Genni

Codename: Prometheus (a super human rp)

Full Name: Vivienne Fãs Serviço Almeida
Codename: Nicotine
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Ethnicity: Latina
Nationality: Brazilian
Height: 5'11" (180cm)
Weight: 42kg (mass affected by powers)
Appearance:

Nicotine

Personality: While appearing bubbly and playful on the surface Nicotine has a vicious streak hidden beneath and can strike without warning when provoked.

Classification: Metahuman

Powers/Abilities:

Smoke-form

Smoke-form (Typhokinesis)

Intangible

Nicotine has the ability to transform her body into smoke, becoming a cloud of intangible gas which can fill a space of approximately 200m² while maintaining enough density to obscure vision. Dissipating herself any wider that this makes Nicotine translucent to the point of invisibility.

Omniscience

While in her smoke form Nicotine is aware of anything which happens within her cloud, although cannot sense or perceive things happening outside of her area of control. This awareness can become overloaded when she is spread over a wide area, necessitating her to fully concentrate on one area at a time in order to monitor activities, for instance a single building or other location.

Incapacitation

In high concentration states Nicotine can use her smoke form as a weapon, binding and trapping a target in her coiling vapours or forcing herself over their mouths or into their airways to suffocate them. Studies have shown exposure to Nicotine's smoke form has no long term health implications for those around her, and once recovered her targets may act and move as normal.

Weaknesses:

Windswept

While in her smoke form Vivienne is subject to atmospheric conditions, such as winds, thermal updrafts and turbulence from objects passing through her.

Involuntary Activation

Vivienne's incorporeal nature can sometimes trigger involuntarily, especially during highly emotional situations, leaving her unable to act on objects physically until she regains control of herself.

Waif

Even in a solidified state Vivienne has very little weight and can easily be knocked aside and thrown around by almost any opponent. She makes up for this somewhat with her skills in hand-to-hand combat, but still lacks the physical strength to easily cause damage to her enemies.

Weapons:

Nicotine can shape her smoke into solid, non-mechanical shapes, for instance blades, bludgeons and stabbing weapons. These blades can be thrown at distant targets but lose cohesion the further they are from her body, becoming nothing more than vapour after 187m.

Gear:

None. As Nicotine's power affects her whole body at once she is unable to carry any items, even clothing, while using her abilities. She normally gets around this problem by forming clothes from her smoke, although technically she's almost always naked.

Skills:

As a former supermodel Nicotine knows about fashion, presentation, psychological manipulation and seduction. She is also talented in a number of 'persuasion techniques', especially when it comes to influencing men. With her father's streetfighter training Nicotine is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, able to use her abilities and combat techniques in combination to take out most opponents easily.

Brief History:

History

While growing up in São Paulo, Vivienne had no idea that her parents had once been the famous crime fighters 'Tufão' and 'Bull Dinâmico'¹ believing instead that the strange leather and latex costumes she found in their closets were something personal and best not to be discussed with their teenaged daughter. Having hung up their tights when Tufo had become pregnant her parents had gone into the Superhero Protection Programme, leaving their lives behind to be relocated safely away from their old nemeses in order to give Vivienne a normal life.

At the age of seventeen Vivienne was spotted by a talent scout for one of Brazil's largest fashion houses and soon found herself appearing on the covers of magazines across the country, and over the next few years she soon became recognised as one of the rising stars in the fashion world. With her international debut just around the corner her career hit a nosedive when a rival model gave Vivienne a poisoned cigarette in the hopes of eliminating her competition. The plan worked but not in the way the rival had planned as the cigarette caused Nicotine's powers to trigger for the first time, turning her body into vapour as she walked down the catwalk in the middle of an international fashion show, leaving her clothes behind on the floor and Vivienne naked and exposed before the world's press.

Returning home in tears, her dreams of fame and fortune shattered, Vivienne was welcomed by her parents who, after revealing the truth of their own past, set out to train their daughter in the use of her newly awakened powers. Her mother, sharing her daughter's vapour-like abilities, taught Vivienne how to manipulate her density at will, forming solid shapes and vanishing into mist at will, while her father's tough street fighting skills allowed him to show his daughter how to handle herself when she needed to.

After several years fighting crime on the backstreets of São Paulo, the woman once referred to as 'The Star Who Streaked The World of Fashion' is now ready to re-emerge as 'The Star Who Beat The World Of Crime'.

_{1 - 'Typhoon' and 'Dynamic Bull' in Portuguese}

Other:

Heavy Smoker

Vivienne can almost always be found smoking a cigarette, usually using a signature cigarette holder formed from her own smoke. While she tells people that she needs to do this to maintain her smokey existence in reality it's more just to annoy people she doesn't like.

Lover

Bisexual in nature, Vivienne is currently in a committed relationship with Harriet Robinson, a fellow fashion model from The United Kingdom she first became friends with during her time on the catwalk. Vivienne doesn't know that the poisoned cigarette which triggered her powers was given to her by Harriet, who had been tricked by Vivienne's rival into believing the cigarette had been laced with an aphrodisiac she could use to her own advantage.

'Superhero Slut'

Vivienne secured her first contract as a fashion model by performing lewd acts with an executive from the fashion house for which she ended up working and a sex tape of these acts is available on the internet for those who know where to look. This, along with the embarrassing first display of her powers and her open and honest attitude regarding her sexuality, has led the social activist Constance Whitehouse to start an online hate campaign against the 'Superhero Slut', who she feels is no proper role model for the world's children.

Codename: Prometheus (a super human rp)

Powers/Abilities: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Physics_Manipulation: It's a pretty vague power but he mainly uses it to convert energy from on form into another very rapidly, giving or changing vectors of objects that he comes into direct contact with, and finally density manipulation. There have been three occasions where he has had to use his powers to convert matter from one form to another but all those times left him exhausted and unable to use any further abilities for at least an hour.

@Yahtzee

I'm not sure I understand this ability. Do you mean he can automatically accelerate or decelerate an object by touching it, or alter the path of flight for an object already in motion?

If Blitz was hit by a bullet, could he activate his power to cause the bullet to bounce off?

Would his ability be useless against Nicotine, since her attacks are more general area effect abilities and so wouldn't have a vector to be manipulated?

Dungeon Keepers (This one's done. Go to The Horde of Evil instead)

@Cyclone In Tinkerhel's case, could she be rewarded with a short stay in a torture pit instead? Those Dark Mistresses really gave her a taste for the gentle touch of a whip against her bare flesh. >D

It says a lot about a girl that she remembers to add a drinks holder when urgently constructing a bed.

@CAS1006 I'd normally go for Cassie, Solas and Cole for a PC Archer, as they give good stopping power and defence wile being able to easily flank troublesome blocking enemies for you.

"Before I rest. Can you tell me what a Venatori is?"

@CAS1006

“Hey! Did I hear that right? You don't know what the Venatori are? Have you been living under a rock? You sound like a 'Vint, but the Venatori are – well, sort of were – an open secret back home. And you've never heard of them?”

@McHaggis

Henrietta sighed heavily as she packed away her equipment and moved over to her 'bedroll'. "They weren't called a secret society for no reason. I'm sure any number of Tevinter citizens would never have heard of them." The dwarf said, pulling a lever on the side of her bed roughly.

With a series of pings a rattle and what sounded suspiciously like a bug farting Henrietta's bed quickly unfolded around her, cushions inflating themselves and a mug of steaming cocoa complete with marshmallows popping out of a side panel on a small tray.

"They were working with Corypheus, trying to bring about a 'Golden Age' for Tevinter, but none of them realised the Old One was merely using them for political power within the Imperium." As she spoke Henrietta sipped her cocoa, smacking her lips appreciatively as the warming fluid slipped down her throat.

"Since the Inquisition took their Master down, the last few Venatori have been on the run. All their assets in the Imperium have been seized and their slaves freed, or at least sold to better households, which from what I've heard about the Imperium amounts to the same thing as freedom."

Setting her empty mug back on its tray, Henrietta watched with quiet satisfaction as the assembly quickly slid back into the 'bedroll' where it would be cleaned and refilled by the following night. "Of course, having worked with the Inquisition we're not likely to be their favourite people right now, but since there's so few of them left with any real power I'd doubt we'd run into any we couldn't deal with."

The artificer sometimes felt as if she should take her bedroll apart to check exactly how it worked, as she'd been a little preoccupied when first constructing it, having just met a cute Elf and found herself in desperate need of a bed at the time, and for the life of her had no memory of how she'd actually built it.

Such things were for another time though, and wary from her journey Henrietta rolled over and made herself as comfortable as she could on the well-padded, ergonomically designed, self-adapting bedroll as she could.

Dungeon Keepers (This one's done. Go to The Horde of Evil instead)

@Cyclone I'd say get the bones of a system in place first, but then ask for input to flesh it out. If the system's too heavily developed it would make ironing out problems more difficult, as you'd start to pressure other aspects of the rules wth each change.

Would you have a developing dungeon? For instance, the Dungeon Keeper starts with a gang of imps who he has to order to mine, build and dig, but as the dungeon expands the GM would be able to 'promote' the good players into different creatures as new rooms were developed and upgraded?

And then there's captured Fairies being tortured and converted, along with other heroes as well.

I'd recommend some sort of reward system for players who carry out their tasks quickly and efficiently, or at least do what the Dungeon Keeper tells them to do timeously. The players with the highest rewards would be the ones most likely to be promoted, whereas the lower ranking players would be sent on suicide missions special assignments to gain points quickly.

XCOM Ideas?

I'd say keep Bravery, as it would give the players an indication for how they should be having the characters react to the situation. The idea of trying to get things done but having your character freaking out at every shadow at the same time would be fun.

You mean the time it took me to copy-paste your post then write over the letters?
