[OOC] I Am a Superhero! - Watashi wa sūpāhīrōdesu! - 私はスーパーヒーローです！(Anime Superhero RP)

[Lmpkio]

@DrewVonAwesome Hmmmmm... I'm not sure where could be a good site tbh. You may have to look for one yourself. Thought what does the suit look like if you have an idea already?

[KoL]

This seems like a fun ride. I'll see if I can come up with an idea.

[Lmpkio]

@KoL Alright! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

[Oni_]

This should more or less cover everything. May have accidentally posted it in the wrong tab a second ago. Ignore that for now. Far as the apps concerned, probably a few minor mistakes here and there but nothing major that I could pick out. Let me know if anything needs re-writing to make more sense.

Muh App

The game is on again, A lover or a friend, A big thing or a small, The winner takes it all.

Name:
Jack Kennithson
The Dealer
Or, mostly
The Dancing Jack

Age:
Unknown for certain, Police records suggest that Jack is roughly 23 years of age however.
Gender:
Male

Hero/Villain/Neutral:
Jack is most likely considered a villain, even at times a SUPERvillain due to his powers, however he prefers to think of himself as something with slightly less... negative connotations. Therefore he refers to himself as a Super-menace.

Powers:
The Game Master
The power that Jack possesses is by no means boring, he cannot run at super speeds, nor can he fly. But rather he is able to set rules to objectives. Like some form of twisted game. To give an idea as to how it works, imagine if Batman HAD to complete the puzzles that the Riddler sets for him. If there is something that someone is trying to do, then Jack can set conditions. That villain you were chasing? Well he's on a building. So while you get up there why don't we play a game? Thirty minutes, you must get to the roof. No flying. Only one staircase will lead you there. Find it and you win.

But what happens if a hero, or for that matter anyone, loses one of these games? Well. The answer to that is typically, essentially nothing. Well, they've lost the time that the game went on for but the heroes will always emerge unharmed, unless they got hurt during the game itself. But, and it's a big but. Jack can keep them with-held for losing the game or do something like take some loose change like some kind of RPG character. It will be part of the losing conditions naturally so he wont do it randomly, but it can prove to be a real pain in the ass.

Another real-world example that could happen: Your taking a commute - hey even the best heroes need to - when suddenly the trains breaks fail. Your time limit is and hour, until that really sharp turn where the train will probably derail killing a whole bunch of people. Stop the train. The only rule? You do not change it's course. The losing condition, well. I suppose it would have to be your lunch.

And that is all she wrote. No one said the power doesn't have it's uses. It's ability to set these games could become a great asset, but screwing with people is fun enough.

Weapons:

All there is in this category is a neato baton, one of those that you slam into the ground to close.

Personality:

Jack isn't that bad of a person, well not if you know him well enough. But his tendencies to cause chaos get him set aside as a bad person. So you know what? If that's what they label him why not play the part? More people like him exist so why not get in their way, set the back? Just be a pest? That is the extent of Jacks motivation, screw with people like him. It's not a vendetta, if he stopped then no one would search after him, after all. His crimes are petty.

Other than this slightly to optimistic approach to his situation Jack is cool headed, well, about 85 percent of the time he is. If you're wondering that's his typical win rate. You know what they say, the house has the high ground.

History:

You know what rule number one of gambling is? The house always wins. And ain't it a kick in the teeth. Unless of course you ARE the house, but so few people get that pleasure. Jack learnt that at a young age, making so called "bets" was commonplace and when they're rigged from the start you soon learn to steer clear, unless, much like the house you're the one who's doing the rigging.

But school-ground bets are the little-leagues. Like a gateway drug only much less harmful. It starts out small, maths homework answers, then onto pocket money and boom before you know it your in a high-rollers casino. Its where you start early that makes the big difference, and for Jack, well. He got an early start when it came to dealing out the cards.

85% that's how much the house won when Jack was involved, it was slightly below expectations but it kept people coming back for more. At least that's what the house thought. No one swindles money from the house, not even the likes of Angele Merkel. But that's a whole different story.

So there he was, thinking he was taking candy from a baby, but in reality the baby was waiting to take that candy right back from the poor sucker who took them on. When jack was next in the high rollers table it was as a player. But that was few and far between. He took the time to reflect on life, enjoy himself a bit. He visited his Grandma every Sunday, they enjoyed a game of monopoly usually. And then it happened. His power emerged.

Life went all kinds of strange after that. Ups and downs of whether things were looking up. Sometimes he felt like a king, he WAS the house now. He set his own rules to his own games. Other times he felt like a freak, it was a maelstrom of conflicting thoughts and opinions. Then it hit him. If he was the house, then he would secure his 85% win rate in life. That's exactly what he got, for a time.

Three months down the line and he was in the slammer. "Thirty minutes, get me downtown, you lose... half of my fee" it was nothing special. But the game had commenced and it was very, very real. It was difficult to explain at first, but the meter sort of just... stopped. Like the taxi wasn't moving. Soon, it ticked over, at half the rate it normally would. The cab driver realized and called him out. That's to say, he actually called the cops, accused Jack of messing with his stuff. Well, what can he say. The other 15 percent had to kick in sometime.

But then he delved more, played more games. The results were shown to be real. He was labelled as some kind of minor criminal. Nothing particularly amazing. But still, someone would come after him. He just needed to play the waiting game. Soon someone would come after the Dancing Jack, who makes up these names? Mind you he had it coming, his "criminal signature" was to leave a Jack of Spades behind to signal that it was him who was the so called "perp".

Weakness:
At the end of the day, a game is a game. He may be able to make them out of reality but this certainly isn't science fiction. He can't make people disappear into thin air if they lose. He's also not greatly suited to combat, which is why unless he just so happens to have a Quetzalcoatlus to hand he isn't going to be fighting. Also if you really want to kill him, just win the game an put a bullet in his head.

He's also hydrophobic, just don't bring it up. He tries to ignore it.

A theme:

[DrewVonAwesome]

I'm thinking maybe something like Tiger's suit only without the helmet but the mask he'd wear under it.

[Lmpkio]

@Oni_ Man oh man! He looks amazing! He sounds amazing! He acts amazing! This is one unique character. I like him! You can put him in the post where you accidentally posted. Can't wait to meet this guy in the rp!

[Lmpkio]

@DrewVonAwesome Hmmmmm, not sure where to find it. However, you can just simply get his suit, note on the bottom page like (Ex: Helmet not included). You can also add additional pics like Mask: (and then put the pic below it). Just a suggestion.

[DrewVonAwesome]

Actually question, I have a second character idea can I do two characters?

[Lmpkio]

@DrewVonAwesome You can do as many as you like.

[Ryu]

Mannnn

I take a five hour nap and come back to see amazing OCs.

[Lmpkio]

@Ryu Lol! Thanks! However its never too late to hop right in!

[Lmpkio]

Also, in case you guys are wondering when the RP will start, I'm just waiting for everyone to create their characters. Once everyone is settled and ready, I will start the first post.

[Dirty Dan]

Sounds good!

[DrewVonAwesome]

Captain Arashi

Name: Hiroki Sakai - Captain Arashi




The front of the suit instead has Arashi Technology's logo on it, and the shoulders are Max Cola, and Games Factory Inc. Also while the helmet did come with the suit he doesn't wear it, instead opting just for the mask he was suppose to wear under it.



Age: 18

Gender: Male

Hero

Powers: Although right from the start Captain Arashi has super human strength of up too 10 tons, along with endurance and stamina to match. The truth mark of his powers is in the form of what Arashi refers to as 'Power 100'. Where for five minutes Captain Arashi's power increases by 100 times. Which on top of making him grow almost half a foot taller and much more muscular, gives him endurance and stamina increases as well.

Weapons: Aside from any weapons he just happens to use or make in the heat of battle, nothing but the fists at the end of his arms, and the feet at the end of his legs.

Personality: Hiroki is a kind enough soul, someone who does want to see Neo Tokyo be a good place to live in and clean of the filth that can hide in its little nooks and crannies. However his means to go about it are frankly disgusting for Hiroki. He never feels like a superhero, more just a meager puppet who happens to do good things when told usually. Although he is famous its only really Captain Arashi that's famous, Hiroki himself is just another face in the crowd, which for the time being his okay with.

Before everything happened Hiroki was actually quite into fitness, riding his bike, practicing free running casually. He had hopes of entering a competition like Ninja's Path (Aka Ninja Warrior for us). However because of his sudden powers he had to dash those dreams. He doesn't resent his father though for everything that happened, he just resents the people behind his father.

History: Growing up both Hiroki's mom and dad worked for Arashi Electronics. One of the top companies in the world of everyday gadgets like TVs, gaming systems, sound systems, and lots of other things. Despite where they worked though the family life was fairly small. The house was just out of the city and not too big. Which was fine for everyone involved. Hiroki went to school, where he excelled in sports like baseball and basketball, and would look after his younger brother Shinji until their parents got home. It wasn't anything special, but Hiroki was okay with it.

One night however Hiroki got to take a week long tour of a major university in downtown Neo Tokyo. As it was Junior year and the school wanted him to start figuring out where he would go after graduating. Hiroki one night decided out of boredom to take a stroll downtown. While he was out and about he saw some of the other students on the tour leaving Arashi Technology after getting a tour of the place and talking mightily about it to one another. Not realizing that a car was coming speeding towards them. Quickly Hiroki ran and leapt towards them to push them out of the way. Only for his body to violently slam into and get mangled by the metal. Hiroki couldn't move, was coughing blood, and felt lots of metal shrapnel lodged inside of him. His father, who was just getting off work and stopped by the now three car pile up that had occurred. Saw Hiroki and in a sudden bout of desperation grabbed him, picking Hiroki up as the young man lost consciousness.

When Hiroki came too he had found out his father used some of the company's new prototype medical equipment. Not only saving Hiroki's life but inadventantly making him stronger, and able to become even stronger at will. Hiroki was thrilled at the second chance. But quickly Arashi Technology sent lawyers at the family. Saying Hiroki's father used the equipment without consent and 'endangered the company's public image'. However they were willing to compromise. If Hiroki was willing to use his new found powers to fight crime in the city on behalf of the company. They would drop the lawsuit and even let his father keep his job. Hiroki accepted, at first thinking it was a win win situation. Only to quickly grow frustrated by the company's demands and constantly having him be in commercials, public autograph signings, and countless other things that have left Hiroki unable to even finish high school without having to drop out. The young man is now miserable, desperate for a way out without hurting his family or his own future.

Weakness: While Captain Arashi's strength during power 100 does grow to incredibly high rates he only has it for five minutes. After that he loses a lot of energy, and even strength and muscle mass compared to how he normally is, leaving him very vulnerable. He only really uses it then in desperate situations, or when his sponsors want him to do it to wow the onlookers. Otherwise while bullets from a normal hand gun only bruise him, he can get hurt from high caliber rounds.

Other: The person in the car who hit him was Ryo Miyaichi.

Captain Elastic

Name: Ryo Miyaichi – Captain Elastic


Still needs the glasses for his shortsightedness even after getting his powers.

\

Suit doesn't come with the two arm blade things or the helmet. The suit is comprised of a very elastic material that allows for complete freedom with Ryo's powers. The suit has a pair of deep red goggles which not only allow him to see with his prescriptions but have night and heat vision modes. Along with this he wears a black scarf which covers the lower half of his face and has a loose end which flutters in the winds (Wasn't his idea, he hates it). The entire suit has sensors and other things which all connect to a micro system in the suit. Which keep track of any movement Ryo makes, including stretches, moldings, or anything else. He simply keeps all the data to research it when he gets a chance. As he still wants to learn more about his powers. On top of all that Ryo keeps various small tools in his suit's numerous pockets.

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Hero

Powers: Able to stretch up too three miles long from fingertip to toe. He can also remold himself, suck in air to inflate himself, exhale to make himself stick thin or flat as paper, and numerous other feats.

Weapons: A few years of taekwondo training from his boyfriend Lee Yong, a longtime student and black belt in the discipline.

Personality: Ryo can be described as abrasive, sometimes cruel, and often times just simply an asshole with a seemingly perfected skill in dry stinging humor. However thats just more the outer layer of who Ryo is if your one of the few who has really gotten a chance to know him. Ryo has had a life of disappointments and failures, leaving him hardened and unable to just connect with people. However when he really opens up for someone he can show considerable kindness, and a willingness to be there for someone. However it takes a lot for him to open up to someone like that, so few have ever seen it. Such as Ryo's boyfriend Lee Yong and one of his few friends, Aya Miyama.

History: Ryo Miyaichi is considered one of Japan's brightest minds despite his youth. However growing up Ryo had a very troubled childhood. His father was abusive and his mother was all but submissive to his will. Ryo took a lot of punishment himself until finally he ran away at the age of seven. He went to Neo Tokyo where he began to showcase his genius in unusual ways. Being able to not only trick the system into getting an apartment to stay in, but using new small creations and their patents to help keep the money together so he could pay rent with ease. When his father found him, Ryo took his parents to court where he won independence from them. The last time he saw his father the man had to be restrained after Ryo spit in his face as he left the courtroom.

As Ryo graduated high school and college by 13 years old he met Aya, a young girl his age who was also running from a hard life. He welcomed her into his home and the two slowly began to become friends. Through Aya's determination to see what Ryo was really all about. Finally as Ryo began to do work with Arashi Technology for work in his preferred field of medical tech. Aya introduced him to Lee Yong, an aspiring professional fighter with skills in Taekwondo. While originally Ryo wanted nothing to do with the guy he saw as a meathead. Aya knew about Ryo's homosexuality from seeing his browser history and wanted him to be with someone. Eventually persistence and some great dates won Ryo over on Lee. The two becoming close as Ryo finally felt like he found peace in his life.

Then the night happened...

Ryo was growing very frustrated over dealing with Arashi Technology, and their constant attempts to take the patents of the technology he was creating right out from under him. Including the one for his greatest work. A nanite program which could help reconstruct a person's missing limbs. It was all after a particularly long night of working on the program when Ryo almost fell asleep at the wheel of his car. Driving towards a group of young students who were touring the building. Suddenly though noise, and so many other things caused Ryo to hit a young man who had saved the others, and through that caused his car to spin, and slam into oncoming traffic hard enough that his legs were sliced almost completely off.

Although the family of the man he hit never pressed charges, the idea of what he did put Ryo into a tailspin of depression. Until finally one night after drinking saki he got the idea to use the nanite program on himself. He did so, and despite Lee and Aya trying to stop him they were both amazed to find out it worked. Soon Ryo had fresh new legs, and seemed like brand new. However something wasn't right, quickly after the procedure Ryo became unnaturally flexible. Finally Ryo woke up one morning to find out his body had tangled and stretched all over his room, leaving the floor covered in his limbs. Fear quickly turned to curiosity, and Ryo discovered the nanites in regrowing his limbs also caused particular side effects which caused his body to become incredibly elastic like rubber. Originally Ryo had only planned to study the effects to fix the program. However both Lee and Aya once again stepped in, suggesting Ryo use his powers to fight crime. Ryo hated the idea at first, but once again their persistence paid off, as Ryo was given a suit, sent out into the world, and quickly realized he could mash studying his powers and getting some stress relief through bashing skulls in at the same time. Soon Captain Elastic was born, and no Ryo didn't come up with the name, and yes he does despise it.

Weakness: While incredibly stretchy Captain Elastic isn't really as strong as many of the other heroes out there. Meaning if his in a fight with a stronger person he can get captured and tangled up if his not careful. Also, while its only happened once before, if Captain Elastic stretches too far, his body can tear and possibly rip into pieces. Ryo however is too scared of testing that theory though.

Other: Completely regrets what his done with Hiroki being the person who hit him and not only almost cost him his life, but the fact Hiroki is, for lack of a better term, Arashi Technology's bitch now. He wants to set things right, but need the right time and chance to actually meet up with his fellow hero first.

I figured Arashi Technology can become a reoccurring place of problems for the heroes, ala Lexcorp or Oscorp. Plus the kind of professional fighting Lee Yong would want to be involved in I was picturing more as a Street Fighter/Tekken/King of Fighters kind of thing. Where people can throw fireballs with their chi and such.

[Lmpkio]

@DrewVonAwesome Nice! Indeed it can, as both profiles are accepted. Please put them in the characters tab.

[Ryu]

So, I was having trouble with my character and inspiration

Do you mind if I borrow Arashi Technology as an origin point for my character?

[Dirty Dan]

I'm a bit intimidated, honestly. Every character so far have been mechs!
This is lowkey Gundam, I'm tellin' ya! MADNESS

Edit: I'm kidding. Sorta. Still intimidated, but more giant men in robots = more stuff for Shen to deadpan at!

[Ryu]

I'm a bit intimidated, honestly. Every character so far have been mechs!
This is lowkey Gundam, I'm tellin' ya! MADNESS

@Dirty Dan

AS LONG AS WE DON'T HAVE REAL GUNDAMS, THE CITY SHOULD BE FINE.

[Lmpkio]

@Dirty Dan Don't worry lol. There will be much more unique heroes and villains along the way. Even I have a few characters that can be made.

[Dirty Dan]

Hopefully. I don't wanna be the only human, staring up at the giant robot men sky-wrestling, heh.

With that being said, I'm looking forward to this, so far. A bit curious on how you guys are going to fight regular crime, such as mugging and bank robberies, in your doohickies.
