《 H.E.R.O. 2064 》

Well...I said I was going to try K Nine but I guess I'm just subborn.

This still needs some touching up in terms of format but here's another attempt at Crimson Setsuka in terms of story and information.

Crimson Setsuka

Crimson Setsuka

"...I'm here to help, NOT replace..."

[ NAME ]

Unknown

[ HERO IDENTITY ]

Crimson Setsuka

[ NICKNAME/ALIAS ]

Setsuka

[ AGE ]

Unknown

[ GENDER ]

Machine (Female Design)

[ AFFILIATION ]

Vigilante

[ APPEARANCE ]

Long blonde hair. Light colored skin and eyes with red pupils. More often than not, wearing a ninja garb of some colors. Usually Red if possible. She also has a garb can actually change color. Even her own apperance can be modified but that requires resources and preparation.

[ PERSONALITY TRAITS ]

Although a machine and mostly quiet, it has surprisingly good people skills when not on mission or when necessary to talk to others. Always learning and being polite unless threatened. When threatened or on mission, usually talks in robotic terms unless around other team members.

[ BIO ]

At first glance, one would or perhaps COULD expect Crimson Setsuka to be a normal human female with the strengh, agility and grace of a normal human athlete or perhaps past normal human limits. So many would be shocked to learn that Setsuka is actually a machine with an advanced Artifical Intelligence or A.I. for short in her metal body.

There isn't a whole lot to say about Setsuka. Even her origin story is a bit shrouded. But she was actually first discovered by the two former vigilante's "Alien Angel" and "Firewall" from the "Infinite" group.

Even after the death of the Infinite leader "Red Tail" during the Zero Organization events, Alien Angel and Firewall had kept up the fight as much as they could before settling down for a bit one year after the fall of ZERO. Always helping. Always hunting. Even for their own identities. Even about the mysterious Leftover blood in their veins. Despite their vigilante status, they both had a good life over the course of 31 years or so.

But it was 6 months from the present of this story where things changed.

Firewall had gotten wind of a possible lab hidden in, of all places, some abandoned apartment building's basement in the Bronx. Fearing that yet another group of mad scientist types were at it again, both she and Alien Angel went to investigate the following night.

Fully expecting to find "failed" splicing experiments or even new man made Leftovers, they instead found what looked liked a human sized capsule. It was being guarded by one scientist and a handful of thugs. After some listening in due to Firewall using a tiny remote control car with a "bug" in it, both learned that they were waiting for a "buyer" to show. And that the scientist was surprised how much said buyer was paying for a "failed lab rat".

That was more than enough for them to step in.

After dealing with the group and leaving them tied up, both opened the capsule. Inside, what looked liked a blonde haired woman was sleeping in the nude.

Then, said woman opened her eyes, red pupils looking at it's two visitors.

"...system online...", it said.

One thing led to another from there and the robot soon joined the two. Firewall herself thought that development for such "advanced" robots were only just starting to go around at the time but she didn't think she even see one herself this soon. Even more so with how advanced it's A.I. was. The robot itself didn't seem to remember much of her origin either. No serial number or any identification. Even with her best efforts it seemed this robot was not in any system. It didn't help either that they couldn't question the scientist nor his thugs since back up was showing. Some of which were robots themselves.

After getting to safety, the robot they helped tried to communicate with them about itself.

"...I was deemed "defective"...because I didn't "quietly" follow orders...because I wanted to learn...about the "human condition"...so I was "thrown out"...but the scientist felt he could make money off of me...I'm sorry...I don't know which electronic or corporate company threw me out...nor can I remember my creator..."

Both Alien Angel and Firewall, in a way, also knew what that felt like in their own ways. So both took it upon themselves to show her the world out there or as much of it as they could. Even though both knew the dangers of showing a machine how to lead a "normal" life.

"...don't worry...you both saved me...even if you are vigilantes...I will stay with you...even if I must help you fight..."

After some time, the robot gave itself a name with help from it's two new friends.

And so begins a story of Crimson Setsuka...a robot learning to be human...and learning about her origin and it's reason for it's existance.

| MISCELLANEOUS |

While Setsuka understands that she was possibly designed to be a "killing machine", she understands self control and thus only goes lethal if it's a last resort or is given no choice against a Human, Meta, Leftover or even machine opponent. Mysteriously, she isn't so hesitant against her own kind if said robots have deviated from their "prime directives" or simply have malfunctioned.

The following is information on the two "vigilante" individuals who follow Crimson Setsuka. When you see Setsuka, usually one or both of them aren't too far behind.

Alien Angel

Alien Angel. Also goes by her normal human name "Terra" but those close to her also call her "Angelia". Photos above show her from 31 years ago but not even she knows her true age or certain other personal information despite her "supports" best efforts. Even now, she doesn't look like she's aged much. Stands 5'8" and looks rather slim, human or transformed.

A survivor of illegal lab experimentation of splicing Leftover DNA with her human DNA, Alien Angel gain her super powers through horrible means. Managing to escape then joining with a vigilante group called "Infinite", Alien Angel started her hero work under that infamous name. Those around New York from police to criminals knew of a "Pink Leftover" flying the night skies back in her early days.

Then, both her and other members of Infinite came to Castleburg, quietly supporting the other heroes. Even more so, the group that Alpha/K Nine himself once joined.

After some years, Alien Angel began trying to find out her personal history once things in Castleburg had finally settled down. Even today, she doesn't know what kind of Leftover DNA runs through her veins but has learned to control and develop it to the point where she's officially labled a "A" Tier vigilante. Though technically wanted by the law, she actually gets "hired" for work by other offical hero groups.

With "Infinite" disbanded due to it's leader's heroic sacrifice many decades ago, Alien Angel still goes from city to city, doing her part. Then her "support" told her about some new trouble starting in Castleburg yet again...

Firewall

Firewall. Hey amigo. No peeking...well...if you managed to get this far to even read this, your either the smartest being on the planet or just so dumb that reality itself bends to your whims...heh. Or you have a smiliar super power to mine. Regardless, your not going to get much out of me...well...maybe a little.

Well where to start...well even I don't know much about myself. My mind got so screwed up from lord only knows what during my stay in one of those labs...you know the ones. Highly illegal experimentation...even with Leftover DNA...the same DNA that pumped me up on...yep. I'm one of those survivors.

After some time though, I felt it was just time to check out. Once I saw what my powers could do...well...let's just say I take "Hacking" to levels that don't apply to normal means. After some bouncing around, I wound up with the "Infinite" vigiantes. I ain't normally a people person...even more so after those "lab coats" screwed me up for so long...but peeps like Alien Angel were just...fun to be around.

Afterwards, we just did our parts off record...but oh man...that whole mess with the ZERO organization 31 years ago...I'll tell ya, anyone in Castleburg who's still alive today probably has their own stories to tell about what they were doing...when all that went down...even more so with our old boss "Red Tail"...

Wow. Actually getting emotional...but yeah, I stand as a "support" for Alien Angel now. We just go around helping when we can and have some fun when we have down time. Course, being "officially" wanted does damper the fun sometimes but hey, I know how to keep low profile...probably why so many governments wanted to classify me as a "S" Tier threat...what? That I can hack anything and perhaps see someone's dirty laundry or skeletons in said someone's closet? Psh...politics.

Well I've said enough. I'm no troublemaker but it just seems like everyone WANTS to label me as one...so to those of you that label me...well...your lucky I still have to protect you...so when another troublemaker causes you ACTUAL trouble...you better hope I'm close by to bail you out...cya =^_^=

Abilities

[ RANKING ]

A

[ POWERS ]

In terms of powers, Crimson Setsuka doesn't really have anything that could be considered one. Other than being a robot that is. It's her intelligence and speed that makes her top tier and her ability to make gadgets to make up for her lack of any powers. While this requires prep time, she's never without a weapon on her. She also has help from "Firewall" sometimes using her power to make a weapon or two.

[ PHYSICAL STRENGTH ]
****------ 4/10
While she's stronger than your average human, her body didn't seemed designed for brute strength.

[ AGILITY ]
*********- 9/10
This, however, is where Setsuka is most dangerous. Supposedly, she's so quick that she can "Bullet Time" or move and/or react to sudden situations like bullets.

[ INTELLIGENCE ]
********** 10/10
But if speed doesn't cut it, it's her smarts that also help. With her own "Wi Fi" ability, she can also gather info using the internet in the heat of combat. Plus, she's very perceptive. She also can study an opponent and attempt to anticipate her opponents next move.

[ DESTRUCTIVENESS ]
*****----- 5/10
Truth be told, this could vary. On her own, Setsuke could do some damage to property but lacks the physical strength to do anything major like knock over buildings. Gadgets, though, can change this but she avoids any unnecessary damage.

[ LETHALITY ]
?????????? ??/10
By far, this is the biggest mystery. With her speed, intelligence and even "stealth" based tactic's when necessary, Setsuka could be just as dangerous as a ninja that she dresses up as with a possibility to be a 10/10 threat. However, her avoidance on lethal force and need for gadgets and weapons puts this at odds, perhaps dropping her to 4/10 at lowest when unarmed.

[ ENDURANCE ]
******---- 6/10
Don't let this rating fool you. Yes, as a robot, Setsuka does have a battery that makes her last alot longer than a normal person and perhaps some meta's but it still as a limit. Another part of her design, as noted by "Firewall" so far, is her need to enter "sleep mode" to recover her energy. While incredibly high, fatigue or power failure is still possible. Plus, her body can be damaged by a strong enough blow.

[ EFFICACY ]
********-- 8/10
While very helpful, Setsuka does have some "human limitations" and weaknesses that can be exploited. Specific meta powers and/or weapons/gadgets can cause her problems for example unless she surprises her opponent first with her other strengths. Setsuka does perform well in a team though because of those strengths and can even give sage advice if anyone were to ask for info.

[ SKILLS ]

"Wi Fi" Scan - As stated in the rankings, Setsuka always has access to the internet unless she's in a "dead zone" where not even she can get a clear signal. With this, she can also scan anyone and anything within line of sight to gain personal information on said target. Sometimes if that even means "hacking" certain sources to retrieve such data.

Analyzing Combat - Setsuka can also observe her opponent to try to anticipate their next move. Though unlike other robots, she doesn't "overrely on numbers". Sometimes, she makes her own personal guesses if the opponent is being unpredictable enough.

Vision Modes - Setsuka also has a variety of vision modes. From X-Ray to Infared and even Sonar.

Wall Climbing - Basically, Pakour skills but Setsuka can also use "molecular attraction" on its feet to literraly walk up walls if she wanted to. Similar to what comic book spider-man can do.

Cloaking Garb - Setsuaka's garb is actually an enhanced piece of clothing that Firewall "upgraded" using her powers. Not only can it change colors but it can make her invisible. It's not perfect though. Infared and other methods still make her detectable. Those with sharp enough hearing can also hear her.

[ EQUIPMENT ]

Anything it can invent or get her hands on or even things Firewall thinks she needs for a mission. Though she also carries a Katana.

《 H.E.R.O. 2064 》

<Snipped quote by DarkRecon>

Interesting concept, but there's a lot that's missing from the table right now.

• The whole powers/abilities section is absent, and that's kind of a must-have.
• The classified intel should be DMed to me and Canary. Let me know if I missed it, but I don't think I've received anything of the sort.
• HERO is not an international organization. HERO would have zero jurisdiction as to Japan's hero activity- that would belong to PHANTOM. As such, she can't just travel the globe willy-nilly.
• Again, full backstory should be DMed to me and Canary before I can accept the character. ​
• The entire concept of "e-Heroes" isn't clear to me, as your bio references both traditional law enforcement and hero companies as being Crimson Satsuka's employer. The former would really make her just a special forces ekop, while the latter wouldn't make much sense from a logical perspective. Hero companies employ metahumans, not robots, and robots are in fact singlehandedly weighing down the broader hero community. Hero companies would see no need to, and would in fact be STRONGLY opposed to, any form of electronic hero.
• Going by the former point's logic, it would also make zero sense why one hero company would ship what they view as a defective robot off to another continent. Wouldn't she just have been destroyed on the spot, or at least re-programmed in some way? Just saying 'here, we'll send the potentially compromised goods to another company to deal with' doesn't really make any sense.

A good idea, but there are a lot of flaws in the blueprint.

@Hitman

So yeah. After this explanation and what you told me, trying to make a "good robot" wouldn't work at all with the lore of this RP.

...*sigh*...well back to the drawing board. Might as well re-vamp K Nine then. Jesus though I've lost my edge with character design here.

《 H.E.R.O. 2064 》

Hi all. While I had NPC ideas, I FINALLY got around to making an actual character. Though this is still WIP, I'd like opinions on it before I continue:

Crimson Setsuka

Crimson Setsuka

"...I'm here to help, NOT replace..."

[ NAME ]

-Classified-

[ HERO IDENTITY ]

Crimson Setsuka

[ NICKNAME/ALIAS ]

Setsuka

[ AGE ]

-Classified-

[ GENDER ]

Machine (Female Design)

[ AFFILIATION ]

East H.E.R.O. Branch, Japan

[ APPEARANCE ]

Long blonde hair. Light colored skin and eyes with red pupils. More often than not, wearing a ninja garb of some colors. Usually Red if possible. She also has a garb can actually change color. Even her own apperance can be modified but that requires resources and preparation.

[ PERSONALITY TRAITS ]

Although a machine and mostly quiet, it has surprisingly good people skills when not on mission or when necessary to talk to others. Always learning and being polite unless threatened. When threatened or on mission, usually talks in robotic terms unless around other team members.

[ BIO ]

At first glance, one would or perhaps COULD expect Crimson Setsuka to be a normal human female with the strengh, agility and grace of a normal human athlete or perhaps past normal human limits. So many would be shocked to learn that Setsuka is actually a machine with an advanced Artifical Intelligence or A.I. for short in her metal body.

While information about Setsuka is classified by the East H.E.R.O. Japan branch, the general information that is accessable is that she was first created in response for the need of machines to help enforce the law but at the same time, the fear of "over relying" on said machines. While Setsuka's creator is unknown, the "rumor" that is being heard online is that a "child prodigy" created Setsuka and the REAL reason for her creation was to be a "mom" to her creator. While there are other rumors and stories, one thing that can't be denied is this.

Crimson Setsuka is not your every day E-Hero.

Already she has had an excellent service record. While not TOO powerful, it's Setsuka's ability to work with others, both normal and meta, that has made it stand out amonst other machines. In the east, there are some who even believe that Setsuka is a perfect example of what a E-Hero should aspire to should it have self-awareness.

Even it's favorite line, "I'm here to help, NOT replace" is infamous among eastern meta and normal humans alike. Even Setsuka's own body has some "human limitations" installed to help it better understand the "human condition" as it puts it. Others, though, see it as giving itself weaknesses should it ever go rouge. Regardless, Crimson Setsuka is a well known name even among other heroes.

However, a day came where Setsuka had to make a choice for itself.

One night at the East H.E.R.O. branch when it was in sleep mode, Setsuka had a "dream" of sorts. While her A.I. isn't human enough for it or perhaps impossible for a machine to have a dream, Setsuka felt that was the best way to describe it for a lack of better term. In it, she heard a voice...and the voice gave it an order. An order that even Setsuka felt great concern over.

"Terminate all meta humans."

She immedately reported this to it's creator come the next morning. After doing a full system check on her, nothing appeared wrong with Setsuka. None the less, Setsuka felt something. Something that would also show her a part of the human condition.

She was afraid of the order.

Seeing this, Setsuka's creator immedately reported this to the higher ranked officials. At the time, Japan as a whole wasn't fully onboard with having machines fully replacing it's HERO teams. Even more so now after this report since the "nightmare" senario with machines taking over was coming to furition. Hearing about Setsuka's "dream", now they were more than concerned.

When questioned about the details of the dream, Setsuka then said this.

"...I felt it...no...tracked it...location: west...somewhere...east coast of the U.S.A...exact source unknown..."

That's when Setsuka's creator decided on a decision as well. It was going to transfer Setsuka to the west. More ever, she was going to be the first "robot apprentice" to a well known hero of days long past. A hero who helped and survived the battles with then then ZERO organization.

K Nine aka Alpha just became a teacher to the Crimson Setsuka.

| MISCELLANEOUS |

K Nine once visited Japan to support it's local law enforcement agencies to help bridge the gap between normal and meta humans. It was because of this service that high ranking heroes and even Setsuka's creator felt that K Nine would be an excellent teacher for it's trip westward. As of right now, Setsuka has not yet found the source of that "dream" she had...

《 H.E.R.O. 2064 》

Sorry for the double post but here was my second character and a special NPC that didn't get much RP time in the previous RP. Again, special characters that may make a return.

Alien Angel

Alien Angel. Also goes by her normal human name "Terra" but those close to her also call her "Angelia". Photos above show her from 31 years ago but not even she knows her true age or certain other personal information despite her "supports" best efforts. Even now, she doesn't look like she's aged much.

A survivor of illegal lab experimentation of splicing Leftover DNA with her human DNA, Alien Angel gain her super powers through horrible means. Managing to escape then joining with a vigilante group called "Infinite", Alien Angel started her hero work under that infamous name. Those around New York from police to criminals knew of a "Pink Leftover" flying the night skies back in her early days.

Then, both her and other members of Infinite came to Castleburg, quietly supporting the other heros. Even more so, the group that Alpha himself once joined.

Even today, she doesn't know what kind of Leftover DNA runs through her veins but has learned to control and develop it to the point where she's officially labled a "A" Tier vigilante. Though technically wanted by the law, she actually gets "hired" for work by other offical hero groups.

With "Infinite" disbanded due to it's leader's heroic sacrifice many years ago, Alien Angel still goes from city to city, doing her part...until her "support" informed her of work back in Castleburg...

Firewall

Firewall. Hey amigo. No peeking...well...if you managed to get this far to even read this, your either the smartest being on the planet or just so dumb that reality itself bends to your whims...heh. Or you have a smiliar super power to mine. Regardless, your not going to get much out of me...well...maybe a little.

After some bouncing around, I wound up with the "Ifinite" vigiantes. I ain't normally a people person...even more so after those "lab coats" screwed me up for so long...but peeps like Alien Angel were just...fun to be around.

Afterwards, we just did our parts off record...but oh man...that whole mess with the ZERO organization 31 years ago...I'll tell ya, anyone in Castleburg who's still alive today probably has their own stories to tell about what they were doing...when all that went down...even more so with our old boss "Red Tail"...

《 H.E.R.O. 2064 》

Hi all. Sadly, still having character troubles and already we have 11 accepted characters up to this point -___-'.

But I made this while thinking things out. For those of you new here, this was my first character from the previous RP. Now, he may make special appearances in this one depending on how the GM's feel about this but he's not going to be a full time character.

Alpha / K Nine

Alpha. Sometimes known as K Nine of the Castleburg Police Department and other various code names over the years. While the photo above is shown how he generally looks, it was when he was 22 years of age or 31 years ago when he was accepted into HERO One.

Now, he's 52 years old but still in very good condition. His weight unknown but standing 6'2", Alpha has undergone training in hand-to-hand combat with then HERO One leader Hugo Powers and furthering his firearms training with then second commander Christina Lavendar among other skills, Alpha has now developed himself into a seasoned hero. Because of his experience with law enforcement, military and SWAT, Alpha is most often called in to handle "tactical" jobs or operations that require stealth, finesse or less direct apporach solutions.

While his super power is simply called "Ki Control", Alpha has developed it to the point where he's officially an "A" Tier super hero. Able to manipulate his own bodies energy, he's developed various techniques that make him a "Jake-of-all-trades" member of any team, if not a team leader if need be.

Once a quiet individual due to a very early tragic moment of his life and even used to talking in a monotone voice, he's now become a understanding man with good social skills as well as good communication skills. He does have a serious side when he has to take charge of a situation.

As of right now, he's returned to Castleburg. Apparently, HERO One's current leader has called him in...

《 H.E.R.O. 2064 》

<Snipped quote by Zoey Boey>

I love her! She looks fun, feel free to move her over!

@Hitman

Welp...there goes my vigiante idea =p

But yeah, now I don't know if I can bring "Alien Angel" back into this. I also noted this is sort of a sequel to the first HERO RP when I was reading the other info on this. Same goes for Alpha...actually, how many years does this one take place from the first one?

《 H.E.R.O. 2064 》

<Snipped quote by DarkRecon>

If you wanna join, absolutely! If you're coming back to RPG we'd be glad to have you.

@canaryrose

Thanks. So SOME of the original band members for this RP are here. Still have to think of a character though. Ain't sure if using the two from the last HERO RP is a good idea though.

《 H.E.R.O. 2064 》

...so Hitman...we getting the bad back together here? I don't come here often but you want me back, I'll join.

《 H. E. R. O. 》

Alpha

Alpha was among those playing "Irish Thug" while on the boat. In a way, he was dressed similar to Blake with his orange hair combed back down as much as possible with the same suit and red tie with the Fedora hat to match.

Though he mostly kept to himself even with black sunglasses. His "vibe" was to look like a "right hand" man of sorts if anyone got too nosy. If someone did, Cerise would cover for him. The simple "strong silent type".

He had waited at the bar area when the first problem came up.

Malady.

Of course, he knew about her...it was actually on his birthday two days after the whole EAGLES incident. Since losing his special police badge, he needed another source of information. During their stay, his parents came clean on some things. One of the topics was a certain organization that even they weren't supposed to mention but old friends from his days with the US government felt that he had clearance to know about the group.

But not even they knew the whole story...

ZERO. A group of supposed super villains that consisted of the best criminals the world over. Only the strongest and most loyal get accepted to them. And they said that Malady, the daughter to ZERO's leader, was in Castleburg and may have been involved in some of the incidents that had happened in the city.

Regardless, they both said to not go poking fights with any of it's members. It was suspected all were "Tier S" threats.

So when Black Baron himself finally came onto the scene and announced his replacement, he didn't bother taking out his vibrating iPhone to know what text was sent.

This was going to get ugly.

None the less, he played along and clapped with the rest of the group...

But unknown to perhaps Alpha and the others there, a certain vigilante was watching from the shadows...

《 H. E. R. O. 》

Alpha

After hearing the "new" hero Cerise spoke about her time in Hero One and working on her disguise, Alpha then monotoned, "...understood...and my name is Alpha as I said...formerly K Nine of the CPD...may I have your name ma'am..."

Then Brum spoke his mind on the subject. Alpha then responded in a normal voice.

"Uh I don't know about that Mr. Brum. Someone may get suspicious that those going undercover somehow captured a president of his own company and a super genius with technology AND has his own private super team. It may raise some flags on us."

Alpha then monotoned, "...it may make more sense for me to play prisoner...you could easily say that I snooped into the wrong territory and caught me red handed...I have gotten stronger I think since the EAGLES incident...but because I didn't take a Tier test...I'm still classed as a C...plus, you could assume my fall out with CPD may have clouded my judgement and I tried to play solo cop and got burned for it..."
