Martian

Marvel’s NuHumans -

Thanks for the quick answer. Currently formulating a character in my mind.

The Supermen of America

Decided to go with Roy. Here's the sheet.

Archetype:
Canon
Name:
Roy Harper
Alias:
Formerly Speedy, currently Arsenal
Age:
25
Base of Operations:
Formerly Star City, currently Metropolis
Powers:
While a baseline human, Roy is in excellent physical condition, comparable to Olympic level athletes. He is also a master with a bow and arrow, and highly proficient with most projectile or martial art weapons. He also knows Moo Gi Gong, an obscure martial art that turns everyday objects into a weapon, as well as many other martial arts. Roy always have his bow and arrows on him, with several arrows being various utility and trick arrows. He is also armed with a retractable staff, throwing knives, bolas, and a boomerang. Roy’s hero suit is made of highly durable Kevlar, and can unleash an electrical charge if an attempt is made to remove it.
Weaknesses:
Roy is a baseline human and as such can be killed in any way anyone else could. This includes bullets, blunt force, energy attacks, or toxins. Roy is also mentally susceptible as he struggles with drug use, depression, and anger issues.
Personality:
Impulsive, Focused, Flirtatious, Vengeful, Loyal
Appearance:


BRIEF Bio:
Roy didn’t know his parents as a child. He was raised in foster homes around the Star City area, never really connecting with anyone. That changed when a new foster father let Roy try archery. Roy excelled at the sport, becoming one of the best archers in the world for his age group. It was around this time that the vigilante Green Arrow began appearing. Roy was immediately captivated, even creating his own costume. Then one night, when Green Arrow was surrounding by mobsters, Roy intervened in his suit. Green Arrow was impressed, allowing Roy to become his sidekick Speedy.

Roy would work with Green Arrow for a few years, interacting with other heroes like the Teen Titans, a group he helped form. However, injuries from a battle would cause Roy to start taking painkillers, which then led to eventual heroin use. When Green Arrow discovered this he was furious and forced Roy to quit being Speedy. No longer a hero, Roy quit the Teen Titans, falling into a depression. He might have died if not for the aid of Black Canary, who helped him get clean. Shortly after this, Roy accepted a job as a secret agent for the US government. It was while on this job that he met the assassin Cheshire. They would quickly start a very destructive relationship, one that led Roy back to drugs. When his superiors learnt of the relationship and drug use they fired Roy.

Roy would fall in and out of drug use for a year, living in Star City. That was until he was approached by Cheshire’s sister who revealed that Cheshire and him had a daughter, and that Cheshire was dead. Roy was made the sole parent of his daughter Lian, which prompted him to seriously try to get sober. With the help of other heroes like Superman and the Teen Titans, Roy finally got clean, and moved to Metropolis with Lian. After Superman died, Roy felt that he should honour his memory, taking up the identity of Arsenal.

Potential Storylines:
Possible drug relapse. Struggles of being a single father. Cheshire not actually being dead. Trying to fix his relationship with Green Arrow. The US government being aware of his identity and use it against him. Connecting with former Teen Titans teammates. Flirting and new romances.
Notes:
Credit for the appearance image goes to this site. I slightly altered the image.

Marvel’s NuHumans -

Interested. Are mutants a thing in this world? Just wondering for backstory elements, still would play a NuHuman.

Star Wars: Raptor Squadron

As Mar made his way through the corridors of the Courageous, he was amazed at how different it was in layout to the Valorous, the previous ship he was stationed on. Fortunately on his first day, Mar had managed to procure a file of the ship’s layout for his HoloLens. In the few days since then Mar had decided to explore most of the ship, mapping it out in his mind in case something ever went wrong with his HoloLens.

Mar’s train of thought was interrupted when an alert appeared on his HoloLens. It was a reminder that he had a meeting in the ready-room. Mar dismissed the alert as he turned back toward the hallway that led to the meeting room. Mar was still getting used to the notion that he was an actual pilot, one that actually went into battle. For so long he had just been a mechanic, just fixing things and not doing things. The weight of that responsibility weighed heavily on Mar’s shoulders as he entered the ready-room, but with a quick breath he regained control of his mind.

As Mar looked for a seat he looked over the varied visages of the pilots assembled. Mar had not actually met anyone in this Raptor Squadron that he was now a part of, not even the CO who stood next to the holo-projector. Mar decided to sit next to the wolf lady, who was of a race he didn’t know the name, giving her a quick nod before turning back to the CO. Mar’s ears twitched with excitements in anticipation of the possible mission.

Star Wars: Raptor Squadron

Cool. Posting an intro post now.

Star Wars: Raptor Squadron

Mar

Name:
Mura Vath
Nicknames:
Mar
Age:
42
Sex:
Male
Gender:
Male
Species:
Sephi
Preferred starfighter:
Fang-class Fighter
Possessions of note:
Blurrg-1120 holdout blaster, vibroknife, HoloLens, toolkit with a fusioncutter and other various tools in it.
Personality:
Hopeful, Absent minded, Driven, Self critical, Imaginative.

History:
Born to a working family on the planet of Isobe during the twilight years of the Old Republic, all Mar knew in his first years was peace. There had not been a major war in hundreds of years and his home was very rich from the sale of the naturally occurring Tynzo crystals. Growing up, Mar was fascinated with the stories of Jedi and other warrior heroes, like the Mandalorians, viewing them as the most interesting thing in the galaxy. Mar probably spent too much time dreaming about them as he had problems in school. However, when Mar was seven, the galaxy was changed when the invasion of Naboo happened. Though it was quickly resolved, the event captured Mar’s imagination. He became obsessed with starfighters, deciding to focus his education on them.

As Mar got older he found employment making repairs on Sephi flyer craft. During this time Mar tried learning to pilot a flyer, but quickly became discouraged when he crashed it on his first try. Mar decided to focus on repairing craft for now, as he knew that was something he was good at. He did this until the Clone Wars broke out. With a war to supply, most jobs on Isobe became involved with the production of Tynzo crystals, which were needed in the construction of starcraft. With no employment available anymore in his field, Mar made the decision to leave Isobe. He drifted around for a few months before finding employment at the Kuat starship yard. Mar remained there for most of the war, feeling safe in the Core Worlds. That changed when Coruscant was attacked and the Supreme Chancellor taken. Fearing for the safety of his family, Mar quit his job and returned to Isobe to be with them. He had only just arrived when the formation of the Empire was announced and the war officially ended.

Like most citizens, Mar rejoiced the end of the war. However, a month later, Mar tried to get his job back at the starship yard, only to learn that under Imperial rule his job was now given to a Human. He was offered a janitorial position, but Mar declined. He then spent a year on Isobe, finding odd jobs. In that time the Empire tightened its grip on the galaxy. Disgusted by this, and how the royal family of Isobe was supporting it, Mar left for the Outer Rim. For the next few years he would be commissioned to fix crafts of various types, including starfighters. Eventually, Mar established a nice life for himself, far from the Empire. But things would not last as the reach of the Empire extended.

Mar would accept a seemingly average job to fix a starfighter. However, he was unaware that the ship belonged to a Rebel operative. When the owner came to retrieve his ship, he was followed by an Imperial intelligence agent. The agent believed that Mar was also a member of the Rebellion, trying to arrest him alongside the rebel. Mar and the rebel fled, but Mar was now officially listed as a rebel by the Empire. With few options available to him, Mar decided to join the Rebellion, becoming a starfighter mechanic.

For about a year, Mar served aboard the Valorous, a rebel cruiser, as chief mechanic. This would change when the battle of Yavin happened. Rumours of a Jedi joining the rebellion made their way around the forces. Reigniting Mar’s love of the Jedi, he was inspired to try piloting again. For the next few years Mar trained in the flight simulator whenever he got a chance. Yet, he never seemed to get good enough to become a pilot. It was also during this period that he recovered a heavily damaged Fang-class fighter. Apparently it had been owned by a Mandalorian Rebel operative, before they died in battle. Mar made it his leisure project, trying to restore it to working order. After many long months the fighter could work once again.

Then the battle of Hoth happened. Mar had been aboard the Valorous when the Imperial forces arrived. The Valorous was subsequently damaged aiding in the evacuation. As the rebel fleet fled, the Valorous attempted to follow. But after a few hyperspace jumps, the engines of the Valorous gave out. With the Imperial fleet not far behind, the Valorous was stripped of anything of worth, including the Fang-class fighter, and loaded onto another ship. By the time the rebel forces could regroup, many pilots had died. With an urgent need for replacement pilots, rebel command finally gave Mar his chance, even assigning him his rebuilt Fang-class fighter.

Appearance:

Mar stands at 5’10’’ and has a thin build. His skin is the same peach tone as most Sephi, as is his blue eyes. His orange-blond hair is kept short so that he doesn’t have to bother with it. Another trait of the Sephi is their pointed ears, but Mar’s are exceptionally long. Mar also keeps his face shaved and has no tattoos. Mar tends to dress for work, meaning he is usually wearing a jumpsuit or a uniform.

The Supermen of America

I'm interested in this. Probably going to play a canon character, but I'm unsure of which. I do have an idea for Roy Harper, as a single dad recovering from drug addiction, or maybe Kaldur'ahm as he tries to become his own hero. Give me a little bit to think about it.

Star Wars: Raptor Squadron

I am definitely interested in this. In fact I may have over thought my character's background, but I do tend to over think Star Wars. Anyways here is my sheet.

More Than Human

@Lugubrious

I’m continuing the conversation from the Interest Check. So in response to your points, here are some of my own:

- My character would be the son of two Kin. They basically tolerate him being a Deviant for now, and are pretty much just waiting for him to eventually become a Kin as well. To that end they encourage him to indulge in entertainment, which lead him to playing video games a lot. But unlike the Kin, he becomes interested in understanding computers rather than just consuming the content of others. This would lead to him dabbling in hacking.
- As he becomes older he begins to despise the Kin lifestyle, which leads him to Deviant chat rooms. He quickly becomes involved with a Deviant revolutionary group. They start as anarchists armed with knives and bats, causing trouble. This eventually draws the attention of the Jesters, or whatever the Cave authorities would be called, who quickly crack down on the Deviants.
- Realizing that they were backed into a corner, most of the revolutionaries fled the Cave, going to another world. My character would have fled to Earth, where he made a life in the frontier, receiving proper combat training. This went on for several years before he was contacted by the other revolutionaries. They decided that it was time to begin raids on the Cave. For fear of becoming Kin themselves, each operative was limited in how long they could remain in the Cave. My character would of just finished a round of raids, leaving the Cave and returning to Earth. When he is approached by the Interest, who offer aid for the revolutionaries if he assists them.

That’s just my thoughts. If all that sounds good I’ll begin working on a character sheet.

More Than Human: superhumans fighting evil in a post-modern fantasy

Interested in this. My character idea is this: a Deviant born in the Cave, who despises the Kin elite. This led to him joining a revolutionary group where he gathered combat and tech training. After being declared a terrorist he fled the Cave. He would be the hacker/infiltration member of the team. Obviously it would be more fleshed out in the character sheet.
