New Rivière City: The End of an Era

I just tend to gravitate towards factionless characters. lol

@Mr Allen J

Ditto xD. Let the RP dictate where they go.

I made those changes I said I would. Should I do more?

New Rivière City: The End of an Era

Idea. Eventually have an XCOM kind of arc. That would be fun xD.

Also Allen, why not bring your char up to Ed levels of strength? IE, can lift 10 tons, but can't really throw it very far, IE, 10 tons is struggling. But anything under 3 you can run around with. xD

I dunno, up to you. Too much marvel has me scewed on powerlevel.

At least Marvel doesn't have Superman. God WTF is DC doing with him making him Superboy Prime levels or even higher now.

Lifting an entire house is a lot. Since a house (Even the smallest ones) weighs hundreds of tons... Even my character who is dedicated to strength can't do that much. And how will she do it without it falling apart?

<Snipped quote by Archmage MC>

But, here's the thing; she's not Deadpool.

You can have comic relief characters, but they still have to make sense. And who says everything's going to be dark? It's going to be a realistic story, but with plenty of humor. I'll be mostly contributing with Jess.

@Mr Allen J

1. Ah, ok. And a house the size of what Ed lifted was about 10 tons, being fully loaded and everything. But if your str. char can't even do that, then yeah thats way too much overkill xD. So 2 total work, injured over 1?

2. Oh, she'll be a wee bit silly, but more grounded. She wont be Deadpool random at all. I mean, I guess I can get the teleporter later on depending on tech paths or something. xD

New Rivière City: The End of an Era

<Snipped quote by Archmage MC>

Given her regeneration... maybe one ton should be enough. Though, you can mix both abilities together a bit more by saying that every time she uses her strength, she gets injured has to regenerate. Should be cool.

<Snipped quote by Archmage MC>

The thing is, you don't have to make a total emulation of Deadpool's abilities (Especially since 90% of what he does is a joke). The teleporter (and the satchel for that matter) seems tacked on to her power set (especially since you said she found it).

@Mr Allen J

1. I was thinking of her SS being able to lift a one story suburban house, IE be about as strong as Ed, from Ed, Edd, n Eddy. I like that idea, so if she goes 1 tons or over she gets injured a little. (Deadpool can lift 2 tons and doesn't have SS.) (Ed lifting the house watchcartoononline.com/ed-edd-n-eddy-s.. 5:32)

2. I can remove the satchel if ya want, no prob. Teleporter though, thats how Deadpool got his. (Admittedly it was from Cable.) So it mirrors pretty well. And she will be a bit silly to bring levity. Everyone being dark dark brooding dark isn't fun, need some Harley or Deadpool to balance things out.

New Rivière City: The End of an Era

@Archmage MC I'm on my phone, so I'll have to be brief;

1). You NEED to describe her whole power. The name of the power ain't gonna cut it.

2). Magic doesn't exist in the setting so I don't know where she got a vaguely defined "magic satchel."

3). You should also cut the satchel and the teleporter since neither make sense.

4). Is her appearance the result of her power, or....?

@Mr Allen J

1. Ok. They're just generic things that are on the Superpower wiki. What level of super strength is good?

2. Magic Satchel I'll explain what it really is. Basically its the trope name for an animation technique where the character pulls things out of nowhere as if they were carrying them all along, because lets face it. Imagine Doomguy actually lugging around all those guns, he'd look really weird. You might alternatively know it as Hammer Space. They obv can't pull out items that they aren't carrying. If you don't want it, its not such a big deal for her since she doesn't use weapons anyway.

3. Deadpool powerset, he has a teleporter and abuses the Magic Satchel thing like crazy. :P

4. Yep. Could say shes sorta axolotl based. I'll put that in.

New Rivière City: The End of an Era

Light

Basic Information

Name:

Light

Age:

24

Gender:

Female

Appearance:

Light is a 1.8m 54kg white humanoid figure. Her head is a large spherical shape with no nose, very large black and orange eyes(Demon lense type), short blue hair, fin like ears, and a very very skinny neck. She has a noticeable hourglass shape to her due to her hips and chest. She has skinny biceps with large forearms and hands with spike-like fingers. She wears a white dress with blue trim and a blue tanktop, the dress having an 'M' cut pattern in the front to reveal her legs, which look normal besides the bottom leg ending at a sharp point where her foot should be.

Skills/Talents:

Genre Savvy: While not an outright 4th wall breaker, Light is aware of the concept as well as the many, many genres that people tend to fall in. Makes finding weakpoints easy since they're usually very obvious anyway, although it also makes her a wee bit crazy.
Light is also fairly intelligent on her own, and while she isn't smart enough to do complex math or engineering or the like, she can at least grasp general complex concepts and advanced tactics.
Also decent at Hand to Hand fighting, even if she is a bit careless.

Brief Backstory:

While Light tries not to remember her childhood, it being not so great due to a combination of no parents and her strange appearance, she tends to air on the side of cheeriness and playfulness to keep herself busy. Learning the mercenary trade fairly early on, Light has busted up a few small organizations or cults from time to time on contracts. The only notable group she had been contracted to remove was a group of Neo Nazis, which is where she got her experimental teleporter, making her job much, MUCH easier, even if it didn't work as well as she'd like. Now having a bit of a vacation, or rather, finding a few methods that don't involve killing a couple dozen people every time, Light came to New Rivière City to see if she could possibly make a living off gambling or something.

Power Information

Power Class: Other/Enhancement (Axolotl)

Power:

Ultimate Regeneration: Light can regenerate from nearly any injury, including losing her head as well as being immune to disease and having a high threshold before poison/toxins/ext affect her. Additionally she can adapt to airless environments after awhile. Light can still feel pain and be knocked out/killed like normal, but wont stay dead long unless killed by very extreme conditions such as cosmic forces.
Super Strength: Light has Super Strength and can lift up to 2 tons.

Limits:

Regeneration takes awhile against very low damage attacks like paper cuts.
Super Strength is limited to 2 tons. Light takes injuries if she lifts more than 1 ton.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks:

Careless due to regeneration powers.
While difficult to put down for good, smart people could just trap her in a regeneration loop, and even smarter people could make it so it takes no effort on their end.
Regeneration is much slower if her head is cut off, although it can still be reattached or her body regrown if enough time passes.
Prefers Hand to Hand combat.
Just a WEE bit crazy...

Relationships

Family:

None/Orphan

Dynamics:
Basically your character's relationship with other characters.

• If you wanna use her for slapstick, go for it. Light is made for it.

New Rivière City: The End of an Era [Superhuman City/High Casual]

@Mr Allen J

What about my Deadpool Powerset with weapons swapped out for Super Strength?

New Rivière City: The End of an Era [Superhuman City/High Casual]

<Snipped quote by Archmage MC>

Depends on the power I can come up with weaknesses in it's place.

@Mr Allen J

TDLR imagine Deadpool powerset but more tame personality wise, with Super Strength instead of weapons.

Basically without it being under Toonforce's lampshade, there aren't as many weaknesses. Esp mental weaknesses that being a toon would cause.

New Rivière City: The End of an Era [Superhuman City/High Casual]

Hm... the character I wanna play, I can probably make her not have toonforce, but that'll drastically reduce the amount of weaknesses she has. yay powercreep.

New Rivière City: The End of an Era [Superhuman City/High Casual]

<Snipped quote by Archmage MC>

I am aware of the "Toonforce," but I'll unfortunately have to decline. I have seen the power around a few times and a living cartoon doesn't really fit the more realistic/serious tone of the RP - or the characters I'll be asking for. You can make a character that uses cartoons or whatever for inspiration, but the "Toonforce" stretches the setting and the logic a bit too much for me.

@Mr Allen J

So you don't want to see a toon-like character try to acclimate themselves to a more serious environment and all the potential plotthreads that could make? That makes me sad, esp with the RP's premace
