@LPFan
Yah not on my end either. Maybe fix it? The site does this.

[Rin]

@Double Speaking of images not loading, your character's image is just showing a hotlink warning thing for me. ^^; Unless Carter actually looks like a transformed Shinken Red, although I doubt that's what you're going for no matter how awesome that would be. XD

@Rin

Thank the Lord. I was just gonna stay quiet... I thought I was the only one.

Sky Hawk

Name: James Bach

Age: 22

Gender: male

Ethnicity: German American

Appearance

He keeps his wings hidden by folding them and strapping them down when he is in his civilian clothes.

Confidential

Alias: Sky Hawk

Costume:


Meta-Human Power:

Wing Manifestation: James' mutation caused him to grow large birdlike wings out of his back. These wings have some control over the air currents that it produces when he flaps them and it grants him ability to fly at supersonic speed just above the sound barrier. These wings are very strong and can send heavy objects flying with a single hit, they also can be used as a defense against projectile attacks.

Wing Regeneration: If his wings become lost then they will grow back, but it will take a very long time.

Enhanced senses: He has all of the senses of a hawk which includes their excellent eyesight that is ten times better than a human and is able to see a broader spectrum of light than a regular person.

Enhanced strength: James is nine times stronger than an normal human.

Weaknesses or Side-Effects: Toxins and pesticides that are deadly to hawks are deadly to him. He is quick to anger and will become distracted if someone angers him enough. Even though he has inhuman strength he can still be brought down by gunfire and other powerful forms of weaponry.

Personality: Even before the accident James had problems with his temper thanks to having parents who argued a lot and a very authoritative mother who yelled at him when he made mistakes. These anger issues affected how he socialized with people and it made him very combative and got him into several fights.

He is good deep down and tries to do the right thing, but his anger leads him astray. Thanks to the fearful looks and angry condemnation of normal people, James has contempt for humanity and coming from a family who immigrated to America after WW2 knows what hate can be like. Despite his temper he was still able to find love.

Background: James was not a very loved child, his parents would argue a lot and his mother was overly strict. She would yell at him when he made mistakes and then blame her husband for his mistakes. This made James a very angry young child and it became very easy to provoke him. His anger issues got him into several fights with kids and suspension from school.

This didn't help his family life and his anger got worse. There was a bright side to his life, he found love in a girl he had met in high school and she seemed to be able to calm him down when he was angry. Her name Anna and he cared much for her. When he finally graduated from high school James moved out of his parents house as quickly as possible and went to collage in Modern City Georgia.

As his relationship with Anna developed more James felt better than he had then all of his childhood. Things were looking up and he was preparing to move in with Anna when the accident happened. He was biking near the area of bay where the ship carrying the toxic chemicals exploded and James was caught in the blast. All he remembered was things going pitch black and awaking in a hospital bed.

At first he felt normal, but he feared of being infected with some terrible toxin when the TV near his bed showed a story about the accident. Anna had been by his side from the moment she had been allowed to see him. She had been terrified for James' life and the doctors reassured them that he didn't seem to have any illnesses inside him. Not long after Anna left for home did James begin to feel sick. First he got terrible stomach pains and then a really bad headache. James' body started to feel like it was being ripped apart.

He closed his eyes tightly hoping for it stop and after what seemed like an hour it did, but he didn't feel the same. When James opened his eyes he looked directly into a mirror and there staring back at him was a man with large birdlike wings. The sheer shock of his appearance made him thrash about the room in a panic and his newly formed wings knocked over several objects in the room. When the doctors came running into the room they were greeted by a shocking sight.

They screamed and James ran and he quickly smashed through the window to make his escape. He hoped that this was a nightmare, but it wasn't, it was real and now he was now like a freak. James then thought of Anna and he couldn't bare the thought of facing her like this and he stayed away from her, breaking his own heart in the process. He soon learned to fly and saw that he had other powers and he began to help others in need. He decided that he would use his mutation to try and do good, but people still feared him and many hated him for what he was. He found a weapon that he would use to dish out justice to those that he thought deserved it.

Other: he uses a mace as his primary weapon and a gauntlet with sharp metal talons as his second weapon.

If Inferno gets the seal of approval, you be sure that he'll initially be in cahoots with my guy. I'm assuming that everyone in Modern City and around knows about his existence? It would only make sense that they did, considering his size and abilities.

@Teal

yep it's hard to miss a dragon. James has Beast Boy and Beast problems lol

[Rin]

I dunno, I think it would be cool if he teamed up with Malcolm and they formed some kind of monster team. XD

[Mr_pink]

Name: Edmund 'Mundy' Conagher
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Caucasian - Australian

Appearance

Mundy

Mundy stands at a tall 6 foot 2 and weighs around 185lbs. He has an athletic physique and keeps this physique up by visitng the gym almost every day.

Confidential

Alias: None as of yet

Costume:

Meta-Human Power:
Mundy is able to phase through any solid object in the world. He also has slight super strength.

Weaknesses or Side-Effects:
He is essentially human other than his powers. Which means bullets and the like can still be fatal to him and if he phased through a wall in a skyscraper and there was nothing on the other side, he would surely fall to his death.

Personality:
Mundy is essentially what you'd call a psychopath. He finds it extremely hard to maintain any relationships and is incredibly antisocial. That being said, he can maintain a few friendships for extended periods of time depending on the person. He lacks a moral responsibility on what is good and what is bad, but he has learned from experience and generally can do the right thing most of the time. That being said, his methods are less than ethical. He is very vain and cares greatly about his appearance.

Background:
Edmund 'Mundy' Conagher was born in Adelaide, Australia. As a young boy, his father would often take Mundy into the outback to go hunting, often to sell the hides and such for a little extra cash. Mundy didn't do great in school and would often skip school to go and play football with other children who had also skipped school. As a teenager he began to take greater care for his body and essentially became much vainer than he ever had been. He also began to pay more attention in school as the looming threat of the real world and the potential to be put into some shitty office job. He passed his first exams and barely passed his highers but failed his advanced highers. He managed to get a job as a tour guide until he had raised enough money to pick up and leave Adelaide.

He moved to America in his early 20s, specifically Modern City, Georgia. He bought an apartment there and got a job as a technician for Modern Stadium. He mostly just fiddles about with the lights and fixes any technical errors, but it pays well and he can't complain. Around his mid 20s he began to feel far different than he ever had before. Like he needed to hunt again, it started with him going hunting deer and the like, but grew and grew until the only thing he can think of to hunt now are people. Of course, not any civilians or anything, but gangsters and the like are fair play. On the day of the explosion, Mundy was out picking up supplies for a fishing trip he had planned to go on in the recent future, of course, things didn't go to plan.

While my guy just goes about being ignorant or not caring about what the rest are up to. Just doing his thing.

@Mr_pink
Have some interwebz points for Hotline Miami reference.

@Avanhelsing

Wouldn't that make it hard to have your character do anything? From my experience in role-playing on this site, those kinds of characters normally end up with the player dropping out.

@Mr_pink

James, Mundy and Malcolm should team up lol

[Double]

@Rin Huh, it was working fine yesterday. Better fix it, then.

[Double]

Okay it should be fixed now. Used a different photo of the same person.

[Avanhelsing]

@Weird Tales
I meant at first Werid. This isn't my first open world hero rp... But you're right.

Alright I think I should have Jack team up with someone... But who?

[Teal]

I don't think team ups are necessary. Simply follow the plot. I took the 'lone wolf' road in a similar RP in the past, and I can confirm it is harder to catch up when you take that route. My character would be the last to uncover important info and it took him a while to pace up, although that wasn't the reason why I dropped out.

[Rin]

Eh, the team up thing was more just me thinking it would be cool to have a team of superheroes who all look like monsters, really. XD I dunno, always been a fan of the whole "it's what inside that counts" kind of thing for some reason, which admittedly is why Malcolm is partially based on good old Ben Grimm.

[Heat]

Not sure how well my character would team up with another villain tilted character. He kind of uses people but it could be a fun dynamic if he aligned with someone with the same goals.

[Avanhelsing]

Who to hit on... Choices Choices...

[SwarthyBard126]

Who to hit on... Choices Choices...

@Avanhelsing

how about me? (No plz don't)

[Avanhelsing]

@SwarthyBard126
Honestly your guy scares the living hell out of me...

[Rin]

I wouldn't recommend hitting on Malcolm. He's a married man, after all!
