Ground Zero: OOC

[NiteCrowe]

Superheroes.

Now, when we think of Superheroes we think of Spandex, flying and capes. Well, basically we simply think of Superman, Batman, Wolverine, Hulk and Spiderman.

Then the superhero world was changed with new looks into that world in the form of Nolan's Batman Saga and Marvels Ultimate Comics.

And this is where we begin.

GROUND ZERO.

Where superheroes are grittier and more.... Real.

So, if we make our characters, they can be powered or not, have been active for a while or not, or brand new to this game. Our story shall start with something happening which brings our team together, and go on from there.

For each character we make, I will create a super-villain/nemesis for them.

I will probably criticise most creations, because I don't want anyone too powerful ect ect.

CHARACTER CREATION

In everyones Bio, I want to see at least the following few things...

Name
Alias
Power
Identity (Are they publically known, or is it secret? Compare Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark)
History
Years Active


With regards to Powers, here is a good link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_superhuman_features_and_abilities_in_fiction

Please consider means and methods as well.

Now, for the power based rules...

No....

Magic
Power Bestowal
Accelerated Healing (At least not like wolverine)
Time Travelling
Merging
Reactive adaptation/evolution
Omniscience
Cross-dimensional awareness
Precog
Immortality (Unless they simply can't die a natural death)
Reality Warping
Resurrection
Time Manipulation
Omnipresence
Gods


If you want to be a mutant or alien, please tell me via PM, as I don't wants lots of either, and I want some control over those things.


And so we begin...

 

[NiteCrowe]

Name: Robert Wynne
Alias: Warfly
Species: Human Mutant / Homo Sapiete
Identity: Secret
Years Active: 5
Age: 22

History: Warfly is the son of the retired heroine Hornet and deceased Supervillian-turned-hero Starscam.

He grew up being trained by his parents, and always dreamt of being a hero like his parents and uncles and aunts, but was never allowed to until he turned 17.

He despises his parents reputations, despite loving them, as he feels that people expect him to be like them, whereas, in fact, he is like neither. Whereas his mother was fashionable and a socialite, and his father a jock, he is a traditional geek.

He is also the Grandson of the Now-Deceased Supervillain: Baron Lunos.

Powers: Size manipulation, Wings & Concussive Blasts

He has inherited his Mothers Wings and Size manipulation ability, which she gained via biological manipulation at the hands of her father, Baron Lunos, in his attempts to create the perfect soldier.

He also uses his fathers bracers, which can produce concussive blasts, which were also a creation of Baron Lumos's which were given as a present to Starscam. However, they are not infinite, and often run out of charge.

Costume:

He wears a black skintight wetsuit, and a Bug shaped mask that has a built in Communications system and night vision goggles.

Gabriel Melda

Name: Gabriel Melda
Alias: Gryphin
Species: Mutant
Identity: Secret
Years Active: 3
Age: 20

History: Gabriel was born into a loving family all that changed when he turned 17 and his power manifested itself, after a name change and moving away from his home town, Gabriel was forced to look after himself. He found work in a corner bakery as a delivery boy, working hard and saving as much money as he could, he found himself another job in Computer Shop and after two years he had a stable job, as he had taught himself and was sent on various courses to gain knowledge, as a PC Technician.

Gabriel had decided when his powers manifested that he would definitely help people with his power, even if that means that they would want to kill him if they found out what he was. Taking on the name Gryphin, he started his crusade against "evil", usually just leaving unconscious criminals in his wake, never stepping up to claim any fame. In the underworld though word was spreading about him and Gryphin was now a word that brought up either fear or anger. To augment his skills as a crime fighter, Gabriel had been studying Ninjitsu. He wears a black outfit, that reminds one of a one-piece overall without pockets, with kevlar sewn into the inside of the suit. He wears a black full faced mask, there is a tribal sign over the shoulders of the suit.

Powers: Kinetic and Focused energy absorption and release as power blasts

I'm thinking about a guy that teleports. But he doesn't teleport himself, he can only teleport other things and as an extra limitation perhaps only what he can see to other places he can see.

Name: Kaelin Shae Mercer
Age: 26
Hair color: copper
Eye color: emerald

Alias: Whisper

Power: Phasing

Phasing is the ability to pass through solid matter without being harmed. Phasing renders her almost completely intangible to physical touch and allows her to freely go through most objects except those of very high density. Since she in unable to breath while 'inside' an object she can only continuously phase through solid objects for as long as she can hold her breath. While in her phased state she does not physically walk on surfaces but rather interacts with the molecules of air above them, allowing her to ascend and descend as she pleases.

Identity: secret
Years active: 4

History:

after her power manifested at an early age her politician mother captured her best friend and locked her up in a room that Kaelin could not phase through. Her mother then forced her to steal in exchange for someday earning her friends freedom. After a heist went wrong which subsequently resulted in the death of an innocent bystander Kaelin offered herself up to the government on the condition that they free her friend.
Due to her mother having connections inside the government she found out what her daughter planned and murdered her friend before vanishing. Kaelin has spent everyday since then trying to track down her mother. She now does her best to help people hoping to atone for all the wrongs she had been forced to do in the past.

[lexe]

Name: Anthony Delucia
Alias: White Rose, Eric Albrecht
Power: Highly intelligent, Highly Charismatic, Superior hand-to-hand fighting skills, Hardened Skin(not impervious, just harder than normal)
Identity: Secret at first, now public
Age: 26
History: White Rose isn't a hero, per se. Vigilante is more akin to what the world sees him as, but even then, thats giving him a lot of credit...

Ten years ago, Anthony Delucia discovered his 'mojo'. The girls loved him, the guys respected him, his teachers adored him. Everything was going right for a 16 year old in the midwest. He aced all his tests, and was looking at a full ride to an ivy league college via early placement. Perfect score on his SATs.

Everyone was in love with him. So much so the government grew wary of his stirrings. Anthony lived near an abandoned Nuclear power plant, one that the government hadn't abandoned. The government was secretly releasing tiny doses of highly radioactive waste into the ground water and following it with an experimental radiation neutralization agent. They were studying the effects of the combination on both the humans and the wild life.

They brought Anthony in for tests to see if it was a freak mutation in him from the contamination they were releasing. But they didn't expect him to fight back. Try as they might, they couldn't put him under to preform the tests. They just couldn't break his skin with the normal needles, and they couldn't force him to take the medicine by mouth... a few of the men had tried. Eventually, they decided to lock him in a room in the abandoned plant until they figured out what to do with him.

Anthony broke out and went on a rampage. He quickly learned how to throw a few punches, and made his way out. He got back home just in time for his funeral. They say he died in a freak explosion when he was hanging out near the abandoned power plant. They killed him to his parents. His friends, His life. Once on top of the world, now a nobody. He decided to get his revenge on the government-- in blood. He spent the next few years killing anybody related to what happened to him. He finally felt that his pain was avenged.

From that point on, he devoted his life to living in peace, away from the eyes of the government. He moved to Toronto to live under the name Eric Albrecht.

One day he saw a young child being beaten to death by some thugs in a back alley and developed the name White Rose. He dressed in an all white jumpsuit with a white trench coat and white mask. He proceeded to protect anybody at any cost.

Eventually the United States government tracked him down and covertly brought him back to the United States where he was given trial for his crimes against the government. He escaped and has several law enforcement agencies out for his arrest, at all costs. Anthony Delucia, aka White Rose, aka Eric Albrecht is to be taken in by all means necessary, dead or alive. Recently the hunt for White Rose has ended. After saving congress from a hostage situation, the president has issued a full pardon on one condition-- He gives up his life as a vigilante and retires.

No chance.

[Avellan13]

Oh boy, wait until the other guys see these posts.

 

[EnclosedOne]

and we're not even in the sexual rp forum hehehe

guess my mind is just always in the gutter but I can't help it cause it's fun!

 

[Avellan13]

True the IC forum might as well go Sexual RP.

What Do You Think NiteCrowe? Are there going to be any sexual acts? If there are any then I think EnclosedOne and I might get carried away. So you then you might as well put this under the Sexual RP.

 

[DeathsKnight]

Uhm guys sex is permitted in the ORP unless stated otherwise by the thread starter. The thing is just that your story can't revolve around sex. Avellan should know seeing that he is part of the thread Decadents and Dropouts. There is sex, but the story doesn't revolve on it.
