I'll be going on a two week vacation starting tomorrow and don't know how often I'll have Internet access. Thank you for your patience. I'll try to be more regular when I get back.

@VitaVitaAR and @Rin, Blackmoon Witch and Zeta are accepted.

@Scarifar, I'm sorry to see you go, best of luck in your other RP's and/or real life.

@Dead Cruiser, so if the Star Vampire is infused in an individual's DNA, does that DNA get passed on to the host's children? Or are do the children only get it after the Star Vampire chooses one to become its next host? And how long has the Star Vampire been on Earth? On the one hand, I'm reluctant to have an entire expanding bloodline of metahumans, on the other hand, evil long-lost cousins or brothers or parents make good villains.
My idea is for something like a less malevolent version of the C'Tan from Warhammer. Imagine a race of energy beings that live inside of and feed on stars. Perhaps due to their parasitic nature, they stay under the radar in regards to the Canon, and as such are unknown to the Jarav.

From here on my ideas are a little hazy, and I could use some help ironing them out. Perhaps with the arrival of the Jarav, the Star Vampire saw its secrecy within Sol as jeopardized, and fled to hide within a human form. Potentially, it has been literally inside of humans for generations, resulting in a long line of metahumans with its power within them. Thoughts, or better ideas?

So your hero would, like Superman, be solar-powered? I think that would be fine. What other powers would this lineage give? For some more galactic backstory, each arm of the Milky Way Galaxy has been assigned a caretaker species by the Canon. The Jarav have been caretakers of the Sagitarrius arm for a few thousands of years, their creators were the caretakers before that. Does your alien only inhabit the stars of non-canonized species in order to avoid detection, and move on once the Jarav presence becomes more focused? And for some reason, instead of fleeing to another star, this particular one chose to remain on Earth. Would it have possessed a human, living as a symbiote, and transferring itself to its child/children if/when the parent died, or did it manifest a human body and live life as a human, mating and giving its powers to its child/children? Since it's only been 30 years since the Jarav made themselves known, and thus become fully invested in Earth, your alien lineage might only be two generations long (alien parent and half-alien child).

I can think of potential reactions the Canon might have should they ever discover that a parasitic, solar energy devouring species was ever discovered. If the amount of energy drained is insignificant with respect to the total energy output (AKA lifespan) of the star, the Canon may choose to classify it as a non-threat. If it is significant, well, we might have another galactic purge on our hands. For the greater good, and all that.

Hmm, well, I could change that but I'd think making it just vibrations would kind of get rid of the "blast" part of "Blast Girl".

I was kind of running off of non-real-world logic when I came up with a new form of explosive nonlethal energy for her the first time, um.

And I suppose I can cut the Horrors then, I'm a little sad since it drops one of Charlotte's villains but she has a lot of others.

I wouldn't worry about the whole vibrations thing, but maybe there would be other materials resistant to her blast, for example, gel-like substances, so a villain for Blast Girl may be someone who uses a lot of gels, and sets up 'sticky' situations. So like a weakness. Anyways, consider Blast Girl accepted, you can put her in the Characters tab.

Sorry about the starfish. Maybe instead of them being tied to space-alien demonic beings, that they are associated to some purely magical, mythological or religious demonic being? For example, let's say the starfish are a form of 'hellspawn'. The witch who summoned them would claim that she performed a ritual, and Satan himself granted these minions to her. While no one can disprove that these starfish came from Satan, the witch herself also cannot definitively prove that these starfish came from Satan, or even from Hell for that matter because she claims Satan always 'refuses' to show himself. Basically, the way magic works is we sort of just have to take the magic-user's word for it because magic in this world has a weird way of not letting itself be proven or disproven.
No worries, I just wanted to make sure that you had all the information to make an informed decision.
Ach, alignment is a better word. And yes, anyone who's not clearly a hero or villain falls into the neutral category.
Hero, Villain, or Neutral. The CS template also has them color-coded.
I also added a 'role' entry to the CS, please specify your character's role since we're going to have a lot of characters, it might help to have the color pop out at us while we scroll through the long character tab.
@VitaVitaAR concerning Blast Girl, I've pretty much accepted the character, though I might want to ask you to change a tiny thing. Can the explanation for the cartridges be so that they contain some sort of vibrational energy? Because not harming living cells ssems a little 'too intelligent' for something that is just a force. I think 'vibration' works because vibrations tend to do more damage to harder surfaces, and significantly less damage to materials with fluid properties, including flesh. Just a suggestion, but otherwise, consider Blast Girl accepted. As for meta-type, I forgot to come up with a designation for people who use tools. So I'm going to need to create subcategories. If you're tools are science based, the you are Human - Neotool user. If you use magical tools, then you are Human - Paratool user. Overtools don't exist (at least I hope not...eww), even if they did, they would be Neotools at that point. Alien technology is Neotool if the aliens are scientific aliens, paratools if the aliens are magical aliens.

As for the starfish, I think it might be pretty hard to work in. The preceptors are loathe to separate into smaller bits so will not 'create' anything from themselves. Their 'psychic mass' is finite, even their 'bodies' are sort of just tangible projections and cost little to no psychic mass to maintain, that are, at any rate ,still connected to the main 'mass' and not really separate. Creating or spawning an aggressive starfish creature (or multiple such creatures) with the ability to merge with its victims and eventually gain a will of its own would require an amount of psychic mass no Preceptor would be willing to part with. Also, even though Saybrook has lost it, Annatar keeps him on a pretty tight leash.

It might be better if I just left the preceptors out of it, so if Charlotte or her villain was the one responsible for creating these starfish, it might be more feasible.

EDIT: Also to everyone else, don't worry if all this talk about preceptors is confusing, they won't even really matter until much later in the RP.
I got my post up. I also have the OOC for the superhero RP up. Please take a look at it and make your final decision, and I'll stop pestering you about it. Although I guess 11 players might be a lot.
Solomon saw Claire and Israfil leave, "Tch, how'd they get to become soldiers if they can't even handle a little blood on their hands?" He took a long look at Blythe, reconsidering his assessment of her. She was brave, heck, she was willing to stand up to him even after he had used mind control on her and she seemed unfazed by combat. "I'll have to admit, you're stronger than they are."

Israfil stopped when he realized Claire was following him. He turned to look at her, bleary-eyed. He tried to blink back the tears. "W-we're soldiers...I mean...I should have been prepared for it. I guess simulations are different, aren't they? B-but we're defending our country, defending our families...I'm sorry!" Israfil suddenly bowed. "I didn't know what you were feeling, and made light of your situation!"
@Cinderella Man, thank you for your interest in this RP, but unfortunately, I got all the players I needed in the interest check, and applications are closed. I'll let you know if there are any openings.
