UNIVERSAL ™ iCheck [OC superhero Build-A-Universe]

[Dblade26]

I'd rather not talk about it. I just mentioned it in case I'm not around as much as I'd like.

[Omega Man]

@Weird Tales Can't wait to see what you come up with. Rat Boy was a favorite in Titans so it should be good.

@Damo021 Let's hear them! Right now we're just looking at finishing Primary CS's before we get going with another OOC and IC. Secondary characters will probably come in after we post two or three times with our Primary Characters. We kinda got caught up in the last thread too quickly with making additional characters but the complex villains we have [Sinn and Mayhew] and the cosmic stuff [Radiance and Sentinel] already open a ton of doors.

I still don't know what I'll do for a character. As for the list of Archetypes and what's already off the board...

Super Soldier ACCEPTED - Soldier of Fortune
Demi-God/Goddess
Advanced Techno [Ironman, Black Panther]
Feral Man/Woman [Wolverine, Tigra, Beast]
Archer/Sharpshooter [Hawkeye, Punisher]
Size Manipulator ACCEPTED - Sentinel [Changed the Archetype since his powers included giant growth]
Big Man/Woman [Hulk, She Hulk, Thing]
Vigilante [Moon Knight, Punisher (again lol), Daredevil]
Wildcard 1 ACCEPTED - Mayhew [mystic pawn dealer]
Wildcard 2
Wildcard 3
Cosmic Outlaw [Starlord, Darkhawk, Gamora]
Plant Person [Black Tom, Groot]
Atlantian [Namor, Attuma, Namorita, anybody wanna put a spin on Atlantis?]
Alien 1 ACCEPTED - Radiance
Alien 2 [I'm willing to accept a couple more original alien races to make it a true universal theme]
Elemental ACCEPTED - Sekhemi [fire and darkness manipulation]
Big Man Villain [Red Hulk, Juggernaut, Abomination]
Genius ACCEPTED - Gilgamesh Sinn
Wildcard 4

Great cast thus far. I gotta go back and see if I missed anyone.

EDIT: Still working on the Archetypes. It's my day off so I'm gonna be on here a lot more often today.

~KL~

[Rin]

Hmmm, trying to think up an archetype for my idea but it's turning out a bit... Captain/Mary Marvel-ish and it looks like demigoddess is the best fit... But since Radiance fits into the alien archetype too I guess it wouldn't be too much of a problem to have a more Earth-based demigoddess around, right? ^^; Like how you can have the New Gods running around the same universe that has Wonder Woman and whatnot. XD

...Or maybe I'll just write it up first and then figure out what archetype she could fit I guess.

[Omega Man]

Made the edit above just a second ago to move the Egyptian God fire/darkness manipulator into the demi-god spot. Could be an additional Wildcard spot though, same as a shrinking hero as opposed to the giant Sentinel.

Nevermind this bit LOL

~KL~

[Omega Man]

@Lmpkio Actually, giant growth wasn't on the powers list in the edit. I'm not opposed to the giant growth still, so long as it's part of the suit's power set. If you wanted to drop it though I could move him to Advanced Techno.

@Rin

I'm moving Sekhemi to the elemental spot [I don't know where I got that character was an Egyptian God rather than a Prince] since the character's powers leaned toward fire manipulation moreso than the Raven-esque darkness manipulation. So Demi God/Godess will still be available.

@The Kid Lantern

I was gonna mention size manipulation wasn't present in his suit. However... I can probably add that in as a future power in a future arc.

Started my second character.

TBD

| A G E: |

26

| P O W E R S: |

TBD has a mechanical body overlaid with a bio-mechanical skin-weave. To the naked eye, TBD appears completely human but beneath the near bullet proof techno-organic skin lies a complex mechanical body. Due to this TBD is capable of lifting weights of nearly ten tonnes above his head. Concealed within his back and calves are repulsor-lift thrusters to enable flight for a short distance. His palms contain kinetic enhancers which allow him to boost his strikes or even to simple strike out with a kinetic blast. TBD is also able to charge the stored energy in his body and use his optical lenses as a focusing crystal in order to fire blasts of laser from his eyes.

TBD is capable of running at a speed of fifty miles per hour and capable of breaking Mach One in flight. His body is powered by a combination of hydrogen and solar converters meaning that without both air and sunlight TBD will eventually cease to move and shut down.

| W E A K N E S S E S: |

TBD is a mechanical being and as such requires regular maintenance along with a power source. Further more electrical and magnetic attacks are exceptionally dangerous to TBD and can lead to him shutting down both temporarily or permanently. Extreme temperature can affect TBD operating conditions. Extreme cold can slow his processes while extreme heat can cause him to malfunction or shut down.

TBD

TBD

| B I O G R A P H Y: |

Was a man and then he died. Was saved by his mind and consciousness being transferred into a new robotic body. Designed to be the next generation of 'super soldier', TBD was deployed overseas where he led a group of counter-insurgents. Finding out that he was being remotely controlled, TBD slaughtered his unit under the control of a corrupt exec who then led TBD to complete the mission on his own to showcase his superiority to the average soldier. Enraged and horrified by what he had done, TBD managed to break free of the exec's control and took by control of his life. Now he pays penance for his actions by looking out for the people of New Athens.

| S T O R Y L I N E S: |

■ Who am I? - TBD struggles to find himself as he adjusts to his new life in New Athens.
■ Ghosts of the Past - A new breed of human/machine hybrid shows up in New Athens with a familiar foe at the helm.
■ Assemble - Faced with a new threat, TBD seeks out New Athens' other heroes to assemble a team to protect the city.

@Lmpkio

Yeah I'll keep him as a Size Manipulator then for now. Unless you really don't want him to be a giant, then I may potentially make a giant man type of guy.

@Lord Wraith When TBD is done [assuming you're still thinking of names and TBD doesn't stand for something], since he's completely a machine, I'll make a new Archetype Machine Man/Woman since there's a big difference in Vision and Ironman. I like this character so far.

~KL~

[Lord Wraith]

@The Kid Lantern Yeah, I'm still thinking of names haha

[Lmpkio]

@The Kid Lantern You can keep him so for now. I'll maybe go with that arc thing or have him change size as a default power.

[Gisk]

Oh.

Hey. A thing. I'll just quietly sneak in.

EDIT: Okay, super rough five minute idea for Atlantis, since I see that that is a thus far unused archetype:

Atlantis was a grand city in the early days of humanity, when gods were still worshiped and strong. They were the first civilization to "invent" magic, and the gods that ruled the world at the time were angered and frightened of the power that mortals were showing. They tried to put a stop to it early, and the gods of earth and water joined forces to sink the entire city into the ocean. The Atlanteans protected themselves with their magic, and survived the calamity, but deep in the ocean the only god who knew of their survival was the ruling ocean god of the time. This god kept their continued existence a secret from the others, meaning to use the magical power of Atlantis for his own means later.

The Atlanteans summoned storms at sea for the Ocean Father, and helped guide the waves and twist the creatures of the deep into more powerful or more cunning monsters than ever. The shift in power to the Ocean created mistrust between the gods of the time, and when the time came that the Ocean called on Atlantis to aid him in a bid for power, they agreed. But they lied. When the Ocean Father made his move, Atlantis stayed hidden in the deeps, and let the gods tear each other apart, reveling in their long awaited revenge.

But this was many thousands of years ago, and the Magi of Atlantis have urged their people to stay hidden all this time. It was only recently, when the first scouts in thousands of years dared to surface that the Atlanteans discovered that the world they had known had been replaced by the modern age. Gods may still exist, but the truly powerful beings were mortals. This was the age that Atlantis was meant to live in. They revealed themselves, and lifted the city, not all the way to the surface, but out of the deepest depths that they had been hiding in.

Physiology: Because of a lack of population, Atlantis has used magic to re-diversify their genes to prevent inbreeding, and to make them more fit for their new home. Atlanteans are pale as a general rule, all have gills and all are stronger and tougher than an average human(a result of living at extreme pressures). Some retain their human shape, but many come from more heavily altered bloodlines and have bodies more suited for moving in water. All Atlanteans are amphibious, however, as the main portion of the city exists in a bubble.

EDIT 2: Eh, on second thought, I don't want to play an ocean based character in a mountain town.

[R31GN]

This looks interesting, if a bit busy. Room for one more?

[Omega Man]

I think I may do an Advanced Techno and go with a guy riding a seventy-five feet long robot snake. Inspired by some snake themed villains ATM... if @Weird Tales does an insect themed hero maybe this guy could've been a one time villain reformed by STRIKE.

This is the only good image I can find of a robot snake...



~KL~

[Lord Wraith]

@The Kid Lantern If he doesn't control the robot snake with a flute I'm out. :P

[Omega Man]

@Gisk@R31GN We're still accepting. This is meant to be a larger game. Several interested parties need to turn in Primary Character Sheets if they're gonna get in on this!

~KL~

[Gisk]

Is that to say that there's a deadline?

[Omega Man]

Not exactly, but the sooner the better as archetypes will become unavailable.

~KL~

[Rin]

Just need to find that one spark that'll tie all my disparate ideas together I guess. ^^; I mean all else fails I can just dig up something old that I haven't used in a while and go with that instead, but I like to try new things so yeah. Hmmm.

[Archmage MC]

Hm, not sure how long I could play that robot thingy since I'm not so attached to it if this is supposed to be a huge world sorta deal.
