[OOC] Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG (Closed)

[nitemare shape]

And Forsaken is in another country, so he's not worried about the riots at all. He's self contained at the moment, speaking of which, I may just have to work on a post for that evil bastard

[nitemare shape]

Finally a Forsaken post. This time he got a little more personally involved

[Athinar]

@nitemare shapeWell damn. He really is an evil bastard.

Equilibrium: "You see this shit? This is why I got involved in the Meta scene. To keep stuff like this from happening."

VKTR-17: "Stuff it, nerd. Leave it to the professionals."

@Athinar

lol, glad you enjoyed it.

[Dedonus]

@Raptorman Hopefully the collaborative post between me and @NeutralNexus should be up maybe tomorrow. We just need to finish up the last bit.

[Athinar]

I decided to put the finished CS here, so you wouldn't have to wade through the OOC.

Uskriss Ranore

A little something. I noticed a distinct lack of shamans. ;)



Character you have created: Uskriss Ranore
Alias: The Wolf

Speech Color: Color=Tan

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret (Known to his family)

Character Personality: Brash, impulsive, and loud, Uskri is unafraid to speak his mind, no matter what the cost. He will always place himself in harms' way to protect others, and challenge any repression, be it of the government, villains, or even other heroes. However, he doesn't use his powers unless he absolutely has to. In addition, he loves children and the elderly, and will fly into a blind rage if they are harmed.

Uniform/costume:

Picture

Origin Info/Details: Uskri was born to a family of vaguely Norse-Irish/Native American descent in the Tornegat Mountains of Newfoundland, Canada. They were the one family that lived in the woods, that everyone suspected had mystical powers. Turns out, everyone's suspicions were right. Powerful shamans in their own right, they communed with nature, helping everyone in the nearby town live a little easier. However, recently, they felt a calling to Lost Haven. To do what, they didn't know. Still, they'll do the best they can, to make everything in Lost Haven right.

Hero Type (Select one):
Muscle (Shaman)

Power Level (Select one below):

World Level

Powers (Be Specific):
Astral Vision- Uskri can see into the spirit world, and communicate with the spirits therein. He can also see the auras of people and places, able to discern the slightest detail.
Planar Manipulation- Uskri can call upon the primal forces of a plane to bind a spirit. However, he prefers to form a contract with one, rather than force it into bondage.
Ley Line Evocation- While located near a Ley Line, where the borders between the Spirit World and the Physical World fray, his spirits increase in power.
Nature Attunement- Uskri can speak with animals and the spirits of plants.
Spirits- Uskri is in a contract with five spirits, fire, water, wind, earth, and lightning.
Motega the Flamewrought- This particular spirit allows Uskri to generate fire, and manipulate it, to a degree.
Tadi the Waterborn- Tadi allows Uskri to manipulate water, and gives him regenerative powers. Said regeneration works only if Uskri focuses, however.
Taizihr Windancer- Taizihr lends Uskri his agility and flight ability.
Yarheg Rockmantle- Yarheg lends Uskri his immense strength and vitality, and the ability to shape the earth.
Nakrirlun of Thunder- Nakri allows Uskri to empower his attacks with lightning, and cause small thunderclaps when they hit.

Attributes:

Strength Level: 50 tons.

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 100+ MPH.

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: 3 1/2 hours, at best.

Agility: 15x Human Level

Intelligence: Average

Fighting Skill: Mastered

Resources: Minimal

Weaknesses: Uskri's spirits are not omnipotent, and there are things that even they cannot accomplish. In addition to this, Uskri, while extremely skilled in fighting, is still mortal. Even with the enhanced vitality, Uskri can be killed, if one is determined enough.

Supporting Characters: Uskri's family currently resides with him in their apartment in Lost Haven, and they are a tight-knit group.

Allaenna (Ally) Ranore- Uskri's spirited younger sister. With brown hair, and emerald eyes, the teenager stands at 5'1". She has bonded to only one spirit, a wind spirit named Askan.

Dathan Ranore- Uskri's younger. With black hair, the green eyes of the Ranore family, and a height of 6'2", Dathan is the perfect example of a friendly middle child. He has bonded to three spirits, one fire, one water, and one lightning.

Via Ranore- Uskri's mother. The elderly shaman is known for her kindness, but don't let this fool you. Underneath her tiny form, resonates pure power. She has black hair, with streaks of gray, and the typical green eyes of the Ranore.

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

Sample Post:
Uskri smiled as the children surrounded him in a circle, clamoring for another story. "C'mon, Mistah Uskri! Tell us another story!" "Yeah, tell us, tell us!"

Uskri smiled, and shook his head as if mulling it over. "I dunno, kids, wouldn't your mom want you to come home? It's almost suppertime."

With a resounding "NO!" The children all made the most pathetic faces possible. "Pleeeeease, Mista Uskri? We don't have supper for ten whole minutes!" "Yeah, we have time! And if you don't tell us another story, we'll be saaaaad!"

With a smile, Uskriss patted one of the children with his huge hand on the head, and said, "Well, alright, but if you get in trouble, tell Mother Mary that it wasn't my fault!" The children nodded emphatically, and settled in, listening to Uskri intently. Leaning forward, Uskri spun his tale.

Back when the world was young, and the Seelie and Unseelie courts hadn't begun their feuds, back when Odin hadn't sent his third crow to the New World, there was a Dog, with eyes that were like stars. In some places, it was known as Coyote, in other places, as Fox. However, names didn't matter to him, so let's just call him Dog.

Dog traveled across the world, shaping it. He created all creatures, the birds, the mammals, the fish, even the bugs. However, there was one thing that he didn't create. Mother Gaia. The earth, essence of life. This might not seem important now, but listen.

After he had created everything, Dog saw that the creatures couldn't see, and were fumbling around in the dark, helpless. So he went to Mother Gaia, and said, "Mother Gaia! My creatures can't see! It's too dark for them! Can you help?"

Mother Gaia said, "Here, have some of my flame. It burns bright."

Dog took it, and gave it to the animals, but it quickly went out of control, and the earth started to burn. Dog put it out, and then returned to Mother Gaia. "Mother Gaia, your flame is out of control! What am I to do?"

Mother Gaia said, "There is nothing I can do. You must find a way by yourself."

Dog was sad when he heard this, but then he thought long and hard, and realized something. His eyes were bright, were they not? So he took his left eye, and made the sun, and he took his right eye, and made the moon. Now, you would think that he'd be blind after this, but this was not the case. Both of his eyes could still see, and it is said that, to this day, Dog watches over us all, protecting us from That Beyond The Veil.

---

The children sat before Uskri, enraptured. Eventually, one spoke up.

"So he... ripped out his own eyes? To save all of his creations? That is.... SO METAL!" The oldest child stood up.

Uskri chuckled, and said, "I'm... not quite sure if that was the moral of the story... But it totally is! Gimme five, little man!" After Uskri gave Aiden a high-five, he got a glimpse of his watch, and stood up, clapping his big bear hands. Shooing the kids to the door, he said, "Now kids, it's really time for you to go home for supper! Give your mom my regards!" With various assurances and confirmations, the trio scampered out of the room, only to be waylaid by something distracting in the kitchen, most likely Mama Ranore's cookies. Oh well. At least Ms. Anderson couldn't say that they didn't eat. Whatever happened, Uskri took pride in the fact that he was able to change something in the community, beyond cracking skulls of thugs and gang toughs. It made him feel good.

@Athinar

Approved

[Athinar]

@nitemare shapeSweet! I'll get an introductory post up soon!

[nitemare shape]

Very nice

[Dedonus]

I'll see what I can do about an Arachne post in the next few days (hopefully sooner than later).

[nitemare shape]

Yeah, not entirely sure what Icon should be doing now

[Fallenreaper]

Yeah, not entirely sure what Icon should be doing now

@nitemare shape

He could stand there and look pretty for once?

[Dedonus]

Yeah, not entirely sure what Icon should be doing now

@nitemare shape

I'll try to think of a way to prompt an opening for Icon in my next Arachne post.

[nitemare shape]

cool

[NeutralNexus]

Alright, it's a doozy, but Dedonus and I got our collab finished!

[Dedonus]

@Raptorman: The collaborative post between NeutralNexus and me should be up soon, whenever @NeutralNexus gets around to posting it.

Edit: Speak of the devil. It is postd. :D

[Athinar]

Heehehehehhehehehe. I like War-Pulse even more. For some reason, when the heroes act like that, I always root for the not-so-hero.

[Dedonus]

Arachne: *reads over the Dedonus-NeutralNexus collaborative post* "What the heck, guys?" *Proceeds to slap Dedonus and @NeutralNexus.

NeutralNexus: *pointing at Dedonus* "He started it..."

Arachne: *punches Dedonus in the stomach* "Perverts."

Dedonus: "@nitemare shape, my character is physically assaulting me. Could you do something about it?"

Arachne: *towards NMS* "Do you really want to get involved with this?"
