Calling all Supers

@Kidd Cool! Want to create some background or do you want them teamed up for the first time?

Calling all Supers

@Kidd Would you be interested in making Cori Alexander's handler? No need to be nice to him. Since she hates supers she might enjoy bossing one around, making him do her bidding.

Calling all Supers

Someones powers are cancelling out powers! Ohhh, you..... Will have an interesting dynamic with my character on a personal level, I feel.

@ColouredCyan

Yeah I read your character sheet and was wondering how that would work if they met.

Calling all Supers

Alexander Simmons

Full Name: Alexander Simmons
“Can't we just live and let live?”



Basic information

Legal name: Alexander Simmons
Code name: Black Mercy
Date of Birth: April 1997, 20 years old
City, Province/State of current residence: Washington headquarters
Gender: Male
Social Class/Community Status: No money of his own. The government pretty much owns him
Family: 1 younger brother.
Alignment: Employed by the government against his will. They pay his expenses.
Powers and Weaknesses: Cancelling out other powers. So other powers don't work on him or within about 10 feet of him. Also, anyone within 20 feet of him won't be able to use their power.

This means that powers can't be used directly against him. However, if someone standing more than 20 feet away decides to use telekinetic power for example to swing something at him from more than 10 feet away, it will keep its momentum and continue going as the actual usage of the power happened outside his cancelation range. As for weakness, He doesn't know when he cancels something out, so it won't be like he can just point out supers. Also, he can't turn it on or off. It's just always on. So basically other supers can't use their powers to help him either.

Physical Description

Height: 5'6
Weight: 64 kg (140 lbs?)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Day-to-day Wardrobe: regular clothing (shirt, pants, jacket, boots), always dark colours, always long sleeves, never anything tight. He wears fingerless gloves and a thin, metal bracelet on his right wrist that seems to have no beginning or end.
Typical equipment: A taser gun and a set of knives

Personality/Attributes

Personality/Attitude: Introvert, distant, cynical. Alexander knows what's at stake if he fails in his assigned missions and will therefore go very far to achieve his goals. He will be as evil as he needs to be, but tries desperately not to cross the line of murder. He doesn't consider what his handler does after he nullified someone's power or what the government does after he helps them capture him his responsibility.
Skills/Talents:
Martial artist: Alexander has been trained in the arts of fighting since a young age. His parents were supers and they figured he would be as well. Therefore they felt he needed to be able to defend himself and taught him several different styles of combat. The government allowed him to continue his training for their own purposes.
Endurance: Due to his extensive combat training Alexander has quite some stamina. He was put through anti-torture training to learn to withstand pain for quite a while in case of capture, because no-one will come for him except to end him.
Big brother: Alexander's only loyalty is to his brother. What little time they have together he spends teaching him anything he knows, which is somewhere along high-school grade for most subjects. He also trains the boy, hoping one day he can get him away from the government before they decide to use the boy for the same purpose they're using him.
Favourites/Likes: His brother. Those moments of peace
Most Hated/Dislikes: His job, firearms, harming people
Goals/Ambitions: Staying alive and keeping his brother alive. Someday perhaps escaping the government
Fears: His greatest fear is that they will hurt his brother, which happens when he fails.
Education/Special Training: He was trained by the government for capturing supers that don't comply willingly. He has had combat training for this purpose. He knows how to handle several weapons, though he's not allowed firearms unless permission is specifically granted.
Place/Type of Residence: When he's not out on duty he has a room (cell) at the government's building
Occupation: Government agent against supers

PSA: Calling all Supers out of hiding

I'm interested if you're still accepting

Something Wicca this way comes

Rachel sighed. Clearly you weren't listening. "No, all it takes is not one nice meal." She answered, a little exasparated. "There is no 'all it takes'. You need to be in good shape. You need to be well-rested, well-fed, or you'll block up. You don't nees to be bloated, you'll block up. You need to be comfortable or you'll block up. You can try and try and try and never acchieve anything because you're not comfortable with the idea or because you're getting frustrated for failing. You need to..." She aighed.

"Look, magic is not a parlor trick. It's not something you can just do one day. If you want to practise it, do so at a time when you feel like you could easily run a couple of miles without being all out of breath. And if you get frustrated becauase you're not succeeding, stop and try again later when you're feeling better again."

Mom shook her head, looking at you sadly. "I knew the day would come that you'd want to leave. It's normal for kids to grow up and move out. But I just don't see why you can't move out around here. You're not just talking about moving away, you're talking about leaving the planet! How is that staying in touch?" She had tears in her eyes now. "I won't be able to come over for coffee, just to talk. I won't be able to hold you and comfort you when you get your heart broken. I won't be able to get to know the person you'll chose to spend the rest of your life with. Not really anyways, because I will only see him every now and then from a screen. And one day you'll get me some grandkids -not for a while, because I'm not old enough to be a grandma yet, but way, WAY in the future. You'll get me grandkids who look just like you and I won't be able to see them grow and develop.

"I don't want to lose you, Pria." She said almost desperately, tears pouring down her face. "I have loved seeing you grow and I want to be involved in your life, stay involved in it. I want to see how you develop into a young woman. I don't want you to come home one day and find we have nothing to talk about anymore because you've lived this whole other life I've never been part of."

Mom was doing her best not to sound angry as well as sad, but she clearly felt like you were abandoning her. Like you were saying 'thanks for everything, I'll leave now and give nothing back.'

Fantasy Space Quest

Well, if she didm't very much like her family in law, momcould be angry about him leaving. If she feels that Pria and herself should have had priority as his new family she could be angry. If she wants to stop Pria from going and she's despetate to do so she could pretend to be angry at him (emotional blackmail happens very often in these cases sadly), although I didn't picture her as doing that to that extreme from your description. I figured she would try a little, though. If Pria is all she has, it's natural to try and make her feel bad for leaving. Most of the time that kind of behaviour is done unconciously.

I was personally going for them getting pregnant not being planned and while her dad tried to do the right thing, he just found it too hard to have to settle down and lose his freedom like that. Whatever reason he would have to go off fighting a war, her mom saw it as an excuse to get away from a life he felt he was too young to have. In that case any excuse could do.

"'Do the whole belief thing?'" Rachel repeated your words. "Owen, you don't 'try to do the whole belief thing'. You either believe or you don't. And when you believe, you believe unconditionally or you fail. And you say you moved a mug. Sounds like a pretty decent 'hello' to me."

She looked at your plate and saw you were only nipping your food. "If you want to develop your power, you should start by taking better care of yourself. You look tired, you're not eating. Performing magic costs energy. You need to be well-fed and rested when you practise. Otherwise you'll fail for sure." Sensing your foul mood she added "I'm sorry, but that's just the way it works." Kind of a 'don't blame the messenger' type of comment.
