If you enjoy intelligent super beings with unusual ability quirks and power growth. If you enjoy learning the 'science' behind super powers. Or, if you enjoy surprise plot twists with darker story-telling, then this is the place for you.
This is to everyone: Since @AbandonedIntel is looking for inspiration, does anybody want to join on a mission to "Secure a parameter" and "Detain an unauthorized and unregistered power (Vega) who came out of an anomaly."? (As long as it's cool with @AbandonedIntel of course!) We can have our fist 'battle' with a scared and confused hero. ...Just thought that'd be fun for everyone to unload as a team on another power. Lol
Yep you probably to most likely did underestimate how many people would stick around. I mean after all the hard work we put into those CS's. I don't think people are just going to get up, and leave.
For real. I spent half a day on my CS and mine was mostly done from a pervious RP! Q_Q lol
| Alignment | Current: True Neutral Origin: Lawful Good Future: Either Chaotic Good or Chaotic Evil
| In-Depth Appearance | Appearance: Height - 6'3" Ethnicity - Mixed black/white Eye Color - Indigo eyes Weight - 190 lbs Build - Athletic Adrian has never truly felt like he fit in. Instead of letting that hold him back, he embraces it. From the music he listens to, to his violet hair with the perfect white stripe that sits just off of the center line of his scalp; he wears "unusual" like a uniform. He wears it so well, that it tends to intimidate people. Especially most women. Attractive and tall, Adrian also comes off as unapproachable or moody (even though that's not really the case). Despite everything, the fact that he stands out makes him a hot topic among the girls and thus consequently, the boys too.
outfit: Nightwing's suit except the highlights are indigo this instead of the blue (And no weapons ...yet).
| Abilities | First: Discovery/Use of his power: Able to repel objects with an outward spherical pulse. Then: Learns to concentrate the source of the force from his body parts (e.g. stronger punches/kicks, etc.). As he gains more control: Able to focuses the force from a spherical shape into a more focused point so that he can increase the range without sacrificing the power. He will also be able to increase the time duration to longer than an impulse. Through a horrific tragedy: He learns to reverse this ability into a pull instead of a push Consequently: The tragedy/fight was so horrific/intense, that his 'pull' ability tore open a singularity (one day he'll be able to control this.) and hurled him into the future (Now current timeline). *More alterations of his abilities to come*
| Limitations | Origin: Limited to a quick burst Potential Friendly fire Unforeseen consequences onto user Unstable in early stages.
Current: Friendly Fire Further he extends the range, the weaker the force (See below for details). Impulse field: Unbreakable at average distance from body (about arms length) Then weakens if he expands it to protect someone else. Also, it is like flexing a muscle. At furst, it's powerful but it's like lifting your max bench press at the gym. The longer he tries to sustain it, the quicker it weakens (And it weakens fast).
Push/Pull force: Close to infinite at source (to be able to create the singularity) Past one inch from skin: Weakens to about the strength to flinging a car through the air for a few yards 50 feet: About the strength of a hard punch 50+ feet: approaches 0 force rapidly.
All abilities cannot be sustained for more than a minute or so despite storyline growth. Currently, they can't even last seconds.
| Weaknesses | Basic human weaknesses. Just like the Flash, if Vega doesn't see it coming then he can't defend against it. One unexpected bullet and it's all over.
| Equipment | Current: Super Suit - Durable enough to resist knife wounds, semi-bulletproof. Origin: Regular hoodie and jeans. Future: Possibly carry a weapon with a sharp end to make hie 'pull' ability lethal. Super Suit.
| Personality Traits | Current: Loner, Righteous, Intelligent, Bitter, Calm, Understanding, Patient, Wrathful, A Little Obsessed
Origin: Quiet, Prideful, Show Off, Intelligent, Under Achiever In uniform (hoodie uniform): Prideful, Shows Off, Intelligent, Talkative, Immature
| Personality | Despite his unpopularity, Adrian is actually a rising star in his high school basketball team. His competitive nature and his unique outlook of the world makes him an excellent shooting guard and his height makes him an even better center. Having the most points, blocks and rebounds on his team nearly every game, Adrian tends to get lost in competition and can be a sore loser. Despite his disdain for losing and his intelligence, Adrian barley passes his classes. Between refusing to participate in class and refusing to do his homework, his grades would cause him to fail if it wasn't for his coach vouching for him and the fact that he has never scored lower than a 99 on EVERY test. His main reason for his lack of participation is that he hates when people ask to copy his work or ask him for help. Just like on the court, when Adrian (as Impulse) is saving the day, he tends to show off and hes a little more flashy than needs be. He talks smack, cuts maneuvers a little too close and doesn't get serious unless he's losing. As Vega, he is cold and holds a poker face almost the entire battle. People (and enemies) rarely know what he's thinking. His only motive is victory and often the only thing preventing him from injuring others is a half-hearted warning to "stay out of the way". Enemies and allies alike refer to him as "ruthless" and in combat, he rarely pays attention to if it's 'friend or foe'. The only reason he works well on a team is because he's patient and accurate. Also, he hates to show off his abilities because he fears that someone will discover a weakness or "chink" in his 'armor'. That fear makes him reserved and thus being reserved reduces collateral damage and friendly fire. Still, allies tend not to stand too close to Vega just in case something gets shot, thrown or flung in his direction, causing his impulse barrier to activate and blasting debris (and allies) in all directions. Vega's "I'll play nice" attitude is more for appearances than actual act or desire. He really only puts in enough effort to avoid being kicked out of the Powerbound Alliance and to avoid verbal conflict between teammates. His sole motivation is to bide hit time until he is able avenge his mother and understand his powers well enough to return to his timeline and prevent her death. Finally, his attitude and complete outlook on 'this timeline' comes with a bitter after taste. Since he believes that he will "go back in time and save my mom", he views this timeline as a "false" timeline. Vega believes that everything that happens in this current timeline will be rewritten as long as he doesn't die before that happens. Because "Nothing I do here will matter to anyone." attitude, Vega has an unhealthy detachment to the world and an even emptier regard for human life. Still, he was a hero and deep down inside, he doesn't wish to see people suffer and that alone motivates him to actually aid to a good cause and (begrudgingly to him) develop bonds with a few teammates.
| Quirks | Hates to Lose Often Late Sleeps in class Doesn't do his assignments Aces every test Thinks of things in angles and degrees (which makes him very good at basketball)
| Hobbies | Basketball Videogames Music
| Likes | Basketball Videogames Hip Hop Anime Food. All Food. Girls Physics
| Dislikes | Authority Racism Arrogance Losing People (most not all) Rodents Uncleanliness Stupidity
| Fears | Dying Before He Can Save His Mom Fear of Being Alone Fear of His Own Abilities/Powers Of Not Fitting In
| Place Of Origin | Queens, NY Orlando, Florida
| Family | Father: Hunter, Mark - No powers. Died of Cancer. Mother: Hunter, Andrea - No powers. Murdered.
| History | Adrian Hunter is a graduating senior at Athens High. His abilities come from a meteorite that granted him the Push/Pull abilities very similar to that of the 6th Pein from Naruto. On top of feeling alienated for being half black and half white, his story will take a darker and darker twist as his abilities isolate him more and more from his friends and family. This metaphorical separation soon becomes a literal separation as his greatest ability develops and hurls him through a black hole only to reemerge in a later timeline where over half a decade has passed. His friends have aged, the world has changed and his mother was murdered in his absence. Also, he has aged too. His goal is to return to the past to save his mother but a whole lot happens in between learning how to deflect bullets and having the ability to control something that can rip through the fabrics of time and space. Adrian accepts the call because they offered him three things; A super suit, a place to train his abilities/assist in getting back to his own time and a lead on who killed his mother.
| Extra | I don't have a favorite super hero/Eastern Time Zone/This is a High-Casual RP, so I suggest you bring your A-Game!
Any villains want to kill my character's mom and beat the crap out of my character a few times? (These events will take place 4 to 6 years in the past) I should caution you, my character is going to be gunning for you in the current timeline if you agree to being the one that offs his mom. (That doesn't necessarily mean that he can find you or beat you...) but he'll definitely want revenge. ;)
If not, I will make up a 'filler' villain. No biggie.
@AbandonedIntel I'll PM you so that I don't 'blow up' the OOC chat. I'm sure you'll have some edits for me to fix but I'll forward you the recent CS right away. Also, to show my appreciation, if our characters decide to have conflict (even by friendly sparring or conflicting goals) I'll guarentee you an epic fight and a free win! lol Thanks again!
Darn, I've been searching for 1/2 a week for a group for my girl and I. We were ready to go but the group we joined hasn't posted all week and the other "powers" RP have either 2+ years of posts or have way too many limitations to their universe and are going to have a "dead" storyline very quick.
This was a sample of my last post:
The night was still. The air was warm and a breeze passed between the buildings and over Athens Park, rustling the leaves and the trees. After midnight, the streets were quiet on the edge of the city. The soft glow of the streetlights and the flashing yellow stoplights provided just enough light to see down the empty roads and vacant sidewalks. The only movement was a man in his bed slippers with a bath robe loosely-tied around his waist, walking his Cairn Terrier. He yawned and scratched through the material of his coffee-stained wife beater that was peeking through his robe. He peered down at the terrier as he tried to rub the sleep from his eyes.
"Come on Todo. It's after midnight and I've only gotten 4 hours of sleep in the past two days writing headlines from all the crazy events that happened yesterday!"
The dog sniffed at yet another tree, deciding this one didn't meet it's standards for an appropriate bathroom either.
"A building full of men were beaten and killed. One was thrown out a window... others were shot in cold blood in the middle of the street in broad daylight. The city just isn't safe anymore." he muttered to himself as the dog moseyed up to another tree.
James Stewart was a journalist for The Olympian and although he was happy with his job, the chaos with yesterdays events kept him glued in front of his computer screen for the past 24 hours. At this point, all that he wanted was some peace and quiet and a little shut-eye before his boss called him in to write about the next tragedy that was bound to happen. Todo's ears perked up and he started peeing uncontrollably on the spot. Eyes-wide and fur raised. James was curious with his dog's behavior but his focus was far from the dog as goose bumps covered the length of his arms. His watch began to spin and his hair was lifting straight up. Peeling his gaze away from his watch, James looked up and off into the distance. The stars began to twist and swirl. The building's edges began to distort and warp in unnatural ways. In the center, in the space between the buildings, all light was being pulled into darkness. Todo yelped and ran off in the other direction, yanking the leash from his hands. James yearned to join him. He screamed at his legs, willing them to move but he was frozen in place as sweat slid down his neck. A pop and a rumble broke the silence as he felt himself being pulled, no; sucked into the void. Suddenly, a mass of black and violet, indigo and flashes of light erupted from the void as an object was hurled from the center of the vortex. Another BANG that sounded and felt like a sonic boom forced James to look away as glass shattered and the distortion was split and frayed. And just as quickly as it had come in, the air was still, the stars were all in place as they were before and the only disturbance were the sound of car alarms echoing down the neighborhood. As Jame's eyes regained focus, something was lying on the ground and that something ...was beginning to move.
Hey, I'm a little new to this website but I'm looking for a superhero group that is active and friendly. I like scripting with other characters and I don't mind if my character loses in a fight as long as it's tasteful. I'm in it for the storyline and I like power growth. If my character is losing fights, then it just means that I can up the strength of their abilities. I can also do heroes or villains and I enjoy taking requests. Have I come to the right place?
Alright, I know the basic rules. ie: No using other people's characters without permission. Don't beat, maim or kill anyone's character. Don't ruin someone else's storyline to advance your own. Etc.
I need to know the universe's rules. Like: Are we all heroes or are there some character villains? Can we attack the HQ? Do we like being in the bunkers and fighting crime or are we forced to? Can we write about sex? How do you feel about multiple timelines? Multiple universes? Does this dress make me look fat? (This one was a joke)
I do very layered storylines and I don't mind playing by the rules but I need to know all the limitations and constraints before I mold a character into this universe. Please and thank you!
