He was completely paralyzed until he was signed into a military research program as a lab rat, they gave him DNA from the Russian superhero Hammer and so he was given the ability to walk again, and increasing his physical durability.
After that he went into rigorous training to become a soldier for his country, he was tested on and eventually put into action when he was 14. They sent him into a hostage situation in an attempt to help save a number of hostages from a horrible fate. He succeeded and continued to do so throughout his life. At the age of 16 he became a national phenomena. He eventually worked with other super heroes around the world.

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue.

He was currently receiving an award from the prime minister of the UK for special service in an effort to protect a group of POI's in a terrorist crisis days ago. He stood at attention with the medal being put over his shoulders, he saw news cameras and photographers no one he cared about, he looked at the camera stone faced. He shook hands and walked off the stage but a gunshot rang out. He had a moment of shock then massive impact struck his shoulder, he heard shouts and other people screaming. A security guard put him over his should and helped him inside a building, Nikolai pushed his "savior" away and stood up on his own two legs. He looked at the impact hole in his shoulder pad and dug into it pulling the bullet out but only a small amount of blood was on the tip of it. Suddenly his thankfulness for Kevlar was renewed, he made it to a television and turned it on. Many news channels covered it, 'Scarlet Soldier shot at ceremony', already some had footage. Nikolai laughed at the tv with the man who had saved him simply staring.

"Leave me," Nikolai said coldly. Nikolai watched as the man left and Nikolai walked into a nearby bathroom and locked the door. He looked at himself in the mirror his black hair and his red eye piece, he looked down at his red and black armor, his chest piece and his holsters. He pushed back his long hair and removed his eye piece, he ran cold water and let it flow over his hands. He looked back up and smiled, "Time to go back to work."

It looks good, though in this game there is no Batman or Justice League, this game is original characters only, so unfortunately I cannot approve him as is.

Character you have created: Samson The Mighty/ The Youngster

Alias: Sam Osborne

Speech Color:

Character Alignment: Hero/Villian

Identity: Secret

Character Personality : Sam is a very headstrong individual. Before he even found out about what he can do he has always been arrogant. Because of his bloodline he has the heart of a warrior never turns down from a fight. He is very much a show off and has a hard time to take anything serious. Samson on the other hand is very different from Sam for instant he has the mind of a born leader. He takes nothing for granted and never overlooks the small things. He is a calm type and tends to never lose control of himself or whatever situation he is in.

Uniform/costume:

Origin Info/Details: His story begins on planet Zarrton. Sam’s real father Xon was known as a High Knight. On the planet Zarrton a High Knight is the king’s top soldier. The King had summoned Xon to his throne room after hearing the news that his First Commander High knight child hasn’t been born yet. It only takes Zarrtonian women 3 weeks to have their children and it’s been 5 weeks and Xon’s wife hasn’t had hers.

When a knight has a child he is automatically pledge into the knight’s army, unless the child is born as a sincraft. (Sincrafts are Zarrtonian’s born with a defect. The Zarronian race has a unique ability to age to the state when their bodies will be in its prime. When a Zarrtonian woman’s child is not born within three weeks this is a sign that the baby will be a sincraft. For the Zarrton race if a child is born a sincraft it is put to death no matter what along with the mother.)

When Xon approached the king’s throne room he went in on a kamikaze mission. His pride wouldn’t let him lie to the king so he knew that there was only one thing left to do. He knew he had to try and kill the king because if he didn’t the king would automatically put his wife and unborn son to death. So Xon went in with the intentions of killing the king and anyone that would dare stand in his way. Once in the throne room he told the king that his child wasn’t born yet. The king told him that this means only one thing that his wife and son must die. Knowing this Xon prepared himself for battle. Xon fought with all the other high knights knowing he was fighting a losing battle but this didn’t bother him none, all he had to do was buy his wife and unborn child some time. Xon gave everything he had to every punch and kick slam he deliver till he saw the sign he was looking for. Through all the chaos he looked to the sky and saw his wife escaping on a ship. Once seeing that he gave up fighting now that he had pushed his body way passed its limit holding off the other high knights. As the king was about to deliver the fatal blow he notice that Xon was laughing and as he looked closer he seen a remote detonator on Xon’s wrist. Xon knew that even that if his wife got away on a ship heading to another planet that wouldn’t be enough. There is a good reason why sincrafts were put to death and Xon knew why. Knowing this on the third week when his child still wasn’t born he had went around the world planting bombs on critical points on the planet.

Before the king could even move to stop Xon he had pressed the button blowing the entire planet away all to save his only son.

Xon’s wife space ship had crash landed on the planet Earth. When she landed she had sensed with her special ability that she had been notice and people were on the way to capture her. She did the only thing she could do and that was run. While running she knew that at any moment she was going to get captured in a matter of minutes and the only thing that mattered to her was unborn child. She also had sensed that when she crashed landed that her ship had force someone else close by to get in an accident. While running she came across a woman who was trapped in a flipped over red truck unconscious. She quickly flipped the truck back over and ripped the driver side door off. She placed her right hand on the ladies forehand and the other hand on her stomach. A blue color glow came from the alien woman’s hand and went into the lady. All of the ladies injuries had healed. The alien woman then ran off as she realized at the last second that the group that was after her was closing in. As she went to run away it was to late, they had caught her.

A month later the lady in the red truck had found out she was pregnant. This was a miracle to her and her husband being that before the accident she wasn’t able to have any kids. They didn’t know why or how she was able to have this child now and they didn’t care they were just happy that they were having a baby. During the course of her pregnancy, Janet had lost her husband Jim. Jim was a police officer who had got killed on the job. So after her husband past away she moved to the country because she figured it would be a better place to raise her son.

At the age of 15 that’s when Sam’s powers began to manifest but he never really truly knew what was happening to him. Some days he would be a little faster or he would be a little stronger and remember things that happened when he was 3 years old as if it had just happened. Each day it was always different. His powers came to full play on his 17th birthday, Sam and his mother went out for his birthday. As his birthday dinner was coming to an end a car had lost control and heading towards a group of people who were outside of the restaurant eating at the table outdoors. Without any care of someone seeing him he reacted as if this was something he was used to. He used his abilities to save everyone but thanks to all the chaos no one seen what really happened. The good thing of the accident he saved Lexa love the daughter of one of the richest men in Lost Haven but the down side his mother had got killed, she was crushed by a car. His father’s longtime friend who was also his partner in the force took Sam in as his own now that both of his parents were dead.

Hero Type (Select one): Supernatural (Divine agents)

Power Level (Select one below): World Level

Powers (Be Specific): Being that Sam is half Zarrton he has powers that people could only dream of. Zarrton’s are known throughout the galaxy as one of the top warrior races. Every gift that is bestowed to them ensures their victory in battle. Because of this alien blood that flows through Sam’s veins he gain unbelievable powers such Invulnerability, Flight, Super-strength, Accelerated Probability (which allows him to slow down time, analyze which action to take, with inhuman balance as well as execute the action in superhuman speed. The most unique thing about this ability it also allows him to run through a given combat situation millions of times in his mind, almost instantly covering nearly every possible result before the battle begins. The more he gains from fighting experience the more accurate the outcome.), Electric Manipulation, Decisive Memory (Anything that he has ever learned seen or heard from the day he was born stays in his mind as if he had just received the information. With this he has the ability to search through his memories as if he were re-experiencing them referred to as a holographic memory. Anything he learns he then has the capability to do it.), Reverberation Vision (This is a two in one power. Reverberation vision uses his super hearing to not only hear from a far distance but also see beyond the human eyes. As the bouncing of sounds and vibrations off the surroundings enable him to see what's happening. If he would use his power to listen into a room next to him, as sound bounces off objects or people in the room. In his mind he is painted a picture of the layout of the area and the people in the room would be seen as just a black figure. Now with his Decisive memory if he happening to be listening to a person talk. Instead of just being an image of a body he will see their face only if he has seen the person face to face and heard them speak.) Because Sam also shares human blood his body cannot maintain all these powers at once so he is left with only being able to use two powers at a time and they are only 50% of his full strength. But being that he is born a Sinacraft, when he screams out the name Sincraft a magical lightning bolt strikes him and he is transformed from a teenage boy into an adult man with all his abilities to his disposal at unbelievable levels.

Attributes (Select one at each category):

Strength Level: Youngster- 50, Samson- 100 tons.

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 100 MPH

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: 5 hours.

Agility: 20X Human level.

Intelligence: Genius (but with his decisive memory he has the potential to reach a greater intellect.)

Fighting Skill: Training

Resources: Minimal

Weaknesses: Being that his alien DNA is mixed with human DNA he cannot sustain his prime state for more than 3 hours out of 24 hours a day. In his normal state his body can only maintain two powers at a time and each one 50% of its strength. If he is not using his Invulnerability he can be hurt or killed just like any normal human in his normal state. Also in his normal form he cannot fly.

Supporting Characters : Sergio (best friend), David (fathers friend) , Alexandrina or Lexa Love the daughter of Leroy Love (Is the founder and CEO of Love Corporations. Also a major player with the crimes that happen in Lost Haven. King Zon (Is the ruler of the Zarrtonian race) General Void (Lord Samson right hand)

What can you bring to the RPG?: Some good ideas. Another rpger posting for the CAH. You know the same as everyone else.

Do you know how to post pictures on RPG boards?: Yea (maybe)

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):

I stand in front of my house looking out at what used to be a lively farm when my mother and I both kept it running together, as a family. The sun shines brightly down upon my face as the wind blows swiftly through the field of grass. It is moments like this when I really think of my her.

“I really need to stop coming out here by myself.” I say as I turn around to head in the barn.

As I turn around I see Lexa standing there.

“Your right you do need to stop coming out here by yourself…” she then walks up next to me and rest her left hand on my shoulders and looks me in the eyes. “…next time call me.”

I watch as she moves pass me and look at the sun in all its glory.

“Is it always this beautiful out here?” She asks as she turns to face me.

“Can’t say I’ve really notice.” That is obviously a lie.

“Oh I get it you have to try and be tough around the ladies.”

I laugh a bit. “Naw I don’t have to be tough around you Lexa. Really you are one of the few people that I feel like I can be myself with.”

“That’s really nice to hear.”

“I’m not saying it to be nice I’m saying it because it’s true. For that fact I have to ask you a question.”

She still thinks that I saved her life and I need her to think other wise. It would be easy for her to put two and two together and figure things out. I got to make this believable.
.
“That day of the accident was a day that changed my life because it was the day I met you.” Also the day when I lost my mother. “On that day you thought a truck had hit me when i came to shield from harm, the truth is it didn’t Lexa. As much as I would like to say I’m your hero and have superpowers I can’t. I need you to know that. Now I said I can be myself around you and that is what I’m doing. I feel that since you think I’m your hero is why you are friends with me like you owe me something. I’m just as normal as you, cut me and I bleed…” Maybe I shouldn’t have watched Spider-Man last night. “… I just need you to know that I’m not who you think I am. I’m just me.”

She only stands staring at me. I can’t tell if this is a stare of disappointment of what.

“Is that what you think Sam? That I’m only friends with you because I think you are a boy with powers? Sam I’m friends with you because you’re a wonderful guy and who I am its hard for me to find nice guys like yourself.”

“It just every time I see you your making a comment about me being a hero of something.”

She then breaks out in laughter. “We are having this conversation because of me joking about you being a hero? Sam I only am kidding with you that’s all. Member how I thought you got hit by the truck but it was my mind playing tricks on me. I did get hit in the head remember? I only say that stuff messing with you.”

“Really?”

“Yeah Sam really.”

“I really feel stupid now.”

She walks up besides me and grabs my arm and begins to giggle.

“I’m glad this happened now we have one of those odd moment memories to share with people.”

“I guess so.” I say as we both laugh.

I've updated the roster, adding Iron Knight (who I could have sworn I added awhile ago, but again, clearly didn't) and Youngster.

Because of Youngster's duality, I wasn't quite sure what to do with him, so I put him into the Walking the Line category, even though I know that it isn't 100% accurate

Well, the site went down last December and apparently since the owner of the forum didn't pay the fee for that month, the forum provide wiped the forums clean. Therefore, the person who started the forums created this one instead from scratch. I think that everything in a nutshell.

Create a Hero RPG Application

Character you have created: Sean Abbott
Alias: Mantis

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality: Sean is an ordinary 18/19 year-old kid thrown into an extraordinary situation. As Sean, he's kind and loyal. He's not an exceptional student, but he takes his education seriously. He has little trouble making friends, although he prefers to maintain close relationships with a small handful of people rather than being the life of the party. Sean, like most people his age, is unsure of himself at times, unsure of what he wants in life, and unsure of the future. He always strives to do what's right. As Mantis, Sean is witty and boisterous. The anonymity of his secret identity coupled with the sense of power gives Sean a cocky confidence that he never had. He wants to do right by other people by using his powers for the benefit of as many people in need as he can.

Uniform/Costume:



Origin Info/Details: Sean's life was, by all accounts, normal and uneventful. He had just started his first year of college. He was dealing with unresolved feelings after breaking up with his high school sweetheart. He was starting a new romance with a friend of a friend, all the while trying to juggle college coursework and a part-time job at Tons of Buns. Then, one fateful day, Sean crossed paths with a desperate scientist in the middle of Central Station on his way back to Lost Haven University.

The scientist worked for a shady corporation called Gene.Co, where he had been part of a team developing a strain of DNA Recombinant serums designed to create new metahumans. The scientist realized how Gene.Co intended to use the completed serums, and thus he stole it. Seeing an opportunity, the scientist dumped the serum vial into Sean's half-opened backpack to keep it out of Gene.Co's hands. When Sean got back to his room, he cut his hand on a shard of broken glass, and some of the serum got into his blood.

The serum altered Sean's DNA, giving him an array of bug-like superpowers. Scared and confused, Sean sought out a metahuman specialist named Dr. Milton Reed. Dr. Reed explained to Sean that the changes were permanent, although he believed that he might be able to generate an antiserum. Dr. Reed urged Sean to think on his decision, explaining that Sean's newfound powers need not be seen as a curse. Sean didn't want to hear it until a classmate and friend was mugged and hospitalized. Sean realized that his powers gave him an obligation to protect innocent people. Later that week, when a dormitory fire broke out on campus, Sean leaped into action (literally) to save the firefighter and students who were trapped inside.

From that point on, Sean realized what he must do with his powers. He would use them for the benefit of others, and he would become a superhero...

Hero Type: Acrobat

Power Level: City Level (Ex. Spider-Man, Cyclops)

Powers: Sean's strength and speed are dramatically increased from the normal baseline. He also possesses accelerated healing and greater resistance to injury. Sean can leap incredible heights and distances, and he can adhere to almost any surface thanks to millions of microscopic hairs on the palms of his hands and soles of his feet. Sean possesses a retractable exoskeleton which he can form in various shapes around his body. The exoskeleton also possesses a color-changing pigment which grants Sean moderate camouflage. Sean can also generate blasts of bio-electricity from his hands, giving him a "sting" that he can use at range.

Attributes

Strength Level: 20 tons

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 40 MPH

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: 2 hours

Agility: 15X Human level

Intelligence: Average

Fighting Skill: Untrained

Resources: Minimal

Weaknesses: While Sean does possess limited resistance to injury, he is by no means invulnerable. He must rely on his quickness and agility to avoid taking big hits. His exoskeletal armor protects him from most damage, but it also weighs him down significantly. On a personal level, Sean is fiercely protective of his friends and family and would be emotionally distraught if they ever fell into harm's way. On a less personal level, Sean feels obligated to protect innocents, a fact that villains can use to get at him or simply distract him for an easy getaway.

Supporting Characters

Chris Alovili: Sean's roommate. Chris seems to know everybody, and he's extremely well-liked across Lost Haven University. Chris is a very active person, often working out or playing sports, and he pushes Sean to be active both physically and socially.

Mary Robinson: Sean's new girlfriend. Mary is the first girl Sean has dated since breaking up with his high school sweetheart, Brooke [see below].

Brooke McFadden: Sean's high school sweetheart and ex-girlfriend. Brooke goes to Bristol College on the other side of Lost Haven. She and Sean broke up after high school so that they wouldn't be a distraction to one another in their first year at college. There are unresolved feelings between the two, but they remain close friends.

Dr. Milton Reed: A biologist and metahuman expert. Dr. Reed knows Sean's secret and helps him come to terms with his new life as a metahuman.

Vince Daniels: Sean's close friend from high school. Vince was actively involved in various extracurricular activities in high school, and he rarely had downtime for his friends. Vince's father is a politician and has high expectations for his son. Now that he's in college, Vince has time to hang out again. Vince is dating Abby [see below].

Abby Smith: One of Sean's oldest friends. Abby moved away when she and Sean were preteens, and she moved back for the last year of high school. Sean's friends and family often joke that Abby was Sean's first girlfriend due to their closeness. The two both deny ever having those feelings. Abby is dating Vince and attending community college in Carver.

Victoria Abbott: Sean's older sister. Victoria attends Bristol College as a senior. She and Sean are very close.

Sergeant Nicholas Hampton: Mantis' inside man in the Lost Haven Police Department. Sergeant Hampton is a good cop.

Do you know how to post pictures on RPG boards?: Yes.

Sample Post

After spending the majority of the afternoon in an empty construction site north of LHU, I'm beginning to learn the extent of these strange new "abilities" of mine. First of all, I'm way faster and stronger than I've ever been. My new-found agility is almost instinctual, allowing me to perform acrobatic maneuvers without any real training. I can leap incredibly high, by my count about a five story vertical jump. Somehow, I'm able to adhere to surfaces, allowing me to literally climb straight up a wall. Those weird segmented plates can cover my entire body or select parts, and I spent most of the afternoon learning how to control that. Also, I seem to able to generate some kind of yellowish energy blast from the palm of my hand. I accidentally clipped myself with one of them. It feels like licking a battery and getting a static shock put together, magnified ten or so times.

As you can imagine, I spent a lot of time asking myself how the Hell this could happen. Invariably, there was only one obvious answer. The mysterious man in the lab coat and his broken vial of green goop. Ever since I cut myself on the glass and got some of that stuff in the wound, I haven't been myself. At first, I thought I was just infected and running a fever. I would've gone to the hospital, except that my fever broke and my wound healed. Certainly strange, but I could have shrugged it off. If not for this. Whatever was in that vial, it's something big. I should've known from the second I saw the look on that scientist's face. He understood the gravity of it as well. If I want answers, I need to figure out what entered my body.

And for that, I turn to Google.

I enter the search terms "metahuman expert," and I'm greeted by page after page dedicated to one man: Doctor Milton Reed. He's a biologist who became fascinated with the rise of metahumans. I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone realized they could make a career out of studying these kinds of people. My kind of people, I guess. I click on a YouTube link of Dr. Reed giving a speech at Columbia University.

He's an older man, mid-to-late fifties, with graying hair, a full beard, and glasses. In short, he looks like a scientist. He pulls a series of index cards from his breast pocket as he adjusts the microphone. After clearing his throat, he begins, "Sic Parvis Magna. These are the words inscribed on Sir Francis Drake's coat of arms. Sic Parvis Magna. It means, 'Greatness from small beginnings.' In a way, I feel that phrase adequately captures the reality of most metahumans." He pauses for a moment, making eye contact with the crowd. "You'll note I call them metahumans. I shy away from using phrases like, 'superhuman,' as I feel that - in certain contexts - it invokes a sense of superiority. It is my opinion that the existence of these individuals enriches humankind, rather than diminishes it. In all respects but one, these individuals are just like you and me. They could be your neighbor, or your best friend, or the store owner down the street. They have jobs and hobbies and favorite restaurants. You could look at them and never know the truth."

At this point, I stop the video. As fascinating as I'm sure it is, I don't have thirty minutes to spend listening to the rest of it. It looks like this is my guy, and a little more Googling brings good news. He's living in Lost Haven, just south of Sherman Square. I think it's high time I paid the good doctor a visit. Grabbing my backpack, I dig out the broken vial from under my bed. All the pieces are still here, albeit broken as they are. Maybe Dr. Reed can identify what this stuff was.
