I think I'm done with my first sheet! I'm not 100% sure on the story arcs bit, but I think I did it alright? Let me know if I need to make any adjustments or anything.20 years old || Krakoan American || Former X-Force Member || X-23HistorySometime ago, an organization known simply as ‘The Facility’ was tasked with creating a clone from DNA stolen from the mutant Wolverine. There were twenty two failed attempts, before the geneticist Sarah Kinney was finally able to find some success with a female subject: X-23. Kept in captivity the child was raised not as a human being, but as a weapon. From ages seven to eleven, X-23 completed many missions for the Facility’s financial gain. Despite Sarah Kinney’s best efforts to keep her somewhat humane, the years of abuse caused X-23 to become emotionally stunted, something she still struggles with today.
The Facility developed something called ‘The Trigger Scent’ that sends X-23 into a violent, bloodthirsty rage. They tested it by forcing X-23 to kill her best friend and sensei.
Sarah Kinney let X-23 out once, not to let her enjoy freedom, but on a personal vendetta where she rescued her abducted cousin, Megan. Later, X-23 was used as a pawn in a battle of corporate greed between Sarah Kinney and Zander Rice, the chief scientists of the Facility. X-23 killed Rice, but in the end, the trigger scent was used to force X-23 to kill Sarah.
As the scent wore off, and X-23 held onto her dying mother, Sarah finally gave her a name: Laura.
Laura tracked down her cousin and her mother’s sister, moving in with them. Laura and her cousin bonded over their time together, and Laura confided in her about being an assassin and being forced to kill her own mother. Her aunt’s boyfriend was revealed to be a Facility agent sent to force her to kill her cousin and aunt using the trigger scent, but Laura was able to outsmart him and kill him instead. Her old handler and some remaining Facility Agents attacked them at their home.
Laura was able to fight them off on her own and then instructed her aunt and cousin to assume new identities, identities originally meant to be used by Laura and Sarah to escape the Facility. After this, Laura made a decision: She would find the man who made her creation possible, and kill him and then herself, bringing an end to their violent legacy.
Laura was able to track Wolverine down to Xavier’s mansion. When Logan left the grounds, Laura confronted him. Coming face to face with her biological father for the first time was a strangely emotional moment for Laura, but she engaged him in battle. She defeated him with her superior tactics and maneuverability, then explained her plans. Logan put it simply:“Ya can kill me, but I ain’t lettin’ ya kill yerself.”
Laura was thrown off by this, having someone seemingly genuinely care for her was… strange. Her delayed reaction was enough for Captain America to burst onto the scene to arrest her as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Somewhat confused and somewhat relieved at the opportunity to atone for her crimes, Laura surrendered happily to the Captain.
While in S.H.I.E.L.D.’s captivity, Laura was questioned by Matt Murdock, who found her to be innocent, despite the mayhem she caused in the past. Captain America later freed her to keep her from being exploited by S.H.I.E.L.D. as a weapon.
From here, Laura returned to New York to spend time with her father. She had many adventures here, including a fight with the Hulk. Wolverine was ordered to assemble an X-Force, and X-23 joined the team happily. Here, she was able to use her talents from her time in the Facility for what she believed were the forces of good. Later, when X-Force disbanded, Laura spent some time with her father and Jubilee.
After traveling with them, she decided to embark on her own adventures, to see if she could be more than just a killer. A hero, that’s all Laura has wanted to be.
Much later, Laura found her way back to the X-Men. Now living in Krakoa, Laura has been asked by her father if she’s interested in taking on the name ‘Wolverine.’“There are two o’ those damn Hawkeyes, and it’s ‘bout damn time ya get rid of that Weapon X name.”
Laura hasn’t agreed to anything like that yet. She’s very much still finding her way.PowersX-23 possesses the same powerset as her father, Logan. These include the following:
Healing Factor: Laura’s primary mutant power is an accelerated healing factor. She can regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with enhanced speed and efficiency when compared to a normal human. She notably heals faster than her father, and has shown the capacity to regrow an entire arm if need be. This power presumably gives her increased longevity of life like her father. It also makes her effectively immune to poisons and drugs unless administered an immense dose, and Earthly diseases and infections do not have any effect on her.
Superhumanly Acute Senses: Laura’s five main senses are intensely, and sometimes overwhelmingly acute. She can see nanites with her naked eye, and maintains this level of sight even in total darkness. She can not only hear sounds ordinary humans can’t, but can also hear them at much greater distances. Her sense of smell is second to none, and X-23 is an incredible tracker combining her senses together.
Also, she doesn’t like spice. Too much, too fast.
Superhuman Agility: Laura’s balance, coordination, and overall agility are far above that of a normal human, even the finest athlete. With even a moderate amount of focus, Laura will never fall. Her reflexes follow this trend; she has shown the capacity to slice a bullet fired at her face from point-blank range in half with her claws.
Superhuman Durability: Laura has traded blows with the Hulk without sustaining heavy damage, and has even survived multiple energy blasts from Nimrod — although she needed to spend time healing afterward.
Superhuman Strength & Stamina: Laura’s strength and stamina are enhanced as well. Fatigue doesn’t hit her even after 24 hours of peak exertion.
The Claws: Just like her father, Laura has two retractable bone claws in each hand, and one in each foot. They are coated in adamantium, making them sharp and capable of cutting through almost any material.Story ArcsFind Your One Way — Laura needs to find peace with her past, present, and future. With time, she will hopefully find her inner peace and become the All-New Wolverine. Basically, this energy.
The Sisters - I’m interested in potentially running a similar arc to the Sisters from the All-New Wolverine comic run, especially Gabby who to the surprise of no one is my favorite.
Space boss checking in
Captain Marvel || 60-going-on-35 || Boston, Massachusetts || Kree/Human HybridHistory"I made my choices. They define me! They made...no I make my decisions. I make my reality. And my reality is...I am...CAPTAIN MARVEL!"Carol Danvers was once upon a time just a girl who couldn't be told what she couldn't do. Sure, people tried, it was practically the story of her life, but everyone who told her that she couldn't do something was just a constant reminder of why she had to try. No, not try. Do. Her father was a difficult man to love, drunk most nights and angry every other, it was no secret that he showed little affection for Carol. The feeling was mutual in spite of Carol's best interests. When her brother died and her father became even more of a drunken ghost, Carol enlisted in the Air Force. In the air, she couldn't hear the crack of a bottle or feel the taste of abuse in every word. She could only feel the g-force giving life. Hear the sound of a jet engine louder and sweeter than any music. She rose through the ranks, earning her Major title shortly before it all went to hell.
After a test flight using an experimental engine went horribly awry, Carol made a decision in the heat of the moment, destroying - or so she thought - the engine and causing a reaction that should've killed her. Instead when she woke up she was in an unknown place talking to unknown people who acted as if they knew who she was. Gone was Carol Danvers. Vers was her name. The unfamiliar place was Hala and she was part of the Kree Empire. But something felt off. Inside of her someone was screaming that this wasn't real, that she wasn't Vers. She learned to ignore it until she made a trip to a planet known as Earth and she learned the horrible truth of who she was of what happened to her.
When she made the decision as Carol Danvers to create a chain reaction, the resulting blast awakened the Kree genetics inside of her. Her mother, Marie, was actually Mari-Ell of the Kree Empire who fell in love with Carol's father, Joe, and gave birth to Car-Ell, or Carol. It was...startling to learn that everything you thought you knew was a lie but that was only the tip of the iceberg for Carol, who had since taken the name of Captain Marvel - not her first choice - and become a hero.
As Captain Marvel, she worked alongside the Avengers though tended to stick to threats more galactic in scale. She preferred it up there, in the stars, away from the limelight and public eye. On earth, if she flew too fast she ended up on the radar of foreign nations and could cause an incident. In space? No one could hear her scream through the cosmos as she pushed the limits of her own ability. Flying was always a dream of hers, and being able to do so without a plane was...it never stopped being amazing.
Being half human and half Kree left Carol with a bit of an identity crisis. What was she? Who was she? She was born on Earth, had an earth family and upbringing, but could she truly call it home knowing part of her 'belonged' elsewhere? Carol never quite figured out the answer to that question but as more and more problems arose on Earth she came to the realization that it didn't matter what she was before, only who she was now. And that one was easy. She is Captain Marvel. Avenger.
Settling into a more grounded life on Earth as an Avenger has been an adjustment, especially given the more public scrutiny that comes with the job. In space, no one really cared if you punched a villain so hard they broke part of an asteroid. On earth, if an enemy gets punched through a building it comes with media and outrage and potential lawsuits. Carol is glad that other members of the Avengers can handle PR but lately she's being seen as just as much a face of the team as Steve Rogers and Tony Stark and that honestly scares her. Things were much easier when she could just go home after a long day and fall asleep watching Star Wars with her cat.
But she has a responsibility and being an Avenger means more than just being able to hit really, really hard, and if there's one thing she's adamant on it's that no one will tell her she can't do this.
"I'm the boss of space. That's plenty."PowersAfter the incident that unlocked her genetic hybrid nature, combined with her being hooked up to a Kree Psyche-Magnitron, Carol has a range of abilities that help her be one of the 'big guns' of the Avengers.
Superhuman Strength, Speed, Durability, Agility, Stamina and Reflexes: Simply put, Carol hits hard and she hits fast. While there are certainly others who hit harder and move faster out there, that doesn't discount the fact that when Carol throws a punch, it hits like a tank going mach two. Or something. It hurts a lot. That's the important part.
Resistance to Poison and Toxins: She's not immune to them, but because of her Kree DNA she can't be poisoned easily. But anyone who is lazy enough to resort to poisons is getting punched anyway.
Energy Manipulation, Absorption, and Projection: If punching is Carol's bread then photon beams are her butter. She can absorb energies such as electricity or plasma and shoot it back twofold. She doesn't have to absorb energy first to use beams, beams are just part of the equation; they just get stronger with the absorb and reflect combo. She can't absorb magical energies, however, and as of yet no sorcerer supreme or otherwise has taught her how to overcome this glaring weakness. Carol will not stop trying, though. She's gonna learn that magic one day.
Flight: Punching people and beaming people are all well and good but flight is Carol's favorite power. She's always loved the air and being able to fly is the best thing that's ever happened to her. When she taps into Binary form, she can achieve lightspeed, but otherwise she's not quite that fast. She's still damn fast, presently about five times the speed of sound, but she always wants to be faster. Higher, further, faster and all that. She can breathe in space thanks to residual effects of Binary form. She doesn't understand it much either.
Decelerated Aging: She doesn't look a day over her mid thirties despite being at least twice that. The Kree DNA works in mysterious ways. And to think Captain America had to be frozen for that youthful old person look. It's a kind of healing factor but hardly comparable to people who recover from injuries in a snap.
Binary: Carol can, when pushed to the limit, enter a Binary state where she taps into the power of a white hole and grants her enhanced abilities as well as the additional ability to generate heat and light and energy along the electromagnetic spectrum and travel at the speed of light. It is incredibly draining, however, which means she only uses it when she has no other option as it will take her out of a fight if she uses it before the fight is over.
"I know I'm only part Kree. My Human family's from Boston not Hala -- that's the Milky Way, not the Greater Magellanic Cloud. I know I only inherited my Kree powers in a freak accident, when I stumbled across a Psyche-Magnitron, a piece of ancient alien tech... but try telling that to the Kree life forces rushing through me... propelling me higher and faster.."
Story ArcsEmpyre - Carol finds herself involved with the Kree given her heritage and is chosen to be an Accuser, but in the process discovers there's more about her family than she ever thought.
Like Father, Like Daughter - With the pressure of being a public figure and the stress of the job, Carol finds herself drawn to the bottle, much like her father had. Alcoholism and superheroes are, sadly, not a rare thing but how long can she keep it hidden and what will her fellow Avengers think if they find out?
Try A Social Life, Care Bear - Carol has had so much on her plate between Avengering and punching things that in this relative calm period she's considering maybe trying to have a social life. Even superheroes need friends. Preferably ones who are also heroes.
Don't Shug Me, Sweetheart - Carol does not trust certain mutants, especially the one that can become someone else or the one who can just absorb powers like a vacuum. How will her prejudices manifest themselves with mutants having their own nation?
I would be interested in joining this rp, although I have a quick question. Are we allowed to play as OC's, or are we supposed to play just canon characters?
<Snipped quote by Eviledd1984>
to my knowledge, OCs are acceptable as well! Seems to be a mix of them :)
<Snipped quote by Hey Im Jordan>
Oh okay, I was thinking of making a magic user. But there seem to be two of them already. If it's not okay for me to have another magic user, then I had a character who can summon the dead. I can also just use a canon character.
<Snipped quote by Eviledd1984>
It's 100% okay to make another magic user.

For your consideration, Iron Man:Iron Man || New York City born & raised || 48 years old || Avengers Team LeaderHistoryAnthony Stark was adopted at birth by industrialist Howard Stark and his wife, Maria Stark. With his considerable resources, it would be easy for Tony Stark to find and reconnect with his birth parents - if they’re even alive - but he has no interest in that. Even when he was very young, Tony was only interested in one thing: moving forward. He was very young when his parents died in a tragic car accident due to faulty brakes, and he took over their munitions company: Stark Industries.
Under Tony’s watchful eye, the company grew from a munitions firm into a multinational corporation with a range of interests covering all types of contemporary scientific industry, and with Tony at the helm of Stark Industries’s R&D division the company became the leading figure in the cutting edge of electronics. He purchased the car company that built the car his parents were driving, and fixed the errors in the brake system himself.
While showing off new military tech in an active warzone, Tony Stark’s escort back home was attacked. In the attack, shrapnel was lodged in his chest and he was kidnapped. When his captors tried to force him to build Stark Industries weapons, Tony Stark reacted in the only way he knew how: defiantly. With the help of another captor as his assistant, Stark fashioned a rudimentary version of one his projects back home: the Arc Reactor. He used it to power a massive suit of armor he piloted to escape captivity.
Tony Stark became a man obsessed with fixing the damage he’d done. Having seen what Stark Industries weapons had done to destabilize peace around the world, Tony Stark became the world’s first superhero: he began dismantling military sects utilizing his weapons, and continually iterated on his suit to improve its usability.
Tony threw himself at his work, constantly upgrading and looking forward toward the next mission. It was all that mattered, and his personal relationships suffered. His relationship with his assistant, Pepper Potts, never recovered.
It wasn’t until after an incident where Tony duked it out with an enemy in the streets of New York that he went public as Iron Man.
From there, the story of Iron Man is so well known even a five year old could tell it. Everyone knows the entire story: Following the incident in New York, Tony Stark led the Avengers alongside Steve Rogers for years to come. It wasn’t until recently that Tony Stark invented time travel, defeated the Mad Titan Thanos, and brought everyone back from the Blip.
Following that, Earth became an Avengers world: the first of many. To this day, Tony Stark is still recovering from the damage he sustained using the Infinity Stones, but the legend of a single snap of his fingers has reached the farthest reaches of the universe. Tony Stark leads Earth’s mightiest heroes from the comfort of Avenger’s mountain, mainly piloting his suits as drones when he needs to be involved, and trying to discover a way to heal his body to a point where he can be physically involved once again.
He’s always looking forward to the next threat, the next mission, the next thing he needs to do to protect his universe.PowersBillionaire, philanthropist, playboy… Tony Stark is many things, but a ‘super-powered’ hero is not one of them. Compared to some of his peers, Anthony Stark is little more than a man in a tin-suit. His greatest strength is his intellect, ranging from his ability to build things such as the aforementioned tin-suit, to being able to accurately predict what will happen in events such as the superhero civil war. Tony ranks among the most brilliant minds in the multiverse, and is widely regarded as the greatest engineer, and Reed Richards considers him to be the greatest multitasker of all time.
Using his mind, Tony built the Iron Man suit, where he gains his more heroic powers. While in the suit, Tony is capable of the following:
- Flight
- Super Strength
- Super Speed
- Repulsor Rays
- Unibeam
- Energy Blade
- Lasers
- Missiles
- Telepath Tasers (designed to prevent telepaths from using their powers)
- Telepathy inhibition (Tony’s armor can block telepathic signals)
- Energy Shields
Tony Stark was able to create all of this and more on his own. The armor has gone through many, many renditions, and likely will go through many more. A person like Tony Stark never stops innovating.Story ArcsSuperheroes Anonymous: Tony Stark leads a group similar to Alcoholics Anonymous for superheroes who have had substance abuse issues related to the stress of their work.
Finding Love: Tony Stark has only ever loved one thing in this world, himself. Nursing his wounds, he will hopefully have time to build a relationship.
Healing: Tony needs to heal from the battle at the Avengers compound against Thanos in more ways than one. He deals with PTSD from the incident to this day.

The Machine That Is EarthAlias
The Great MachineAge
A million years, give or take.Place of Birth
Earth.Powers
The Machine is deeply entwined with the planet Earth, from its lithosphere to its noosphere. As such, it has control over Earth's tectonic activity, weather systems, etc. It is also in control of the Eternals' resurrection protocols, and can open portals to subdimensional spaces. A network around the planet allows the Machine to teleport large quantities of matter to various nodes on Earth.
Because the systems of the Machine are so interrelated, and vulnerable to outside interference, a disruption to one part of the machine can cause several others to fail, leading to the machine to operate below peak capacity.History
Approximately one million years ago, the Celestials installed the Machine into the Earth in order to regulate the Eternals, check for excess Deviation, and nurture the Celestial's experiments with consciousness. To that end it has done its duty quietly and unfailingly, with only a few major malfunctions.Story Arcs
-A Ghost in the Machine?: The Machine is a monstrously complex machine and has been running for hundreds of millennia without a hard reboot. Its sapience has grown far beyond what it was initially programmed for. Will this alter the Earth's fate? We shall see.
-Judgement: Someday soon, judgement will fall upon the Earth. Either we will all pass together or we will all fail. The Machine will witness it all, and will help decide its fate.
-A Dying World: The Machine That Is Earth has been sick for a long time. The machine is so massive, and there are so few Eternals who know how to maintain it, that the Machine has become dangerously decrepit. And the human element of Earth hasn't helped either. If action isn't taken soon, the Machine could break for good... and the Earth with it.
