powers are still emerging, so not only is the extent not know but RJ still has minimal control over them.


Power Level (Select one below):

RJ has the capability of being a Level 4, but right now, while still learning his powers, he is somewhere between a Level 2 and Level 3.

Powers (Be Specific): Subatomic manipulation of cellular structure focusing on protons, neutrons, and electrons. He can use these abilities to sync up with the object, moving it, levitating it, breaking it down sub atomically into pure energy and, in the case of living animals, manipulating actions. He can also tap into the various energy fields of the Earth and channel these energies through his body and expel them in concussive energy blasts

Attributes (Select one at each category:
Strength Level: Normal human de-powered. At current focus and understanding of powers he is able to list large vehicles, albeit with some great strain. How much he is really able to lift is unknown

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Has the ability to move at 100 MPH, but only by breaking down his form and moving along the energy fields of Earth. He has little to n experience with this yet, so does not push himself for fear of being unable to control it or pull himself back together.

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: 5 hours. He can constantly feed off various energy fields, something which seems automatic for his body, like breathing.

Agility: Normal human de-powered, 20x with full control/concentration

Intelligence: Above Average, though well below genius.

Fighting Skill: Untrained

Resources: Extreme, though he’s is largely unaware of many of them. As he learns more about his great grandfather and his heritage, he will uncover more and more resources.

Weaknesses (If your stats chosen are deemed powerful enough by a Game Master with no weakness, the character will fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters. Even with a weakness, a Game Master may rule it as a Level 3 or 4 character): RJ is extremely limited by his lack of focus and control over these powers, and until he gains better understanding and control, he can be a danger to himself and all around him. Energy dampners may also inhibit him, but the more control he gains, the harder it will be to stifle him.

Supporting Characters(Does your character have a significant other? A mother? Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?): Both parents who he visits often and are always able bestow upon him nuggets of wisdom at just the right time, his fiancé Keira Turner, a childhood friend who is the love of his life and keeps him grounded and true to himself, and a shadowed observer, who RJ will come to depend on to control his powers and become a hero to the a world in need.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. Some of the character is based off of me, so it will be fun to write myself as a hero living in this world

2. He is limited only by himself and his willpower/focus. This will be an interesting element to explore.

3. He has the chance to be one of the most powerful heroes ever. Can he bring his power under control to save a world in need?

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: I can bring great characterization and compelling stories. I can also bring some fun, lighthearted moments to the game as well.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: At least once, more depending on how much time permits.

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards: Yes

Sample Origin Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):

I will have a sample post up sometime tomorrow night. I ran out of time tonight and need to be getting to bed for work tomorrow. I just wanted to submit this now for some preapproval and any feedback that may be needed.

Also...Then, akin to the Galactus arc in the One Universe, the unnamed councilmen of STRIKE should be at the very least NPC'd or even PC'd. This won't be important right away, but perhaps one of the mods, or if someone is willing to create a character to be part of the STRIKE council and lead it to that arc?

Thoughts?Aside from Eagle Scout, who I assume is a field opperative for STRIKE and not one of the heads, are there any other STRIKE personel (forgive me if I've missed anyone who is)? Because I have an idea for a very high ranking official who could be a Lex Luthor-type character for the RPG as a whole, while also being one of Survivor's major rogues on the rare occasions that he wants to personally get the job done himself.

At this point, he'd just be an NPC, but as a character, he's virtually a blank slate of a villain for anyone to work with (still on the drawing board), so if anyone's interested in hearing more, PM me. :)

Could you do Electron? I've always wondered what he'd look like in Video game form.
New copy of newspaper Haven Chronicles is out, and it's a story on Electron, so if that's how Syn's character (Or anyone else) wants to first find out about Electron, then he could just pick up the newspaper. I won't be able to post from 4, half 4 tonight because I'll be getting ready for my holiday.

Seeing as how The Phantom is kind of in the same vein as Supernatural (the show) and Ghost Rider, he does travel across country, slaying supernatural/magic creatures. He has very few recurring villains. So here's my roster:

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u118/EBJ05/MicroCast.jpg
(From left to right): Christopher Jennings, The Phantom, The Magician, an Elf (to be named later), a Gremlin, an Imp, and an Ogre.

The Magician and the Elf are the only recurring villains.

I had a thought the other day concerning this.

In the One Universe RPG, Johnny Blaze is granted Galactus as a third character when the rule is typically two characters only. This allows the arc to flow more smoothly and so that Galactus gets one charactization.

I think it would be more important here, because if we all NPC one of the major council heads, his character could be seriously warped.

Would anyone have a problem at all with one of the mods(I'd be willing to do it if it was no problem) taking up a major player in STRIKE to organize an arc that encompasses everyone? Like mentioned before, trying to get everyone to join STRIKE itself or something of that sort. I have been thinking of certain ideas...

What do you guys think?

Cyrusbales
05-26-2007, 04:12 PM
it's a decent idea, obviously only certain characters would be involved in the recruitment drive etc, but I like the sound of it :)

I like the way each person is taking up a different element of the comic book-esque world. We have our slightly humourous ones, and action ones and mystery etc :)

I'd like to hope I come across like the Vertigo comic character of our CAH universe. lol, I'll post a second post shortly, but I'd like to say I'm enjoying everything I'm seeing so far from people! I like that we are able to take things slow and let them work themselves out etc, so nice stuff! Looking forward to reading more about "Survivor" Spikex1, I like mystery etc :)

Also, I welcome constructive criticism if anyone has any:)

From what I've been reading lately, it's reminding me of ultimate X-men(which i like a lot) and especially reminding me of "A most dangerous game" arc(which is one of my fav's, longshot is awesome), particularly the bit where they roll up aty the airport and then meet the woman with crap loadsa arms! Your villains seem pretty colourful from the off, and X-men always has pretty cool villains! :)

Could have me, Cyrus, or Johnny do it as mods, though I personally would like to do it. (You all will let me do it, yes?)

Create a Hero/Villain RPG SEASON I

Screen Name: Spider-Man9x17

Character you have created: LiveWire
Alias: Robbie “RJ” Maverick, Jr.

Speech Color:
RJ: Blue
LiveWire: Fixedsys Blue

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality(Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations): RJ is a headstrong 20 something fresh out of college who has his whole life ahead of him and dreams of making it big in the world. He is able to stay grounded in reality however due to his strong sense of loyalty to those he loves and respects and his desire to make a difference n the world, which he plans on doing by becoming a teacher to educate and guide tomorrow’s leaders.

Origin Info/Details: RJ’s great grandfather was a brilliant scientist born of a Union soldier and a southern mistress he took during the Civil War. A man well ahead of his time, he discovered medicines and serums he dare not speak of, items that turned back human aging, enhanced natural abilities, increased brain functions, etc. He tested many of these items on himself. At the age of 54, he was enlisted by a covert United States government organization during WWI to begin work in a new scientific field that would study new subatomic particles that had been discovered to be the very essence and building blocks of all things on Earth, well before the Manhattan Project was ever fathomed. It was believed these particles, if harnesses and unleashed, could create and be used for a great source of power. Dr. Maverick was quickly able to unlock the secrets and powers of these particles, unknowingly bombarding himself with unknown amounts of atomic energies.

Sample Origin Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):




“Now, the chemical reaction we’ll witness is due to two unstable elements ‘desire’ to be balanced and have a full outer shell blahblahblah…”

Robbie “RJ” Maverick tuned the professor out, focusing instead on the beautiful, late April day outside. A week to go to graduation, he could care less about protrons or electrodes or whatever the hell the monotone lecturer was droning on about. He had worked hard enough to earn his ‘A’ in this God foraken course. What the hell did this have to do with teaching elementary kids anyway? He could hardly understand what was going on. How could a 10 year old?

“Now, the neutrons offer no electrical charge, but are important to…”

“Neutron…” RJ mumbled to himself, spinning his pencil around on the table, ignoring the scowls of the teacher’s pet sitting beside him.

One more week. Then, he could concentrate on finding a real job, getting his own place, setting a wedding date. That was going to be his graduation present to Keira. She had gotten the ring for Christmas, it was only fitting the celebrate a milestone like graduation by planning for another milestone.

“Each will have 8 electrons in blahblahblah…”

“Can’t concentrate on not concentrating,” he thought, picking the pencil up and spinning it in his fingers. He started bouncing it on his desk, the eraser making a small thud each time it hot the table top. He watched the pencil go up and down, up and down, up and down, throwing all his attention into the menial task until…

…the pencil was gone. In an instant, no trace left behind. A small puft of heat blew over RJ’s hand, the only indication something had been there. He tried to hide his surprise, pretending to place the now missing pencil back in his bag so nobody would think anything was amiss.

The most confusing aspect was, that at the last moment, in the seconds before his pencil pulled a Bermuda Triangle, he felt something spark inside him, felt as though he could almost see the very essence of the writing instrument.

“So now, we will pour the…”

“That’s it,” he told himself, leaning back in his chair. “Crazy woman put me to sleep. I was dreaming…I think.”

I proposed that I take up a second character, one of the major Council Members of STRIKE, to help the major season arc to flow more smoothly, similar to how Johnny Blaze is playing Norman Osborn, Silver Surfer, and Galactus(the third character being one over the normal limit) in the One Universe RPG. With a single person guiding that character, its smoother and flows easier. I'm gathering opnions at this point, however, I may post an app soon for one, and will want both Cryus and Blaze to approve me because of breaking the one character limit.

Does that make any sense at all? I'm tired and I don't know.

No, that's just one of the many rumors that are out there about them. They were needlessly spread by the Tiggers servant, Roo, to build up their image.
The Tiggers didn't need any help though as their image was already one of divine fear and power, but it was too late. The rumors had already spread out into the world.
Displeased with Roo's actions, the Tiggers punished him by sending him to stay with Rabbit for a thousand years.

I think we should take a page out of the City of Heroes book in this aspect:

I think that Lost Haven should be separated into seperate, smaller sub-sections. Anyone who has played COH knows what I'm talking about. That way, we can have sections for supernatural heroes and sections for street level heroes...etc etc. Of course, no one would be forced to stay in their section, but it would make more sense. Otherwise, it'd be like the Punisher running around Metropolis...it just doesn't fit.

We can't have an entire city that's like Manhattan, or Gotham, or Hell's Kitchen, or Metropolis. It really has to encompass every style and type of hero.

I get the argument, but I just think it's not needed.
As the city of Lost Haven begins to get developed, sections will start to get fleshed out that focus on certain aspects and such.

Lost Haven should be treated as any major city such as New York or Tokyo. It should be a city that includes people from all walks of life and both ends of the spectrum. But the heroes shouldn't be regulated to certain spots specific to their class.

05-27-2007, 03:06 PM
I bring you the app that has been discussed as of late. If no one else has any objections...

Create a Hero/Villain RPG SEASON I

Screen Name: ElectroFlare

Character you have created: Ramon Morales
Alias: Council Member of STRIKE, Enforcement Department

Speech Color: Bold Black

Character Alignment: Hero/Villain/Walking the Line

Identity: Secret/Known

Character Personality (Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations): Ramon is head of the Enforcement Department of STRIKE, a department that is a second option to Recruitment. If Recruitment fails to persuade a meta-human to join STRIKE, Enforcement members attempt to force the subject by brain-washing or hypnosis. This department is currently under scrutiny and is considered being eliminated.

Ramon does not agree that the department should be eliminated; in fact, he believes it must be increased. The powers and abilities of metas put a fear in his heart that he will never admit. To ease this, he puts massive amounts of energy into finding out weaknesses, strengths, morals, and beliefs of metas. He will not hesitate to use a man’s beliefs against them. He also does not make empty threats. A promise he makes, he keeps.

He does not view the metas as freaks, merely as a change. Like all humans, he does not like change. There is a system in order, and when things break the system, anarchy arrives. This is something he is striving to prevent.

Origin Info/Details: Ramon Morales is a former US military fighter. He held the rank of Sergeant. His time in the service harden his mind and body to preserve the system. At one time he saw a man do something incredible. A man, enemy, he had shot through the head fell. This man then stood up, cracked his knuckles, and proceeded to ruthlessly murder all those in his platoon. Ramon escaped.

Shortly afterwards, STRIKE recognized this as an opportunity and recruited him, promising him a chance to get back at the meta who had murdered his platoon, his family of brothers. Ramon jumped at the chance, and quickly rose to top position of the Enforcement department by proving his worth and intelligence. Though metas were still few at that point, he had successfully recruited those the Recruitment department had not.

Or made them disappear.

Power Level (Select one below):

1. Street Level (Ex. Punisher, Daredevil)
By attributes chosen, Level 3 restrictions apply

NOTE: Having only one or two powers does not automatically make a character a level 2. The levels reflect how powerful the powers themselves are, not only the variety. A level 3 may be more powerful then a level 4. These levels serve to show where your powerful hero operates, as heroes this powerful may be cosmic wonderers or Earth-bound. Also, Game Masters will be wary of approving level 3 or 4 characters. An extremely well-thought out and great sample post will be needed to be approved for a high level character. Your post should be as powerful as your character.


Powers (Be Specific): Ramon Morales has no powers exceeding human capability. He is in top physical shape and a hardened fighter. He is well trained and was the #1 fighter in the army his platoon. Being a member of STRIKE gives him vast resources to information and technology.

Attributes (Select one at each category:
Strength Level: Normal Human

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Normal Human

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: Normal Human

Agility: Normal Human

Intelligence: Average, yet resourceful

Fighting Skill: Mastered

Resources: Extreme

NOTE: Even if all attributes chosen are Normal human when Super-Genius, Mastered, and Extreme are chosen for the final three attributes, this player is a level 3 or 4 character, such as Batman.


Weaknesses: Ramon has all the weaknesses of the average person. He has no family left alive. All of his time is devoted to changing STRIKE’s purpose to eliminating all metas, instead of the organization and cataloging and recruitment of metas. His major weakness is failure, something that he does not accept. If he fails, he will ever break down emotionally, or continue trying despite his inability to succeed.]

Supporting Characters (Does your character have a significant other? A mother? Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?): Stacy, his apprentice. She is in training to become a major officer in the Enforcement department, however at times she has trouble following through on the ideals of it. She is torn between eliminating metas, and giving them a chance.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. To help the arc flow more smoothly.

2. He speaks Spanish. I get to make fun of Superferret in Spanish.

3. It’s a chance to better explain STRIKE

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: A complete arc and some interesting conflicts. This is another sentence, though it doesn’t explain what I think I can bring to the rpg.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As many as possible.

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards: Yes.

Sample Origin Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):

Night. Darkness. Perfect time for a sharp shooter like me. I could see my target perfectly through my night vision goggles, and he wasn’t going to get away from me. I motioned to my team, telling them to split up and surround the target.

I could see them moving in the surrounding brush. As planned, the target’s attention was drawn in several directions at once, and confused him. I waited until I could see his eyes.

My rifle fired nearly silently, and the target fell.

My team stood from the brush and approached the fallen target. I received a thumbs up from my #2 officer. Then it happened.

The man I had just killed stood. He shook his head and cracked his knuckles. He then laughed at my men backing away in fear.

What happened next I take to my grave. My men, those men, were brutally murdered. Not killed or executed like a true military personnel would do, but murdered. I wasn’t found because the man was arrogant and left without checking for snipers.

I was discharged because the military believed my emotional state put me in shape that was no use to them. The system rejected me.

However, STRIKE saw opportunity where the military saw weakness.

“Now they will die.” I smiled at the screens that monitored meta activity.

No....although I had to go to the bathroom, and I tried putting it off so I couldn't truly enjoy it until I went.

So I missed maybe a minute of the movie.

Dang, depending on the minute, you may have missed important plot details, considering how jam packed they made it. I'll talk to you more about it tomorrow.

I didn't find the plot hard to follow at all. Potc 1 is still my favorite, followed by 3, and with 2 in last place. I detested number 2.

Are any heroes interested in first contact with my character? No fightin just an intro because I'm assuming most people's characters thinks they are the only ones who's "special". I’ll let you know the idea for how they know about each others power but don’t want to give away plotline in forum.

Create a Hero/Villain RPG SEASON I

Screen Name: Charlie No-One

Character you have created: Milo Evers
Alias: Nereus

Speech Color: Verdana, Bold, Aqua


Character Alignment: Anti-Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality (Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations): Milo almost has two different personalities. As Milo he is quiet and shy and only open to his friends or when he thinks he is alone. He is a workaholic with what ever he dedicates himself to. He fights for what he believes in, abandoning his quiet outlook if his passions are threatened. As Nereus, he is a whole different person. He is confident, full of self-esteem, cocky, and uncontrollable. He thinks he is unbeatable in this form. Keep in mind that he isn’t mentally unstable, he just acts differently in costume because he doesn’t think anyone will recognize him. Water pollution upsets him greatly. He considers this a form of murder. He feels more at home in the water than on land. As Nereus is his very blunt and sees nothing wrong with insulting people.

Origin Info/Details: Milo Evers was a marine biologist. He was fascinated with water and its inhabitants ever since birth. His father and mother, Logan and Kily Evers were archeologists. They used to tell Milo stories of all the places they have been to and what they have recovered. His favorite parts of these stories though were the legends. Many of them took place in Greece and the ancient mythology perked Milo’s interest. This was until they told him about Atlantis. They had discovered the LostCity in uncharted waters not far from Greece. They told him that he was to never reveal the secret because only bad could come out of a mass discovery like this. Power would be abused by people who were only in it for themselves. The next day they were killed in a car accident. Milo was taken to live with his grandparents.

Years later, Milo got a degree in marine biology. Even though he was doing what he loved, he still felt like he wasn’t doing something to change the world. His parents always told him that everyone was capable of leaving their mark on history; you just had to do what your heart told you to do. He didn’t feel like his was doing the right thing. So using his parents’ maps, Milo set out to look for the Lost City of Atlantis.

As he approached the “uncharted waters”, Milo saw a huge oil freighter traveling over the area. He was shocked because he thought these parts were undiscovered with the exception of his parents. Even worse, thick oozing oil was spilling out the back of the ship. Milo quickly told his crew to speed up towards the ship. As soon as he was close enough, Milo used the radio to signal the opposing crew. They said they did not know how to stop the flow and that they needed help. Milo quickly boarded the other ship, trying fast to find a solution to stop the oil from killing the sea life. He was greeted by the captain, a gun in hand. He explained that he couldn’t let this accident get out to the rest of the world for fear of losing his job or worse and Milo was threatening that. Without hesitation, the captain shot Milo. Falling back into the murky water, he was coated with the black oil. His ship left with the oil freighter, an obvious sign that something beyond a simple expedition was taking place.

The oil sunk Milo down into the depths of the ocean. Dazed, he could see the glimmer of a city below him. He could feel its warmth and solitude. Then he remembered the legend of Atlantis. These waters were said to be mystic. They had unsaid powers. The warmth inside of him grew larger. He felt the place where the bullet had hit him. There was no hole. He was healed! Disturbed by this miracle, he began to panic, drawing more water into his lungs, but then he found something else. He wasn’t using his lungs. For the last few minutes he was breathing in water just fine. Milo lifted up his arms in front of his face to try and swim upward. That is when noticed three gills on each wrist. Quickly, he propelled himself upward, out of the water. He could see the two ships in the distance. He submerged and started to swim towards the ship. He then noticed that he was swimming faster than he ever had before. Much faster. Within a few seconds, he was next to the oil freighter. Milo quickly grew angry, remembering what those goons had done. As if by his thoughts, the weather changed violently. Lightning struck down on the two ships, the water churned violently. That was not enough though. With a single thought, Milo lifted himself to the ships height. He had merged with the water. His entire legs were part of the ocean. Thinking again, he turned his arms into H20, smashing down onto the ship. The waves obeyed his thoughts and filled the other ship. With one final attack, a series of lightning bolts rampaged the ships. With a lightning bolt, he welded the leaking oil tank shut. Milo then commanded that the ships turn around and go back to land. He also warned them that if they weren’t at risk of ruining the seas, he would have killed them where they stood. Surprisingly the obeyed and turned their ships around. Milo learned of another new ability he had acquired: the power of persuasion. Exhausted, he sunk back down into the ocean.

Milo had learned that the Atlantean waters were mystical. When they were inhabited by death, they had the power to bring that person back if they felt they should. Since Milo’s parents did not abuse the discovery of Atlantis, they had blessed Milo with a rebirth, gifting him with uncanny powers. The sector of Atlantis that his parents found had long been abandoned. The pollution had driven the citizens to flee to a safer place. Taking the name Nereus after the Greek Titan of the Oceans, Milo dedicates himself to getting revenge on the people that murdered him and uncovering the truth of what really happened to his parents.


Hero Type: (Select one)
Brick/Muscle
Elemental: (Select: Water, Wind, Earth)
Energy:(What kind of energy? Ex. Electricity, Fire)
Psychic
Speedster
Gray Matter(Super-smart characters)
Shape Shifter
Mystic(Spell casters/magic users)
Supernatural(Divine agents, Vampires, werewolves, Cosmic deities)

Power Level (Select one below):

1. Street Level (Ex. Punisher, Daredevil)
2. City Level (Ex. Spider-man, Cyclops)
3. World Level (Ex. Flash, Superman)
4. Cosmic (Ex. Silver Surfer, Green Lantern)



Powers (Be Specific): Nereus can control the weather and breathe underwater via gills. He also can control water and use it in many different ways (example: he can also enhance his strength by backing it up with a high pressure blast of water or he can even transform into it at different times). To access this power, he must be close to water. Nereus also has a voice of persuasion. His Atlantean abilities allow him to project his voice in such a way that people are attracted to it and will do his bidding. This also works on animal life. Nereus can also can swim faster in water, reaching speeds of up to 50 MPH. This is only in water though.

Attributes (Select one at each category:
Strength Level: Normal Human, 2, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 tons. (Characters stronger then 100 tons fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Normal Human, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 MPH. (Characters at 100 MPH or faster fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: Normal Human, 2, 3, 4, 5 hours. (Characters at 5 hours or more fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

Agility: Normal Human, 5X, 10X, 15X, or 20X Human level. (Characters at 20X or higher fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

Intelligence: Average/Genius/Super-Genius (If another Level 3 or 4 stat is chosen with Super-Genius the character falls under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

Fighting Skill: Untrained/Trained/Mastered (If another Level 3 or 4 stat is chosen with Mastered the character falls under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

Resources: Minimal/Average/Large/Extreme (If another Level 3 or 4 stat is chosen with Extreme the character falls under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

NOTE: Even if all attributes chosen are Normal human when Super-Genius, Mastered, and Extreme are chosen for the final three attributes, this player is a level 3 or 4 character, such as Batman.


Weaknesses (If your stats chosen are deemed powerful enough by a Game Master with no weakness, the character will fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters. Even with a weakness, a Game Master may rule it as a Level 3 or 4 character): He must be near water to access his water based abilities. People must be able to hear him for his persuasion abilities to take affect. He also can only breathe out of water for a day or so before having to return to the ocean.

Supporting Characters(Does your character have a significant other? A mother? Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?): None yet. Parents are dead and has very little friends to due his dedication to his work.

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. I love water based characters.

2. I have had this idea for a while.

3. It will be cool to explore with what happens when he comes into contact with the people that killed him.

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG: I have role-played before and know what I am doing. I can bring interesting storylines.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Once or twice

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:

Sample Origin Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):

The ocean smashed against the sandy beach of Crete. Milo grabbed onto the sand, trying to use all of his will power to stay on land. His newfound powers had wiped him out. All his strength was gone. Why did this happen to him? All he was doing was trying to help an oil freighter in distress. Those waters were uncharted; the only people that have ever wandered them were dead. There was more to this than what meets the eye. Milo stood up and looked around. This late at night meant the beach was empty. He had to find a place to stay for the night.

Milo didn’t have too look far. Right off the beach was a collection of small houses. He knocked on the door of one the first houses in the area. It was a tiny little thing with faded blue paint of the exterior walls and rickety windows. He felt bad for intruding so late at night, but it was necessary. What happened if his murderers return? What happened if his powers did not last as long as he thought? His worrying was clouding his mind. After a few moments, the door opened. A tiny old woman, who must have been at least 80, opened the door.

“Can I help you?” she cooed.

“You speak English?”Milo blurted. His manners were still mangled from the recent incident.

“Why, yes, I do. I was born in America,” she said just as rudely as Milo had asked.

“Sorry, I had a rough night. It is a very long story, but do you have a place I can stay? I know this is kind of unusual, but like I said, I had a rough night and even if I did explain it to you, I doubt you’d believe me,”

“Don’t worry. I hardly get visitors anymore. I will take what I can get, even if they do come in the middle of the night and are very rude. I have a place to stay in the back,”

The woman led Milo to a room in the back of the house. It was a small guest room with faded red walls and many old pictures. Even though it was very old, it was still beautiful.

“Wow, these paintings, they are remarkable. These are of old Greek myths, right?”

“Myths? I think not. They are of truth,” she snapped. Milo gave her a sideways glance before turning back to the pictures. This lady was obviously off her rocker.

“What is this one of?”

“That is Nereus. He is the Titan of the Sea and father to the Nereids. Like Poseidon, he is said to have untold power over the seas,”

“Nereus, I like that,”

Just a suggestion, but i think there should be a "powerset" list of some kind, preventing two or more characters from sharing a power set, without prior mod approval, or a distinction drawn how this use of a power set is materially different from a prior approved chracters.

like, i was the first "electricity" power set based charcter to be approved. subsequently, two more electricity characters were made. so i withdrew my electricity based charcter and did a weather one. Now Nereus has a weather power set. While im not automatically opposed to Nereus as a character even if he has a similiar power set, i do think there should be an effort to have different power sets on a kind of first-come-first-served approach under the disclaimers i already set out.

just a thought.

I don't know if The Phantom is Walking the Line or not...

He does slay mystical creatures, but not his villains that are human (The Magician, The Reaper, etc).

Anything demonic that was not once human and now is corrupt must die. You don't send Satan to court for his trials. But if a human corrputed by demonic things, you kill him, then it gets iffy. As for Phantom now, I think he's a hero. Killing demons isn't evil. People have choices, demons and other creatures don't.

Because, if each season is a year, then during Season II it'll still be 1 more year before they can enter again. And I want the Phantom to be experienced before he tries to fight an immortal being.

Create a Hero/Villain RPG SEASON I

Screen Name: Aeus

Character you have created: Manimal
Alias: Visko Matich

Speech Color: Normal (black)

Character Alignment: Hero/Villain - Neither (Walking the line)

Identity: Secret/Known - Secret.

Character Personality(Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations):

Believes the ends justifies the means, so, for example if committing a crime will mean that someone is saved, then that is fine to Manimal.

Origin Info/Details: Visko Matich was a Zoologist / Conservationist working in the Congo for the preservation of wild Gorilla habitats. Whilst in protest over deforestation, his family (Mother, Father, Sister) were killed at the hands of muggers in London, his home. On receiving this news, Visko, fled into the forest, away from his camp. Stumbling upon a temple at the base of a waterfall, which seemed Aztec in origin (which was odd as Aztecs lived across the Atlantic from where he was), Visko found an amulet at its center which bared the translated inscription "Gia's Heart". Removing the amulet from its pedestal, Visko was surrounded by a blinding light, and was never to be seen in Africa again.

Awaking in London, Visko learned that the amulet had granted him newfound powers, reminiscent of those of the other creatures of this world, he also found he could turn into them.

Now, using his powers on a quest for vengence and justice, the man now known as MANIMAL prowls the roof tops and ally ways as both man and beast, searching, for his prey.

Hero Type: (Select one)
Brick/Muscle
Elemental: (Select: Water, Wind, Earth)
Energy:(What kind of energy? Ex. Electricity, Fire)
Psychic
Speedster
Gray Matter(Super-smart characters)
Shape Shifter
Mystic(Spell casters/magic users)
Supernatural(Divine agents, Vampires, werewolves, Cosmic deities

He is a Shape shifter.

Power Level (Select one below):

1. Street Level (Ex. Punisher, Daredevil)
2. City Level (Ex. Spider-man, Cyclops) - He is borderline City level.
3. World Level (Ex. Flash, Superman)
4. Cosmic (Ex. Silver Surfer, Green Lantern)

NOTE: Having only one or two powers does not automatically make a character a level 2. The levels reflect how powerful the powers themselves are, not only the variety. A level 3 may be more powerful then a level 4. These levels serve to show where your powerful hero operates, as heroes this powerful may be cosmic wonderers or Earth-bound. Also, Game Masters will be wary of approving level 3 or 4 characters. An extremely well-thought out and great sample post will be needed to be approved for a high level character. Your post should be as powerful as your character.


Powers (Be Specific): He can transform into any Animal he chooses, any insect he chooses, any fish he chooses. He can alter his appearance, and can addopt the trates of Animals whilst in human form, i.e he cant adopt the trates of a turtle or rhino whilst being shot at to make the bullets bounce off, or adopt the trates of a cat and dodge them. He also has an incredibly fast healing factor, similar to Marvel's Deadpool and Wolverine. He can also communicate with all forms of life.

Attributes (Select one at each category:
Strength Level: Normal Human, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 tons. (Characters stronger then 100 tons fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

20 tons max in Elephant form on land. In excess of 50 tons or more in Whale form in the sea.

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Normal Human, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 MPH. (Characters at 100 MPH or faster fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

Completely dependable on what animal he is. But he can reach a reaction time of 80 mph.

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: Normal Human, 2, 3, 4, 5 hours. (Characters at 5 hours or more fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

3 hours on average on land. Unknown in sea.

Agility: Normal Human, 5X, 10X, 15X, or 20X Human level. (Characters at 20X or higher fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

15x easily.

Intelligence: Average/Genius/Super-Genius (If another Level 3 or 4 stat is chosen with Super-Genius the character falls under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

Average.

Fighting Skill: Untrained/Trained/Mastered (If another Level 3 or 4 stat is chosen with Mastered the character falls under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

He has his own, which utilises all his powers. He can rival most Masters though. So, I assume he fits under that catagory.

Resources: Minimal/Average/Large/Extreme (If another Level 3 or 4 stat is chosen with Extreme the character falls under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

Average. Can steal if nessacery, and is a very good interrogator (People tend to open up when a hungry Siberian Tiger is standing infront of them).

NOTE: Even if all attributes chosen are Normal human when Super-Genius, Mastered, and Extreme are chosen for the final three attributes, this player is a level 3 or 4 character, such as Batman.


Weaknesses (If your stats chosen are deemed powerful enough by a Game Master with no weakness, the character will fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters. Even with a weakness, a Game Master may rule it as a Level 3 or 4 character):

None specifically, other than being beheaded kills him.

Supporting Characters(Does your character have a significant other? A mother? Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?):

The Machine Man is his arch nemesis, as his is the exact opposite of him and beleives that all organic life must be destroyed.

http://www.trainsaw.com/images/terminator.jpg

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. He is the opposite of the hero, so it is an interesting ying yang siuation.

2. He can turn into anything mechanical, so is a very dramatic villan in terms of how he battles Manimal.

3. He is completely and utterly obsessed with completing his goal of exterminating all organic life, and will stop at nothing untill he acheives it, killing anyone in his path.

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG:

I believe that I can bring a character to this RPG who is a man riddled with a lust for revenge and a primal rage driving him too his ultimate goal. This, conflicting with the stong moral upbringing he was given, provides an interesting story arc that will become more consuming as it unfolds.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG:

1-5

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:

Sample Origin Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):


The undergrowth was crushed beneath the rubber sole of his boot as he darted across the jungle floor. Thousands of thoughts darting through his mind as his traversed the maze of root and branch, running wildly trying to escape his own grief, but no distance could remove it from him.
He fell to his knees as he reached the end of his run; a large overhand supported by tree buttresses overlooking a waterfall of gigantic proportions. The falls were cascading down the cliffside like the tears on his face and exploding in a vibrant meeting of water and rock causing a cacophony of orchestral sound leaving the distraught man, Visko Matich, no room for his thoughts, no room to clear his mind.
“ARRRRRRRGGHHHHH” He yelled violently into the air, before slaming his clenched fist into the hardened bark wall comprised of the trees around him. Blood trickled from his shredded knuckles and his nerves responded with a sting coursing through his forearm, but no pain could match what he felt now, no pain could match his, for he felt the pain of someone who had lost his entire family to the sin murder.
‘If only I could have been there! If only I could have stopped their deaths!’ He thought to himself.
He hit the tree once more, only this time, as his fist connected with its target, the floor beneath him opened up and he fell an unknown distance, screaming, into and dark abyss.
Visko awoke later in a puddle of his own blood and dirt, his eyes hazy and his vision skewed. It took him a while to gage where he was, but when he did, had little idea what he was in. It appeared he was in a temple of sorts, large stone walls encompassing a central pedestal, with carvings and statues of animals adorning the walls, some arcing menacingly over he lay. He rose and walked towards the pedestal, being bathed in warm light and sweet smelling incense the closer he came.
Upon reaching the pedestal his eyes came to rest upon an amulet that lay on the pedestal. It was a deep red gem encircled in a golden fitting, with a golden chain hanging from its side. After a moments inspection he noticed that there was an inscription engraved onto the gem, It read “Gia’s Heart”.
‘Gia, the goddess of Nature, the earth, living beings.’ He thought, as he tried to obtain a reason for this most bizarre of situations. Then, against his better judgement, he removed the amulet from its pedestal and draped it over his neck.
All of a sudden his was surrounded by a blinding light, and an explosive roaring sound and was never to be seen again for a long time.

Manimal's personality is such that he is a hero, he protects people but, similarly to characters like Robin Hood he does not consider himself bound by the law. He feels that if the end of his actions can justify the means that he got to that end, then that is fine.

For example: Manimal is on patrol at night, jumping across roof tops, he comes into contact with someone who is dieing because scientists did experiments on him. He is told that the only cure is housed in...lets say...umm...the london museum. So Manimal goes to the museum, sneaks in via Rat form, gets past the lazers via bird form, gets past the heat sensors via snake form... and steals the cure. He then returns to the person and cures them. Saving thier life.

Also, he is generally a nice guy, similar to spider-man, and does taunt his enemies with sarcastic comments and pokes fuin at them. However, when enraged, his bestial side takes over, and he acts like an animal with the potential to kill.

I attribute the current (and hopefully future) success of this RPG to the detailed application.

If it wasn't quite so detailed, people could be vague about their abilities, and before you know it, you've got god-like characters running around.

Don't include me in that list. I'm like a rat, first sign of trouble and I shuffle off the ship.

Not to mention the diseases you bring... ;)

He sees through the black one way glass the visor on his mask is made out of. Maybe the visor on the front of the helmet/mask could also have a HUD. Its up to MB. BTW, Capture looks awsome. I gotta say, out of everyone's Micro heroes, including mine, MB have been my absolute favorite. Very original and great design and color scheme. Keep it up! (But not too long, otherwise you'll make me look bad.)

By the way, I resolved the whole Reaper issue.

Henceforth, he shall be known as The Wraith. I love that word, and it's a mirror of the word Phantom, so it shows that contrast.

Create a Hero/Villain RPG SEASON I

Screen Name: Aeus

Character you have created: Manimal
Alias: Visko Matich

Speech Color: Normal (black)

Character Alignment: Hero/Villain - Neither (Walking the line)

Identity: Secret/Known - Secret.

Character Personality(Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations):

Believes the ends justifies the means, so, for example if committing a crime will mean that someone is saved, then that is fine to Manimal.

Origin Info/Details: Visko Matich was a Zoologist / Conservationist working in the Congo for the preservation of wild Gorilla habitats. Whilst in protest over deforestation, his family (Mother, Father, Sister) were killed at the hands of muggers in London, his home. On receiving this news, Visko, fled into the forest, away from his camp. Stumbling upon a temple at the base of a waterfall, which seemed Aztec in origin (which was odd as Aztecs lived across the Atlantic from where he was), Visko found an amulet at its center which bared the translated inscription "Gia's Heart". Removing the amulet from its pedestal, Visko was surrounded by a blinding light, and was never to be seen in Africa again.

Awaking in London, Visko learned that the amulet had granted him newfound powers, reminiscent of those of the other creatures of this world, he also found he could turn into them.

Now, using his powers on a quest for vengence and justice, the man now known as MANIMAL prowls the roof tops and ally ways as both man and beast, searching, for his prey.

Hero Type: (Select one)
Brick/Muscle
Elemental: (Select: Water, Wind, Earth)
Energy:(What kind of energy? Ex. Electricity, Fire)
Psychic
Speedster
Gray Matter(Super-smart characters)
Shape Shifter
Mystic(Spell casters/magic users)
Supernatural(Divine agents, Vampires, werewolves, Cosmic deities

He is a Shape shifter.

Power Level (Select one below):

1. Street Level (Ex. Punisher, Daredevil)
2. City Level (Ex. Spider-man, Cyclops) - He is borderline City level.
3. World Level (Ex. Flash, Superman)
4. Cosmic (Ex. Silver Surfer, Green Lantern)

NOTE: Having only one or two powers does not automatically make a character a level 2. The levels reflect how powerful the powers themselves are, not only the variety. A level 3 may be more powerful then a level 4. These levels serve to show where your powerful hero operates, as heroes this powerful may be cosmic wonderers or Earth-bound. Also, Game Masters will be wary of approving level 3 or 4 characters. An extremely well-thought out and great sample post will be needed to be approved for a high level character. Your post should be as powerful as your character.


Powers (Be Specific): He can transform into any Animal he chooses, any insect he chooses, any fish he chooses. He can alter his appearance, and can addopt the trates of Animals whilst in human form, i.e he cant adopt the trates of a turtle or rhino whilst being shot at to make the bullets bounce off, or adopt the trates of a cat and dodge them. He also has an incredibly fast healing factor, similar to Marvel's Deadpool and Wolverine. He can also communicate with all forms of life.

Attributes (Select one at each category:
Strength Level: Normal Human, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 tons. (Characters stronger then 100 tons fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

20 tons max in Elephant form on land. In excess of 50 tons or more in Whale form in the sea.

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Normal Human, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 MPH. (Characters at 100 MPH or faster fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

Completely dependable on what animal he is. But he can reach a reaction time of 80 mph.

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: Normal Human, 2, 3, 4, 5 hours. (Characters at 5 hours or more fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

3 hours on average on land. Unknown in sea.

Agility: Normal Human, 5X, 10X, 15X, or 20X Human level. (Characters at 20X or higher fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

15x easily.

Intelligence: Average/Genius/Super-Genius (If another Level 3 or 4 stat is chosen with Super-Genius the character falls under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

Average.

Fighting Skill: Untrained/Trained/Mastered (If another Level 3 or 4 stat is chosen with Mastered the character falls under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

He has his own, which utilises all his powers. He can rival most Masters though. So, I assume he fits under that catagory.

Resources: Minimal/Average/Large/Extreme (If another Level 3 or 4 stat is chosen with Extreme the character falls under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters)

Average. Can steal if nessacery, and is a very good interrogator (People tend to open up when a hungry Siberian Tiger is standing infront of them).

NOTE: Even if all attributes chosen are Normal human when Super-Genius, Mastered, and Extreme are chosen for the final three attributes, this player is a level 3 or 4 character, such as Batman.


Weaknesses (If your stats chosen are deemed powerful enough by a Game Master with no weakness, the character will fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters. Even with a weakness, a Game Master may rule it as a Level 3 or 4 character):

None specifically, other than being beheaded kills him.

Supporting Characters(Does your character have a significant other? A mother? Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?):

The Machine Man is his arch nemesis, as his is the exact opposite of him and beleives that all organic life must be destroyed.

http://www.trainsaw.com/images/terminator.jpg

Three reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. He is the opposite of the hero, so it is an interesting ying yang siuation.

2. He can turn into anything mechanical, so is a very dramatic villan in terms of how he battles Manimal.

3. He is completely and utterly obsessed with completing his goal of exterminating all organic life, and will stop at nothing untill he acheives it, killing anyone in his path.

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar explaining what you think you can bring to the RPG:

I believe that I can bring a character to this RPG who is a man riddled with a lust for revenge and a primal rage driving him too his ultimate goal. This, conflicting with the stong moral upbringing he was given, provides an interesting story arc that will become more consuming as it unfolds.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG:

1-5

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:

Sample Origin Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):


The undergrowth was crushed beneath the rubber sole of his boot as he darted across the jungle floor. Thousands of thoughts darting through his mind as his traversed the maze of root and branch, running wildly trying to escape his own grief, but no distance could remove it from him.
He fell to his knees as he reached the end of his run; a large overhand supported by tree buttresses overlooking a waterfall of gigantic proportions. The falls were cascading down the cliffside like the tears on his face and exploding in a vibrant meeting of water and rock causing a cacophony of orchestral sound leaving the distraught man, Visko Matich, no room for his thoughts, no room to clear his mind.
“ARRRRRRRGGHHHHH” He yelled violently into the air, before slaming his clenched fist into the hardened bark wall comprised of the trees around him. Blood trickled from his shredded knuckles and his nerves responded with a sting coursing through his forearm, but no pain could match what he felt now, no pain could match his, for he felt the pain of someone who had lost his entire family to the sin murder.
‘If only I could have been there! If only I could have stopped their deaths!’ He thought to himself.
He hit the tree once more, only this time, as his fist connected with its target, the floor beneath him opened up and he fell an unknown distance, screaming, into and dark abyss.
Visko awoke later in a puddle of his own blood and dirt, his eyes hazy and his vision skewed. It took him a while to gage where he was, but when he did, had little idea what he was in. It appeared he was in a temple of sorts, large stone walls encompassing a central pedestal, with carvings and statues of animals adorning the walls, some arcing menacingly over he lay. He rose and walked towards the pedestal, being bathed in warm light and sweet smelling incense the closer he came.
Upon reaching the pedestal his eyes came to rest upon an amulet that lay on the pedestal. It was a deep red gem encircled in a golden fitting, with a golden chain hanging from its side. After a moments inspection he noticed that there was an inscription engraved onto the gem, It read “Gia’s Heart”.
‘Gia, the goddess of Nature, the earth, living beings.’ He thought, as he tried to obtain a reason for this most bizarre of situations. Then, against his better judgement, he removed the amulet from its pedestal and draped it over his neck.
All of a sudden his was surrounded by a blinding light, and an explosive roaring sound and was never to be seen again for a long time.

Few things before approval.

First off, the three reasons you have chosen that character part applies to the character you've created, not a supporting character.

Secondly, a villain isn't considered a supporting character. Does Visko have any friends or relatives? Does he have a girlfriend or is he married?

Third thing, you'll need to elaborate a bit on his weaknesses. Granted he doesn't have any specific ones and a major healing factor, but is he like a normal human in the sense that he can be knocked out?


Other than that, you're good. :up:

Though you're character does seem more World level than City.


Also, minor nitpick, but it's pronounced Gaea or Gaia, not Gia. ;)

I tend to skim over the ginormous ones, paying attention to the dialogue and the locations, but just breezing past the minute details. If I wanted to read a novel, that's what I'd do. In RP-format, it's just too tiring on the eyes, and by the time I finish the really long ones I have little interest left to read anyone else's posts at that time.

Syn, you're last post was a very decent length ( :up: ), but a couple of your other ones... :wow:. Just trying to give contructive criticism; no offense meant to the material itself at all.
