Darkness and Light

I'm fine with it. Though, be warned I'm traveling Saturday so I'll probably be getting my post up on Sunday.

Darkness and Light

Cool, everybody's posted their characters. Now we can get this show on the road!

Marvel/DC: The New Dawn of Superheroes

Oh. I thought this had died. Well, I don't wanna slow anyone down, and I'm not interested anymore, so I'll be dropping out. Sorry.

Darkness and Light

Okay, I've finished Hero. @ViolentViolet, could you check over him and make sure he's cool? I've added him to my post in the "Characters" tab.

Darkness and Light

Bah, nevermind. I'm to hype! I'll begin writing up Hero's Bio now.

Darkness and Light

<Snipped quote by Kafka Komedy>

I like A

@Cuccoruler

Yeah, I kinda liked that one better too. But, I'd be fine with other, and I wasn't sure which one you guys would like. I'll leave it up for a little bit longer, see who else pitches their opinions in.

Darkness and Light

Okay, so, I've got two types of backstory. Which one do you guys like more? Which one would more likely allow him to be in the Kingsguard?

A] The son of the Royal Head Chef, Hero, is mortally wounded by a group of bandits (Shep's?) attempting to steal the valuable ingredients he's transporting. He is saved by a witchdoctor, but she must perform dire measures, and accelerates his evolution. This gives him his strange markings, powers, and that spike. He returns home, and works to be accepted into the Kingsguard.

B] Son of a proud warrior family, Hero, is kidnapped when he is a teenager, and experimented on (By the Dark Lord's subordinates?). This accelerates his evolution, giving him strange markings, superpowers, and that spike. One day he escapes, and makes his way back to Trance Kingdom. There, he works to be accepted into the Kingsguard.

By the way, sorry for the doublepost.

"I told ya before, I'll take on anybody who gets in my way!"

Appearance

Name: Shep Lupus

Age: 16 (Just reached the age of maturity for wolfpeople.)

Gender: Male

Race: Wolfman

Side: Chaotic Good, Prince of the Bandits

Weapons:

• Short sword - A double edged short sword. His main weapon.
• Buckler - A small iron buckler shield. He uses it for defense, and as a blunt weapon.
• Hand crossbow - A small crossbow that can be used stealthily. Unfortunately, it doesn't hit very hard, so unless it's a headshot more than one arrow is required.
• War Hammer - A one handed War Hammer, used for blunt trauma and not-very-lethal blows.

Abilities/Powers:

• Prehensile tail
• Razor claws
• He's so goddamn stubborn that he's resistant to effects like illusions, and mind control.

Talents:

• Good aim
• Unnaturally acrobatic
• Good swordfighter

Personality: Shep's a young man, and he shows it. He's stubborn to the point of never, ever budging on any issue he's decided on. He's also ambitious, having the lofty goal of taking down the Dark Lord. This makes him a great fighter, with the will to never give up. This is contrasted with his indecisiveness, and dislike of responsibility. He's been forced into a position of leadership, and he doesn't like it. He enjoys the simpler things in life, like a good fight, and ladies. Did I mention he's a flirt? Because he will not stopping fawning over and coming onto a woman he finds attractive.

Biography: Shep was born the son of a roaming bandit named Howard, and a poor farmhand named Mary. Shep was left with his mother the first two years of his life, where she cared for him, but wished a better life on him. Howard had come back to the town one day, and, as luck would have it, the two crossed paths. Mary told Howard about his son, and Howard accepted the burden of a child, as he could provide his son a richer life, in his eyes. He had not told Mary he was a highwayman, but being the King of them, he was held in high status. Shep would then be brought into the group, treated well, as he was the son of their leader. Though Shep had not been on his father's missions first hand, he knew they were violent affairs. Howard stole from anyone he could, not caring of the consequences or if they were good or bad. While this was happening, Shep was taught the art of fighting, learning how to use a sword, a shield, and the hand crossbow.

But one fateful day, when raiding an encampment of one of the Dark Lord's subordinates, Howard was struck down. Shep was devastated, and that day, he vowed to end the war. But he was a simple boy at the age of 14, and now the onus of leading a group of outlaws was thrust upon him. He didn't want to lead, he had no idea how to command. So, he created a council, a group of his 4 most faithful fiends, and himself, and began his quest.

It's been two years now. Shep has been steadily stealing from the Dark Lord, and occasionally the King's own subjects, to fund his effort. He's also been capturing prisoners of war, and troops, to help him fight. His group is still decently know, but now their reputation is a bit better. Still, they're criminals, and they recognize they are. But they will end this war. For Howard.

Extras: He has a group of advisers. Rokal, his beefy strategist girl. Sard, the old immoral assassin. Karin, his reconnaissance and information worker. And Garth, his technological wiz.
He's short, but he hates when you call him that.
Heterosexual

"Hmph. If you say so."

Appearance

Except, yaknow, he doesn't wear sneakers. He just goes barefoot.

Name: Hero Sura

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Race: Warlock

Side: Good, Head Royal Chef

Weapons:

• Fists!

Abilities/Powers:

• Super Physiology - His skin is almost as durable as iron, meaning he can punch harder, and take more hits than usual, though his regeneration is that of a normal human.
• Communication - The spiky sensory organ that extends from the back of his neck allows him to understand and speak any language without effort. Even tongues and demonic speech.
• Fire Breath - About 50-60^o C.

Talents:

• Hand-to-Hand combatant
• Great Cook

Personality: Hero's anything but his namesake. He's a bit of a quiet man, not out of shyness, but his lack of things to say. When he does speak though, it's sure to be a sarcastic quip to whoever he's talking too. One of his more positive qualities though, is his adaptability, and quickness to accept. He's not someone you would find grieving, and he accepted his new form quite fast. This also means he's a bit easy to give up, and make do. He can't haggle, he's a defeatist, and he's bad at commanding people if they're resistant. If they'd just give him a chance though, they'd find that he's a great strategist, able to find enemies weaknesses and exploit them for all they're worth.

Biography: Hero was born the son of the Royal Head Chef, Suavis. Because she was going getting old, Hero was to be groomed to be the next head chef. Hero, though, wanted to help the King in a different way, and began training in hand to hand combat when he was 16. His mother disliked the idea, but allowed him to continue training. His martial prowess earned him a spot as a bodyguard on an important caravan full of rare ingredients and herbs, when he was 18. Unfortunately, some local bandits had heard about the shipment coming through, and ambushed it. Hero survived, just barely, and a witch-doctor came across him. She quickly brought him to her shack and began healing him. But his wound was much to serious, and he would die if regular procedures were to proceed. She decided to use a powerful concoction with the ingredients in the shipment. The potion evolved him into a new species, incapable of procreation do to dissimilar DNA. Within a few days rest he returned home and began experimenting with his new powers, getting better and eventually getting a greater understanding of his new form. Recently, Suavis has died, and Hero has taken up the place of Head Royal Chef- though he'd love to help fight, and is currently working to be accepted as a Knight of the Kingsguard.

Yes, those lines do go "All the way down." Stop asking.

Darkness and Light

Just got up. I'll get Shep up soon. May or may not rework Hero. I just can't think of a backstory for him.

EDIT: I've been entertaining the idea of Hero being the head royal chef. Fire breath is great for that kinda stuff. I dunno though, I'm gonna talk with my muse about him. Maybe that'll give me some ideas.

Biography: Unsure. All I know is he gets his powers and those lines from a magic/alchemy experiment.

Although his ice and fire breath don't affect him, his temperature resistance is only above average.

Alright. So, I don't really have a bio, because I wanna cooperate with Ala on this, since he's gonna be playing the king. Everything else is written up, though subject to change. Also, does he have to many powers? I dunno, I wanted to give him a power from all 5 early game magatama. Might be too OP.
