A.I. am Human (Cyborg 009 remake)

Noice.

Anybody else? I would need at least 5 players total for sure before I invest more time into this. After I write up an IC post for my other RP I'm gonna clean up the OP in this iCheck, maybe post the micros of the redesign for their suits that I had in mind as well...

I *think* my side power will be limited giant growth. Still though, need more interest before I even come up with a CS model.

A.I. am Human (Cyborg 009 remake)

The year was 1991, and during the month of March just after the release of the second Ninja Turtles film an organization abducted nine individuals. From all across the world, the nine were chosen for a secret experiment to finally dissolute the U.S.S.R. as well as defeat the enigmatic antagonist called the Skull who was helping the Soviets. After the U.S.S.R. fell the nine individuals would be used in an attempt to end the Gulf War before it started. However when the truth about their origins were revealed to be lies they fled in hopes to pick up normal lives again and hide in society once more. They were now somewhat immortal, man fused with machine: Cyborgs. Each possessed a power unique only to themselves and over the course of the next twenty-seven years many of them would band together to stop world threatening enemies. They stayed one step ahead of the world governments since they no longer knew who they could trust.

They were made to be stronger, faster, and more durable than humans. When the internet became a bigger deal in the year 1995 and technology for humanity was on a rise, the nine cyborgs discovered the truth. They were not cyborgs from birth or volunteers in the program that created them, but normal people from across the world abducted by a man in a skull mask. The scientist that augmented them and gave them abilities (Doctor Wells) found out about their ties to the Skull. How he chose the nine people and why is still a mystery.

When the nine cyborgs stopped operating under the U.N. in the Middle East, they tried to hide within society and live the lives that were already taken from them. Some of them had success in becoming somewhat human again, while others found more problems in their respective countries. For nearly three decades the nine would come together, usually just a few at a time, to deal with the most random of occurrences. Giant mecha robots in Japan? They stopped it from becoming a problem. The mutated fifty-foot tall gorilla in New York? Cyborgs 002 as well as 006 took care of that one. The U.N. wouldn’t continue without replacing the cyborgs. A group of elite soldiers were issued mecha suits to put them on par with some of the cyborgs and called the Guardians. They operate out of something like a smaller scale SHIELD heli-carrier and protect the countries affiliated with the U.N. Depending on their orders the Guardians have been known to be both ally and enemy to the cyborgs in the past.

Now the nine cyborgs have been brought together once more despite a number of them living normal lives in society. A cyborg from the future time traveled back to the present, the year 2018, to warn the nine of a new enemy capable of absorbing them and their powers that’s become a real problem in the future overthrowing entire countries. The evil cyborg was called Adam, and he absorbed the cyborg from the future and his power before he could make it back to his time period. How will the nine cyborgs defeat an enemy who can become ten of himself? And who’s the guy claiming to be the new Skull taking credit for making Adam?

---

If this looks similar to the Cyborg 009 concept, it’s because it’s basically my attempt at modernizing it a bit and stepping away from all of the history dating back to the 60’s. The premise is still the same. Nine cyborgs with spiffy suits complete with cool yellow scarves protecting the world from only God knows what. After reading up on a lot of the history of Cyborg 009 I tried coming up with an enemy unlike anything they’d faced. The inspiration for Adam came from the popular Dragonball Z character Cell.

The idea is we will begin with hopefully 9 players. Any dropouts would of course be absorbed by Adam in-game. There’s plenty of ways to go with a character and I hope some of you take the chance and make cyborgs from around the world. I’ve gotta stick with what I know and make mine from the USA, but even in the original series there was a white American as well as a Native American cyborg among the group. I’ll be honest and admit I JUST got into this concept a few days ago, and was lucky enough to find the newest series on Netflix. I highly recommend this series if you’re looking for something a little different. I generally try superhero themed RP’s but I hope to get something else like this that’s a little more sci-fi off the ground. If there’s enough interest I’ll post up a Character Sheet model. It’ll be a bit different than the Sheets I generally make for my superhero RP’s, but that’s just because there’s so much more to these cyborgs.

So, little bit Terminator and a little bit Astro Boy. Who’s with me?

EDIT: If any of the details or dates are confusing I'll clean this iCheck up over the weekend to make everything more clear. I kinda rushed writing this up...

Justice League Unlimited vol. 2

Rules:

1.) No back-to-back posting. Posting will be restricted to 3-4 posts per player per Episode. Larger storylines will have higher post caps as well as Character-centric Eps.

2.) PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND SET-UPS!!

3.) Make sense. If we can't make heads or tails of your posts they're likely to get skipped over.

4.) Get permission before using another player's character in your posts if it involves changing the scene or making actions. Everybody will take beatings in this game in battle however, so don't get pissed if you get punched or blasted into a wall by the bad guys! Namely me or the Co-GM controlling the badguys...

5.) Problems with the game or players should be sent directly to me or the Co-GM through PM's. I don't want a bunch of bickering in the OOC. And I don't particularly like it when some random argument costs the game players and story potential. So don't be dicks to each other, just send your concerns to us.

6.) Abandoned characters will be used as NPC's or killed off within the context of the story.

7.) “I was waiting for [insert player/character] to make a move” is not how this game is played.

8.) There is no rule #8. (I actually took this non-rule from an old Lord Wraith RP LOL)

9.) My word is law.

10.) Obey the law.

11.) Episodes will stagger two at a time between larger 12 player episodes. Today Ep. 1 will begin with all 12 players. In a few weeks Ep. 2 & 3 will begin with 6 players each. Just to make things easier on the GM's controlling the mentors and setting the stage for everyone.

12.) In the event that I'm offline for any period of time, the Co-GM @Sir Lurksalot will take control and HIS/HER word will then be law.

^{January 14th, 2019 - 1:30 pm | Secret Society Headquarters - Hidden Swamp}

<sub>Mentors: All

Cast: Everyone</sub>

"I have seen the beginning and end of time. I have traveled through space, other dimensions, and explored several aspects of the Multiverse. There is currently an other worldly analogue of mine facing a parallel world's Superman as we speak on his own Earth. And another world reading about it in their 'comic books'. I do not know how or why you've brought me to YOUR Earth..." explained a blue skinned man in the headquarters of the Secret Society. "..but there is nothing you can offer me to join your organization." he continued with Brainwave, the ginger haired Lex Luthor Jr., and the Enchantress surrounding him.

"What about.... PURPOSE?" Lex asked with a grin.

Days later....

"I have fixed your Martian problem, Luthor. I wish I had an alien species to interact with on Mars from MY universe... and you have two." spoke the blue skinned Quantum-Superman. "The White Martian posing as Bruce Wayne was replaced with the Green Martian, brother of one of the current Justice Leaguers. The armada of White Martians on the edge of the galaxy were transported to the sun's surface and completely wiped out."

"Last time I deal with an alien race of shape-shifters. And my other... problems? Did you take care of the Justice League?" asked the ginger haired man. He was well into his 40's and going grey.

The blue skinned cape-less Quantum Superman walked around the HQ for a few moments before answering. He thought back on the joy it gave him to rewrite history and alter individuals in such ways only a God could understand. With a wave of his hand he altered Shazam. Now rather than Najee Carter and a wizard's champion in black, Shazam was a Caucasian clad in red. He also took note of this universe's Blue Beetle, who didn't remind him of his universe's Beetle enough to let him use the name... he simply changed this guy's color scheme. A few pokes and prods here and there and the Rookie who turned into Champion had a much different path. The team who came up with the Patroller mech for Polarity Man were put elsewhere in the government and Larry Trainor was given a new robotic 'face'. These were things that the blue skinned Quantum Superman did for 'fun'. The other things that Luthor Junior had mentioned when asking about the Justice League were much more difficult and required a bit more power and time. This included transporting people back AND forward in time as well as placing people in other dimensions.

"I sent Starman back to his own future with a memory wipe. The cartoon girl was sent back to her own dimension. Your dead Superman's Kryptonian DNA has been altered to a state where he cannot return to life on his own or by cloning, his corpse is just.... a regular corpse now. I also sped up the return of the other female Kryptonian who was sent to the past, her brain may have experienced some temporal damage and it will not end well for someone." replied the other-worldly blue Superman.

"They're the only ones with the power and experience to figure out things have changed..." Luthor Jr. grinned running his fingers through his hair. "And Solara returning will take down the rest of the League..."

"I wouldn't count on that alone. Since I've tampered with reality the League has changed as well. And soon the changes will be forgotten by even you. Even the subtle things I toyed with will become permanent reality..." the quantum powered man continued, "And you can tell your gang to back off. I realize now you've been playing me and I see through the witch and the telepath's tricks." Quantum Superman commented noticing more members of the Society than just Brainwave and the Enchantress were surrounding he and Luthor. This included the likes of Black Manta, Dr. Polaris, Warp, and Livewire....

"So you changed even more than I asked you to? And now you see through the charade? What are you gonna do now, boy blue, what's your endgame?" Luthor questioned looking a bit aggravated as the other Society members began to mobilize around the blue skinned Quantum Superman. This included Lion Mane, Solomon Grundy, and Shadow Thief surrounding him as well.

"When I return to this world, Luthor, I'LL HAVE THE ANSWER... And you will wish you'd never bothered THIS Superman. " the blue clad visitor from another Earth said before disappearing into thin air. Half of the villainous Society looked dumbfounded. Lex Jr. continued to look smug.

"And when he returns I'll be ready for him. I'll steal his power..." Lex mentioned while looking over his shoulder at his workshop where he was using the Nth metal artifacts to melt down into a more modern and teched out Nth metal power suit.

^{January 20th, 2019 - 11:30 am | Justice League Headquarters - Metro Tower}

The Justice League has a regular group meeting and lunch every weekend. Everyone is supposed to be on deck for any news or updates involving membership, security, new protocols and training sessions, etc. Currently Champion is at the Metro Tower cooking up some food for the large group of heroes. The Martian Manhunter is floating through the walls following a scent of Oreos in the air. Not everyone had arrived yet at the Tower. Just the ones who lived in the Tower. Others had to be teleported in from whoever was working Monitor Duty. It made things easy when the Martian Manhunter was operating as a central neural net granting League members telepathy with whomever was working Monitor Duty over great distances. Better than smart phones AND personal radios.

However, Jimmy Olsen aka the Guardian was running a bit late and lived too close to warrant asking to be teleported to HQ. He was already in-costume leaping and running through the Metropolis skyline on rooftops until reaching the Tower. After leaping down from the rooftops and walking across the large entryway into the secure facility he removed his helmet and carried it in his hand and placed his shield on a back harness. Bumping into the Atom the ginger haired hero asked...

"Hey man, have you seen Supergirl around yet?"

Recommended Background Leaguer: Bulleteer w/o helmet, he’s the ‘Tower technician

BRIEF Bio:

Jimmy is the same ginger haired kid he always was, growing up in Metropolis. He was already taking pictures of Superman when he was a senior in high school, the same high school where Lara attended. There was always chemistry between the two whenever Clark and Lois brought Lara around the Daily Planet offices. And it was odd that Jimmy worked with her dad and idolized his alter ego. This went on for several years and Jimmy began wanting more in his life. He wanted to be looked at the same way people looked at Superman. However, being a hero is no easy feat as Olsen would soon find out. At the age of twenty Jimmy decided he wanted to try being a police officer. For whatever reason he didn't make the cut.

After Jimmy flunked out of Police Academy three years ago he became a security guard at the Planet and was more protective of his friends when it seemed like Superman and the original Justice League weren’t around. After Vixen and Robotman were killed, Clark told Jimmy that he was Superman. In some weird Kryptonian gesture of friendship, Superman gave Jimmy his great grandfather of Krypton’s golden shield. Olsen held onto the Kryptonian artifact and couldn't believe that Superman... Clark... would ever give him such a thing. At the most Jimmy expected a watch. As soon as he got it back to his apartment he began parading around like he was some hero in a movie.

Fast forward about eight months… and Superman was killed by Doomsday. About six weeks ago, Jimmy put on a makeshift suit and started patrolling Suicide Slums as Mister Action. After three days he spent a little more cash on new gear. Olsen based a new identity off of a classic comic book character from the 40’s and 50’s by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Donning a similarly golden helmet to match the shield, he called himself the Guardian.


Notes:

- Jimmy only has about six weeks experience in the field.
- He’s still not too skilled in hand to hand combat but he’s got excellent aim.
- He’s known Lois and Clark since he began taking pictures of Superman at age 16.
- When he was a senior in high school he met their daughter Lara, who was a freshman.
- Jimmy considered the aliases Mr. Action, Atlas, and the Metropolis Kid.
- Shield is composed of unbreakable Kryptonian metal alloy.

Sample Post:

“Metro Tower is about a mile and a half from the ‘Planet. I can make it there in no time even without being a metahuman…” Jimmy thought on the rooftop of the Daily Planet in what looked like workout clothes, jogging pants, and wearing a single strap gym bag over his shoulder.

The young red-haired man ran and leaped from the roof. He landed, rolled, and continued back on his feet doing something of a corkscrew flip in the air and onto the next building in is path. Olsen ran and leaped again, this time into the fire escape equipment on the side of a taller building to climb back up. You could tell he had a lot on his mind. He was pushing himself harder than ever before. When he finally tripped up on the rooftop of another building Jimmy took a breather. It’s not like the League was on alert or anything. Jimmy had just heard Supergirl might be at the Metro Tower today and it’s been awhile since Jimmy had really got to speak to Lara. When her father died fighting the monster dubbed Doomsday, it rocked both of their worlds.

Jimmy wasn’t sure why Superman had let him in on his secret identity months earlier. Or why he gave him his great grandfather’s shield. Maybe Superman knew one day he wouldn’t be around and hoped Jimmy would help protect his daughter? It was a lot for the new hero to think about but he tried to make the best of things. After about nine minutes of running, jumping, and flipping Jimmy arrived at the ‘Tower. He felt like he went DBZ and pulled off an instant transmission, but the young man knew he didn't have any superpowers of his own. He was used to chasing Superman throughout the city to get the best photos from the craziest angles. Still, he couldn't have got there faster in a car in this afternoon's traffic.

“I haven’t even thought about what I’m going to say to Lara…” Jimmy thought, “DAMN, Olsen! What if she doesn’t even come around today? What if she’s busy with Lois?” Jimmy continued to think and walked into the building and through the oddly empty lobby.

And when Jimmy turned a corner there she was. Long black hair like her mother, bright blue eyes like her father, Lara was just passing through. She was walking down one of the hallways in the personal quarters area with Zatanna. And as sexy as some men might find a woman in fishnets like the magical Zatanna, Olsen couldn’t take his eyes off of Supergirl. And then… she walked past him without saying a word and continued on with Z. He was speechless before and he is speechless now. After several moments passed his wits returned.

“I wonder who’s on monitor duty tonight?” he finally thought continuing to make his way to his room where he could get into his suit for some training.
