2099: The World of Tomorrow (A Futuristic Superhero RPG)

[Shoryu]

Here is the 'still rough draft phase' Alpha Flight stuff I'm working on, along with the CS for the character I intend to use among them, I'm goin ahead and posting them incase anyone has objections they'd like to share, or suggestions for something to make 'better' =3 I'll be away for a while cause of dinner and such, meaning, taking a break from the character designing XD I'll add in his bio and Sample post sometime later tonight.



Alpha Flight, The Collection of Soldiers who Under-go Genetic Enhancement, both minor and extreme, to ensure the safety and survival of the people of 'The Second Nation'.

Alpha Flight Consists of a Number of Different branches, to better organize their forces, though their numbers are not as vast as many Armies may be, They make up for it for it in Shere determination and loyalty, Highly polished Teamwork, and of course, Technology and Genetical Modification to Enhance the effectiveness of each and every soldier.

The Command Branch of Alpha Flight, This Branch contains the Elite Minds of the Alpha Flight, though that doesn't mean those in other branches can't be equally as intelligent and skilled of course, The Heads of the other branches are actually included in Alpha Prime, as well as those of unique High Ranking positions.

The Scientific Branch of Alpha Flight, the collection of revolutionary minds who's work is the very basis of Alpha Flight's Genetic Enhancement capabilities, and are responsible for Effective improvements to the Group as a whole.

This Branch also includes those with powerful or inventive minds, Even a standard soldier may be listed as part of the Alpha Science Branch due to presenting Potentially useful ideas.

The Standard branch of Heavily Enhanced Soldiers, 'Alpha Military'

Those of this branch are only mildly numerous, but are those who Opted for Standard Genetic Enhancement Treatments and Took to the process very effectively, thus gaining Effectively Super human physical capabilities.

Members of this branch vary in terms of the balance of their strengths, but It's quite common for one to be considerably larger than a Standard human, but they vary just as much as any other, including those who are unnaturally fast.

Heavy armor and Weapons normally unwieldable by human hands are common in this Branch.

The Standard branch of Mildly Enhanced Soldiers.

These are those who Took on Standard Genetic treatment but only Resulted in Mild Enhancement, though they don't often 'look' it, they are usually 2 - 3 factors stronger and faster than a standard human, just not enough to qualify as part of Alpha Mi.

The equipment for this Branch is often only a little above standard for a military institution, and they still 'always' operate in teams.

Note: Some soldiers in the Special branches may be listed under multiple Branches due to developing abilities relating to several at once.

To describe it simply, if you some how don't know what it means, this branch is the designation for those who Opted for Special Genetic modification and resulted in awakening powerful Psionic Abilities.

These may range from mental communication, to Psychokinesis, to being able to 'attack' the minds of their enemies.

Note: Psychic powers cannot 'create' things, though they could produce illusions and the like. As such, something like 'pyrokinesis' for instance, would only 'manipulate' fire, it cannot create, but it could take an already existent fire and make it stronger or control it in certain ways.

The Assault Branch of Alpha flight is the designation for those with Extreme Physical Results, making them idea for shattering Enemy lines and going toe to toe with powerful enemies.

Members of this branch often possess some form of incredibly physical Strength, Endurance, or sometimes speed, though speed is much more common in the Stealth branch. Strong physical Regeneration is not uncommon in this branch either, nor are other forms of 'breaking the line'.

Equipment of course Varies by specialty, though explosives are not uncommon, neither are Melee and close-range weapons.

The Stealth branch, as it sounds, contains those who would be capable of Covert Ops, whether it's an assassination, infiltration and espionage, or simply sneaking around and planting booby traps.

The capabilities vary considerably for this branch, though it's rare to have both Stealth and Assault mixed.

The members of this branch often develop some unique form of genetic power, though the capabilities vary greatly from one person to another, it includes examples ranging from developing plant like extensions [tendrils] that can be used to attack with, to Developing the ability to control 'heat' in one's body, producing enough to combust air and 'throw fireballs', among other possibilities.

The Toughest of the Tough. The Super Soldier branch often pertains to those with unimagineable physical strength and durability, the type you expect to run head-long into a tank and wind. They are often huge in some way or another and possess incredible Strength and physical durability. Though not always 'slow and dumb' obviously, It is most common for someone to simply be 'physically' incredible.

The Unpredictables, This branch contains those of 'questionable' genetic stability, most namely, those who's Genetic enhancement is on-going and unending, the process started and became it's own catalyst, triggering a steady flow of new changes over-time.

This branch was born once Alpha Flight's methods managed to stabilize this unique Genetic 'mistake' to avoid the steady genetic changing causing potentially fatal or psychotic results.

Essentially, those in this branch will continue to develop and change over-time, and often hold classifications in several other branches as well due to their capabilities.

However, they also have a harder time due to the steady changes, though they often may take weeks or months for any drastic change to appear, it is quite stessful to worry that any day you could suddenly pop up an ability you can't control and end up hurting someone.

Character You Would Like to Play: Telo Shedevr [Also known as 'Wild Card 3: The Beast']

Character Alignment (Hero, Villain, or Walking the Line): Hero

Appearance/Costume: He's quite the 'beast' of a man, standing at close to 7 feet tall, ripe with strength and Animal qualities, all results of Drastically Advanced Genetic Enhancement.

He generally has little interest in clothing due to his size, however, when expecting to be 'out of combat' for a prolonged, period, he 'does' have some loose casual cloths, as well as a 'business suit' type of out-fit for when he may by some miracle end up dealing with the 'posh righ guy' types and need to make a more 'human' impression.

Origin/History of Your Character and Their Personality:

Telo tries his best to act normal, though it stands as fact that the Advanced level of Genetic Alteration he's undertaken, and the progressive Genetic Mutations taking place, have affected him in various permanent ways. Though he 'is' quite capable of acting like a normal man as long as he focuses, he still shows various unusual behaviours under certain circumstances, growling when threatened or challenged, 'smelling' things out of habit, a 'fuzzy' reaction to explosions and excitement. This is no indicator of his intellect however, despite being occasionally muddled by instinct based interuptions, he actually a highly intelligent man, and is both experienced and highly capable of Logical thought and Tactical Planning.

As for how he is 'normally', well, one must cope with a life style 'literally' filled with violence, yes? He has a deceptively playful nature about him when there is nothing serious going on, and quite commonly will take part in whatever can be called 'fun', drinking, rough housing, dancing, sparring, video games, anything to ease the ever building Tension of war.



Telo was once a completely normal man, an Immigrant from russia at that, prior to the 'out-break' of Wendigo that have since spread across Canada like Wild-fire, but yes, before that, there was little special about him other than learning to live effectively in the new place he'd moved to.

Well, there was 'one' thing especially unique about him, everone knows those old stereotypes about Russian's being really strong, the often joking claims about them 'wrestling bears' and the like, as it happens, Telo has a pet Tiger, An Albino Siberian to be specific, with which he 'plays' occasionally, though he had the scars to prove that he lost frequently enough... He also has a pet husky with an inferiority complex for living with a feline bigger than he is and frequently gets into trouble, harmless trouble at least.


When the Wendigo's started forcing 'civilization' to pull back to the most defensible positions they could, and the Alpha Flight put out a call for anyone willing in order to bolster their numbers in a mad dash to compensate for being out-numbered by the Wendigo's at the time, He joined up without a second thought, quite willing to 'do his part' for defending his new home. It turned out that his Body was especially receptive of the Genetic modification, far beyond expectations actually, and he took to the changes as easily as breathing, though he wasn't 'too' inhuman at first, that changed within the first year as they discovered that he possessed what seemed to be a 'stable' verson of the gene that causes genetic manipulation to take off on it's own once started, Essentially putting him in a permanent state of evolution.


Needless to say, once he 'wolfed out', It was a confusing affair reconvincing his pets that he was himself, but it wasn't too difficult, and before long they were wrestling like old buddies again, of course, now he was much more capable of winning without injury... Both of his pets live in the Alpha Flight Head-quarters currently, shacking up in his personal quarters and occasionally tormenting the other members, though still getting well fed while he'd away.


In his most recent years of Service to Alpha Flight, He has developed into a devastating force of Genetically Altered Power, having risen to the 'Third' Rank of the Wild Card Division, and quite capable of taking down several Lesser Wendigo's all on his own with little real trouble.


More Recently however, the attacks have seemed to become more aggressive in nature, and he, along with a few others, have been dispatched to seek assistance from other places while the Main force of Alpha Flight Fortifies their Land against Wendigo Attacks and holds off their Advance.








Powers and Abilities:

The standard features of 'Genetic Soldiers' are present, enhance strength, speed, Regeneration, Endurance, Stamina, that such, In his case, numerous factors above that of a normal human in all fields.

Due to his 'Wild card' Status, a defined un-changing list of powers is impossible, though it will be updated as things Surface.


Strength: 13X
Endurance: 11X
Speed: 5X
Agility: 3X
Constitution: 15X
Stamina: 22X
Regeneration: 12X

Strength: He could generally be expected as capable of Lighting a throwing a Small car as a projectile, though larger Vehicles aren't quite in his range yet.


Endurance: Sufficient force to pierce his hide would require something like High Caliber Hollowpoint rounds [Like Magnums], Or High piercing rounds like that of a Sniper Rifle. Sufficiently Modernized melee blades may also suffice.

He is extremely resistent to Blunt impacts, likely capable of being hit by a car and 'stopping' the car instead of being injured, unless it happened to catch him off guard.


Speed: At current Standard run, he can generally reach about 50 MPH, at Maximum sprint he can reach closer to 80.


Agility: His Reaction time is 'barely' high enough to dodge a basic bullet, and it wouldn't likely be able to dodge automatic fire, though compounded with his heightened senses the time-frame allowed by detecting the shot faster than a human also assists such an ability.

His body is mildly 'Extra-Flexible' and capable of 'transmiting' strength through body motions, essentially the 'full body punch' type of ability, puting all the body's power into the strike rather than just the strength of the arm.


Constitution: His immune system is strong enough to fight out nearly any normal Human disease, unless directly injected into his body or if he were attacked 'en masse'. Though uniquely tailored poisons and the like are still a threat.

Stamina: With on standard daily Activity, and keeping himself fed of course, He can go for approximately 1 month before exhaustion over-comes. He can handle Strenuous Activity, such as that expected on the battlefield, for up to a week in optimal conditions without tiring.

However, Hardcore combat, such as that on a 'super powered scale', Will Strain his energy much faster and He'll be lucky to last a day with repeated battles.


Regeneration: He can fully regenerate from a basic knife wound in Hours, with the bleeding stopping in minutes. A single broken bone or an effective gun-shot wound in Approximately 1 week.

He cannot yet regenerate lost limbs.

Injuries are still compounding, several Broken bones or numerous gun-shots may still take up to a month without medical assistance.

Environmental Survivability: His body is capable of resisting and Repelling both great Cold and Heat environments, though nothing such as being immune to -30 Temperatures or able to touch magma. He's Conditioned, not Elemental XD

Sight: 3x that of a human, Vulnerable to Extreme Lighting changes, but can adjust faster than a human.

Hearing: 6X That of a human, Vulnerable to Extreme sounds. Can hear through walls up to 1 foot thick.

Taste: Pretty normal, though not exactly a human 'palate'

Scent: 10X that of a human, Able to scent targets and discern location up to 100 feet away, and can track scents up to 48 Hours after the source has left an area. HATES PERFUME!!

Touch: 3X That of a human, allows him to 'feel' vibrations to a small degree, but also increased how painful things are, though with practice it also increased pain tolerance.

Claws: Thick, 4 inch claws, capable of Cutting through Thin metals and most standard 'body armors', generally capable of cutting through most types of flesh as well. Non-retractable currently. His claws seem to have obsidian like properties that allow them to avoid internal damage from incredible heats used with such abilities as 'HEAT claw', though his actual flesh does not have such properties.


Jaws: His Jaws are strong enough even without teeth to snap a man's arm off when unarmored, With his teeth factored in, the force behind them can pierce thin armor and the strength in his jaws and compress and crumple This metals.


Altered Muscle Structure: Optimized Muscle Structure using non-human examples allows for greatly improved 'strength to mass' ratio, and allows him to be vastly stronger than he appears without 'bulk' debilitating his speed and agility.


Adrenaline Boost: At will he can initiate a 'mild' adrenaline boost from within his own body, Allowing him to approximately double his reflex speed, as well as Increase his Strength and regeneration by a few more levels. This obviously burns energy faster though.

When Natural Adrenaline kicks in, it is considerably stronger than his 'on demand' adrenaline boost, Adding another factor onto Reflex speed, and greatly enhancing his Strength and Endurance. Of course, this state RAPIDLY burns through energy, and can only trigger 'itself' when he is under serious danger.


Blood Scent: A Beastial Trait that came along on it's own with his Genetic Tinkering. A considerable ammount of blood being smelled can Mildly Frenzy him, though he can normally keep control of himself still, It drives his body to greater feats of strength and speed in pursuit of a 'tasty target'.

Psi-Howl: A Directional Ability, A Piercing Animal Howl coupled with a wash of Psychic force, It does both, producing physical pressure against targets in the area of effect, and Assaulting them with Mental stress and pain, though unlikely to harm anything of considerable mental strength, it is quite capable of inspiring those of an 'animal nature' to flee in terror.


Mind Shield: More of a Passive Development that makes his own mind resistant to Psychic attack, and Able to Counter, to some degree, when assaulted mentally. Though it is not a perfect shield and can still be broken through or circumvented by those with considerable Psychic power.


Concealment: Not as much of a stealth ability as it sounds. It's used to 'confuse' nearby biological beings into seeing him as a normal human, it takes considerable focus to maintain and doesn't work beyond approximately 30 feet. It also does not work on Technological sources of surveilance. Mainly used to travel in 'public places' without causing a ruckus.

Combustion Bullet: Using the body's natural ability to produce heat, he draws all of that heat into his hand, Causing great ammounts of steam to become visible before a glow appears. The longer he 'charges' this heat, the greater the possible effect.

After collecting a suitable ammount of heat, he can Discharge it from his hand as a base-ball sizes projectile, or as a 'blast' of heat in close range.

It takes approximately 3 Seconds to collect the heat needed for a 'blistering hot', but between 5 and 20 seconds will see increasing levels of heat causing 'combustion' of the air around his hand, as well as increasing the range and power of the ultimate discharge. 5 seconds of charge and up will create actual Combustion/Fire when discharged, 15 Seconds and up will cause inherent Combustion about his hand that he doesn't have any control over and can actually burn 'him' if he doesn't discharge it quickly after that.

If he charges for more than 20 seconds, the Heat will build over his body's limit and 'combust' his own hand and fore-arm, though he 'can' recover from this, one can imagine how undesirable it is to do this.

Note: Hot environments, or things that cause his body to heat up inherently, will increase the speed at which he charges, but also the speed at which he reaches his limit.

After a High level use, he must allow his hand to 'cool down' naturally otherwise it will still over-heat quickly.

Cryo Claw/HEAT Claw:

Part 1: By drawing Ambient Heat from everything around his claw, very quickly, he causes a Cooling and sometimes Freezing effect on things in close proximity to his claws. The range of this effect is roughly 2 feet, and does not affect his own body. The level of effect increases with how close the object is to his claws, and when a fraction of an inch from contact, flash-freezing can occur.

Part 2: By drawing in all of this heat, his actual claws are Super-heated, creating such temperatures that they can very rapidly 'melt' through Normal metals and sear through thickened flesh.

Part 3: With both of these effects inherently combined, A 'Cryo/Heat Claw' Combination will Flash freeze and then Shatter with heat, targets that are vulnerable Temperature changes.

Part 4: Over use of this ability will cause the heat to spread from just his claws, effectively cooking his fingers and hands from the inside.

Note: He can execute usually 2 of these attacks per claw before risking over-heating and needing to let them cool for a couple of minutes. During this attack, his Claws glow Bright Orange.

Second Note: He can use an 'over-charged' HEAT Claw, which will cause them to glow white with the sheer level of heat and make a snowy effect around him from the level of Heat being sucked in, but if used outside of optimal conditions, is likely to still result in minor 'boiling' taking place.

Regeneration Boost: By collecting a chunk of pure physical energy, he can unleash it all into a specific area to super-charge the natural Functions of the body in that space, Effectively causing short term rapid Regeneration effects.

It is less effective on other people due to them not already having enhanced regeneration, But the Effect is still incredibly faster than standard 'wait and heal', and capable of shaving days of recovery off of a normal humans injury period.

Purge: A kindof... unpleasant, Ability. This ability sends a Rush of Raw Internal energy throughout every cell and blood vessel in his body, causing a RAPID Ejection of Impurities... Essentially, super effective Vomit.

It 'can' have some effect normally, due to the ever present bacteria and infection in all of us, but it incredibly undesirable to use when not used as a counter-manuever to a poisonous injection or Infectious attack. In such cases, it essentially collects the putrid results of these poisons and infections and propelled them violently from His Mouth.

It is not always perfectly effective, stronger types of infection may yet survive, though will still be weakened by the purging effect.

Flexi-Titanium Armor: Shown in Character Picture

Armor constructed of a unique material meant to emulate the considerable durability of Titanium, while mixing it with Flexible qualities of other materials such as leather, though it is nowhere near 'perfectly flexible' yet, the current rendition is at least capable of 'not' restricting someone's physical movements too extremely, though it is still unwieldy to wear a full suit, As such, Telo's armor only covered certain areas that are either high risk, or considered a vital area.


Volt Pistol: A Small pistol with a self re-charging battery that launches blasts of eletricity, either in a ball form for a small AOE, or a beam form for putting power into a single target. It's non-lethal effect is actually his simplest form of taking down targets that are meant to be kept un-injured, as his own body can handle the more 'deadly' jobs usually.


Detonation Capsules: Very small capsules with highly concentrated chemicals within, meant to serve certain purposes. They also come in far more powerful 'grenade' and 'bomb' varieties, but Telo doesn't have any with him at present.

Stink: Just as they sound, when broken, these capsules release a noxious cloud, very effective for debilitating the senses of enemies with enhanced sense of smell or sight, causes burning against sensitive flesh.

Smoke: Standard concealment pellets, though they also contain a spritzing of Chaff and heat powder to disrupt both electroni and Infrared sight in the area of effect.

Incendiary: A capsule that contains a concentrated flammeable chemical that becomes air-borne on contact with oxygen, effectively making a section of the air flammeable. also contains a tiny time release 'flint clicker' that will spark the air after about 3 seconds.

Volt Bombs: These capsules contain electrically conductive fluids packed into their capsules, as well as a disposible micro battery that discharge about a half second after the capsule shatterrs. When shattered, the fluids in the capsule disperse violently, spritzing the area around it and creating countless 'nodes' through fluid contact for the electrical discharge to follow.

Sample Post: NOTICE: For those faint of heart, don't read the post past halfway XD Given the theme of the area it takes place in, It get 'very' gruesome at a certain point, certainly more than you'd generally hear about in any form of comic. And ya know what? I could've gone into even greater detail.

There they stood, A Platoon of Alpha Flight, Roughly 100 men from the Standard Alpha flight Military Branches, Lead by Wild Card 3, 'The Beast', and Lined up in his chosen formation. Telo himself was stood out in the front of the group, a torn up 'tree' next to him, Behind was a line of roughly 30 Men, 2/3rds were from the Alpha Mi Branch, The rest were Members of the Advanced Assault branch. Behind them were 2 ranks of Beta military Soldiers set up to use special raised Emplacements as well as a numbers advantage, while using the other group of much more powerful soldiers as frontal Cover, The Beta Mi's would be watching their flanks and providing coer fire.


They'd recieved Sensory reports that a 'small' pack of low level Wendigo's were heading this way, though they were considered the 'lesser' risk compared to other groups that could appear, Wendigo were not something to be under-estimated under any circumstances, often one had to 'mincemeat' them to make them stay down permanently, though they were not nearly as 'invincible' as the legends imply, and one should never expect perfect accuracy with recieved reports, hence the 'seemingly' excessive show of force, it didn't hurt that they were considered nothing better than maddened canibal beasts who's presence threatened all sentient life in the area.


A Signal soon came from the man in-front, a deep throaty growl coupled with a 'very' excited and toothy grin spread across his muzzle as he hefted up the tree, holding it similar to a spear with one hand behind it's flattened end, The most obvious signal he'd usually give that the targets were approaching. There were a couple of newbies among the group that got a bit un-easy and spoke up "Um... Sir, Are you sure this is enough people? and what if a big one shows up?" Directed at Telo of course. They clearly weren't too experienced and likely still lived with the rumors and legends that Wendigo literally could not be killed and would always get right back up.

"Hahah, Relax Rookie, That's why 'I'm' here, the 'just incase' Factor." A kindof worried groan coming from the rookies implied that they didn't quite believe he could take one of them on his own, oh well, you never stop being a rookie until you've really gotten your first taste of combat.


That's when the dull rumbling became heard, and every single person present Visibly tensed up, though the rookies seemed to be much happier hiding behind the line of men twice their size, and then the Tree-line was broken. As the reports had stated, the pack was 'small' in number, though there were a couple that were larger than the others, and with a signalling roar, Telo let loose the log he'd been holding, very quickly gaining a direct hit with the Central Large one's head, knocking it flat on it's ass, but only for a moment. As soon as the log shattered on the first target, the Second line opened fire, spraying everything they had at anything that wasn't in the middle, quickly turning the snow bits of red and black from the monstrous things that did their best to continue advancing despite being pelted.


The First Line made it's move as the Central group of Wendigo closed in, Charging in for close combat, armed with any manner of deadly melee and close range weapons paired with raw strength and experience. Meanwhile, Telo brough this claws together, a collection of steam becoming visible in the cold snowy air around him before it became a distinctly orange glow which soon focused entirely on one hand as the other pulled away and he took a stance similar to a shot-putter, collecting the burning energy as he watched the recently floored Wendigo starting to get back up, but as soon as he could see it over the heads of allies and the smaller Wendigo, he lurched forward and released the collection of searing energy towards it before charging in after it. The Ball of energy struct the Larger Wendigo square in the chest, pouring into it's body and Sending incredible heat through it's chest cavity, though it's regeneration kept it alive, It was temporarily crippled with pain, certainly long enough for Telo to close the distance.

As he neared the line of skirmish he leapt quite easily into the air, Stomping on the head of one of the smaller Wendigo and using the leverage to launch himself at the larger of the beasts, Releasing a Beastial Howl in mid-leap that seemed to produce a 'thud' as it poured over the larger one, causing it to stumble back. As he came down ontop of it his Claws lit up brightly, Creating great ammounts of Steam before he unleashed a Merciless frenzy on the ever vicious beast, also using his momentum to topple the stumbled monster to the ground. He quickly left it torn and bloody in place, though one could visibly see it's wounds piecing back together, it simply wouldn't do to pretend it was dead, and as things would have it, it was a good thing there were a large number of soldiers present to occupy the rest of the Wendigo, He couldn't effectively dis-patch them if he had to avoid every one of them all on his own.

A moment later he had hopped off of it and proceeded to Wrap both claws around one of it's Wrists, big though it was, it wasn't big enough to be 'too much' for his strength, and soon it was dragged clean up into the air before getting smashed down head first into the ground again, a motion that was quickly repeated over and over, including the destruction of several tree's, essentially filling it up with broken bones that tried to keep regenerating. The thought of brutaly bashing an already completely incapacitated enemy was never something that sat easily on most people's conciences, but such luxuries were not available to those who fight Wendigo, the only way to truely 'kill' them that most know about is to simple beat them over and over until they no longer have the energy to regenerate, and the bigger they were, the longer they could keep it up, Though a thoroughly ruthless beating from Telo was often enough to make 'anyone' wanna stay down, at least those who weren't super powered.

The larger Wendigo was essentially a pile of Jello after he was done with it, though still in the shape of a 'creature', he wasn't done yet even then, he could hear the sound of crackling bones and mending flesh putting it back together, and he proceeded with one of the rather effective methods Blocking up a Wendigo's Regeneration. He hopped back ontop of it and Tore into it's Chest cavity, exposing a sizeable opening and making quite a mess, before reaching into a small pocket on one of his shoulder pads, pulling out several small orbs marked with red lines, then thrust his hands into the mess that was it's Torso and pulle dback without then, followed shortly by stomping quite hard on it where he'd put them, and quickly making a dash away from it.

Approximately 3 seconds later 'fire' poured out of every open wound in it as it was thoroughly Cauterized inside and out, exponentially increasing the effort it would take to heal over the burned flesh, certainly too far for something so thoroughly broken, torn, and boiled, even if it 'is' a somewhat tougher than 'lesser' wendigo, It eventually Sputtered out, twitching and gurgling until it didn't have anything left, then Telo turned to rejoin the other's in what was left of the other Wendigo.


The whole battle took roughly 5 Minutes of non-stop violence and gore, Cannons and Blasters firing, HEAT Blades searing flesh, and The Beastly Howls that were used to frequently stun the Wendigo and avoid injury to allies, and when it was over, only a few of the soldiers were seriously injured, and a handful more minorly injured, some were Tired out, but the 'Small' Wendigo pack, was a pile of Burnt and bloodied mess, which they soon set about very thoroughly 'incinerating', to ensure they couldn't be eaten by other Wendigo to make them stronger.

Perhaps the most surprising factor to the rookies of what Telo had pulled off, was that he didn't seem the least bit tired out by the fight, though he was considered one of the deadliest members of Alpha Flight to be fought in melee, at least in 'this' part of the world.

Once thorough incineration was ensured, they all packed up into a couple of drop ships and bugged the hell out, unaware that the relatively 'easy' skirmish had been observed by something else.

If that your way of saying 'batman bitch slap'? XD

[FutaNeko0200]

Maybe, maybe not ;P

[Byrd Man]

Alright, I decided to go ahead and drop the Op before I even posted once. I didn't have too solid an idea on what to do with him after I applied. I know, what kind of asshole picks up a character without thinking it through? Well, this asshole does that! Also, fuck you for calling me an asshole! You heard me, my own self!

Anyway, here's my replacement for the Op. Got an idea on what I want to do with him, and what stories I want to tell. So, no worries.


Character You Would Like to Play: Carter Reid/The Green Hornet

Character Alignment (Hero, Villain, or Walking the Line): Hero

Appearance/Costume (Briefly describe or post a picture of what your character's costume looks like):

The gasmask from this costume: http://i.imgur.com/jbAV63S.jpg

Mixed with the attire of this costume: http://i.imgur.com/0IbYQIc.jpg

Miko meanwhile wears the traditional outfit that Kato wears.

Origin/History of Your Character and Their Personality:

Carter Reid is the publisher of DB, formerly the Daily Bugle, a news subsidiary of L-Corp that covers Nueva York. DB distributes daily videos for the Net, a twice daily holocast, and three e-edition downloads for tablets and Net reading. Carter's post as publisher is an inherited one, after the unsolved murder of his father Michael. Carter's investigation into Michael's death led to two startling discoveries. The first was that Michael was on the verge of a breakthrough on his investigation into the gangs of the city and their ties to L-Corp. The second related to the Reid line. Many years ago, an ancestor of Carter's ran a daily publication known as a "newspaper" and, upon faced with growing corruption in his city, he struck out as a masked man known as the Green Hornet. The Green Hornet and his partner Kato fought for hope in the hopeless city of Chicago.

Angry over his father's murder, Carter decided to follow in the man's footsteps. He used his contacts with L-Corp to track down a woman known as Miko, the only living descendant of Kato's. The young woman had been in the army, fighting against COBRA, and was crippled in a battle. Carter promised Miko a chance to walk again if she would help him on his quest. After several bionic implants in the woman's arms and legs, she could again walk. With Miko at his side, Carter lashed out at the criminal underworld as The Green Hornet, scourge of the criminal underworld.

Powers and Abilities:

Carter has no powers, but he is a capable fighter and investigator. He carries a gun that is a combination stun and gas gun.

Miko, already a trained soldier, now has increased strength, agility, and durability due to her bionic enhancements. Her enhancements and her training maker her a fighter of the highest caliber.

Carter and Miko use the Black Beauty, a black hovercar tricked out with several weapons and gadgets used in their crime fighting.

Vinnie Caruso, a hoodlum turned politician that is now the mayor of Nueva York. Caruso is a go-between the criminal gangs and the megacorps that pull the city's strings.

Sample Post (must be a minimum of 2 paragraphs with at least 2 lines of dialogue from your character):


Midtown Manhattan
11:24 PM


The Black Beauty raced hundreds of feet above the streets of Manhattan. The black hovercar sped passed the tall and opulent spires that held the city's elite. Inside the car, the black-clad woman kept her hands glued to the flying car's yoke. The man seated in the passenger seat looked at the holographic display that hovered above the car's dash. A real-time holo map of the city floated in the air, showing the locations of crimes in progress as reported to LCSF, the L-Corp Security Force. Each crime in progress was tagged with a red dot. At present, there were thirty-three dots around Manhattan alone.

The man zoomed in to one red dot that was three blocks due east of their current location. The dot loaded a streaming video from a pedestrian's handheld terminal. The shaky footage showed three black jumping from the rooftop of one high-rise twenty stories above the ground. Their powerful kicks took them over a twenty foot gap to the next closest building. Under the video, a banner scrolled horizontally on the display. Crime in progress, it read, Code 10-459: Breaking and Entering.

"Not much," Carter Reid said. He slid the gasmask on to his face and let it contract and expand to custom fit the contours of his head. He pressed a button on the side of the mask. The display on the dash now filled his goggles in the form of a heads-up display.

"It's a start," Miko said from the driver's seat. She turned the yoke sideways and punched the throttle. The Black Beauty raced over the rooftops, headed due east towards the scene of the crime.

And for Robert, going with a young Ralph Fiennes



Origin/History of Your Character and Their Personality: Robert is an intelligent man and quick thinker, able to keep calm under pressure. Growing up privileged, Robert is very well mannered and versed in the etiquette of the social elite, though he tries to avoid that crowd at all cost. Robert possess a strong will, which can turn stubborn at times. Robert has a charisma about him, something that has helped him in life, and he uses to his advantage. If there is one thing he believes in it's justice, pure and true. And he will even go around the law to see it done.
Unlike the original Batman, Robert believes that some evil is beyond imprisonment and redemption, and, although rare, he will kill if he needs to.


Robert grew up a privileged child, son to one of Gotham's most prestigious families, thanks in large part to his father, William (or Bill as he was often called) who was a top geneticist at L-Corp. His mother, Anne, was a renowned personal trainer, having many many famous clientele , as well as being an accomplished practitioner of Brazilian Ju-Jitzu and Judo.
Given their backgrounds and daily lives, education and fitness were important to Robert's parents, and so, from a young age on, Robert received the best in training money could buy.

Robert showed considerable promise in biology, much as his father did, and became quite the accomplished martial artist, winning tournaments all over L-Corp territory. After graduating from Metropolis University, Robert followed in his father's footsteps and joined Wayne-Powers in it's genetics department, eventually working under William.
But, as the Kyle's prospered, Gotham suffered.

Derek Powers, CEO of Wayne-Powers (the L-Corp owned corporation that controlled Gotham, was raking in the profits at the expense of the common folk. Gotham City was a glorified slave to their Wayne-Powers giant, with many citizens falling well under the middle class line. Few dared to stand up to Derek Powers though, and rightfully so. But one surprising advocate to change company policy was Robert's father.

One of the most prosperous men in Wayne-Powers at the time, William's voice carried weight. Enough to possibly turn the brass at L-Corp against Powers, and relieve him of his position as CEO of the company. And that was something he could not allow. So Derek Powers did what any rational monster would and hired a mercenary to end the threat.

Robert still remembers the day as though it happened yesterday...they were driving back from the movies, he and his parents. He was sitting in the back seat of the car, listening to his old man tell a story of what happened in the lab today. Robert was smiling, from ear to ear. With the schedule they all had, it was rare that they were able to get together for an outing like this.
Suddenly the truck flew in from out of nowhere, smashing into the vehicles passenger side and sending both vehicles spiraling to the city streets below.

Robert awoke in Gotham General days later, having suffered major injuries to his spine and a severe concussion. However, he was the lucky one. William and Anne did not survive the crash. His parents were dead.

Overwhelmed with grief, Robert spent his weeks rehabbing the accident with nothing to do but replay the night over and over in his head. It dominated his dreams, making him unable to sleep even a wink most nights.

The funeral for his folks was broadcast all across Gotham, attended by some of the most influential people in the city, such as Derek Powers, Damien Wayne, the elder statesman of the prestigious Wayne family, and Thomas "Tommy" Grayson, progeny of Dick Grayson and Gotham's most powerful crime lord.
But Robert was seemingly oblivious to them all, and to the cameras. The only thing he could see were holograms of his parents standing together and smiling at the crowd as their remains were laid to rest. All the while, his mind was reliving that fateful night, his guts telling him that something was not right.

Using his influence, Robert got hold of pertinent information to the accident, scanning it for anything out of the ordinary. For months, Robert investigated his parent's death in his spare time, sure that this was no mere accident. It was an investigation that slowly began to take over Robert's mind, and his work began to suffer for it.
He was demoted by the company after an accident, sent to work under Morgana Fox in the R&D department.

Eventually, Robert stumbled on some new evidence: that the driver of the truck that hit them was not drunk, but the vehicle was remotely controlled from afar. That wasn't all. His mother, Anne, apparently survived the crash, but was killed courtesy of a bullet to her head. A kill shot at point blank range.
It was no accident; his parents were murdered.

All signs pointed to Derek Powers being the hand behind William and Anne's murder, but there was nothing Robert could do to prove it. And, even it there was, it wouldn't matter. Derek Powers sat as the de facto ruler of Gotham, and anything brought against him would be quickly dismissed, not to mention that the person going after him would go the way of Robert's parents.
No, if Robert was going to have his revenge, he would have to go another route.

Nearly a year had gone since his parent's death, with Robert stewing about it inside, all the while toiling away in the R&D division. Thankfully, Morgana Fox was understanding of Robert's predicament, and was grateful to have a mind such as his in her department. All in all, Robert was starting to get his life back in some semblance of order when he received an invitation that would change his life forever.

Damien Wayne, heir to the Wayne fortune and still a shareholder in the company that partly bore his name, had invited him to his impressive estate for dinner. The manor was like something out of the past, Robert remembered feeling when he first saw it. The entire neighborhood had been destroyed in the Cataclysm, but the Wayne family had the manor rebuilt, brick for brick, as it was before.

Over the decades that followed, Damien slowly purchased the surrounding plots of land, making Wayne Manor the only dwelling in what was one of Gotham's private (and richest) districts.
But the house only looked antiquated from the outside. Inside it was a product of the very best of cutting edge technology.

Over dinner, Damien and Robert got to know each other, all the while each one sizing the other up. It would seem that Damien was as sick of the corruption in this city as Robert's parents were. Indeed, he was one of his father's friends who secretly helped William in his struggle to make things better for the citizens of Gotham.
But, it would seem that Gotham's sins were too great for even a man of William's pedigree to wash away.

Somehow, Damien knew the truth about the 'accident', and that his parents were taken out by Powers. But, like Robert, he was unable to pin anything on Derek Powers. But, all was not lost.

He saw that Robert desired to avenge his parent's death, and that, deep down, he wanted to continue his father's crusade to help clean up this city. But, as a man, he could be ignored, or even destroyed. To fight this level of injustice, Robert would have to become something...more than a man. He would have to become a symbol: of hope for the downtrodden and fear for the wicked who ran the city.

And so, after a long talk, Damien took Robert down to the mansion's lower levels, making him an offer to become that symbol. To take up the mantle of a figure that has not been seen in the city for over a two decade, since Damien hung up the cape.

It was time for the Dark Knight to return...

Powers and Abilities: None, but Robert is a highly skilled martial artist, mastering a handful of different styles of hand to hand combat. Robert is also trained in the use of most melee weapons and knows how to use a firearm. Robert is a scientific genius and one of Wayne-Powers' brightest minds.
Under Damien's tutelage, Robert has become adept in the ways of stealth and secrecy, as well as becoming a pretty good detective.

Robert wears a state-of-the-art combat suit in the motif of the Batman. The suit is extremely light weight and durable, able to handle extreme heats and colds, as well as being complete with it's own life support system capable of sustaining Robert without outside sources of food, water, or air for up to 48 hours. The suit also houses a menagerie of advanced weaponry based on the former tools of the original Batman, as well as some new ones (such as an invisibility setting that renders the suit and it's wearer invisible to the naked eye and nearly all forms of electronic, and luminary, detection; enhancing the wearer's strength, speed, and agility; can interface with computer systems).

The suit also has two small anti-gravity field emitters in the boots which enable the wearer to fly silently, while the cape can be used as 'wings' to enable the wearer to control the flight with the utmost precision.

Supporting Cast (If Any): Damien Wayne (mentor); Morgana Fox (R&D boss at Wayne-Powers/close friend); Commander Michael Drake (high ranking member of the Gotham Police Force and one of the few good officers in the department); Derek Powers (head of Wayne-Powers and chief antagonist to Robert).

Sample Post (must be a minimum of 4 paragraphs with at least 2 lines of dialogue from your character):

The room was still, as though the darkness was a solid thing, holding everything in it's place in a 'frozen' state. Nothing stirred, save for the little mouse that scurried across the living room floor, through the puddle of blood, and around the dead body resting on the carpet before the television.

The mouse was startled and scurried under the sofa as one of the shadows suddenly moved. Stepping out of the darkness, the Batman leaned in over the body.

Janice Ponder, age thirty-seven...former receptionist for Wayne-Powers' Bludhaven office. She quit two weeks ago. Apparently she either saw or overheard something she shouldn't have.

The Batman knelt down, closely inspecting the scene.

Time of death, I'd say was not any longer than a few hours ago. If only I had gotten here earlier, Robert cursed himself as he scowled underneath the mask.

No signs of struggle in the house, yet...

The lenses in the Batsuit's eyes silently whirred as the magnification increased, zooming in on a tiny barb sticking out of Janice's neck that was no larger than a few dozen centimeters. Reaching for it, Robert gently plucked out the impish dart, bringing it close up to his eyes to inspect.

Hard to tell what the poison was, but I'd wager it will soon be undetectable in her bloodstream. Usually how these people operate.

Batman placed the dart in safekeeping to examine it later in the cave, and produced what appeared to be a small syrette and stuck it in Janice's neck, taking a small sample of blood.

Hopefully I'll be able to get something of note in analyzing this, the Batman thought as he slowly rose to his feet.
Something that can help identify the killer, though this definitely smacks of a corporate raider, or even a Wave operative...
