X-men: rise of the sentinels OOC

[fawcettp]

IC - http://roleplayerguild.com/showthrea...e-sentinels-IC

The year is 2217 and the mutant human war has taken a turn for the worse, the humans in a do or die attempt have built a robotic super soldier, its name was Bastion, and they set it loose with only one command “wipe out all mutants from the planet earth”. The problem is that it’s AI turned on the humans themselves and determined that to kill all mutants you must kill all humans from which they came, it used the advanced technology and stolen genetic mutation powers to leap back in time to the year 500 BC, it crashed into the plants surface sustaining heavy damage and putting itself into a hyper-repair cycle to try and restore its systems; time pasted as it does and soon the robotic body found itself functional but without a new power source, the humans of the time feared at and trapped it in a large cavern.

The year is now January 2000 and archaeologists have discovered this hidden tomb for the robotic life-form, the removed it from its resting place and used the technology of the day to recharge its power cells; it awoke and killed all the humans in the labs and building before vanished from existence once more.

Once more time passed without any sound from the robotic life-form until it struck, the date was the 20th of December 2012 and unlike every other day today was going to go down in history as the day Bastion returned and turned to world upside down; his first strike was like a scalpel, he had built smaller copies of himself called sentinels and sent them out into the world to track and kill the most prominent among the mutants of that time, the X-men.

…..

That’s the history as it stands now, and the story will pick up from there, the 20th of December 2012, the end of the world basically; each of us will take on the role of a young (13-19) mutant who are out on a field trip together, the attack happens before our eyes and we see our teacher one of the legendary X-Men cut down before us, its is then up to us to fight and survive the revival of Bastion and the sentinel.

Character Sheets

Rules for making characters
1- ages will be limited to 13-19 years
2- appearance is either a picture or detail description
3- powers are limited to beta level, this is not to say you can’t have elemental abilities which are Omega level, but that your powers will not be at that strength yet. This allows for growth and development of powers
4- personality can be revealed during play, but I would prefer a paragraph
5- backgrounds are a must, try aiming for 3-4 paragraphs
6- powers, these are your basic abilities, they will show what you are capable of at your current level.
7- power layout - if you wanted a fire wielder then you would put down type- energy subtype- fire, for a wolverine style character it would be type- shape subtype- regeneration and natural weapons

Name: Coral Jinxinsin
Alias/nickname: Cora
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Appearance:



Personality: Coral is a young and shy girl, she keeps to herself most of the time but acts fast when others are in need of help, she knows she is not strong but is willing to risk her life to save another

Background: She was born and raised by drunkards, her father was a shipyard worker and came home in the evening during supper time, her mother was a nurse, and not a very good one, she got fired after being caught drinking on the job. Her parents had no other children and were often lazy to do anything themselves such as house chores, dishes, laundry, trash, etc. so they forced Coral to, being as young and weak as she was, she wasn't capable of doing such labor, never giving up but never succeeding, it resulted in a beating as punishment and she has the scars to prove it.

She managed to find extra time at school, helping out at the library till it closed then having to go back home, she begged to stay longer but they forced her home, sadly enough that extra time didn't change the outcome. One day at school during recess she felt a tingling sensation in her brain as everything around her seemed to stop for a few seconds, the fly in front of her wasn't moving, the sand picked up from the wind was frozen too, then everything came back to life and she gasped for air, holding it in fear.

As time went on and as lonely as recess was for her, she managed to practice and control this ability a little more but only succeeding in turning it on, not so much as making it last longer. She never did it at home until one evening when she wasn't able to take the trash out, her mother had drank a little more than usual and was very angry with Coral, she started to yell and throw kitchen ware past the little girl, in the midst of the mothers tantrum she stopped everything that was happening in the kitchen, having enough time to run out and into her fathers presence, who happened to watch the whole incident in real time. He called up a foster home to take her away, seeing all the trouble she had caused and not wanting to deal with her anymore.

That's when she was adopted by the director, he had been watching her ever since that firs incident at school, he had a hard time deciding on what to do with her, but once she was placed in foster care is was easy enough. She had a hard time adjusting to her new life, having episodes of fear when she wasn't able to complete a task, and still does to this day. She became home schooled, staying out of the public like the other ones and only attended a few classes that the mutants did since she was younger, and didn't quite comprehend the lessons till she was older. She learned how to increase the duration of her powers as well as the space it effects, she continues to advance her skills and work alongside the others.

Name:
Alexander "Xavier" (legally changed his last name to protect his true family
Alias/nickname:
"Tomahawk"
Age:
18
Gender:
Male
Appearance:

Personality:
Fun-loving most of the time with strong underpinnings of right and wrong. He HATES bullies and with always run to the aide of someone getting picked on no matter the odds. He has been trained to prep and prepped to train so he is always looking around his environment to use whatever is on hand to get the advantage to survive.

Background:

Born to a fireman mom and cop dad. Sadly his dad died on the job while their child was still a baby, but Xanders mom would be consoled by his partner who eventually became his second mother before he was old enough to know any better. Raised by two women would make anyone a bit of an odd man out, but he took it as best he could with such a large target on his back.

When the bullying started, both moms agreed to have him take martial arts for the act of discipline more than anything else. He was taught how to use a hatchet both because of his parents Native American heritage to the tomahawk and his mom being a fireman that hatchets and axes were always available. After his dad had died, both his moms had started to become doomsday preppers with lots of focus on survival and bugging out with him being raised in the same ways as well in case he ever had to leave quickly for having two mothers. Part of that prepping included supervised gun use him his mothers standard issue shotgun, another part of that constant prepping meant taking him to both of their works and learning some tricks of the trade like how to use an emergency vehicle or any other huge vehicle. In case of, well, emergencies.

When he turned 15 his moms took him to a police impound auction to buy his first car with his permit, expecting him to get something cheap but running. He surprised them both with buying a totaled tow truck and spent a year rebuilding the engine instead. They had instilled in him a need to prepare so he opted for a vehicle with enough power to get him wherever he needed and pull anything behind he would need. His parent made him an emancipated minor as another tool to add to his survival skills since he could count himself as legally employed.

When he was 16 his power manifested as he saw the high school football team dragging a known gay student into the locker room clearly against his will. The speed that he ran to the rescue actually broke the sound barrier, the rest seemed to stand in slow motion as Alex brutally beat every one of them within an inch of their lives. 20 to 1 yet he didn't have a scratch on him except for the falling glass from blown out windows of the sonic boom, it was then that the x-men came for him.

The cover story was that a low flying aircraft flew overhead that caused the boom and his earphones saved him from the boom when he went to help the kid. He was expelled for violence but wasn't arrested for assault as he was stopping a hate crime in progress. He changed his last name to protect his moms and left home to learn how to use his talent.

Powers:
Super speed. Currently it is only a X2 multiplier of his movement speed and reaction time in combat. This ability is coupled and enhanced by his martial arts training.
Superhuman agility: Currently Olympic level in skills of gymnastics.

Alias/nickname: Zip
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Personality: Zip is the type of guy who talks fast and tries to get what he wants as quick as possible. That doesn't mean he is antisocial though.

He would risk life and limb to save someone he cared about.

Background: Zip was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. His father owned a corner shop which he and Zip worked in. His mother worked in a hospital nearby the corner shop. Zip's job was to watch over the shop when his father had gone out for one reason or another.

He got his nickname because of his fast paced speech pattern and the fact that before he got his powers he ran everywhere.

He went to one of the worse public schools in Scotland. He was one of the kids who rarely got into trouble though. He did still cause some it's just he was fast enough to get away without anyone noticing it was him. He was a part of some sort of gang. It was really just him and four of his friends but they still went by the rouse of a gang. Really all they did was hang around playparks and taunt people who they didn't like.

On his thirteenth birthday his powers came in. He noticed it when he 'ran' downstairs and flew into a wall. His father noticed this and was intrigued. He ran a few tests after giving his son his present. Of course his father was no scientist but before he grew up he was a comic enthusiast. He confirmed that he was a mutant and instead of scolding or beating him like most did he accepted him and thought his new found powers were cool.

But he knew what he had to do. He set him up to go to Xaviers with much regret from Zip's mother. Zip's first few weeks were hard, he still didn't know how to control his powers and so he kept running into people.

Age:17
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Personality: Mira is a fun loving happy girl who would do anything for a good friend. She is willing to give anyone a chance. She dislikes people who have superiority complexes and enjoys taking them down a peg or two. She is a bit odd and eccentric.

Background:Born in small town in Alaska to a single woman that took advantage of men to make money. Mira grew up very neglected except when one of her three dads came along. It turns out the woman had been with all of them at the time her pregnancy had started. One was a construction worker, one was a mechanic and the other was a police officer. Now with the child she made each of the three men give her money to support there child. All of them not questioning her as they loved there daughter even if they had split up with the mother.

After 3 years the scam all came out when the three possible fathers came to the house. Two of them came as a surprise as they had managed to get off work early.The other was there as he didn't have any work at the time and was invited. When the two men came up the drive they talked about why they were there and realised they had been duped. When they stormed in they saw the other man sat there. At first he was angry at them for bursting in. That is until they told him about secret. The men took there daughter as she couldn't be left with her mother Sotheby's ended up staying at the police officers house as his was the biggest.

A few days later they sued for custody and for there money back. However they had to find who was the farther. The test came back and it was the police officer. However they all loved her and didn't want to lose her so the other two would be the godfathers. The mother agreed to give up custody as she couldn't use her anymore. Unfortunately she had put the money in an foreign account but she at least ended up in jail.

A few months later the men sold there places and moved into a bigger house so they could all be with there daughter and combine there resources. However none of them had a clue how to raise a daughter instead of dainty things she did sports, play with action figures and general boy things. Here dads bought her baggy or weird clothing. She loved her dads and although they were clueless she wouldn't want it any different.

By age 14 she was head of the football, basketball, baseball and hockey teams. Her dads were very proud but she was seen as a bit odd by everyone in the community. By this time her dad that was the construction worker had been at home and tending to the housework since Mira was a toddler. This was because of the down turn in work and the fact someone needed to be home at all times.

At 15 she finally found out about her powers when she started to glow like the northern lights. She freaked out not knowing what to do. She was so scared and just ran up to her room. For a few days she sat in her room thinking about what had happened to her realised she was a mutant. She decided to try and get on with her life but her power just kept on happening and she didn't know what to do. She new she would eventually find out and she couldn't take it.

Then days later she tried running away from home but when she opened the door there was a strange man to her claiming he would help her. He told her she would be in a school for young mutants like herself and not only would she be given the best education but also taught how to use her powers. It felt to her like someone had given her a life line and she agreed on the spot. After that she told her dads that she had been accepted to this fantastic school because of her powers. Her dads where shocked but also impressed by what she showed them they signed immediately. Then that evening she packed her things and went to the airport with the man. Ever since then she has lived at the institute with the occasional visit from parents.

um... about Rule 6... am i the only person here who sees that as a great big neon sign that says "EXPLOITABLE!!!" on it? this basically means that your character can do anything so long as it is vaguely related to that power. how about you put those down as guidelines, but have to run it by everyone else before you start to pull powers out your ass because they are mildly related to your guys power?

I just noticed that. That is a huge disadvantage for those of us who choose powers like mine that have nothing to do with elements or projection.

vaultboy -
1)the way i was thinking the power is slightly different, your would be energy-speed
2)the molecular acceleration thing seems a bit farfetched, yes everything has friction point at which it will ignite but getting to such speeds will cause everything below that point to fall apart/ignite, also what sort of protection you going to have? cause if it burns it will burn you... thats if you don't burn up first
3) but other than that just waiting for you rest of your CS

mattmanganon - ok will edit it slightly, to try remove that flaw

Aah I see I didn't really understand that part. And the first power protects him from the second. Basically anything speed related that causes him damage that he does (except from the obvious like running into walls or being shot) is protected by that.

[VaultBoy]

Before I write my backstory, where is this taking place?

[fawcettp]

Let's say Washington DC, though I will need help on detail since im from Australia

[VaultBoy]

Oh, I was presuming we would have it at Xaviers. Now I must go....AND WRITE MY BACKSTORY *NATIONAL ANTHEM*

[fawcettp]

We will start out on a field trip from the xaviers shool to DC, then the attack happens...
