[OOC] Omega League

[Pumpkinlord]

@Stern Algorithm
Okay that gives me a better idea of her power and abilities. Yes, I think I will make at least one NPC per team. Pondering what I should do for the Assassins.

@ArenaSnow
No problem :) thanks.

[knighthawk]

Some character ideas I'm working on.

omega

Name:
Betsy(he lost a bet) Bluesun

Alias:
Bootstrap

Gender:
Male

Age:
40/200

Team:
Omega League

Powers:
His physiology is based off of a world with double the gravity of this realm, seeming to give him twice the strength someone of his size should have (capable of clean and pressing 800 lbs over his head)

He is an engineer in his realm capable of amazing feats of technology... But none of the tech he grew up with exists yet! Its like being Scotty from 2271 trapped in 1985, aside from inventing transparent aluminum, he has to sit on his arse and wait for events to occur to bring them to his level.

Physical Description:
4' and 200 lbs. He is half again as wide as most other earthlings. Because of their blue sun, he can see down into the ultraviolet spectrum.


Costume:
Power suit: his uniform that interfaces with his ride.

His ride, 16 feet tall and 16 tons. Capable of lifting 160 tons overhead. (freight train engine is 150 tons)
His suit once came with dozens of nifty items and gadgets for fighting back... but none of the power sources exist here, nor might they ever.

Items/Weapons:
With his power suit on, his strength doubles (capable of clean and pressing 1600 lbs. over his head). And reduces his own effect on the earths gravitation field giving the effect of superhuman jumping

In both his personal and the mecha. He uses a graviton gun, capable of temporarily raising or lowering an objects gravitational pull to a larger object(the earth).
Personality:
Insatiably inquisitive, he started reverse engineering alien tech and has kept on today trying to learn this times technology.
This inquisitive nature leads to the oposite of xenophobia to Xenohilia

Origin:
Genetically engineered with alien tech

Background history:
It's the year 3000-ish. All previous history has been wiped away in the wars.
Humanity was circling the drain, earth had about 100 years left before human life would be unable to sustain it.
Then the aliens came to finish off the job we started.
Now with a unified enemy, we fought back for the earth and the chance for somewhere new.
We won, but the solar system lost. The hive mother-ship flew into the sun, turning it blue.
The shift in Solar gravity and the gravity weapons of the enemy ships, had sped up earths rotation, much like the dinosaurs, survival depended on a smaller species.
Genetic engineering bred a new type of human to survive in this new world, but some decided this world was not worth living in.
They took one of their soldiers and sent him back into the past to prevent the alien invasion, but this created a temporal causality loop:
If he prevents the aliens from coming, then he will never be engineered to be sent back to the past. At best, he is playing on borrowed time. At worst, any engineered tech from what he leaves behind will be used to prevent the aliens from coming, tech that wont be available unless the aliens come, that wont be available if the aliens are repelled... This is bootstrap paradox.

When he arrived, it was in the middle of the last great battle of the Omega League, his tech helped turn the tide, but he had exhausted almost all of the resourced in that fight. He was made an honorary member, only for the league to disband. He's spent the last decade and a half both trying to get used to the limits of this time and prepare them for what is to come.

Brother

Name:
Juro Jacobson

Alias:
Squad

Gender:
Male

Age:
35

Team:
Faction of Brothers

Powers:
Juro creates an identical physical living duplicate of himself, possibly via extradimensional mass acquisition similar to the process used by Ant-Man or the Hulk. Although he can create multiple duplicates, and the duplicates themselves can also replicate, each is only able to create one duplicate at a time; he has been seen to produce around ten duplicates before no more would be created and then those ten can make ten more for 21 total. The duplicates think, feel, and act independently, though usually guided by the original. Each tends to manifest one aspect of Juro's personality, which increases in strength with lengthier separation from the original; these traits have recently become more extreme. Juro is telepathically and empathically linked to his duplicates, suffering severe trauma if one dies. Juro can "reabsorb" his duplicates, gaining their new knowledge and skills. Similarly, he will acquire any physical injury - though not any actual toxin - from a duplicate; symptoms are typically lessened by half during absorption. This means any time one of his selves would receive a life threatening wound, it is a risk to absorb himself if he could survive the trauma or not or weigh it versus the mental trauma of one of his selves dying while linked. If Juro himself were killed, it is not known whether any existing duplicates would continue to function independently; it is virtually impossible to distinguish the original from the duplicates.

Physical Description:

6'2" eyes of blue. He's covered in a massive amount of scars and has a tattoo of 13 stripes //// //// /// on his arm
Costume:


Items/Weapons:

His preferred weapon is his 5.56X45 bullpup with 40mm grenade launcher. A particular trick of his is to load the tube, replicate to his maximum number and give the opposition a 21 grenade salute.
While it looks high tech, it is nothing much more than an upgraded machine gun with a grenade attachment.

Eight inches of steel with a brutal hook.

A versatile gun capable of the 45 long colt, the 454 casull and the 410 shotgun without any adjustments. A reliable sidearm with no chance to leave behind any shell casings. He had the barrel replaced with Picatinny fittings.
Personality:
He used to be a red-white and blue american, but now his heart has gone black with they way people are treated. Vets who give their lives sleep in alleyways while billions are spent on military spending. Mutants who have no choice to their lives, who could change the world, are being treated like monsters.

Origin:
Mutant

Background history:
Third generation of marines or medics who became doctors. His great-grandfather was a Doctor in Germany who did not like what he saw coming so he came to America where he became an American citizen, joined he Army as a medic, and went back to Germany with an a platoon. After the war he settled down in he states and practiced medicine until the day he died. During veitnam, Juro's grandfather was a corpsman in the navy for his career until grandfathers passing where he took on the family practice. Juro's father was a marine in Desert Storm, the first and only one to die in duty.

He was raised by his mother and grandfather and joined the Navy at 17. He did his 4 years to become a corpsman in the navy with a lot of previous practice leading up. By 21 he still had not 'manifested' when he finished his first tour and reenlisted as a Marine like his dad did to be with a favored platoon.

He was on patrol with his naval tour friends when an IED went off. There was only so much he could do but three were dying, One's carotic was cut, another was lanced through the lung and the third was trapped under a tire. Three men needed his help and his mind was tearing himself apart trying to save any of them he wasn't saving any of them. He NEEDED an extra set of hands, he could see what he needed to do, he could see it perfectly how each person would be saved. What seemed like helacious hours was actually only a few minutes, One died but he saved two, and looked up to see six of himself.

In the first portion of his life, he had never experienced any true traumas, and even his first tour was 23 hours of boredom a day and treating heat exhaustion or self inflicted stupidity. Call him a late bloomer, but now his mutant gene went off and nothing could ever be the same. He knew how bad mutants got treated in the states, hunted, registered. families shamed and children disowned... he couldn't do that to his family, so he switched dogtags with one of his dead squadmates, and opened fire across the face, ruining the teeth to prevent dental recognition and burning the hands with the flaming tire.

He went AWOL, better to be thought dead then dishonored. A month of tracking across nothing and he came to an oasis that wasent on any map. There he met the plant manipulator who would change his life.

Zeta

Name:
He was buried as Richard Pluto

Alias:
Necron (Formerly Highlander)

Gender:
Male

Age:
855

Team:
Zeta Squad (Formerly Omega League)

Powers:
Necromancy- Self explanatory. The users can control and manipulate corpses and dead flesh to any degree. They can use dead flesh to act as replacements for severed limbs or hurl corpses at their opponents as a form of attacks.
Immortality- Necron is extremely hard to kill, since he is essentially already dead. Only the total disintegration of his body can permanently kill him. His limbs, if torn off, can be reattached or, in time, grow back. He does not feel pain and is immune to disease, poison, and radiation.
Photographic memory- he has perfect recollection of eight and a half centuries to fall back upon.
He was a skilled swordsman at one time, one of the best. But with his new 'life' he has not picked up a sword, yet.

Physical Description:

6' and 150-200 lbs depending on the day. His golden eyes still shine with vibrant life as his body rots all around him.

Costume:


Items/Weapons:
Relying more on his immortality than anything, he carries a single 1911 on his hip and his costume is completely fireproof, its not like asbestos is going to kill him now.

Personality:
What used to be a swashbucklers humor is now grim and gallowsgrin. He's plagued with bouts of doubt and rage and a suicidal desire to die he can not grant.

Origin:
Immortal (from the highlander show/movie)

Background history:
Lets start with how he died... He was the swashbuckler of the Omega league, their heart and moral compass. He was also utterly immortal unless another immortal cut off his head. Well, in the final fight, he was gilled by an immortal, but not decapitated. He had his head cut off by a helicopter blade, but the other immortal held his head on his shoulders as his heart was pulled out of his chest. Twisting, corrupting, ruining the ancient laws of the quickening.

Ten years later, he awoke, locked in the mermans labs as his body had been disected a thousand times trying to unlock his immortality. He managed to pull himself together, literally, but he wasn't the same. He'd gone mad with the corruption of the ritual and a decade screaming in his head to the nothingness.

Eventually, he stopped screaming and stared laughing.

Assassin

Name:
Zohar Al-Abu Al-Sa'id Al-Ahmed Al-Fahdlan Al-Abbas Al-Rashid Al-Hamad Al-Kabril Al-Sara Al-Zalazil
(Zohar of Zalazil)

Alias:
Genie

Gender:
Male pronoun

Age:
Over 1000 years old, but much of that spent in the bottle, Experience, 200 years serving masters.

Team:
The Assassins.

Powers:
Limited reality warping: He can only augment one person or thing, once, ever. Doing so can grant people ONE superpower by magically altering their DNA. He can 'create' up to 1000 lbs of materials in a single shape, this is done by 'borrowing' it from the surrounding area in a radiant burst from his location. He has no powers of divinations but he does have experience.

Immortal: His bottle is indestructible as long s he is alive, he is immortal as long as the bottle remains intact. If he takes too damage, he must return to his bottle. After 200 years, he has learned to take a lot of punishment before discorporating. If he and his bottle are both destroyed at the same time, he will be gone from the realm forever.

Physical Description:
Usually he manifests himself at 7 feet tall and wiry 200 lbs. But he can easily return to his bottle and reform himself into less 'obvious' forms, but he must return to re-manifest himself.


Costume:
As said before, he can manifest himself differently each time he emerges, but the form means nothing. His bare skin is just as resistant as a suit of medieval armor.

Items/Weapons:

His indestructible bottle which he uses like a mace with 200 years of experience swinging around.

Personality:
Honestly, he's not that bad of a guy, but reality warping slaves of power tend to get slapped on the short lists. Clearly he is subservient due to the genies curse, but he still has a will of his own. As one who sends a lifetime twisting wishes, he is a highly imaginative person who questions everything. Not necessarily evil or malicious, he simply tries to interpret the wish the best way possible, often questioning intent versus expectation.

Origin:
Magic

Background history:
A thousand years ago, he was the eunuch harem guard to a sultan. One day he was given a great treasure as a bribe to look the other way for merely a few minutes of pleasure. Well, things went poorly as they must, and the court wizard cursed him, eternally bound to his greed as a reminder to never lapse in his servitude ever again.

Now, as a djinn he is bound to grant one mortal one wish in their lifetime. Unfortunately his latest owner wished to know his full, true, name. Separate from granting the original curse, he was now bound into servitude by a different kind of magic.

@knighthawk
They look good so far,
How would one destroy the lamp or genie or both? Magic? look forward to seeing them when they are done.

[Pumpkinlord]

Posted a pic of the leader of the Zeta Squad, The Mad Merman. Also posted info about him under the picture.

Will try and get more IC posts in. Can't wait till we have players.

[Stern Algorithm]

I forgot to add that Interference can mimic voices and sounds as well as do ventriloquism. I also forgot to mention that not only can she produce sound and light from any part of her body, she can detect sound and light from any part of her body as well. So she could stick her finger around a corner and see around corners that way.

[knighthawk]

@knighthawk

@Pumpkinlord

Remember that he is under a curse from 1000 years ago, technology has made quite a few advancements in that time.
Honestly a sufficiently large magical attack like a fireball equivalent to a general purpose bomb would be enough to kill him if it was a surprise. Otherwise he would probably throw his lamp as far away from himself as he could to keep it intact.

[Pumpkinlord]

@knighthawk
Cool.
Should we post a recruitment thread in the intrest check area?

[ButterflyWoman]

I'll join this. I'll work on a character.

[Pumpkinlord]

@ButterflyWoman
Thanks cool

[Pumpkinlord]

@knighthawk
Your characters almost done? You going to do one for the Zetas as well? Just curious.

[RumikoOhara]

I've been following this for a couple of days now and like it so far and was wondering if I should submit a character

[Pumpkinlord]

@RumikoOhara
Yes please do. Thanks! :)

[ButterflyWoman]

Name: Rain Colhann

Alias: Chemical Girl

Identity: Secret

Gender: Female

Age: 25

Team: Omega League

Powers:
☆Insubstantial - She can become completely incorporeal passing through solid objects at will. She can stay in this state as long as she wishes or until forced out. She cannot effect the corporeal world while insubstantial and anything she is holding falls, except for any sort of clothing she is wearing. While insubstantial she is not effected by any corporeal damage like bullets, blades, energy and solid objects as they simply pass through her, but she is still affected by magic, Psionic powers, and sensory effects. She is by no means invisible in this form, she looks like a transparent "ghost" image of herself.
☆Fly - She can fly at a top speed of fifty miles per hour. She can fly in both corporeal and incorporeal forms.
☆Telekinesis - Chemical Girl can move objects with her mind. The weight limit for this power seems to max out at around four hundred pounds. She can use this power to move objects, launch objects with up to four hundred pounds of force behind it, pin down somthing or someone up to four hundred pounds. She can not manipulate objects with this power meaning she can't pick a lock, do the combination to a pad lock, flip book pages, spin a rubix cube, or tie a knot.
☆Mental Blast - She can use her telekinesis to form a blast of mental energy. This blast acts as a damaging attack as it can have up to four hundred pounds of force behind it. It can push or slide people/objects as well.

Weakness: She has no way too defend aginst magic, Psionic or psychic powers like mind control or Sensory effects like blinding flashes, sound deafening effects or things like vertigo. If hit with one of these types of powers or attacks she is at great risk of falling out of her insubstantial form.

Physical Description: Rain is a half Caucasian half japanese twenty five year old. She stands 5'6 and is skinny and fit. She has long straight black hair that falls to the center of her back. She has green eyes and is told that she is quite attractive. The picture of her costume shows some of her face.

Costume:

Chemical Girl

Chemical Girl also wears a basic black eye mask kind of like Robin, the character from batman.

Items/Weapons: Cell phone when in regular clothing.

Personality: Rain is a smart young woman with an outgoing personally. She is very quick witted with an up beat energy about her. She is accepting of almost any thing and very open minded.

Origin: Rain was one of the babies that was abducted by the Mad Merman twenty five years ago. She along with sevral other babies where taken from the hospital after birth. The Merman needed test subjects for his super syrums and babies had the right body chemistry to accept the syrum. It was less of a chance that the syrum would be rejected. The Merman, with the babies lined up individually in glass pods starts to inject each one with a diffrent varient of the syrum. The first babie glows as bright as a light bulb and then dissapates into thin air. The second babie melts right there on the table. The third babie grows a pair of gills but seems fine otherwise. The Merman starts jotting down notes on a tablet after each result. The fourth babie was Rain, after her injection she becomes insubstantial but survives the dosage.
Before the evil and twisted Mad Merman can finish his experiment, the original Omegas bust the door down stoping his vile plans and saving the surviving babies. Rain is reunited with her parents and grows up as any normal kid would. It Wasent until she hit puberty that her powers start to re surface. She learns how to use her powers slowly over time and eventually decides to become a lone superhero.

Background history: Rain grew up like any normal kid would in the year 2065. She was raised in Japan where her father works and loved her life and the Japanese culture, her mothers culture. She learned how to speak japanese from her mother and grandparents and made many friends. She went through grade school and middle school equivalent in Japan. She started manifesting her powers around age twelve, she dident understand them at first and often cried alone as she was to afraid to tell anyone about it. When she was fifteen years old her father, who was gaining power in the Japanese technology industry was assassinated by a dangerous and powerful Yakuza guild. Her devastated mother whisks her away to America where she will be safe from the demons of her family past.
She started high school in Omega city the following school year and was quick to fit in with the rest of the kids due to her ability to speak English as well as japanese, thanks to her father.
After high school Rain took a year off from school and devoted her self to mastering her powers. Over time she becomes confident with her abilities and tests them out on petty crooks. After great success in doing so she knows she is ready to confront her fathers killers. She buys a plane ticket back to Japan and hunts down the Yakuza gang that destroyed her family. She sneeks into the huge yacht that serves as the gangs hideout and finds her way to the bosses room. Once inside she attempts to crush him with her mental blast, the energy slams into the crime lords sleeping body sending the woman in bed with him flying to the ground screaming. The crime lord struggling to grab the pistol next to his desk flaps and flails as he is being crushed. His yakuza henchmen hear the commotion and run into the room to save there boss. One of the men sets off a deafening charge that is very painful to the ears, like a shrieking dog whistle for humans. Rain throws her hands over her ears in pain shifting back into her regular form. The henchmen whom all have special ear plugs are unaffected and one of them manages to shoot Rain in the left side with his pistol. In an act of sheer unconscious survivability she phases through the yacht floor into the water below and Flys to the shore where she lays for an hour before she is found by a pedestrian and brought to the emergency room. Her plan had failed and she paid the price, being a hero is not somthing that is fun or exciting. It is dangerous and you might die. She found that out the hard way.
Rain recovers and is sent back to Omega city in America where her mother is relieved to see her daughter alive. Rain makes up a story about hanging out with the wrong crowd and being at the wrong place at the wrong time to tell her mother.
She resumes her life in America going to school for criminal investigation and becoming some what of an amateur detective. A few years later she witnesses a group of villains who was led by the Mad Merman strike a bank killing innocent people in the process. She couldn't stand seeing criminals do as they please and decides to become a hero for good. She researches the Mad Merman and discovers that she was one of the babies taken all thos years ago and injected with the chemical syrum. This revelation proves that she is actually not a mutant, but gives her the perfect name for herself. Chemical Girl.

[Pumpkinlord]

@ButterflyWoman
So am I required to accept this since you are my wife? ... lol
I like it tho.
Accepted
______________

As you can see the team captain seat is open for every group. Feel free to put your name in the running for the team leader position.

[Stern Algorithm]

@ButterflyWoman Chemical girl could have a rival character, the baby who grew gills who shares the same origin as her, but after growing up and somehow discovering the origin of their gills, goes back to the Mad Merman as his 'child', literally believing they are a merperson.

@Pumpkinlord As for team captain, Eileen Fang is more of a 'lead from behind' kind of person, but I can have her take the position only if no one else wants it.

[knighthawk]

@knighthawk
Your characters almost done? You going to do one for the Zetas as well? Just curious.

@Pumpkinlord

Almost, and yes the only one left is the zeta.

[knighthawk]

THERE! I think I have one for each group, a lot of backup ans second string characters, but it should be interesting.

[malmshodes]

WIP

Pretty much done. I just need to think of some weaknesses to even him out.

Name: James(Jim) S. Martinez

Alias: The Black Pudding

Gender:Male

Age: 27

Team:Omega league

Powers

Green Magic-There's always an extremely faint green aura surrounding Jim. Its so dim most people can't see it but its there. He's not sure exactly how it works, but it seems to add some special property to his attacks which allow him to cause harm to things which normally means shouldn't be able to harm.

Gelatinous Body- Jim's body is actually made out of sentient slime.

Transform- Jim can alter the shape, density, hardness, and even color of his body.

Viscokinesis Jim can alter the Viscosity of his body.

Physical Damage Immunity- Due to Jim's body's lack of physical(ness(?)) he can't be harmed by physical and kinetic attacks, because all his body has to do is regroup to reform.

Absorb- Jim can absorb dead biological matter to replenish lost sludge or increase his strength. Though, the higher the amount of mass he possesses the greater the mental strain.

Remote Control- If enough sludge is together Jelly can control it remotely, but if there's not enough matter then all he can do is command said matter to regroup.

Sticky goo- Jim slime is very sticky and can be used to hold on to things and climb walls

Toxicity/ Poison Immunity- Jim's body is immune to all forms of poisons and toxins.

Self Sufficient- Since Jim is apparently fueled by magic he doesn't need food, water, or air, but he does get tired like a normal human being.

Seed- Jim can create a "seed" of himself. This "seed" is a small green sphere about the size of an apple which he copies all his memories into. Then, if the main mass dies the "seed" becomes active. Though it does not contain any of the memories after its conception.

Weaknesses

Strength Pound for pound the black pudding is nowhere near as strong as an average human being. For example at 100lbs of material he'd only be as strong as the average man would be at 50lbs

Temperature changes The Black Pudding is adversely affected by any change in temperature. Sudden drops cause him to slow down, or possibly freeze altogether and when the temperature suddenly increases his body starts evaporating like water under summer sun in a desert. Its no the actual temperature that causes him problems, its the change. Even a mild length gust of wind could slow him down noticeably and a few degrees rise in temperature would start making his body deteriorate. Other than that he can stand temperatures that a human being would normally be able to stand.

Green Aura The green aura doesn't actually increase The Black Pudding's attack power. What it does is it allows his attacks to defenses that aren't based on physical properties like a spiritual body, psychic shield, magic armor, etc, etc.
--Stealth is harder with the green aura around. Its glow also becomes stronger when he gets emotional.

Physical Description: Jim is about 6ft tall and mostly weighs 220 lbs with a wiry frame. His eyes are brown and his hair is mid length and curly.

Costume: Slime, usually black

Items/Weapons:Mostly Nothing really. Sometimes a book if he's in the middle of a good one. He doesn't even need to carry around clothes thanks to his body's ability to transform.

Personality: Thanks to his time in the ruins Jim is normally calm and laid back. It takes a lot to rile him up and even when he's angered, there's always a part of him that whispers about how damage wouldn't make anything better. He's very deliberate in his actions and doesn't like rushing into things unless he has absolutely no choice.

Origin: Jim's parents were adventurers who traveled the globe looking for anything they could be the first at doing, and they loved bringing Jim along on these trips, even when most watch groups would consider his inclusion as child endangerment. On one such occasion the young couple had gotten word that some ancient ruins could be hiding near the top of an unexplored mountain range. So they grabbed Jim and headed straight up into the mountains. It was a long, dangerous trip, and Jim almost died three times on the way up alone, but they found the ancient temple. They set up a camp and went to explore leaving Jim on his own. He managed to listen to them for an hour before the boredom got to him and he set off to wonder around. Turns out the ruins was a place of worship for an ancient god that went by the name of Oog Emlis. Jim never learned anything more about the god besides for the name and the curse, or blessing it put on him when he found its ancient alter and was transformed into a big pile of green glop that went all over the room.

Background history: For the first part of Jame's life was happy. He spent his days with wealthy parents who traveled around the world, looking at new things, and generally taking in the wonders of the world. The second part, after he was blown up by the God Oog Emlis wasn't as great. His parents couldn't him when they came back from their wondering and assumed he fell off a nearby cliff. That wasn't too bad but the fact that they only looked for twenty minutes before deciding to call it quits was like a kick in the nuts.

The next couple of months were spent wondering around the old ruins, trying to figure what was going on and how to undo it. Now, that might seem to indicate that the ruins were massive but really he couldn't move very fast at first. One day he got the hang of making something resembling a vocal cord and screamed. This wasn't a great idea since it caused a rock slide that destroyed the ruins and sent him plummeting to the frozen river underneath. He wasn't able to fight against the tide and ended up swept away into the ocean. It was all a blur until at one point he found himself some kind of sewage plant. He got out and found himself in the city.
