There is really no point in denying it, so I'll just say he is pretty much a ripoff of various Kamen Riders. XD

Second hero, hopefully will write up some villains soon-ish. This one is a complete transparent expy really, but oh well. ^^;

Name: Ishinomori Yoshi. After recieving involuntarily cybernetic modifications, he has became known as the super cyborg Hopper King.

Age: Somewhere in his 40s. Physically 20.

Gender: Male

Appearance: Now in glorious technicolour!

Personality: Despite being transformed against his will, it seems like Yoshi was born to be a hero. He has a strong sense of justice and will not tolerate evildoers, and this coupled with his hotblooded nature and his overdramatic stylings whilst operating as Hopper King make him seem like a true comic book hero. Despite his boisterous nature, Yoshi is actually rather intelligent; before his conversion he was at university studying advanced biochemistry, and he has a flair for mechanics too. Aside from justice, his number one love in life is motorcycles, and if he's not out fighting evil he is most likely fixing up his bike.

Skills: Yoshi is a skilled unarmed fighter, his fighting prowess honed over two decades of superheroics. He is notably rather intelligent, having majored in advanced science as well as being a pretty good mechanic. Surprisingly, he's a pretty good cook, to the point that the occassional jokes he makes about eventually settling down and opening a steak restaurant seem like something that could actually happen. Yoshi is fully fluent in both Japanese and English.

Abilities: Even without transforming into Hopper King, Yoshi's cyborg body makes him stronger than most men (reaching the peak of human ability, making him much stronger than his slight frame would imply). Many of his organs have either been replaced or enhanced by cybernetics; he possesses a second bionic heart which increases the efficiency of his bloodflow and allows his muscles to work longer and harder, his lungs have been replaced by cybernetic ones that filter out toxins and allow him to operate in low-oxygen environments, his bionic eyes allow him to see both infrared and ultraviolet in addition to giving him excellent low-light vision, his ears grant him a degree of superhearing as well as giving him perfect balance and near-immunity to motion sickness, and he is able to operate at peak efficiency with only three hours of sleep per day.

By revealing the belt fused to his body, spinning the gear on the buckle, performing an elaborate series of hand gestures and yelling "HENSHIN!", Yoshi transforms into the super cyborg, Hopper King! Well, the last two steps aren't actually necessary but he thinks it makes him look cool and after all these years no-one wants to question him about it anymore. With a burst of light, his armour suddenly appears over his body, increasing his durability to the point that not only will small arms fire not affect him, but he can be caught in the middle of a moderately sized explosion and survive, even though this will take a lot out of him. His already formidable strength is boosted to superhuman levels, allowing him to bend steel bars and, with a little strain, lift small cars over his head. Most notable in this respect, however, is the increase of strength in his legs; not only does this grant him the ability to jump over houses in a single bound, but it understandably makes his kicks really, really hurt. His helmet enhances his senses even more, the bug-like eyes increasing the range of his vision, protecting him from blinding lights and allowing him to see clearly even in complete darkness. The antennae act as a sort of radar, allowing him to detect the presence of others and giving him a sort of sixth sense that makes it very difficult to take him by surprise.

Equipment: Yoshi tends to fight unarmed, preferring to use his cyborg strength rather than any weaponry to take down opponents. However, he does have one notable piece of equipment: His custom motorcycle, the Mach Tornado, which has been modified with a powerful rocket engine that allows it to move many times faster than a regular motorcycle.

Brief Backstory: For over two decades, the super cyborg Hopper King has fought for justice with such passion and zeal that it is no wonder that he has become Japan's most famous and celebrated hero. But before he became Hopper King, he was Ishinomori Yoshi, university student, amateur motorcycle mechanic and superhero fanboy. Whilst he idolized the heroes that he saw on the news, and watched in anime and tokusatsu shows, he never thought he would one day be one himself. And if he did, he would probably have prefered to become one via a different method... One day, over twenty years ago, Yoshi was returning from a night class only to suddenly be accosted and knocked unconscious by an unknown assailant. When he woke up, he was strapped to an operating table in room he didn't recognize. As it turned out, the university he had been attending had been infiltrated by Ordo Scientifica, who were searching for candidates to transform into powerful cyborg soldiers to serve their purposes. Against his will, Yoshi had been modified into an enhanced human, supposedly the first in a line of warriors who would follow the orders of OS unquestionably. By some quirk of fate, though, he had awoken before the final, most delicate procedure could be initiated, mental programming to brainwash him into being unswervingly loyal to OS, and as soon as he realized that something sinister was afoot he quickly made his escape, his new cyborg body and the element of surprise giving him the upperhand against those who had turned him into this.

Realizing that he needed to make the most of his unfortunate circumstances, Yoshi began using his cybernetic body as a weapon against those who would do injustice, becoming just like the heroes he had always admired, and over the years his fame as the super cyborg Hopper King has increased. Currently, he is easily Japan's most well known and beloved hero, as well as a member of both the IFJ and Japan's premier superhero team, Chouriki Action. Due to the sudden influx of worldwide villains arriving in Greenfield, Yoshi has headed there to investigate just what is going on. Soon, very soon, those who would do injustice in the pleasant midwestern city would have to face the righteous fists of the super cyborg, Hopper King!

Eh, me and Vita have had some... Bad experiences on other sites, so we're both a bit overly cautious sometimes. ^^; She didn't mean any offence by it, though. We both sometimes forget that people on RPG tend to be actually reasonable due to past experiences elsewhere, unfortunately. XD

But anyways, I like the cast so far. It looks like we'll have a lot of fun with this RP. ^_^

All in a Day's Work: A Superhero RP

I think she just wanted you to confirm that you understood that, really. Although since you clearly do there's really no problem anymore I guess. XD

I like the power idea, by the way. It's a pretty original take on teleportation, really, and kind of neat..

All in a Day's Work: A Superhero RP

...I think I wrote too much for OS, since their entry is bigger than all the other ones combined. D: Why do I overdo things like that? XD

All in a Day's Work: A Superhero RP

You need to update the organization entries, Vita. XD

Also clearly Zeta is the best robot.

Whilst I work on my other characters, have an organization. Think of them as basically our equivalent to Advanced Idea Mechanics, I guess. Also, I went over this with Vita, so one of the things mentioned near the end is something she agreed with so yeah. ^^;

Name: Ordo Scientifica

Description: An organization composed entirely of mad scientists and science-based supervillains who aspire to overthrow the current order and conquer the world via scientific and technological means. They attempt to do so via a two-pronged assault, operating both internally and externally. Whilst some of them try blatant world domination schemes (such as holding cities to random with electro-rays and robotic legions), others infiltrate the existing power structures of the world from within to slowly corrupt them towards their ends (as of yet, however, very little fruit has been born of these efforts). In addition, they often operate as arms dealers and technological backers for other supervillain groups, as well as terrorist cells and revolutionaries. Unlike a lot of other supervillain groups, OS is run as though it was a business, with each of its members recieving funding for their operations in return for a cut of any profits they should make.

In order to advance their goals, they have set up several front organizations promoting scientific advancement, most notable being the Genesis Corporation, a conglomerate who dabble in almost every area of science and technology. Whilst it is public knowledge that the president of the Genesis Corporation, Hayato Ryuunosuke, is something of an eccentric, the fact that he is not only a member of OS but has a seat on their high council is currently unknown.

Whilst OS tends to give their members free reign over their operations, ultimately they are ran by a high council who occassionally issue objectives for them to fulfil. Every year, OS members have their operations evaluated by the high council and if they are found to be not pulling their weight they will have their funding cut, something that can cripple many a mad scientists ambitions. Aside from Ryuunosuke, the high council's most prominent members are the mad geneticist Dr. Mangler, the self-proclaimed "retro" scientist Clockwork, the disembodied Headmaster and the overly flamboyant technomage Princess Ether. Chief amongst them though is the supreme leader and founder of OS, Warmonger, a cyborg who is more machine than man, practically worships technology and believes that flesh is inherently weak. Whilst his ultimate goal of replacing all biological matter with machinery is well known to the world at large, he is still a surprisingly effective leader and thus OS have not seen much reason to try and oust him from the position as of yet. Warmonger shares an ongoing rivalry with Lord Fatal, the leader of ARROW, with the two constantly trying to outdo each other; whilst the two organizations have never been openly opposed to each other as of yet, some theorize that it is only a matter of time before the forces of villainy erupt into a civil war of sorts.

So... Our heroes include a zombie, a wolfman, a vampire, a witch and a robot (which could arguably be classed as an advanced golem or something).

I think we're just a mummy and a fishman short of a good old fashioned Monster Mash. ^_^

It is 03:35 so if this is a mess then that is why and I will clean it up after I've slept. ^^;

Name: Zeta

Age: First activated almost three years ago.

Gender: N/A. Zeta is not anatomically correct, and currently does not identify as either gender.

Appearance: Casual and superhero outfit.

Personality: Zeta was designed primarily for law enforcement and not social interaction, leading them to come off as rather awkward and, as some would put it, "dorky" when talking with others. However, they try their best to fit in with humans; being programmed to not only serve them but to protect and defend human life above all else, Zeta is fascinated by them and wishes they could be more like them. In addition to not being anatomically correct (such parts not being seen as needed for a law enforcement robot), Zeta currently does not identify as either gender, although they are often thought to ressemble either a tomboyish girl or a girlish boy depending from person to person. As an extension of this, Zeta does not exactly understand romance, and is often confused by the entire concept. Finally, due to her programming Zeta puts the preservation of human life above all else, and at times can come off as somewhat selfless at best and suicidally self-sacrificing at worst.

Skills: Zeta is skilled in both long range and close-quarters combat, with a heavy emphasis on non-lethal takedowns.

Abilities: Being a robot, Zeta is much stronger and more durable than any human. Their "skin" is in fact an experimental polymer, tough enough to withstand small arms fire, and their mechanical muscles allow Zeta to easily lift cars above their head with no noticable effort. Zeta's eyes can switch between infrared, x-ray and heat-sensitive vision, and their sense of hearing is not only more sensitive than a human's but it is able to filter out sounds, allowing for greater clarity of hearing. Naturally, as they do not need to breathe Zeta can operate rather comfortably in locations humans would find lethal, such as within poison gas or in a vacuum. Zeta is powered by an experimental fusion reactor, which can keep them running for practically forever; in the event of Zeta being severely damaged, the reactor will shut itself off to prevent any catastrophic reactions. Stored inside their head is a nigh-invulnerable, EMP-resistant black box that contains all of Zeta's memories and personality subroutines, allowing them to be placed into a new body should the old one be damaged beyond repair.

Equipment: When the need arises for additional protection, nanomachines erupt from under their "skin" and form Zeta's armour so quickly that it seems more like an instantaneous transformation rather than an act of donning armour. As well as enhancing their durability, the armour also grants them a boost to their already inhuman strength; thankfully they have such precision control that they will not accidently crush anyone they are trying to save or apprehend to death. Affixed to Zeta's left arm is their primary weapon, the Zeta Buster, which fires out a blast of concussive energy. Rather than burning, cutting or puncturing an opponent, it instead can be compared to basically a heavy, long-ranged punch. The Zeta Buster arm is modular, and can be replaced with other weapons such as a grappling hook, a cannon that creates a localized high gravity field or a close-combat attachment.

Brief Backstory: Zeta was originally intended to be the second in line of a series of robots intended to aid law enforcement, programmed with all manner of ethical subroutines and advanced problem-solving capabilities in order to achieve the best results in potentially hostile situations. However, the AI designed for Zeta turned out to be not only more advanced than originally intended, but completely revolutionary; whilst they are still bound by their programming (especially Asimov's Three Laws) and thus not truly possessed of free will, they come so close to it that arguments and controversy surrounding the moral and ethical ramifications of using such a machine as basically a slave brought the project to a grinding halt, leaving Zeta as only one of two models fully constructed. Despite how much controversy sprung up around them, Zeta's selflessness and passion for justice quickly gained them many fans, and whilst they are not exactly an A-list superhero right now, their star is quickly rising as they apprehend supervillain after supervillain. Recently, Zeta was inducted into the IFJ, although this event has caused the UHF to step up their campaigning against the IFJ; it was one thing when they were just accepting superhumans, but to them accepting a non-human robot like Zeta is going way too far.
