@Fallenreaper Uh Humm. Eva is 17 you know, still in Ben's age group.

@Fallenreaper Not yet, still futzing with his profile to think about making a more science-y breed page, that'll come when I am done with the nitpicking of his profile lol. As for you pointing out the flaws, I don't mind, saves me time really. I'll probably get to the species page tomorrow when I am done gnawing on his page lol.

No hurries. I'm still working on Ben's race while still doing his CS, namely so it can be approved and I can set him up in New York. He's going to be bitten and going through 'growing' pains which he has no idea how to deal with. Young werewolves are such a nuance some times. With the random shifting, moodiness, etc. XD Not to mention silver creates a rash and uncomfortable as hell. Though still need to work with VAT over the details of him helping me get Ben changed and not killed during that. >,< I'll do that after Ben's approved.

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

Nuance or nuisance?

So after a boring day of not having much to do, I've decided to screw @VATROU's advice and not wait a week before doing anything!

Presenting what i have so far;

Grabriela Rivero [+]

Character you have created:
Gabriela "Gabi" Rivero

Alias:
Chaac, Crazy Axe Lady

Speech Color:
Plum

Character Alignment:
Hero

Identity:
Secret

Character Personality:
Fundamentally, Gabi constantly strives to do good, despite the cost. Despite she, she comes across as tough and aggressive, although unbeknownst to most, this is merely her attempting to disguise the pain of losing her family. This pain also comes in the form of her constantly questioning and arguing with Chaac, whom she knows is watching over her, all because she blames him for the death of her father during Tropical Storm Agatha.

Uniform/costume:

Origin Info/Details:

Many years ago, the Pantheon of Mayan Gods was alive with the same fire and power as that of the Olympians.

One such member was Chaac; the God of Rain and Thunder. During the earliest days of mankind, people starved beneath the beating heat of the sun. That was until Chaac discovered a golden boulder deep within the mountains, and after breaking it in two with his mighty axe, he found maize, the crop that would change the Mayan people forever. Chaac was worshipped for bringing Maize to the world, however this soon went to his head. He began an affair with the wife of the Sun God, Kinich Ahau, his brother. After the affair’s discovery, in act of regret, Chaac struck the sky with his axe, releasing his tears of regret in the form of rain. Since then, Chaac turned his attention solely on helping mankind.

Even after the fall of the Mayan Civilization, the Mayan Gods lived on. In an attempt to keep their efforts alive, every 100 years, one God would select a Champion on Earth to represent them and their passion. Now, it was time for the God of Rain, to select a champion.

And that champion was Gabriela Rivero.

Gabi was born and raised in Guatemala City to a loving mother and father. Her family were fairly well off, with her father working as a professor at the Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala, an expert on Mayan Mythology. Because of this, Gabi often found herself falling asleep to the stories of the Mayan Gods. This was soon to change however when due to lack of funding, her father was fired from his job. With no income, the family found themselves in a dire situation, being push from their cushy life and into one of poverty. On top of this her mother soon grew ill. Without any money, they could only watch as her condition worsened, until after a few heartbreaking months, the inevitable happened.

Just as Gabi was beginning to find her place in the world after the loss of her mother, Tropical Storm Agatha struck the city. During the storm, the sewage system collapsed, creating a large sinkhole that completely swallowed Gabi’s entire street. Fortunately beforehand Gabi had made it out. However the same couldn’t be said for her father. After evacuating, Gabi discovered that they had forgotten to bring the last remaining photograph that they owned of her mother. Not wishing to see his daughter as distressed as she was, her father went back in order to retrieve it. A mere minute more and he would have made it back.

Heartbroken, Gabriela found herself alone and broken.

After a while of working practically every hour of the day and only barely managing to scrape by, Gabi joined an illegal logging expedition, hoping to make some decent money for once. All the while she kept her head down, avoiding the armed guards who had been hired to keep away the authorities. It had only been a month when while deep in the jungles, the guards were finally put to good use. During the gun fight, Gabi attempted to make some sort of escape, sprinting into the woods.

She soon came across a humungous valley cutting deep into the forest. The pure sight of it was breath-taking, compelling Gabi, lumber axe still in hand, to explore it further. As she made her way to the bottom, she soon laid eyes upon something she recognised from her late father’s bedtime stories; a Mayan Temple. A voice in her head told her to enter, and so she did. Inside was something that surprised her even further; a golden boulder. As soon as she saw it, she knew exactly what to do. Taking her lumber axe, she raised it above her head and with a powerful swing broke the rock in two.

At once the temple door’s slam shut, thunder echoing loudly. The skies darkened, filled with clouds. And then it began to rain. The water poured in through the temple’s skylight, flooding the room unnaturally fast. Trapped, Gabi began to panic. She was going to drown. As she tried her best to escape, that same voice from before spoke to her. She let the water engulph her as she now knew. She was to be Chaac’s champion. The waters empowered her, making her stronger. Wiser. Then as quickly as the room had filled, it emptied, the water draining away into nothingness and the door sliding open as if nothing had happened. But something had happened.

Gabi, now blessed by Chaac, instantly sought to put her newfound abilities to good use. With her axe in hand, she returned to Guatemala City, intent on bringing justice to the criminals that plagued her home. And as expected of the Mayan Champions, she took on the name of her creator, becoming Chaac.

After stopping a group of crooks who had been trying to escape in a getaway car, Chaac soon found herself surrounded by a number of black federal looking SUVs. Such a sight was all too rare in Guatemala City. It was then that she found himself introduced to a British man named Stephen Colbert. It was here that she learnt that one of her newfound abilities was being able to speak and understand any language she heard. Colbert revealed that he had become extremely interested in Chaac ever since he had seen her introduction to the world on the news. He informed her that his company, Colbert International, was aiming to partner with younger and newer heroes in an effort to assist them with their heroics financially and politically. He invited Chaac to join, although before the young hero could, she realized that the men that had surrounded her were all armed. As she began to decline, she found them all aimed at her. Before they could open fire or capture her however, a magical door seemed to appear infront of her; revealing a number fellow teenage superheroes. After fending off Colbert’s men, Gabi left with them through the door, strangely finding herself inside an empty diner.

Here the three teenagers introduced themselves; their leader was Adam Pullen, a young man whose energy manipulating abilities seemed to be controlled by his confidence. As such he referred to himself as Kid Awesome. Next came Mason Shaw, the team’s technopath and resident IT guy. He was Gizmo. Finally was Maisie Andrews, apparently one of the many granddaughters of the legendary Baba Yaga. The "diner" belonged to her, with her having accidentally sent the building to a pocket dimension of her creation, with the door being able to open anywhere on Earth.

The group revealed that instead of partnering up with young superheroes, Colbert had been in fact capturing and experimenting on them. The team had been formed after he had attempted to capture them. Gabi agreed to join their fight against Colbert and rescue the rest of the teenagers that he had captured.

Hero Type:
Mystic / Supernatural

Power Level:
City Level - Potentially World Level

Powers:
Gabi has been blessed by the God of Rain himself, giving her a number of abilities. These include;

Weather Manipulation:

Due to Chaac being the God of Rain, Gabi is able to manipulate the weather, calling upon rain or even thunderstorms at will.

Axe of Chaac:

Possibly one of Gabi's most useful attributes is her axe. While it had originated as a simple lumber axe, after being blessed by Chaac, the Axe now resembles that of Chaac's very own weapon. Firstly, it is one of the most powerful weapons ever made, with the ability to cut through any earthly material. The weapon can also be used to help Gabi to direct her weather manipulation, much like a wand for example. However if someone else was to use the axe, it would function just like any other axe. This is because the axe's properties aren't confined to that specific axe, instead to Gabi herself. Upon picking up another random axe, that weapon would then become the Axe of Chaac, with the old one returning to just a regular blade.

Multilingual:

Gabi is able to instantly communicate in any earthly dialect.

Strength Level: 40 tons
Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 20 mph

Weaknesses:

Supporting Characters:

Maisie Andrews AKA Witchling [+]

Maisie was shocked to discover her family secret that she was actually the Granddaughter of Baba Yaga, a mystical being of Slavic Folklore. Because of this, Maisie discovered that she was in fact able to tap into the Arcane Stream. While experimenting with her new found magical abilities, she created a pocket dimension, where she accidently sent the diner that she had been working in. Luckily no one else had been inside at the time. Unfortunately she found that she was unable to send it back, however upon further experimentation, she discovered that she could manipulate the diner's entrance so that it could open up anywhere in the world.

Adam Pullen AKA Kid Awesome [+]

Originating from Canada and the self proclaimed leader of the group, Adam has the ability of flight, super strength, as well as energy blasts. His abilities rely on his confidence however, meaning that the more he believes in himself and what he is doing, the stronger he is, and the less susceptible to damage he becomes. This of course means that he can be an arrogant jerk.

Mason Shaw AKA Gizmo [+]

The team's resident tech guy, Mason is a technopath. Despite his abilities however, he's more comfortable behind a computer screen rather than out in the action. Constantly struggling to find a way of setting up WIFI in the mysterious library.

Stephen Colbert AKA The Big Bad Guy [+]

Head of Colbert International, Stephen is a mysterious business man who seeks to capture and experiment on teenage superheroes, the reason for which remains unknown to the group. Colbert has offices all around the world, most noticeably in Pacific Point, Richmond and Grant City

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


Sample Post:

So yeah, I went with the Mayan God idea. Also with my suporting characters, I got rid of the Libary and the Merlin stuff, replacing that stuff with pocket dimensions and Baba Yaga as I have ideas for a fun arc involving her down the line. So yeah, now i have a pocket dimension containing a 50s diner.

Still need to make a few tweaks (really need a new faceclaim as she's british, not Guatelanan) and write up a sample post.

While i loved Casey/Puck and was looking forward to a possible future collab with @fdeviant, I feel that Gabi/Chaac is probably the better choice for me right now as honestly i was having issues with finding Casey's voice. May introduce him sometime in the future if i decide on taking on a secondary character (given that I can get this CS accepted when it's done anyway! :P )

So yeah, tell me what you guys think :) _{And if that means telling me it's shit then so be it}

<Snipped quote by Natty>

If the Mayan Gods are like the Egyptian and Greek/Roman gods, they are actually aliens. Oh dear, we might have an alien invasion at this point! :p I'm still reading btw, but it looks like a nice pc so far.

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

They're like the Asgardians from the MCU.

Also, fixed that for you. ;)

Seems like everyone's a space alien these days...

<Snipped quote by Dedonus>

I hate my iPhone because every time I put Roman, oddly, it made it ramen. Not sure why... It doesn't like Roman.

Seems like everyone's a space alien these days...

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

No, you had "Latin Gods". I don't think I have ever head of the Roman Pantheon ever referred by that name. ;)
