@Natty I'm really enjoying this character concept so far! Though I think his conceptual design is reading more of a defensive tank, as it seems a few of his abilities are designed to pin enemies down (maybe he could even have an ability that creates a biotic net or something to temporarily trap a group). Either way, I am enjoying the concept. Just wanted to let you know so that you had so motivation to finish him :)
Yeah I see what you mean about that, I'll change it!
I do like that net idea actually, however with both the harpoons, mini-stun after the leap, and the ultimate, he has a lot of stunning abilities already. I'll do some tweaking when I can and see if I can replace something.
In regards to voice lines, I can imagine Nemo quoting various lines from the book he's based on, or at least parodies to it. Also probably some dialogue for when he encounters Winston ingame would probably make sense.
Also maybe some diving puns? Idk
Edit: Maybe something like "Welcome to the depths" when he ultimates
A man of immense courage, Rahul Nemorajan is devoted to helping his friends, teammates, and generally those suffering from the hands of oppressors. As such he’s rarely one to back down from a fight. He is a terrific leader proven by his ability to captain a crew as large as that of the Nautilus, with him being known to be able to inspire those working for him. Also, though he is short-tempered, he rarely expresses his anger, not letting his emotions control him. Rahul is extremely determined in everything he does, striving to improve both his body and mind constantly. As a result, he regularly partakes in strenuous physical exercise, as well as spending his spare time reading literature.
Physical Appearance:
A tall, powerful man with a commanding presence, Rahul has a lean yet muscular figure. Atop his head is a mass of curled charcoal hair, reaching just above his shoulders. His chin is warmed by a rugged mess of a beard, with its colour mirroring the rest of his hair, save for small patches of grey. This gives himself the appearance of a man shaped by the sea, shown as well through his rough face and his scarred body. His eyes however tell a different story, reflecting not the life an old grouchy captain, instead holding in a sense of adventure and wisdom.
Affiliations:
Overwatch, The Indian Navy
Brief History:
It was his parent’s efforts during the original Omnic Crisis that initially inspired Rahul to join the Indian Navy. Due to both of his parents being on active duty during his birth, he ended up spending the first few of his formative years on the water, which allowed him to develop a love for the sea. This love continued even when he returned to India, with him insisting on going out fishing in the family boat whenever he could. As such, he signed up with the Navy as soon as he could. Many years later, just after reaching the rank of Captain, his efforts reached the ears of Overwatch, and they were impressed.
It was on his very first day alongside the peacekeeping force that he met the gorilla that would become one of his oldest friends. With Winston having just finished reading Verne’s novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", upon hearing Rahul’s name, he instantly pointed out their similarities, jokingly referring to the man as Captain Nemo. Intrigued, he too read the novel over the next few days and promptly became inspired, just like when he wished to join the Navy all those years ago. The nickname soon stuck, with it becoming his moniker once he became a field agent. Nemo and Winston grew close over the years, bonding over both their love for literature and their love for science. It was through this that they decided to begin work on a new mobile headquarters for Overwatch; inspired by ship owned by the original Captain Nemo, it would be a vast vessel with submarine capabilities. The project was huge, taking a couple of years before the construction itself even started. Unfortunately once the ship neared completion, things weren’t looking good for Overwatch. The group came under investigation from the UN, prompting the two to put work on hold until things cleared out.
Things never did, with Overwatch disbanding and the Petras Act deeming any Overwatch activity illegal, and liable to prosecution. Nevertheless, Rahul knew he could just give up. Calling in a series of old associates he had met during his time on the team, he resumed construction of the ship, determined to continue fighting the good fight. Upon completion, he hired a crew, amassing people from all around the globe. Christening the ship the Nautilus, his life began anew.
His new life was one of adventure and exploration, with Captain Nemo spending his time as captain of the Nautilus exploring the deepest depths of oceans, stopping illegal fishing vessels, as well as even assisting in the Second Omnic Crisis. His efforts against those damaging the oceans earn Nemo quite a reputation amongst the surface world, with many deeming him a hero, while others accuse him of breaking maritime law through his acts of sinking illegal vessels.
When the call came from his old friend, Nemo gladly answered it, deciding that now would be the perfect chance to test the full capabilities of his new enhanced diving suit.
Plasma Jets: Nemo activates his thrusters, launching himself forwards into the air a couple of metres. He stuns nearby enemies upon landing for 0.5 seconds. Jets had previously been used in order to navigate underwater. Hook, Line, Sinker: Nemo equips a chain to the next harpoon he fires. If the harpoon hits an enemy, it will pull that enemy back to Nemo, as well as temporarily stunning them for a brief period of time. Harpoon Gun (Primary Fire) Slow firing, but extremely powerful, Nemo can only fire a single harpoon before reloading. The harpoon has a serious knock-back, with it temporarily pinning enemies to terrain if they are close to it. Excavator Drill (Secondary Fire):Nemo's excavator drill activates, severely damaging any enemies in front of him. Pressures of a Captain (Ultimate): Nemo stomps his foot onto the ground, deploying a small magnetic-field that stimulates deep sea pressure. The field is in the shape of a sphere centered around Nemo, which moves with him, lasting 8 seconds. Within the magnetic-field, movement speed is slowed drastically, with enemy heroes being unable to jump or generally use any movement abilities.
Strengths:
While one of his greatest strengths would probably be aquatic combat, Nemo is also great tactician and leader. He has various means of pinning down enemies, using both his various harpoons (either pinning opponents to walls or pulling them towards him), as well as his magnetic-field, which allows for him to more easily land hits on enemies, stop them from attacking, or merely scatter them.
Weaknesses:
Due to the bulky nature of the suit, his movement speed is quite slow, meaning that fast moving targets can easily evade him on attack him from the rear. As such, without the stunning capabilities of both his harpoon and magnetic-field, he wouldn't be able to easily hit or stop his enemies.
Wanted to see what people thought before i continued work on this. Also if anyone has any ideas for a passive ability or as to how any of my other abilities could be tweaked or improved, let me know!
Five minutes later both Kate and Humberto had been briefed on everything; How Stegron had been spotted by S.H.I.E.L.D. during a followup mission to Captain America’s recent to the Savage Land, as well as that the plan was to get there as soon as possible and kick some dinosaur butt. Given that Fury allowed the three of them to leave the Triskelion anyway.
Despite the upbeat and confident attitude that Humberto tried to submerge himself in at this “plan”, it was easy to see that he was still startled by the news. Today he would probably be seeing his parents for what would be the first time in years. America herself would do anything for that chance. As such, she was determined to do anything in her power to help him not squander this opportunity. Even if Fury denied them access to a quinjet, America was more than happy to break ranks and punch her way to the hangar bay.
She was just about to put this sentiment into words, when the appearance of a strange looking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent entering the room caught her attention.
“Who the hell are you supposed to be?” America blurted out, evidently confused. “Some kind of Hulkling or something?”
The comparison to the big mean and green was an accurate one. The man before them stood tall and muscular, his skin a piece shade of green, mirroring that of the Hulk. Despite the complexion, there was of course some noticeable differences, most noticeably being the wings. His shoulders also seemed to be coated in some kind of armoured scales of some kind too, with the guy’s hair reminding America of every lead singer of every annoying boyband.
What came next however could be considered to be even more shocking than this “Hulkling’s” appearance. He began to ramble on, informing them that he was joining the team. The team that America was now apparently in charge of. At the very least the idea confused her. She’d only been an Avenger for about a month yet they were already instructing her with more responsibility. What annoyed her even more however was that evidently S.H.I.E.L.D. had been aware of Stegron’s location for some time now, considering that this agent here had already been briefed. Why hadn't they told them sooner? Did they not think them ready? On the bright side, at least they had permission to go.
She was still trying to process all of this when the green skinned agent before began to change, his appearance shifting and his skin paling until he resembled the spitting image of the before mentioned lead singers of those boybands. That being said, America was impressed by his shapeshifting capabilities. She had come across a number of them during her dimensional travels and it was easy to say that they were always useful during combat, and if the guy’s previous wingspan and muscles were anything to go by, this guy would be quite the asset in the field.
Asset. She was already thinking like a suit.
The change had obviously shocked the others too, with Kate standing simply standing in place, her mouth hanging open, while Humberto just stood in his silence and pain. Fortunately the shapeshifter’s comments about trying his best to help had brought a glimmer of hope to the poor teenager’s face, which was all she could ask from him at this point.
“Well now that introductions are out of the way, what’s next?” Kate’s voice was a much needed addition to the silence, and America was extremely happy with it.
“We go get him, right?” Humberto spoke, his voice raising in confidence the more he spoke. “We beat Stegron, and get my mom and dad back.”
America wanted to agree. She wanted to lead a patriotic cheer before charging the bunch to the hangar. Yet instead she stood still for a second contemplating. What if they weren’t ready? What if they went out there and they got hurt. Or worse? The thought cut deep into America’s psyche.
“Ah dios!” America swore, clutching her hands against her face in frustration. She seriously did not want to be in charge. Taking a deep breath, she sighed loudly, before moving her hands up and through her hair. Slightly calmer now, she looked back up towards her new “squadron”, as the green skinned Hulkling had referred to them as. “Guess I’ll be having words with Cap’ after this then. For now though, I guess we should probably get going.”
She put on a smile as she strode towards the door, with Kate punching the air slightly in excitement as she followed behind. Humberto followed on soon after, evidently still partially cautious despite his previous remarks.
“Come’on Hulkling!” Kate called back towards Teddy, obviously having taken a shine to the nickname America had accidently given him. “Let’s go hunting dinosaurs!”
@Blue Demon, who has Christine And Ginny, @Natty, who has Gabbi, @Culluket, who has Babel, and @Hellis, who has Broker and Runes. Those are only a few, but their cses weren't easy to find without some thread searching which is why I wished everyone that was accepted would've putted their CSes in the the Char section. If one of the people listed did, I didn't see it save for Hellis and Culluket for sure. XD I also believe @Turbowraith is joining next season and yet to make his PC, which might be a good choice in creating one that's a good option right off the bat for Lisa.
Probably should have said something beforehand (although i don't think my CS was actually accepted as I never finished it :P ) but I honestly don't really have much time right now to join many more RPs :/ That being said if my schedule frees up more or something i'll give Gabbi another look and reapply! :) Apologies for any confusion!
Yeah, know they're also replacing Tony Stark as Iron Man with a girl named Riri Williams, with Tony being her mentor. Thinking about it though, surely they should just make her Iron Woman instead?
Unworthy Thor series starring Odinson coming too which should be good!
Is Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme that team he was with in Civil War II #1? As that would be great!
The Female Cap in USAvengers is Danielle Cage from the future apparently (unless you meant her being on the team as well as Danielle). While she obviously is a very patriotic character, I'd assume that they would have announced that she was on the team by now along with the others, although that's just my opinion!
Again, hoping for a solo series, or for her to be with the rest of the Young Avengers in an actual avengers team! I really don't see Ultimates lasting long after Civil War II, which is sad because it's good stuff!
I really do love the lineup for that, mainly because Miles, Sam, and Kamala are my fave part of ANAD Avengers and I feel they would all have a good dynamic together! Kind of reminds me of DC's Titans, which is what I'm guessing they were going for.
That being said, with this happening, I now doubt that they'd bring back all of the Young Avengers members to form some kind of team which is something i've been personally hoping for since ANAD started!
Considered making an Overwatch Rp myself a while ago so I'm definitely interested however may just wait before settling on any ideas until after a few CS's go up to see what type of character is really needed and whatnot.
All Tyrus could do was stare in amazement as the detective appeared on the scene, adding yet another person to the chaos of the alleyway. The stare of amazement wasn’t simply because the guy intervening was a cop. No, just about any old smuck could go to police academy along with Steve Guttenberg and Michael Winslow and come out with a shiny badge. No, the real reason to be amazed was because of what the guy could do! Miraculously the man managed to avoid gun fire from the Riddler’s goons from point blank range, with the bullets reflected off a translucent gold shield that had appeared in front of him.
That wasn’t even the craziest part though. With one simply flick of his wrist, two long silver ribbons erupted from his hands, growing in size as they tangled around the goons trapping them.
What kind of crazy sorcery was this?! It took nearly every ounce of self-control that he had not to flip out there and then.
Obviously the purple clad vigilante he had come to help seemed to be having the exact same thoughts. Merely seconds after the group of riddle loving thugs had been apprehended, the girl was already attempting to make her escape, with her whipping out what appeared to be a grappling hook out of her utility belt and firing upwards towards the rooftops. She soon found herself hurtling away, leaving Tyrus alone with the couple and the stern looking detective. He couldn’t complain too much though; she‘d called him cute after all.
“Sorry man, but the girls got the right idea! Robins never do well with cops. Especially cops that seem to stop bullets and shoot silver stuff out their fingers.” He said coolly, staring the detective dead in the eye as he did so. With one swift motion, he launched his billy club out directly above him, the piece of metal souring high into the rooftops. “Besides, you cramp our style.”
While not the most ingenious exit line, it would have done the job if the billy club above had missed. It was as if God himself was messing with Tryus. As soon as the word “style” had left his lips, the billy club descended from the sky like a rock, clattering down loudly between the two.
“Shit.”
Not wishing to prolong the awkwardness he had just created, Robin darted forwards towards the billy club. Upon grabbing it he turned, intent to throw again. This time he would actually aim. He gave a silent prayer that this time his club would hit its mark. Fortunately the sound of clanging from the fire escape above confirmed that it had, with the cable between the one he had thrown and the club in his hand instantly tightening. Turning back to the detective, he gave an apologetic smile before pulling himself upwards and out of sight.
Unsurprisingly, once Tyrus had reached the rooftop, the girl seemed to be long gone. He wasn’t once for giving up though. She seemed to have some vague idea of what was happening here in Devil’s Square which meant he needed her help. Deciding to climb higher, thus giving him a good view of the surrounding area, he propelled his billy club further up to the roof of an apartment block. After another brief rush of air, he found himself heaving himself over a ledge. As he did so, he glanced ahead, and to his surprised found himself directly next to the girl he had been seeking.
“Uh… Hey man.” He said awkwardly, fumbling for words as he clambered onto the rooftop next to where she was sat. “Was it just me, or was that back there totally weird? Like, I’m pretty sure that wasn’t normal. Even for Gotham’s standards. Anyway, I’m Robin. Although you probably know that, considering the uniform, and uh… the big ‘R’ on my belt.” He was rambling now. “What’s the deal with those pricks down there anyway? Heard some commotion about the Riddler and some lame-ass sounding Cluemaster and...”
That was when he spotted her shoulder. Given the purple costume and the darkness of night, it was no surprise that Tyrus hadn’t seen the wound sooner, but upon closer inspection it was obvious that it was serious. Now panicking slightly, he stood back, running his hand nervously through his hair. He’d experienced gun wounds before, from both his time with the River Rats, as well as during his time as Robin. That being said though, it never made it easier.
“We… we have to get you to a hospital or something!” That’s all he managed to say at first, with his voice reflecting somewhat the panicked state he was in. “Can I help? Can you walk?”
