Things weren't always like this. The world used to be a safer, and happier place. Humans, and mutants, and superhumans all lived together in peace. The Avengers were always thought to be unstoppable, and capable of anything, until that day fifty years ago. All of the villains and organizations in the world struck havoc, killing heroes with ambushes, and starting a revolution of fear, and chaos. It was up to the Avengers to stop them, but they ultimately failed, with many of them dead. A new age began, an age of extinction. Mutants, superhumans, any sympathizers for us were arrested, killed, or executed to send a message. Hatred, and fear struck the hearts of the world. Some people were fortunate enough to go into hiding, blending in with the people that now hated them. For fifty years, the world has been divided by villains. The people have lost hope for a happy future... Until recently. A founding member of the Avengers has survived, and is secretly recruiting young, and aspiring heroes to train, and fight back. They work secretly, and sometimes loudly, to inspire hope to the world, and the people born with exceptional gifts and talents who want to see a brighter world. These new heroes are descendants of mighty legends, or have their own origins, it doesn't matter to them, because they all want the same thing: to avenge the earth, and to make it right again. Lead by the grandson of a legend, a new group of heroes fight to take back what belongs to everyone, and the people, but it is no easy task. They will have to know when to fight, when to hide, and when to strike. These New Avengers have to overcome elite superhero-killers, machines, and the people they are trying desperately to save... Do you take up the fight and join the New Avengers? --------------- RULES: 1) You can create any hero, from any background, for any age! Although I prefer the heroes to be young and trying to master their powers, they don't have to be! 2) DON'T BE OVERPOWERED!! You can't be invincible, or a god creature! Make them fair and fun to play, it'll be a better RP that way! 3) You can be descendants of any hero you want, but if those heroes are taken, talk to the person and ask if you guys can be related! 4)You can make your own heroes with your own original powers/backstory too! 5) No one liners please! I am a believer of quality over quantity, but only posting "He walked into the room" kinda slows everything down. 6) This will most likely be a darker, more mature tone than most superhero RP's, but there'll be action, romance, humor, etc! 7) If you have any questions, send me a PM or mention me in a comment :D CHARACTER SHEET: Name: Age: Appearance: Ancestors: optional Powers/Abilities: Bio: Optional Family/Relationships: brothers, sisters, parents, boy/girlfriend, etc. Weapons: optional Personality: Other: -------------------------- Name: James Victor Rogers Age: 21 Appearance:[hider=James][img]http://66.media.tumblr.com/ddf595b45308702fca3d80ec67787d43/tumblr_nf12v9JGzs1r62r7xo1_1280.jpg[/img][/hider] Ancestors: Steve Rogers (Captain America) [Grandfather], James Howlett (Wolverine) [Grandfather] Powers/Abilities: [hider=Powers] [b]Super Soldier Serum[/b] -Because James' Grandfather is Captain America, traces of the Super Soldier Serum is in his blood. He is in peak physical and mental condition, has a photographic memory, and is able to learn new languages quickly. [b]Tactician[/b] -Both of James' parents were important figures to the resistance against the Villain Corp. James is a natural leader and tactician, being able to survey any situation and finding the strengths and weaknesses in him, his team, and the environment. [b] Accelerated healing Factor[/b] --Wolverine's healing factor skipped a generation and went into James. James regenerates damaged or destroyed tissues of his body far beyond the capabilities of an ordinary human. In addition to accelerated healing of physical traumas, his healing factor makes him extraordinarily resistant to diseases, drugs, and toxins. The speed at which he recovers is dependent on the type of injury. [b]Heightened instincts, and senses[/b] -Wolverine also passed down his sense of instincts, being able to sense something wrong, picking up on scents, and if angered, he will be nearly unstoppable. His rage at this point though can leave him vulnerable in many cases. [/hider] Bio: [hider=James' Story] I never met my grandparents. Grandpa Steve died during the Great Fight, and Grandpa Logan hasn't been seen in decades, being tested on by Doctor Doom. Before the Avengers' downfall, my parents were born, and fell in love while fighting against Red Skull's territory in Europe. It was no use, but they managed to retreat, and go into hiding for a few years. That's when I was born. Even at a young age, people were expecting great things of me. I starting showing my abilities almost immediately, and my training began. I did my part in fighting against the evil villains who tortured and killed so many people. As I got older, the more I knew about the reality of the world. I couldn't save everyone. I had to choose my battles, and I not everyone was out to make the world a better place. When I was 16 our neighborhood was attacked by Cape Killers. They searched and scanned everyone, and any signs of mutant-friendly activity was destroyed immediately. Word got around that the daughter of Steve Rogers and son of Wolverine had a mutant son,and they attacked. While protecting me, my mom was killed, and my dad was severely injured. A few family friends helped us, and together, we disappeared. For years I did my best to work, and lay low to take care of my dad. It's hard to see so much discrimination, and hate in one place and do nothing. I do what I can to help and protect people without blowing my cover. After a year of that, my dad and I's house had an unexpected intruder. A much older Tony Stark came to our house, and offered me a new job, with benefits. Protection for my family, the ability to learn more about my heritage, to help people... All I had to do was to train, and to use my abilities to fight back against the evil that has taken control of the world. He told me it wouldn't be an easy job. That I would be the first of many, and to help train, and bring hope to kids like me, like how Grandpa Steve was... And with offers like that, how could I refuse?[/hider] Family/Relationships: PM ME IF YOU WANNA HAVE ANY RELATION! Steve Rogers [grandpa/deceased], James Howlett [Grandpa/missing], Peggy Rogers [Mother/deceased], Eric Howlett [Father] Weapons: Tony Stark created a watch on my right arm to form into an energy shield, dawning Captain America's red white and blue colors. The photons emit out of the watch, giving it the same durability of Steve Roger's Vibranium-steel alloy. Personality:James is very much like his grandfather Steve. He has a deep sense of responsibility, and does his best to help others. He hates people who think they're better than everyone, and due to his other grandfather, he has a bit of a temper if provoked. He has a lot of moral conflicts on whether or not to help people, and when. He will always stand up for anyone in need, and if you know the right buttons to push, he can get very angry very fast. Other: Has a habit of saying "Bub" a lot when angered... "Thanks Grandpa Logan"
