First, A Few Rules and Guidelines:


You can create any superhero or super villain in this New Universe, as long as they: Are NOT deities, gods, or people such as Death. People like Thanos and Silver Surfer and Captain Marvel are okay, though...
Do NOT rip off existing heroes in comic universes. Come up with your own creation. If your character is too similar to one in Marvel, DC, or other comic companies, you will be asked to change it or come up with a new character.
Do NOT criticize another poster’s character. We are not all Stan Lee or Shakespeare. Constructive criticism is okay as long as it is not offensive. This rule applies even if a poster asks for feedback.
Communicate with others in your arc. This is key to the fun. It doesn’t matter how many fights you win, it matters if the fights were written well.
The Game Masters have the final say in matters of character acceptance. You are welcome to alter the character to make it less powerful or more creative, but arguing with the Game Masters is not allowed. This is a game, let it be fun.
You are allowed three characters, provided that you have already established yourself capable of playing two characters at once for a sufficient amount of time determined by the GMs.
This is a working environment, so you can travel to different places using your powers or vehicles. Don't miraculously pop up unless you're a teleporter or such.
If you are new to the RPG, your first arc should be your origin arc. There are NO pre-established characters in this RPG - save for those established by players in previous seasons.
You can reside in any place in the New Universe. Note, however, that the main city is Lost Haven, Maine. This is where a lot of the action will take place. You can also travel off-planet.
Don't do anything RANDOM like chopping off board user's heads or what not, unless your a villain chopping off NPC victims heads, then whatever, go with it, as long as it's not technically RANDOM.
Don't be killing people without reason. You know your weaknesses and strengths, what you can do or can't. Dazzler will lose against Thanos one on one, but may be able to use her allies to help her out or she can run away.
If you want to take part in this, just fill out an app and your name and character will appear on the roster, pending approval.
You can form super villain gangs, superhero teams, alliances, the works.
There can be a number of stories going on at once, using different people.
Act like your characters; ASSUME their traits and personalities.
There should be MINIMAL cussing and swearing in posts.
There will be NO By-passing the censors. This is a Hype rule, and NO exceptions will be made for the RPG.
No obscene topics!
People who disobey these rules, some more major than the others, will get BOOTED by the Game Masters. If a Hype! Mod need boot you; do not bother applying again.

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.

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)

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):

[Hound55]

Character you have created: The Vigilante
Alias: Isaac Fontaine

Speech Colour: Blackout Courier new white. In cases of thought, bolded courier new.

Character Alignment: Hero but not far from walking the line in his social interactions.

Identity: Secret

Character Personality: Mid 20s but has been living a double life beating criminals for over a decade. Slight frame but very well cut as a former light middleweight amateur boxer. Was the sole heir to a very wealthy family but lives/eats like a bum; eats microwave food and 2 minute noodles regularly, shaves, but more to preserve identity than for any vanity or general sense of hygiene. Heavy amounts of guilt have moulded him into the young man he is at this point, the experiences he’s had as a result of these family issues have led him to be quite socially maladjusted or “socially retarded” as he describes himself. He will frequently speak his mind with little thought for the consequences and feelings of those around him. Does however show remorse afterwards, suggests just thoughtlessness on his part. Understands that there is no book on what he’s doing and as such modifies how he goes about his fight, analyses what took place after each conflict. Understands own shortcomings but falls into habits because of comfort (i.e. fighting style he prefers to fight like a peek-a-boo, toe-to-toe boxer despite not being built for it, largely due to habit and lack of fear for his own person since he can’t feel the damage he’s taking on – also other psychological reasons likely behind the choice to take large quantities of damage). Looking to delve more into motivations this season.

Uniform/Costume: Fontaine is more about effectiveness than style, as such everything he takes/wears has to be justifiable. He wears a black balaclava, generic black tracksuit top and pants, strapped with duct tape at the wrists and ankles to avoid leaving DNA evidence, wears rubber surgical gloves under leather gloves allowing him to remove leather gloves for greater dexterity.

Origin Info/Details: Born in the mid-80s, his was a remarkable situation. A very rare condition saw his mother’s body treating the foetus as a disease/obstruction, her immune system attacking the baby and leaving the mother dramatically weakened and needing an extremely pre-mature c-section. In what was previously thought to be a zero survival rate case, Isaac Fontaine the miracle baby was born in uncomfortable silence. His nerves fused in such a way as to not allow the sensation of pain to travel through to the receptors in his brain as his body managed to somehow naturally adapt to prevent the foetus dying of shock. His mother’s body however was ravaged and weakened by the birth, dying in the hospital. Her body died fighting the baby her mind wanted so badly. The father named the child Isaac, as was his mother’s wish and he raised the child as she would want, despite some deep-seeded resentment towards the child for being the cause of death to the woman he loved so much.
The boy and his father would eat at the dinner table with the evening news on in the background, and his father would comment on it with the problems of the day (his father was a brash, opinionated man, just as the son would be – he was also grooming him to one day rise to fill his shoes in the corporate world). A liberal government combined with the news would lead to great rants from the conservative father, about the government being out of touch and needing to crack down on the criminal youth element (gangs and organised crime were becoming increasingly prevalent in Terraria through the 90s-early 2000s). One phrase which was repeated often which would resonate in the younger Fontaine’s ears: “Something has to be done”.
Fast forward a few years, and a young Fontaine is playing soccer, representing his boarding school, the young Isaac was taken out via a slide tackle from a vastly bigger boy from a rival school with a bullying reputation. Isaac got to his feet and shoved the bully who countered by punching Isaac in the face. Isaac had his feet set and took the brunt of the blow, returning fire with a shot that broke his nose and sat the behemoth on his arse. The following season he was urged into boxing as word passed through the school of the soccer incident. That next winter he also moved into rugby as he grew to love the positive response and reputation he got as a fearless, loyal teammate who would throw himself in to play support regardless the odds for success… coming out on top more often than not.
His first vigilante moment came at 16, when he saw an old man get mugged by 5 punk kids who stole his wallet and, seeing that nobody around was looking to oppose them, kicked the old man in the chest and walked away laughing. Fontaine’s dark scowl reflected his posture as he hunched in an intimidating fashion over the wheel. Observed the 5 walk to their car and trailed them back to a house. Fontaine picked off the residents one or two at a time, found the wallet and fled. From the security of his car he saw the wallet had been picked clean of cash, after a brief stop he returned the wallet plus $200 to its rightful owner after knocking on the door and leaving the wallet on the step whilst checking from a safe distance. The old man’s heart dangerously skipped a beat when he found it brimming with currency, but all was well and a hero was born.
A year later his father was mugged and bled out in a backstreet after leaving through a backdoor avoiding current affairs reporters who had been harassing their way to the top due to the poor behaviour of a comparatively lower down representative of the company. With this event a hobby mutated to obsession as his father’s words echoed with meaning now greater than ever.
With access to new wealth from his passing father, an empty house to work towards his fixation and the additional alibi of taking some time off to mourn the passing of his father added to his rapidly improving methods and the cool, fearless head which led to many calling him “Iced veins” Fontaine, Isaac now threatens to be the biggest blight on crime yet… if the police and a Premier seeking re-election don’t take him down first.

He's been busy...

Hero Type: Between Normal and Muscle. In this world of super-powered beings he leans closer to normal.

Power Level: Going by the level of his actual powers you would say 1. By definition he watches over his home city though.

Powers: Inability to feel pain. Very minor healing factor that allows him to heal perhaps 50 percent faster than regular people.



Attributes:

Strength Level: High level human. Pain no factor.

Speed/Reaction Timing: High level human.

Endurance at Maximum Effort: Above regular level human since not held back by pain barrier.

Agility: Held to human level.

Intelligence: Borderline genius intellect by human terms. Particularly suited to his own lifestyle.

Fighting Skill: Heavily influenced by boxing where he gained experience as a high school amateur boxer. Will kick, but generally when opponent is exposed. More power than finesse, will occasionally break his own bones/harm himself trying to take out opponents. Knows some counters in other martial arts but is far from a master in any. Looks to intimidate. Not opposed to inflicting serious injury to self or opponents in combat. Better at fighting against knives than with one himself, since training low and he’s largely self-taught from a decade of crime-fighting. Not a good marksman due to his inexperience/fear of possible harm to innocent bystanders and largely abhors guns in general.

Resources: Large but not obscene to Bruce Wayne/Tony Stark/Danny Rand levels. Family was wealthy as father was banking high-up and left with vast inheritance. Rents numerous places in Lost Haven as “safe houses”, this allows/results in him living in a number of places and not really considering anywhere in this new city home.

Equipment: Nightsticks (previously jimmy-sticks), grappling hook gun/bolt gun (which he carries both piercing bolts and “concussion” dulled-head bolts), “flash-bang” grenades, balaklava, $500 in cash, spare cble/hooks, duct tape. Will occasionally carry light pack with other ordnance/equipment.

Weaknesses: Poor marksman, but doesn’t really use firearms anyway. Is very intelligent, but needs it focused to be applicable. Quite (extremely) socially maladjusted; too frequently speaks his mind. Is only human in a world of superhumans. Inability to feel pain results in more serious injuries since he pushes his body to further and further extremes.

Create a Hero RPG SEASON IV Application

Character you have created: Jonathan Small, but he likes to go simply by "Jon".

Alias: Blacklight

Speech Color: Black Franklin Gothic Medium, bolded when speaking as Blacklight.

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality: Jon is an overall nice guy with good morals, a rocky but strong upbringing, and just enough naivety to think that one man is capable of making a difference. Although Jon is quite intelligent, he's by no means your stereotypical "nerd", but more of a fan of nerdy media spanning from comic books to movies, as well as TV and video games. He doesn't find himself bullied or picked on at school (at least not excessively), but he does find himself and his accomplishments to go unnoticed by his fellow classmates outside of his friends. He avoids confrontation whenever possible and avoids fighting. Jon, when he's alone and thinking about his life, is occasionally overwhelmed by feelings of unfulfillment and feels as if his destiny is to lead a life of endless mediocrity. But that all changed when he received superpowers.

Uniform/costume: Hard to describe in detail, so please look at the picture below for a good look at the design.

Origin Info/Details: Superheroes don't exist. Let's face it. They only exist in comic books. This the REAL world.


...but if they did? Then Blacklight would be one the first.

Enter 17 year old Jon Small, an East City, Connecticut native. He was just your average (albeit somewhat nerdy) teenager. Or WAS rather, seeing as how when he had reached a point in his life where mediocrity was the norm, a freak accident on a high school field trip had blessed him with an extraordinary gift... as well as a curse.

You see, it all started when irradiated light beam happened to find it's way to Jon's chest, where his body was infused with the radiation contained within the light. This rather traumatic event had thus infected his cells with the radiation, granting him abilities far beyond that of ordinary teenaged males.

Of these "superpowers", Jon could now fly via self-propulsion, lift a car with disproportionate strength (that comes paired with increased tissue durability), as well as absorb ambient photons, expose them to the radiation in his cells, which in turn rob them of their illuminating qualities, then emit the charged, black-colored light particles through his hands. A side effect of using these abilities, however, being the alteration of his hair color and eye pigments.

Using these powers, as well as having a costume crafted specifically for him out of a nigh-indestructible superfabric known only as "Quadro-Weave", he began to defend East City as the superhero Blacklight, a name derived from his strange powers.

But, as I had stated earlier by saying how it's a curse, we all know being a superhero and leading a double life doesn't come without a wide load of problems, but Jon can take it. Because he's not just ordinary Jon Small anymore...


He's Blacklight.



Hero Type: Blacklight is a combination of Brick and Energy (Bio-Luminescent Energy)

Power Level: City Level/World Level


Powers (Be Specific): Jon, after receiving his powers, will be able to fly, possess superstrength and enhanced durability, as well as generate black light energy through his hands. A side effect of using these abilities, however, is the alteration of his hair color and eye pigments.

Attributes (Select one at each category):

Strength Level: 10 with Maximum effort.

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Normal Human without the aid of Self-propulsion.

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: 2 hours.

Agility: Normal Human Intelligence: Genius

Fighting Skill: Trained somewhat...

Resources: Large via good friend and his Genius Inventor father.


Weaknesses: Jon's powers might have limitations as to how long they can be used until they fail. Or as Jon put's it, "burn out" on him. And naturally, the effectiveness of his powers are completely dependent on his self-control as well as his state of mind (i.e. if he feels intense feelings of sadness or depression, his powers will cease to work and conversely, if severely angered, they will increase in power with catastrophic results).

Supporting Characters:

Ryan Reitz: Jon's best friend and confidante. He is also Jon's "fight instructor" in a sense. They've been friends for years and have a really close, brotherly bond.

Jessica Long: Ryan's longtime girlfriend and close friend to Jon. She's very talented artistically, and help's Jon to design his costume after recieving his powers.

Josh Montanez: Close friend to both Ryan and Jon, and the son of inventor Peter Montanez. He and his father are the minds behind Jon's suit, arsenal and gadgetry.

Jessica "The Wasp" Gerbutovich: Jon's co-worker and close friend who was recently revealed to be the elusive investigative blogger known to most by her screename/alias: "The Wasp". As the Wasp, Jess is the mastermind behind "thewaspiswatching.com", a website devoted to exposing the faces East City's criminal underworld and putting them in the public eye. Her past is quite a mystery, and her personality while operating as the Wasp is vastly different than how she normally acts, as when she is the Wasp, she comes across as a loner who prefers to work solo. That is until she forms an alliance with Blacklight, who will aid her in her endeavors as she will for him.

The Girl who's name Jon doesn't know...: The girl Jon is actively pursuing and wishes to date. Jon doesn't know much about her outside of the fact that they go to school together, and he desperately wants to find out her name. But every time he gets close, circumstances make it so he won't hear it.

List a few reasons why you've created that character: Blacklight was I character I created when I was 13 years old, but as these past 7 years have gone by, the character has evolved into a character that I'd like to describe as a superhero who's as relatable as Spider-Man, lives in as grim and gritty a world as Batman's, yet with the iconic status as well as the vast scale and fantastic concepts associated with Superman, all blended together with the sense of realism from Kick-Ass. In other words, a combination of all the things I love from my favorite superheroes in one neat little package. My dream character. The one I was born to play.

What can you bring to the RPG?: The best writing I can offer these boards and the promise that it will be my best work to date.

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

Chapter 1: Our Hero, Ladies and Gentlemen...



"I hate my life..."

It's a phrase I mutter more than I'd like to, but sometimes it's just instinctual.

The stress. The repetition. The loneliness. The overall mediocrity of it all. I feel as if it's all enough to justify my hatred of this enigma that continues to plague me and others like me. An enigma simply known as 'life'.

Simply put? My life sucks...

Sometimes it's overall suck-titude is downright unbearable. I wake up EVERY DAY with absolutely nothing to look forward to. Nothing exciting to take me away from the misery I trudge through. No motivations outside of sleep, the only time of the day where my crap life doesn't drain me of every ounce of strength I can muster.

However, it's not as if I believe it'll always be like this. No. Even at this very moment, I'm holding out for something... Holding out for something extraordinary to happen to me in hopes that I can finally free myself from the prison known as my life.

But for now... This is it. Just a seemingly endless loop of pain and suffering.

'So what caused you to go on this tangent about how much your life sucks, Mr. Narrator,' you ask?

Take a look for yourself...

1 moment ago...


It's lunch period, and here I am sitting at my table, playing with my food as I think to myself. Thinking of how maybe a life such as mine might not be as bad as I make it sound. That was, until something happened in the matter of a few seconds to make think otherwise.

"Hey, Small!"

Instantly I look up, which I knew would be a bad move on my part in a split-second as I feel the splash of poorly salted, mashed tomatoes, over-cooked pasta and gigantic clumps of beef mushed together into a spherical shape against my face.

Spaghetti and meatballs... How original.

"Suck on those balls! HAHAHAHA!!"

As I wiped the gross pasta from my face, I sighed.

Anyways, this is a story about me. Your average, everyday, nothing special nerd with a heart of gold and the worst luck going through the MANY obstacles life throws my way.

My name is Jon Small, and...

"I hate my life..."


But as I was about to find out... Things were all about to change.

Create a Hero RPG SEASON IV Application

Character you have created: Jonathan Small, but he likes to go simply by "Jon".

Alias: Blacklight

Speech Color: Black Franklin Gothic Medium, bolded when speaking as Blacklight.

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality: Jon is an overall nice guy with good morals, a rocky but strong upbringing, and just enough naivety to think that one man is capable of making a difference. Although Jon is quite intelligent, he's by no means your stereotypical "nerd", but more of a fan of nerdy media spanning from comic books to movies, as well as TV and video games. He doesn't find himself bullied or picked on at school (at least not excessively), but he does find himself and his accomplishments to go unnoticed by his fellow classmates outside of his friends. He avoids confrontation whenever possible and avoids fighting.

Create a Hero RPG SEASON III Application

Character you have created: Molly-Ann Pym

Alias: Pygmalion

Speech Color: Dark Red

Character Alignment: Antihero/Walking the Line

Identity: Secret

Character Personality: Molly-Ann is charismatic and personable. She has the sort of radiant magnetism that causes people to often overlook or forgive her flaws, making it easier for her to get away with behavior less charming people might be reprimanded for. She lives life for herself, and usually doesn't consider how her actions affect others. In her wilder moments, she embodies the sex, drugs and rock n' roll persona show business is known for while in her better moments, she is a hard-to-commit adrenaline junkie with more potential than motivation. Her charm often leads people to love her for what she could be, and ignore who she actually is.

Uniform/costume: Street clothes except at night, when she wears a black full-body suit and hood with visor to protect her from moonlight.

Origin Info/Details: Molly-Ann grew up in a normal middle-class family. Her own flamboyant personality and disinterest in authority caused her to break away from her parents at a young age. She went across the country to attend college, where she intended to get her degree in theatre and circus performance. Though she proved a natural talent on stage, and had a great creative eye for offstage work, she lacked the commitment to her academics, struggling to balance her theatre major with her party major. What marginal success she had in school was due largely in part to the constant encouragement she received from her roommate, Katie. She was able to graduate in four years with little to show other than the piece of paper saying she didn't flunk out.
Katie remained her best friend throughout college, and made sure they remained roommates all four years, despite being very opposing personalities. While Molly-Ann was loud and charismatic, Katie was quiet and gently reserved. Where Molly-Ann was impatient and uncaring, Katie had both perseverance and empathy. It wasn't until after graduation when Katie was accepted into grad school and Molly-Ann was turned down for the circus that a relationship blossomed between them. They moved in together, and Katie supported Molly-Ann while starting grad school until Molly found work with a childhood friend as a production designer for the Gilded Lily House of Burlesque.
Being something of an adrenaline junkie and never liking the idea of being tied to anything, Molly-Ann looked for escape in more extreme outdoor sports. Whitewater rafting, base jumping and rock climbing all found their way into her downtime. While out climbing with a friend, a sudden storm forced them to bivy in a nearby cave. Though the caves were off limits and spelunking was prohibited due to cave-in risk and a higher than normal rattlesnake population, curiosity got the better of her and Molly-Ann waited out the storm by exploring the cave. A misstep caused her to tumble down a drop-off and cut herself on an unusual cluster of crystals.
It was fairly soon after the incident at the cave when the changes began to take place. Molly-Ann found climbing easier, as it seemed the rocks nearly rose up to help her. She realized she could control sand and stone, and even more strangely, she discovered that she could turn herself into a statue at will. Unfortunately, it was the unsuspecting Katie who discovered that Molly-Ann turned to a statue if moonlight touched her exposed skin.


Hero Type:

Brick/Muscle
Elemental: Earth

Power Level*(Select one below):

1. Street Level*(Ex. Punisher, Daredevil)
2. City Level*(Ex. Spider-Man, Cyclops)

Powers: Molly-Ann can control the stone around her. She is able to make it change shape and use it as a weapon. In battle, her skin is as tough as rock, making it difficult to damage her seriously. She is also able to turn herself into a statue at will (useful for camouflage)

Attributes:

Strength Level: 20

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Double normal human

Endurance at*MAXIMUM*Effort:4

Agility: Double normal human

Intelligence:*Average

Fighting Skill:*Untrained

Resources:*Minimal

Weaknesses: Turns to stone if moonlight touches her exposed skin. She has trouble taking anything seriously, often causing her to get into situations where she over her head.

Supporting Characters:
Jason – Molly-Ann's friend and former boyfriend. They have a steady on-off, drunk-dial hookup relationship. They are currently off, but remain good friends.
Katie – Molly-Ann's college roommate and girlfriend of six months. She is empathetic, sweet-natured and forgiving. She is an unwitting enabler to Molly-Ann's own bad habits and destructive tendencies. Katie is getting her MBA in zoology. She plays guitar and she is always a little starstruck by Molly-Ann's charisma.
Tart Nouveau, AKA Christine Sharp – a childhood friend of Molly-Ann's. She owns and operates the Gilded Lily House of Burlesque with her husband Danny, where she is the headlining performer. She employed Molly-Ann as a favor and has since promoted her to Production Designer for her shows. They work on the same wavelength artistically. Tart knows Molly-Ann better than anyone, and is one of the few people who is not dazzled by Molly's charismatic personality. Because of this, she is able to call Molly out when she screws up. Though she is often hard on Molly-Ann, the friendship has remained strong due to Molly's own unwitting desire for someone to be critical of her and demand more from her potential.

List a few reasons why you've created that character:

What can you bring to the RPG?: There's leftover taco salad in the fridge. Help yourself.

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

Sample Post:
“Thank you. We'll be in touch.”

Molly-Ann Pym watched the scantily clad blonde sachet off stage, her rhinestone G-string sparkling under the lights. Molly found if she tilted her head just right, she could just catch a glimpse of the dancer's ass as she stood offstage, double-checking her information with the stage manager. Damn. It was a fine ass.

“What do you think?”
“Huh?” Molly tore her eyes away from the glittering blonde and swivelled them to the woman sitting next to her, one Tart Nouveau.

“I think it's astonishing so many women showed up for a burlesque audition.” Molly looked down at her clipboard, pretending to re-read the dancer's resume.

“I put out the word to the dance studios. Most of them are students.” Nouveau replied with a bemused sigh. “And most of them can't dance.”

“God blessum for trying, though.” Molly replied as she scribbled the words 'nice ass' under the dancer's headshot.

“Have you seen enough to cast a chorus?” Nouveau looked up at Molly, her cat-eyed makeup and flawlessly sleek brown hair casting shame on Molly-Ann's own hurried red ponytail and lipgloss routine.

“I won't lie.” She grinned. “I'm prepared to see lots more. Do you still need a compere for this show?”

“No.” Nouveau replied sharply, in a manner that told Molly she meant more than the question. “I'm not letting you do this.”

“Do what?” Molly grinned, fairly certain she knew exactly what her childhood friend meant.

“The only time you're ever interested in hosting one of my shows is when you want to bag one of my dancers, and I'm not letting you do that to Katie. And I don't plan on casting the blonde with two left feet and no rhythm anyway, so you can forget it.”

“She has a nice ass.” Molly retorted plainly.

“And no idea what to do with it.” Tart settled back in her seat, scratching out the dancer's name from her list with a flourish.

Tart Nouveau wasn't her real name. Her real name was Christine Sharp. She and Molly-Ann had grown up in the same small suburbanite town in the middle of Nowhere, USA, and had both made their grand escapes to California shortly after high school. Though she was only a few years older than Molly-Ann, Tart had proven a hard worker and a natural talent at the business end of show business, and by the time she was only twenty-four, she and her husband Danny owned and operated the Gilded Lily House of Burlesque – one of the most successful burlesque reviews in the nation. After Molly-Ann graduated and moved to California, Tart had thrown her a bone, letting her work on the design team for her shows, which were the prime attraction of the Gilded Lily.

“Why are you here anyway?” Tart arched an eyebrow in Molly's direction as she leafed through the pile of resumes. “You're not required to come to auditions.”

“Eh... Katie's dad is in town.” Molly laces her ankles on the back of the seat in front of her, slouching down into the red velvet theatre chair and doing a double take over some headshots.

“That was this weekend!?” Tart's eyes widened and she turned to Molly, a look of shock on her face. “You promised you'd be there for - “

“I know!” Molly-Ann cut her off. “I know I did, I just... I don't really see the point.”

“Mol, your girlfriend is coming out to her parents! How exactly do you not see the point!?”

“I just DON'T, Tart!” Molly threw up her hands.

“You're going to leave her there to do it alone.” Molly didn't have to look over to tell her best friend was staring daggers through her.

“She won't do it if I'm not there.”

“So you don't want her to come out?” Tart turned in her seat, resting the resumes on her knee and her head in her free hand.

“I just -” Molly tilted her head back, counting the Fresnels and wishing she could avoid the conversation.

“You don't think you'll be together long enough for it to matter.” Tart finished vindictively.

Bingo.

“That's not it.” Molly-Ann squirmed in her seat.

That was exactly it.

“Look, everyone else may put up with your ****, Mol, but this is me.” Tart indicated her flawlessly made-up face with her immaculately manicured hand “Katie obviously thinks you're sticking around long enough to make this worthwhile. Are you?”

Molly squirmed visibly in her seat, uncomfortable with the implications of any answer she might give. Her silence seemed to answer Tart's question well enough.

“Well if you are, you need to get over there and support her and if you're not, then you need to do the right thing and break up with her already. She's not one of your skeevy little one-nighters. She's better than that and you need to treat her like it. Either way, you need to get the hell outta here and go talk to her.”

“Yeah...” Molly-Ann nodded slightly to herself before standing. “Yeah, okay.” She tossed the headshots onto Tart's pile. “And for the record, choreographically challenged blondes don't do it for me.” She shrugged on her patched denim jacket she had had since freshman year of high school. “It was the ginger with the balloon-pop routine.”

“Go home, Mol.” Tart ordered, not acknowledging the comment.

“Yeah.” Molly-Ann walked up the aisle and out into the lobby. Reaching for her phone, she pressed a number on speed dial and waited nervously for an answer on the other line.

“Hey, Jason! Yeah, I'm off for the rest of the day – you wanna go climbing?” Relief swept over her as she was assured of a few more hours of avoiding her apartment and her no-doubt enraged girlfriend.

“Yeah, my gear's in my car. I'll meet you out there.”

Molly-Ann Pym watched the scantily clad blonde sachet off stage, her rhinestone G-string sparkling under the lights. Molly found if she tilted her head just right, she could just catch a glimpse of the dancer's ass as she stood offstage, double-checking her information with the stage manager. Damn. It was a fine ass.

“What do you think?”
“Huh?” Molly tore her eyes away from the glittering blonde and swivelled them to the woman sitting next to her, one Tart Nouveau.

“I think it's astonishing so many women showed up for a burlesque audition.” Molly looked down at her clipboard, pretending to re-read the dancer's resume.

“I put out the word to the dance studios. Most of them are students.” Nouveau replied with a bemused sigh. “And most of them can't dance.”

“God blessum for trying, though.” Molly replied as she scribbled the words 'nice ass' under the dancer's headshot.

“Have you seen enough to cast a chorus?” Nouveau looked up at Molly, her cat-eyed makeup and flawlessly sleek brown hair casting shame on Molly-Ann's own hurried red ponytail and lipgloss routine.

“I won't lie.” She grinned. “I'm prepared to see lots more. Do you still need a compere for this show?”

“No.” Nouveau replied sharply, in a manner that told Molly she meant more than the question. “I'm not letting you do this.”

“Do what?” Molly grinned, fairly certain she knew exactly what her childhood friend meant.

“The only time you're ever interested in hosting one of my shows is when you want to bag one of my dancers, and I'm not letting you do that to Katie. And I don't plan on casting the blonde with two left feet and no rhythm anyway, so you can forget it.”

“She has a nice ass.” Molly retorted plainly.

“And no idea what to do with it.” Tart settled back in her seat, scratching out the dancer's name from her list with a flourish.

Tart Nouveau wasn't her real name. Her real name was Christine Sharp. She and Molly-Ann had grown up in the same small suburbanite town in the middle of Nowhere, USA, and had both made their grand escapes to California shortly after high school. Though she was only a few years older than Molly-Ann, Tart had proven a hard worker and a natural talent at the business end of show business, and by the time she was only twenty-four, she and her husband Danny owned and operated the Gilded Lily House of Burlesque – one of the most successful burlesque reviews in the nation. After Molly-Ann graduated and moved to California, Tart had thrown her a bone, letting her work on the design team for her shows, which were the prime attraction of the Gilded Lily.

“Why are you here anyway?” Tart arched an eyebrow in Molly's direction as she leafed through the pile of resumes. “You're not required to come to auditions.”

“Eh... Katie's dad is in town.” Molly laces her ankles on the back of the seat in front of her, slouching down into the red velvet theatre chair and doing a double take over some headshots.

“That was this weekend!?” Tart's eyes widened and she turned to Molly, a look of shock on her face. “You promised you'd be there for - “

“I know!” Molly-Ann cut her off. “I know I did, I just... I don't really see the point.”

“Mol, your girlfriend is coming out to her parents! How exactly do you not see the point!?”

“I just DON'T, Tart!” Molly threw up her hands.

“You're going to leave her there to do it alone.” Molly didn't have to look over to tell her best friend was staring daggers through her.

“She won't do it if I'm not there.”

“So you don't want her to come out?” Tart turned in her seat, resting the resumes on her knee and her head in her free hand.

“I just -” Molly tilted her head back, counting the Fresnels and wishing she could avoid the conversation.

“You don't think you'll be together long enough for it to matter.” Tart finished vindictively.

Bingo.

“That's not it.” Molly-Ann squirmed in her seat.

That was exactly it.

“Look, everyone else may put up with your ****, Mol, but this is me.” Tart indicated her flawlessly made-up face with her immaculately manicured hand “Katie obviously thinks you're sticking around long enough to make this worthwhile. Are you?”

Molly squirmed visibly in her seat, uncomfortable with the implications of any answer she might give. Her silence seemed to answer Tart's question well enough.

“Well if you are, you need to get over there and support her and if you're not, then you need to do the right thing and break up with her already. She's not one of your skeevy little one-nighters. She's better than that and you need to treat her like it. Either way, you need to get the hell outta here and go talk to her.”

“Yeah...” Molly-Ann nodded slightly to herself before standing. “Yeah, okay.” She tossed the headshots onto Tart's pile. “And for the record, choreographically challenged blondes don't do it for me.” She shrugged on her patched denim jacket she had had since freshman year of high school. “It was the ginger with the balloon-pop routine.”

“Go home, Mol.” Tart ordered, not acknowledging the comment.

“Yeah.” Molly-Ann walked up the aisle and out into the lobby. Reaching for her phone, she pressed a number on speed dial and waited nervously for an answer on the other line.

“Hey, Jason! Yeah, I'm off for the rest of the day – you wanna go climbing?” Relief swept over her as she was assured of a few more hours of avoiding her apartment and her no-doubt enraged girlfriend.

“Yeah, my gear's in my car. I'll meet you out there.”

Character you have created: Darren Cole
Alias: The Invisible Man

Speech Color (Actually say what you're using, don't go "Like this", or what not): DimGray when visible / Gray when invisibile

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality (Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations):
Darren is swarmy, snarky, hates authority, and is highly intelligent, although you might not realize it, and neither does he.

Darren's pretty much the thief with a heart of gold thing going on. He's still very much the criminal, but is starting to figure out that being the good guy isn't that bad after all.

Uniform/costume: Darren just wears regular clothes....although

Origin Info/Details: Growing up, Darren was always the trouble child, always getting into, and doing, things he wasn't supposed to. His brother Kevin was the brilliant good boy stereotype, which always got under Darren's skin. But they were still brothers, and when their parents died, and they moved in with their grandparents, they became much closer.

But the bad boy was still there. And someone recognized the young man's talent and took him under their wing. Within no time, Darren was an expert cat-burglar and thief. But even experts slip up from time to time.

And on Darren's the third time only because he happened across the rich owner of the pent house he was robbing who had had a heart attack. Caught while trying to perform CPR, the police assumed he'd actually killed the man, and on his third strike, Darren was convicted: life without the possibility of parole.

Which gave the head of a secret government agency known only as The Agency a golden opportunity. They needed a human test subject. Darren needed a pardon. And Kevin was head of the project that brought everything together. They implanted a gland in his head which let him secret the quicksilver substance over his body, making him invisible. And it all worked...which is just when everything went wrong.

One night, the facility was attacked, and everyone other than Darren, including his brother, was killed. The Agency found Darren and gave him a job as their new agent, which was fortunate when they realized the quicksilver was poisonous and would break down Darren's brain unless he received regular doses of counteragent. And since only The Agency can produce the counteragent Darren needs to survive, he's now essentially a captive employee.

Hero Type (Select one):
Secret Agent

Power Level (Select one below):
1. Street Level (Ex. Punisher, Daredevil)


Powers (Be Specific):

Darren can secret a light-refracting substance called quicksilver from the pores in his skin. Whatever he coats with quicksilver, including himself, becomes invisible. The effect is temporary unless he continuously maintains the flow.

Attributes (Select one at each category):

Strength Level: Normal Human

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Better than Normal Human (being a thief requires excellent reflexes)

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: Normal Human

Agility: Better than Normal Human (being a thief requires excellent physical skills)

Intelligence: Above Average

Fighting Skill: In Training

Resources: Average

Weaknesses:
After using enough quicksilver, the buildup in his brain begins to breakdown his higher functions and his inhibitions, causing intense pain and pushing him towards insanity. And even if he doesn't use it, it just builds up slowly, still leading to the same issue. Hence his reliance on counteragent.

Supporting Characters:
Darren's partner and friend, experienced agent Bobby Hawkes
The Director, head of The Agency
The Doctor, chief scientist and medical expert of The Agency
Elbert Alberts, chief toadie and anal retentive assistant of The Director

List a few reasons why you've created that character: I loved the tv show this character is totally not based on in any way. He's fun to play in fits in quite nicely with the CaH universe.

What can you bring to the RPG?: Great sex. And the character I've been working on since last season.

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):
Too long. I was invisible for way too long. And now it's become a blinding pain, and I lay on the floor fighting through the haze while I slap my pockets trying to remember where I put that eppy pen.

"Dammit!" Still patting my clothes, I force myself up and stumble to the bomb. No way I can try defusing it now. Even as the wave of pain passes, I don't want to have my hands digging through wires when the next one hits.

"AHA!" I pull the pen out and hold it in triumph, take a breath, and jab it into my thigh. The relief washes away the pain in my leg and I sigh with satisfaction.

"Oh, right. The bomb."

And the timer has pretty much counted down.

Have to slow it down. Stop it. Buy myself some time. But how do I give myself the time to get inside and slow it down without first getting inside to slow it down.

"...Nah, that's a crazy idea." I've done it before, but not like this.

"What the hell do I have to lose? Except my sanity...and maybe my life."

I put my hands on the bomb and let the quicksilver flow. I know quicksilver gets cold, absorbing all light and heat. Now I'm about to find out just how cold I can get it. And see just what that little shot in the leg has bought me.

The quicksilver gives me a peek inside at the devices guts. And I can see exactly what I needed, according to the plans the Fatman's friend gave us. I just need this damn counter to not trigger...Just. Stop. Ticking!

***

Hawkes pulls out his ringing cell while driving the van as fast as the old thing can manage. He glances at the number. "Cole? Cole, what happened?!"

"...Oh, nothing much. Took down a half dozen armed agents. Gave myself a booster shot in the leg. Froze a bomb and deactivated it before going all red-eye..."

"So you're good?"

"Well, if good means being on the floor, trying to ignore a phantom knife in my skull..."

"We're on our way, partner. You just hold on. The Doc's gonna fix you right up." He glances at her in the passenger seat.

"Thanks for making me sound like an addict. Now, if you don't mind...think...gonna pass out...now..."

***

"Darren? Darren? Can you hear me?"

I groggily focus on the voice in my head. "That you, Doc?"

"Glad to have you back with us."

"Ugh. What's the point of a hangover without the party beforehand?"

"You did good partner."

"Indeed," the Fatman's unmistakable voice adds.

"So it's all over, Charlie? Did we win?"

CIA Headquarters
Langley, VA

04/04/12
Intel Report #12494-02468-0248

Based on Al-Assad's recent activity (See intel report # 19840-9742), it is safe to conclude Al-Assad and his sixth wife are having martial troubles due to a visit at a cathouse in Dubai (see surveillance report #000812-7555) and Al-Assasd's ensuing venereal disease. It is currently unknown what disease in question he may have, but a CIA medial consultant has ruled out AIDS, Herpes, and Hepatitis B. If Field Asset 845 can procure a blood sample, the results could be made obvious. Regardless of the exact disease, a threat to leak the news to certain Jordanian news sources could serve as sufficient leverage to turn Al-Assad into a CIA asset.





"Hank," a voice said from the entrance to the cubicle. Hank Kelly turned away from typing his intel report and saw Chip, his cubicle neighbor at Langley. "I was on my way back from the breakroom when someone told me to come get you. Director wants to see you."

"What?" Hank asked, a shocked tone in his voice. "Why?"

"Hell if I know," Chip said with a shrug. "I'm just following orders, Herr Kelly," he said in a faux German accent.

Hank rolled his eyes and left his cubicle. He walked through the halls of Langley and up to the sixth floor. He was shown to Director Tennant's office.

"Mister Kelly," Tennant said with a smile from behind his desk. "Sit, please."

Six months ago, the middle aged man had been a four-star general, commanding all military forces in Afghanistan. Now, here he was in charge of the Company. Considering the last director was now sitting in the Pentagon, it wasn't a bad choice as far as career directions were concerned.

"Anything I can get you? Coffee? Tea?"

"No, sir," Hank said nervously.

"Relax," Tennant said with a laugh. "It's not one of those meetings. How are things, Hank? How's your father?"

"Good... on both accounts," he said. Hank was a bit suspicious about the amount of care the Director was taking. This was the first time they had talked. And the question about his father... well, everyone who knew who Hank's father was always asked about him. Hank was certain Joe had called up Tennant and told him all about his son in the CIA as soon as it was announced the general was taking over the Company.

"Tell me, Hank. What do you know about superheroes?"

"People in capes," Hank said with a shrug. "They fight each other and leap over tall buildings in a single bound."

"Right. Well, the government agency known as STRIKE was gutted, its director went bat-**** crazy. STRIKE was responsible for looking after the capes. They got way too involved. Congress, the Pentagon, and the White House are all in agreement that the problem with STRIKE was that it was responsible for everything cape related. With that agency going up in flames, the government is spreading the burden around to other agencies. Including the Company. Starting next week, there will be a new division. Metahuman Observation and Surveillance Section. MOSS. I want you to head it up."

"Me?!" Hank said, shocked. "Why?"

"Because you're a solid intelligence officer. Your analysts and insights are spot-on. With the work we'll be doing with the capes, that type of analysts will be needed. It's a small unit, in fact you're only one of two agents. Your job is to watch and gather intel on as many capes as you can. These people out there are operating without impunity. They need to be watched and in certain dire cases, they need to be taught a lesson. That's where your partner comes in."

Just then, the door into the Tennant's office swung open. Both men turned to see a tall, muscle bound man walk in.

"There he is. Hank Kelly, meet Wilton Slade. Former superhero, and a special consultant with the Company. He knows the superhero game like the back of his hand. He's your partner in MOSS."

"So," Slade said. "When do we get started?"

Speech Color (Actually say what you're using, don't go "Like this", or what not): Verdana. When she has shape sifted and speaks she will use normal font with purple coloring

Character Alignment: Hero/Villain/Walking the Line : Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality (Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations): Eve has a wicked sense of humor and sarcasm but she does have an analytical mind (think James Bond). She will look at a situation with logic and reasoning and then take action with a quip. Eve believes in fighting for justice and the rights of the oppressed. Though she has made peace with what has happened to her there are times she is frustrated by what has happened to her and she misses her humanity. (She’s a cyborg!)

Uniform/costume: Think a combination of Cyclops and Daredevil’s costumes. Eve’s costume is an advanced design in costume. It looks like black with silver trim around it and a silver visor around her eyes, so when you get down to it looks pretty simple. However it resistant to extreme heat and cold, bullets, water, electricity, and low levels of radiation.

Origin Info/Details: Cassandra Yates was a former CIA operative who got tired of the bureaucracy of Washington DC. She felt she could do so much more good on the local level so she resigned and joined the Lost Haven Police Department. She quickly worked her way up the ladder and eventually became one of the best undercover officers, but her investigation into the Michaels Investment firm changed her life forever.

It was suspected that the Investment firm was involved in a laundry list of crimes and Cassie was handpicked to investigate them. Then just as she was about to nail them with every indictment in the book Cassie was framed for several crimes she didn’t commit including the murder of a federal informant within the firm.

The evidence against Cassie was over-whelming and the verdict was very quick. Guilty of all charges and sentenced to death by lethal injection. All her appeals and pleas of innocence fell on deaf ears. Then came the day of her execution, she was injected with the syringe, and declared dead by the state.

However Cassie didn’t cross over to the other side instead she woke up on a metal operating table with her arms and legs restrained in the basement of an abandoned building. She met Deacon Hawk and Brother Paul of "The Society." As Deacon Hawk called it, "The SWAT unit for the Roman Catholic Church." The R-C felt it was time to begin getting involved with the MetaHuman Community and Eve is seen as their in-road into that community. She has stopped many street level crimes with the aid of an advanced Motrocycle called The Serpent. Deacon Hawk watches over Eve and advises her and gives her assignements as needed. Brother Paul is the one who takes care of the cybernetic aspects of Eve and upkeep on The Serpent.


Hero Type (Select one): Eve is kind of a combination Muscle, Speed, Gray matter, and shape shifter. She is a Cyborg!

Power Level:

World Level

Powers (Be Specific): Eve has super-human strength and speed. Her mind is part organic part computer giving her advanced intelligence. Eve does have shape shifting ability in the sense that her costume is lined with microscopic sensors that allow her to assume the appearance of anyone she has seen even for a second, and if she has heard their voice she can also sound exactly like them right down to the vocal imprint.

Attributes (Select one at each category):

Strength Level: 100 tons. She can lift two hummers with each arm without any issue.

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: She can run up to 100 MPH (but not for long distances).

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: 12 Hours, but it does take time for her to recover.

Agility: 10X inspite of cybernetics Eve’s agility is not super-human, but certainly not normal.

Intelligence: She is Super-Genius thanks to her computer enhancement. Without it she is only above average.

Fighting Skill: Eve is a trained level fighter thanks to her days at the CIA and her time on the Police force, but she is not a fighting master however she can hold her own in hand to hand combat

Resources: Large! To keep up her equipment she needs them, and her backers (The Roman Catholic Church)are able to help out where necessary.

Weaknesses: Her brain is a computer which means it’s vulnerable to all other computer problems such as viruses, being hacked and other issues. If her computer brain is tampered with her human half will know it but not be able to do anything about and if they are not dealt with quickly she will die. She also must lay perfectly still for one hour each day to allow her systems to recharge, reboot, and diagnostics to be run otherwise her systems will start to show signs of wear. Her cybernetic limbs while powerful can be damaged.

Supporting Characters:

Deacon Hawk: Deacon is somewhat of a man of mystery. He wears all black and dark sunglasses and has a deep voice. He represents Eve’s backers (The Roman Catholic Church) and he gives her assignments when her services are required by her backers. Otherwise he observes and reports what he is seeing with Eve and has no issues with Eve wanting to go out and stop street crimes to keep her skills up. Their relationship is one of professionalism and respect and Hawk usually indugles Eve in her sarcastic remarks and humor, but when it comes to his work Hawk is all business.

Brother Paul: Paul is a young monk who is cybernetics/electronics expert. His responsibility is to keep Eve in perfect working order. Before he became a monk Paul was a top-flight Government weapons designer, but as time went on Paul began to become depressed and ashamed of what he was creating. He left the private sector and sought to join the Priesthood. He was on his way but he could never get weapons designing out of his system, and The society took noitce. Eventually he was recruited and was taken under the wing of Deacon Hawk and saw where his skills could be used for the betterment of all. The relationship between Paul and Eve is one of back and forth bickering at times, but underneath the arguing it is also one of deep respect and caring and Brother Paul is occasionally able to make Eve smile when he pulls one over on her. (Think Spock and Bones.)

List a few reasons why you've created that character: 1)I’ve never played anyone like Eve before. 2). I’ve played a villain for so long. 3) The struggle between her humanity and cybernetic side opens the door for some interesting story telling.


What can you bring to the RPG?: I’ve been here since 2004 and I’ve played with many of the RPGers so I’m familiar with the group. I’ve also been RPGing for 30 years so I bring LOTS of experience.

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

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):

Eve is resting on her recovery table at The Church when her Neural Net alerts her to a break in at the local Diamond Exchange.

Well so much for a quiet night.

She gets up and Deacon Hawk asks, "You got the alert about the Diamond Exchange?"

She says as she heads to The Serpent, "Yeah I'm on it."

Deacon Hawk says, "Be careful. A crew hitting the Diamond Exchange is probably pros. You gotta assume their well armed"

Eve says looking back flexing her arms with a smile, "I bet I'm better armed than them."

Hawk shakes his head as she walks towards the garage area and Brother Paul is working on The Serpent.

Paul says, "Be careful with it Eve you scratched the rim on your last assignment at the dam. This isn't cheap."

Eve says getting on the motorcycle, "Hey it was no day at the beach for me either. If you remember I almost got pounded by several tons of water besides you fixed it good as new."

Brother Paul says, "I know but I wish you would take better care of it. One day your cavailier attitude will get you in trouble."

Eve touches the sides of Paul's face and says, "Thanks for your concern dad, and I'll call if I'm out past midnight."

She starts The Serpent and her visor now now transforms into a helmet covering her flaming red hair.

Eve says, "Serpent plot me the quickiest route to the Diamond Exchange and execute."

The Serpent takes off into the night as Eve's Nueral Net gives her the information on the Diamond Exchange and surveilence information on the crew in quesiton.

5 crew members with automatic weapons and advanced thieving tools. Peice of cake.

When she arrives on sight she engages the Serpent's whisper mode, and sees only one crew member in the van.

Eve uses her shape shifting mode and assumes the look of the crook in the van. She approaches the van and the crook says, "What the?"

Eve says (in the crook's voice), "Ahh thanks needed I needed to hear your voice."

She then quickly punches out the crook in throws him in the dumpster. A few minutes later the other four come out of the Diamond Exchange.

One of the crooks says to Eve, "All-right get us out of here!"

She moves to the driver's seat and then quickly dives out. Eve then shape-shifts back into her normal self and picks up the van and slams it down twice.

Eve opens the doors and sees the crooks are shaken and disoriented. Eve says, "Time to join your friend!"

She carries each one quickly into the dumpster and dumps the dumpster on it's side so they cannot open it from the inside. Eve then hears the police sirens approaching and she says, "On the bright side you five will smell so bad nobody in lock-up will bother you."

Eve hops on The Serpent and heads back to The Church.

Character you have created: Adam Phoenix
Alias: Arron Collins

Speech Color (Actually say what you're using, don't go "Like this", or what not):Century Gothic

Character Alignment: Hero/Villain/Walking the Line: Villian

Identity: Secret/Known: Kind of a combination of both. (The Origin will explain it all)

Character Personality (Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations): Adam is very cold and calculating. He enjoys the finer things in life is very disciplined and focused in any task that he sets out to accomplish and it is not enough that he succeeds but all others must fail. Adam loves power and all the trappings that come with it and will destroy anyone that will try to take away what he feels belongs to him.

Uniform/costume: Briefly describe or post a picture of what your character's costume looks like: Adam doesn't wear a costume. He is usually in a set of sweats because he stays behidn the walls of his sprawling estate called The Phoenix's Nest. However when he does venture out (VERY RARE!) he has a specially made Armani to accomidate his large boday. (He is about 8 Feet Tall and well over 500 Pounds all of it muscle).

Origin Info/Details:

Arron Collins was once a member of The Society like Deacon Hawk and Borther Paul. He believed in the mission of The Society and appreciated making a difference. A brilliant mind and skilled negotiator he was the poster child for everything you would want in a team player. Arron designed many of the tools and tech for The Society. If there was ever a Hall Of Fame for Society Members Arron would be a first ballot Hall Of Famer. As brilliant as Brother Paul is Arron taught him so much more, and Deacon Hawk viewed Arron as a Father Figure.

After a while though Arron grew tired of not only not getting the credit he felt he deserved, but also the "play-it-safe" attitude of The Society Members concering the area of human development. Arron started taking secret risks and treatments using himself as a lab rat. He experiemented with PEDs and Steroids to an unhealthy extreme and eventually became a danger to himself and others. He became a massive giant with increased intelligence as well.

Deacon Hawk and Brother Paul were tasked with taking Arron into custody. They faught along with 20 other Society members and Arron was eventually subdued. While Arron was being transported to a secured location he escaped and wrote in the van in the blood of the guards, "Vengence one day!"

Arron went into hiding and began to develop his own technology firm called ColTech with the help of a disgraced Governement Agent named Edwards. Edwards changed his name and appearance to Colter and he changed Arron's name to Adam Phoenix. It was agreed by both men that Colter would be "The Face" and Adam would be the power behind the throne. Arron chose the name of Adam Phoenix because Adam was the first man in creation and Phoenix symbolizing new life. This would one day be a very subtle message to The Society whon Adam has sworn will pay for what has happened to him and not recognizing his greatness and he is obsessed with destroying Eve.

Hero Type (Select one):Brick/Muscle

Power Level (Select one below):
3. World Level

Powers (Be Specific):

Adam possess superhuman strength and intelligence

Attributes (Select one at each category):

Strength Level:
100 tons.

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 50. Adam does possess above average speed but his reactions at his size are not that great.

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: Adam's endurance level is at about 5 hurs. However he can wear down easily and at his size it takes a long time to recover.

Agility: Adam's agility is above average but his size makes his manuvering somewhat an issue.

Intelligence: Super-Genius.

Fighting Skill: He is a great brawler but he has no trainning in fighting styles or techniques. Adam is a brute and uses brute force.

Resources: Extreme! He is one of the wealthiest men in the world. Think an evil Bill Gates.

Weaknesses : Inspite of his size and strength and intelligence Adam is mortal. It would take more than a couple shots but if someone unloaded 6 shots from a 44 that would do it. Adam also must undergo what are called "Treatments" twice a day. Each one lasts about 30 minutes and these keep his muscles from continously growing. If they grow anymore eventually his vital organs will not be able to support him. He also has to wear dark glasses. His eyes are so sensitive now because of the drugs he took that prolonged exposure to light causes him great pain.

Supporting Characters:

Colter: Colter is Adam's private valet. He is his one of the few people who see Adam and he is "The Face" of ColTech. The name of the company that Phoenix owns and makes all his tech through. The Public thinks Colter is Arron Collins and since he is a handsome and charming man he is perfect. (If the public actually saw Adam they would be horrified)

List a few reasons why you've created that character: 1) Villians are fun! 2) Having someone with a connection to The Society and to Eve makes for some interesting dynamics. 3) This RPG needs more villians!

What can you bring to the RPG?: I've been playing for over 30 years and I am familiar with many of the players here.

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

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):

Adam is lifting an entire Nautilus Gym Set for a workout as Colter enters the room.

Adam says, "Impressive appearance today. You looked as though you were enjoying giving those nuns that check for their orphange."

Colter says, "Thank you sir. I hated that had those disgusting little orchins touching me though."

Adam replies, "Comes with the territory Colter. You want to enjoy the good life and the respect of the larger world you have to give them something to latch onto."

Colter says, "Quite right sir. How goes the progress on your latest project if I may ask?"

Adam replies, "It's going well. Her Neural Net is impressive but Brother Paul is still using many of the same tactics and methods I taught him."

Colter asks, "How much longer?"

Adam replies, "Not much longer. Soon vengence will be mine and The Society will be brought to it's knees and their Golden Child will be upon the scrap heap!"

Colter says, "I have no doubt about that sir. Do you have any further need of me right now? I need to get some rest before the Charity Banquet for the Lost Haven Fallen Police Officer's fund, and I want to take time to read over the speech you wrote for me."

Adam replies setting the Weight Set down, "No that will be all for now. Make sure my next treatment is set to go in the next 20 minutes and have any new Eve footage uploaded to my tablet."

Colter bows and leaves as Adam goes back to working out.

Character you have created: Kyle Porter

Alias: Lyger

Speech Color (Actually say what you're using, don't go "Like this", or what not): Dark Blue Veranda

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality: Kyle is a laid back teenager, who despite having a somewhat difficult upbringing would be described by most as being carefree for the most part.. However, he does have a tendency of getting overwhelmed, and that can sometimes cause him to get into a bit of a funk, which can be difficult to pull him out of.

Uniform/costume: Briefly describe or post a picture of what your character's costume looks like: Lyger wears a black body suit that is marked with orange “tiger stripes.” He also wears a black mask that covers his entire head, which is adorned with a pair of catlike ears.

Origin Info/Details: Kyle Porter has had a hard life by some standards. His mother died when he was a young boy and never really got to know her. He was raised by his father, who never got over the death of his wife and mostly found comfort in the bottom of a whiskey bottle. He went through much of his life in relative obscurity, never popular at school, however not really unpopular.
His life changed once he enrolled at Lost Haven University. He became relatively popular on campus, he even started to date an upper classman.
However, his life would change even further one night while he was on his way back to the dorms after a party. The car that he was riding in was struck by a drunk driver, and Kyle was severely injured. He required emergency surgery as well as a blood transfusion. Little did anyone know that the blood he received contained the meta gene, and when the blood mixed with his own, he began to develop special abilities of his own.

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.

Attributes (Select one at each category):

Strength Level: 1 ton.

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 45 MPH.

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: 2 hours.

Agility: 15X,

Intelligence: Average

Fighting Skill: Untrained

Resources: Average

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 has the same weaknesses as a normal person. He is vulnerable to illness, injury, and even death.

Erin Walters-Girlfriend
Ronnie Chang- Best friend, tech wizard
Jack Porter- Kyle’s father
Max Bradshaw- CEO of Bradshaw Industries
Various villains, classmates, and other characters who will be described when introduced

List a few reasons why you've created that character: This is a concept I’ve had for awhile, and will give me a chance to do something that I haven’t really done in this game before.

What can you bring to the RPG?: A new character and lots of experience...did I mention...I’m the GM? :p

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

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):

Kyle Porter sits up in his hospital bed as the nurse enters his room and takes a few last minute readings before the hospital can send him on his way. He is anxious to get out of the room that has been his home for the last week. He has never particularly liked hospitals, and after spending a week there, he is in no rush to come back anytime soon.

There was a knock on the door and suddenly he saw the familiar features of Samantha Myers pop into the room. His oldest friend looked around for a moment before entering.

"Just wanted to make sure you're decent." She quipped as she approached his bed.

"Yeah. I'm good to go. Just waiting to get the OK from the doctors." He said.

Sam took a seat beside the bed as Kyle packed the few possessions that he had in the hospital room into a small plastic bag. After several long minutes, the nurse came in and told him that the last tests came back clear and that he was free to go.

"Awesome. Let's head down to the lobby and wait for my dad." He said cheerily.

"Um...your dad can't make it. He had to fly out to Pacific Point last night for business. He asked me to come get you." She said, somewhat apologetically.

"So...you're my ride?" He asked.

"You're quick, aren't you?" She said with a grin.

"Oh great...first the crash and now this....Somebody really wants me dead." He joked even as she smacked him on the arm as they made their way down the hall.

Hey guys,

I'm gonna be out of town through the weekend.

IC thread is up and we are underway. Have some fun, and I should be back around Sunday sometime.

[Erin]

Just tied up a loose end with Pinup in the IC thread. Going to start posting this week, hopefully (visiting family, so I'm not sure how much time I'll get online)

[wiegeabo]

Thanks you Hound. I was gonna ask if you wanted to play along, and you end up doing it anyway better than I imagined. Which can only mean one thing...

You're a telepath.



GET OUTTA MY HEAD!!!!!!

[Hound55]

Somehow I've gone from writing a single character to inheriting an entire team...

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys,

Sorry I've been away so long...my trip lasted alittle longer than expected. I'm using a friend's computer right now, but I'll be back sometime tonight.

[NiteMare Shape]

and I'm back. I'll probably be getting a post up tomorrow

[NiteMare Shape]

House I moved into might lose electricity......

might be out for a little bit. Trying to figure something out. I'll be in touch.

[sabetoonth]

Okay, really, gonna get my app up today. Im taking a leave of absence from active RP on this one site were the character muse has had gears lock up on it.

[NiteMare Shape]

hey guys, quick update...

Power at the house I just moved into has been shut off. I do have the ability to get online, but my access is limited (it's a computer shop in town). I'll be limited in my availability at least for the remainder of the week, though I am looking into the possibility of moving again.

So just bear with me for a bit until I get things straightened out, but things should be back to normal(ish) within a week or so.

And I'll try and get a post up when I can.

[wiegeabo]

I'll try to get a post up tomorrow. Been busy.

Damn you Tribes Ascend!!! :argh:

[Hound55]

I'm going to get something up later tonight.

Just finished first assignment and pretty amped to write about something that isn't contemporary political philosophy right about now...

[Erin]

But why would you NOT want to write contemporary political phi - ... you know what? Ask a dumb question...

[NiteMare Shape]

But why would you NOT want to write contemporary political phi - ... you know what? Ask a dumb question...


:woot:

I'm hoping to be into a new place by the end of the week, so once that's taken care of things should be relatively back to normal...

[unstoppable]

Hey guys, it's been awhile since i last posted on these boards and I'm hoping to get back into some online role-playing. If you'll have me I'll have an application up in a day or two.

[Erin]

Hey guys, it's been awhile since i last posted on these boards and I'm hoping to get back into some online role-playing. If you'll have me I'll have an application up in a day or two.

I guess if you post your app we will see if we'll have you... though we're all pretty easy around here (especially Nightmare. He's kind of a ****).. so... I'd say your chances are pretty good.

[Hound55]

"Tonight" turned into "in 5 nights' time" for me, but it's there now.

My EeePC power cord is broken if you're wondering about the delay. Frankly, I blame Erin...

I acknowledge that the language in the last post was a little blue in places (also pink, white on black, teal... hyuk, hyuk, *guffaws*) but I maintain it was in character and I am going somewhere with it...

[NiteMare Shape]

So I'm hoping to have everything resolved shortly. I have a place lined up if I want it (thanks to a lovely lady friend of mine....) I'm just waiting on some final details to be ironed out, then I can get back to posting regularly again. Thanks for bearing with my while I get this ****eshow worked out.

You'll be happy to know then that the problem was not with my EeePC's power cord, but with the computer itself, which just stopped working. Apparently the brand has a habit of doing that. It usually happens around the two year mark - known by former users as the "Two Year Problem." Suddenly something in it just goes "Okay, I'm done" and nobody seems to know what or why.

And by happy to know that, I mean you'll be happy to know that I have had a netbook shaped paperweight since December, but will finally be getting a replacement by the end of the week (had to wait for taxes and tax returns). But it will mean that I will once again be around more often.

[NiteMare Shape]

Quick post up, not overly thrilled with it as it was a bit of a rush job, but things will be getting back to normal soon.

Character you have created: Samson The Mighty/ The Youngster

Alias: Sam Osborne

Speech Color: Gold, Italic

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality: Sam is a warm hearted kind of guy always willing to put others before himself. He likes to stay in the background trying not to be seen. Can be shy at times until he gets to know a person.

Origin Info/Details: His story begins on planet Zarrton. Sam’s real father Xon was known as a High Knight. On the planet Zarrton a High Knight is the king’s top soldier. The King had called Xon to his throne room after hearing the news that his High knight child hasn’t been born yet. It only takes Zarrtonian women 3 weeks to have their children and it’s been 5 weeks and Xon’s wife hasn’t had hers.

When a knight has a child he is automatically pledge into the knight’s army, unless the child is born as a sincraft. (Sincrafts are Zarrtonian’s born with a defect. The Zarronian race has a unique ability to age to the state when their bodies will be in its prime. When a Zarrtonian woman child is not born within three weeks this is a sign that the baby will be a sincraft. For the Zarrton race if a child is born a sincraft it is put to death no matter what along with the mother.)

When Xon approached the king’s throne room he went in on a kamikaze mission. His pride wouldn’t let him lie to the king so he knew that there was only one thing left to do. He knew he had to try and kill the king because if he didn’t the king would automatically put his wife and unborn son to death. So Xon went in with the intentions of killing the king and anyone that would dare stand in his way. Once in the throne room he told the king that his child wasn’t born yet. The king told him that this means only one thing that his wife and son must die. Knowing this Xon prepared himself for battle. Xon fought with all the other high knights knowing he was fighting a losing battle but this didn’t bother him none all he had to do was buy his wife and unborn child some time. Xon gave everything he had to every punch and kick slam he deliver till he saw the sign he was looking for. Through all the chaos he looked to the sky and saw his wife escaping on a ship. Once seeing that he gave up fighting now that he had pushed his body way passed its limit holding off the other high knights. As the king was about to deliver the fatal blow he notice that Xon was laughing and as he looked closer he seen a remote detonator on Xon’s wrist. Xon knew that even that if his wife got away on a ship heading to another planet that wouldn’t be enough. There is a good reason why sincrafts were put to death and Xon knew why. Knowing this on the third week when his child still wasn’t born he had went around the world planting bombs on critical points on the planet.


Before the king could even move to stop Xon he had pressed the button blowing the entire planet away all to save his only son.

Xon’s wife space ship had crash landed on the planet Earth. When she landed she had sensed with her special ability that she had been notice and people were on the way to capture her. She did the only thing she could do and that was run. While running she knew that at any moment she was going to get captured in a matter of minutes and the only thing that mattered to her was unborn child. She also had sensed that when she crashed landed that her ship had force someone else close by to get in an accident. While running she came across a woman who was trapped in a flipped over red truck unconscious. She quickly flipped the truck back over and ripped the driver side door off. She placed her right hand on the ladies forehand and the other hand on her stomach. A blue color glow came from the alien woman’s hand and went into the lady. All of the ladies injuries had healed. The alien woman then ran off as she finalized at the last second that the group that was after her was closing in. As she went to run away it was to late, they had caught her.

A month later the lady in the red truck had found out she was pregnant. This was a miracle to her and her husband being that before the accident she wasn’t able to have any kids. They didn’t know why or how she was able to have this kid now and they didn’t care they were just happy that they were having a baby. During the course of her pregnancy, Janet had lost her husband Jim. Jim was a police officer who had got killed on the job. So after her husband past away she moved to the country because she figured it would be a better place to raise her son.

Sam has grown up to be a good person with just him and his mother taking care of each other. At the age of 15 that’s when Sam’s powers began to manifest but he never really truly knew what was happening to him. Some day he would be a little faster or he would be a little stronger. Each day it was always different. His powers came to full play on his 17th birthday. He was telling one of his friends about the changes he was going through. During the conversation Sam’s mother had got into an accident. Her car was trapped between a van and a tractor-trailer. Seeing his mother in danger Sam had finally awakened his true power inside. He got his mother out of danger. He also noticed that he was a bit different. He stood in front of his mother not a 17 year boy but a grown man who looked as if he was in his early thirties. At that moment after saving his mother’s life he knew then what he had to do with his life.

After that event that took place he decided to become a super hero. He found one of his father’s old hoody and he sown a mask inside the hood. From that day forth he went by The Youngster. His first act of super heroism was when he saved a group of people from a bus that had a bomb on it. From that day he knew that this is what he was meant to do.
Just like every hero he has went through bad times and for him it was him losing his mind. As he got older and his powers began to get stronger his alien natural began to manifest making Sam more violent and having more of a killer instinct. Sam went on a rampage going to the point where he was hospitalizing criminals. If it wasn’t for his idol Icon Sam might have crossed the line and may have never been able to come back from it.
Once Sam has got back to his senses he decided to take a break from being a hero. So for a couple of months he cut himself off from people and stayed to himself and focus on himself mentally. After he felt that he was ready he rejoined the Guardians.
Now older and more experience Sam has decided to become a part time member of the Guardians as he now has plans to venture off and begin his own team.

He gains the powers of Invulnerability, Flight, Super-strength, Accelerated Probability (which allows him to slow down time, analyze which action to take, and then do so at a superhuman speed), Electric Manipulation, Decisive Memory (Anything that he has ever learned seen or heard from the day he was born stays in his mind as if he had just received the information. With this he has the ability to search through his memories as if he were re-experiencing them referred to as a holographic memory), Reverberation Vision (This is a two in one power. Reverberation vision uses his super hearing to not only hear from a far distance but also see beyond the human eyes. As the bouncing of sounds and vibrations off the surroundings enable him to see what's happening. If he would use his power to listen into a room next to him, as sound bounces off objects or people in the room. In his mind he is painted a picture of the layout of the area and the people in the room would be seen as just a black figure. Now with his Decisive memory if he happening to be listening to a person talk. Instead of just being an image of a body he will see their face only if he has seen the person face to face and heard them speak.)

List a few reasons why you've created that character: Well he was like my own version of Superboy. When I first at the idea of him I was going in the direction of him being a sidekick type but as time gone by he somehow became more than that, he grew into his own man. So I think it is only right for me to continue with him and take him to the next level.

What can you bring to the RPG?: Some good ideas. Another rpger posting for the CAH. You know the same as everyone else.

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

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):

While running I notice to the left of me that I pass a sign that read Lost Haven. A trip that would normally take 35 to 40 minutes only took me a couple of minutes to get to. This running at super speeds is just more than amazing. Not only am I running at fast speeds but it looks like a path is already set out before me and all I have to do is just fallow it. I move just at the right times to ease by passing vehicles.

‘This alone is remarkable, I wonder what other things I can do. Fly, lift cars over my head like there nothing.’ I thought to my self. Then as I was running my speed began to slow down to the point I was moving at average speeds. I stop in the middle of the street and look at the cars around and notice that they are not moving as slow as they were before. Before I could figure out what was happening everything went back to its original speed. The sound of a car slamming on its breaks brought my attention a head of me. I stood there not able to move just looking as the car was about to hit till the driver made a sharp turn to the right crashing into a pole. Others tried to avoid the car that crash into the pole but by doing so they did nothing but hit other cars causing a big accident.

While all of the chaos was going on I notice out of the corner of my eye that a black truck was heading straight at young woman who was dining at an outside restaurant as if nothing was going on. I knew that if I yell for her to look out it would be to late I would I have to get to her myself. Not knowing what was going to happen I took off running. I notice while running to catch the truck before it hits the woman that man speed wasn’t quite as fast as it was before. I pass the truck and as I do so my speed goes back to normal. The woman looks at me as I just appear right in front of her face. ‘My speed is gone there is only one thing I can do.’ I quickly grab her in my arms and get down on the ground using my body to shield her from most of the hit. I start praying to God that a miracle occurs.

I close my eyes and brace my self for impact. Then it takes place, the truck hits my back but shocking to me it doesn’t hurt. I feel the front of the truck cave in against my back. As the impact of the truck hit against me I look up and see the truck flipping up in the air. As it was passing by I notice debris hit the woman on her head. The truck lands on a bunch of tables luckily once people notice the truck coming they all ran out of the way so know one got hurt.

First thing I do is look around and make sure that what just took place wasn’t seen. As I take a quick glance I observe that no one seen the truck hit me. I feel the woman beginning to move in my arms so I look down and make sure she is alright. She starts shaking her head slowly and rests her hand on her forehead.

“Hey take it easy okay your head got hit by some of the wreckage from the truck but it looks like you’ll live.” I stay to her hoping she didn’t notice me run to her in super speed.

“I… who…wait…you? I saw you… there…here.”

From the jump I could tell the hit to the head had taken its toll. Nothing she was saying was making since. She waits a couple of moments and got her thoughts together.

“The truck I saw it hit you, head on.”

Dang she notice but maybe I can play it off since she did get hit in the head.

“If I did, I’d be dead. I ran to you to get you out of the way and then as I grab you another car had hit the truck sending it up in the air. That’s when we drop to the ground and a side mirror or something had hit you in the head. It must have given you some kind of imagination.”

She then slowly gets to her feet and looks at the truck and looks at blue Honda accord that was behind me and notice that the hood of it was damage. She didn't see that the Honda had got hit by another car and lost control and just happened to end up next to us.The evidence around us was so convincing that she had to believe what I told her.

“Must have.” She said while rubbing her head.

As we were standing there three men came out of no where shouting and heading in our direction.

“Ms. Love are you okay did you get hurt?” One of them ask.

“I’m fine. Go get the car.”

Right away the men quickly did as they were told it was obvious she is a young woman with power.

“Looks like I have to go but I will see you later. Today is your lucky day.”

“Your injury, shouldn’t you stay till the ambulance gets here so they can check it out?”

She then leans in and kisses me on the forehead softly and looks me in the eyes.

“No need. I’ll be fine thanks to you.”

She steps back and smiles. She looks at me and then starts to walk away. As she is walking I notice a necklace on the ground. I grab it and see two L’s that must be initials that stood for something.

“Hey your…”

Before I can finish I notice that she was already gone.

Origin Info/Details:
Michael was an orphan and has been for as long as he can remember.

His birth mother, as was told to him, was to have been a spirited woman. Always keeping her faith in God, and living her life according to his plans, she was a parishioner of the local Cathedral. Her romantic life was not something commonly known, yet she gave birth to a child. Giving birth to him, however, she had died; Michael was sent to the orphanage. He didn't stay in the orphanage for too long, however. By the time he was 9, he was finally accepted into an adoptive family: The Angelos. As a child, Michael would grow up according to his adoptive family's lifestyle which just so happened to be that of any common family around the area: devoted Catholics. He took up a interest in art, and one day his teacher glanced at one of his pieces of work one day and said "Wow, Michael Angelo, you're a real Michaelangelo" and the nickname stuck. It never bothered him, however. The nickname was something that he accepted easily.

Many Catholic schools around the country have different times when they allow a young man or woman to take the sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation is the conferral of sanctifying grace and the strengthening of the union between individual souls and God. Little did Michael know, that his Confirmation would become so much more than that. On the day of his Confirmation, he was given the duty of The Archangel.

It was not through a burning bush, or a voice to his head, it was through an angel. The morning day of his Confirmation on Sunday, Michael was visited by the Angel of Prophecy: Bath Kol. The angel told Michael about the task of The Archangel, but the young man was so much in shock about it, that he believed it to be a dream. But the moment that Michael went up to the altar later that afternoon before The Bishop to complete his sacrament of Confirmation, he felt something change in him; but he did not quite understand what.

Recently he had found out that the truth behind his "purpose" was all a sham. An orchestrated plot by an angel wanting revenge on his creator as it was revealed that Bath Kol had simply been waiting for the time where Michael would be worthy and powerful enough to rescue St. Michael the archangel from his prison in Hell. Once he received the lost angel's blessings, Bath Kol took action to steal Michael's powers from him, and attack Heaven in attempt to recreate the world in what he deemed to be pure and free of sin.

With Bath Kol's plans thwarted, Michael is told by St. Michael the archangel that he and the other Archangels had agreed: they wish to continue to bless Michael with the 3 blessings of God channeled through them. And that he simply...can live life how he sees fit finally.

He is blessed by the Archangels of God's heavenly domain. On each day, he receives a different blessing (passive powers). His powers are categorized into 3 main blessings:


The Pax Dei (Peace of God) - This allows him to communicate with the Archangels which bless him for their counsel: Gabriel (Monday), Michael (Tuesday), Raphael (Wednesday), Zadkiel (Thursday), Ariel (Friday), Uriel (Saturday), Metatron (Sunday).



The Salus Dei (Salvation of God) - This allows him to heal upon committing the act of prayer. His Healing abilities are limited by the Will of God. He can heal grave injuries, but if it is God's will that said person dies, his healing will have no effect for example.



The Cordis Dei (Spirit of God) - This is his most commonly used of the blessings as this allows him control over the Elements of Creation: Fire (Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday), Water (Monday, Tuesday, Sunday), Earth (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), and Wind (Wednesday, Friday, Sunday).

The Pax Dei and Salus Dei are passively always available to him, and he can also sprout his angel-fire wings at will as well. But in order to tap into the Cordis Dei, he must fully transform into The Archangel State. Also when in this state he can summon forth St. Michael the Archangel's firey sword (The Sword of the Spirit).

On Sundays, he is at his most powerful. Not just because he can harness all 4 elements at once, but because he is blessed by the strongest of Archangels on this day: Metatron.

Attributes:
(Note that Michael has finally found out how to tap into the potentials of his abilities as he learned that he can exceed his limits the more Faith he has in himself.)

Strength Level:
30

Speed/Reaction Timing Level:
30, 80 on Sunday

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort:
3 hours, 5 hours on Sunday

Agility:
10X, 20X on Sunday

Intelligence:
Average

Fighting Skill:
Mastered

Resources:
Average

Weaknesses:
When not in the Archangel State, while still able to passively tap into 2 of his blessings and has some imbued strength and endurance, he is not nearly as powerful when in the Archangel State. Used to be powerless on Tuesdays until he rescued St. Michael the archangel from Hell.

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


Flux - New Girlfriend. Also fellow teammate of The Guardians.
Father Damian - Priest at the local Cathedral. Frequently helps Michael when he goes into the Church, feeling lost. He is also going to be Michael's mentor as he tries to understand his role as The Archangel.

List a few reasons why you've created that character:
I originally wanted to make a healer type of character, so immediately thought of an angel like character. When it came down to really thinking about it, I decided I wanted a character who was blessed by the angels. When I went around trying to find information, I stumbled upon information about Archangels, and I knew this is what I wanted to work with. I happen to be Catholic, and the idea of a hero like this appeals to me. And also because I am Catholic, I figure I can portray and define who he is well. I figured it would be interesting, because I was pretty confident that a character such as this would never be brought up or introduced.

What can you bring to the RPG?:
To be honest, I just feel I need to tie up where the character was left off. Sadly I became inactive when some really important stuff went on. I need to clearly state his current...well, state. Then if I can stick around I will. But leaving some stuff unanswered just bugs me.

I typed this in the "what you think you can bring to the rpg" question, but I need to emphasize this because my time still sucks: this is going to be temporary as of right now.

Character you have created:
Michael Angelo

Alias:
Archangel

Speech Color (Actually say what you're using, don't go "Like this", or what not):
Gold, Georgia Font

Character Alignment: Hero/Villain/Walking the Line
Hero

Identity: Secret/Known
Known

Character Personality:
Humble spirit, but takes action when he has to. He understands that he has been bestowed with powers that have potential to be very destructive, and controlling those powers at times ever since the Invasion has caused him to somewhat fear himself. He can be a smart alec, and sometimes treats the entire thing as a game which is a strength as well as a weakness.

Uniform/costume: (Briefly describe or post a picture of what your character's costume looks like)
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/8010/agnusdeiarchangelredesi.png

Origin Info/Details:
Michael was an orphan and has been for as long as he can remember.

His birth mother, as was told to him, was to have been a spirited woman. Always keeping her faith in God, and living her life according to his plans, she was a parishioner of the local Cathedral. Her romantic life was not something commonly known, yet she gave birth to a child. Giving birth to him, however, she had died; Michael was sent to the orphanage. He didn't stay in the orphanage for too long, however. By the time he was 9, he was finally accepted into an adoptive family: The Angelos. As a child, Michael would grow up according to his adoptive family's lifestyle which just so happened to be that of any common family around the area: devoted Catholics. He took up a interest in art, and one day his teacher glanced at one of his pieces of work one day and said "Wow, Michael Angelo, you're a real Michaelangelo" and the nickname stuck. It never bothered him, however. The nickname was something that he accepted easily.

Many Catholic schools around the country have different times when they allow a young man or woman to take the sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation is the conferral of sanctifying grace and the strengthening of the union between individual souls and God. Little did Michael know, that his Confirmation would become so much more than that. On the day of his Confirmation, he was given the duty of The Archangel.

It was not through a burning bush, or a voice to his head, it was through an angel. The morning day of his Confirmation on Sunday, Michael was visited by the Angel of Prophecy: Bath Kol. The angel told Michael about the task of The Archangel, but the young man was so much in shock about it, that he believed it to be a dream. But the moment that Michael went up to the altar later that afternoon before The Bishop to complete his sacrament of Confirmation, he felt something change in him; but he did not quite understand what.

Recently he had found out that the truth behind his "purpose" was all a sham. An orchestrated plot by an angel wanting revenge on his creator as it was revealed that Bath Kol had simply been waiting for the time where Michael would be worthy and powerful enough to rescue St. Michael the archangel from his prison in Hell. Once he received the lost angel's blessings, Bath Kol took action to steal Michael's powers from him, and attack Heaven in attempt to recreate the world in what he deemed to be pure and free of sin.

With Bath Kol's plans thwarted, Michael is told by St. Michael the archangel that he and the other Archangels had agreed: they wish to continue to bless Michael with the 3 blessings of God channeled through them. And that he simply...can live life how he sees fit finally.

Create a Hero RPG SEASON IV Application

Character you have created: David Gregory Mullins

Alias:The Negotiator

Speech Color (Actually say what you're using, don't go "Like this", or what not):System italicized when thinking.

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality (Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations):To those who know him David is nothing short of a warmhearted and care-free individual with an unusually large appetite for knowledge. Once they scratch the surface however,it becomes apparent that David is a man adamant in his beliefs of good over evil with the strength of mind to see through whatever obstacle comes his way. Though quite the calculating person,David has a tendency to over think things,this coupled with his innate fears of his ever growing mental powers has made him quite paranoid in his day-to-day life. He is 6'1 Caucasian with an athletic build, short black hair, sporting a scar across his cheek from his first days as a hero.

Uniform/costume: Briefly describe or post a picture of what your character's costume looks like: A black trenchcoat with "N" stitched over the right breast,steel-toed boots,sunglasses. He often wears a vest coated in a home brewed chemical which makes it highly resistant to small arms fire.

Origin Info/Details:Born and raised in a Virginian suburb, David's easy going personality earned him passage in most social groups of his youth. Even in his youth David had an insatiable thirst for knowledge unheard of among his peers.When most children would be seen hanging out with friends or playing outside, David spent most of his times in the local library trying to quench his thirst for knowledge.Simply put school came exceptionally easy for David, graduatiing from High school at the age of 14.It wasn't until 2 years later,after getting a Compuer Science scholarship at Lost Haven University, that his life changed forever.One day, while studying for multiple exams,David to began hearing voices.At first he thought he was just tired,having spent most nights in either the University's library or trying to find new problems for his brain to solve, but it much more complex than that. When attempting to solve the problem David discovered that he wasn't going crazy, in fact quite the opposite, he realized that he could read people's minds.Being a man who could not stop at just scratching the surface of what could be a very interesting skill, he dove deeper into his overgrowing psionic capabilities. Upon further experimentation with his fellow students he learned that he could not only read a person's mind, but alter it in a variety of ways even making one overconfident jock to cluck like a chicken much to the bemusement of the rest of the LHU football team. Life came pretty easy to David for the most part, he acquired quite a few friends with his engaging personality and even starting dating a medicine major named Katherine,after over a year of dating he even managed to tell Katherine about his remarkable mental abilities. David soon learned all the University had to offer him, managing to receive various degrees in computer science as well as criminal science, as well as a professor- level of understanding in various others in little under 5 years. After graduating at the top of his class, he started his own business as the owner and operator of a PC repair store in Lost Haven, which became quite successful given the owner's knack for technology.As time went on David became quite bored with his life as just another guy working a regular job in a not so regular city He was always fascinated with the growing number of meta humans popping up around the world and never missed and opportunity to watch the news or roam the internet for information on these would be "superheroes". After months of contemplation he decided that maybe his great mind was meant for more than just fixing broken computers.

Hero Type:Psychic/Grey Matter

Power Level:City Level/World Level

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): David possesses a very powerful mind making him very intelligent, his brain also processes information at exceptionally high speeds allowing him to solve complex equations and a matter of seconds or read multiple books as quickly as he can turn the pages. His intelligence also gives him a photographic memory. He is also a telepath of moderate power allowing him to read minds and even alter the minds of others.

Attributes (Select one at each category):

Strength Level: Normal Human

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Normal Human Speed, Reaction time significanly higher than average do to mental quickness.

Agility: Normal Human

Intelligence: Super-Genius

Fighting Skill: Trained. Mostly Self-taught after reading countless self-defense manuals combined with his Intelligence makes him a serious threat to most non-powered individuals

Resources: Large, he does own a store

Equipment: The aforementioned costume as well as state of laptop/camera phone and all that one would find in a computer shop. 2012 subaru outback

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):All the vulnerabilities of being human, he also has a knack for over thinking things.It should be noted that although he has super human reaction time that doesn't mean his body can adjust to the information as fast as his brain can(He can watch a bullet fire from a gun but may have trouble dodging it with his human body)

Supporting Characters:
Katherine Bates: Along time college sweetheart and girlfriend. She very worried about the danger David puts himself through and often functions as his voice of reason.

Travis South: A local boy David hired to work at his store, has no idea that David is a super hero.

List a few reasons why you've created that character: I've always been fascinated with Superhero RPG's and the idea of playing a super genius really appeals to me. I'm hoping to create an interesting story with my fellow RPers

What can you bring to the RPG?: The wonders of the human brain.

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):

"Like a glove"

David stood there in his bedroom, admiring how well his costume looked in the mirror.He's spent days awaiting this very moment, and now he finds himself looking in the mirror while Katherine sits on the bed with a large grin on her face.Most of the equipment, the pants, boots,etc, was easy to get ahold of;because when you live in a city where people walk about shooting death beams and throwing cars at each other, there's a high demand for survival gear.The vest was a different story entirely,getting the chemicals to form a protective layer over the vest was the easy part, having to explain to his girlfriend why their kitchen table was dissolved in chemicals was another thing entirely.

"And you tell me I spend to much time in front of the mirror."

"You still do, but that doesn't mean I don't look good in this"

He does a few more poses in the mirror before turning around to face her.

"How do I look?"

She walks over and wraps her arms around him.

"You look like the hero that Gotham deserves."

They share a laugh and a quick kiss.

"Are you sure you're ok with me doing this?"

"Eh, as long as it gets you outta the house and away from my non-melted furniture "

She gives him a halfhearted smile and embraces him.

"I don't have to read your mind to tell that you're worried"

They remained there for a moment, locked in a tender moment. It wasn't along until he could hear the muffled sobs from his shoulder. He could not bear that sound so he led with mind into his beloved's.

Please don't cry babe

He pulls her away and looks her straight in the eyes, pointing at his temple.

"You'll be in here the entire time ok?"

She wipes the tears from her eyes and smiles,this time it's genuine.

"Just be careful alright? "

"I'm always careful babe"

"And try not to ruin that coat of yours it took me 3 hours so sew that."

She traces the outline of the freshly sewn "N" on the trenchcoat.

"You still haven't told me what that stands for."

In due time love, in due time"

"I love you"

"Love you too"

He departs from his department via the stairs and ventures to his vehicle.Upon entering he immediately flips a switch on an old police scanner in the passenger seat, and drove off.Wondering where to start off David decides to venture downtown.

After three hours it became apparent that it was gonna be a long night. All that was on the scanner was petty crimes that were already being dealt with by either the police or the various metahumans in the area.David realized that scanner was useless now and turned it off. Instead letting his mind scan his surroundings for strong negative emotions. Not even twenty minutes passed when it hit him. Greed. Greed and Desperation flooded his mind. It made his stomach churn but he knew that was his target,he narrowed his mind and focused on those emotions.There was something very wrong here, and even though he thought it was corny....There was evil afoot.

Hey Gang,

So after a long time with not having a computer, I am back, only to find out that I have been locked out of my email accounts (mostly for inactivity). Aaaaanyway, it means that I've once again set up a new account and gotten a new Windows Live ID.

So if you want to chat, PM me with your ID and I'll add you.

I might try to get a post up tonight. I've actually been on the verge of dropping out of the games, at least for a while, because of lack of time and any desire to post at all.

And a quick announcement.

With her return to the game, Erin will be resuming her role as AGM.

Anyone who was around last season is well aware of what she brings to the game, and I'm thrilled that she was interested into stepping back into her old role.

I'm working on getting app and posts done for here asap. just busy all across places

[wiegeabo]

Well, it shouldn't come as a surprise, but I'm dropping out.

I have ideas, but not the desire or energy to actually write them down. Maybe if things calm down for me over the next couple of months I'll be able to come back. But no promises, because those never work out.

With Wieg recently dropping out of the games, that left us with an opening for an AGM, which has been filled.

He's someone who's done a great job as a player in the game and has done a bit to help keep things moving along while I was in transition. So please welcome your newest AGM Hound55.

Create a Hero RPG SEASON IV Application

Character you have created: Sean Abbott
Alias: Mantis

Speech Color: Green Tahoma (Sean) / Bold Green Tahoma (Mantis)

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality: Sean is still young enough to be pretty idealistic. He truly believes in a world where evil is always punished and good always prevails. He's dedicated to his 'work' as Mantis, and nothing can sway him from the mission. At the same time, though, he doesn't allow himself to get too serious. He can appreciate the fact that he's dressing up in green tights and beating on thugs. There's humor in that, and Sean embraces it.

Origin Info/Details: Sean was born with latent genetic mutations, but they were unactivated. One day, after smoking, chemicals in his bloodstream jump-started those mutations. Sean's abilities manifested, and it freaked him out - naturally. He was more than content with trying to live a normal life, but when tragedy struck home (in the form of his girlfriend's accidental death) Sean realized that life was too short. If he could do something to save other people his pain, he would. Thus started Mantis.

Hero Type: Acrobat

Power Level: 2. City Level

Powers: Enhanced reflexes, increased agility, increased flexibility, super-jumping, superstrength, ability to stick to walls, enhanced eyesight and hearing, bio-electric blasts (aka "stingers"), a malleable exoskeleton which extends from his body.


Attributes:

Strength Level: 20 tons.

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 60 MPH.

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: 3 hours.

Agility: 15X Human level.

Intelligence: Average.

Fighting Skill: Untrained.

Resources: Minimal.


Weaknesses: Sean's a young adult, just starting college. His life is already crazy enough without the superpowers and the crime-fighting. As such, he can have a hard time juggling everything. Also, if his enemies were to ever learn his identity, so much of Sean's life would be at stake. Like most heroes, Sean is determined to save lives - even at the cost of letting the bad guy get away.

Supporting Characters:
Brooke McFadden: Sean's high school sweetheart who now attends Bristol College in downtown Lost Haven. The two have separated but remain close friends.
Vince Daniels: one of Sean's oldest friends who is now a classmate at Lost Haven University.
Abby Smith: a one-time crush and Vince's girlfriend. She remained in Carver to attend community college but occasionally visits LHU.
Chris Lee: Sean's freshman year roommate.
Jim Harrison: Sean's best friend and the first person to know Sean's secret. Jim moved to Boston for college, but he keeps in contact with Sean.
Vicky Abbott: Sean's older sister with whom he is very close.
Sergeant Nicholas Hampton: Mantis' closest confidant within the police force. He remained in Carver while Sean moved to downtown Lost Haven. Mantis still comes to him for help at times.
Dr. Milton Reed: a renowned physician specializing in metahuman physiology. He worked for the now-defunct Superhuman Detainment Squad (SDS).


List a few reasons why you've created that character: Truth be told? Mantis was my personal version of Spider-Man. I wanted to make a superhero character, and not intentionally - though not accidentally - I created one with all the typical Spider-Man traits: youth, humor, bad luck, spider-like powers. However, I've since realized that I love Mantis for Sean and his supporting cast more than his alterego. Sure, he's still a superhero, and I still have fun with that, but it's his interactions with his friends and family that I really enjoy.

What can you bring to the RPG?: Intricate coming-of-age stories with realistic characters at the heart. Oh, and I'll kick some criminal butt now and again, too.

Create a Hero RPG SEASON IV Application

Character you have created: Phillip Farley
Alias: Amazing Man

Speech Color: Blue Verdana for Phil, Bold Blue Verdana for Amazing Man

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality: Phil is the quintessential everyman. A bit of a slacker and a diehard comic geek, he's the model of a "nice guy." He has a wild imagination and unflappable optimism. He's extremely virtuous, and he views the world in very black-and-white terms.

Uniform/Costume: EDIT:
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u118/EBJ05/amazingman.png

Origin Info/Details: Our world is one filled with heroes. Some hail from other worlds, possessing natural superhuman powers. Some are born human but through unlikely chains of events they become something greater. Then, there's Phillip Farley. His life is an unspectacular one and doesn't merit much discussion. Almost thirty years-old, he's done nothing of value with his life. Stuck in a dead-end job, dumped by any girl who ever gave him a shot, Phil doesn't have much to look forward to in the morning.

Until today.

Inspired by the stories of valiant heroics all around Lost Haven and the world, Phil has decided to become a superhero (http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?p=18601767&highlight=amazing#). Teaming up with a mysterious inventor known only as "Merlin," Phil outfits himself with high-tech gadgetry which helps him simulate superpowers. He performs his masquerade as Amazing Man, Lost Haven's newest - and most unlikely - hero!

Hero Type: Normal/Tech-Based

Power Level: 2. City Level

Powers: Phil is equipped with a variety of devices intended to mimic superpowers. His gauntlets increase his strength. His suit can generate an anti-gravity field which allows him to fly. His gloves are fitted with miniature Tesla coils and flamethrowers. He's always trying out new things, so you know never quite what he's going to run into battle with.

Attributes:
(Note: Attributes are based on tech enhancements.)

Strength Level: 20

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Normal Human

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: 3 Hours

Agility: 5X Human Level

Intelligence: Average

Fighting Skill: Untrained

Resources: Extreme

Weaknesses: In the end, Phil is just a normal guy. When his devices fail him, he's just as weak as the rest of us. Personality-wise, he's uncompromising in his morals. He won't let innocent people get hurt, which is something his enemies can use against him.

Supporting Characters: Kevin Korver, Phil's coworker and fellow geek. "Merlin," the wunderkind inventor who designs Amazing Man's gadgets. Mrs. Stamp, Phil's elderly landlady. Rebecca Carson, Phil's smokin' hot ex-girlfriend. Ed Wesley, comic book shop owner. Mr. Turkin, Phil's intimidating boss.

List a few reasons why you've created that character: I've always wanted to see a character who pretends to have superpowers. I understand that Booster Gold is roughly based on that concept, but I wanted to take it a step further. Phil really tries to convince people that he has powers. Also, he doesn't have the benefit of being from the future.

What can you bring to the RPG?: Amazing Man is going to be good ol' fashioned Silver Age fun. For instance, note some of the alliterative names. Amazing Man takes us back to a day when good guys were good, bad guys were bad, and the former always beat the latter in the end. As for Phil, his life is going to have all the feel of a good slacker movie.

Create a Hero RPG SEASON IV Application

Character you have created: Blackwind

Alias: none

Speech Color (Actually say what you're using, don't go "Like this", or what not):

Character Alignment: Villain

Identity: N/A

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

Blackwind is a being capable of doing nearly anything he wishes, yet prefers to allow others to do his dirty work for him, whether it be willingly or not. He is manipulative and controlling, yet charismatic. He is used to having a large number of people following him, much like a cult leader. He rules through fear, and enjoys reminding those around him why they should fear and respect him. He believes that he is destined to rule, and is willing to do whatever it takes to rule not only this dimension, but all of them...becoming the ultimate power is the universe.


Uniform/costume: Briefly describe or post a picture of what your character's costume looks like: http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo63/NMShape/48691-bigthumbnail.jpg

Origin Info/Details: Blackwind is an interdimensional being who claims to be as old as time itself. In that time he has traveled to numerous worlds making his presence known. Often, he is worshiped by the populace of these worlds as a god. On the rare occasion that he has met resistance from the people of a world, he has conquered it by force, subjugating the populace to his rule.

He first traveled to Earth many millenia ago with plans to conquer the world, and thus adding it to his vast multidimensional empire. Once on Earth, he presented himself to the ruler of the cultural center of the ancient world: King Atlas of Atlantis. At first, Blackwind was welcomed as a messenger of the Gods, a perception that he did not discourage. After gaining the trust of the Atlanteans, Blackwind finally made his move, destroying King Atlas and his royal guards and seemingly conquering the capitol.

After the fall of Atlas, Blackwind was recognized as a living god and the true ruler of not only Atlantis, but of all of the world. There was to be a coronation at the Temple of Poseidon, in which Blackwind was to be bestowed with the ultimate weapon, the Seal of Poseidon, which was a ring that would give its wearer unlimited power.

However, Blackwind was deceived. The Seal of Poseidon was a mystical ring that was used to imprison demonic and other evil entities. Once Blackwind put on the ring, there was a blinding flash of light, and Blackwind was vanquished, trapped between this dimension and the next, unable to get a foothold in either. However, the Atlantean's victory did not come without a price. The forces used to imprison Blackwind caused the earth to shake, and the skies turned black as a result of the eruptions of nearby volcanoes. Eventually, a massive wall of water came racing toward the island continent, crashing down upon its shores devastating the population. Then, after several more large earthquakes, the city sank beneath the waves.

With Blackwind banished, his vast empire deteriorated, until finally his holdings were liberated and he was essentially forgotten, leaving his reign as little more than myth.

During his imprisonment, Blackwind eventually learned to communicate with those in this dimension, using his influence to get his disciples to find the key to his release.

Finally, after millenia of waiting...they are close to unlocking the mystery of Blackwind's freedom.

Hero Type (Select one):
Supernatural

Power Level (Select one below):
4. Cosmic



Powers (Be Specific): Immortality, Superhuman strength, telekinesis and pyrokinesis, invulnerability. Blackwind can enhance the powers and abilities of those around him (at will). He is also capable of traveling between dimensions. He is a healer, and also has the ability to seemingly disintegrate a target with a powerful energy blast from the palm of his hand. There are also other abilities which will be explained as they are introduced.

Attributes (Select one at each category):

Strength Level: 100 tons.

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 10,

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: 5 hours.

Agility: Normal Human, 5X,

Intelligence: Genius

Fighting Skill: Trained

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 (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):

Supporting Characters (Does your character have a significant other? A mother? Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?): Blackwind's supporting characters are his lieutenants Forsaken, the living android Helos, and Allura. Other characters will be described when introduced

List a few reasons why you've created that character: He's a character that I've had in mind since the first season of the game, and I have teased him several times throughout the history of the game, and I think that he's a character that I can have alot of fun with.

What can you bring to the RPG?: What'chu want?

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


Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):

The man known only as Forsaken sat alone behind the vast computer array in the underground bunker that he and his compatriots have used as a base of operations since they were forced into hiding after being defeated on Nautican Island several years before. Since that day, they have remained here hidden away from the outside world, only venturing outside of the walls of their sanctuary when they were commanded to do so by their master. Though, he has been more reluctant to send them off since the death of their comrade Riot at the hands of Icon and the traitor Haze.

Since that day, they have been on virtual lock down, the master not wanting to risk losing another of his lieutenants, especially when they were so close to freeing Lord Blackwind from his eternal prison. Their master had waited millenia to be free, to escape the hell that he had been damned to when he had been trapped between dimensions. And he had promised them that they would be gods among men when he was finally free.

Of course, they had been skeptical, but then he showed them what he was capable of, even as a mere phantom in this reality. Lord Blackwind had imbued them with his own power, magnifying their abilities tenfold. He had explained that while he was trapped between dimensions he was limited in what he could do, but that when he was finally free, those who stood beside him would be justly rewarded, and that this “little gift” as he had called it, was only the beginning.

And now they were on the verge of finally freeing him.

It had taken some time, but they had at last located a source of power that contained enough energy to momentarily break the thin veil between worlds, opening a portal that would allow Lord Blackwind to finally gain a foothold in this reality. And when that day finally arrived, nothing would ever be the same again.

“What news do you bring me?” A voice boomed from behind the console. Forsaken did not have to turn to know the source, but he did anyhow.

“We’ve found it my Lord. The skull is currently the property of the British Museum, however...it is on loan to the Metropolitan Museum in New York. We should have little trouble retrieving it.” He humbly answered.

“Go then, take Richter and Helos. Leave nothing to chance, bring me the skull, and when I am free...I will rule this realm with you at my side.”

Hello everyone. Real life kind of swamped for a while but I'm back now...ready to get back in the swing of things.

Character you have created: Noah Walker
Alias: Acrobat

Speech Color: Blue

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality: Noah is is a huge geek, especially when it comes to superheroes. He tends to be sort of hard to reach personality wise, because he’s shy and doesn’t make friends easily, but underneath all that is a kid who just wants to have friends and maybe make the world a better place while he’s at it.

He can also be very, very protective of people he considers his friends, and would do anything for them – even though he’s often terrified by his super-heroics, he keeps going, determined not to let anybody down.

In the six months since he started adventuring Noah has become much more outgoing, keeping up a stream of banter and insults at his opponents when he fights. He is constantly updating his twitter with both statuses and videos of his crime-fighting.

Uniform/costume: http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/1560/acrobatredesign1.png

Origin Info/Details: Noah’s mom was a strung out druggie who found herself pregnant at the ripe old age of 15. Desperate to get her hands on anything that could get her high, she signed up for an experimental and possibly slightly illegal medical treatment that involved taking several different shots of experimental chemicals. She continued the treatment until she could no longer hide her pregnancy, then stole as much of the stuff as she could and took off. When Noah was born he seemed to be completely normal, but was taken away from his mother and sent to a foster home.
Noah came to love his foster family, as he had never known any other, and refused to take his mother’s last name, even after a vicious custody battle between her (now clean) and his foster family. She gained visiting rights every other weekend and full custody over Noah’s autistic younger brother.
When he was 16, Noah discovered his unique abilities during a basketball game, where he made a slam dunk from the three point line. (over two defender’s heads) He attempted the secret hero act for a while but was eventually found out by his family, who surprised him by fully supporting his super-heroics, even if they were worried sick.

In the six months since being shot by STRIKE droids and meeting the Guardians, Noah has been far more active in the superhero community. He maintains contact with the Guardians but has not officially joined them, as he is too preoccupied with finding and shutting down the men who began the experiments that gave him his powers.

Hero Type: Acrobat (duh)

Power Level: City Level

Powers: Noah posses the ability to manipulate gravity, though at this point in time is only capable of manipulating his own (and anything touching him, depending on how large it is). He can make himself lighter or heavier, allowing for increased speed, incredible agility, and powerful blows. He can also change the direction gravity pulls on him, allowing him to walk up walls and across ceilings. At later dates he may also gain the power to affect Gravity around him, though he does not posses this ability at the moment.

With tech support from both the Guardians and his older brother Michael, (now working at Galloway Labs, a high tech research facility) Noah has gotten his hands on some technology that has helped him fight crime more effectively. His gloves and boots can absorb and redirect kinetic energy, meaning he is free to hit things as hard as he wants without worrying about shattering his own bones. His hood has a police radio and a built in flashlight for low-light situations.

Attributes

Strength Level: Normal Human, though by lessening the weight of an object he is touching, Noah can lift up to 40 tons.

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 40 MPH.

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: 3 hours

Agility: 20X Human level

Intelligence: Average

Fighting Skill: Trained

Resources: Average

Weaknesses: Despite his powers, Noah is still a 16 year old boy, and subject to all the squishiness that comes with it. His best bet is avoiding super strong opponents, and even a single bullet can seriously wound or even kill him.

Supporting Characters:
Connor Trent: Noah’s best friend since he was little. An exceptional athlete, he is now aware of his best friend's superhero identity.

Dani Smith: The girl Noah’s been in love with since fourth grade. Very smart and considers Noah a good friend.

Kate and Joseph Walker: Noah’s foster parents. They love him like their own son and are very supportive of everything he does, but are also strong moral compasses.

Michael Walker: Noah’s older foster brother, a huge science nerd who built a tesla coil when he was 14 because he was bored and there was instructions on the internet. Is now working at a high tech research facility, Galloway labs.

Lucy Walker: Noah's younger foster sister. The first to discover Keith was acrobat, Lucy often calms him down when he fears he’s over his head and is very level headed for a nine year old.

Caroline Daniels: Noah’s real mother. Their relationship has improved slightly but Noah is still angry at her for her earlier actions.

Charlie Daniels: Noah’s younger half-brother, and the only reason Keith goes to his mom’s every other weekend. Is four years old and a mid-functioning autistic.

The Guardians: Noah's personal heroes and role models, the Guardians have helped keep him focused an on track, as well as helped train him to be a little less incompetent.

List a few reasons why you've created that character: Because I had a lot of fun with him in the last thread and want to bring him back.

What can you bring to the RPG?: Stuff. Awesome stuff.

Sample Post:

You have got to be kidding me... Noah thought to himself.

Twenty minutes into being a super-hero and he was already about to die. And not in a blaze of glory either - in a pathetic attempt to stop a bank robbery by some guy who had been kicked out of megalomanic academy for being too full of himself. And the professionals - Archangel, the Blue Blur...they made it look so easy.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!" DeathRay shouted from below, and Keith could hear more shots of whatever kind of energy he created whizz through the air and eat through the ceiling. When Noah failed to respond he spoke again. "I'm tired of playing games, little boy. Come out now, or I start killing hostages."

Sonuvacrap.

Noah dropped to the floor from where he was hiding, his powers subconsciously slowing him down before he broke both his legs on the cold stone. "C'mon DeathRay," he said, putting both hands into the air. "I give. Just don't kill anyone."

"You see?" DeathRay shouted to the assembled crowd of hostages. "I knew he would surrender! No man can stand against the might of DeathRay!" He stalked towards Keith proudly, his hands glowing with more acidic green energy. "Now I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget."

Noah's eyes widened and he began to back away - and then something that looked suspiciously like an expensive high heel hit DeathRay in the back of head.

"Get away from him you stupid freak!"

DeathRay spun to face the crowd, his face contorting in anger, and Noah took his opportunity. He felt his body get lighter, and as he pushed off the ground he shot towards DeathRay, slamming into his back like a human cannonball. DeathRay hit the ground with an oomf, and Noah brought his hand up, increasing the gravity around it tenfold. His fist dropped straight into DeathRay's face, and Noah heard a satisfying crack right before DeathRay fell unconscious.

"I am..." Noah said, struggling to his feet and panting heavily, "the man. That is all. Have a good day."

Approved, glad to have you back

[Nicodemus]

Thanks. it's good to be back.

[NiteMare Shape]

I'll have some posts up soon, I have a busy couple of days coming up, but I'll try to get something in.

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys,

I just received some bad news and I might not be active for the next couple of days. I will try to get on for approvals and the like, but I don't think I'll be posting.

I just found out that a very good friend was killed early this afternoon and I have some things that I need to take care of. I'm going to try to get out there for the funeral, but I don't know that I'll be able to get there in time for it.

So just bear with me for a few days.

Create a Hero RPG SEASON IV Application

Character you have created: Elijah Tobias Stokes (I added the middle name just this season)
Alias: Inferno

Speech Color (Actually say what you're using, don't go "Like this", or what not): Tahoma, dark green, bold as Inferno

Character Alignment: Walking the Line(He's kind of brutal in beating down criminals)

Identity: Secret to the masses of the Earth, known to the demonic world

Character Personality (Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations):
Elijah in straightforward, when he goes to do something he does it, beat down a gang of thugs, rip through any obstacles to save people or preserve safety in what he sees as his city. And he doesn't pull his punches too often. He stays calm more often then not, but when he does loses his cool, becomes aggravated, it causes him to act and think more rashly. His catholic upbringing had instilled the base values of right and wrong. He tries to keep to himself to limit targets for his enemies, he knows there are entities among the demonic ranks who would use people against him for their own ends. Not that he avoids people entirely, he still needs to talk to people to operate in both his life and as a vigilante.

Uniform/costume:
http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/3879/infernoredesign2.png


Origin Info/Details:
Elijah Tobias Stokes is the son of a mortal woman and the devil. Yes, the devil, the great adversary. Satan. He never felt normal, never felt like the other kids or other people. What he didn't know was that he had dangerous power. Not only what he himself could do. But his blood should it spilled on the frozen lake in the ninth circle, will melt the ice and Lucifer will escape. He moved to New York and got a job as a journalist, which didn't last long after the Arlaaekean Invasion. He got fired. Then hired by the Museum of Natural History in NYC. While working the night shift the museum was broken into and there was an attempted robbery. Elijah tried stopping the thieves. But when he found himself facing a line of men armed with firearms, he blacked out after they fired and woke up in his apartment. Back at the museum, the bodies of the thieves were found in the most ghastly condition, one could say ground hamburger summed up the look of much of the remains. Since then Elijah:
-Has been hospitalized.
-Told his father was Satan
-Met the being who would become his mentor in the use of his powers: The Grim Reaper.
-Got a job so to speak running occasional errands for the Reaper's human alias who ran a moderately sized company.
-Became somewhat of an urban legend with a nasty reputation for beating and in cases maiming criminals he encountered.
-Got jumped by two demons named Lilith and Belial
-Got his ass beat by said demons
-Got his ass saved by The Grime Reaper while putting up a fight
-Was told he was part of a prophecy regarding the fate of the world, not the one about his blood. He still didn't know that one.
-Joined forces with Archangel and Cerberus to form the Prophets of the Unknown
-Went to hell
-Had his thoughts invaded by the cries for release of the damned souls in the frozen lake
-Shut out the voices in his head and engaged a fallen angel in one on one combat
-Beheaded said fallen angel
-Helped release Archangel Michael from Hell
-Helped fight Bath Kol in Heaven
-Got back to Earth and took a cab home
-Got chased by STRIKE drones
-Saved a woman from human trafficking ring
-Destroyed three STRIKE drones and saved a kid
-Left said woman at the cop shop
Since the end of the season Elijah has:
-Developed a working relationship with his friend Mitch's cousin who is an NYPD officer
-Looked into increasingly strange occult crimes.
-And he lost Grim
Hero Type (Select one):
Supernatural (Divine agents, Vampires, werewolves, Cosmic deities)

Power Level (Select one below):
2. City Level (Ex. Spider-Man, Cyclops)

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):

Attributes (Select one at each category):

Strength Level: 60 Tons

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 70MPH

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: 2 hrs

Agility: 10X

Intelligence: Average

Fighting Skill: Trained

Resources: Average

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): If you are strong enough, if you can manage to take down the hood while he is in his demonic form Inferno goes berserk. It takes strength however of level exceeding 80 tons. It is Supernaturally gripped to his head.

Supporting Characters (Does your character have a significant other? A mother? Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?):
Mitchell Laurence- Elijah's best friend, anymore he is his only friend. He still has his job at the newspaper the Burning Sun.
Sarah Stokes-Elijah's mother.
Jennifer Ferguson-Mitch's Police officer cousin, she doesn't know that Elijah and Inferno are the same person, but has met them both. Inferno multiple times over the past six months, he has a tendency to drop by her apartment to talk about what he's seen and vice versa in attempts to solve recent occult crimes.

List a few reasons why you've created that character: I failed doodling the Darkness in 5th grade and the doodle became this character. And then I wrote a short story in 10th grade with him too.

What can you bring to the RPG?: A fire flinging, bat winged, violent cambion? And demons. There may also be pizza in it for ya.

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


Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):
(Still getting back into the writing groove, so its back to third person for me.)
Elijah flipped through a few pages of the book. Months ago, Many months ago it almost felt like it had to be a year, Grim disappeared and strange things started happening around the city. Not to mention he was always getting closer to shutting down that human trafficking ring he found out about right around the same time the disaster at the Guardians HQ occurred. He had started using both of his personas at first then simply fading his true self out of his investigation. Mostly. Just the way people tend to fade out of people's lives. But not quite entirely.

He had first come to Jen with the information he had, claiming to have gotten it from an old informant from his days as a journalist and he thought she should know. And then working a little more actively in the take down as Inferno. So far they only had very limited information on the heads of this thing. There's more than one, they are very feared by those who know who they are and wont talk out of said fear. What they know mostly had come from Inferno beating the less resilient into submission. Still, even with a reputation that over did his brutality, his swiftness. He was not getting much. And neither were the NYPD who were starting to pick up on having a vigilante doing the same thing they were.

The book wasn't being any help as he flipped through it and skim read. One of the goons had said something about "black magic voodoo hoodoo crap" and the lead was the maybe the best he had but that stuff cropped up all over this city through the entire history of it. There was no way of turning up a good solid lead from that intel.

"I see you next time you come looking for a strange old tings?" The shop owner, friendly old Russian called out to him. It wasn't a book shop that he had been in. Occult shop in downtown. Think of a toy store, but stocked with all things occult and supernatural. Not the media kind. Though plenty of people came through looking for that. Very little was dangerous. In the hands of someone who knew what they were doing.

"Uh...yeah." Snapping out of his trance of thought for a moment. "You know you will Al." His thoughts were not in the store as he threw up on his face a smile for the old Russian, he was trying to pull something together to go off of. He feels like he needs it. Inferno, if people know its him, could become more than an urban legend, he's not a figment of the imaginations of criminals who've been beat senseless. He's real. He is very real. As should be evidenced by the destruction caused when he was chased by the STRIKE drones. But well...New Yorkers. If it doesn't kill at least ten people and/or take out a whole city block they don't notice.

And neither were the NYPD who were starting to pick up on having a vigilante doing the same thing they were.

The book wasn't being any help as he flipped through it and skim read. One of the goons had said something about "black magic voodoo hoodoo crap" and the lead was the maybe the best he had but that stuff cropped up all over this city through the entire history of it. There was no way of turning up a good solid lead from that intel.

"I see you next time you come looking for a strange old tings?" The shop owner, friendly old Russian called out to him. It wasn't a book shop that he had been in. Occult shop in downtown. Think of a toy store, but stocked with all things occult and supernatural. Not the media kind. Though plenty of people came through looking for that. Very little was dangerous. In the hands of someone who knew what they were doing.

"Uh...yeah." Snapping out of his trance of thought for a moment. "You know you will Al." His thoughts were not in the store as he threw up on his face a smile for the old Russian, he was trying to pull something together to go off of. He feels like he needs it. Inferno, if people know its him, could become more than an urban legend, he's not a figment of the imaginations of criminals who've been beat senseless. He's real. He is very real. As should be evidenced by the destruction caused when he was chased by the STRIKE drones. But well...New Yorkers. If it doesn't kill at least ten people and/or take out a whole city block they don't notice.
Approved.

I can also absolve sins, stamp parking, provide access to the President, marry people off and under certain strict conditions send people to the Phantom Zone.

However, like all employees, they still don't tell me the combination to the safe.

Speech Color (Actually say what you're using, don't go "Like this", or what not): Teal, Bold, Franklin Gothic Medium

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality (Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations): Kensei is a honorable warrior who puts the lives of others ahead of his own. He is a stoic figure, rarely opening up to people, save his only friend (descibed later in supporting characters). Kensei tends to be blunt and to the point at times, which can rub people the wrong way at times. Due to his training he is a respectful man, but it is difficult to gain his trust. Once gained however, you will find Kensei to be a generous, good hearted soul with, surprisingly, a decent sense of humor though he rarely lets it show.

Uniform/costume: Standard Samurai Armor

Origin Info/Details: He is the ancient japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, and his life story is the same as that of his real world self. However, he did not die as he appeared...at least not as we perceive it.
His spirit traveled to Takama-ga-hara, The High Plain of Heaven, and was met by the god, Izanagi. The Sky-Father of the Japanese pantheon was here to honor the swordsman for his deeds on the mortal plane. Though he did not die in battle, Musashi was still an honored warrior and was spared a life of eternal rot in the Yomi (the Underworld). Izanagi was going to grant Miyamoto Musashi a great honor, one never before bestowed upon a mortal.

Izanagi granted him the title of Kensei, sword saint, for his prowess in battle, and offered for Musashi to become his agent on Earth. Musashi could not say no to a god such the Primordial Sky, and agreed to the offer. Izanagi smiled and placed his hand on Musashi's spirit form, imbuing him with the power to carry out his mission. Musashi would become Izanagi's hand on the mortal plane. He would be the Hunter of the Gods, seeking out the evils of the world and sending them back to Yomi.

Musashi's spirit was taken by Izanagi and rushed back to the material plane where it entered the young body of a recently slain samurai on a now quiet field of battle as an enemy was about to take it's head. Musashi sudden awakening upon returning to the mortal coil, caused the trophy-seeking samurai to waver and flee in terror of what he beleived was a demon. Musashi payed him no heed, instead the warrior took in his surroundings and found sword laying before him on a cloth of silk. The sword was of amazing quality and bore no signs of wear or battle damage. The weapon seemed to glow with a faint white aura as a single ray of bright sunlight beamed down upon it.

Musashi heard a voice in his head, the voice of the sun goddess, Amaterasu. She bade him to take the sword as a gift from her and the gods. The sword was the legendary Kusanagi (Grasscutter Sword), and would be a great asset to Musashi in his quest. Musashi graceously accepted the weapon and placed it in his belt. When he returned his gaze to where the sword was, he saw that the silk and sunlight were gone. The warrior did not dwell on this, in fact he did not have time to. The samurai who ran off had returned with a small band of his allies to "slay the demon".
Musashi did not wish to harm them, and quickly ran away at speeds no mortal man could hope to match.

Musashi's travels took him to Echizen Province where he was taken in by a single father and his two daughters. When asked his name, Musashi thought on it and replied "Kensei", the title given to him by Izanagi. Over dinner, Kensei learned that the village he had taken refuge in was being terrorized by giant lizard-like creatures. The monsters would come in the middle of the night when the moon was high and terrorize the villagers. As they rampaged throughout the village, they would destroy crops, tear down buildings, and visciously kill any who got in their way. They were cold, remorseless creatures who came down from the mountain caves.
Kensei listened to the man's tale and agreed to aid the peaceful village in it's plight. The man was grateful, but scoffed at Kensei's claim, wondering what good one warrior will be against the monsters.

Night soon came, and Musashi quickly found out the man's story had been true. A dozen lizard-men stormed into the town leaving death and destruction in their wake, but they soon found themselves face to face with Kensei. The battle was bloody, but quick. When the dust settled only Kensei still stood, peices of the lizard creatures strewn around him. He had slaughtered them all.

The man and his family along with the rest of the village slowly made their way to the site of the slaughter. Looking upon Musashi's handywork, the villagers were both jubilent and horrified. Despite what he had done for them, none would approach Kensei out of fear. For no man could do what he had done. Finally though, the man who had took him in moved to stand before Kensei and thanked him, calling him a gift from the gods.
Kensei cut him off though. It wasn't over. It wouldn't be over until he hunted down the rest of the beasts and sent their dark spirits to Yomi.

Kensei tracked the creature's path through the forest. Somehow he could sense where these things dwelled. It was as though he could feel the evil aura these creatures emited. Soon Kensei came to a small cave, the presense of evil simply pouring from it assaulting his senses. Kensei entered, and a great battle ensued. One by one, the Hunter of the Gods stalked his prey and slew them. Soon he confronted the leader of the creatures, a great serpent demon. The demon attacked Kensei, mortally wounding him. But, to the serpent's amazement, Kensei's wounds soon healed and the samurai attacked once more.
The battle was brutal, but Kensei finally claimed victory when he lopped off the demon's head in one, clean stroke.

Kensei returned to the village and informed them that they did not have to fear the night any longer. That night they presented him a small feast in his honor, but Kensei quietly departed when no eyes were upon him.

Kensei traveled the land of Japan, slaying all manor of Oni and monsters, and saved hundreds of lives. Musashi slaughtered the Nue that tried to take the health from the Emperor, he defeated the Ama-no-jaku after it had killed and impersonated the melon-princess, and slew the Bake-kujira which haunted the coast of the Shimane Prefecture. There was no evil too great or too minor that escaped his divine wrath. As Japan grew older and became more modern though, the hero Kensei quickly fell into obscurity and his adventures into legend. He now makes his home in Yokohama where his gathered wealth has bought for him a large property on the city's outskirts. He lives on this property in a modernized version of a large pagoda in seclusion save for visits from his only friends and allies, Hideyoshi Kenshin and Ami Kenshin, whom watches over the property when Kensei is away.

But, despite this his quest did not end.

Musashi continues his work for the god Izanagi, slaying the creatures and followers of darkness wherever he may find them. He has survived through the centuries, a ghost in the modern machine. He does not exist, and it is debatable whether he ever did. His mission is neverending, but his methods have taken a more secretive approach due to the technology of this new age. It does not bother him though. Kensei does not seek glory or fame. All this legendary samurai wishes is to perform his task for his master and to save the innocent lives at peril.

And as long as there is evil in the world, Kensei will live on to eradicate it from existance.

Hero Type (Select one): Supernatural (Divine Agent)

Power Level: World Level

Powers (Be Specific): Granted powers by the Sky-Father of the Japanese pantheon, Izanagi, to become his chosen champion of the Earth: super-human physical abilities; ability to sense evil around him (30ft radius) as well as follow the trails of evil beings (provided the trail is still fresh as after an hour it will grow cold and dissapate); a healing factor (think wolverine); wields the Kusanagi (bronze-age style sword, double-edged straight blade blessed with divine power: can cut through anything, even magical enchantments (think Fable's Vorpal Blade); bonded to Kensei's spirit allowing the samurai the ability to summon the sword to his hand as long as they are both on the same plane of existance; enables Kensei to command the winds when in his possession from a simple breeze to a hurricane-force gale)

Attributes (Select one at each category):

Strength Level: 20

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 30 Mph (but bursts of up to 50 Mph are possible over short distances, but Kensei is unable to keep this speed for long)

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: 2 hours (Kensei was given super-human stamina by Izanagi to perform his task of killing otherworldly creatures)

Agility: 5X

Intelligence: Average (sciences & technology); genius (supernatural myths and legends, demonology, battle tactics, leadership, and the arts of war)

Fighting Skill: Mastered (Kensei is arguably the greatest swordsman that has ever lived, and is a master in many forms of armed and unarmed combat)

Resources: Large (over the centuries Kensei has aquired enough wealth and connections to allow him to further his mission without worry along with a handful of minor mystical artifacts he has liberated throughout the centuries*)

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 really, but, despite being blessed with divine might, Kensei is still a human at his core. He must eat, sleep, breath the air...everything a normal man must do. Thus he is succeptable to attacks that effect his breath (suffocating, gases, etc), as well as being able to be knocked unconscious as a human would (it'd just take a lot more force to do it). He can be killed, though it is uncertain what will happen if his death occurs...

Supporting Characters (Does your character have a significant other? A mother? Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?): Kensei grew tired of seeing those die around him a long time ago, so he has tried to distance himself from people to spare the pain of loss. Despite this act, Kensei has had an ally in his battle againt the forces of evil in the form of a family of monks devoted to the gods of old. Through the centuries, Kensei has allied himself with the children of each generation once they come of age.

Currently the monk who is his main ally is a man in his late 20's called Hideyoshi Kenshin, and his sister, Ami Kenshin. Hideyoshi is a fully trained martial artist being taught the ways of his family's duties and history by their father, Ryo. Hideyoshi is a care-free individual in appearance, possessing a strong sense of optimism and humor. Hideyoshi is always trying to look on the bright side of things to brighten his friend's day and get him to loosen up. When the time calls for it though, Hideyoshi can become one of the most serious people you will ever meet. Like Kensei, Hideyoshi puts the lives of others above himself and will do anything to keep his sister from harm.

Ami Kenshin, while taught the family discipline, took a different path. Instead of focusing on hand-to-hand combat, at a young age it became apparent that Ami was adept in the ways of magic. So she was given proper guidence and training in The Art, and soon became a skilled sorceress. Though not as powerful as some of the other mystics of the planet, Ami Kenshin was able to conjure many wards and enchantments to keep Kensei's place and the artifacts housed inside protected. Ami is a beautiful young women in her mid-20's with rare jade-colored eyes. When she first met Kensei she immediately felt an attraction to the noble warrior. At first Ami dismissed it as the fantasies of a young girl, but those feelings soon grew into something more. However, Ami is reluctant to tell Kensei how she feels for him, though Kensei knows. He has the same feeling towards her, but is afraid to get close to someone in a relationship.
Ami is a caring person, and, like Kensei and Hideyoshi, puts the well-being of others over herself. She is a shy person, but tries to keep that from getting in the way of her duties.

List a few reasons why you've created that character: I'm a fan of history and the myths of many cultures, among them Japan, and the challenge of integrating these myths into a comic book-style world interested me a great deal. He's based partly off the real life warrior of feudel Japan, Miyamoto Musashi, and an old D&D character of mine. Thought it'd be fun to try and tell some more modern-ized and adapted versions of said D&D hero's adventures. Not to mention it'll be fun showing how this ancient, stoic warrior has come to grips with the end of the samurai way, and the modern world around him.

What can you bring to the RPG?: Experience in RPing, both in tabletop RPGs and on the Hype. A honorable hero, who will stop at nothing to defend the helpless and destroy the forces of darkness, no matter what form they take.

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

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):
The figure waited on the rooftop of the Imperial Palace, quiet as death. He sat shrouded in a cloak as black as the night itself, concealing him from all eyes. The man did not move a muscle, not even the slightest of twitches. He simply sat in the shadow of a large bronze dragon that adorned the palace rooftop across from the Emperor's private chambers, a long bow resting at his side.

For the past several weeks, Emperor Konoe had been having troubled dreams and had grown ill. No medicine seemed to work and the Emperor got weaker by the day. His aids grew frightened and desperate, so they called in the services of an Itako from the surrounding fiefdom. The blind mystic performed his rituals and made a devestating discovery. The Emperor's condition was due to a supernatural blight infecting his mind. It would not be long until he died. The Emperor's attendants did not know how to proceed, but the Itako suggested summoning the services of the Demon's Bane...

So the call went out and Kensei, Izanagi's Chosen, came to the Imperial Palace and took up the task of freeing the Emperor from this curse.

Kensei examined the Emperor as the lord lay unmoving in his bed, pale as a ghost. The Celestial Samurai quickly had an idea of what troubled the monarch, and so he climbed up to the top of the palace with his long bow and waited. Soon enough his hunch became reality as a large cloud of utter blackness descended upon the palace and came to rest on the roof above the Emperor's chamber. Kensei slowly raised his mighty bow and fitted it with a White Arrow, a blessed item created from the carved fang of a dragon. The warrior drew back the bow string, took aim at the center of the cloud...and fired.

As the arrow hit the cloud as though it were a tangible thing, a great, beastial roar rang out into the silent night. Guards came running towards the source of the scream on the ground below, and men and women alike rushed to their bed chamber balconies to see what was amiss. All bore witness to the darkness as it rolled off of the roof and crashed into the earth below. It had taken solid shape as it fell, it's true form now revealed.

One of the guards cautiously moved towards it and proded it with the tip of his spear.

<"It...it's a Nue! A big one too">, yelled the guard loudly for all to hear as the Emperor's attendants rushed into the courtyard to inspect the foul beast.

Kensei leaped off of the roof and landed in front of the men on the other side of the Nue's corpse. The guards and the attendants jumped back in surprise at the sudden appearance of the Swordsman.

<"The Emperor will be fine">, Kensei stated in a calm voice as he retrieved his arrow from the monster's corpse, <"The Nue's influence over Konoe's spirit is no more.">

Kensei made his way to stand in front of one of the guard. In his long years of life, Kensei became a fine judge of character, and this man possessed the will and ability to carry out the task he was about to appoint. Kensei was certain of it.

<"You">, Kensei asked as he stared at the guard, <"what is your name?">

The guard shifted himself to stand up straight and raised his chin in pride, <"My name is Yorimasu Minamoto, Captain of the Palace Guard and servant to the Emperor.">

Kensei bowed in respect, <"Yorimasu, there is a task you must carry out, and it must be done this instant. If you do not succeed in this, the entire palace and all who dwell within will be cursed. Do you understand?">

Minamoto kept a stern visage and nodded his head.

<"Good">, replied Kensei, <"You must take this Nue's corpse and wrap it in linens. It is important that none of the beast be exposed, or else. You must then take this creature's covered body and wrap it in heavy chains, again making sure none of it is exposed. Once you have accomplished this task, you must take the beast to the Sea of Japan and sink it beneath the waves. Only then will you and the Imperial City be spared. Do you understand?">

Minamoto nodded, <"I do. I will wrap the creature in linens, and then chains. All the while making sure none of the Nue's body is exposed. I will then take the beast to the Sea of Japan and sink it's corpse beneath the waves.">

<"Excellent">, replied Kensei, <"I suggest you begin immediately.">

Minamoto bowed respectfully to Kensei and moved off, calling to his guards to aid him by fetching linens and chains.

Kensei made his way towards the aids.

<"Thank you, Kensei">, said one as he bowed to the Swordsman, <"Izanagi chose his champion well. We shall pray to him, giving thanks for all that you have done this day. Here...take this as reward...">

The attendant reached into his robes and pulled out a small pouch. Kensei inspected it and took it from the man. Emptying the contents out in his hand, Kensei found that it contained a dozen precious gems.

<"It is the least we can do for the great service you have done">, stated the aid, <"think of it as a donation...to help you continue the battle against the growing darkness.">

Kensei placed the gems back into the bag, and put the bag into a container in his armor. Kensei bowed to the aids, thanked them, and then walked off into the blackness of the night...

Ami is a caring person, and, like Kensei and Hideyoshi, puts the well-being of others over herself. She is a shy person, but tries to keep that from getting in the way of her duties.

List a few reasons why you've created that character: I'm a fan of history and the myths of many cultures, among them Japan, and the challenge of integrating these myths into a comic book-style world interested me a great deal. He's based partly off the real life warrior of feudel Japan, Miyamoto Musashi, and an old D&D character of mine. Thought it'd be fun to try and tell some more modern-ized and adapted versions of said D&D hero's adventures. Not to mention it'll be fun showing how this ancient, stoic warrior has come to grips with the end of the samurai way, and the modern world around him.

What can you bring to the RPG?: Experience in RPing, both in tabletop RPGs and on the Hype. A honorable hero, who will stop at nothing to defend the helpless and destroy the forces of darkness, no matter what form they take.

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

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):
The figure waited on the rooftop of the Imperial Palace, quiet as death. He sat shrouded in a cloak as black as the night itself, concealing him from all eyes. The man did not move a muscle, not even the slightest of twitches. He simply sat in the shadow of a large bronze dragon that adorned the palace rooftop across from the Emperor's private chambers, a long bow resting at his side.

For the past several weeks, Emperor Konoe had been having troubled dreams and had grown ill. No medicine seemed to work and the Emperor got weaker by the day. His aids grew frightened and desperate, so they called in the services of an Itako from the surrounding fiefdom. The blind mystic performed his rituals and made a devestating discovery. The Emperor's condition was due to a supernatural blight infecting his mind. It would not be long until he died. The Emperor's attendants did not know how to proceed, but the Itako suggested summoning the services of the Demon's Bane...

So the call went out and Kensei, Izanagi's Chosen, came to the Imperial Palace and took up the task of freeing the Emperor from this curse.

Kensei examined the Emperor as the lord lay unmoving in his bed, pale as a ghost. The Celestial Samurai quickly had an idea of what troubled the monarch, and so he climbed up to the top of the palace with his long bow and waited. Soon enough his hunch became reality as a large cloud of utter blackness descended upon the palace and came to rest on the roof above the Emperor's chamber. Kensei slowly raised his mighty bow and fitted it with a White Arrow, a blessed item created from the carved fang of a dragon. The warrior drew back the bow string, took aim at the center of the cloud...and fired.

As the arrow hit the cloud as though it were a tangible thing, a great, beastial roar rang out into the silent night. Guards came running towards the source of the scream on the ground below, and men and women alike rushed to their bed chamber balconies to see what was amiss. All bore witness to the darkness as it rolled off of the roof and crashed into the earth below. It had taken solid shape as it fell, it's true form now revealed.

One of the guards cautiously moved towards it and proded it with the tip of his spear.

<"It...it's a Nue! A big one too">, yelled the guard loudly for all to hear as the Emperor's attendants rushed into the courtyard to inspect the foul beast.

Kensei leaped off of the roof and landed in front of the men on the other side of the Nue's corpse. The guards and the attendants jumped back in surprise at the sudden appearance of the Swordsman.

<"The Emperor will be fine">, Kensei stated in a calm voice as he retrieved his arrow from the monster's corpse, <"The Nue's influence over Konoe's spirit is no more.">

Kensei made his way to stand in front of one of the guard. In his long years of life, Kensei became a fine judge of character, and this man possessed the will and ability to carry out the task he was about to appoint. Kensei was certain of it.

<"You">, Kensei asked as he stared at the guard, <"what is your name?">

The guard shifted himself to stand up straight and raised his chin in pride, <"My name is Yorimasu Minamoto, Captain of the Palace Guard and servant to the Emperor.">

Kensei bowed in respect, <"Yorimasu, there is a task you must carry out, and it must be done this instant. If you do not succeed in this, the entire palace and all who dwell within will be cursed. Do you understand?">

Minamoto kept a stern visage and nodded his head.

<"Good">, replied Kensei, <"You must take this Nue's corpse and wrap it in linens. It is important that none of the beast be exposed, or else. You must then take this creature's covered body and wrap it in heavy chains, again making sure none of it is exposed. Once you have accomplished this task, you must take the beast to the Sea of Japan and sink it beneath the waves. Only then will you and the Imperial City be spared. Do you understand?">

Minamoto nodded, <"I do. I will wrap the creature in linens, and then chains. All the while making sure none of the Nue's body is exposed. I will then take the beast to the Sea of Japan and sink it's corpse beneath the waves.">

<"Excellent">, replied Kensei, <"I suggest you begin immediately.">

Minamoto bowed respectfully to Kensei and moved off, calling to his guards to aid him by fetching linens and chains.

Kensei made his way towards the aids.

<"Thank you, Kensei">, said one as he bowed to the Swordsman, <"Izanagi chose his champion well. We shall pray to him, giving thanks for all that you have done this day. Here...take this as reward...">

The attendant reached into his robes and pulled out a small pouch. Kensei inspected it and took it from the man. Emptying the contents out in his hand, Kensei found that it contained a dozen precious gems.

<"It is the least we can do for the great service you have done">, stated the aid, <"think of it as a donation...to help you continue the battle against the growing darkness.">

Kensei placed the gems back into the bag, and put the bag into a container in his armor. Kensei bowed to the aids, thanked them, and then walked off into the blackness of the night...

Well, I see S.T.R.I.K.E. went off the deep end and started a war against the metas, and that there were some casualties because of that. Just got a few questions, and the rest I can get on my own.

How are super-humans percieved in the world today after the war?

Are the Guardians disbanded?

Lastly, is what's the current status of S.T.R.I.K.E.?

Oh, and where is Icon buried?

Mixed. There are pockets who still don't trust them and are scared, but for the most part sentiments are that the Guardians (at least) are here to help.

At least that's how I've interpreted it. Shape may have a more definitive view, but as far as I'm aware nothing has been written to the contrary.

Are the Guardians disbanded?
These two are pretty helpful:

In short, the Guardians have been folded into the organization known in Wiegeabo's Invisible Man run as "The Agency". The Guardians initiative as they knew it was culled by the Government and the Agency picked apart it's most valuable assets (human/metahuman and other resources) which were easily identified by "the Director" after the Vigilante left Colonel Gunny Bracken (a man under the employ of the Guardians and in charge of their armoury - a role which is largely just equipping the Vigilante, who doesn't have metahuman powers to aid him, but also any others who may have needed equipment) in the medical care of the Agency after he had been shot in an attack on Guardians Headquarters.

Kensai has been NPCed to still be with the group at this point (the opening line of dialogue in http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=23055141&postcount=7, and mentioned again around the halfway mark) that said Youngster also appeared in that post and has since left the Guardians, not liking the new direction they're headed in.

We have tried to leave NPCs largely in workable areas though, in case people decided to return.


Lastly, is what's the current status of S.T.R.I.K.E.?
Well, Director Alexander Anderson was taken down. Shot and taken into custody by Federal Marshals. (http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=22744235&postcount=62 and http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=22744435&postcount=63) As for what has become of the overall organization? It hasn't been explored yet this season. But I wouldn't imagine they'd have too much of the public's confidence these days. Although Shape has made a post mentioning:

"He had heard stories about a gang of metas that had been terrorizing parts of Lost Haven since the fall of S.T.R.I.K.E, but he hadn’t seen them in action...until now."

So meta-crime has amped up some in the vaccuum of S.T.R.I.K.E's fall.

Oh, and where is Icon buried?
Mount Olympus Memorial Park.

http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=22763279&postcount=69



Three days had passed since Icon had given his life while saving the world from the creature known as Endgame. The television news had been showing a constant feed of coverage regarding Icon's death, some even showing footage of the final moments of the battle, and then the heartbreaking moment when the Guardians had surrounded their leader as he took his final breath.

The city had planned an elaborate funeral, closing down the streets around Sherman Square in order for the procession to safely make its way to Mt. Olympus Memorial Park, where he would be entombed. Aside from members of the Guardians and other heroes, dignitaries and leaders from around the world had begun flocking into the city to be there when he was finally laid to rest.

In the apartment that she shared with Flux, Starlight straightened her dress and put the finishing touches on her makeup, only to have to start all over again when her mascara was ruined as tears began to flow, leaving black streaks running down her cheeks.

***

People began lining the streets several hours before the procession was set to begin in hopes of getting a good spot along the route. Some wanted to be there to give thanks one last time to a man who had given everything he had and more to protect them, and had paid the ultimate price for those heroics. Others wanted to be there just out of curiosity, while others just wanted to be there for the sake of being there, while there were those who just wanted to say goodbye.

As the procession made its way through the streets, a number of notable heroes could be seen walking in unison with the Guardians, who served as the pall bearers. Spirit of America and Eagle Scout, Electron, Mantis and The Citizen were just a few of the notable heroes how had come come to Lost Haven to stand at Icon's side for one final time.

The procession made its way through the large gates of Mt Olympus Memorial Park, and as it did the large crowd filed in until the park was completely filled to capacity. The park had not seen as large of a turnout since the park's dedication in the days following the Alien Invasion. On that day, Icon himself addressed the crowd and announced the formation of The Guardians.

A number of speakers took to the podium which had been erected near the memorial site that had been designated for him, and one after another they spoke about the virtues of a man who had sacrificed so much, including his very life to help complete strangers. Some even gave first hand testimonials about how Icon had helped them personally.

Eventually, the last speaker had said his piece, and The Guardians proceeded with his casket into the tomb where they would at last lay their leader, their comrade, and most importantly...their friend to rest.

***


A small group gathered around a pile of firewood in the back yard of the Morse home in Conway New Hampshire. Long before he was Icon, Scott Morse played in the woods that covered the 5 acre plot of land in which the family home sat upon. And in the back of the yard, where the neatly manicured lawn meets the forest, his closest friends and family lay him to rest in their own way. Instead of going to the funeral for Icon in Lost Haven, the Morse family, along with Keira and Eric stood in relative silence as Jacob Morse, Scott's adoptive father lit the fire.



While their son was receiving a service in the city usually reserved for heads of state, they had gathered some of Scott's personal items that personified who he was as a person. Items such as his high school letterman's jacket, his favorite toys from when he was a child, all of which were kept in pristine condition by Mrs. Morse, even the tattered remains of Scott's very first Icon costume, which she had kept since the day he brought the burnt and torn uniform to her hoping that maybe she could repair it. She had told him that the suit was beyond repair, and that she would just dispose of it. But she never did. She could never bring herself to get rid of it, yet on that night, it just seemed fitting.



With a single red rose in hand,Keira watched as Jacob Morse ignited the fire, unable to contain the tears she had been holding in since she had arrived to the Morse home any longer, and she began to weep. Eric did his best to console her, placing a supportive hand on her shoulder, knowing that it would do little good. He had grown up with Scott, they had first met each other in the 7th grade and had been nearly inseparable since that day. He had been the first person outside of the family to know Scott's secret. Scott had been his best friend, and had been there for him whenever he had needed anything. However, in Scott's greatest moment of need, Eric hadn't been there for him. He knew that it was stupid to feel that way, that there was nothing that he could have done, and he had told himself that over and over again, yet some guilt persisted. It was something that he had told himself that he would just have to live with.



They stood in front of the blaze watching as Jacob Morse took the box holding Scott's keepsakes from his wife, and slowly walked toward the fire. Taking great care, he placed the box on top of the firewood. Within moments, fire had engulfed the box of mementos, and there was nothing that any of them could do but watch.



After several moments, Keira approached the fire and gently lay the rose atop of the burning box. With tears in her eyes as she watched petals burn along with Scott's keepsakes, she silently said goodbyes to the man that she loved.






Hope that's been helpful.

That was extremely helpful, Hound. Thank you. :up:

It seems Kensei wasn't mentioned in the memorial post, which is good since I'd like to have him say a personal goodbye during his Walkabout.

Oh, and to make it known, Kensei is no longer a member of the Guardians. I'll be explaining what happened to him and where he was slowly during the Walkabout storyline.

[trustyside-kick]

I only really ever used Kensei. Aside from them doing some blow on some Japanese geisha's stomachs and then blowing each other...only true thing I did was that Michael went to Kensei in Japan to teach him how to use a sword.

And in those lessons they kinda bonded since Michael was feeling overwhelmed about his duties to his God since Kensei could understand since he is an Agent for his Gods.

Mikey and Miyamoto: Mystic Swingers was a spin-off RPG, it was an ill-conceived train-wreck of an idea which was rightly cancelled after three days.

Character you have created: Captain Thomas Holloway
Alias: Captain Hellfire

Speech Color: Bold, Comic Sans

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Known

Character Personality: Thomas grew up a troubled child, and still has an arrogance about him. The military life has helped straighten him out, giving Thomas a certain coolness, even in the tightest of situations. Captain has a strong sense of right and wrong, even if what he sees as "wrong" is legal. Thomas carries a devotion to his teammates, his family, and is willing to die for them and his beliefs.

Uniform/costume:
In his Battle Armor
http://www.whitegadget.com/attachments/wallpaper/47656d1296002436-sci-fi-fantasy-wallpapers-33235-future_soldier.future-soldier.jpg

Without his Armor
http://www.chrisandphilpresent.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Interceptor2.jpg

Origin Info/Details: Thomas grew up in a military family under the strict eye of his father. His mother left when he was six, leaving his dad, a three star general, to take care of Thomas on his own. To his credit he did his best, but being in a high ranking position meant he was never really there for Thomas growing up. So Thomas learned at an early age to take care of himself.

Growing up he obtained a rebelious attitude, often getting into fights and general no-good, prompting the nickname "Hellfire" because it was what he was filled with according to his father. One day, when Thomas was seventeen, his father died of a stroke, leaving him with regret and conviction.
Deciding to get his act together to honor his old man, Thomas cleaned himself up and enlisted into the Core. He excelled at Paris Island, and when he became a full-fledged marine, he rose through the ranks with a ferocity that highlighted his work ethic and keen intellect in the business of warfare.

Throughout it all, Thomas got to know another general who was a close friend of his father's. Thomas never asked for any help, and he never received any as he rose to a well respected figure in the Marine Core. Eventually, his father's friend pulled some strings, and got him promoted to the rank of Captain and stationed in one of the military's secret facilities.
It was at this facility where Thomas' life would change forever.

Thomas rarely knew about any of the projects going on at the secret base, and he liked it like that. The more he didn't know, the less he'd have to worry about. But one day an absent minded scientist (or perhaps the hand of fate?) left one of the doors to the "off-limits" areas open.
Thomas at first started to close it, but his temptation got the better of him and he carefully walked inside. The room was empty, except for a large, plastic cell. The cell was as empty as the room, save for single hard cot, a toilet...and a small gray-skinned alien.

Thomas' mind began to race, but he quickly steadied himself as best he could. Maintain composure, even if it's just a show. The Gray introduced himself telepathically as Alek, and the two talked. Alek was a scientist of his race who came to Earth to warn us of an impending hostile takeover of our planet by his people, but his ship crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in the 40's. He was the only survivor of his crew, and has been held in this facility since then.

For some reason, Thomas felt Alek was telling the truth, and he freed the alien. Together they made their way to a hidden hanger where they discovered a experimental space craft that the government had created from reverse-engineering Alek's ship.
With a little ingenuity and bravery, the pair managed to get to the craft and take off before the entire base was alerted.

For ten years, Thomas and Alek joined forces with other other heroic sentients and battled the Grays in a bloody guerilla war. Thomas as the crew he commanded became legendary. He and his men fought with a tenacity that was unmatched, and the Thomas' old nickname in a way returned. Now enemy and ally alike knew Thomas as Captain Hellfire. A fan of the Greek myths, Thomas dubbed his team the Argonauts, after the mythical group of legendary warriors.
Eventually, the Grays gave up their crusade to take control of the Earth, leaving the heroes of the small war to figure out what to do next.

Thomas, now thirty-two years old and feeling he can't return home, captain's the ship he and Alek stole, called the Icarus, and a small crew of battle-hardened misfits, the Argonauts. Together they travel the stars, looking for some honest merc work, and using their own brand of justice where they see fit.

The herb, according to Alek, helps stir his creativity. Alek is also a huge fan of Earth TV programs.
Alek, like all the Grays, possess minor telepathic abilities.

The Argonauts

List a few reasons why you've created that character: Far as I know, the cosmic side of this game has been barely explored. And that, my friends, is a damn shame. So, myself, with the aid of at least one other like-minded individual want to expand the RPing into the stars and expand the CAH Universe a bit.

What can you bring to the RPG?: Experience

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

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):
"I told you not to smoke that **** up here", Thomas said as he entered the bridge of the Icarus. It was the night cycle of the ship, and most of the crew was asleep, save for Alek, who had watch, and the Captain.

"You did", Alek said as he took another puff from his joint.
"And, if I thought you'd catch me, I wouldn't have done it. But, since it is already lit, and everyone else is asleep..."

*sigh* "Ok, this one, and no more. You know some of the crew doesn't like that ****."

"Well, they're idiots", Alek scoffed as he kicked his feet up onto the armrest of the pilot's chair.

"Ha", Thomas chuckled as he took the seat next to Alek's and got comfortable.
"I've come to realize that everyone who has a different opinion than your's is an idiot."

Alek sat up and mockingly waved his fist in the air, "And rightfully so! Rabble! Rabble!"

"South Park?"

"Yeah", Alek sighed and leaned back in his chair, taking a big drag off of the joint that hung from his mouth.

The Icarus was quietly floating along in the Black, the eerie shine of the stars a picturesque backdrop, as the two friends sat back and gazed out into the eternal night beyond the bridge.

"You know...there are times when I do feel homesick. Like a gnawing in my gut, a wanting to see my home again", Thomas says, breaking the silence, "but then I see this...and I feel like I'm right where I'm supposed to be..."

A series of small comets rocketed past, not even a lightyear away, leaving a glittering trail of cosmic brilliance that shimmered against the starry backdrop of space.

"Welcome home, Captain Hellfire", Alek said before taking another puff, and the two sat back in peace, quietly watching the cosmic show play on before them.

Speech Color (Actually say what you're using, don't go "Like this", or what not): Green and bold.

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret/Known: Known

Character Personality:
Barb is a warrior. He lives for combat, he loves being in combat. The reason why he enjoys combat is because in combat he doesn't have to think about anything but fighting. All the death he caused by not acting is forgotten. Outside of fighting, he's not apposed to having a good time. In his quiet moments, his thoughts go back to the war and his desertion. He now serves with the Argonauts to make up for his past mistakes, promising never to abandon another person in need again.

Uniform/costume:
http://i.imgur.com/CUGMv.jpg

Origin Info/Details:

Bărbat Puternic is a Strekian, native of the planet Sterk. He was born in the city or Onora to miner parents. After a minimal education, Barb began his mandatory service in the Sterkian Military. Barb served as a petty officer on the warship SCN Distrugător. After an exceptional three year service, Barb chose to renew his commitment to the navy and applied for special forces.

Barb became a squad leader for the Vanguards, Strekian special forces that pulled off operations across the galaxy. Ten years ago, Barb's squad were en route to an op against a cell of Marqquod terrorist when their ship encountered another craft. Inside the ship were two beings. One of which was a member of the Grays, the other a member of a species Barb and his men had never encountered. A human. According to the Gray, his people were poised to invade the human's planet. While it wasn't part of his mission, Barb and his men heard the human out. A dozen terrorist or a flat-out invasion? The terrorists could wait. Barb's squad saddled up with the human and Gray and went to war.

Unbeknownst to Barb, while he was with Gray, known as Alek, and the human, called Thomas Holloway, the Marqquod cell acted out a damaging terrorist attack on a Strek mining facility. Thousands were killed and, although Barb helped repeal the Gray invasion, he was dishonorably discharged by the Strek military, charged with desertion and with a death warrant on his head. Knowing no place else to go, Barb and his men stayed with the two travelers and the rest of the crew he acquired. During the war with the Grays, the rest of Barb's squad were killed in the combat and only Barb survived.

Now, Barb acts as chief security officer and weapons and demo expert for the Icarus. He deals with the guilt of deserting his planet and his people while trying avoid the bounty on his head.

Tatem XII


The tall, skinny Dwek came into the packed cantina and looked around. The place was filled with various types. There were miners from two star systems over had hopped a barge and jumped to Tatem XII, looking to spend their hard earned pay on some drinks and women. There were a small collection of businessmen who looked like they had lost all their money in the Panto Stock Exchange. A call girl leaned against an odd, pink skinned alien and whispered sweet nothings into his ear.

The Dwek saw Barb nursing a drink in the corner booth. He made eye contact with Barb and walked over.

"You the captain?" The Dwek asked, looking nervously over his shoulder.

"Maybe. You the man that needs transport?"

"Yeah," the Dwek said, looking down at Barb. "You're here early. Like, by an hour."

"We got a saying about that where I come from."

"By the way, you're Hellfire? I thought you were some type of weird alien, not a Strek."

"What can I say?" Barb said with a shrug. "Rumors and such. Have a seat."

The Dwek sat down across the table from him and Barb hid the smirk he felt coming on as he saw the Dwek palm something from his pocket.

"Well, I--"

"Not another word," Barb said, his calm and easy manner disappearing. They were replaced by a steely gaze. "You don't say another word until you drop that blaster."

"Ah," the Dwek said with a chuckle. "Saw that, did you?"

"Yep. Blaster under the table is about as cliche as you can get."

"Well, I don't want to cause a scene. Scanner said you don't have any weapons on you. I'm disappointed. You don't live up to your reputation, Hellfire."

"Yeah, well, rumors and such. Mind telling me who hired you to kill me?"

"Ah, that would ruin my reputation as a professional," the Dwek asked with a grin."Any last words, Hellfire?"

"Just that saying I mentioned. The one we have on Strek."

Suddenly, half the bar was a blur of motion. The miners had plasma bolt guns pointed in the Dwek's face, the businessmen had plam-sized blasters the same size as the Dwek's, pointed straight at the assassin.

"'Întotdeauna apar primele trei ore la o întâlnire,'" Barb said in his native tongue. "'Always show up three hours early to a meeting.'"

The pink-skinned alien that had been with the callgirl walked over, his gun trained on the Dwek.

"Captain Hellfire. Howdy. Let's talk about who wants to kill me."

[Johnny Blaze]

Still some spots to fill if anybody is interested in joining the team! More PCs the better! :grin:

[Byrd Man]

Join or die.

Literally.

I do like forcing people in to doing things. Especially dirty things... :)

Character you have created: Captain Thomas Holloway
Alias: Captain Hellfire

Speech Color: Bold, Comic Sans

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Known

Character Personality: Thomas grew up a troubled child, and still has an arrogance about him. The military life has helped straighten him out, giving Thomas a certain coolness, even in the tightest of situations. Captain has a strong sense of right and wrong, even if what he sees as "wrong" is legal. Thomas carries a devotion to his teammates, his family, and is willing to die for them and his beliefs.

Uniform/costume:
In his Battle Armor

Without his Armor
http://www.chrisandphilpresent.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Interceptor2.jpg

Origin Info/Details: Thomas grew up in a military family under the strict eye of his father. His mother left when he was six, leaving his dad, a three star general, to take care of Thomas on his own. To his credit he did his best, but being in a high ranking position meant he was never really there for Thomas growing up. So Thomas learned at an early age to take care of himself.

Growing up he obtained a rebelious attitude, often getting into fights and general no-good, prompting the nickname "Hellfire" because it was what he was filled with according to his father. One day, when Thomas was seventeen, his father died of a stroke, leaving him with regret and conviction.
Deciding to get his act together to honor his old man, Thomas cleaned himself up and enlisted into the Core. He excelled at Paris Island, and when he became a full-fledged marine, he rose through the ranks with a ferocity that highlighted his work ethic and keen intellect in the business of warfare.

Throughout it all, Thomas got to know another general who was a close friend of his father's. Thomas never asked for any help, and he never received any as he rose to a well respected figure in the Marine Core. Eventually, his father's friend pulled some strings, and got him promoted to the rank of Captain and stationed in one of the military's secret facilities.
It was at this facility where Thomas' life would change forever.

Thomas rarely knew about any of the projects going on at the secret base, and he liked it like that. The more he didn't know, the less he'd have to worry about. But one day an absent minded scientist (or perhaps the hand of fate?) left one of the doors to the "off-limits" areas open.
Thomas at first started to close it, but his temptation got the better of him and he carefully walked inside. The room was empty, except for a large, plastic cell. The cell was as empty as the room, save for single hard cot, a toilet...and a small gray-skinned alien.

Thomas' mind began to race, but he quickly steadied himself as best he could. Maintain composure, even if it's just a show. The Gray introduced himself telepathically as Alek, and the two talked. Alek was a scientist of his race who came to Earth to warn us of an impending hostile takeover of our planet by his people, but his ship crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in the 40's. He was the only survivor of his crew, and has been held in this facility since then.

For some reason, Thomas felt Alek was telling the truth, and he freed the alien. Together they made their way to a hidden hanger where they discovered a experimental space craft that the government had created from reverse-engineering Alek's ship.
With a little ingenuity and bravery, the pair managed to get to the craft and take off before the entire base was alerted.

For ten years, Thomas and Alek joined forces with other other heroic sentients and battled the Grays in a bloody guerilla war. Thomas as the crew he commanded became legendary. He and his men fought with a tenacity that was unmatched, and the Thomas' old nickname in a way returned. Now enemy and ally alike knew Thomas as Captain Hellfire. A fan of the Greek myths, Thomas dubbed his team the Argonauts, after the mythical group of legendary warriors.
Eventually, the Grays gave up their crusade to take control of the Earth, leaving the heroes of the small war to figure out what to do next.

Thomas, now thirty-two years old and feeling he can't return home, captain's the ship he and Alek stole, called the Icarus, and a small crew of battle-hardened misfits, the Argonauts. Together they travel the stars, looking for some honest merc work, and using their own brand of justice where they see fit.

The herb, according to Alek, helps stir his creativity. Alek is also a huge fan of Earth TV programs.
Alek, like all the Grays, possess minor telepathic abilities.

The Argonauts

List a few reasons why you've created that character: Far as I know, the cosmic side of this game has been barely explored. And that, my friends, is a damn shame. So, myself, with the aid of at least one other like-minded individual want to expand the RPing into the stars and expand the CAH Universe a bit.

What can you bring to the RPG?: Experience

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

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):
"I told you not to smoke that **** up here", Thomas said as he entered the bridge of the Icarus. It was the night cycle of the ship, and most of the crew was asleep, save for Alek, who had watch, and the Captain.

"You did", Alek said as he took another puff from his joint.
"And, if I thought you'd catch me, I wouldn't have done it. But, since it is already lit, and everyone else is asleep..."

*sigh* "Ok, this one, and no more. You know some of the crew doesn't like that ****."

"Well, they're idiots", Alek scoffed as he kicked his feet up onto the armrest of the pilot's chair.

"Ha", Thomas chuckled as he took the seat next to Alek's and got comfortable.
"I've come to realize that everyone who has a different opinion than your's is an idiot."

Alek sat up and mockingly waved his fist in the air, "And rightfully so! Rabble! Rabble!"

"South Park?"

"Yeah", Alek sighed and leaned back in his chair, taking a big drag off of the joint that hung from his mouth.

The Icarus was quietly floating along in the Black, the eerie shine of the stars a picturesque backdrop, as the two friends sat back and gazed out into the eternal night beyond the bridge.

"You know...there are times when I do feel homesick. Like a gnawing in my gut, a wanting to see my home again", Thomas says, breaking the silence, "but then I see this...and I feel like I'm right where I'm supposed to be..."

A series of small comets rocketed past, not even a lightyear away, leaving a glittering trail of cosmic brilliance that shimmered against the starry backdrop of space.

"Welcome home, Captain Hellfire", Alek said before taking another puff, and the two sat back in peace, quietly watching the cosmic show play on before them.

Character you have created: Bărbat Puternic

Alias: Barb

Speech Color (Actually say what you're using, don't go "Like this", or what not): Green and bold.

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret/Known: Known

Character Personality:
Barb is a warrior. He lives for combat, he loves being in combat. The reason why he enjoys combat is because in combat he doesn't have to think about anything but fighting. All the death he caused by not acting is forgotten. Outside of fighting, he's not apposed to having a good time. In his quiet moments, his thoughts go back to the war and his desertion. He now serves with the Argonauts to make up for his past mistakes, promising never to abandon another person in need again.

Uniform/costume:
http://i.imgur.com/CUGMv.jpg

Origin Info/Details:

Bărbat Puternic is a Strekian, native of the planet Sterk. He was born in the city or Onora to miner parents. After a minimal education, Barb began his mandatory service in the Sterkian Military. Barb served as a petty officer on the warship SCN Distrugător. After an exceptional three year service, Barb chose to renew his commitment to the navy and applied for special forces.

Barb became a squad leader for the Vanguards, Strekian special forces that pulled off operations across the galaxy. Ten years ago, Barb's squad were en route to an op against a cell of Marqquod terrorist when their ship encountered another craft. Inside the ship were two beings. One of which was a member of the Grays, the other a member of a species Barb and his men had never encountered. A human. According to the Gray, his people were poised to invade the human's planet. While it wasn't part of his mission, Barb and his men heard the human out. A dozen terrorist or a flat-out invasion? The terrorists could wait. Barb's squad saddled up with the human and Gray and went to war.

Unbeknownst to Barb, while he was with Gray, known as Alek, and the human, called Thomas Holloway, the Marqquod cell acted out a damaging terrorist attack on a Strek mining facility. Thousands were killed and, although Barb helped repeal the Gray invasion, he was dishonorably discharged by the Strek military, charged with desertion and with a death warrant on his head. Knowing no place else to go, Barb and his men stayed with the two travelers and the rest of the crew he acquired. During the war with the Grays, the rest of Barb's squad were killed in the combat and only Barb survived.

Now, Barb acts as chief security officer and weapons and demo expert for the Icarus. He deals with the guilt of deserting his planet and his people while trying avoid the bounty on his head.

Hero Type (Select one):

What can you bring to the RPG?: Your mother.

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


Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):



Tatem XII


The tall, skinny Dwek came into the packed cantina and looked around. The place was filled with various types. There were miners from two star systems over had hopped a barge and jumped to Tatem XII, looking to spend their hard earned pay on some drinks and women. There were a small collection of businessmen who looked like they had lost all their money in the Panto Stock Exchange. A call girl leaned against an odd, pink skinned alien and whispered sweet nothings into his ear.

The Dwek saw Barb nursing a drink in the corner booth. He made eye contact with Barb and walked over.

"You the captain?" The Dwek asked, looking nervously over his shoulder.

"Maybe. You the man that needs transport?"

"Yeah," the Dwek said, looking down at Barb. "You're here early. Like, by an hour."

"We got a saying about that where I come from."

"By the way, you're Hellfire? I thought you were some type of weird alien, not a Strek."

"What can I say?" Barb said with a shrug. "Rumors and such. Have a seat."

The Dwek sat down across the table from him and Barb hid the smirk he felt coming on as he saw the Dwek palm something from his pocket.

"Well, I--"

"Not another word," Barb said, his calm and easy manner disappearing. They were replaced by a steely gaze. "You don't say another word until you drop that blaster."

"Ah," the Dwek said with a chuckle. "Saw that, did you?"

"Yep. Blaster under the table is about as cliche as you can get."

"Well, I don't want to cause a scene. Scanner said you don't have any weapons on you. I'm disappointed. You don't live up to your reputation, Hellfire."

"Yeah, well, rumors and such. Mind telling me who hired you to kill me?"

"Ah, that would ruin my reputation as a professional," the Dwek asked with a grin."Any last words, Hellfire?"

"Just that saying I mentioned. The one we have on Strek."

Suddenly, half the bar was a blur of motion. The miners had plasma bolt guns pointed in the Dwek's face, the businessmen had plam-sized blasters the same size as the Dwek's, pointed straight at the assassin.

"'Întotdeauna apar primele trei ore la o întâlnire,'" Barb said in his native tongue. "'Always show up three hours early to a meeting.'"

The pink-skinned alien that had been with the callgirl walked over, his gun trained on the Dwek.

"Captain Hellfire. Howdy. Let's talk about who wants to kill me."

Character you have created: Neutali Arthaa
Alias: Newt

Speech Color: Bold, light purple, Arial Narrow

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Known

Character Personality: Newt is a brilliant, albeit absent-minded, engineer. He loves tinkering and working with his hands. He can be a bit jittery at times, and he's something of a fast-talker. Newt is almost criminally friendly, but he sometimes lacks the social prowess of his peers. He often puts his foot in his mouth, and he says inappropriate or insensitive things without realizing it.

Uniform/Costume: Newt wears a skintight bodysuit which keeps his skin hydrated at all times. His hands and feet are exposed. When he goes off the Icarus and into the field, Newt wears light body armor on top of the bodysuit.

As a Telly, Newt is small relative to humans. He stands at 5'4". His skin, which is slick, is a light purple color with blueish accents. His species resembles a salamander: two closely-spaced nostrils instead of a nose, a wide mouth, and dark black eyes.

Origin Info/Details: Neutali Arthaa, nicknamed "Newt" by many, is a Telly from the planet Luthien. He is the youngest of a family of nine - a small family by Telly standards. From a young age, Newt was fascinated by electronics. He would tinker with his father's terraforming tools, often disassembling them completely to examine their parts. This would get him in trouble with his father. Newt would make up for it by building new tools and equipment which simplified his father's work.

Newt's father wanted him to go into terraforming, as Newt's six brothers had done. However, Newt was already bored of doing the same work with the same tools every day. So when he was a young man, he negotiated free passage aboard a shipping freighter in exchange for streamlining their ventilation system. From there, Newt began traveling the galaxy - from ship to ship and port to port. It was a lonely life, so he constructed PAL, the Primary Anthropomorphic Lifesystem.

One day, on a planetary outpost on one of the moons of Gersemi, Newt crossed paths with a strange alien. The alien called himself a "human" and hailed from the faraway planet of "Earth." The human and his crew were stranded, due to a faulty hyperdrive in their ship's reactor core. Newt offered to repair the hyperdrive, and he has been a loyal crewmember of the Icarus and an Argonaut ever since.

Hero Type (Select one): Normal (Non-powered characters)

Power Level (Select one below): 1. Street Level (Ex. Punisher, Daredevil)

Powers (Be Specific): As a Telly, Newt possesses a few interesting abilities. First, his hands and feet can cling to sheer surfaces, allowing Newt to climb walls. Second, Newt can slowly regenerate lost limbs. Lastly, he is an adept swimmer and can remain underwater indefinitely.

Attributes:
Strength Level: Normal Human (relative)
Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 3x Normal Human
Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: Normal Human (relative)
Agility: 5x Normal Human
Intelligence: Genius (engineering/technology)
Fighting Skill: Untrained
Resources: Minimal (but his technological genius allows him utilize minimal resources efficiently)

Weaknesses: As a Telly, Newt's body is adapted to humid, wet climates. When he is outside of such climates, he must wear a bodysuit at all times to keep his skin moist and hydrated. If he removes the bodysuit, he will dry up and suffer extreme discomfort within an hour. His skin is also very soft and vulnerable, meaning that he must wear armor to protect himself.

Supporting Characters: The Argonauts and PAL, his robotic companion.

List a few reasons why you've created that character: Add one part Mass Effect, one part Star Trek, one part Star Wars, mix with a multi-PC team of space mercenaries, and serve chilled over ice.

What can you bring to the RPG?: Experience. Familiarity. Justice.

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

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):

I look down, annoyed, at the tool in my hand. "I asked for a socket wrench, not a sonic screwdriver." I spin on my heels to face PAL. Shaking my head, I hold out the unwanted tool. "Honestly, I don't know what is with you lately." As PAL takes the screwdriver from my hand, I continue, "It's like I didn't even program you with a comprehensive speech analysis algorithm."

The dejected, little robot reverses his treads and swivels at his base. If I had constructed him with a neck, I'm sure he'd be hanging his head right now.

"Oh, come on now," I sigh. "Don't pull this act, you little drama queen. I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings." When he returns with the socket wrench, I pat him on top of his flat head. "That's better. Now, go make yourself useful and check those external pressure valves, would you?" As he rolls away, I turn my attention back to the machine in front of me.

"Newt."

The suddenness of the announcement causes me to jump and drop my wrench. I turn and see Captain Thomas Holloway standing at the entrance to the engineering bay, arms folded behind his back. I pick up my wrench and stand up straight.

"Captain."

Captain Hellfire steps forward, each step slow and methodical - like everything he does. "How's that coolant leak?" he asks.

"Workin' on it right now," I assure him. A sudden crash catches both of our attention. Somewhere around the corner, PAL has knocked something over. "As you can see, my assistant's been... less than helpful today."

"How long until it's fixed?"

"Another day. Two max."

Captain nods. It's the answer he was expecting, I'm sure. "Are we clear to take off?"

I nod vigorously. "Oh yes. She'll be a little sluggish, but she's flight-capable. So long as we don't enter into a chase or a confrontation, we should be fine."

"Fingers crossed, then, Mr. Arthaa." He smiles.

[Johnny Blaze]

Awesome. Eddie, I...I love you. :hrt:

Character you have created: Sviði Cvida, A Kelsan scientist and trader/pilot.

Alias: Svi

Speech Color: Italicized, Steelblue

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Known

Character Personality: Svi grew up in what humans would refer to as a ‘nuclear family’ on her home planet of Frysti. Intelligent and quiet Svi was most comfortable observing and learning. This prompted her to become one of her worlds more promising pupils when it came to the sciences. She does however have an underlying temper that is prone to slow, cool burns. During high pressure situations she’s able to keep her wits about her and react with calm detachment. She has a weakness for items from human culture, specifically books.

Uniform/costume: 'Street' clothes for her planet. Usually natural fabrics and textiles. She often wears a tight shirt and leggings made from some sort of leather, with a loose, flowy, hooded coat over top that. Usually whatever she can pick-up places that fits her.

Origin Info/Details: Sviði Cvida is from the planet Frysti where the inhabitants call themselves ‘Kelsens’. A xenophobic species, in a backwater part of the universe, since first setting foot into space they have created massive barriers around their planet and its satellites. Few Kelsan leave planetside, and even fewer leave the mines, colonies, scientific and military installations and space port in its largest moon. Those who do, do so only after receiving specialized survival and pilot training to function as traders to the few close systems around them. Despite cutting themselves off from the rest of the universe the Kelsans are an advanced species who live in harmony with nature, most of the cultures on the planet pull elements of it into their technology, architecture and art.

Svi was born on the 5th continent in the southern hemisphere of the planet to an artist and astronomer. Despite the fact that Kelsen’s are hermaphrodites up until they bond and then decide their sex in conjunction with their mate, Svi took the pronoun ‘she’ at a relatively early age.
The 3rd of five children, an abnormally large family for her planet, she excelled in theoretical and applied science and in her 80th year, young for a Kelsen who's average lifespan is approx. 300, she was approved to be stationed at the scientific outpost on Frysti’s largest moon (Lexna). There she took part in numerous experiments being conducted with dark matter. Hearing of the planets beyond the special barriers from her older sibling stationed in the military station on the outer moon of Nertril, she quickly became interested in the sciences of aliens that visited the station and the small space port in Lexna. Because the people coming through the port were usually traders interested in profit, very few usable pieces of information were available, much to her frustration so in her 90th year she applied to train as a trader. A highly intensive training experience she learned to fight, how to use weapons most she helped develop) and pilot a space craft, once finished, and with special clearance she passed through the special barrier.

She’s been off Frysti and its domains for over 5 years and survived by staying mostly to herself.


Kelsen physiology:
Hardly seen off their planet or its moons, Kelsens are a unique sight with a life span of up to 300 human years. They are tall humanoids, anywhere from 6 -8 feet tall with a few standing. They have prehensile tails, four arms on their torso with smoothed facial features. Each of their 4 hands consists of three long, slender fingers and one opposable thumb. Their skin is smooth with minimal pores and very little follicles. Their skulls tend to swoop back with a slight point to it, otherwise it is very human-like, and their ears are also smoothly attached to their heads. Silky, thin hair is on their head. Its thickness is dependent upon the individual and usually comes in blacks, blues, greens and violets with very few having a recessive gene for white hair. Their eyes tend to be a darker or lighter variation of their skin tone, with short, dense upper and lower eye lashes mimicking their hair color.
All Kelsens are born a tone of violet, as they age their skin changes from violet to red along the color spectrum. Despite this similarity, color tones and variations of the spectrum are different depending on the home continent or culture each one comes from. Kelsens of the Southern hemisphere tend to be lighter in tone than those in the Southern, with those in the 6th continent retaining their blue/violet tones longer into their lifespan than those on others.
Sexually the Kelsen’s are hermaphrodites, with most waiting to find a mate before deciding to be fully male or female. Their torsos are smooth and show no signs of differentiation until a sex is chosen whereupon those choosing ‘female’ often adapt to have wider hips and slightly more pronounced mammaries. Few choose before mating to choose their sex. Sexuality isn’t a defining feature in Kelsen culture and once they decide on one sex or another they are treated no differently, with the family structure not being influenced.

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):


The crowd moved from the creature like tiny ripples as it passed through. Towering over most of them its tall slender form was at least 2 meters in height. Form fitting clothing looking to be made out of leather show off its rather figureless body underneath a long, thin flowy coat, the hood of which covered most of the form’s face. Looking as out of place as it looked, the species moved into a corner of the busy alien thoroughfare and surveyed the space ships through the large windows.

“Are… are you… it?” The figure looked down at what seemed like a diminutive creature and blinked its large, slanted and dark violet eyes. It nodded slowly watching the small hair covered alien next to it, the small one blinked nervously and then dug into the pouch he carried at his side, before pulling out a small mechanism and holding it before the large form.

A slender hand four fingered hand reached out of the coat; it’s thin, pale violet-blue skin almost glistening in the pale light. Gently taking the mechanism it turned it over and over inspecting it.

”Yes. This will do.” The furry alien blinked at the delicate voice that came from the towering alien. It sounded almost like chimes and took him aback. A small bag appeared in front of his face and as he refocused his eyes he noticed the thing holding it was a thin… tail coming out from under the alien’s jacket.

Sensing the hesitancy the violet-blue creature tilted its head and jingled the bag.
”Are the funds insufficient?”

“Oh, umm.. nononono not a worry.” Taking the bag into his hand a weighing it in his palm he let out a nervous noise and sank back into the shadows of a nearby alley. The violet alien watched with curiosity before looking back at the item in its hand. It was crude, but she was sure she’d get it to work. She turned and walked back down the covered ‘street’, past the vendors and assorted other aliens. Most species she recognized by sight now. Her long legs carried her quickly to her ship which she surveyed with some disappointment. Its damage was almost irreparable, thanks to that freak meteor shower. She let out a sigh, which to passersby sounded like a chime.

A movement caught her eye near her ship and she noticed figures slinking away. Stepping closer she realized what was happening. They were attempting to loot her ship. Striding forward she held out an arm, a thin piece of silver circled down it.

”I suggest you step away from my ship.”

The two figures emerged from the shadows, leering.

“Oh yeah?” The distinctively more oily one said.

Shaking her head and allowing her hood to fall to her shoulders, she stood to her full height and stared them down, a white glow at the end of the silver strip that ended at her hand.

”’Yeah.’”

I apologize for mistakes.. Byrd has been hanging over me all night with a whip. I'd say it was super sexy, except he hits hard :csad:


Character you have created: Sviði Cvida, A Kelsan scientist and trader/pilot.

Alias: Svi

Speech Color: Italicized, Steelblue

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Known

Character Personality: Svi grew up in what humans would refer to as a ‘nuclear family’ on her home planet of Frysti. Intelligent and quiet Svi was most comfortable observing and learning. This prompted her to become one of her worlds more promising pupils when it came to the sciences. She does however have an underlying temper that is prone to slow, cool burns. During high pressure situations she’s able to keep her wits about her and react with calm detachment. She has a weakness for items from human culture, specifically books.

Uniform/costume: 'Street' clothes for her planet. Usually natural fabrics and textiles. She often wears a tight shirt and leggings made from some sort of leather, with a loose, flowy, hooded coat over top that. Usually whatever she can pick-up places that fits her.

Origin Info/Details: Sviði Cvida is from the planet Frysti where the inhabitants call themselves ‘Kelsens’. A xenophobic species, in a backwater part of the universe, since first setting foot into space they have created massive barriers around their planet and its satellites. Few Kelsan leave planetside, and even fewer leave the mines, colonies, scientific and military installations and space port in its largest moon. Those who do, do so only after receiving specialized survival and pilot training to function as traders to the few close systems around them. Despite cutting themselves off from the rest of the universe the Kelsans are an advanced species who live in harmony with nature, most of the cultures on the planet pull elements of it into their technology, architecture and art.

Svi was born on the 5th continent in the southern hemisphere of the planet to an artist and astronomer. Despite the fact that Kelsen’s are hermaphrodites up until they bond and then decide their sex in conjunction with their mate, Svi took the pronoun ‘she’ at a relatively early age.

Thank you kindly sir! Our agreed upon payment is on its way.

Marvel Heroes is a free to play MMORPG set in the Marvel Universe where players can choose over 8000 heroes and villains and customize their characters with thousands of choices.
Spam, much?

[Nicodemus]

Sorry about not posting for the last few weeks guys. I had a lot of stuff come up at once and couldn't really find them time to post at all. But I'm writing up a post as we speak, so Sabetoonth if you're still interested in that team up let's go ahead and get it started.

[Eddie Brock]

Out of everyone on the ship she felt most kindred with Newt. Siv doubted he knew that, but his aptitude with machinery and his perchance for creation instead of destruction made her comfortable around him, despite his creations being ‘primitive’ by Frysti standards.

http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/oh-stop-it-you.png

[Johnny Blaze]

Since Byrd and I have been moving fairly quick-like in our pace, I'm going to hold off a bit before pushing the arc further. Give Twy and Eddie a chance to have their characters do some good ol' fashion interacting before going after Barb.

[sabetoonth]

I just got adware real bad on my computer so Im gonna be out of the game until I can get it fixed. Timing is crap on this

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys, I'll have some posts up soon. This is a tough week for me, but I'll have something up asap

[Eddie Brock]

Post coming. I planned on making it tonight, but I am wiped from spending all day out and about. Tomorrow for sure, because the weekend is gonna be hectic.

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys,

Posts will be coming soon. The next week is going to be absolutely nuts for me as I've recently enrolled in a 9 month college program. 1st week should be pretty intense so I may not be around as much, but things should settle down by the weekend.

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys, been having some trouble with the internet, and that's why I haven't been around much this week. Hoping to have the bugs worked out in the next few days.

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys, as you know I've been having some major internet issues recently. The good news is that it should all be resolved shortly after the 1st of the month. Then my availability will be back to normal. Just bare with me for alittle while longer and everything will be back to the way it was before. Thanks for hanging in there while I've been dealing with everything, and especially to Hound who's really stepped up while I've been trying to get things worked out.

[Johnny Blaze]

No worries, brah! Handle yo biz!

[Hound55]

I... did stuff..?

[NiteMare Shape]

hey guys, good news! The issues that I've been having are supposed to be taken care of on Thursday, so I should have regular access again by the weekend.

[MST3K 4ever]

hey guys, good news! The issues that I've been having are supposed to be taken care of on Thursday, so I should have regular access again by the weekend.

Once you get Director Anderson back up and running I got a way for Phoenix and him to meet up so they can join forces and go from there. I am not dropping him I'm just waiting for things to get into a rhythm.

[NiteMare Shape]

Once you get Director Anderson back up and running I got a way for Phoenix and him to meet up so they can join forces and go from there. I am not dropping him I'm just waiting for things to get into a rhythm.

I wasn't planning on bringing him back as a PC this season, but potentially as an NPC, so we could still work something out.

And....My internet is back up and running, so things should be back to normal. I'm hoping to have something up by the end of the weekend.

[Johnny Blaze]

****beans...I apologize to the crew of the Icarus. I forgot it was on me. :csad::doh:



But why the **** didn't you *******s ***** and tell me I was being a douche and stalling things!? :cmad::argh::woo

[MST3K 4ever]

Sounds good to me..I figured since you sent me a PM discussing your plans for the villains this season this would be away to bring him into the fold.

Anderson could make a "glorified cameo" to establish a relationship with Phoenix and that would be it.

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys, Sorry for the lack of activity. It's been a crazy week with school...seems like every other day I've had exams. I'll definitely have some stuff up by the weekend (and I have the weekend off from work and school, so expect plenty of posting.)

[NiteMare Shape]

Finally got a post up. More to come this week

[Hound55]

I'll have something up in two days as well.

Neck deep in responsibilities here at the moment with little to no help, so you'll have to bear with.

[Eddie Brock]

I'm going to need to drop Newt. It disappoints me because I love PC teams, but my ability to post is far too limited at the moment, and I don't want to hold back my teammates all the time. :csad:

[Johnny Blaze]

****!!! :csad::cmad::BA:jedi

Well, a wise man once said, you must do what you feel is right, of course.

[NiteMare Shape]

So yeah....my computer died on me yesterday. Can't get it to boot up.

Not going to effect my posting ability, because I have another computer I can use...I just don't like it.

But yeah...I just had the urge to ***** about it...

[NiteMare Shape]

I'll try to have a post up tomorrow. School has been kind of nuts, 2 tests today, a test tomorrow then a final on Thursday...gotta love accelerated courses.

[NiteMare Shape]

I had planned on getting some posts in tonight, but we have a pretty good storm going on right now and the power keeps flickering, so I'm just gonna shut down and hold off until the weather gets better. I'll have at least 1 post up within the next few days

[NiteMare Shape]

ok guys, dead serious...posts coming soon. Planned on doing some this weekend but got stuck working doubles all weekend long...I have a couple of big tests this week, but I'll get something in asap.

[NiteMare Shape]

hoping to get at least one post up today. Tomorrow at the latest more that (more than likely) Been putting out small fires at work all week, and had a bit of a family emergency which kind of screwed up my plans for the weekend.

But either today or tomorrow, I really want to get moving on a couple of arcs that I have planned out

[Hound55]

I've chipped away at a start to my next post... Have been spread pretty thin with my responsibilities, but one of them is sadly going to be gone as of Friday so I'll have a lot more time next week.

I'll see if I can get the next post up tomorrow, though.

[NiteMare Shape]

actually working on a post right now, will have it up in a few

[NiteMare Shape]

correction, post is up. More to come

[NiteMare Shape]

Got a couple of posts planned out. I'll probably get something up around Thursday, but definitely by the weekend

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys, I just lost a post I was doing when I submitted it. I'll re-do it when I get home later this afternoon.

[NiteMare Shape]

Post is up. I liked the flow of the one I lost alittle better, but oh well. I'll get some more stuff up soon.

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys, let's get to posting.

I know all the games are somewhat slow lately, but let's see if we can't get things rolling a bit.

That said, I'll have some posts up this week.

[Hound55]

A little busy for the next two days but I should have something up Friday.

[Hound55]

That said, I agree with JamMaster Shape, time to knock it up a notch.

Who's still in, for starters? Haven't heard from Nico or Erin in an age. And Wieg needs to get his arse in here... Unacceptable absence.

Whoa... the AGM power is flooding to my brain. Time to sit down.

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey folks,

Got a big ol' hurricane bearing down on us. Hopefully we don't have too much trouble, though the state is saying to be prepared for power outages that could last for days up to a couple of weeks. So, if I'm not around for awhile after tonight, that's why.

I'm not expecting it to be anything major, but you never know.

[NiteMare Shape]

Made it through the hurricane, but lost power (I'm at work right now). Hopefully it will be on when I get home tonight, otherwise...I have no clue when it will be on.

[NiteMare Shape]

Tap::Tap::Tap::

"Is this thing on?"



So I have power...

I'll get some posts in after Halloween.

Hopefully I'm not the only one besides Hound and MST3K...

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys, I'll try and have at least 1 post up tomorrow.

[NiteMare Shape]

Just a quick post up, I'll get a Blackwind post up later.

[Hound55]

I have no intention of letting this die either, I have three days leave and then the weekend. I'm going to finish up a One Universe post then i'll be getting another one up here.

Due to activity I'm pulling the plug on another solo arc i had planned after the completion of this one, it's time to get back to the Haven and get some more action going with the Guardians.

Good call. I've got some ideas as well.

[NiteMare Shape]

Been working an obscene amount lately...I should have something up by Wed.

[Hound55]

Time evaporated from under me. Had to fix the house up before the owner came, then I was looking after my daughter and the dog by myself which ate a lot of my time.

[NiteMare Shape]

Finally got a post up. Thinking of trying a recruitment thread after the holiday weekend.

[NiteMare Shape]

I'll probably have another post up tomorrow.

Identity: Secret/Known
Known

Character Personality:
A strong will, a sharp intellect, a keen wit and a serious no-nonsense attitude make Dinorah a hard nut to crack. She is cynical, broody and hesitant to connect with those that inhabit this world. Dinorah's human hormones are supercharged due to her demon DNA, which in turn makes Dinorah extremely sexual by nature, a hedonist, though she does not publicly put that aspect of her on display.

Uniform/costume: (Briefly describe or post a picture of what your character's costume looks like)
http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k332/Christopher_Jason/superherohype/16.jpg

Origin Info/Details:
Dinorah Redgrave's mother died during childbirth. She never knew her father. When she turned 12 years old, puberty began to take it's course and on top of the additional "changes" that come with this coming of age, Dinorah had begun with a set of changes different than most girls. After getting extremely ill for weeks Dinorah underwent a transformation. Razor sharp claws from her fingers and scaled wings ripping out of her back, her eyes glowing wickedly. She was more than human. Under the care of her grandmother, the only other one aware of Dinorah's curse, she quarantined herself in the basement for months until she realized the transformations could be controlled. After nearly a year of hiding from the outside world, gaining complete control of her demonic transformations, Dinorah Redgrave emerged as...The Valkyrie. She is on a quest to discover where her powers have come from, knowing that if she can find out who her father is, that may yield the answers she is looking for

Drew Keaton- An expert on the occult, alternate worlds and Demonology. Secretly worships Dinorah, and because of this he is aggressively trying to help Dinorah discover the origin of her powers

Madison Hart - Dinorahs childhood friend, thrust back into her life due to circumstances yet to play out

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue)

"All these poor souls wander this world in search of something they will never find..." Valkyrie thinks to herself as she soars through the night sky, the moonlight guiding her on her path through the city.

"They all have this idea of happiness, as if happiness is something even remotely obtainable. It's not. Human nature decides against it, for when one achieves what they think is happiness, they only want more. Man is never satisfied. Me? I have forsaken any idea of happiness the day I came into this world, when my mother gave her life bringing me into it. Happiness is not what I seek. What I need are ANSWERS. I need to know where these powers, this curse, where it all comes from. I need to know the truth."

She gracefully cuts through the air, her long blond hair flowing in the wind as her purple, dragon like wings proudly span.

"HELP!!" A voice cries from below.

"That man just stole my car! My baby is inside" a panicked mother screams from the streets as a Blue Chevy Caviler speeds off.

"I don't know where these powers come from..." Valkyrie thinks to herself.

"...but I have them, and therefore I have a responsibility I suppose."

The Valkyrie glides toward the moving car at an impeccable speed. The blue Chevy picks up the pace and Valkyrie can see the young 3 year old boy in the back seat. She needs to handle this delicately. It would be so easy to take the car out with her "Siren Scream" but that would easily endanger the child. Valkyrie instead catches up to the car and suddenly drops on the roof, causing the car to swerve. She climbs over to the side and busts in the back window, which frightens the child in the back even further.

"What in the hell ARE you!?!" the crook says as he pulls out his gun and points it at Valkyrie. She reacts as quickly as she can and covers the child's ears tightly. The crook shoots Valkyrie twice in the chest and she winces briefly, keeping her hands tightly covering the child's ears before unleashing her Siren Scream on the crook. His eyelids peel back and his nose begins to bleed as he is in direct contact with the deafening force. He passes out as his eardrums pop and blood spews from them. She grabs the young child and clutches him close to her chest. As the unmanned moving vehicle is set to go over a bridge, Valkyrie projects herself and the boy from the car merely seconds before it goes over the edge and into the water. Valkyrie glides through the air with the screaming toddler flailing his arms and legs, not fully understanding the situation.

Awesome! Can't wait to see what you do with her

[NiteMare Shape]

Quick post up. I'll have some more blackwind stuff up soon.

Nice post JD, digging Valkyrie so far

[Johnny Drama]

Thank you Shape, I enjoyed your recent post, though I need to familiarize myself with your new character more.

[NiteMare Shape]

He's not that well established yet, I had some problems earlier on in the year and unfortunately he suffered because of it. But I'm trying to get him going now. I think you'll enjoy some of the stuff I have planned though. I havesome big things in the works

[Johnny Drama]

So I am still in it early enough to get some momentum, I was worried it was too late in the season lol

[NiteMare Shape]

Oh no, even though the season started back in the spring, it's been pretty slow moving, and I take responsibility for that because I wasn't around as much as I should have been do to circumstances beyond my control.

Things have been going at a crawl, and you have plenty of time to build her up and get some momentum going.

[Johnny Drama]

Sounds good. I can't wait for her to mix it up with the others

[NiteMare Shape]

Post imminent.

And yeah, I did that....

Create a Hero IV

Screen Name: NiteMare Shape

Character you have created: Scott Morse
Alias: Icon

Speech Color:
Blue Veranda

Character Alignment: Hero
Identity: Secret to the public

Character Personality: Before his death, Icon was known the world over as a force for good, having done everything in his power to do what is right for the people of Earth. He believed in the inherent goodness of people, even when they let him down. He never gave up the belief that there is always a better way. He was fiercley to his friends and allies and was always willing to go the extra mile for anyone.
Origin Info/Details: Scott Morse may seem like a normal guy, but he is anything but. Everything about him is a lie, his parents, his older brother as well as his younger sister. None of it is real. Although they raised him as their son, he isn't. In fact, he isn't even really human. Scott was the result of a secret experiment by an even more secret government agency that mixed alien DNA with that of a human. While he was a baby; he was cared for by a woman named Barbara Hill, who was a member of the top secret government agency. What the objective of this experiment was is unknown. While going about her daily tasks at the project, Dr. Hill learned that the program had been terminated, all evidence was to be destroyed, and the baby known only then as SKT-17 (she affectionately called him "Scott") was to be eliminated. Having recently lost her own child due to the actions of a drunk driver who also claimed the life of Dr. Hill's husband, she could not stand the thought that this child who she began to see as her own, could be killed. She stole the child from the laboratory which created him, and fled to the north. She gave the child to a trusted friend, Jacob Morse and his young bride Elizabeth. Soon after, Dr. Hill was tracked down by agents of the government unit and killed. Jacob and Elizabeth took the young baby, and continued calling him Scott as they felt that there would be no need to change his name, seeing as that is what Dr. Hill had called him his whole life.

Scott was raised by the Morse's as one of their own children. He always knew that he was different, that he had these abilities, but he never understood why. As his powers developed throughout his childhood, he became increasingly confused and angry. This was a cause for concern for his parents, because they never understood exactly why their son was this way. Eventually he learned to deal with his gifts. At first he used his gifts for selfish reasons, often profiting from using them dishonestly (mostly in athletic bets). However, after an incident which left his brother crippled, he began using his abilities to help people. He went on to Lost Haven University graduating with a dual degree in history and education, and went on to be one of the more popular teachers at Lost Haven's Sherman High School. It was soon after his arrival in Lost Haven that he would take up the mantle of Icon, and would become one of the world's greatest heroes. After Thwarting an alien invasion along side a ragtag group of heroes, he would form the Superhero team known as The Guardians. However, the public's trust of the new team faltered with the help of the government organization known as S.T.R.I.K.E and its director, Alexander Anderson, who had staged several "meta human attacks" across the city, which led in the director consolidating his power. Eventually, the director was taken down by Isaac Fontaine, aka The Vigilante, but not before he had released his failsafe upon the city, a genetically engineered monster known as Endgame. Icon was able to stop the beast after a long battle that destroyed entire blocks of the city, causing billions of dollars in damage and cost the lives of dozens of citizens. However, his victory came at a price, as Icon himself died soon after due to injuries that he sustained in the battle.

Sample Post
Icon lay on the pavement as Endgame hovered above the city. The creature closed his eyes and concentrated, and in a matter of moments the sky behind him began to twist and churn. Endgame focused his energies and something that could only be described as a tear in the very fabric of reality opened behind him. The tear began to extend and take form, looking more and more like a large wormhole in the sky. The sky continued churning as a massive amount of lightening like energy began pouring from the hole.

Icon forced himself to his feet and was about to go after Endgame when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned and found himself looking into the eyes of Starlight, who was joined by Michael, Flux and Piston. There was no mistaking the looks on their faces...Icon had gone through hell to stop Endgame, and up to that point he had been unsuccessful.

"Get out of my way." Icon said to his friends as he looked up to the sky where Endgame continued to conjure his hellish maelstrom.

"You've done you're part Icon, let us handle the rest." Piston said.

"You need to rest, we can finish this." Michael urged him.

"No, I have to see this through. Kayla...if anything happens to me...make sure you tell Keira that I love her." He said clutching his stomach, noting the fear in Starlight's eyes as she say the blood pouring from the wound.

"I will." She said in little more than a whisper.

With that Icon took to the skies racing toward Endgame. He dug down deep and unleashed another barrage of a sustained optic blast, hammering the creature with everything that he had. As Icon pressed his attack, Endgame roared in anger and frustration even as he returned fire with an optic blast of his own.


"Why won't you die?" Endgame cried as Icon closed in on him.

As Icon approached Endgame, the energy from within the wormhole extended outward, enveloping Icon, each bolt assaulting him with the power of ten lightening strikes. Yet still he pushed toward the creature responsible for so much destruction. Icon continued assaulting the creature with an optic blast as he got into arm's length of him. Endgame swung wildly, but Icon drove both his fists into the creature's chest knocking him backward. Endgame let out a gutteral growl as the suction of the wormhole began pulling at him, drawing him closer to oblivion.

"You've caused so much death and destruction, and for what?" Icon shouts, his voice barely audible over the maelstrom.

"I'm drawing the line right now, this ends now Endgame! I'm putting an end to you here and now!" He said as he hammered Endgame with a thunderous right hand that sent the creature through the wormhole. There was a massive blast of energy from within the rift, and then it collapsed in on itself.

With the wormhole closed, Icon finally had no more to give. He closed his eyes and began to fall back toward the earth. As he fell, a million things ran through his mind. He thought of his friends, particularly Eric and how over the years he had kept the secret of his dual identity. He thought about Keira, and how since Lisa died during the invasion, she had kept him grounded...and more importantly he thought of how much he had grown to love her.

He thought of his family, and how they had stood by him even though he had made mistakes along the way. He thought of his sister Jenny, and how much he missed her...and he thought of his brother Brandon, and how the rift between them had bothered him for so long...and he regretted that he had never been able to put things right between them.

***

Starlight and the others watched in horror as they watched Icon fall from the sky. Starlight had expected him to alter his course and soar over the city like he has done so many times, but he did not. Instead, he continued falling until he crash landed the length of several football fields away. They raced over to where he landed, and found him laying unnaturally still inside of the massive crater that had been created upon impact. Starlight looked down at the man who had become her friend in total shock. She never thought that she would see the day when he looked so vulnerable.

She raced to his side, and kneeling beside him she cradled his head in her arms. As she held him, she was shocked by the amount of blood that he had lost. His shredded blue and sliver costume had turned crimson due to the blood that was oozing from his stomach wound.




"Oh Scott..." She started, unable to finish her thought.

"I...I did it. I stopped him." Icon said weakly, barely more than a whisper.

"You did, you did good Scott." She said as the tears streamed down her face.

As he lay cradled in her arms, he took a pair of deep breaths and then his body finally gave in to succumbed to his injuries. His head rolled back slightly and then his body relaxed.

"Scott? Scott? Oh Scott, please don't leave us." She cried as the others stood solemnly behind her.

None of them had ever thought that anything bad could really happen to him, he was their leader, their friend. But above all, he was Icon, the best among them. But now he was gone, cut down while protecting not only the city that he loved, but the entire world. If there was one thing that they knew, it was that with his passing, they did not know what would come next, but they knew that nothing would ever be the same.

***

Six Months Later....


Like a gust of wind, Blackwind appeared behind his followers as they stood before the open casket. A cold chill washed over the tomb announcing his presence as he stepped toward the casket.

"Is everything ready?" He asks as he looks into the casket, an evil smirk crossing his face.

"It is my lord."

"Ironic, isn't it?"

"What is that, Lord?"

"For years, he fought against me, doing everything he could to keep me confined in my prison, and now...it is because of him that I am able finally return to this world and reshape it I see fit."

With that, Blackwind reached into the casket, touching the corpse and was immediately hit with an erruption of light that emminated from inside the casket. Soon, he was engulfed in a raging torrent of wind and flame which seemed to fill the entire tomb, yet burned no one. It was a sight like none other, for even the man known as Forsaken seemed shaken by what was transpiring, and truth be told might have even felt the slightest tinge of panic had his cybernetic soul allowed it.

When the wind and flame died down, they stood before Him...their dark lord made flesh. He was hunched over slightly as his senses cleared. As he felt the cold stone beneath his feet, he stood up straight, and took his first steps on this earth in millenia.

"Finally...I am free." He said, his voice rumbling in his chest.

"I told you My Lord, we would not fail you."


"Indeed you did, and soon...you will stand at my side as we bring this pitiful world into a golden age...but first, I must rest. Escaping that infernal prison has made me weak. When I am at full strength, we shall take this planet as our own...and anyone who would dare oppose us will be ground to dust beneath or heels."


As Blackwind and his followers left Icon's tomb, they they did not notice the tiniest movement coming from within the casket, the twitch of a finger, or the subtle movement of the fallen hero's chest as air once again raced into his lungs.

APPROVED!

Understand however, that Shape's posts may be occurring further in the future than my own... entirely because of my own slovenly pace.

My posts are still occurring within 24 hours of the start of the season. Now THAT is decompression!

[Hound55]

And because I'm such a monumental c**t I'll follow up that emotional post which gave us life and renewed hope, with death and failure.

[MST3K 4ever]

And with that...I'm back. Let's get this going again!

[NiteMare Shape]

and I'll have some posts up over the weekend.

[Blacklight]

I'm still in this game too... I'm sorry for being monstrously slow, but I'm still working on it.

[NiteMare Shape]

I'm still in this game too... I'm sorry for being monstrously slow, but I'm still working on it.

No worries. And actually...hit me up on PM later on, I have a couple things I'd like you to work into your arc. Just some of the stuff we'd talked about before

[NiteMare Shape]

working on a post now, should have it up in a few

[NiteMare Shape]

Post is up, I kind of ran out of time so I'll add another post most likely tonight to finish off what I wanted to do.

[Hound55]

Have been chipping away on a post in another of the RPGs for... a shamefully long period of time (and have scrapped my efforts and started over more times than I'm comfortable admitting) but I intend to spend tomorrow getting us one post closer to wrapping up this damned zombie solo arc.

Should only be one or two posts left to it anyway.

[NiteMare Shape]

awesome!

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys,

I have finals this week so I may not be all that active as far as posting goes. I was going to try to get something up over the weekend, but I haven't been in much of a posting mood since the school shooting in Ct (which is relatively close to me. I'll probably have something up by the end of the week

[NiteMare Shape]

I was hoping to get some posts in today before work...but plans changed and I have to go in earlier than expected and won't be home til late. I should have some stuff up tomorrow

[NiteMare Shape]

ok...so I lied...


I'm planning to post tomorrow

[NiteMare Shape]

Post is up...because, ya know...I have nothing else to do on Christmas Eve...

[Hound55]

My Christmas Die Hard is coming, so hopefully that'll inspire me to wrap this thing up... or at least get close to it.

[NiteMare Shape]

.... spam much?

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys, I should have something up either tomorrow or Sunday.

I'm also thinking of getting a recruitment thread in the Approval/General forum. See if we can't get some more life into this game

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys, I was going to try and get a post up tonight, but I'm not going to be able to afterall.

I'll get at least one up in the next couple of days, most likely Friday.

Maybe you guys will get some up between now and then too? :oldrazz:

[NiteMare Shape]

Planned to get apost up yesterday, and then again today but I ended up getting a alittle sick, and then had to work today. I sat down to post tonight and I'm actually falling asleep while I'm sitting here. I'll get one up tomorrow though

[NiteMare Shape]

OK....so I got a quick post up. I'll have some more up soon, and an announcement is coming, probably tomorrow

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys,

Announcement time...

As I'm sure you've noticed, this game is not active at all. It is true the this has traditionally been a slower moving game, however there have always been a number of players to get into the game to keep it moving. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

Hound and I have been talking, and we came up with an idea to hopefully get some new players involved. Basically, we're going to come up with a clear jumping on point for new players to enter the game. I'll paste Hound's idea here...

Was thinking, maybe I should wrap up the arc I'm currently doing. We give MST3K time to wrap up his arc since we've caught him in the middle of an arc and then (presuming Shape wouldn't mind since I haven't discussed anything with him yet) he could write summaries of events from the earlier seasons. I could do the same with the later ones (so I'm not burying him in a ton of work without carrying any load myself) and then re-start at a good clear jumping on point for everybody.

I'm loathe to just bin all of the work that everyone's done since more than any other RPG the CAH is the total sum of its posters' creativity. I wouldn't say never, but I'd rather try other avenues before going with a full re-boot. Hopefully if we can give people enough clear information into continuity it'll be easier to jump on board. Make it less intimidating. Easier to follow along.

Once we have a clear jumping on point, I might try something that I had a shot at earlier (if Shape approves), in page-in-a-post summaries. If this works out how I'm seeing it, it'll mean we can get 4 seasons (maybe 3 and a half is closer to the point so far) of the RPG down to about 2 or 4 posts and then from that each page down to an individual post.


Another thing we've been discussing is moving the game to another, more active RPG board. This would be a fresh restart, basically a whole new game. We'll be using the same format as here, and even the same apps. You guys will be able to bring your characters over to the new game.

Even if we move to a new board, I'd try to keep this game running until the end of the season, and then just keep going from the new board.

But I wanted to get your thoughts first.

I think moving to a new board might be our best option, as it looks like the basement is about dead. Other games have already been moving and they seem to be going alright. We do have a board, which we'll post the link to when the time comes.

[NiteMare Shape]

Hey guys, just to let you know, Hound and I have decided to move this game over to another site. The new site is much more active and we have a lot of new players over there. The game has been rebooted from scratch, but some of the old standby's are there, Icon, Kensei, Vigilante and Blacklight.
Here's the OOC thread for the new game if you're interested. http://roleplayerguild.com/showthread.php?187803-Create-A-Hero-OOC
