[OOC] Academy of Hereos and Villains: Year two

[Avanhelsing]

Are my guys good to come back? I might remake Ryan's CS in the new style. I am so avant-garde.

[MarshiestMallow]

@Avanhelsing
Of course, Avan!

[Avanhelsing]

@Caits
Cheers. Now to figure out where to start?

[MarshiestMallow]

Well... there was an explosion at the front gates... the twins blew up a car... Amayia was introduced... Bruce is there, aPhoebe was greeting Amayia when the car barrelled through the gates.

So here's the Kryptonian hybrid I've been workshopping, @KatherinWinter & @Caits. Let me know what you think.

Lara Lambert

Name: Lara Lambert

Allias: N/A

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Parents: Tony Masters (Taskmaster) and Kara Zor-El (Supergirl). Adopted by Lenard Lambert (Agent L).

Powers and abilities:

Martial Arts Intuition: Lara can learn martial arts at a greatly accelerated rate. While she can get a general idea of certain moves and techniques just by watching someone, she learns better through practice. By watching footage of someone performing certain moves, Lara can master a technique within a week, but by actually performing the moves with repetition and practice she can master them in a day. Without practice or regular use she will forget these skills though, just like anyone else.

Musical Intuition: Likewise, Lara can learn music at a prodigal rate, learning how to read sheet music within a day and learning to play musical instruments in the same way she learns martial arts. As with any of her intuitive capabilities however, Lara is limited to her own body's capabilities. She cannot replicate the movements of beings with multiple arms, legs, tentacles or different physiology.

Language Intuition: Music being another kind of language, Lara can learn languages at greatly increased rate. Again she is limited to the sounds her mouth can make. Likewise, since there is only so much she can remember, she can only master six languages (including music and math) before she forgets other languages.

Mathematical Intuition: As with Language Intuition. She is limited to her human/kryptonian perception of the world however and cannot perform mental equations exhibited by beings with wholly alien perception or cognitive abilities.

Kryptonian Hybrid: Lara is a human-kryptonian hybrid and as a result has many Kryptonian abilities and diminished Kryptonian weaknesses. She has Kryptonian strength, durability, heat vision and flight thanks to yellow sun radiation. While she can hold her breath for an indefinite amount of time, she cannot freeze or move objects with the force of her breath. She also does not have Kryptonian Genius-Level intellect, merely average human intelligence.
Lara is also effected by green kryptonite, but to a lesser degree. She does not double over in discomfort or pain, but is rendered powerless while in its presence, much like red sun radiation, which also has the same effect. Gold Kryptonite can also permanently depower Lara, although it is unknown what effect other Kryptonite strains will have on her hybrid physiology. Pink Kryptonite has been known to make Lara laugh uncontrollably, however.

Personality:

Lara has a very outgoing, bubbly and positive personality. She is friendly and considerate, however she is afraid of hurting others following a childhood trauma.

Bio:

Lara Lambert is the result of a secret Hydra project to, once again, create the perfect human specimen. This was achieved by paying Taskmaster for numerous genetic samples ranging from blood and even marrow as well as the diligent collection of genetic material left behind by Supergirl during her numerous encounters, ranging from saliva collected from cup she had sipped from and even strand of hair. The experiment ended in multiple failures and setbacks until the birth of Lara Lamberet.

It was at this time however that Lenard Lambert, known to S.H.I.E.L.D as "Agent L" defected, turning over microfilm and secret files to S.H.I.E.L.D which ultimately resulted in the destruction of the Hydra lab as well as the research they had been conducting. It was during this chaos that Lenard retrieved the barely month-old Lara and went into hiding, keeping her existences a secret from the world, even S.H.I.E.L.D.
Raising her as his own daughter, Lenard attempted to instill within her a set or morals and to provide her with as healthy and happy a childhood as possible, as even he didn't know if or when her powers would begin to manifest. It wasn't until Lara's sixth birthday that his questions were answered. Lara, who had already exhibited a talent for music and gymnastics, had been having a particularly bad day, as most six-year old's do. It was during a tantrum that she hurled her adoptive father across the room and into their kitchen stove, knocking over a boiling pot and badly scalding the left side of her father's face and his shoulder. In a panic, and as she had been taught to do, Lara called emergency services and over the next several weeks refused to leave her father's side, who had told the medical staff that he had fallen and knocked over the stove, despite the large dent in the oven door.

It was upon returning home that Lenard told Lara some of the truth of her origins. He told her that he had rescued her from a group of people like the ones she saw the super heroes fighting on TV and that they had given her the powers of the strongest woman there was. He told Lara that her mother didn't not die like he had told her, but that the group who had given her powers had taken her and that her mother didn't know she had a daughter and neither did her father. He also told her that her powers would continue to grow as she got older. He then asked Lara what she wanted. He could help her learn how to use her powers, but she may have to go away for a while, or he could help her suppress them.

Not wanting to leave her father and still feeling guilty for the scars on his face, Lara asked Lenard to suppress her powers so she didn't accidentally hurt anyone else. As a result, Lara has worn a set of green Kryptonite jewelry, including a necklace, earrings and charm bracelet, ever since.

Over time Lenard answered more of her questions, telling her "Daddies don't lie." He admitted that her biological mother was Supergirl and that her father was the villain Taskmaster and that due to his powers, he had likely forgotten his involvement in her creation. Lara, despite this knowledge, continued living as normal a life as possible, participating in music, gymnastics and cheerleading, however the knowledge that she possessed the ability to help others and do more continued to nag at her.
Following her graduation from High School, Lara sat down with her father and asked him what he had meant by learning to use her powers. Lenard admitted that in the past 12 years, he had lost track of the people who could help him but he had come to learn of a school headed by numerous heroes such as Superman, Batman, Iron Man and Professor Charles Xavier. He told her that, instead of attending college like she had planned, he could make some calls and arrange for her enrollment there instead, where she could learn to control her abilities and help others. After weeks of consideration and thought, although she still remains incredibly hesitant given that she has no experience, Lara agreed and set in motion the chain of events that would lead to her embracing her abilities and potential.

Appearance:

Black hair, green eyes, freckles, 6'0.

@KatherinWinter; just because you said "don't feel bad", doesn't mean I'm not going to feel like crap after reading that. I was trying to be nice, and to open myself up to you and the rest of the group; only to be told I'm now going to be the one person you avoid, just because of my skill level...

Sorry, but it's hard to take that in anyway that isn't going to make me feel like shit...

If you're stuck in the mindset that you've peaked already, and aren't willing to even try; then yeah, theres no hope. But you learn and grow by actually doing things; by testing yourself and pushing your limits. So why not istead of just shoving my name on a list of people who you refuse to interact with, you actually try.

Don't pass judgement on me, and don't punish my characters because you think you can't keep up with my writing. That's not right.

[Goliah]

@Vicier

Anyway, I need to edit my post because I forgot there was an explosion.

EDIT: Fixed it!

[MarshiestMallow]

Let me first start with how damn excited I was about bringing in a new character, and excited to bring in new ideas, new plans for the role play that are aimed at everyone, involving everyone.

Now I just feel so terrible.

I wanted this to be a role play where anyone, regardless of skill, could be here, and we weren't getting that in free role play. That's why I moved it to casual. I know there were some concerns doing that, but I feel like we did it well. I feel like everyone has done well, and I'm so proud of that.

A year ago, a post like the one Vic and I just did would have terrified me. Would have made me feel inadequate, so I know how it feels. Now? It makes me feel happy that I can do something like that. I feel like I have grown so much as a writer, and I have Vic to thank for that. And Damo. And blackpanther.

I just want everyone to have the chance to grow, like I have. A year ago, I would have said I'd reached my peak. Now? I feel like I've reached the peak and am now looking at the next mountain, thinking "I can do that"

Please, let's not argue. Let's not put ourselves down and say we can't do anything like that.

Because... you can. And you will.

[BlackPanther]

Thank you caits

Honestly how I work is I try to interact with different characters because the result is always interesting

And I love huge posts
Seriously I love it because it gives me more to read and imagine

(I am currently in a rut with hachi and Jasper but I imagine I can pull out of that fairly soon)

I myself range from like one paragraph to...I think 4 is my longest
And I have a tendency to try to match...I don't always make it but I like to try to challenge myself to do so

Anyway
Don't shelf interactions because there's matching issue with length
Just go for it and see what happens :)

Just my random input ^.^

[Mistress Dizzy]

I think I have an ear infection. Again. Oy

[MarshiestMallow]

I think I have an ear infection. Again. Oy

@Mistress Dizzy

Aw, well, rest up, take some anti-inflamatories if you have them, and stay hydrated, and if it gets worse, get some ear drops

[CajunRobinHood]

@Goliah
It's fine by me. I like her origins, it definitely makes more sense to me than a relationship between her parents like I thought you meant.

[Goliah]

@Mistress Dizzy, @Caits, @KatherinWinter? Thoughts?

[CajunRobinHood]

@Avanhelsing
As far as my brother, I figured we could just go simple and one of us could wake the other up in a hurried panic

[MarshiestMallow]

@Goliahseems okay

[KatherinWinter]

@Goliah I am not sure how she can have an average human intelligence and learn six languages. But other than that I have no problem with it.

[CajunRobinHood]

@KatherinWinter
You don't have to be a genius to learn multiple languages. I speak three and am familiar with three more, but I'm no Einstein

[Goliah]

@Mistress Dizzy, @KatherinWinter Sorry, some factors beyond my control have come up and I have to drop out from the RP. Thanks for the fun everyone, hopefully I'll see you all elsewhere. Sorry for the abruptness, but it's something I quite literally just realised myself. I hope it's not too much of an inconvenience considering how new Modlen is to the RP.

[KatherinWinter]

@CajunRobinHoodmeans your smarter than me and most people I know. I barely know one language. But it doesn't look like it matters.
