My two glorious submissions. I find this RP interesting and thought I'd hop aboard. [hider=Blusey "Izzy" Fluesy] [center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/WxBzKI1.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Blusey Fluesy (Just goes by "Izzy" for obvious reasons) [b]Age:[/b] Unknown. She appears to be of high schooler age, however, due to her Seal power's side affects, she is forced to be forever young. Thus, she is most likely in her late thirties, early forties. [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://i.imgur.com/j3TwqGW.jpg?1[/img] Standing at around 5'6, Izzy has a very athletic figure thanks to her rigorous daily training routines. She typically wears her trench coat over her uniform, most likely to hide the fact she's carry several large knives and a pistol on her person. [b]World of Origin:[/b] Taboo Tattoo [b]Powers/Equipment:[/b] "Power Crest Airburst" The Power Crests are ancient objects developed into powerful weapons by the United States. They appear in the form of permanent tattoos that give the user supernatural abilities. As somewhat of a standard, every Power Crest gives the user superhuman strength, speed, and senses. Users can react faster, hit harder, and move swifter than any normal human. On top of that, however, the Power Crest grants the user a unique ability. For Izzy, she can control the air around her, giving her a wide range of attacks. She can make a grenade by filling a piece of rubble with incredibly pressurized air, enhance her jumps, use pressure/shockwaves to burst a victim's organs (much like an explosion), ect. However, these powers come at a steep cost. First, most Power Crests require a "Trigger" to activate. In Izzy's case, she has to hold chalk in the hand that has her tattoo. The chalk would be absorbed, the Crest activated. This is why Izzy always carries a specially made holster of chalk on her legs. Secondly, there are side affects of using a Power Crest. Izzy was unfortunately freeze at a young age, leaving her forever young. To some, this may actually seem like a benefit, but to Izzy, being treated like a kid for the rest of your life hasn't been fun at all. "A Master of CQC" Without her Power Crest, Izzy is still an incredibly capable fighter. Her close combat skills and athletic abilities usually put her leagues above most normal martial artists. Now when you do combine that with her powers, well, let's just say those punches are usually her final word in a conflict. "Guns and Blades" Being a member of the US Army, Izzy is fairly adept, but not an expert, in firearms. She usually carries a semi-automatic handgun on her. She is, however, quite skillful with a blade, and typically carries two fixed blades. [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] In the modern world, there exist two superpowers. First and foremost is the United States, with the worlds largest GDP. However, very close behind, is the Kingdom of Selinistan in Southeast Asia. These two world powers in recent years have started butting heads more and more often, with the threat of war looming in the distance. The US needed a trump card, something that would incredibly boost there strength over the mighty Kingdom of Selinistan, who was leading the world in various technologies. The US found their trump card, in the form of power ancient artifacts. The US Army began studying the powers of these artifacts, in hope of unlocking their secrets. However, the Kingdom had also begun researching these Artifacts and began making their own soldiers infused with Power Crests. As the US began to learn more about the Power Crests, a researcher stole some of the stones that are used to infuse the user with the Power Crests, fleeing to Japan to sell them to the various criminal elements there. Thus, the US military discretely dispatched a team of Power Crest users and Special Forces to hunt down and recover these artifacts. Izzy, a lieutenant in the Army, leads one of those teams of hunters to track down and "recover" the stolen Crests. [b]Personality:[/b] Generally speaking, Izzy is a friendly individual who can sometimes get ahead of herself in terms of combat. Occasionally she can be very intrusive and nosey, but overall it's usually because she wants to protect her friends. However, when one tries to get her to talk about her own past, she gets very standoffish and angry, typically never revealing anything that happened long before. It seems Izzy doesn't want anyone to know about her past, and wants it to stay that way. [b]Other:[/b] (Finding a suitable theme song) [/center] [/hider] [hider=Walter Kroncite "The Middle Man"] [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/oA5Bpdx.jpg[/img] [i]"I still get a kick out of people asking how I see with this thing on. Come on guys, remember what year we live in?"[/i] [b]Name:[/b] Walter Kroncite "The Middle Man" [b]Age:[/b] Sounds like he's in his late 20s, early 30s... probably is. [b]Appearance:[/b] Stands at around 6 feet, has a medium build to him. It can be understandable to suspect he's an android of some sort, given that you rarely ever see any actual skin, let alone his face. He sleeps in his gear, and get's his food through a straw from the commonly sold "nutrition packs" that taste like green paste.... [b]World of Origin:[/b] Sort of an OC idea from a art series made by this guy: [url=http://duster132.deviantart.com/] Duster132's BABIRU Project[/url] [b]Powers/Equipment:[/b] "Exo Suit" As seen in the image, Walter wears a unique looking helmet and wears a light exo-suit. This helmet functions as a gasmask as well as giving basic info on his current state of health as well as some basic communication tech. It also protects his head... but that's a given... His helmet and head are usually wrapped up in his prized shemagh as seen in the images, something he holds in great value for unknown reasons. The aforementioned "exo-suit" is a older model from the late 21st century, meaning that it lacks some much needed upgrades. For example, new models run on small Fission batteries, meaning that you'll probably be dead before that thing runs out of juice. In Walter's case, the older designs run on a less advance battery system, thus it tends to be unreliable when placed under high strain. Because of this, the battery life varies on it. Think of it as a smart phone. Give it a good charge, and it could run the whole day, but try watching videos on 4G, or play some mobile game, and you might be out of juice within an hour or more. So he has to choose when to push it to the limit and when to tone it back a notch. Regardless, it increases his physical abilities and endurance, from lifting heavier objects to jumping greater heights and distances. [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] Some say that he's a kill drone from the government.... others say that he once met the queen of England, but wasn't introduced to the king.... All we know is.. he's called the Middle Man! Joking aside, this faceless hero has had a checkered past to say the least. It is one that is confusing at its highest level of clarity. You see, if you asked Walter about his past, he will always give you a different answer. Sometimes he might give some long, drawn out story of crazy adventures in the mega city of Babiru in South America, explaining he got this helmet and exosuit after he broke into a crime ring lab and stole their high tech gear. Other times he will simply say that he's been scrounging around for years and the suit he wears is a symbol of how lucky one can be while out there scavenging from the husks of buildings from bye-gone days of the 21st Century. Hell, he even claims to have been in space! Needless to say, his past is shrouded in mystery, but its the kind of mystery people get tired of trying to pry out of him. [b]Personality:[/b] [i]"So yeah, people always assume the faceless, masked man or woman or whatever the fuck your calling em these days... err... anyway, people always assume that he's gonna be all 'quiet and reclusive' cause he's not just hiding his face, he's hiding his soul or whatever bullshit. As you can already tell, I'm a pretty talkative guy, I like to chat people up, hear about the ups and downs of the true down under. Maybe I just like wearing this kick ass helmet! Who knows? It ain't your business and it shouldn't be!"[/i] Walter is a pragmatic, friendly man who despite his, perhaps, intimidating appearance, is actually quite approachable and sociable. He enjoys hanging out with people and seems to be generally a helpful dude. Isn't to nosy about your personal life, nor will he pry for any deep stuff out of you when you don't want to. All around, he's a skeptical, smart dude who's just getting through life in his own way. [b]Other:[/b] Theme WIP [/center] [/hider]
