"In Hero City, there is a Hero System. Heroes help and serve the people of the city, with superpowers or other special skill sets. But what about those that retire, or those that can't seem to get into the System no matter how much they try? Well, that're what homes are for. And Special's Home- my Home- is one of the best out there. Renovated for any hero with Control issues and in the middle of a nice, progressive suburban area, there is many room for growth! From taking lessons at a nearby university to shopping with the easiest, cheapest mode of transport- walking!- Special's Home truly is the best home for your special needs!"

Temp Dropout- You're in rehab for like a broken leg or something.
Dropout- You're in rehab for a drug addiction or some other huge shit that can't be trusted in a superhero
Repeat- You have a shitty quality about you that, whenever you apply in the system, you get a giant red REJECTED
Retired- As it says, you've retired from being a hero- either from old age or a crippling injury that won't let you continue.
What is the difference between a Dropout and Retired? -It's more of a social thing. It's shadier to be a Dropout and more respectable to be Retired.

WIP

Name: "Violet"
Age: Twenty
Height; Weight: 5'2 ft; 100 lbs
Rank: Dropout

Superpower:
Taint: The purple that stains her body can be used as small projectiles and tentacle-like whips. Touching it would feel like touching acid or a hot flame. Despite having had this power for most of her remembered life, Vi does loose control of it easily. Also, if it is used too much it begins to spread, both over her body and wherever she happens to be standing, and if someone (friend or foe) were to touch her arms or face without protection they would be burned.

Falling Point: Major control issues, literally burns everything she touches, anger issues, ect.

Physical Description:
Violet is an extremely short, light girl, standing at about 5'2ft and weighing only 105lbs. She's of obvious Asian decent as evident from her narrow eyes, tan skin, and glossy, black, long hair. She has a round face, doll lips, a small nose, and two different colored eyes (one is brown and the other is tainted by the substance on her arms and face, turning it purple). Vi is rather shapeless, still yet to mature, and because of this she is much more quick than strong. She relies on her small and fast body to stay light on her feet and evasive in times of crisis. Most of her body is covered in a sticky, purple substance which doubles as her power. It was, apparently, worse in the past, but has since managed to simmer down to only decorate her arms and face in swirls of purple.

Bio:
Violet doesn't remember anything of her past before the age of thirteen. WIP

Interests:
  • Music: Violet is a surprisingly gifted musician, and can play plenty of songs with her six-hole ocarina or hand-crafted, wooden flute.

  • Origami: Paper airplanes, paper flowers, paper cranes, paper anything! If you give her a big enough sheet and a nice enough idea Vi will try her best to recreate it in paper.

  • Cats: Loves cats. Can't touch them, and most flee the minute they see her, but she still loves them to death.

  • Cooking: DO NOT EAT ANYTHING SHE COOKS. Cooking helps calm her down, and despite knowing that she is the only one who can eat it she still tries to show it off.

    Name: Alvie "Lancelot" Lakerider
    Age: 21
    Height; Weight: 5'9/167 lbs
    Rank: Repeat.
    Superpower: Ability to summon forth a mystical suit of armor, and a mystical blade.
    Falling Point: Mentally traumatized, and has locked away his powers from himself.
    Physical Description: A little lanky with somewhat pale skin, Alvie gives off a somewhat weak impression. Having an angular face and big eyes Alvie also looks more youthful then he usually is. He tends to wear baggy sweaters and jeans, not really the kind to show himself off or bring attention to himself. His lashes are long and his ears are a little large, he gives off a friendly presence.
    Bio: Was thought to be a prodigy, before a terrible accident occurred, since then Alvie has lost his powers and is riddled with guilt.
    Interests: Painting, botany, history.
    Other: He has a stutter.

    I know I joked about staling you earlier but seriously I just always find RPs by first: How many people? Then: Interesting? And I always latch onto yours early on.

    Basically you have to put up with more and I won't leave until you feed or shoot me.

    And I can eat a lot.

    Name: Jonathan "Overreach" Jackson

    Age: 25

    Height; Weight: 5'7" (3'9" seated); 173lbs

    Rank: Repeat

    Superpower: Jonathan's superhuman ability is quite simple: he can teleport his arms. Whenever he wills it, his arm simply vanishes off his shoulder and reappears somewhere else. But he can only do this with his arms -- no other part of his body -- and they can only rematerialize within his line of sight.

    Falling Point: Jonathan has applied to the Hero System multiple times, but each time his application was rejected. He doesn't know exactly why, but he suspects that they're not accepting him due to his paralysis (see below). It has occurred to him before that his powers may not be powerful enough to join the System, but he refuses to believe that that's why he's being rejected.

    Physical Description: I don't actually have a picture for Jonathan -- art isn't exactly one of my talents. That being said, Jonathan is of Caucasian descent. He possesses a rough, squared jawline, a permanent five o'clock shadow, and shaggy blonde hair. He has very muscular arms, and frequently wears sleeveless shirts to accentuate this, but his legs are withered and atrophied. This is, naturally, due to the fact that he's confined to an electric wheelchair. He has painstakingly painted it red and adorned it with his chosen pseudonym. The text is stylized to resemble flame, because Jonathan thinks it looks cool.

    Bio: Jonathan was exposed to a freak chemical accident at the age of 12 while touring a cutting-edge chemistry lab owned by independent research company Obelisk Enterprises. The immediate result of this was that he became paralyzed from the waist down. The corporation in question settled out-of-court with his family, and the Jacksons lived comfortably for several years as a result. At right about the time Jonathan was supposed to go to college, his powers began to manifest and he outright refused. He has spent the six years since then trying and failing to become a licensed Hero, believing it to be his one true calling.

    Interests: [list]
  • Fitness: Jonathan greatly enjoys physical fitness, a love that was born of his constant desire to get into the Hero System.

  • Heroic History: Jonathan is fascinated by the Hero System, and is very interested in the exploits of heroes past.

  • Easy Money: Jonathan is eager to prove to his family that he can survive without the financial aid that Obelisk has been sending them, and as such, he's always looking for easy ways to strike it rich. This pursuit has led him into the crosshairs of more than a few con artists in the past.

    Okay, so A, say I was to make a character who was a technopath (you should have expected it). Would it be acceptable for me to give him like a slight criminal record of selling illegally obtained information when he was a teen? And now he's extremely paranoid about everything because of the amount of information he goes through in a day and is like a huge conspiracy theorist who has no clue how to function in the outside world because who needs to when you have computers.

    Name:
    Tori "Byte" Wyatt

    Age:
    26

    Height; Weight:
    5'3 119lbs

    Rank:
    Repeat

    Superpower:
    Technopath

    Falling Point:
    Extreme Paranoia, Slight Criminal Record

    Physical Description:
    Tori is short for a man of 26 years old and small. If he really wanted to he could probably pass as high school student. He's all around a very small person as well, with little extra fat or muscle on his body. Initially, he's cute as a button, with light blonde hair reaching just above his shoulders and big, gold eyes on a face that looks like it should belong to a much younger person than he actually is. His choice of clothes varies from day to day, mostly dependent on whatever he finds interesting. Currently he's into really cute things, but then again his last interest was trying to look like he was from a punk rock band so that's liable to change.

    Bio:
    The human body is designed to handle specific amounts of information being put into it. One can only read so much so fast and only take in so many details of the world surrounding them. Going over that amount can put a certain amount of strain on a person's mind, which is exactly what happened to Tori when his powers manifested in his early teens. At first, it was great. Suddenly, he knew everything he could ever need to know. And being a young teen with not a care in the world, his first idea (once the novelty of watching copious amounts of porn in his own head wore off) was "how can I make money off of this?"

    And make money he did. Until he got caught for selling information that was supposed to be secret. He got off easy, still being a teenager. Then the paranoia set in. If the police could trace his movements, then who else could. Untold amounts of people could be watching him. What if other technopaths were watching him? He managed to survive okay until the end of high school and that was when it all took a sharp downward turn. His parents suggested he apply for the hero system. They rejected him on the grounds of his criminal record and the fact that he didn't seem quite mentally stable. After that Tori became a shut in, still making money semi-illegally and going outside as little as possible. He's not very good at functioning outside of his computers.

    Because of the lack of interaction with others and his paranoia, Tori is horrible with people. He's easily irritated, constantly looks tired from never getting enough sleep, snaps easily and is bad at reading situations. But hey, at least he's cute, right?

    Interests:
    -Conspiracy Theories (birds of a feather flock together and what not)
    -Cute animals (Although none of them seem to like him)
    -Alcohol (he may be a shut in but that doesn't mean he can't enjoy a nice drink every so often...or once or twice a day)
    -Part of him would actually really like to travel, but that would mean leaving the house and interacting with people so he probably won't any time soon. At least he can watch videos and look at pictures of places on the internet.

    Other: N/A

    ~~~~~

    Here you go. Have a grumpy, short, technopath who thinks the entirety of the world is out to get him. I might make another character who just has like a broken leg or something later. I dunno.

    Name: Isam Hajjar
    Age: 31
    Height; Weight: 5'6", 136 ibs
    Rank: Retired

    Superpower: Is badassery a super power?

    Falling Point: Suffers from PTSD

    Physical Description: Isam is 5'6" and muscular. His hair is black, curly, and shoulder length. It's often unbrushed and unruly, sometimes worn back in a ponytail. Being the manly man that he is, Isam shows off his black, fuzzy chest hair with pride. He often sports facial hair that changes depending on if he feels like shaving that morning. It grows back fairly quick. His skin is a medium brown, and his eye are dark brown. Isam's body bares extensive scarring, most of it from his years in the war. His fashion choices are hardly that; Isam is a utilitarian by nature. He wears army pants, earth tone t-shirts and tank tops, and combat boots almost every day of his life.

    Interests: Sleeping, Omar, sleeping with Omar.

    Other: Occasionally drowns his sorrows in copious amounts of alcohol. Did time in a French prison for being an asshole.

    Other Other: Isam doesn't like crowds or being around people he doesn't know. So going to the supermarket with him is absolute hell. Even in his own home, he gets bitchy when there are people over and they're walking around and won't sit the fuck down and holy shit why are you even here.

    He'll occasionally go hide in the bedroom whenever Omar invites people over.

    History: He was born and raised in Iraq. When Isam was young, a group of armed men came storming into his small village and opened fire on the civilians. The only reason for this violence was the village's refusal to harbor their men. They did it to prove a point: they were dangerous, and willing to flatten anyone who got in their way. That message stuck with Isam throughout his boyhood, until he was old enough to do something about it.

    With his family slaughtered and home in ruins, Isam had little to lose. As a child, he spent most of his time teaching himself to fight, so that some day, he could avenge his people. He joined a small group of terrorist busters: those stupid or suicidal enough to oppose the international war mongering regime: Manticore. Manticore, based out of the Persian Empire, had arms all around the world. Isam's little band of rebels was hopelessly outgunned.

    That didn't stop him from trying. What did stop him was his eventual capture by the group. Isam and a few other of his colleagues were caught trying to destroy a Manticore base. His comrades were quickly murdered, but Isam, who was the youngest and scene as the most vulnerable, was kept on hand so that they could gather information from him. He was held captive and tortured for a few months before his group finally found and freed him. By then, Isam was pretty fucked up. He suffered symptoms of PTSD, and was too traumatized to continue fighting the good fight. With his entire country turning into a war zone, Isam fled to find refuge in France.

    In France, Isam found that it was hard to give up fighting. Violence was something that was deep rooted into his system, something he'd lived with his whole life. His anxiety and paranoia made him turn to alcohol and bar fights as an outlet. Some people cope with traumatic events by joining a therapy group; Isam got drunk and beat the shit out of people. During this time, he frequented a nice, international restaurant. He went there to get real Arabic coffee, as black as tar, to counter his hangovers. This is where he met Omar.

    He may never admit it, but half of the reason Isam dropped six bucks on a cup of coffee was because Omar was the one making it for him. He would sit as his regular table and talk with the chef until Omar had to go back to work. Omar was different then most; he didn't scowl when Isam came in sporting a black eye and a busted lip. He had a kind and caring nature that made Isam want to be a better person, just so he wouldn't disappoint him. Omar was actually the one who came to Isam with a brochure for the apartments, insisting that Isam get help and break his bad habits.



    Name: Omar Bada
    Age: 32
    Height/weight: 5'8", 159 ibs
    Gender: Male

    Superpower: Unlimited patience, sweetness, amazing cooking skills, perfect in every way

    Falling point: There is none. He is the perfect man.

    Rank: Civilian

    Appearance: Omar is 5'8" and a little bit pudgy. He has medium brown skin, short, wavy black hair, and a neatly trimmed sideburns/beard/mustache deal. He can often be found with a smile on his face and a happy glimmer in his eye. He likes to wear comfortable clothing: jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, ect.


    Interests: Cooking is his life.

    Other: He loves having people over for meals. It's pretty much a given that any and everyone is invited over for whatever meal they want to show up for. Just as long as Omar is home and they aren't alone with Isam, who might kill them out of some misunderstanding. Omar's working on that.

    History:

    Omar was born in Herat, Afghanistan. When he was 15, him and his parents moved to France to get away from the constant war and terror that plagued their country. He liked France; it was a nice change of scenery. He began to pursue his interests in becoming a chef. He started at the bottom and worked his way up, working with some of the toughest chefs the small country had to offer. He moved to Paris once to work in a big, fancy restaurant, but found that the city was too busy and loud for him.

    After he moved to a smaller and quieter town, he met Isam. When he'd first laid eyes on the man, he was sitting alone at his table with a black eye and a busted lip, nursing a large mug of black coffee. He had clearly been suffering from what appeared to be a terrible hangover. Omar felt a stab of pity and made him breakfast on the house. After that, Isam became a regular. He would stop by often just to talk and order coffee as an excuse. Omar suspected that Isam was just lonely, but there was something charming about the way the man lit up whenever they spoke. Omar hadn't realized that he'd developed feelings for the man until Isam stopped coming for a while.

    Omar found himself worrying that the man might have gotten himself killed or something equally stupid. When Isam returned, Omar found out that he had spent a few weeks in prison for causing a scene at a bar. That had been the final straw. Omar sat down and had a heart to heart with Isam, basically telling him to get his shit together, because his life was worth a lot more than getting drunk and getting into fights. It was during that conversation that they finally confronted the feelings that had developed between them.

    Omar also introduced the idea of the apartments to Isam. It was a very unique program, to only one it the world, and Omar thought that Isam might benefit from it. He was willing to move to America with him if it meant Isam finally breaking his cycle of misery and self-punishment. Once they got there, Omar secured a job at a fancy restaurant downtown, and Isam began to slowly ween himself off the alcohol. He still breaks into his stash every once and a while, but Omar is willing to look past it as long as Isam behaves himself.

    yeah, sorry. I decided earlier on that four was the max that I was gonna accept.

    On the other hand, I am working on a quick map (or google searching a picture)of the House- which will be more a big house and less an apartment. And while I work on that and a first post, feel free to discuss relationships of the group amongst one another- i'd like to think they've known each other for a while- as well as any situation you'd like to plant them all in.

    You're lucky Inni, I started school yesterday.

    Let me see, Tori is frequently grumpy, doesn't know what's really socially acceptable to say out loud, is my quite sure how to function in society. He's pretty paranoid too. But hey, he's cute as a button.

    I wonder how Vi feels about him Inni, considering he his really cute but he's not the best person to be around.
