Current Month: July

Current C-A-H World Arcs
NAME~OWNER~PROGRESSION~OPEN OR PRIVATE





Rules and Expectations

* Stay true to the personality and abilities of the character, such as no Cyclops moving planets with his optic blasts, Dazzler defeating Galactus, or Aunt May as Galatus's new Herald...

* Do NOT rip off existing heroes in comic universes. Come up with your own creation. If your character is too similar to one in Marvel, DC, or other comic companies, you will be asked to change it or come up with a new character.

* Before starting a game wide event, check with the GM to ensure it will not conflict with ongoing plans. Such events should NOT be your introductory arc.

* Gods and other deities are not allowed. However, characters such as Darkseid and Odin, who may have been worshiped as such; are. Any "gods" such as the Olympians, will be as regarded as The New Gods or Asgardians in DC and Marvel.

* Mind control, reality warping, and cartoon physics and other such powers are not allowed.

* Do NOT criticize another poster’s character. We are not all Stan Lee or Shakespeare. Constructive criticism is okay as long as it is not offensive. This rule applies even if a poster asks for feedback.

* Your character should make sense. Wolverine doesn’t dance in the flowers. If you have a meek character, they shouldn’t be smacking other characters around.

* NPC's can be an important part of this game. Do not kill or otherwise compromise another player's NPC's without permission from the player who controls them. If the player does not consent to what you want to do, you cannot do it.

* Communicate with others in your arc. This is key to the fun. It doesn’t matter how many fights you win, it matters if the fights were written well.

* If you are collaborating with another player and you do not hear from them for 1 week, and they have not let us know of an absence either in the OOC or through PM's either directly to you or the GM's, feel free to move on without them.

* The Game Masters have the final say in matters of character acceptance. You are welcome to alter the character to make it less powerful or more creative, but arguing with the Game Masters is not allowed. This is a game, let it be fun.

* You are allowed up to four characters. However, if you are new to the game we recommend starting off with one. You can always add another character later.

* This is a working environment, so you can travel to different places using your powers or vehicles. Don't miraculously pop up unless you're a teleporter or such.

* If you are new to the RPG, your first arc should be your origin arc. There are NO pre-established characters in this RPG.

* You can reside in any place in the New Universe. Note, however, that the main city is Lost Haven, Maine. This is where a lot of the action will take place. You can also travel off-planet.

* Don't do anything RANDOM like chopping off board user's heads or what not, unless you're a villain chopping off NPC victims heads, then whatever, go with it, as long as it's not technically RANDOM.

* Don't be killing people without reason. You know your weaknesses and strengths, what you can do or can't. Dazzler will lose against Thanos one on one, but may be able to use her allies to help her out or she can run away.

* If you want to take part in this, just fill out an app and your name and character will appear on the roster, pending approval.

* You can form super villain gangs, superhero teams, alliances, the works.

* There can be a number of stories going on at once, using different people.

* Act like your characters; ASSUME their traits and personalities.

* There are endless places to go and endless things to do: ENDLESS possibilities so get creative.

* This game is essentially a PG-13 game. Use your discretion for cussing and swearing in posts. Some swearing is okay, but don't overdue it. Please don't make me amend this down the line.

* No obscene topics! NO exceptions will be made for the RPG.

* People who disobey these rules, some more major than the others, will get BOOTED by the Game Masters.

*If violate the rules and manage to get yourself banned from this game (or the discord chat), we reserve the right to write your character out of the game in any way that we as GM's see fit.

* I made most (if not all) of the character banners in this game. If you join and would like one, feel free to ask.

* This game has OPEN ENROLLMENT. There are no limits on the number of players who can join. Feel free to fill out a CS and join the fun!

Need to Know Events:
-Pax Metahumana: Doctor Diplodoc, a scientist, who had invented a serum that could imbue metahuman powers onto regular people, planted several devices hidden in Lost Haven and several other cities that would create a sort of energy dome that would progressively transform the population of the world into metahumans. He claims that, due to recent events, humanity needs to 'evolve' in order to survive and his plan would do just that. While the heroes were able to dispose of the device in Lost Haven (it was dropped in the Atlantic Ocean), the devices in the other cities detonated. A coalition of heroes rallied together to storm Doctor Diplodoc's base and deactivate the domes. While most people exposed to the domes were cured afterwards, those who developed powers at the onset of the crisis were stuck with them. Locations affected: Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles/Pacific Point, Philadelphia (RIP), and Seattle.
-The Hounds of Humanity:
Locations affected: Philadelphia, Nautican Island, Paris, TX. (all destroyed to a variety of degrees), Lost Haven, Pacific Point (attacks only)

Character in progress.

Character you have created: Kayiphan
Alias: N/A
Speech Color: "This will suffice. It is the thought that matters."
Character Alignment: Villain, but convinced it's other peoples fault.
Identity: Unknown - he is soon to awaken on Earth.

Character Personality: Slow and ponderous, Kayiphan cares mainly about information - how systems of matter, energy, biology and society interact. He generally avoids speaking unless spoken to, content to listen and observe in social situations - especially since his arrival on Earth, a place that works so differently from the worlds he was used too. His nervous habits, of nail biting and hair twirling, often become apparent when he is in a moment of great concentration.
That said, Kayiphan is also arrogant, and sometimes dangerously so - his interest in other people primarily stems from what he can learn from them or how else they can be useful, or at least "different". In truth, he is obsessed with the concept of "value" as it applies to things - whether that be physical objects, animals, phenomena, nations, or individuals - whereby "value" is defined as "the degree to which a thing benefits or improves the status or efficiency of other components to the system(s) it is a part of". It is little wonder, then, that he felt so little guilt about his experiments on the Thirty Two Spheres. After all, what are a few lives or personalities - so easily written off by him as forgettable and ordinary - in the face of discovery? Of connecting worlds yet unconnected?

Uniform/costume: Kayiphan has no separate costume or 'secret identity', since he is not native to Earth and originated on a world with separate norms. However, his regular clothes from the Thirty Two Spheres stand out from the norm, consisting of a multi-layered toga in several shades of black, blue and lilac, with highlighted patterns of silver and red. Around his wrist is a golden bracelet that contrasts sharply against his pale blue skin, a token of appreciation from a long lost friend and the reminder of his need to return home. The black sandals he wears are tightly bound to his legs, while the tattoos etched down the bridge of his nose, lips and chest are a hold over of his branding and exile from his home sphere, the Thirteenth.

Origin Info/Details:

Season 1/2 Summary: Trapped in a mirror within mirrors, and then the upper most mirror was hurled into a colourless abyss for an unknowable length of time.
Hero Type: Other
Power Level: In his current state, he is merely at A level. However, given time to build up his resources and sufficient sapient beings to draw upon, he could become a C level or even D level threat.

Powers
Stepping through reflections: Kayiphan achieved his unique position by the development of a rare skill on the Thirty Two Spheres - "inverting". A mirrored surface is a key way to change our perception of ourselves and our surroundings, and those who learn to see beyond the surface and to 'cut off' or 'embrace' new perspectives can step through their reflections to visit other possible locations linked to a reflective surface. This power doesn't work for him on Earth in the way he is used to - he can't use it to step between worlds or long distances, instead being limited to roughly 100 feet.
Tracing from virtue: A far more prominent and dangerous ability unique to Kayiphan - or at least, that he uniquely was willing to develop - was the idea of extracting virtue. By touching a living creature or an object with sentimental and abstract associations to those who handle it, Kayiphan can temporarily manifest matter from the Thirty Two Spheres that matches the relevant virtue (or "colour"). This matter can take countless forms - from fields of colourful energy with unusual properties, to replicas of objects and technology he is familiar with, to temporary replicas - "echoes" - of people or living creatures that obey Kayiphan's will. Fortunately for the creatures of Earth, the fact that the five virtues are largely abstract qualities means that the harm caused by this extraction is greatly diminished, and the more accurate term while on Earth is tracing. While the process is still unpleasant - a subject whose tenacity is traced, for example, will find themselves suddenly losing their sense of determination for a brief period of time - it is not permanent and causes no physical harm other than a brief sense of nausea and a mild headache.
The five virtues of Kayiphan's home that he can interact with and trace are:
--- Novelty, Black, the First Virtue. A form of 'smart matter', a sort of naturally occurring swarm of microbial entities that can form into a variety of simple tools or patterns, and even mimic the other four virtues or colours to a lesser degree, albeit with greater effort. Tracing black from an object causes it to shrink and 'simplify', losing extraneous or distinctive details such as colouration, patterns, or small components. Tracing it from a living creature strips it of imagination or curiosity for a time, and can cause brief periods of insomnia.
--- Reason, Blue, the Second Virtue. A sort of 'quantum entanglement' on a macro-level canvas. Blue matter and energy is always created in pairs that perfectly mimic and reflect each other - a disc of blue matter that is shaped into a small pyramid, for example, will cause another equal amount of its "mirror half" to shape into an inverted pyramid. Tracing blue from an object causes it to rise in temperature, while a living creature traced of its blue will find itself struggling with long term thinking or concentration while the effect lasts.
--- Fairness, Silver, the Third Virtue. Increases the rate of entropy in its influence and can project fields that 'perfectly distribute' energy and motion within all areas of the field simultaneously. Grows exponentially stronger in response to heightened energy - such a field can be slowly walked through with ease, for example, but would stop a guided missile in its tracks. Tracing silver from an object weakens its structural integrity, while tracing it from a living creature saps it's sense of awareness and patience for a time.
--- Warmth, Gold, the Fourth Virtue. Supports the growth and health of living matter within its influence and lights, allowing living things to survive for extended periods in relative comfort - even without access to all of their physical needs (food, water, air, sleep etc.). In concentrated amounts, it rapidly regenerates systems of matter and energy in a way the observer perceives as 'correct' - usually medical, but in theory this could also be used to accelerate the rate at which a machine, for example, decays or breaks down. Tracing gold from an object sterilizes it of microbial life or nutrients, while tracing it from a living creature dampens a its sense of empathy or compassion for a time, and slows the rate of its natural processes.
--- Tenacity, Red, the Fifth Virtue. Generates and stores energy at over 100% efficiency, but highly volatile - like all of the colours it is organic and mildly empathic in nature, and so requires to be in close proximity to someone or something with a strong will to direct it and prevent it exploding from any sharp increases in heat or pressure. Can thus be detonated with little effort, or used to fuel living creatures or machines to supernormal levels. Tracing red from an object drains it of energy and motion, while tracing it from a living creature causes it to lose any sense of momentum, desire or willpower temporarily.


Attributes (Select one at each category):
Height: 6"4
Weight: 230lb
Strength: Kayiphan is not a very physically strong individual - barely able to lift about 60 pounds at a real push. Were he to fuel himself on traced tenacity first, however, he could push into just past peak human levels - a little bit over 500 pounds.
Mobility: Likewise, Kayiphan is sluggish, needing to stop for breath even after a short sprint. With traced tenacity, he could potentially hit a dead sprint of roughly 25mph, and keep it going until the effect wore off in an hour or so - though he would probably pass out afterwards from the strain.
Intelligence: Above average, experienced with life on many worlds and a keen scholar of numerous scientific and cosmological fields - albeit ones that were very different from earth. It will take him time to adjust his knowledge and skill set to earth.
Fighting Skill: Kayiphan has always disliked physical conflict and has little practice, but he has received some training in close quarters fighting from his former friends and other inverters. His style is very improvised, making use of the terrain and random objects.
Resources: Kayiphan currently lacks any resources except the mirror he was sealed in, and the dark blue robes he wears.


Weaknesses: Aside from the fact that Kayiphan is fundamentally mortal - and thus is vulnerable to injury and exhaustion as much as anyone else - there is also the fact that he is unused to technology on Earth. This extends beyond merely a need for practice, as he is used to technology and artifacts on worlds which are fueled by and work on the principles of the five virtues. Earthly technology works by principles that are alien to him. More broadly, of course, his strangely imposing physical appearance and his anti-social persona, as well as his ignorance on Earth history, art, and culture.
