Just to let you all know, I showed this character to Shard and others on discord but I'm putting it up here to make it official for the RP:

Name
Doesn't remember.

Vigilante Name
Vermin Roach

Age
30 (?)

Species
Mutant

Gender
Male

Ethnicity
American

Nationality
American

Occupation
Information Broker

Alignment
True Neutral

Detailed Information

Appearance
Vermin Roach stands around 5'8". His weight is unknown but he looks slender. But in appearance, it can be hard to call on since he's always wearing long clothing to conceal himself. This usually includes a jacket with a hoodie attached to cover his head and most of his face and rest of his upper body. Usually wears either sweatpants or jeans. Sneakers. If he finds them, he even wears gloves of various kinds.

Personality
Whenever someone has the chance to actually talk to Vermin Roach, he sounds like he doesn't care. It's hard to pin down a persona on him but due to his occupation, he just cares about the business and nothing more if you should ask anyone else who's spoken to him before. He never insults or praises whoever he talks to but once in awhile, he may if his "client" seems either threating or nervous around him. But if there IS someone who goes after him or threatens his life, he will act intimidating and creepy.

Origin
Vermin Roach. In the criminal underworld to even government agencies, there isn't a soul that doesn't know that name. A man with perhaps a mysterious and even gross habits and power, many a common thug to even a higher up crimelord would even tell you to never cross this guy and keep it professional whenver he's involved in some business deal. Not because he's a fighter.

But because of his ability to get information from almost anywhere within city limits or wherever he is.

Other than being a Information Broker and mutant, not much is known of the personal history of Vermin Roach. Nobody even knows his real name or how he physically looks. Rumors, however, are always whispered where ever he goes. One says he's a walking mutant experiment gone wrong. Another says he was born what he is and was shunned by even his mutant parents. And yet another with the typical comic book plot device "thug in the wrong place at the wrong time".

And yet there's no denying that wherever he goes, choas usually follows. Villians, heores, vigilantes or whatever. It doesn't matter who or what you are. If you need information and you have the money, physical or electronic, or even something he desires, Vermin Roach will do his part and get the detailed information you need. From pin numbers and passwords to secret identities, he'll go to many lengths to satisfy his customer.

With complete disregard for the consequences...

Notable Relations
No one. As far as he's concerned, anyone is just a potential customer or possible threat.

Resources
Whatever he can get his hands on. Also whatever he can buy off the black market or "dark web" with his earnings.

Everyday Skills
Since he never stays in one place for too long, Vermin Roach knows how to adapt to any place he stays from a normal apartment to a hole in the wall if necessary and so long as it's indoors. He knows how to cook. And while he's no hacker, he knows his way around general PC usage so he'll know if he's being hacked or someone is watching his activities. He frequents the "dark web" for possible job requests as well.

Combat

Fighting Style
Vermin Roach isn't exactly what you call a fighter. He rather use blackmail and intimidation than actual physical combat. But that's only if someone goes looking for trouble on him. Other than that, he's known to be an untrained street fighter/knife fighter.

Strengths
Smart and clever. If possible, Vermin Roach always have a backup escape route in case someone corners him. He can quickly memorize a location and possible escape routes should the need arise. And because of his profession, he knows how to manipulate information to his advantage.

Weakness
The obvious. He's not a fighter of any kind. And while a mutant with the slight overal phyical mutations, a well-trained human can beat him. And though he knows when he's being hacked or observed electronic's wise, he can't stop it. He can arm himself with any weapon he buys from either the black market or the dark web but it'd be for self defense purposes only.

Equipment
As stated, anything that he finds or buys.

Power

Strength
It's this "gross" power that gained him the name Vermin Roach and the reputation to go with it and his position as information broker. He can control cockroaches. It's unknown how many but up to a range of 10 yards, he can control whole armies of them at once. He even grants them a nasty ability to drain a target of their natural energy should enough of them make skin contact to the point of physical exaustion of said target. Other times though, he just has them fly around and distract a target or even intimidate anyone trying to start trouble. After 10 yards though, he can only control one at a time. But the distance to control one is said to be city wide. He even can "look" from the roaches perspective: sight, smell, touch and even feel pain if they experience it. It's even said that, as a swarm, he can see all around him through his mind. It's because of this ability that allowed vermin roach to effectively do his job as information broker.

Weaknesses/Limitations
The obvious one as stated before is that he's no hand to hand fighter. If you manage to get past his "army", block his escape routes, blackmailing and intimidation factors and get him to fight, your odds of winning are good. His power can be disrupted too. Like a real roach, sudden bright lights turning on can makes them all scatter. Heck, enough firepower can stop his army too. Himself included and he'll run fast. He also need low-lighted settings because of this. Sewer systems, abandoned buildings with no light and only going out at night shows how much he avoids bright areas due to sensitive eye sight. He doesn't know yet but Vermin Roach also believes that any mutant or special device that can block mind reading or TK based powers can also stop his control over roaches but he's yet to test that theory. And when he's only controlling one roach at a time past 10 yards and beyond, he can feel it's pain too as stated. If that roach is killed and he doesn't break the mind link soon enough, he'll either feel agonizing pain or knocked out for a bit.

Extra
Vermin Roach, because of his occupation and abilites, has also made some powerful enemies. One of which is MSU. It's said that due to his powers and personality, MSU has declared him a "danger to national security" and has a rumored bounty on his head.
"K Nine" and "Setsuka"
Festival Grounds
Interactions: N/A


It wasn't long before another report came over the radio. This time though, the eyewitness accounts suggested that this might have involved a mutant. Though the incident was minor, the mob of people it had involved was cause for concern.

So after Setsuka heard it, she put her hand on her earpiece then said, "Lieutenant. We just heard. Were going to the site of the incident and conduct an investigation. Suspect maybe mutant."

"Understood", came the reply.

"K Nine here. Any word on our senior sir?"

"Nothing yet."

"Then we'll do this ourselves. Once we reach the area of the incident, we'll do our own patrol and keep an eye out for the suspect. Though we apologize if people at the festival get uncomfortable seeing M.S.U. members present", K Nine then said.

"Not a problem. In this case, I'm starting to understand why you may have been sent here to begin with. Keep us in the loop all the same."

"Yes sir", K Nine responded.

K Nine then put his Glock 22 into it's side hostler and slung the MP5 to his back with an attached strap. Setsuka did the same with hers and her Remington Semi-Auto. Taking a flashbang, both then departed from the SWAT van and headed into the festival grounds.

"...so what's our I.D.?", K Nine then asked as they walked.

"Based on witness accounts...a little girl with wings and matching white dress and cap. Dress has a red vest and red tie on her front. Red band and hankerchief on the cap. Back stockings and white shoes. Possible power is super speed but that's pending", Setsuka responded.

"Child mutant?...great...now we just hope she doesn't throw some tantrum", K Nine then said.

"Just be gentle if that is the case, K Nine", Setsuka responded.

"...woof...", K Nine simply said which made Setsuka shake her head slightly.
@DarkRecon, I enjoy how you integrated Booke a bit into your post :3

Are you in the group Discord, by the way?


Actually no but I do have a discord account. Can you or someone else link me please?
"K Nine" and "Setsuka"
Festival Grounds
Interactions: N/A


Near the edge of the park entrance, there were a few police cars. Obvious since there were security at such an event. Even more so since mutants were involved with the festival.

But perhaps one vehicle that stood out near a police car was a SWAT van. Or perhaps not since it may show how over-prepared law enforcement were in case something went wrong. After all, depending, mutants or even normal humans could see this festival as another form of opportunity.

Yet...the two individuals IN the said van weren't exactly SWAT.

A police officer, a lieutenant based on the rank printed on the arm sleeve of his uniform, was standing near the back just keeping an eye on things from his position. He briefly took glances at the open doors behind the SWAT van to watch the two individuals doing some prep work inside. One, a male young teen he had guessed, was checking what looked like a pistol. A Glock 22 from the looks of it along with a combat knife. He also had what looked like an MP5 sub machine gun near him as he sat and checked them over. On his opposite side, also a young teen but female, was typing away on a laptop while holding her finger to the side of her ear as if listening in on radio chatter. Near her was a sniper rifle of some sort. A Remington semi-auto by the looks of it. And near her was also another MP5. The rest of the van also had some typical gear common for SWAT like flashbang grenades, a riot shield, body armor, radio headsets, etc.

But one thing that struck him as odd was the fact that both were fully dressed in SWAT-like gear so he couldn't even see the physical features of either. However, on certain parts of the clothing and armor were three letters that even the lieutenant knew all too well.

M.S.U. or Mutant Suppression Unit.

Even the lieutenant had heard the rumors about the supposed organization. Most of it being an all-mutant outfit similar to that of the FBI that actually hunts down rogue or dangerous mutants that normal law enforcements can't handle. That they're also ruthless, usually killing said mutant targets as the go-to order. Weather that was true or not, even he didn't knew since any operations the MSU did was usually kept under wraps even for those above his rank according to what his police chief had told him once.

But after briefly talking to the two "SWAT" like members of the MSU here called "K Nine" and "Setsuka", he just had a hard time believing the ruthless part. Both knew their stuff and were very cooperative with all the other police officers around here. Even those who said that they could just hang out near the van till the main attraction of the festival showed up.

Honestly, he also just wanted to tell the two to just go home or at least go enjoy the festival.

It was rude, sure, but it wasn't because he hated mutants. He just felt that their presence here was...over excessive. Did M.S.U. really cared about some random festival? Sure, there are mutants here too but...well he just felt that some nut job with a bomb wasn't going to try something with several mutants here would could more than defend themselves should the need arise.

But then again, it was a dangerous world out there. Even more so with mutants.

He then got a call on his radio about an incident. After an officer explained to him what had happened, the female inside the van addressed him.

"Lieutenant. I just heard the radio chatter. Do you want us to investigate?", the one called Setsuka asked.

"That's alright. From the sound of it, just another homeless thief looking for his next meal. The officer said the lady had everything in her possession. It seems the thief was only after her food. Still...we've been having a rash of similar incidents like this lately", the lieutenant responded.

"Understood sir. Just let us know if you need us", the one called "K Nine" then said.

The lieutenant simply nodded at that. K Nine then asked, "By the way sir. Has our senior shown up or asked about us yet?"

"Oh you mean that M.S.U. Investigations Officer? No I haven't heard from him. But like I said before, if any of the other officers find him or ask them about you, they'll call it in."

Both nodded to him and he returned the nod as he walked away from the van. Still, it just blew his mind on how young both sounded.

...they're just kids...even if they are mutants and in their teen years it seems...what made them both do such dangerous work?, the lieutenant thought as he decided to walk on his usual patrol.


Origin/Bio are still work in progress :)
Also Personality section will be edited more.


This should be interesting for my two characters ^_^. Also, when I started reading this, looks wise, I was expecting your character to look more like valkenhayn from the blazeblue fighting game series and he's a werewolf/lycan too
@Lotrix Molick

Just a heads up to you about your character. In the character tab area, the picture of your plant lady in her vigilantie uniform is broken or something is wrong with the link. When you get a chance, you might want to fix it ^_^






@CAWs For Alarm You can fly Twinkle into the character bin.

@DarkRecon You're good to go with the werewolf character. Looking forward to what he comes up with, with little bro' Maksim.

However, the second character has too many abilities and magic isn't up for discussion in the world, especially from MSU agents. It doesn't exist, (I am aware that it isn't actually magic). You put a lot of work into the character, but I am afraid I can't accept someone with that range of abilities, both elemental and healing. I stated that you could have one mutation with other abilities/passive abilities directly related to that one ability. Ice, lightning, fire, and healing doesn't work, I'm afraid.

@Archmage MC You're good to go.


Yeah I figured about that with Setsuka now that I look back on your rules. Sorry about that.. I modded the profile. Here's the new one and thank you for approving K Nine ^_^:

Personality

Resources
MSU funding and/or any "jobs" she's assigned to.

Everyday Skills
-Classified-

Combat

Fighting style
Aikido. A japanese martial art that Yoichi studied first and foremost. Yoichi mainly studied it since she tries to avoid using serious lethal force on her opponent should she go hand-to-hand with such individuals. Basically, she knows how to step in, turn to avoid attack and turn her opponents momentum against them using throws and joint locks. But if she has no choice but to get lethal, she's also familiar with various long range sniper rifles and smg's.

Strengths
A natural born leader and tatician, Yoichi usually is called upon to lead a squad should the need arise. Otherwise, she's usually long range support either with weapons, gadgets, her laptop, etc. She also knows her way around PC's so hacking is another ability of hers.

Weakness
Even though Yoichi knows Aikido and SMG usage as a weapon, close range combat can be a problem for her depending on who her opponent is. In a world with mutant superpowers and since Yoichi doesn't have superpowered endurance, speed and strength, such opponents may give her trouble if they get close enough to her or if they know superior fighting styles. She's more brains than brawn. Plus, she sort of over relies on her gadgets sometimes if she's fighting a mutant.

Equipment
Pretty much anything MSU assigns to her based on the mission or wherever they send her but she also always has a laptop with her.

Power

Strengths
Though classified, Yoichi has a healing factor. A rather well-known mutant trait since she isn't the only mutant in the world that has the ability. Any injury she suffers can quickly heal itself depending on how server the injury. Minor injuries like cuts and bruises may need only seconds or a minute to fully heal. Major injuries though, like broken bones, may need anywhere to an hour or more to fully heal. She can even regrow limbs if they are cut from her body but THAT process would require a whole day to repair. Plus said limb would need more time to restore it's orginal muscle mass before the cut. The process is quicker if Yoichi stops and rests to allow her body to catch up and focus more on the process.

Weaknesses/Limitations
As Yoichi herself knows, just because you have a healing factor doesn't mean your invincible. A headshot with a bullet or piercing her heart can still put her down like any normal person. Even though she has a mutant healing factor, she doesn't have the super strength, speed and endurance of one. She's still human in those areas. The healing factor can also be a very painful process depending on the injury. The pain from repairing a major injury or a lost body part can keep her from even moving or focusing properly during a fight. It can even be overtaxed if consistent damage or a powerful attack hits her hard enough to stop it. If she's exausted, it won't even work at all so time, rest and energy is also needed in some extreme cases.

Extra
As shown above, alot about Yoichi aka Setsuka is sealed and classified due to the measures MSU puts on it's agents, soldiers and members. For those well-informed on MSU though, there are rumors that float around some of it's members. For Yoichi, there is one. It's said that she's apart of a branch in Japan that MSU has a hand in. There is a facility there that also trains mutants to work in ways the MSU does. While it's unknown if MSU owns that branch, it seems they have a partnership with a group similar to them there at least. It's said that because of her skill set, she was requested to come to America to be a support member for the others at MSU. Other than that, nothing much is known of her personal history.
OK I made a backstory but its not very long. Gotta feel this character out a bit RP wise before I can flesh her out more.


Thats kinda what I was going to do with my two characters should they get accepted. For some, a mysterious backstory revealed during the RP works but it's up to the host.
And here's my second character. Again, it may need revision so let me know if there's any problems with this one too.

Combat

Fighting style
Aikido. A japanese martial art that Yoichi studied first and foremost. Yoichi mainly studied it since she tries to avoid using serious lethal force on her opponent should she go hand-to-hand with such individuals. Basically, she knows how to step in, turn to avoid attack and turn her opponents momentum against them using throws and joint locks. But if she has no choice but to get lethal, she's also familiar with various long range sniper rifles and smg's.

Strengths
A natural born leader and tatician, Yoichi usually is called upon to lead a squad should the need arise. Otherwise, she's usually long range support either with weapons or her unique powers.

Weakness
Even though Yoichi knows Aikido and SMG usage as a weapon, close range combat can a problem for her depending on who her opponent is. In a world with mutant superpowers and since Yoichi doesn't have superpowered endurance, speed and strength, such opponents may give her trouble if they get close enough to her or if they know superior fighting styles. She's more brains than brawn.

Equipment
Pretty much anything MSU assigns to her based on the mission or wherever they send her but she also always has a laptop with her.

Power

Strengths
Though classified, Yoichi has a very...unique power. She can use a "spellbook" to summon fireballs, iciles and electricity from her hands for long range attacks and even use some healing on herself or others around her. What's never fully understood is if this is a mutant power or legit "magic". Yoichi even says that she's also trying to learn new "spells" as well. MSU has classified the answer if Yoichi is a mutant or some sort of "mage" or "wizard" but even amonst MSU members, it's always a popular topic for debate. She can even control the fire, ice or electricity into ball shaped projectiles around her as if she's using her mind or some form of kinektic power.

Weaknesses/Limitations
Yoichi actually mumbles some gibbish some of the time when she summons her element of choice around her. It's also one of several reasons why some think she's using legit magic but some think it's just an act or a way for her to focus her energy into the attack. So it is possible to hear the attack in general getting set up when she mumbles something you don't understand. Plus her "spells" are limited to those three elements and healing. Not alot of variety at the moment with her powers. Plus, while she can surround herself with her projectiles and control them, she can't put them very far ahead before they harmlessly drop to the ground. When she launches them away or pushes them too far from her, she's no longer in control of them. As stated, she's more long range support than close range despite knowing Akido.

Extra
As shown above, alot about Yoichi aka Setsuka is sealed and classified due to the measures MSU puts on it's agents, soldiers and members. For those well-informed on MSU though, there are rumors that float around some of it's members. For Yoichi, there are several. One story is that she's a decendant of a group of "shrine maidens" that once battled demons in ancient japan. Hence her ability to use her abilities. Another is that she's the daughter to mutant parents who both had pyro, cyro and electro based kinesis and healing factors. Yet another says that a branch in Japan was breeding and training "mages" to help keep mutants in check. It's unclear though what's fact and what's fiction with Yoichi at the moment.
