Seeking 1x1 Superhero RP

I guess - preference on if you play hero or villain? Also, would you prefer your partner to play hero or villain?

I will be busy through tomorrow morning and afternoon. If you guys can wait, I can put it up in the evening.

EDIT: ...that'll teach me to refresh the page first.

Please do not sacrifice cats. As Lovecraft's favored animal, it will surely bring the wrath of Cthulhu down upon you.

Personally, looks good to me. I think ONL has to approve it to be accepted, but I like what I see.

@Revenant Writer@Nevix

Seconding these ideas myself, though also suspecting it would've been members of the upper class to initially be caught and made into livestock by the aliens, on account of being able to afford going that deep first. Many of the more powerful humans who escaped that fate have taught resentment down their family lines?

Also thinking we should make the thread now for further discussion, y/n?

Great idea, by the way!

@Revenant Writer

Hey, no problem c: And I'm certainly for the idea - old junked space stations held together by patchwork repairs from fired engineers and protected by discharged soldiers, the rich own their own moons or have them built for a private house.

@Nevix, as for my own ideas, depends on what kinda tone you guys want. For instance, genetic engineering of creatures - we go drama or very dark, rich people can pay for their own special pets to be made. Sometimes, these pets are made only to be hunted: the best of all dangerous animals, thrown together for the sake of sport. Others are distressingly human-looking, and there are even smugglers and pirates who won't associate with their owners in the name of standards. A few still escape and are capable of decimating native populations in a matter of weeks.

On the more light-hearted or comical end, good news, they made Furbies! Bad news, they made Furbies. If you ever hear Furbish on the comms, fly as fast as you can in the exact opposite direction of wherever you were headed. Even the most hardened soldiers and the most vile smugglers and space pirates will pale at the cry of a Furby.

Jeremiah Dupree

Basics

Name: Jeremiah Dupree
Nickname/title: Professor Dupree, Dr. Dupree, "The Collector", "Jerry"
Gender: Male
Age: 43
Build/physicality: Seems rather medically/physically frail despite a heavy-set stature. Keep him out of fights, but he is surprisingly flexible and will squeeze through narrow spaces without complaint. 5'5"
Appearance: Linked due to size.

Background

Psychological status: Complains frequently of a sensation of being watched (paranoia?), possible memory repression, frequent nightmares, mild ornithophobia
Quirks, ticks, conditions, sensitivities to the paranormal: Possible sensitivities to the paranormal
Magical potential: Yes, mostly in channeling and summoning (albeit has not attempted anything serious yet)
Personality: Jeremiah is the determined sort, feeling that there must be some greater underlying truth to the universe and that he must only push harder against reality to discover it. While he is much more hesitant to push this determination when others are in need of him, his own safety means little to him in the pursuit of knowledge. He is something of a bookworm, preferring older texts to more recently published works due to a belief that the sudden surge in 'science' has led people to ignoring what should be obvious patterns and truths.
Hometown: Portland, Maine
Education: Bachelor's in Anthropology from Cornell, Doctorate in Philosophy from Johns Hopkins
Occupation: Professor of Anthropology at Miskatonic
Achievements: Co-authored a paper on a near-extinct ritualistic practice occurring in Ireland while at Hopkins
Sexuality: Apparently heterosexual
Religion/philosophy: Rationalist
Marital status: Single
Family status: Parents both deceased, only child
Biographical writeup: Jeremiah Dupree (born as Emilia, before changing his name in his application to Cornell) was born the only child to a sickly mother and an uncaring father. When his mother died, his father, preferring to focus on work rather than the difficulties of child-raising, sent his child to an all-girl boarding school in New York. It was there, with no contact from his father and relatively isolated from the ones who should've been peers, that Jeremiah developed his fascination with philosophy and a desire to understand the universe as a whole. His second year led him to befriending a transfer student, Alice, and through her efforts expanding his social contacts. He never quite lost that obsession however, and used his father's wealth to pursue a bachelor's degree and doctorate. He missed his father's funeral entirely, and did not care much. His time at Cornell allowed him to travel with a professor of anthropology and discover the better hidden cultures of Africa and Europe, and he based his research at Hopkins on one group in Ireland. He even persuaded a professor and other graduate students to assist him in a venture back to observe an annual ritual - where he acquired a mask, notability in the field of research, and a fresh fear of birds. Upon receiving his doctorate, he decided to focus on more local cultures and, through rumors and ghost stories, came to Miskatonic University to teach and to study.

Good night, interest check. Sleep well. I'll most likely edit you in the morning. [tentatively reopened]

Alright, thanks for the heads-up. Enjoy the rps!

@ONL I've been considering more Professor Dupree, given the ties to Miskatonic through other players, and the fact I can pretty easily bring in Amanda Smith if Jeremiah goes insane. If there are no objections?

@Revenant Writer Heh. Not against a 1x1x1 if Nev would prefer fewer threads to keep track of ;p
