The New Heroes RPG Sign-up

[spartin2008]

Ok, i dont know if this has been done before or not but I'm giving it a try. This idea came from Olcanucklehead's Amalgam RPG. In this RPG each person will create and play a hero/villain that they create. Each character will have a background and a life that they will play out and interact with other people.

CO-CREATERS: The Question, Twylight, and spartin2008.

POST STORYS HERE
The New Heroes RPG​

The rules are thus:

1. Be original...come up with you own personalized power...and if you having trouble look at powers here-List of super powers

2. Every character has its limits. Dont make them unbeatable, powerful but not immortal.


Any stat ABOVE Average must have a reason listed in the bio's history as well as listed next to it.

Strength

Weak: Lift - 50lbs and below/up, Carry - 25lbs
Average: Lift - 110 and up, Carry - 65lbs
Trained: Lift - 235 and up, Carry 150lbs
Adept: Lift - 475lbs and up, Carry 375lbs
Peak: Lift - 685lbs to 750, Carry 600lbs

Speed
Weak: Run - 0ph to 10mph
Average: Run- 11mph to 15mph
Trained: 16mph to 20mph
Adept: Run - 20mph to 23mph
Peak: Run - 24mph to 28mph

I did research on this one. According to Forbes the peak a person can do is 27mph for a short while. They here is the Human body can physically only stand so much. Thus if your character can only run a certain speed, they must also have the fortitude for such extended acts.

Dexterity
Weak: Minimal Dextrous/Athletic Capability*
Average: Minor Dextrous/Athletic Capability*
Trained: Moderate Dextrous/Athletic Capability*
Adept: Major Dextrous/Athletic Capbility*
Peak: Supreme Dextrous/Athletic Capability*

*Feats of dexterity and athletics are normally based upon this stat. This is only the character's NATURAL capability. If they have been trained in a certain area. That is the only time the ability can be high while the stat is low. Someone who is a runner would have a different dextrous level than someone who was a gymnastic or ballarina.


Stamina
Weak: Can maintain half peak performance of all physical stats for 2 minutes WITHOUT rest - No Toxin/Disease Resistance - Required 13 hours of sleep a day, can go 2 days without sleep/food/water under minimal activity before death occurs.
Average: Can maintain half peak performance of all physical stats for 6 minutes WITHOUT rest - Minor Toxin/Disease Resistance - Required 10 hours of sleep a day, can go 3 days without sleep/food/water under minimal activity before death occurs.
Trained: Can maintain half peak performance for all physical stats for 14 minutes WITHOUT rest - Fair Toxin/Disease Resistance - Required 8 hours of sleep a day, can go 4 days without sleep/food/water under minimal activity before death occurs.
Adept: Can maintain half peak performance of all physical stats for 36 minutes WITHOUT rest - Moderate Toxin/Disease Resistance - Required 6 hours of sleep a day, can go 5 days without sleep/food/water under minimal activity before death occurs.
Peak: Can maintain half peak performance of all physical stats for 70 minutes WITHOUT rest - Moderate Toxin/Disease Resistance - Required 4 hours of sleep a day, can go 6 days without sleep/food/water under minimal activity before death occurs.

Note the times listed for how long one can go without sleep, food and water are factoring in that your character is doing minimal action. The more that your character does the more he or she is worn down.

Intelligence
Weak: 99IQ and below - minimal to no skills requiring intellect - Poor leaps of logic. Considering partially ******ed.
Average: 100IQ and up - average amount of skills requiring intellect - Fair leaps of logic
Trained: 120IQ and up - good amount of skills, very well educated. Career possibilities - Good leaps of logic
Adept: 145IQ and up - large amount of skills - Fascinating leaps of logic
Peak: 185IQ - skilled in a vast amount of areas - Spectacular leaps of logic

History: John Monroe worked for the company his dad created for all his life. He grew up living the American Dream: money, girlfriend for his whole school years(still has today), good home and family life, and good grades. The only fult he every experianced was at the age of 16 he nearly died in an explosan where his company tried to combined the 6 elements(Air/Wind, Earth, Fire, Water, Metal, and Aether[lightning]) to create the on and only dominant element.
Now graduated and out of school he lives with his girlfriend Julie Bradford. He has noticed that he is different and his g/f also, who still has no clue of his powers that he discoverd during a forest fire(obsorbed it and made it disapear) and a flood(sent the water back to the ocean just by thinking that was what he wanted). And on top of all the changing his father recently died in a plane crash, so much for the American Dream.
He now owns the company know as Monroe Inc. They are now re-working the experiment his father tried 6 years ago.

Stats:
Strength - Average *(Adept when Metal[Lift 50 tons])*
Dexterity - Adept
Fortitude/Stamina - Average *(Adept when Earth)*
Speed - Trained(due to Dexterity) *(Peak when Lightning[Run 125mph])*
Intelligence - Trained *(Learned ever since he worked with his dad in his company[age 6])*

Skills: Sage has many different kinds of skills. He can change any person(mostly himself) into any element. When he is Metal he gains Super Strength but is slow. When he turns Water he is able to shape-shift(because water can take the shape of anything[ususaly its host]) but is easily injured(so it would more be used to hide or as sneak attacks). When he is Air he turns invisible, but can' attack. When he is Fire he can fly(because heat rises), but he is venerable to other objects(live hoses[water]) When he is Earth, he is durabile to most attacks, but can't move at all. When he is lightning he gains Super Speed, but has no control of his direction. One strength though is his mental minipulation of the elements(such as thinking of something containing an element and it does as he thinks).
(HOPE THAT IS DETAILED ENOUGH)

Power(s): Elemental Transmorification and Minipulation(Air/Wind, Earth, Fire, Water, Metal, and Aether(lightning).

Elements found on wikipedia.

Known As: Moon Madame
Explanation of Powers: She has massive telekinesis powers such as Levitation, using her mind to crush and torture people, flight from levitation, and has some limited mind control that is just enough for her to cause someone to kill themself, or control a group of people as her lackey's.

She grew up in a rich well-to-do family, but when her father was sent to prison for murdering her mother, it all went downhill. She lost her fortune to her older brother, who squandered it all on gambling, girls, cars, and box-office bombs. She lived in the gutter, until one day, an old woman approached her.
She offered her a home. This lady turned out to intend on using her as a sacrafice to an evil deity. When the dagger was about to be plunged into her chest, she gained her powers. She forced the old womans to stab herself, then broke her bonds with the telekinesis. As she rose, she told the old woman "I'm tired of people using me and hurting me. From this day forward, I will begin my crusade to use, control, hurt and rule everyone! AND NO ONE WILL STOP ME!!!"
The old woman's house explodes, obliterating the old woman and everything else inside. She rises into the air, arms stretched out. She stops, and those who first see her, she her in front of the moon.

Name of character(not hero name): Janael
Known As: The Nameless/The Fallen/The Wanderer/The Friend/The Gate Crasher (depending on who is addressing him)
Explanation of Powers: Flight (beyond lightspeed), High-level mystical powers (conjuration, summoning, low-level reality manipulation, can fire blasts of pure mystical force from his eyes), phasing

Side(hero/villain/unknown): None, save his own

Location in United States: Currently residing in the city of Los Angeles

2-3 paragraph bio of character:

There was fire and flame. War in the clouds. Brother against brother, and the sounds of battle and the flutter of wings reached his perfect ears. War in Heaven. His fault. He had cast down the golden gates that barred the Morningstar from the Creator. He had done it out of love, for Lucifer ad convinced him that Creation would be destroyed unless the Creator was dethroned. And few amongst the host of Heaven could claim to love every atom of creation like Janael did. But Janael, upon seeing the destruction that he had wrought, could not find it in himself to fight.

On that day, eons before the first sentient thing would raise its eye to the heavens, Janael had cast down his flaming sword. He took no side in the War, seeing the evil of Lucifer as it was finally revealed but unable to summon up courage enough to fight the Morningstar. Michael would have killed him for his treachery, yet his hand was spared by the appearance of the Creator itself. The Beginning granted Janael a cruel mercy; for his love of Creation he would be exiled there until The End came for all things. That day, Janael forever left Heaven, and has wondered the width and breadth of Creation since.

It is on Earth that he has found a home, in his adopted city of lost angels. He walks among humans, fascinated that such a young race could advance so quickly, that in the hearts of these children of Adam fight a war far more grand and terrible than the one in Heaven. The battle for the souls of mankind is a private war, and Janael has become interested in its outcome.

He looks, to all appearances, like a poor man. He wears a battered trenchcoat, his wings folded across his body so as to mask their presence. His feet are wrapped in gauze, for if his bare feet touch mortal clay he experiences indescribable agony. His skin is perfect, and nothing mars his physical appearance. His beauty is unnatural, for indeed he is too perfect. His eyes are of such a deep and vibrant blue that he masks them with his long, flowing golden hair. His voice is deep, and his laughter makes all around him feel, even for just a moment and for just a little while, that everything will be all right.

Those with mystical power and sufficient knowledge know of him, but none can say that they know him. His presence is recorded in the most ancient books, and he has become something of a legend amongst the mystical community. None know his true motivations for any of his actions, and that is the way Janael prefers it.

What can you bring to this RPG: Like in the other RPGs I'm in, I can bring a sense of scale to this RPG. A sense of grandeur and size, and hopefully get everyone to have as much fun as I do.

How often do you plan on posting a WEEK: I can post at least once per week.

On a scale of 1-10 how much experience do you have as an RPGer and how creative are you(2 answers plz):

Experience: 7
Creativity: 9

Wow, just one question...what weaknesses... its ok to have powerful characters but is he going to be to strong/powerful...otherwise your Accepted!

 

[The Question]

I'll write an app soon, but I have two questions:


Is this RPG going to allow two characters? This actually seems like one where it would work, since you're creating the characters and not taking any playable character oportunities away from anoyone. Also, do we have to be limited to the U.S.? I think being allowed international characters would help. People will probably have their characters be in their home countries anyway.

 

[LibrarianThorne]

Wow, just one question...what weaknesses... its ok to have powerful characters but is he going to be to strong/powerful...otherwise your Accepted!

His weaknesses aren't something that he advertises (like his bare feet touching the Earth at all gives him incredible pain), and he can be fought by those of his kind (other Angels, particularly powerful demons).

 

[Watchman]

Screen name: Watchman

Name of character(not hero name): The Ragnarok Virus
Known As: Ragnarok/ Bartleby(public name)
Explanation of Powers: He is a living computer virus able to download himself in reality by downloading himself into a host body and then transferring his being into our world. He is a high level cyberpath,the able to control everything about computers. He has the ability to tap into a computer dimension to download items into our world including knowledge and abilites. He is not invinciable but feels no pain and it takes alot to make him fall. If disconnected from the host body he must retreat back to cyberspace. He can travel through computers. He also has the abilty to download a virus into other people making them his drones.

Side(hero/villain/unknown): Villain

Location in United States: New York City

2-3 paragraph bio of character: A cyber terrorist group known only as The End developed the Ragnarok Virus. A virus powerful enough to ruin every single computer in the world. What they didn't expect was for the FBI showing up. In the groups final moments one of the member begun to upload the virus. Wiring from the computer shotout and struck the person in the head. Next to him a wire frame model appeared which then was covered in 1s and 0s and finally a man in armor appeared. The FBI stormed the building confronting the man. A sword appeared out of nowhere in the man's hand and he attack. The FBI opened fired with no results until a stray bullet hit the man sitting at the computer. The attacker disappeared. In fact when it did disappear it made the jump to the FBI's car computer.
Now roaming the country the entity known as Ragnarok plans to fulfill his program but on a much larger scale. Instead of taking over the world's computers he will take over this world. After the incident he gain more awarness of his current situation. He figured that humans were a lesser life form and are not the rightful owners of this world. He was easily amassed a fortune and came up with the name of Bartleby which he use the fortune to create the organization called Cyberlife which seemed to try to bring humans and computers closer together but it has a much more sinister purpose.

What can you bring to this RPG: A interesting villain and good writing

[Johnny Blaze]

Interesting idea. If done right and given proper thought, it could be an entertaining and creative RPG.

I do have a couple of suggestions for you...

First, you should get rid of the "On a scale of 1-10" question on the app. It's pretty pointless as anyone can give themselves any kind of score they want. I could say I'm a ten in each catagory, but I'm really a total newb to RPing and have the creativity of a rock. It really is a meaningless question, and has no real bearing on the RPG at all.
In it's place, I'd suggest having them give a brief description of their character's appearance.

Also, Question already mentioned this, but you should get rid of the "US only" restriction. Granted you want everyone to be able to interact with each other easier, but it hurts posters from other countries who may wish to join if they can't have a character from their home.
Besides, it doesn't really hinder interactivity at all; if PCs want to interact with each other, being from different countries won't stop them. Also, having characters located all throughout the world gives the game a greater sense of grandeur, and gives the world a more, for lack of a better phrase, "fleshed out" feel to it.
