Mara the Magician; his player left soon after.Too bad, seemed like an interesting one.
<Snipped quote by Sapphire> Beau would take offense to that ew. He'll be sure to eat your character first.Good luck with that... In theory our characters are very similar, where yours gave in and became stronger, mine didn't and has a rough time usuing others powers because she does not use force. I think a fight between them would be very interesting.
Yes, powers are completely heretical.Do you mean hereditary? As written you are saying that powers are considered heresy.
<Snipped quote by NarcissisticPotato>Do you mean hereditary? As written you are saying that powers are considered heresy.Shhh! You didn't notice that, Revan! Yes, I did mean hereditary - my words got mixed up. Also, having powers is considered heresy by a lot of the religious systems especially Catholicism primarily because of the whole "false prophets" bit!
That power you proposed actually sounds really cool! I imagine such a character would be valuable to any side!I imagine at least a few factions would be willing to use some pretty underhanded tactics to acquire someone with that power...I'm kind of picturing an outright fight for him now actually.
Er...I'm thinking his is still open as there are no IC posts yet. So I've decided to make an app, if it sucks a lot just tell me, I am still new to this rp thing.No, that's a really good CS! This is going to be my first time saying this but what the hell; your weaknesses outweigh your strengths. Feel free to add a bit more of them. You also realise there's two technopaths in this RP, right? Also guys, this will either start tonight or tomorrow as Arc 2 is reaching completion!Name: Formerly Hayden Williams, now Tribuo Spero. Alias(s): Overdrive Age: 2 Affiliations: Corporate Factions: Reformist Council Description:His body is a dark blue color, his armor does it's best to hide his insides but some of his inner workings occasionally show themselves when he stretches or is damaged. His eyes glow red during combat, but outside of a fight his visor glows a bright blue. Powers:Weaknesses: As he does process a mechanical body he must come in for maintenance at certain times. Although his body is made of advanced materials he is still affected by extreme temperatures, such as absolute zero, in such low temperatures his AI core will forcefully shut down in order to protect itself. Alternatively while he can survive the heat of a single explosion, repeated exposures or an increase of, will begin to melt his joints together. But his weaknesses aren't all external, due to the unstable nature of his power core it can often overheat, it will overheat especially if he attempts to draw on multiple abilities at once. For example, if he taps into his speed and energy blasts, he will be able to maintain the combo for a few minutes before overheating and forcing a shutdown. Additionally, while he is trained with the utmost precision, and possessing a high end body, his actions are still limited by his personality. Skills: Advanced Training in Marksmanship, basic first aid, human anatomical information, and paper craftsmanship. Equipment:
- Super Strength: He can lift a garbage truck with some trouble, and shatter a small boulder. This can also translate to other uses or limbs.
- Super Speed: He can run just short of the sound barrier.
- Energy Projection: He can fire off super heated plasma in any direction he chooses thanks to his arm mounted cannon.
Ranking: I want to say A, but I really have no sure idea. Brief History: Due to the increased appearance of Meta humans many corporations, specifically private security, wanted to have an advantage of some sort against these people. A meta under their control, their power house to shove around or to order. Their solution was to hire the best in robotics, Dr. Phillip Smith. Phillip before his contract was desperate for funds, obtaining the metals he needed was overly expensive, and without any form of funding he was quickly loosing money. Upon hiring the Dr. Smith they offered him continuous and unlimited funding if he provides them a working war machine capable of standing toe to toe with any meta human, and so it was Phillip worked tirelessly on designs, calculations and formulas. Eventually he had constructed a working body, but as his time with the company grew he began to see precisely what he was doing. He was desperate when he accepted but upon building the war machine he wondered if it was truly a wise idea, this machine would be free to attack whomever it chooses, with no conciseness to temper it's actions. Unable to build a truly sentient and caring AI program he, with the CEO's approval, sought out a 'willing' subject. To the outside Dr. Smith was offering an experimental cancer cure, but known only by the doctor and the highest officials in the company, they would be removing said patients consciousness. Of course, there were thousands of applicants, but the Doctor chose the first person he saw on the list, Hayden Williams. Upon acceptance Hayden was brought to the laboratory the Doctor was working in, wherein he was told to lie on a table and accept anesthesia. The operation took much longer than anticipated, removing the brain was a careful matter, but the doctor managed to place Haydens consciousness into a tiny chip and attached it to his robot. Upon booting up the robot seemed to contain no memories. At this moment the doctor was pleased he had saved a life, but distraught he had retained none of his previous life. Unlike the doctor the company was simply pleased to have it online, and immediately sent it into a simulated battle-zone full of civilians and meta human terrorists. However in the middle of the simulation, when a terrorist held up a hostage Hayden hesitated on the killing blow. The company was unsatisfied, they had wanted to unthinking death machine capable of standing up to metas, instead they had just gotten another human soldier.
- Mechanical Body: Because his body is a machine, naturally he can be upgraded at any time, already he processes a wide array of advanced circuitry made with his AI core in mind. This also means he is stronger, durable, and faster than regular humans.
- Plasma Cannon: An arm mounted weapon, capable of melting through the thickest of steel walls. He can change the setting on demand.
- Duotronic AI power core: This power core pumps a clean, seemingly unlimited power source through his body. The power core also contains his AI chip, which contains his personality and consciousness.
- GTG-6: A new compound of various metals and plastics made to provide a lightweight, durable, and in particular bullet proof body.
Also guys, this will either start tonight or tomorrow as Arc 2 is reaching completion!AHHH! I still have to finish my CS! Typing it all out takes forever!
<Snipped quote by NarcissisticPotato> AHHH! I still have to finish my CS! Typing it all out takes forever!The thing about this story is that characters can drop in and out at any real time so feel free!

<Snipped quote by NarcissisticPotato> That's weird, Catholicism has been pretty based when it comes to scientific discovery as of late.Trust me when I say I speak from experience. Catholic boys Grammar school ftw. Anyhow, most of the Old Testament Rulings have been cast out but most of Jesus' teachings have been held very firmly. The term "false prophets" can be taken very differently but I imagine that most in the church would be very opposed to Metahumans. I suppose the better ones who live a "Christian" life would be more easily accepted but the point still stands.

Anyhow, I digress. In answer to your questions, Bastion, Metahumans make up about 0.5% of the population or around that number. They're spread out though so their population density isn't overly high. Exceptions are big cities like LA, New York or Washington. Yes, powers are completely heretical. As I mentioned in the OP, the government were involved in something called Project Genesis in which they tried to breed Metahuman super-soldiers using two powerful metas. That power you proposed actually sounds really cool! I imagine such a character would be valuable to any side!Well thank you! In that case, I think I might write him up, and then possibly fall back on one of my other characters if anything... ah... untoward were to happen to him.
<Snipped quote by NarcissisticPotato> I imagine at least a few factions would be willing to use some pretty underhanded tactics to acquire someone with that power...I'm kind of picturing an outright fight for him now actually.Oh my! I can't decide whether he would love that or hate it. Probably a bit of both, depending upon how they went about it.
<Snipped quote by Alternax> No, that's a really good CS! This is going to be my first time saying this but what the hell; your weaknesses outweigh your strengths. Feel free to add a bit more of them. You also realise there's two technopaths in this RP, right? Also guys, this will either start tonight or tomorrow as Arc 2 is reaching completion!I originally planned for him to obtain upgrades over the course of the RP, since he does serve under a corporation and a scientist. As for technopaths, I don't know what those are but I imagine they're like Magneto, in which case i'd like to point out my guy is half sci-fi metal and half sci-fi plastic. But as for my guy, here's a few versions of him. Only the powers and equipment are adjusted of course.
<Snipped quote by Alternax> So, is this guy the first ever humanoid battle robot? Because if so his existence carries huge implication. How'd he become a Reformist?For your first question yes, to the public he's supposed to be an advanced humanoid drone pushing the boundaries of robotics. But only those on the inside know the details. For your second question, to be honest I'm still not quite sure what faction he should be in. If we're allowed to do our own side plots I plan for Hayden to 'awaken' and fight those who control him. I want him to be a hero, but at the start of this he'll be ordered around by the corporation that owns him, and consequently the government. Maybe he's a reformist because the corporation he serves under wants to 'protect' the people, and they'd need their own power house to do it.
