[gamer5910]

Later today @Mr_pink

[Weird Tales]

@gamer5910 is my cs accepted?

[Scarifar]

@Weird Tales It would really help if you, I don't know, put a link to your cs.

[Mr_pink]

Modified my app a small bit.

[Scarifar]

But seriously, you guys, put a link to your cs. It would really help the gm find your cs, rather than make him do the hard work finding it in this thread.

@Scarifar

it's on the first page.....that's not very hard to find

[Scarifar]

@Weird Tales It also makes your posts harder to miss when you put links up. You know, eye-catching to the gm. That way, no time is wasted, instead of you having to wait and put another post reminding the gm that they missed a post.

[gamer5910]

@Weird Tales yes you cs is accepted if I skipped over it is because I was on my phone and I might have scrolled over it on accident

[pockets]

@Mr_pink love the signature gif, in bruges, great movie.

Ok looking at some of these characters I am thinking my character idea might be a bit under powered overall but we'll see.

Name - Ryan Murphy

Alias - Singularity

Age - 28

Appearance -

Personality - Intelligent, hot headed, prone to jumping in without looking. He does try to observe a situation before diving in but frequently his temper or impatience will outpace his caution.

Gear (optional) - Two kuhkri kept sheathed in special scabbard sewn into the back of his jacket. Zippo lighter. Rolling tobacco. Antique pocket watch.

Power/ability - Ryan can manipulate gravity. Turn it off, change its directional orientation, increase our, decrease it, etc. By touching something he can negate an objects gravitational pull, allowing him to simulate super strength. He can also imitate abilities like flight, telekinesis or magnetokinesis.

Weakness - He's no stronger or tougher than a regular human. So if anything skips through his powers he's just as likely to get knocked out as the next guy. Hence he's constantly on alert and trains in martial arts and works out frequently.

Bio - Ryan was born in Dublin, Ireland and lived there until he was six when his parents emigrated to the states. He liked living in America and today enjoys a dual citizenship but he worked very hard to retain his accent. He learned early on that a lot of the girls he met liked his accent and in his high school years he used it to great effect, eventually landing him in some serious trouble with one of the cheerleaders football player boyfriend.

Half the team jumped him one day dragging him into the empty gym and when they started punching him he felt a pressure burst through his skin and the next thing he new everyone but himself was floating in the air, along with all the equipment within 30 feet of where he stood.

In a panic, he ran away, leaving them floating there. He didn't go home, afraid of what was going to happen. The next day he heard that the players had all fallen to the ground after he left but they identified him and police were looking for him for "attacking innocent students"

The next decade of his life was doesn't traveling from place to place, learning to use his abilities as best he could. Eventually he was contacted in regards to the new Young Justice, which brings us to today and the start of putting his abilities to good use.

Notes - Speaks with a thick Irish accent and has a tendency to sing random Irish folk songs, especially when he's been drinking.

@gamer5910

Thank you for accepting my character

[RainDash]

I'm interested. I'll put up a sheet later.

[Mr_pink]

@Mr_pink love the signature gif, in bruges, great movie.

@pockets

Thanks!

[Archmage MC]

What powerset would you prefer? SCP 682 Regen or Portals?

[Scarifar]

682 is quite powerful, although it really depends on what other powers and abilities your planned character will have.

Same with portals.

@Scarifar

Excellent, you understand Portals are extremely powerful. Most people see that and don't think much of it xD.

I'm trying to decide if I want the regen powerset to be Cartoon based or Realistic based. Both sets have the same powers give or take a couple and different weaknesses. Which one would you prefer? I'd personally prefer the Cartoon one, but i'm fine with either.

[Scarifar]

Whatever you want, man. It's your character, although the final product will be judged.

[RainDash]

"FEAR ME, oh hey is that chocolate?"

Name:
Cora Smithson

Alias:
Exile
Cor'Baath the Liar

Age:
16

Appearance:
Short blue hair and eyes, her eyes can turn red with use of her abilities. Cora is about five feet six, and looks thin and weak. She often prefers to wear blue for luck. She also wears a metal collar and a pair of metal braces on her face. Both can be triggered by her teammates should she go wild. The face plates are holy magics that are made to exorcise demons, and after their use they leave burns on her face.

Her superhero outfit is a black t-shirt and cargo pants with combat boots. She wears a blue jacket over both, for luck.

Personality:
Most of the time when she's not at work she's very calm and laid back. She might make a sarcastic comment or two to show that she's feeling good, but other than that she doesn't really telegraph her feelings. Most people automatically assume she's always angry because of her powers, but since she's received the amulet she's actually happy for the first time in a long time. She considers loyalty to others to be a priority, and tries to help whenever she can. However, without the amulet it's easy to tell that she's angry. Her transformations become more apparent and her irritability goes way up. She can be credited to the death of a thief who attempted to take her wallet once. She claims self defense, but knows that she lost control. Control is the second most important thing to her, and she works to make sure she never loses her temper or overreact to anything. She doesn't consider herself to be two people but one person with a very bad temper.

Gear:
Binding Amulet-
A simple amulet that allows Cora to keep her human form more easily. Crafted by the Justice League so that she may be a part of Young Justice. When worn, it makes her calmer and less angry.

Powers/Abilities:
Demonic Physiology-
Cora sheds parts of her human form to become her true self. She has rules about how much she transforms and how often she does it. Her hands, when transformed, have red scales and claws capable of cutting through steel. When Cora's arms are transformed, her strength effectively doubles and Cora becomes slightly more durable than before. If her legs are transformed, she becomes twice as fast and effectively doubles her reflexes. However, she doesn't transform both at once, nor does she use her 'real' form in combat. Despite being a young demon, she's very strong, even when not transformed. When not transformed at all, Cora is as strong as the strongest normal human. However, she needs to be transformed to take advantage of her form's abilities.

Demonic Understanding-
Cora knows how demons operate and has a fairly decent sense of dark magic and sorcery. She is capable of sensing spells not of a religious background, and interrupting them. However, being a young demon she can't really perform spells without a prepared ingredient on hand. Without any preparation any spell she attempts will fail. She doesn't need anything to break a spell that is considered 'unholy'. Dark magic stemming from the underworld is ineffective against her.

Quick Healing-
Small injuries ranging from a paper cut up to a broken bone heals twice as fast as a regular human's. However, when in demonic form she is unable to heal quickly.

Weakness:
Demonic Madness-
The more she transforms into her demonic form, the angrier and more out of control she gets. Conversely, as she gets angrier she becomes more demonic, thus she has to constantly be in control of her emotions. It is possible to bring her back after a full blown transformation, but that requires stunning her into unconsciousness first.

Gross, it's a church-
With the exception of cemeteries, Cora cannot walk on hallowed ground without permission from the person in charge of the hallowed ground. This is true for all religions and faiths. The exception is anywhere that is blessed by a ruler of the underworld.

Holy Magic-
Any magic considered holy and doesn't use life force for power can inflict great harm upon Cora. Exorcisms in particular work especially well, and can always render her unconscious.

Collared-
Because of her past actions, Cora wears a collar designed to inject tranquilizers should she get out of hand and face plates that activate an exorcism spell. The face plates are slightly painful at all times and she is subject to the leader of the team's and justice league's decisions as to whether or not she needs to be tranquilized or exorcised. The exorcism doesn't send her back to the Underworld, but does render her unconscious due to the pain.

Bio:
"I thought I was normal."

Cora grew up to a typical home, with typical parents. However, they were unaware that Cora was a demon until she was ten years old and broke the teacher's arm while he yelled at her. After a year of searching for help from the church, the only thing that Cora could stand to do was to run away from all that she'd ever known and attempt to understand what had happened to her. As the years rolled on her temper got worse and worse, until one day she killed someone. She'd just been trying to defend herself but the brutality of the crime resulted in a near complete transformation of Cora into Cor'Baath, the demon that had been banished to earth and forced to hold a semi-mortal form.

Cor'Baath had rejected torturing humans for fun and instead tried to help the ones unjustly accused into a better place. When discovered Cor'Baath was sent to earth in mortal form and without any memories of her work. Her punishment was exile to see how horrible human being can truly be. However, a riot during the exile ritual disrupted it and caused Cor'Baath to retain some demonic elements in her mortal form.

The conflict drove both Cora and Cor'Baath into madness and they began to break the law. It was petty at first, but quickly escalated as she got away with more and more crimes. As Cor'Baath, Cora was on the path to become a regular supervillian, often trying to destroy the world and steal from banks. It wasn't until Doctor Fate intervened and defeated her that the truth behind her transformations was revealed. Her plea to Doctor Fate to allow her to atone for what she'd done worked and she was provincially put on the Young Justice team.

Notes:
Forbidden to leave HQ. Too dangerous when exposed to the real world.
Loves Ghibli movies. Her favorite is Howl's Moving Castle.

[gamer5910]

@RainDash Just a question if she is forbidden to leave HQ does that mean she'd be like a trump card?

Also @Mr_pink, After I get these last two character's evaluated i'll start on the first IC post, and in the meantime i'll get my character's up.

[Mr_pink]

Great!

[RainDash]

@RainDash Just a question if she is forbidden to leave HQ does that mean she'd be like a trump card?

@gamer5910

Yeah, that and if she got out she might go on another rampage.
