Nice post Rockette, I'll make one tomorrow.
Name:

Darrek Washington


Age:

26


Gender:

Male


Appearance:



Side:

inFamous


Personality:

While not as rage filled or psychotic as other inFamous people, his utter lack of empathy for collateral damage caused by his powers and tendency to take the easiest route to his adjective as possible which may endanger innocents definitely earns him a spot. Before D.U.P. Derrek was an alright guy, never really did any good or bad. However when they began to round up people he became bitter and angry. He eventually got over it but his neutral personality was replaced by cruel indifference.


Biography:

There isn't much to say about Derrek's past before D.U.P. He was your average joe. He went to work, he paid his bills, and he had some decent friends. However when he discovered his conduit powers everything changed. Derrek found himself out of a job, shunned by his girlfriend, and hated by his friends. The only solace he found was in the company of other Conduits. With them he was happy, more so than he had been for years. He could show off and just be himself without worring about what someone would think. It was all pretty relaxing to be honest. Then D.U.P. came.

One day they showed up and started taking his friends. At first it was unnoticable, some guy here and a gal there. Nothing to worry about, but soon it got worse. Soon people were dragged out of their homes and called "Bio-Terrorist" and stripped of all their rights. In retaliation he fought back, never too hard and no one ever died but it was enough to make D.U.P. bring down the hammer. Before he knew it, Derrek was surrounded by D.U.P. soldiers while the last of his friends either were captured or put down. Filled with an anger he never knew he had, Derrek unleashed the biggest explosion he had ever created and leveled the little town he grew up in.

It took days to regain consciousness, many more to regain his barrings. Near death, Derrek fought on and eventually came back stronger and more pissed off than ever. Now he holds his own brand of vigilante justice against those he feels have wronged him. The hate eventually ran its course but the damage was done, Derrek was now a shell of his former self. A twisted body of vengeance and conflict that leaves destruction in its wake.


Power:

Explosion Manipulation, absorbs energy from heat and pressure. Manifests itself as a yellow energy that glows with a brilliant light.


Power Abilities

Explosive fists: The explosive energy covers his fists and gives them the power to add explosions to his melee strikes. Causes massive internal damage if not outright death.

Rocket: A bolt of energy about the size of a foot ball launches out of Derreks hand and explodes on contact with any surface with an AoE of about five feet but can be charged to make larger explosions.

Boom Jump: Slamming his feet onto the ground, Derrek launches himself high into the air while leaving behind a small explosion.

Bombs Away: Wrapping himself in explosive energy, Derrek collides with the ground and creates an explosion twenty feet in diameter. However with the addition of even more height the resulting explosion is much larger.


Other:

Wants the Syndicate destroyed and isn't too picky about whose company he keeps to see that goal finished.
I'm game.
Howdy, saw the interest check and can say I'm interested. Should I just make a character?
Saw the interest check and If your still taking than I would be interested in this.
Name: Michael "Mike" Bowens, doesn't know it however.

Alias: Tarantula

Age: 19

Powers:


Skills: None to note however his savage fighting style makes him unpredictable in a fight.

Appearance:


Personality: Simple, reclusive, and a little self conscious of his looks. Mike isn't one to judge people, living in the sewers and being a monster would lead to that. However he doesn't let the fact that most people would rather run and shoot than stay for a talk get him down and is in fact one of the nicest people you could meet. However he isn't known to be gentle with people who hurt children or take advantage of the downtrodden.

History: Before Mike was Tarantula, he was a high school graduate with a desperate need for money. When the opportunity to get some extra bucks came, Mike jumped at the chance and signed up for some experimental research in mutation. While keeping it a secret from his family, Mike was subjected to many experiments by Oscorp. in an effort to make "spider men" for most likely nefarious purposes. The experiments never really went anywhere and the project was about to be debunked if they didn't make any headway soon. Several days later the head scientist, desperate for results, pumped Mike with much more serum than was safe and caused a reaction that would change his life forever but ending theirs. The massive influx of serum caused Mike to change into Tarantula, losing his memory in the process and causing him to rage out of the lab.

The damages were great and Mike is now officially dead in the eyes of the united states government, along with the scientists close to the lab. Since than Mike has been keeping to the sewers, only leaving at night to prowl the streets and fulfill his need for movement and heroism.

Other:
-While technically a hero, Tarantula has no problem simply killing a villain and being done with it.
-Along those lines Tarantula steals meat, clothes, and shiny baubles that catch his eye. He justifies it by saying that most places wouldn't let him in the door.
-Ever so often, usually when the smell of blood fills the air, Tarantula's mind will revert back to baser instincts and act upon a simple animal logic.
Hmm, I'd be interested in this.
"I'll need to beat you at something tonight, so drinking it is."


As he watched Aeris leave, Tetsu stayed behind for a second to check on the eggs one last time. Tetsu let out a sigh of relief when the readings told him the eggs were fine. With nothing left to do, Tetsu decided to make good on his claim and gave Khan an affectionate head pat before leaving the incubators. Passing through the gardens and giving a respectful bow to Lady Samsarah, Tetsu caught up with Aeris and playfully nudged her side as he said "I take showers you know, just with the lights off."

As the two made their way to the "bar" Tetsu ordered the first round of drinks. Nothing too strong but if he was going to drink the day away than he is going to do it right. Pouring a shot for the both of them, Tetsu raised his glass in cheers as he engaged a special feature of his armor. Before he raised the glass to his lips, Tetsu's armor around his mouth pulled away and showed his pale skin that lay underneath.

There were several scars just along the lips and chin. Some nasty cuts or ragged burns, but the most noticeable was the large surgical scars that ran along the corners of his mouth and back to where the molars lay. Without reengaging his armor, Tetsu poured another glass and drowned it down effortlessly.
Ok, I've been putting this off for awhile. I'm workin on a post.
