(((THE FIRST THREE POSTS OF THIS THREAD ARE FULL OF IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT IS FREQUENTLY UPDATED. PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING A CHARACTER)))

The development of the world has been shaped by the existence of supernormal powers. These powers are far more realistic than you might expect; all abilities are governed by the laws of physics. The Science is, while not 100% accurate to real life, far more realistic than you'd usually see. The science also strives to be more consistent. What happens with one power typically will happen with all of them. This incorporates several fundamental rules. Powers that apply force apply an equal and opposite force on their wielder. Powers run on food-energy that can, and does, run out. Guns are dangerous weapons that can't simply be ignored for the sake of convenience. The government is smart enough to hire it's own supernormals to keep things under control.

By group you mean like government, gang or police.

Right now that main ones are The police(if you're a supernormal you'll probably be in the NYPD SWAT team.), the Department of Supernormal Enforcement (or might be renamed to Department of Supernormal Affairs), the League of Masks (an illegal charity where people donate services and materials to fight crime. the services are typically beating people up but might also be healing or repairing your equipment or outfitting you with overtechnology.) and the New York Special Collections Network who are similar to the league of masks but they work for money rather than charity and tend to show up on both the good and bad side.

As for criminal gangs; none have been created yet.

Also, I think I got all the line breaks in. I'm gonna start building the group sheets now.

Boom, here comes Drake!

Character Name / Designation:

"Drake" / genetically engineered lifeform

DoB / "Emergence from Facility":

12/10/2014

Category:

Genetically Engineered Lifeform

Physical Characteristics:

Height - 5' 11"
Length (tail to nostril) - 8' 5"
Width - 3' 4"
Wing span - 14' 7"
Colouration - Maroon and black-speckled scales with vibrant red underbelly, wing leather is same vibrant red with spotches of similar maroon colour
Eye colour - Very dark brown, similar to eyes of lizard species



Powers:

Flight - Genetically modified to have light bone structures similar to avian fauna, with a second pair of lungs full of hydrogen for buoyancy and flight capabilities controlled internally by Drake, large wing span provides movement and control
Fire-breathing - Hydrogen can be expelled at intense velocity, reacting with gullet minerals consumed by Drake to spark and produce fire, potency similar to other PK abilities
Natural Claws, Teeth
Enhanced Muscles - Genetically modified to have strengthened muscles with minimal bulkiness, allows for flight and very modest amount of super strength
Regeneration - Over relatively short durations of time, Drake has the capability of fully healing broken muscles and scarred tissue at such a pace that might otherwise be considered 'super', but require extended periods of uninterrupted rest to achieve the desired results

History:

Drake, originally classified as 'GA-418', is a genetically modified organism created as a side project under Doctor Birmingham Bayly, co-head of the Joint Helix Corporation. The organization itself was dedicated to the research of biological discoveries and applications, with more classified projects working on non-microscopic biological warfare products for British and NATO armies. On the 12th of October, 2014, a malfunction at their research facility, located in the Highlands of Scotland hours away from any populated regions, caused significant outbreak of genetically altered lifeforms to escape, including GA-418.

The exact age of Drake is impossible to calculate without further analysis, as there is no comparable lifeform to match its growth pattern to. Suffice to say that, given its capabilities and its origins, Drake may be classified as an extremely dangerous non-microscopic biohazard.

Legal Status:

Non-human organism. Until further analysis is complete, Drake may be classified as an extremely dangerous non-microscopic biohazard.

Yeah I'm going to encorporate hiders for sure. It will hopefully look much neater soon. I'm still putting everything together right now.

The group sheets are up as place holders. More info will be added later but I tried to put the key stuff.

I can't check character sheets for approval right at this moment as I'm about to go for dinner.

Legal Name: Jack Pierre Kettering

Alias(es): Jack

Physical Appearance:
Height: 188 cm
Weight: 95 Kilos
Build: Rather muscular, with a layer of fat
Eye Colour: Blue eyes
Hair Colour: Lightish Brown
Clothes:Wears a black jacket, with khaki pants. He usually wears boots of some sort.

Race: Caucasian

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: 1986/10/3

Supernormal Category: Standard Deviation Human

Powers/Skills/Training: Chronokinesis:Ability to create a bubble accelerated or decelerated time.
Jack can prepare decent meals, stemming from times he has had to be a chef during his travels. He also has the capability to operate most communication technology, from telegraph keys to the very rudiments of quantum entanglement theory. He cans speak both English and French. Other skills include driving, basic marksmanship with a rifle, decent handling of a pistol, a working knowledge of knife fighting, and proper maintenance of weapons. He has about six years of training with his ability of Chronokinesis, which started once puberty set in. He went through training in the French Foreign Legion, and continued his training with his Chronokinesis in combat situations there. He also has trained in a unit designed to utilize his time manipulation abilities to their fullest.

Equipment/Property: Jack has a key for his apartment in New York, a holster for his pistol that is underneath his armpit, a blade kept on his shin, a cellphone, and his wallet. He wears a jacket reinforced with kevlar.

History: Jack was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan to a rather wealthy family. He picked up a fondness for cooking at a young age, which was encouraged by his mother. He did decently in school, until he started showing signs of powers around the age of thirteen. His mother was, Kendra Kettering was a Gravitokinetic, and his father, Adrian Kettering, possessed a super intellect and the ability to copy other psychokinetic powers, so Jack's potential as a super was rather likely.

He started being tutored in how to properly use his ability all through out the rest of his schooling, eventually deciding he'd do better utilizing his power to fight rather than for a civilian use, after ending up beating up a gang of seven people who tried to ambush him in an alley in Detroit, when he was sixteen. At that point, he started looking into a military career, seeing a path to hone himself to his fullest.

When he turned 19, he joined up with the French Foreign Legion, learning much of his military skills with his five years of service there. He served in several conflicts in the Middle-East and Africa, usually in a support capacity for a squad of soldiers. His service in the French Foreign Legion nearly removed his American citizenship, but due to never becoming a NCO in the Legion and the Legion never being hostile to the United States, he kept his US Citizenship. He was wounded in combat during his time in the Legion, granting him dual citizenship in both the US and France. After his service was over, he returned to the States, and took up residence in New York.

While in New York, he worked a bunch of odd jobs, usually in food joints and occasionally taking up a bit of muscle work. He eventually joined up with the NYSCN, trying to keep himself occupied with the jobs that were made available to him. He has been struggling to make ends meet through his work with them, and seeks something more to his life in New York.

Legal Status: Jack has registered voluntarily.
He is a former Legionnaire.
Jack has dual citizenship in both the US and France.
Jack does not have a criminal record.

Group Membership: He is associated with the NYSCN.

Legal Name: Anton Lepus

Alias(es): As an operative, 'Werwolf'.
Among those that know his origin, he is jokingly referred to as 'Ottobahn'.

Physical Appearance: Anton Lepus stands 6’4” in his jackboots. He has dark blond hair, a thin mustache, and a dashing saber scar; he looks like a meatier version of Errol Flynn.


Race: Caucasion

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: 1977/10/1

Supernormal Category: Transgenic Hybrid Human

Powers/Skills/Training: Primarily, Super Intelligence. While not exactly a Tony Stark-style inventor, he is a consummate schemer and manipulator- imagine supernatural cleverness rather than mechanical knowledge. (to balance out his other abilities, he can't/doesn't design and create overtech, but will happily make use of it).

Low-level super strength, speed, reflexes, and durability. This is a combination of good breeding(including supernormal DNA) and physical conditioning. For scale, he is easily an Olympic-level athlete, but a true superhuman speedster would leave him in the dust.

Anton is a learned man, by nature of his super intelligence, and has a very good grasp of many academic subjects including many foreign languages. He has been trained in many different methods of combat and war, from the individual level to the strategic, including special operations and espionage.

Anton is incredibly resistant to most any method of information retrieval. He has a high pain threshold, the skills to navigate questioning with ease and to evade modern methods of lie detection. More recently, Anton has learned to disguise his thoughts from mind reading with a combination of burying information, memetic activation, and disassociation.

As for hobbies, Anton has several. He is an excellent shot, a champion fencer, and a racing car driver.

Equipment/Property: Anton has no steady job but receives fairly steady income from his investments and assets which tally into the seven figures. If he doesn't own what he needs for a particular job, he can probably buy it, borrow it, or steal it.

History: After the Third Reich's defeat at the hands of the Allies in the Second World War, those members of the NDSAP and SS that weren't captured or killed scattered to the winds. Among those were famed Waffen SS commando Otto Skorzeny (b. 1908) and an unnamed Nazi mad-scientist, a counterpart to Mengele and von Braun.

While Skorzeny trawled France, Spain, and the Middle East for ODESSA, the Scientist found his haven in South America, and continued his experiments for the buried Reich.

When Skorzeny was diagnosed with cancer, the Scientist knew it would be a horrible blow to the number of groups making up the post-war 'Fascist International' were he to die. So he took a sample of the man's genome and spliced it together with samples of supernormal DNA, and made what we would now consider a 'test tube baby', resulting in an even more dangerous individual.

Ultimately, Skorzeny passed, killed by cancer in '75. But his genetic successor, christened Anton, was born and raised in the Nazi political underground of Argentina, where he was educated and trained. He inherited Skorzeny's great intelligence and the peak physical condition of the other component in his genetic make-up.

Anton has left most of the ideology behind, retaining only as much of the identity as he needs to stay on good terms with his contacts in South America. Now he holds dual Argentine/US citizenship, making his base of operations in [insert city name here] while he builds up resources for his own agenda. The once and future "most dangerous man in Europe" has his finger in everything from cutting edge research to freelance espionage to bounty hunting.

(left intentionally vague)

Legal Status: Duel Argentinian and American Citizenship. Wanted in Russia, hunted by FIS and FSB.

Group Membership: Sometimes works with the NYSCN

Other: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Skorzeny
If you happen to want to know more about the person Anton is based off of.

You still need height, weight, hair colour, eye colour, etc.

Also I'm not sure how this character will get involved in any events.
