The Create-A-Hero RPG Season III OOC Thread

[NiteMare Shape]

See, I almost want to pick up The Citizen so those villains can get their due. But I also want to pick up Mantis because, well, he's my guy. And I feel bad that such concepts as Phantom, Flux, and Amazing Man are floating around without a place to call home.

Well...if you pick up Mantis you can bring Flux in as a supporting character again...

We'd love to have you back with any of your characters......

Well, Flux does get some representation with the Guardians, so that's good.

We shall see.

Quick fix:

Lul wait I used a different shade on the chest...minor stuff but I'm picky about these things. ~_~

Gonna fix again.

That is true, though we have been kinda shy about using her in any capacity in case you came back.

But we could always implement her a bit more if it was alright with you. We just haven't because we didn't want to mess with anything you might want to do if/when you came back

Create a Hero RPG SEASON III Application

Character you have created: Sean Abbott
Alias: Mantis

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

Resources: Minimal.


Weaknesses: Sean's a high school kid. His life is already crazy enough without the superpowers and the crimefighting. 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: Sean's closest confidant is his best friend, Jim Harrison, who also happens to know Sean's secret. Sean's girlfriend, Brooke McFadden, does not know his secret - which can get Sean into trouble. For some time, Sean has tried to rekindle a friendship with Vince Daniels - an old friend who hasn't had much time for anything other than school. On the flipside, Sean has been trying to get away from Marilyn Freel, a possessive ex-girlfriend with a serious attitude problem. Sean also has another friend, Abby Smith, who moved away six years ago. Sean is very close with his sister, Vicky, as well.

Mantis's contact in the Carver Lake Police Department's metahuman division, the SDS, is Sergeant Hampton. The two have a mutual partnership which helps keep Mantis out of the police's crosshairs. Dr. Reed is the SDS's chief physician and metahuman expert, and he occasionally helps Mantis as well.

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.

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

Sample Post:

I need a theme song.

Okay, okay, it seems like a silly thing to be thinking about while I'm running around the city at night, but - I mean - c'mon! Tell me it wouldn't be sweet to have a theme song? Like, any minute now, some crime's going to break out, and you know what my grand entrance will be? I'll just show up. If I'm in the mood, I might throw out a quick one-liner. But that's it! Whereas if I had a theme song, I could burst onto the scene!

Man, I am so bored. Is this really what I'm thinking about? Theme songs? I have a chemistry test at the end of the week, and I'm trying to reword showtunes to incorporate the words 'Mantis,' 'crime,' and 'dreamy?' Well, Sean, I'm glad to see you have your priorities straight! I mean, it's not like your alien friend came to you and warned you of impending doom.

Oh, wait. Yes. Yes, she did. I have an alien friend, and she warned me of impending doom. As you can probably imagine, it was quite the upbeat reunion. Would I have preferred to discuss who we'd want to win American Idol instead? Of course! But it wouldn't be a day in the life of Sean Joseph Abbott if there wasn't impending doom!

"Wow. I am bored," I announce aloud. "For the love of all that is good and holy, please let there be a crime to stop."

Wait. What's that? Sirens? Oh, boy! Sirens!

That's probably wrong of me to say, right? Oh well! It gives me something to do! I look to the heavens, point, and say, "Guess I owe you one, Buddy."

Meh...lemme think about this one for awhile.....


Approved!

 

[Eddie Brock]

Feel free to go wild with Flux, by the way. I think I established her personality pretty well. If you guys just follow that more or less, you'll be fine.

I'll have another Director post up in the next day or so. I'd do it tonight but I honestly don't have the energy to post again...nearly a 12 hour day at work and my head is spinning....

 

[Eddie Brock]

Mmm. Like an old pair of shoes.

Also, Carnage, Desmond should totally transfer to LHU so he and Sean will be classmates.

Nice post EB, glad to have Sean back in the fold

 

[Eddie Brock]

Also, I'm totally operating under the time-honored comic tradition of: "Timelines? **** timelines." So if it's not really early summer in Lost Haven, just ignore it and do your own thing. That's what I plan on doing.

Actually..I think it's about right to tell you the truth...The invasion was about late fall call it mid to late november....then the 6 month jump from then, then the 1 month in game jump between seasons so we're looking at late may/early june

 

[Eddie Brock]

Booya! *Final Fantasy victory music*

I am working on an Ultima post as we speak. Gonna really get the ball rolling here.

After that? I was thinking of applying for a 2nd character....

Oh, he will be there. Penny is there, as are two other characters I plan on introducing later in the season.

Once my short Xerxes arc is done, I'm going to move into Cerberus's first big baddy and at the same time have him transfer in.t:

 

[Hound55]

If I don't get a post up within about 30 hours I won't be able to until the weekend...

I'll try and find the time to get another in though.

Also, I'll be emailing myself entire pages of the IC thread to try and get a few more page summaries done over the weekend. I want to get a chunk of them done before January since I'll be interstate on holiday then and I'm not sure exactly how that will affect my posting (bare minimum I should be able to find the time for much of that month though, just probably not for the summaries)
