No problem. Since Vega just dropped off, I was wondering if you'd like to script sometime? I know you and Gunrat @Jotunn Draugr have a duel RP (and I totally don't want to get in the way of that) but since he's trying to catch you, I thought it might be fun of Vega to kill a zombie or two, finds your actual ghoul character and then blasts her deep into the city, thinking that killed her. Gunrat then can come around the corner asking if I saw which way you went or something and get pissed that Vega is the reason you got away. Lol
Okay, so I've decided STRIKE will be forming a superteam to deal with a specific threat. Ever play Injustice? Basically tragedy falls on Superman and makes him the badguy. It'll be a similar situation with a paragon of a hero falling from grace and needing to be neutralized. STRIKE will put a team together of heroes and a villain or two who can be bought to take him down.
So if anybody wants in on that bit of story development let me know! Gonna start another iCheck tonight to try and get a couple more players/heroes since we're mostly villains and walking the line folks...
Adrian sat pulsing his ability over and over again in the palm of his hand. Testing his control, learning his limits. The swirling mass was a welcomed distraction from the results of his previous battle. "The last battle was harder tha- ...No. The last battle wasn't any different than the others." Adrian swallowed the bitter pill of pride. Truth was, he was careless. The group had the right strategy, the right placement and they were actually working like a team. He was careless. That's all. Blood still soaked part of his right shoulder. "All this blood because of a moment's hesitation." He'd never express it (at least not in front of other people) but he was in a lot of pain. Adrian replayed the battle over and over again; each time, kicking himself for not reacting fast enough to block the hit. Another jolt of pain. Adrian pulled his focus back to the palm of his had. The black dot reappeared casting an abnormal shadow. The image of his skin distorted and swirled as a tiny universe spun just above his hand. Close enough to grasp but hovering just out of contact. With another squeeze of his power, it popped and vanished from existence. Adrian wanted to get better; NEEDED to get better but another mistake like before and it could be all over. The image of his mother flashed through his mind; consuming his focus and searing to the surface of his memories. Another bite of regret. "If I had only been there to save her she'd still be aliv..." Pain shot down his arm, demanding his attention like a jealous girlfriend. He pulsed another swirling void into existence to regain control of his thoughts. "Just like in basketball, If I can't practice my dribble, I can always work on my free throw. I can't work on my defense, so I am going to work on a new skill." ”Ow! Son of a bitch!” The tiny singularity faded as Adrian glanced up to see Nyt chasing after a small bit of tech that clattered across the ground. She snatched it up and the device lit up in turn, flashing light and strange symbols across her face. She quickly slammed it shut, blinking in bewilderment. ”I’m okay. I’ll just take this and… study it.” She looked confused and surprised as she hurried to an isolated sitting area. Adrian slowly got up, ignoring the throbs of protest from his shoulder, and strode over to where Nyt was sitting. " ...information… Nyt, we’re not in the… correct timeline." "Not be in the correct timeline? How could she not be in the right timeline?" Adrian politely cleared his throat. "Nyt, how does this thing know that you aren't in the right timeline?"
| 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.
