well after reading both heroes' personalities, i feel not only that D'ren's personality and Dream-scape's personality would be more of a contrast when fighting each other, and harmonious when working together, but also i understand Dream-scape's personality more because i am more like her than i am like Ignis, so it would just be easier for me to write with Dream-scape than Ignis.

And I know we dont HAVE to have contrasting powers, i just thought it would be cool. and like i said, invisibility could be used in conjunction with casting illusions to great effect.

BELOW is my final draft for approval. :)

Regarding "Daren as a teen," that would be his appearance and a general idea of his behavior. I made the character before watching that show, so I'm not stealing anything. It just so happens that his appearance, accent, and attitude are very similar, at least at that age.

Name : Daren McDonnell
Alias : The Infamous (main alias), AKA The Widowmaker, The Warlord, The WorldWeaver, The Irishman (any variation of those), D'ren
Age : early thirties
Gender : Male
Allegiance : Villain
Image :


Written Description ( optional )(can be used instead of Image) : Shoulder-length black hair, facial stubble, facial scar along the side of his face, green eyes, usually wears black leather, including knuckle gloves, trench coat.

Power Set (only one power per character) : Invisibility; in addition to being able to turn invisible himself, he can make an object or person invisible by touch, but once he stops touching them, they will become visible again in under 20 seconds. If he stays invisible for more than a few minutes, he begins to lose his eyesight.

Background story (where was your character born ? How did he become a hero/villain ? How was he caught ?) :

Daren Connor McDonnell was born in North Carolina to Elisa and Liam McDonnell. Though he was only 1/4th Irish, even at a young age Daren often passed himself off as being half, or full Irish, especially if it got him a discount on alcohol. When he was a boy, he visited Ireland with his family, which included two brothers and a sister. His parents were murdered, but he never found out who did it, or gave the order. He only knew that they had been doing research on aliens, and both MI5 and the US government did not approve. His siblings split up when they were teens and he still hasn't seen them to this day. Daren as a teen.

In his early years of life, Daren never understood why people ignored him so much, despite his crazy, sociopathic antics. His sister had a speech impediment and had always called him D'ren. It once annoyed him, but now that his siblings were gone, living in other parts of the world, he took on the name and continued to live in Ireland. He figured out that he was capable of turning invisible, which usually happened on accident. D'ren discovered that when people weren't paying him any attention, despite the fact he was standing right there, he would feel invisible, and so he would slowly turn invisible. Even if someone looked at him and saw him becoming transparent, their psychology would make up something to explain it away, like maybe they imagined it or were seeing things that weren't there. Or even that D'ren had simply walked away. The human mind can be powerfully self-deceptive.

The year was 2014 and D'ren had just turned 21. He went out for his first legal drink with a few unsavory fellows he called buddies. They literally back-stabbed him in a barfight with a biker gang. As D'ren was lying on the ground, paralyzed, he tried to call for help but nobody even looked at him. So he became invisible. The only reason why he noticed was because he watched his pooling blood turn translucent around him.

After the hospital patched him up, he left and immediately got into crime. Under the guise of several aliases, he made millions from bank heists and eventually was recruited by MI5 to help them catch IRA soldiers and officers. He pretended to help, but almost crippled the British intelligence organization before joining the IRA and quickly rising through the ranks as one of their leaders, at the age of 29 in 2022. In four years, D'ren had killed thousands of civilians, earning his reputation as "The Infamous Irishman," which later became just "The Infamous."

During his time in the IRA, D'ren traveled to America often for missions or to look for his siblings. He once saw a young woman creating an illusion from her imagination, and interacting with it as if it were real. Mesmerized, D'ren spied on her and even had IRA operatives remain near her parents' house at all times.

In 2025, he was 32-years-old when he left the IRA to form a superpowered gang of villains that would take over Ireland; his ultimate goal was to rule the world, but he didn't get that far because in 2026, the Collective and The Dozen were formed. He refused to be part of either group. Instead, he and his small gang went rogue, aiming to take down both the Collective and the Dozen. Most of the battles usually ended in failure, or a draw. The Infamous only actually won one battle. During this conflict, he met Dreamscape again, though for her this was the first time.

As they fought, D'ren came to admire her even more. Whenever The Infamous went out to attack someone with his power of invisibility, the Collective sent Dreamscape, usually backed up by another hero with a more aggressive power. On their fourth encounter, D'ren killed the man who was supposed to be protecting her. His super-strength was nothing compared to the ability to become invisible. The Infamous tried to kidnap her, having become infatuated with her, but she was rescued by other heroes.

Two years later, at 35, D'ren became sick with the virus that only affected all super-powered individuals. He was near death when his sister Dinah showed up; she had a type of healing ability, but all she could do was take part of the virus, not eliminate it. So she died from the virus. D'ren discovered that he was immune to the virus so he felt really really bad about inconveniencing his now-dead sister by coming all the way out to heal him pointlessly. Hating the world even more, The Infamous went after everyone: the Collective, the Dozen, the governments, other criminals. But most powered people were being killed off by the virus, and that included his gang; plus, he spread his gang too thin and each cell was taken down by the heroes and armies of the world.

Then the aliens came. He smartly used his power to hide underground, but was captured and collared by the aliens and thrown into prison.

@Infamous Empath Looks good. Add a limitation to his power, maybe he gets heasaches if he goes invisible for too long or stuff like that ?

Also. Every super powered person was infected by the virus, healing abilities didn't work on the virus as I said. So, he is simply like other survivors lucky that he survived.

[@orangejuice] I'll pm you tomorrow as I'm dead tired and my mind doesn't work properly right now. :(

well i could make the virus be dormant or something but "luck" or just randomly being immune is not just boring and unlikely, but also it would be a pretty bad virus to kill 98% of the superheroes and just make all the rest get sick, but fight it off some how through...a strong immune system?

EDITION: Not only did i add a negative to his power, i also gave him an addition negative for the virus. basically every once in a while, it will return, like it was in remission but never left completely. His sister's still dead as shit though.

@Infamous Empath Thing is...I couldn't say anything about the virus it self because it's plot related. How only some super persons survived will be shown in IC (mainly arc two of the story).
So he is either immune or he is dead. That's how I imagined the virus. Something super adaptable/mortal that was supposed to kill every super person. If interested on exactly why they weren't affected, hit me up with a PM and I'll explain. (spoiler alert)

Also. As I said already, healing abilities simply didn't work on the virus. No matter how strong they were or their nature.

The Infamous only actually won one battle. During this conflict, he met Dreamscape again, though for her this was the first time.

As they fought, D'ren came to admire her even more. Whenever The Infamous went out to attack someone with his power of invisibility, the Collective sent Dreamscape, usually backed up by another hero with a more aggressive power.

Name :
Ken Vector

Alias :
The Kineticist

Age :
35

Gender :
Male

Allegiance :
Villain

Image :


Power Set :
Kinetic Redistribution
~The ability to not only halt, but reverse or otherwise redirect the kinetic energy surrounding an object.
Example: You shoot him with a bullet. Provided he can see it and knows it is coming, he can force the bullet to stop mid air, and all forward propulsion be directed to a different angle facing, then let it resume its course, under the new directional flow of kinetic energy.

~Weaknesses include the fact he must be able to see, or otherwise predict what is about to happen. Limited not so much by the size, but a piano rolling down a hill will take a lot more effort and energy to kinetically redirect than a bicycle would.

Background story (where was your character born ? How did he become a hero/villain ? How was he caught ?) :
Ken Vector was born in New York to a scientist mother, and secretarial father. With access to nothing but the best in education, resources, books and toys, Ken grew up a spoiled brat, who could and would get whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.

Believing that he was superior to other people, he would look down his nose on everyone. Having an entitled upbringing had left him with a strong superiority complex. His vast intellect helped to propagate this, as he took to any and all classes really well. He didn't care he had nothing in the way of social skills. People were just tools for him to use to help him get to and achieve whatever he so desired.

Wanting to further prove himself, he went on to become a Professor in Kinetic Energy, if for the title and nothing else, having a natural knack for physics. Soon after this, the Dean of the University tried to have him kicked out due to attitude and negligence of behavior. Since this had been the first time Ken had actually not gotten his way properly, he lashed out at the Dean. Security was called in. When one tried to jump onto him, Ken had just looked at him, and the guard went flying backwards. Another guard tried to punch Ken, but with a stern look, the flying fist suddenly changed direction, but not facing. The wrist proceeded to snap, and break the guards nose at the same time. Not knowing how it had happened, but understanding the concept, Ken used it to beat the Dean within an inch of his life.

It was not long after this, that Ken Vector went out into the world, and became known to the tabloids as 'the Kineticist.' He had no objections to this name, and embraced it. Still believing himself to be the best, he would go out of his way to test himself, his powers, and the so-called-heroes.

When the virus hit, Ken was left largely untouched. This did nothing but further stroke his ego. It was his arrogance and over-confidence that got him captured by the aliens when they struck. believing he could take them on, he got overwhelmed and apprehended, being one of the first super powered individuals to do so.

Ever since, he has been quietly planning and plotting his revenge. None made him look weak and foolish. He would prove he was superior to these plebiscite aliens, and make them pay. But first he had to figure out how to escape his confines...

@Infamous Empath Immunity can be gained when a person's body contracts the virus for the first time.

@GeneralNox Looks good :) Accepted and move him over. I'm eager for everyone to finish so we can start this ^_^

ok changed it so that Dinah's healing is even more tragic, making D'ren an even bigger mess because all she did was contract the virus from him when she tried to heal him :P

Moved my character over, and just wish to say that I like each and every one of you. You are awesome. Ken Vector does not share or reciprocate my views. My character is a huge colossal douche and big headed 'phallus'. He will treat you like garbage and be offensive. But I like you :)

@GeneralNox It's all good as long as you keep your character in IC :)
Also. We (at least me) like you as well. Portal will probably not care at all about him. You could say that she is one that can see the forest no matter how many trees are in the way :) the goal is to save your asses and then humanities. Hopefully that is xD
@Infamous Empath Accepted as he is.

Also. I wanna say that I'm pleased to see that we have a large sortire of powersets and personalities. When I first made this RP, I thought I would see what you always see in super powered RPs. Heroes/villains with personalities that befit their alliegence. Villains that want to kill and heroes that want to save. The usual. Not here. So. I want to say this: Thank you !

Edit : As soon as we get to the part where we actually create the resistance and fight the aliens. I'll introduce and explain the RP feature and a few others that include but are not limited to : Alien Strength, Resistance Strength, Conquered Teritorry Percent.

What I can say without spoiling the plot is that when the last parameter goes over 90% we will be able to pass(if you are still inclined to continue) to the next arc of the story and yes. I did plan 3 arcs to the story up to this point. More to come if you find this RP interesting.
Arc two will also give our characters a new flavour, which I have to say, you will probably like.

This is pretty much it except I am having a hard time coming up with an alias.
Let me know if you see any problems. I am prepared for critique.

Name: Annabelle Costello

Alias:

Age: 26

Gender: Female

Allegiance: Hero



Written Description: Shoulder length dark brown hair, deep green eyes, stands at about 5 feet 2 inches with a slim, yet slightly muscular frame despite her small appearance.

Power Set: Body Temperature Manipulation- Anna is capable of cooling her own body to about 26 degrees Fahrenheit (-3 Celsius) which in turn slows her heartbeat and blood flow to the point were she could be mistaken for dead. She can also heating her body to 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 Celsius) she can burn flesh and light things on fire at this temperature. This means that most extreme temperatures do not bother her, this also makes her mostly resistant to being burned or frozen. However her body will still go into shock if her temperature is changed to drastically very quickly. Even more so if her body temp is not within the normal human range. Meaning if her temp was below average and she was suddenly exposed to immense heat her body would go into shock.

Background Story: Born and in Kodiak Alaska to a pair of researchers Annabelle spent much of her life in the wilderness and traveling all over Alaska. She learned early on to fight for the things she believed in. Her parents taught her to defend herself when she was about 10 though they preferred to teach her Aikido a form of martial art that focused more on simply defending and disengaging than anything else Her parents knew the basics of it and passed that knowledge onto Anna.

Her parents were mugged when she was 12 and so Anna requested that she be able to learn to defend herself at a more professional level. Her parents agreed and they took up a more permanent position in Fairbanks and Anna found someone to teach her Aikido. When Annabelle was 16 she had achieved blackbelt in the fighting style.

Annabelle first discovered her powers when she was iceskating on a pond with some friends. She managed to find a weak spot in the ice and fell through. Upon being retrieved from the water she began to simply think about how it would feel to be warm again and she body became hotter. Though she had no clue how to stop the rise in temperature and ended up hotter than she intended, causing her soaked clothes to steam. It took a while for her to regulate her temperature again and spent the next year concentration on keeping her ability in check. It was during this time that she decided she would become a hero, fighting for the people who couldn’t protect themselves.

Years later, when the virus hit Annabelle had become an accomplished hero around the world, though she never fought alone. Somehow, after going into isolation, Annabelle managed to fight off the virus and became one of the few that survived. Then the aliens invaded. She was one of the heroes on the front lines fighting off the invaders, it was then that she was captured.

Other: Skilled in hand to hand though she prefers to use a staff to fight with to extend her reach

Nemesis: Pending
