no longer interested in playing

@MrD: Uh oh...I dunno, she might. Is that her thing? I know Venus is the jealous type...

Actually, I did. Well, another name for Nightshade. Phoebe's now Belladonna.

Wicked, Yeah the Living Vampire bit can be dropped and nothing in the sheet would really change.

I'd take out the part about kidnapping the VP and SecState, hijacking LAX, and blowing up the Washington Monument. Domestic terrorism is more dangerous thanks to the Awakening. But counter-terrorism is even more hardass. If Elektra tried any one of those things in this Universe, she would have been ripped apart by superpowered federal agents or else Pariah would have done her in. And domestic terrorism is quite different from robbery and she seems to have no motivation for it.

I'd also downgrade her bank robbing history to more petty crime, as it is much more realistic for a mother with children to commit small crimes to gain money than risk dying in a bank robbery. She should upgrade to things like robbing banks because of her powers.

Wormgod, basically all of the greek gods were petty to some degree. In this Universe, names have power and constantly invoking the name of a powerful goddess (albeit accidentally) would persuade said goddess to answer the call eventually. And who knows what might happen but you probably wouldn't win the lottery. Belladonna is a fine name, I'll edit the roster.

I have added an extra paragraph to my bio, I don't think it will cause any concern, but I just wanted to make sure you are aware.

Ah ok, yeah as long as the change fits what was already posted and doesn't alter anything significant it's fine. Thank you for informing me.

Pictures added man!

Racoon, and now it's almost perfect. I didn't notice you didn't put in his actual name until just now, but whatevs, fix it later. Wenchang is accepted.

WIP

Name:
Jayden Gambino

Codename:
Warp

Age:
23

Gender:
Male

Place of Birth:
Atlantic City, New Jersey

Affiliations:
Olympic Games, The League, Gambino Crime Family

Occupation:
Olympian, Gymnastics Coach, Hero

Appearance:



Powers:
Teleportation - Warp possesses the ability to generate teleportation warps, allowing him to teleport himself, people and objects at will. Warp can teleport large masses, including sizable groups of people. He can also use his powers in a destructive manner by teleporting only parts of objects. He can open portals that displace projectiles and even enemies that threaten him. His effective range is to the moon and back. Also, Warp can manifest the energy for his portals in the form of stars, disks, short javelins, and spears which causes their targets to teleport away. He uses this power offensively and defensively. Warp’s portals have an ambient, distorted pink energy around them and you are able to see your destination like a window before going through.

Skills:
Peak Human Condition – Warp has the body of an Olympic athlete. Being a trained gymnast since the age of 5, his strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, durability, balance, and flexibility are greatly heightened, but without any superhuman degree.

Expert Marksman – Warp has learned to throw his energy based weapons with heightened accuracy, rarely missing his target.

Hand-to-Hand Combat – Being a gymnast, combat comes natural to Warp as his fighting style is similar to something like Capoeira. Not exactly expert level, but Warp’s speed makes him a challenge in battle.

Advanced Intelligence – Warp isn’t superhuman smart, but his intelligence ranges in the top ten percent for the average human. He can learn to adapt to situations and is a quick learner to everything from advanced technology to unclogging a toilet.

Equipment/Resources:
Warp’s costume is flame proof and bullet resistant. He can easily move around it in and works well for his flexibility. Something like this he didn’t just purchase, but stole from his Uncle’s collection.
Warp doesn’t have any weapons, but uses ability to create energy based ones to use in combat situations.
Even though he has no part of the crimes his family does, he knows they would do anything for him as Italians are big on families and supporting each other despite their differences.

Weaknesses:
Warp has almost been a victim of his own powers by accidentally splicing himself which can happen if control isn’t focused. Being a portal teleporter has more disadvantages than an instant teleporter. With portals, others can see where you’re coming from or will notice your portal before you step out. With an instant teleporter, no one knows when they will appear. Warp has to rely on his speed so his enemies won’t notice his portals appear and catch him mid attack. Warp also has to have seen the area he wants to teleport to. He can’t teleport somewhere he has no knowledge of. Often times when he has to teleport out of state or country, he’ll have to look at a picture of the place he has to go to first to get a visual if he hasn’t been there. His portals also have to be somewhat adjacent to gravity. Meaning he can’t go through a portal in the floor and come out through a perpendicular wall. Splicing could occur. He would have to create a portal on the floor that would open up in the ceiling to match his movement.

Psychological Profile:
Jayden is portrayed as being optimistic, comical, charismatic, flamboyant, and kind hearted. He often ignores other people's advice and does things his own way, which usually results in the outcome being better than predicted. He is kind and cares for those he loves. He knows how to have a good time, and he likes to make sure everyone else around him is having as much fun as he is. Though some people underestimate his toughness, but he's not afraid to stand up to anyone who mocks him. If you want to share your clothes and trade fashion/makeup tips with, Jayden is your guy. He is also described as being a very fashionable person, going on massive shopping sprees from time to time. Being an athlete, Jayden is self-disciplined and hardworking, never quitting until a job is done and perfect.

Jayden normally provides the comic relief when he’s around. He has what he calls a “rolodex of wit” that allows him to make jokes and comebacks instantly. Most of his humor is silly insults and sarcasm, but can also make inappropriate and sexual jokes. There's never a dull moment when he's present.

Jayden is also openly gay.

Biography:
Jayden is a New Jersey native, born and raised. He grew up in a family that loved him, went to school, made friends but there was one thing he kept from everyone. His family is related to the Gambino crime family, one of the top five mafias in the United States. As a child, he never really saw his father and his mom never said anything of it. It wasn't until he was older that he understood what went on. He constantly had to move around from home to home because staying in one place for too long could get his family caught and split up from the law and social services. Jayden and his mom never took part in the activities, but his father did along with his uncle who was head of their family mafia. Even though Jayden's mother wasn't too fond of her husband's illegal affairs, she felt she was trapped, fearing she would be killed if she left the family. To keep Jayden away from his family's affairs, she enrolled him in gymnastics at the age of 5.

Growing up, gymnastics was Jayden's life and his mom made sure it stayed that way. He would spend countless hours with his coaches training and disciplining his body. It was hard to make a balance between gym time, school, and friends but Jayden managed to make it work. Jayden's mother made sure that the Gambino crime family couldn't be traced back to Jayden while training. With his hard work paying off, Jayden was chosen to be in the 2008 Beijing Olympics for male gymnastics at the age of 14. Taking home gold medals, he became an instant celebrity as being one of the youngest male gymnasts to receive a gold medal in a long time. He soon went on to compete in the 2012 British Olympics at the age of 18 as well as the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics at 21 gaining gold medals in both and retiring after. Even though he was considered an Olympic hero, he was battling with internal struggles that no one really knew about.

For some time now, Jayden had feelings that he never really told anyone. He found himself attracted to men instead of women. Jayden thought there was something wrong with him and feared to tell anyone, especially his family. Mafias had a history of anti-gay violence and didn't want his family to disown him or worse, kill him for something he had no control over. He kept quiet about his sexuality most of his childhood until he was 17 years old when he was outted accidentally. Being in the public eye, one would have to watch every action you took because there could be someone around taking pictures or listening to you. While walking home with a guy he met, he kissed him and paparazzi happened to be around. Next thing he knew, it was all over social media JAYDEN GAMBINO OUTTED AS GAY?! It was the most talked about thing for weeks, shocking many (even though one could possibly figure it out by his flamboyant nature and the way he carried himself). Even though the majority of the responses were supportive, others were not. He started receiving death threats, even from members of his own family. Not wanting to put his family in danger, he decided to move out immediately after having an ugly spat about his sexuality with his parents. As things couldn't get any worse, the Awakening happened a year later.

After the Awakening, Jayden changed drastically. His hair slowly started to fall out and be replaced with pink hair over time while the rest of the hair on his body remained the same. His normal blue eyes become more bright, allowing him to brighten them at will. He soon learned after that he could make portals that could teleport him anywhere he wanted. At first, Jayden despised his metahuman abilities since he was already different enough. Being gay was okay, but how would the world react to him being a metahuman? Jayden went on to have a normal life, training his abilities in private. Over the course of five years, Jayden had grown into quite the vigilante in the Atlantic City area. He nicknamed himself Warp and began cleaning up the crooked city he grew up in. Funny enough, Warp is his crime family's biggest enemy and they don't even know he's blood. Since moving out, he lost all contact with his family although certain times he mother would try and talk to him about what was going on.

Jayden aka Warp has gone on to be quite the hero, even joining forces with Zenith and Pariah from time to time to battle greater things. He's developed a comedic persona that he normally had, but uses it more now to mask what goes on in his personal life.

Your bio is looking good Heathen, you have to explain his relationship to a crime family though :P

Made some minor alterations to Oni's appearance.

If I might chime in as well, your average Mafia family isn't going to take kindly to a gay man in their ranks, they have a long history of homophobic violence. I'm just curious how you'll reconcile that.

-Sheet removed due to accidental copy cattery-

Not to do MrD's job for him, Falkon, but I would recommend reading Oni's character sheet briefly.

Oh, dang, sorry man. Back to square one!

No worries, I just wouldn't want you to play a character with a similar yet objectively worse powerset to another.

Like I said, I'll explain it in the bio >.<

Sounds good. Don't think I'm trying to talk you out of your ideas or anything, it's just something I'm honestly curious about. I'll leave you be!

All done :D

All done, tell me if there's anything that needs changing.

Yog, your CS is coming along nicely. You just need to finish your bio, with relation to his powers and becoming a hero then you'll be golden.

Molach, your sheet is also developing well. Just round out all the fields and you should be good.

Heathen, very nice. Warp is accepted.

Arty, sheet is good. Just take out the part about the UK splitting up. There's a lot of tension around the world but geo-politics haven't changed drastically (yet) But Rolling Girl is accepted.
