[@canaryrose] [@Hitman] Felicitations, malefactors. I'm here with a sheet for a secondary character incase Shadow Scythe has to take a back seat for one reason or another. There's kind of...a lot? Here? She's just a secondary and I got a little carried away with the Iron Man fantasy perhaps but, she's a self-made rich bitch with something to prove, so. I thought it might be fun. Let me know what you think [hider=Project Gateway] [hr][hr][img]https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/vjrVrHYX0G0_pVZBLBTrVyiintEOwP8Ty9eCW7W-Sw4/https/i.pinimg.com/564x/25/b3/7d/25b37d932bcca7a7461d2fbbd78f177c.jpg[/img] [img]https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/494317685505523714/880999986358280302/bubble.png?width=239&height=562[/img] [center][color=f49ac2][h1][b]G A T E W A Y[/b][/h1][/color] [b][color=f49ac2]"At your service! ...For a price. ...A price already covered by your tax dollars so you’ve nothing to worry about!"[/color][/b][/center][hr][hr] [color=f49ac2][B][ NAME ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT]Summer O’Shea [/INDENT][/color] [color=f49ac2][B][ HERO IDENTITY ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT]Project Gateway[/INDENT][/color] [color=f49ac2][B][ NICKNAME/ALIAS ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT] Gateway [/INDENT][/color] [color=f49ac2][B][ AGE ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT] Twenty-one [/INDENT][/color] [color=f49ac2][B][ GENDER ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT]Female, she/her[/INDENT][/color] [color=f49ac2][B][ AFFILIATION ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT]H.E.R.O [/INDENT][/color] [color=f49ac2][B][ APPEARANCE ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT]Dazzling, naturally pink hair is Summer’s most identifiable trait. Usually she wears brightly colored, form fitting clothes and her favorite blue and white jacket. She stands at 5 feet, 6 inches and has a toned physique. Also distinct from most people in Castleburg is her Northern Irish accent. The powered suit she wears is also very form fitting. The helmet is completely smooth, but Summer can see perfectly with sensors and imperceptible cameras. The faceplate also retracts, if she needs some fresh air or to make eye contact with someone. On the right side of the base of her skull there is a black square, something like a cybernetic implant that she uses to alter her brain functions. When it is equipped with utilities and weapons, those can add onto the suits bulk and change how it looks.[/INDENT][/color] [color=f49ac2][B][ PERSONALITY TRAITS ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT] Summer is a boisterous, swaggering young woman who isn’t afraid to make a fool out of herself. Always acting like a clown for a joke or a laugh and constantly propping herself up. Some might view it as arrogance, but it’s simply the way she enjoys behaving. The center of attention is where Summer likes to be. Greed is one of her primary motivations for being a hero, and Summer isn’t afraid to show it. Between her merchandising and her hero alias being a usable hashtag on social media, Summer is always trying to cook up ways to get more bang for her buck. Spreading the love is not an issue, and if she thinks more people can make more money, she’ll jump at the opportunity. Cooperation is just another way of getting rid of the competition, really! There’s plenty to go around, if only folks are willing to put the work in. While she certainly might be off-putting or unlikable to those with more traditional views of heroism, there’s little malicious about her behavior. Beneath all the bluster is a bravehearted person who really does just want to help. Help everyone. Including herself! And her friends! Is there really anything wrong with that? Summer also wants people to recognize and appreciate her and her friends' intelligence. As well as prove that just because she doesn’t have powers, that doesn’t mean she can’t be the best hero around. [/INDENT][/color] [color=f49ac2][B][ BIO ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT] Summer calls the idyllic countryside outside of Belfast, Ireland her home, growing up in a picturesque small town that she would now refer to as ‘boring as hell’. Beautiful town though it may be, her father and mother were quite poor, and Summer got a job early to help out. With no siblings and her parents busy, Summer ended up being quite lonely. The X-200 had given her the worst superpower ever- the ability to have pink hair all the time and she can’t turn it off. Bafflingly, this made the other kids distrust and dislike her, claiming that she was bound to have other secret powers as well. Or maybe they just wanted an excuse to pick on someone who was different. Being a ‘nerd’ didn’t exactly help, either. Ireland wasn’t all bad; the adults there treated her kindly and her parents loved her dearly. And when she left her hometown and went to neighboring towns and cities, she found herself making temporary friends with strangers. Perhaps the only problem was Keelin, a very rude popular girl who seemed to position herself as Summer’s arch nemesis… or maybe that was just a reductive way of looking at things. People thinking she had secret powers made Summer both loathe the idea of superpowers, and become infatuated with the idea. This conflict drove her to want to become a superhero, powers or not. Not just a cop, or a protector, or work with heroes- an honest to God superhero with a name and a gimmick and a fanbase. That would show them. And another thing- she’d never be poor again. These ambitions stuck. Being bullied didn’t matter. No, it didn’t bother young Summer at all, for she found refuge in her studies and the internet. Over the next several years she developed a tight knit group of like minded outcasts and oddballs like herself. In search of power and glory they formed Project Gateway, the world’s first non-powered superhero. Each of them had a different skill to bring to the table, and together they began to put their plans into action. It took a lot of hard work, but eventually the five of them got a lucky break. They got a corporate sponsor in the form of GatewayX, a private space program. Thus, they renamed Project Mecha-Bitch 3000 to Project Gateway. Summer served as the only non-powered superhero of CELT’s Northern Irish branch. Eventually she was zooming all over the Great Britain area. The support of the Irish government wasn’t far behind. A strange problem occured. There wasn’t enough action. Summer wanted Project Gateway to go global. Perhaps rub her success in the face of heroes all around the world. Thus, #Project Gateway was cleared to travel to the super[s]villain[/s] hero capital of the world, Castleburg. She’ll be arriving shortly. [/INDENT][/color] [color=f49ac2][b]| MISCELLANEOUS |[/b][/color] Members of Team Mecha-Bitch [hider=Electrical Engineer]Balavan Lohar “Hello? HELLO? Is this thing on? Let’s get this party started already!” The original candidate for the pilot of the suit, this Indian born lad is a fiercely competitive electrical engineering genius. Unfortunately, a car accident left him bed-ridden for a long time before the project went live. While he’s better now, no one could possibly separate Summer from the Suit, now. He designed the incredibly compact power systems for the suit and the heads up display. [/hider] [hider=Mechanical Engineer] Dimitri Alexeyev “This will work. You should all be ashamed, but I will make this work.” Isolated, cold, and alone, Dimitri wouldn’t have it any other way. From his palace made of ice, foundations constructed of the skulls of his enemies, (allegedly) Dimitri is the mastermind behind implementing and ensuring the consistency of the weapons implemented into the Gateway suit. He operates from somewhere in the Baltics. [/hider] [hider=Chemical Engineer] Awa Yoneyama “Pink is cute! Like your hair! Everyone will like us, yes!” The heart of the team and it’s second youngest member, Awa is the mind behind the Gateway suit’s most iconic weapon, the Bubblegum formula. She also designed the aesthetic of the suit and while she is sad that Bubble Gum Glue Girl is not the name of the superhero, Gateway is better than Mecha-Bitch 3000. She is also the most skilled in the medicinal arts of the team. [/hider] [hider=Technical Support] AMI “SEARCHING FOR FILE: ‘FUCKS TO GIVE’. FILE NOT FOUND.’ A rogue chunk of loose traffic managing AI code developed in South Africa. AMI stands for Advanced Machine Intelligence. She is the youngest member of the team at only ten years old, but she certainly has a vast array of knowledge on many topics. She is best at the remote operation parts of their missions, controlling cameras and drones. [/hider] [hider=Abilities] [color=f49ac2][B][ RANKING ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT] E Rank when out of suit. Estimated B- rank when in suit. [/INDENT][/color] [color=f49ac2][B][ POWERS ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT] The Mecha-Bitch 3000, or rather, the Gateway Armor, is a form-fitting, highly durable and mobile suit that has many configurations and modifications available to it. Being very versatile, Summer can serve almost any role in a mission, but she is often out-done by powered specialists. Her greatest strength is being prepared and bringing the right tool[/INDENT][/color] [color=white][INDENT][/INDENT][/color] [color=f49ac2][B][ PHYSICAL STRENGTH ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■■□□□ The suit, by default, has enhanced strength to allow Summer to bust through walls, pick up cars, and knock people around. Useful for saving people and crowd control. 7/10 [color=f49ac2][B][ AGILITY ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■□□□□ Summer is no slouch when it comes to being athletic, and the enhanced strength of the suit only increased this attribute. She can jump high, be mobile, and do anything she can do outside of the suit, only more than twice as well. [color=f49ac2][B][ INTELLIGENCE ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■■□□□ Summer is the maintenance technician of the group. She has an excellent memory and knows how to put things back together again. She knows the suit inside and out, and electronics and mechanics in general are her domain of expertise. This alone is very useful, but she also has a panel of experts at her disposal at all times, and they are never afraid to chip in. 7/10 [color=f49ac2][B][ DESTRUCTIVENESS ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■■■□□ The Gateway Suit is capable of a great amount of destruction, especially with it’s modifications. 8/10 [color=f49ac2][B][ LETHALITY ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■■■□□ One of the reasons Summer has come to be the permanent pilot is her temperament. Unlike the others, she is willing to do what it takes while having an even mood, being the most calm and collected under pressure. The Gateway Suit has a variety of lethal weapons for putting down dangerous targets quickly in order to minimize loss of life. 8/10 [color=f49ac2][B][ ENDURANCE ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■■■□□ Given how Summer is just a squishy human, it was very important the suit be capable of taking as much damage as possible in order to give her a chance to escape or turn the fight around. Being bulletproof was a complete necessity, and she definitely is. Shock and impact damage was next. The only unavoidable weakness was that to piercing damage by heavy objects with a consistent pushing force, in other words, close ranged stabbing by someone with a melee weapon and super strength. But building the fabric and metals of the suit to combat that would be too much and would lower the effectiveness of everything, putting Summer into more danger. The suit also has an in-built medical system to stabilize Summer if she gets hurt. 8/10 [color=f49ac2][B][ EFFICACY ][/B][/color] ■■■■■□□□□□ The Gateway suit can be on for a long amount of time, and since Summer herself is mostly spared the exhaustion of her physical actions, she can operate under duress for a great amount of time. However the Gateway suit does need recharging, on average, two or three times a week. [color=f49ac2][B][ SKILLS ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT] Besides her knowledge related to her field, Summer is a decently trained hand to hand fighter. She’s light on her feet, and is a really good dancer. [/INDENT][/color] [color=f49ac2][B][ EQUIPMENT ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT][hider=Configurations] [hider=Bubble Buddy]Bubble Buddy: A go-to non-lethal loadout, equipped with Yoneyama’s bubble weapons. Bubble Launcher: The suit’s hands are modified to fire projectiles out of the palms and index fingers. Fire high speed, high impact gum rounds that explode on impact. One or two is enough to knock an opponent over and then stick them to the ground. Stronger targets require more bubbles, but getting hit by them is a huge annoyance, even when blocked. Bubble Bomb: A small pink pebble that, when squeezed, expands into a grenade sized sphere. When thrown, there are a few seconds of wait time and then it detonates, spreading adhesive over a large area and knocking targets away. Silly String: Fire out sticky pink string for various purposes and in various forms. Limited Hovering: Bubble Buddy can float in the air and move at slow speeds. Sticky Hands: The Gateway Suit has an adhesive on her hands and feet that can be activated to allow her to navigate walls and ceilings at higher speeds. Adhesive Healing: An altered bubble formula can be applied with a touch to safely stop the bleeding of wounds. Solvent Mist: A special formula that can disintegrate the sticky adhesive. The bubblegum dissolves within 24 hours unless modified, but this can always be useful. Kept in a can. Stungun: A high quality stun gun to debilitate close range targets. Taser: A taser with longer range prongs and penetration. Strengths: Non lethal damage, crowd and damage control, urban movement, defense. Weaknesses: Elemental attacks, flying enemies, artificial enemies. [/hider] [hider=The Think Tank] Exoskeleton: An armored exoskeleton is mounted onto the suit, increasing Gateway’s height, strength, and durability manifold. Kinetic Enhancers: While the exo-skeleton already boosts her strength, two hand holds around her arms give her access to a pair of piston-esque implements. The pistons have good freedom of movement and are capable of outputting a huge amount of kinetic force, rivalling those with super strength. Portable Energy Shield: Arm mounted hard-light energy shield she can use to defend herself and allies from bullets and other hard hitting attacks. Shoulder Mounted Rocket Launchers: A pair of four barreled rocket launchers. They auto reload and can fire munitions of various types. Strengths: Killing people, destruction, offense, tanking. Weaknesses: Mobility, elemental attacks, kinetics. [/hider] [/hider][/INDENT][/color] [hider=Bomber Man] Enhanced Flight Systems: Mounted on ankles, palms, and back, a miniature grafted exoskeleton that drastically increases her speed and mobility in the air. Energy engines leave pink trails where she flies. Beam Projectors: High powered beams made from leftover kinetic energies of the flight suit. Capable of being fired from clenched fists. Grenade Launcher: Semi-automatic shoulder mounted grenade launcher capable of firing a variety of projectiles at a decent rate of fire. Usually loaded with bubble grenades, but more lethal munitions are available. Strengths: Evasiveness, mobility, fighting against kinetics and casters. Weaknesses: Durability, close quarters, high durability targets. [/hider] [hider=Deliverables] With every loadout and configuration, Summer can call in reinforcements with drones deployed from around the city, or the HERO blimp. Alternatively, she could equip herself at the start of the mission and only call in other deliverables later. These weapons and tools can be equipped in any loadout, and it’s rare that she goes without one or several of the items on the list, depending on how heavy and cumbersome they are. Super Special Pistol: A large, ‘U’ shaped pistol with multiple functions. Adhesive Net: Fire out a large, ropey net made out of adhesive bubblegum. Knockout Pellets: Fire slower moving projectiles that shatter on contact, releasing potent knock out gas on a small area. Bubble Blast: Short range shotgun blast of adhesive projectiles. Bubble Bolt: Long range, high speed spear-like adhesive shot. Requires charge up. Heavy Plasma Gun: A machine gun that fires a volley of high speed, red plasma bolts in something similar to a laser gun. Minigun: A minigun. Grenade Launcher: A two handed grenade launcher, equipped with multiple types of munitions. The Big One: A battering ram tool in the form of a long black cylinder, held in both hands via handles along the top. Can turn people, walls, and steel into pulp when ‘fired’. A short range mega-punch. Don’t miss, it has a hefty recharge time. Shield Projector: Two shield projectors that create a ten by ten by ten diameter translucent pink hard-light shield. Default settings are that people can go in and out, but projectiles can’t. Can be tweaked if fiddled with before or after deployment. Shield Wall: Fifteen by ten foot, slightly curved see-through shield wall of hard-light. Shield Drone: A drone equipped with a hard-light projector shield. Bubble Drone: A drone equipped with a short range bubble blaster. Gas Drone: A drone equipped with a short range gas projector. Knockout, smoke, or tear gas. Plasma Cutter Sawblade: A two handed melee weapon and utility item for cutting through the most durable surfaces. Or enemies. Isolene Injector: For shutting down defeated enemies with dangerous powers that can’t otherwise be restrained. [/hider] [/hider] [/hider]
