I Wanna be a Saikyou HERO! [One-Punch Man Inspired] [Magical Girls, Ninjas, Metahumans and more!]

Meanwhile, at St. Jude's Home for the Parentally Disadvantaged in C-District, the children were packing their meagre belongings for what looked to be an overnight stay at the emergency shelter under the watchful eye of Sister Rosaline Seaver. A cheerful, rosy-cheeked woman in her early 40's, Seaver had taken over the orphanage when her predecessor had died in a supervillain attack three years prior, and did her level best to care for her charges. It wasn't always easy- the roof was wearing out, the thermostat was on the fritz, and expenses seemed to rise by the month, but somehow things held together.

There came a knock at the door. Visitors, during an evacuation? Or perhaps it was someone checking in to make sure they heard the notice? Whoever it was, it wouldn't be polite to keep them waiting. Sister Seaver shuffled to the door, throwing it wide and putting on her best smile.

"Terribly sorry, but I'm afraid the children are packing up at the-"

Sister Rosalind Seaver collapsed into Professor Neuro's arms.

"Worry not, mein leibchen-", the professor said as he he plucked a dart from the woman's neck, passing her off to one of his Neurones, "-Your children will be plenty safe in my lab. Until I've need of them, at least."

"Neurones!", the professor barked, "Find and capture all sapient lifeforms within the building and return to me. Sensors detect eleven in total."

Their mission clear, the Neurones marched into the building in pairs, cattle prods and tranquilizer guns at ready.

Professor Neuro toyed with a scalpel as he watched the announcement. He sighed as the screen cut to a technical difficulties message and glared at the freshly-painted ceiling of his lab.

"Just when I'd finished remodeling, too. I suppose it can't be helped."

He glanced at the nearest Neurone and snapped his fingers. The creature, standing at exactly six feet tall and clad in maroon spandex with what appeared to be an outdated gas mask covering the entirety of the head, stood at attention. Neuro pointed to a nearby closet.

"My coat, if you would be so kind."

Standing, Neuro snatched the freshly-retrieved labcoat from his minion, shrugging it on as he strolled towards an access lift. Twenty or so Neurones fell into step behind him, prepared to serve their master come hell or high water. After his minions had entered the lift, Neuro turned to face them.

"Now then, since our heroes are, at the moment, preoccupied, I propose we all take this time to gather some raw materials. Any objections?"
"EEE!"
"Excellent."

Neuro flipped a series of levers on a nearby control panel, and the lift began to ascend.

"To the orphanage, then."

Professor Neuro

Name:
Dr. h.c. mult. Nikolaus Graham, RNDr MVDr M.D. etc.

Alias:
Professor Neuro

Age:
103

Gender:
Male

Alignment:
Villain

Appearance

Personality
Neuro is a capricious, cowardly, mean-spirited creature defined mostly by his complete and utter lack of respect for human life.

Powers:
Kaijin: Neuro's greatest talent, and the one his parent organization makes the greatest use of, is his ability to quickly create various monsters, mutants, cyborgs, and assorted half-men collectively referred to as kaijin, which are generally a match for your average hero. Neuro normally uses humans as the basis for these creatures, though the majority are so far gone that destroying them is the only option.

Neurones: In addition to the human-based kaijin, Neuro also has an entourage of disposable minions created from lab-grown tissues, medical waste, and left over cybernetics, known as Neurones. They're not very bright, and their combat ability is on the level of an average human, but they are both numerous and fanatically loyal.

Cybernetics: Neuro himself is no slouch in a combat situation, having modified himself to become a powerful combat cyborg capable of matching most superhumans in a straight fight- he's got the standard suite of superhuman strength, toughness, speed, and fighting prowess. Notably, being almost entirely mechanical, his stamina is effectively limitless. His body also grants him a number of useful powers, such as the ability to directly interface with machinery, greatly enhanced senses, and the ability to reconfigure himself into a variety of specialized forms.

Weapons:
Aldo: An arming sword, kept as a momento from his years in Germany. It has no particular powers, but he's infuratingly skilled at using it to parry attacks.
Additionally, he has a number of weapons embedded in his body, primarily electrical or chemical in nature.

Fighting Style:
Cold and calculating, Neuro's cybernetic parts allow him to dodge and parry attacks with effortless grace as he searches for an opening in his opponent's defense, striking with great force and precision- assuming he ever sticks around long enough to actually fight, that is.

Signature Moves:
With incredible speed and practiced efficiency, Neuro hits his panic button, calling Neurones and half-finished kaijin to his aid. He then runs away while the hero or heroes are distracted.

History:
Born in Neo-Germany just before the seventeenth world war, Nikolaus grew up in a land without pride or purpose. Frustrated with poor quality of life, constant disappointment, and one of the third or fourth worst economic depressions in the history of mankind, he did what any disenfranchised youth does: He turned to politics. Specifically, he joined up with the Neo-German Socialist Cyborgs Party.

Over the course of his time with the party, he gradually worked his way up through the ranks, eventually becoming an officer in the Schutzstaffel and assistant to Mecha Mengele. There, he discovered his talent for medicine- specifically surgical procedures- while performing experiments on human subjects. Here, also, was where he began experimenting with "proactive self-improvement", as it were.

Fleeing Neo-Germany after WWXVIII, he created a new face and a new name, reinventing himself as the mercenary mad scientist Professor Neuro, purveyor of purpose-built monsters. Currently, he is on payroll for one of the city's largest crime magnates, Papa Labrazio. Neuro's job, simply put, is to keep heroes and the police too busy to shut down organized crime, allowing the mob to operate with relative ease.

Skills:
-Effectively superhuman surgical skills
-Speaks French and German
-Remarkably talented landscape painter
-Skilled pianist

Weaknesses:
-Poor at fending off large numbers of opponents in hand-to-hand combat
-Finds direct confrontation distasteful
-Secret lab has notoriously subpar restraining devices and containment facilities, refuses to invest in better ones for some reason

Nemesis:
N/A

Story Arc Ideas:
A hero's loved one is kidnapped by Neurones as raw material for the Professor's next kaijin. Now it's a race against time to find his lab before the procedure can take place!

Other:
Nothing at the moment

@SilverDawn I assumed that was a typo. Fixed, then.

I prefer IRC.

Multiversal RP

Generally the idea of a crossover game is to play around with a setting or character you like. Kamen Rider is a pretty common one, for example. Having people play original characters that are tied to a preexisting setting forces them to be somewhat more creative than just picking Saber or whoever, while also keeping things grounded in a given setting on some level so you don't have cyborg vampire wizard demigods running around. I mean, barring someone bringing in a setting that actually has cyborg vampire wizard demigods.

Joining up just to have your super special character from your super special original universe travel across planes of existence and punch random people in the face kind of feels like missing the point but I guess that might just be me.

Anyway, expressing interest.

Magica and Machina

Well, the concept was a guy who desperately wanted to be good at magic, but didn't have the raw power for it, so he built an amplifier to make up for his lack of raw power. If the amplifier armor isn't allowed, I guess I'd have to scrap my guy entirely, so I might as well bail since I'm not really a huge fan of railroady games anyway.
Have fun.

Magica and Machina

So Magica isn't energy, it's... different energy? Life energy? Life energy that is also every other form of energy and somehow not present in a natural material that exists entirely to be all the energy?
Frankly speaking I'm not following your logic here.

Magica and Machina

@Desire But in the OP it says:

In addition, a rare material called Cortex is used as a powerful supply of energy. It works like a battery. It has the ability to replicate any form of energy, and has it's own unique, powerful energy, and the usable form is kept in crystal shards.

And, as Magica is a form of energy, would Cortex not be able to replicate it even if it couldn't shape said energy into a usable form?
