Bio

Just a small, fragile birdboy with a huge beak. I used to be Manapool, but we don't talk about those days. I have been here a while if you couldn't tell.

In all honesty, I am 23 and in a committed relationship outside of roleplay. I work as a cook who works nights. I'm a big fan of seeing people's food they make and learning about new foods if you ever want to share. I enjoy tabletop games, card games, and video games as well as reading comics in my spare time. Your typical nerd, you might even find me at conventions!

Most of the time I stick to Superhero groups and Play by post D&D here. I have admittedly begun taking far fewer rps. I prefer Fantasy and Superheroes as a genre but can find myself interested in Sci-fi settings too! My main fandoms are Fallout, Marvel, and Souleater but I have a lot of niche interests like Hylics, Neopets, and Monster High. If you have a strange fandom you want to rp? I am the kind to at least take a look at the source material!

These days I am closer to a low to mid Casual roleplayer. I want at least a paragraph from replies and don't mind dipping lower than casual if it fits the flow better. I am capable of writing decent long posts but expect me to take eons to reply. I also must warn you that I tend to lose a lot of steam in the winter months.

This roleplay has been going on so long! I am so proud of you guys!
tropics
Dancing!
If only I could break the chain of disappointments
Weighing me down
Shake off the ghosts that whisper warnings
Whenever you're not around
I won't be afraid
Of all the things I've wanted
It's the fear, and not the ghost
That leaves me haunted

See what a life you lead:
You're an anchor for all the heaviest
Regrets inside of you
Escape; we collect mistakes
I will carry them home

Name: Chie Jordan
Hero Name: Shuriken
Known Alias':
Age: 18

Powers:
  • Peak human physicality: Training in martial arts since the moment she could stand, playing varsity sports and working out with her brother has made Chie an incredibly strong woman. She isn't super human by any regard but she can take much more of a beating than your average person, can run miles in minutes flat and can lift like a body builder. Compared to any enhanced person, she is relatively mundane, but against the average goon and gangster she far excels.
  • Inhuman accuracy/sight: Chie, like her mother before her, has eyes like a hawk. She can see in the dark fairly well, and can see farther than most people. This aids in her ability to hit things from far away accurately. With any gun, crossbow, or thrown item she can hit a 6 inch target from as far as 200 feet away. This isn't even adding the addition of scopes.


Equipment:
  • Throwing stars: Her namesake, weapons she got in a weapon store in Gotham to replicate her mother's old weapon. Hers are more streamline and generic, being 4-prong shurikens.
  • Extendable staff: Much like robin's own, a metallic staff that extends and collapses for convenience. It's not particularly sturdy, as it is hollow but it's hard enough to pack a wallop.
  • Taser: For more intense situations or when trying to incompacitate someone, a hand held market-strength taser is at her disposal. Since it's loud, she often tries not to resort to this item. It was given to her by her mother, as a means of protection on the streets of gotham.


Skills:

  • Acrobatics and parkour: Chie has long since learned to traverse the sprawling cityscape in it's entirely. Be it scaling walls, jumping building to building, riding rails, and all things in between. This applies to her fighting skills as well, capable of doing flips, splits, and all in-between.
  • Martial arts: Years if training, sparring and real life experience has turned Chie into a surprisingly dangerous teenager. She is capable of fighting hand to hand, with a variety of melee or throwing weapons, and has adopted a mixed style of Karate, kick boxing, wrestling and street techniques she has leaved over time. Chie's skills rival a professional fighter, because as a super hero; she is one!
  • Stealth and lockpicking: Picked up from her more rambunctious side of life, Chie is skilled in avoiding people's notice. Her mother taught her how to walk and jump silently, as well as how to quiet her breathing. Experience has taught her where to hide and how to trail some one inconspicuously. Chie learned to lock pick on her own and while not a master, the skill comes in handy.
  • Expert driver: Chie can drive motorcycles at high speeds expertly. It goes without mentioning this includes weaving around obstacles and doing dangerous jumps and other stunts. Her skills rival any dare devil or drag racer.

Appearance:




A short and stout woman, Chie has broad shoulders and an athletic build. Her hair is long, about to her shoulders, and jet black. Her skin is fair and her eyes are a dark brown.

Known Associates:


Known Adversaries:
  • Silvermane: SIlvermane is a dangerous crimelord because of his cybernetic enhancements. Capable of hacking computers, super human abilities and loads of gadgets, these two have crossed paths a few times as Silvermane prefers to deal with trouble makers personally. Both encounters Chie has narrowly escaped with her life. Now that she has help, though, she might have more of a chance against him. Silvermane is much less quiet about his actions than her other adversaries and while his gang is easy to catch, the fear of dealing with Silvermane himself is enough to make Chie give a second thought to busting any of his operations. Silvermane mostly deals in high tech items, trading or selling to collectors or other villainous figures of all sorts. This includes, but is not limited to, Lex Luther.
  • Eagle Claw: A mysterious member of the league of assassins who seems to have a vendetta for the shuriken persona. Eagle claw alludes that he knows Chie's alter ego and has a grudge with her mother. He is accompanied by the people he's trained and works with anyone who wants Shuriken dead. Eagle Claw is Chie's uncle, who was the archrival of her mother in her hayday.
  • Kingpin: These two have not yet had any direct encounters, as Kingpin is not grounded in Gotham. His criminal empire spans much of the new england and great lakes area, and so while she is a mild inconvenience to him, Kingpin is by far Chie's biggest villain she has her eyes set on. She is frequently dealing with his goons and sooner or later he's going to take a dangerous interest in this pesky girl putting a stop to his plans. Kingpin has one of the largest criminal empires in the states and so most crime leaders have affiliations with him in one way or another.

Bio: Kyoko, Chie's mother, was once an agent of S.H.E.I.L.D. and went on many missions through the eighties. When Loki and his army attacked, however, Kyoko was wounded and in critical condition by a frost giant. She recovered, but the event left Kyoko unable to fight. S.H.E.I.L.D. awarded her a purple heart and Kyoko was forced into an early retirement. She met a man and settled down in toronto where they raised two kids. As her kids grew up, Kyoko taught them the same martial arts she had learned throughout her life, as her kids seems to idolize her for being a hero.

Chie spent most of her childhood in Toronto as a relatively normal girl. She was sporty and close with her family, a good student and had plenty of friends. When her brother moved out, her father took a new job in Arkham city and the family moved. Chie resented her new home and her mother, fearful of having a beautiful young girl living on the streets of Gotham, Kyoko doubled down on Chie's training. Chie had a few encounters with local thugs and was surprised that her mother had taught her to capably handle them. Emboldened and angry at new living conditions, she took to the streets to save others who couldn't protect themselves like she could.

Overtime Chie's vigilante work expanded beyond beating up muggers and thugs and she started actively fighting the organized crime in the city. She adopted her mother's old persona as she owed her for teaching her everything she knows. Now, after meeting Nathaniel, Chie is hoping to advance her heroic life!
Don't look, I'll cry
The hero system I am more versed in is Champions. Even then, I am not sure I am playing it right?
Go for it. I don't have a specific posting order (yet)
Woof, that post was not a large as I expected
