[OOC] I wanna be a HERO! - One Punch Man-inspired anime superheroes RP

[VitaVitaAR]

Hmm, you'd have to give me a little more information.

[Hillbilly12]

For portals there would be a size limitation.. Probably around 2 meters or so in height and width. The portals work similarly to portals in the videogame "Portal" (portal is going to be said a lot) so essentially there is a limit of two portals. You walk through Portal A and come out B which is rather simple. There is a limit on distance you can separate both A and B which would be (just doing an estimate) 50 meters. Within this limit (this is where potential abuse comes from) however there is a possibility to place portals in such a way that an object being sent through will fall endlessly. Its impossible for a portal to close in such a way it can tear apart the object being sent through. To put it simply it can't cut a person in half nor can it trap them and even if something can't fit through it will simply pop out.

I may have more limitations in mind, but these are just the first few I was thinking of to keep my character on the low end of the power spectrum.

Now for teleportation the limit on distance would be similar to the portals. Its impossible to teleport specific objects unless it is being teleported along with the hero. That said it isn't possible to teleport specific areas of someone's body (mainly to avoid silly things like "lol your heart's gone!) only the entire body. There is a mass and weight limit making it impossible to teleport with a car, but maybe a trashcan or possibly a bicycle. Teleportation in general will be limited to the Hero (or villain) and anything he/she will be in physical contact with.

This is it for now I think. At the moment I do think a hero with average physical ability would be powerful against most low lvl human opponents. Anyone that is fast, stealthy and large could easily get around this.

[VitaVitaAR]

Hmmm. That doesn't seem unfair to me, at least. Aside from endless falling.

[Hillbilly12]

I put that in there because it was a trick you could do in Portal, but it probably would work if the opponent is just mostly confused the entire time. If they react fast they could just stretch out their arms and legs to grab onto the edge of the portal and stop. Probably won't work if they're a child or really short and can't fly.

[VitaVitaAR]

Hmm. That... would probably be okay?

[Hillbilly12]

I can just make it simple and go with teleportation. Also not going to have a character up until I read through the IC.

[VitaVitaAR]

Teleportation is probably the better option.

Name: Henry Bonham
Hero Name: Flash Step
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Appearance:

My Hider

Superhero Appearance:

My Hider

This but without the cape and a "FS" on the chest instead of R.
Personality: It is very difficult for some with intimate knowledge of Henry to believe he could actually be a hero. His own ego and over inflated sense of self shows symptoms of narcissism, but his selfless nature is still present. He wants to be better human beings than his peers who are all wealthy and incredibly selfish. Therefore he acts as nice as possible and try to be as pleasant as possible to be around. He's still the type of person who enjoys showing off his new clothes, but as a hero he will put the lives of the innocent first. This is no easy task considering he has grown up with a family full of villains, but he tries to battle his upbringing every day simply because failure is not something he enjoys.
Equipment: Henry is an extremely wealthy company executive allowing him to purchase proper equipment most superheroes would likely find valuable.

Bo Staff- A retractable Bo Staff made out of materials both resistant to high caliber bullets and extremes in temperature.
Taser Knuckles- A stun weapon you wear like brass knuckles.

Ballistic protection- Henry's costume uses ceramic plates and a ballistic weave to protect from bullets and even knives.

Abilities: Henry could be considered an Esper. His only ability is Teleportation allowing him to disappear and reappear in different locations. However, this ability is extremely limited in its use. It took some time for him to test its limitations, but for now this is what he was able to discover.

There is a limit on distance traveled using teleportation. Henry is only capable of traveling 50 meters regardless of physical state or location.

Henry is only capable of moving objects just under the mass and weight of a luxury sedan. Also he is only capable of teleporting with the object, not the object itself nor can teleport parts of the object's mass from itself. A possible reason for this is possibly how he subconsciously examines the object. Of course, this is mostly just a theory.

Skills: Henry believes himself to be skilled at almost anything relevant. Top grades in school, good at most sports, great cook, aggressive and intelligent businessman etc. yet his skill as a superhero is lacking in comparison to experienced heroes. He's trained in various martial arts and is a quick learner when it comes to field experience. Some minor firearms training simply to give some familiarity with the weapons some his enemies would use. Good situational awareness and a grasp for tactics most heroes and villains have to survive.

Brief Backstory: Born in Atlanta, Georgia to an extremely wealthy family Henry had both a lucky and frustrating life. He was sent to the best schools, learned skills and met people that would eventually bring him into the upper echelons of society. This was done and encouraged heavily by his family who were also some of the best and powerful in their fields. Whether it was politics, business, music or dance they were near the top and expected the same from him. When his abilities began to appear as a teenager they even wanted him to put those to use of course in a way they saw fit. It didn't take long for him to figure out his own path and was slowly learning what his family really was. His mother wanted him to participate in magical rituals to enhance his ability and summon a dark god. Henry's father hinted at using it for corporate espionage and his siblings had other sinister ideas that he mostly assumed were just jokes. The more he learned about this world and his own family the more he wondered if they were some weird cabal of super criminals.

Eventually Henry started working for his father. While he had issues with his business practices and sought to follow a less legally blurred path it was still a good job which challenged him daily. One day during a company after party a group of heavily armed criminals crashed the party and began taking some hostage. When they were beginning to shoot anyone trying to stop them Henry reacted immediately and used his powers to try and get as many people as he could out. By teleporting people and even the shooters to distract and disarm them Henry brought enough time for actual heroes to come and save them. His efforts were recognized as heroic if reckless, but for Henry he never felt better than he did trying to help innocent people. From then on he worked for two years training to become a proper hero.

Henry relocated to the new offices in Japan Bonham set up. Prior to this Henry registered with SUPER and it wasn't a coincidence his father wanted to send to a place where superheroes were needed. Henry surmised this was likely done with extra publicity for the company in mind. However, this was perfect for anyone looking for villains or monsters to defeat.
Hero Rank: D

Henry did extremely well on the written tests but the physical ones still placed him at D level. Any higher would be far too dangerous no matter how fit he was.

Okay, it's a bit late... but you don't explain why he's working in Japan and registered with the SUPER branch there. ^^;

... Also I have no idea where @Gingerboi123 is, he needs to post. I've tried mentions.

@VitaVitaAR

Sorry I'll put that in.

Now done.

[Matsuri]

Heyo, sorry to say that this will probably be my last time dropping by this RP... T'was a fun ride with all the misunderstandings and fun characters, but I don't think I can go on with this anymore.

Let the paint stain remain on Kiko's face in memory of the forever hallucinating Aya.

[VitaVitaAR]

So... I guess I've basically lost my ability to continue this now that so many people have dropped or are unable to post.

I don't have much of a choice but to close it for now.

[Hillbilly12]

Looks like I joined a little late. Oh well hope your next rp goes a little better.

[Animal]

Aw man

[Lmpkio]

This is my last time stopping by too. Without Ginger, I can't continue, hence my disappearance. Hopefully we'll reboot this some other time :) Until then, tis was fun ride. Have a good one mates.
