Eh, if we really need more villainous characters I could always try and toss one together.

@Rin I would personality remove the resistance to mental attacks, since I believe that's always been a common weakness for characters like Thing and Juggernaut (Hulk too maybe but I'm not really sure since I'm not as familiar with him). But if you'd rather have a weakness to an element or stone or whatever then that would be fine too.

@Double

I usually just put in a token "immune to mind control" thing for most characters I make because I just find it really uncomfortable to play. ^^; So I just added the bit about him being weak against electricity.

Masks, A Tale of Heroes (CLOSED)

OK, not gonna lie, loving the Ben Grimm vibe (seeing the word clobberin' seriously made my day), but I would personally tone down the invulnerability a bit since it sounds there's no feasible way to stop him should he ever go on a rampage, which is a bit balanced unless I'm missing something, in which case feel free to correct me.

@Double

Going to assume this one was actually aimed at me and you just put the wrong name by accident since it makes more sense that way. ^^; Anyways... Hmmm, yeah, I was a little unsure whether I was making him come off as too invulnerable or not. Hmmm...

If I threw in something he has a vulnerability to (say, lightning or something) would that work? Or should I just tone it done a bit so that he's still a lot more durable than everyone else, but to a lesser degree?

Are you volunteering to be Annette's love interest?

@Flamelord

Not really, just pointing out that in any group that includes Kuroko and Nadeshiko, no-one can be called the straight girl. XD

Also, Nadeshiko would have a similar reaction to the Sisters as Kuroko, only with more awkward mumbling.

A Certain Academic City

That's just silly... There can't be a straight girl amongst them. >.> <.<

A Certain Academic City

She's also far less single-target than Kuroko, so she can probably be distracted away from Misaka easily enough. XD

...Probably a good idea to keep her unaware of the Sisters, really.

Nadeshiko - Judgement Office

Before Nadeshiko could put her plan into action, she had found herself scooped up by the bigger girl and, unable and unwilling to put up any more resistance than a high-pitched squeak, was carried off through the streets of Academy City. She really couldn't complain, though. Sakie was so warm... And more importantly, so soft too. The tiny girl's face turned a bright scarlet as she was held against Sakie's chest...

And then she suddenly gasped in shock as they approched the door and the distinctive sound of crackling electricity accompanied by a loud accusation of perversion erupted from behind it. Suddenly, she was a whole lot more apprehensive about this... At least until Sakie opened the door and revealed that the room was filled with cute girls! Like...

...Oh, I recognize them...

Well, they probably didn't recognize her... Even if they went to the same school, she wasn't in the same class as them and she didn't really have much presence. But she immediately noticed the girl with flowers in her short hair, and the longer haired girl that just had to be her girlfriend. I mean, after she saw her flip the flower girl's skirt the other day... Actually, that kind of made them the reason she got into this whole mess in the first place! But... Since they were so cute she was willing to forgive them.

...And then there was another girl who looked familiar, but Nadeshiko couldn't quite put her finger on where from. But she was really pretty, even if she seemed kind of angry... And sparking... And... And why was there a twitching girl lying at her feet?

...Actually, this was kind of scary... Poor Nadeshiko could only tremble in Sakie's arms as she stared at the electric girl.

Masks, A Tale of Heroes (CLOSED)

Hope this is okay. ^^; If you need me to change anything let me know, okay? And I know the backstory is a bit halfassed but it at least gets the point across hopefully.

• Name: Malcolm Melvinson
• Age: 32
• Gender: Male
• Ethnicity: Hispanic
• Appearance Rough WIP sketch for now. ^^; He's about eight foot tall, has green skin and is practically made of muscle. Due to his deformations being so difficult to hide, he can't really have a secret identity.

Confidential

• Alias: Green Giant
• Costume: N/A. He doesn't really need a disguise, as his physical appearance is pretty distinctive.
• Meta-Human Power: Exposure to the chemicals has transformed Malcolm from just a regular guy into a hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength. As a result, his powers are two of the most basic superhuman powers of them all: he is strong enough to bend steel, toss cars around like toys and leap over entire city blocks in one bound, and his body is nigh-invulnerable. His invulnerability not only lets him withstand punishment that would reduce regular humans into red smears on the ground, but grants him immunity to poisons and disease; he also cannot get drunk or be chemically sedated. Somehow, the invulnerability extends to his mind as well, granting him great resistance to mind control, illusions and other mind tricks.
• Weaknesses or Side-Effects: Notably, Malcolm has been fully transformed into a freakish cyclopean green giant, which makes any attempt to hide his identity pretty much pointless. In addition, due to only having one eye he lacks depth perception. He's pretty much consigned to close-quarters fighting due to this, as even trying to throw things at his opponents will most likely result in collatoral damage due to him messing up his aim. Despite being able to shrug off things that would easily take down most humans, Malcolm possesses no special resistances to electricity and lightning, and thus will be affected by them in the same way normal humans would be.

• Personality: Despite his monstrous appearance, it's hard to think of a nicer guy than Malcolm. He's a sweet, loving guy who cares deeply for his family, his friends and the people of Modern City, and will try his hardest to protect their happiness and safety. Malcolm can be pretty jovial and has a habit of making bad puns and jokes to lighten the mood, even when things are supposed to be serious. Whilst he's willing to fight those who would ruin the peace of his beloved city, he is vehemently opposed to lethal force; not only will he refuse to use it but he will try his best to stop those who do. Those who would do harm to or even kill others are the thing he hates most in the world, and he will do whatever it takes to make them see the error of their ways... Even if he has to resort to a good old fashioned clobbering to get the point across.
• Background: Once, Malcolm was just your average guy. He grew up, did well at school, married his high school sweetheart and had a beautiful baby girl with her. Other than that, his life was pretty... Normal. Average. Uneventful. And then the accident happened. Unfortunately for Malcolm, he was rather close to the chemical explosion that led to the rise of meta-humans, and... Well, recieving such a high dose of chemicals wrecked havoc on his body. For a full week he was hospitalized as his body painfully warped and mutated, until eventually he was fully transformed into the freakish, green, hunchbacked cyclops he is now. Initially, he intended to hide away, fearing his new appearance was too hideous and that he wasn't even human anymore, but his wife managed to convince him that no matter how he looked, he was still human on the inside and would always be the man she fell in love with. With his spirit reignited, Malcolm decided that he would make the most of his new, freakish body, and try to protect the people and city he loved so dearly, as well as doing his best to prevent those who would abuse their newfound powers from harming others.
• Other: Malcolm's wife Misaki is a doctor who works at Modern City General Hospital, and their eight year old daughter Alicia attends Modern City Academy.

Masks, A Tale of Heroes (Original Superhero Universe)

Edit: I'm also having a hard thinking up a good name for a local rock band.

@Double

Let's see... Death Jester? The Debasers? The Modern Day Kings?

I may or may not keep a stash of random band name ideas lying around. >.> <.<

Masks, A Tale of Heroes (Original Superhero Universe)

Sometimes it's nice to have a reasonable authority figure, so I'd suggest that the mayor at least isn't corrupt. Maybe some of their lower downs could be, but yeah.

Kind of want to suggest a scientist who has morally and ethically dubious thoughts about the meta-humans, and maybe an outspoken local preacher who thinks that they're... Some kind of sign from God, although not sure whether it would be for good or ill. Hmmm. Just random ideas, I guess. ^^;

There totally needs to be a local rock band that started to get more media attention when one of their members was outed as a meta-human, though.
