MetaOps - Project: God Complex


This is a story based role-play about a group of super humans gathered together by the U.S. government to deal with superhuman threats against national and world security. Sound interesting? Than keep reading.

Synopsis: For the past several years, people with beyond human abilities have been appearing on Earth. What these abilities are and how they got them differ per person, but this created a bit of a problem for the world's leaders with keeping order. So, the U.S. government created Meta Operations, or MetaOps for short, to combat these threats to national and/or world security. MetaOps is a covert special forces division made up of a mix of normal humans and these super-powered individuals, who have been designated: meta-humans. Recently, a top-secret weapon created by the U.S. government has been stolen, and since the perpetrators of the crime were meta-human, MetaOps has been chosen to recover the weapon and neutralize the people responsible.

Rules
Alright, I'm going to be honest with you. This is my first time GMing. So, I'm probably going to miss something or make a mistake. If I do, please point it out so I can correct it.

1. Basic RP rules are in effect, so follow them.

2. This isn't a free RP it's a casual RP, so at least one paragraph per IC post and please try to use proper grammar and spelling.

3. I don't want to see anyone fighting in the OOC. Period.

4. If you plan to be gone for a few days, let us know. It's no fun for anyone if you come back to find your character dead because we thought you quit without telling.

5. If anyone wants to co-GM, just ask. I'll probably need the help.

6. If I've forgotten a rule that you think should be stated, than just politely say so.

7. Most importantly: have fun. You break this rule, than I sentence you to be hung by the neck until you cheer up.

ATTENTION! IMPORTANT NOTICE!

Code Name: Widowmaker

Real Name: Michelle Kine

Age: 27

Gender: Female

Nationality: American

Powers: None. She is a normal human through and through. Instead, she has these talents:
-Sharpshooter: Michelle is a master with virtually any firearm one could come up with. Pistols, sniper rifles, grenade launchers, you name it, she can use it.
-Battle instincts: honed through a lifetime of fighting both normals and super humans, Michelle both reacts and recovers more quickly than most.
-Fist fighting: Just because she uses firearms so much doesn't mean she doesn't know how to fight without one.

Origins/History: Michelle grew up in a rough neighborhood. Gangs controlled the streets, and not even the police did anything about them; in fact, some were even bribed to keep their noses out of the conflict. As a result, little Michelle had to learn how to fend for herself. It certainly wasn't easy, especially since she was a girl. In time, though, she earned a reputation among the gangs so they knew not to bother her.

Of course, things took a turn for the worse when she encountered a gang leader who was a super human. She fought hard, but she ultimately could not contend. Before she faced complete defeat, however, she was fortunate enough to have another super human interfere in the fight and save her. Michelle was too proud at first to express her thanks, but they eventually became good friends.

When they grew up, they enlisted in the military. The two went through tough times, both in the field and at home, but they were inseparable. At least, until one day, when two were caught by surprise and Michelle's friend died in the firefight by another super human. Michelle had quickly killed the one who had done the deed, but it did little to ease the pain of the loss.

Shortly after, Michelle was approached with the offer to join MetaOps, which Michelle accepted.

Personality: Michelle has a hard look in her eyes, as if she had seen terrible things. She's also not the most chatty person either. However, the look can soften, and a kinder personality will show. In a fight, there's no one else you would have to stay by your side, and will stay by you if your death slowly approaches.

Code Name: Witch

Real Name: Samantha Choi

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Nationality: Korean-American

Powers: Witch has telekinesis, similar to having an extra pair of long, strong, invisible arms. Limited to a range of twenty meters, the strength of her telekinesis is directly related to Witch’s physical strength and fatigue. The more in shape she is, the more weight she can carry. However, her telekinesis does not simply extend her reach; the weight she can carry through telekinesis versus how much she can normally carry is multiplied by a factor of ten. If Witch can lift up a one hundred pound object with her hands, she can lift a one thousand pound object through telekinesis.

Other notes about her “arms”:
  • Witch must be able to see what she is trying to carry.
  • Her telekinesis can also be used to lift herself up, giving the impression she can fly or float.
  • Finally, her “arms” are not only good for carrying things, but also smashing or tearing things. Again, they are like invisible arms, so anything a normal person could do with their arms, she can do with her extra ones.


Origins/History: Samantha had a fairly privileged life prior to joining MetaOps. She attended college for a major in physics, but Sam still found enough free time to party almost every weekend (except for during midterms and finals. Nobody parties during midterms and finals). She didn’t get into any trouble during college, however, and graduated at 22 with a stellar GPA.

After graduation, however, things got a little difficult. Sam had trouble finding a job, so she got on the next flight to Korean and stayed at her grandparents’ house in Seoul. It was in Seoul that Sam realized that she could pick things up from a distance, something she swore she couldn’t do beforehand. She began toying with her newfound power in the safety of her own home, slowly getting accustomed to using her extra arms. Sam began to piece together the details of her power; their effective distance, their strength, and how they related to her strength.

It didn’t take long for her grandparents to find out she had telekinesis. After long deliberation, they ultimately decided to turn Sam in to the authorities. Sam refused, running from her grandparents’ home out of fear. However, Sam’s inherent recklessness kept getting her into trouble. She would abuse her power to try to steal from stores in order to survive on the streets of Seoul. For several months, Sam got along nicely in Seoul. However, her luck eventually ran out, and a shopkeeper noticed that he was being robbed. Sam managed to escape, but the security footage didn’t lie. The shopkeeper alerted the government right away.

As soon as the guns started to be waved at Sam, she surrendered. She was held in isolation for several days while the Korean officials decided what to do with her. Ultimately, she was handed over to the US government and given to MetaOps.

For her first year at MetaOps, much of her time was devoted to strengthening her powers and learning their limits, as well as extensive training in hand-to-hand combat. Sam found that she was a quick learner in hand-to-hand and quickly excelled. She’s no expert, but she’s pretty damn good at it. After that first year, Witch was deemed ready to go out into the field, and has since spent a year operating for MetaOps.

Personality: Sam’s primary trait is that she is absolutely curious about everything. If she doesn’t know something to a satisfactory degree, Sam will question anyone she can until she does. However, her curiosity comes with a downside. Her inquisitive nature often leads to strong cynicism, so she finds herself questioning people’s motives more often than she’d like to admit to.

Not to say that Sam is an absolute cynic. She still considers herself fortunate that MetaOps picked her up from the Korean government and that she doesn’t have to spend the rest of her life in a prison or lab somewhere, and Sam keeps that in mind at all times. She has utmost respect for authority within MetaOps and has fierce loyalty to the division.

For the most part, Sam thinks in a procedural, rational manner, but it doesn’t take much for her to lose her cool. She’s young, she’s reckless, and MetaOps often finds itself having to clean up after her or reprimand her actions or rein her in.

Appearance: Sam is small and unseeming, standing at only 5’4, but the nature of her power requires her to stay in excellent physical condition. She’s short, but she’s tough, and has a strong, muscular body to make up for her size.

As for her other features, Sam has bleached and dyed her naturally black hair into a beach blonde color, wearing it in a medium-length ponytail. She wears thick frame glasses over her dark brown eyes which she replaces with contacts when she is sent on a mission.

Speaking of which, her mission attire is a completely black, full-body jumpsuit, with pockets scattered over her legs in various sizes to carry a multitude of things. In addition to this, Sam wears military-grade combat boots and gloves and is more often than not found wearing a different kind of hat on her head.

@Guess Who thank you for this image! Sam in her suit (minus the goggles)


(the idea for Sam’s power was most definitely inspired by both Chronicle and Elfen Lied. in fact, I might as well have taken a carbon copy from both of them and placed it here, so you could most definitely refer to those if you want a clearer picture of Sam’s power!)

@baskets Looks good. Thought I would try helping by finding a picture to match the appearance you have, but this is the best I could come up with:

It's fine if you want to keep the text as the appearance if you don't like the image, especially since the image doesn't even show the character's face.

Powers can be magic-based if that's what you're asking. Again, just as long as it's not overpowered (i.e. Scarlet Witch) or completely ridiculous (i.e. Arm-Fall-Off Boy).

Code Name: Bright Angel

Real Name: Unknown (Known by Angelica or Angelina due to what she does with her powers)

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Nationality: French

Powers: Matter reconfiguration: Angelica's power in a nut shell is quite simple, yet highly complex. Her body is capable of deconstructing any living, or non living, thing to it's base matter by absorbing it into her body through her hands. The amount in which see can take in is limited to her own size. At this point her body can transform the matter into any kind she desires it to become. Then once taken in her body can produce anything of equal matter from any part of her body. The conditions for this ability are very intriguing though. If she takes in a tree for example, a living thing, then she must produce something that in someway is connected to her body that is also usable like another arm, wings, or maybe internal organs to heal herself. If it's something that wasn't alive then it can't give her anything like the above mentioned. Instead it would have to produce something like armor, a gun, or maybe a glass dove if she really wanted! The biggest thing though is making sure she has equal matter of any kind. It should also be noted that a black hole appears on her palms when she uses this so whatever she's taking in is literally torn apart on a molecular level. It should be noted that this process is time consuming and is not instantaneous or quick. In fact it is slow enough that a living target would feel the excruciating pain of there body being slowly torn apart not just where the cut off would end up being when it's stopped or ended. It should be noted that once she takes something in the recharge time can vary from 20 seconds (Really small object) to 15 minutes (IF she were to intake a full capacity) and then the time to change the matter into what she desires anywhere from 15 seconds to 10 minutes depending on how similar an object is to the desired material and also the amount she has to change.

Origins/History: Born in Paris Angelina was born to a fairly rich family and was allowed to do nearly whatever she wanted for her early life up until she was about eight when her parents were murdered in their home. She would have died too if not for the house catching fire causing the murderer to flee before he found her. This didn't hinder Angelina though, well emotionally it got her down for a bit, but she continued on trusting that God would guide her life.

After three more years when she turned 11 Angelina being the head of the family decided she wanted to try and live in America for a few years. This was due to not wanting the pressure of media she recieved in France at such a young age. Once she was in America she hid who she was really not letting people know she had plenty of money and had it really good even without her parents around. This when the French media caught on to her move one of her care takers helped her change her identity at the age of 13 and from there she was finally home free!

Then another accident happened. While on a trip her caretaker died in a climbing accident while Angelina was on her own at the age of 16 leaving her completely alone in life, other than her friends at school and that she'd made around the town. The problem was no one knew who she really was anymore. Only she knew her secret, and then Angelina was involved in her own accident. She had always been interested in science due to that being part of her families business and why she had all this money, so she decided to visit a genetics research lab. They had been testing a new toxin capable of altering a personals DNA, but they weren't sure what it would do. Well unlucky for everyone there they got to be the test subjects.

A gas line exploded inside the compound exposing everyone inside that part of the building to the toxin. Most died from genetic defects afterwards, others ruined for life with mental illnesses, some were just changed...They were different...Angelina was one of these people. The doctors had no idea who she was or anything. When she came to she didn't remember anything about herself either. She had amnesia, and on top of that several bodily injuries some of which they weren't sure if she would ever recover from them. When a doctor tried to explain what was happening and how she may never fully function again Angelina got so upset. The doctor place and hand on her arm and she ended up grabbing his arm and suddenly he started to disappear into her hand. All of her wounds were healing and after they were healed she grew bright white angel wings which wrapped around her protectively. After the government was informed she was taken away so that they could figure out what to do with her. Thus the obvious answer was suggested and followed through with...MetaOps...

Personality: Since the amnesia Angelina is quite confused. She understands that she killed the doctor on accident and had to be punished somehow, but everything was just so confusing. Thus she believes anything anyone tells her for the most part and follows orders without question. Basically the mission is all that matters to her and she almost thinks like a child not knowing right or wrong fully. She means well in all of her actions though, even if it might hurt someone.

Code Name: Evil Eyes

Real Name: Cliff Page

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Nationality: Swiss-American

Powers: Manipulation of Kinetic energy. Cliff is able to manipulate any object that moves, be it himself, a thrown object such a ball or even (with enough intense concentration) a bullet. The smaller and faster the object, the greater the concentration and chance of failure, a slower larger object can be manipulated quite easily. However, something like a thundering freight train may as well just keep on going.
The power requires intense levels of concentration and only works on something already moving, or imbued with Kinetic energy. Cliff cannot turn potential energy into kinetic energy without regular human means.
He can speed or slow his own body to varying extents, though this is most often employed as a fighting technique, where he can increase the speed and power of his strikes dramatically at a higher rate of fatigue. In desperate enough times he can speed his whole body to make a quick escape, but only over short distances.
Mental fatigue is a constant issue, and violent mood swings can occur as a result.

Origins/History: Ever since Cliff was born, he had always been...something else. He was different in ways he couldn't even fully comprehend. He showed alarming talent for physical activity and sports, but his academia suffered due to a lack of concentration and problems controlling his temper.
He frightened the other kids and grew up mostly friendless. Repeated attempts at psychiatry left his parents emotionally and financially drained, leading them to turn him loose as soon as they felt he was grown up enough to take care of himself. Cliff was intensely bitter about what he considered to be abandonment by the two people he had always felt he could turn to. Truth be told he was as scared of the world around him as it was of him.

In those turbulent years he tried to find out more about himself, paying for blood tests and volunteering for medical testing, but his results were always confidential and he was always turned away from being a test subject. Vague excuses being administered by nervous doctors just pushed him further to uncover the truth.
In his searching he found bits and pieces of information on an experiment being run through the years around his conception and birth of pregnant women given in vitro injections under the guise of "tests" or "supplements" to make sure their baby was as robustly healthy as possible. The vast majority of the subjects reported stillbirths, and the percentage of children who survived were kept under constant yet covert observation until the program was deemed a failure and shut down for good. Very little information was made available, and Cliff's only source of information was one out of work reporter who stank of rum constantly.
Guess he must have dug too deep, because Cliff found him in his home with his throat slashed. Despondent, he gave up and sank into a depression

He did okay for himself for a while, working menial construction jobs to little avail. He soon found drugs and suddenly a whole new type of people who weren't frightened of him, but instead would keep him off his head and encourage his violence rather than scold him for it.
As anyone could guess adding hardcore drugs (meth, heroine, pcp, you name it) to an already unstable, violent man was just a recipe for a total disaster.

He was arrested during a raid on a known drug den, covered in blood and catatonic. He was clearly coming down from the cocktail of narcotics leaving his system.
Among his victims were two powerful, slippery drug lords who had evaded arrest for a decade. Cliff was arrested, but never went to trial. Instead he was identified as one of the children from the testing, and given the fact that he had made the streets significantly safer, he was given special consideration and after a rigorous rehabilition accepted into the Meta Operations. He figured he could use this to find out more about how he became the way he was.

Personality: Cliff doesn't warm up to people, and finds them difficult to communicate with. His powers often cause him mental drain, leading to him saying little and appearing very distracted, and his violent mood swings cause contention with most people he meets. However, underneath all of that is a man who has been to his lowest point and risen back up slowly but surely, someone who is less inclined to words and more driven to action and someone who certainly knows his rights from his wrongs. He has no beef with any of the MetaOps personnel despite rubbing most of them the wrong way. If it came down to it, he would stand in front of a bullet for any of them.

Appearance:

I promise I'll fill in the appearance and code name soon. When I think up a good one and when it's not time for bed.

Sorry if this sucks, I've just hammered it out at the very end of the day. If anything needs fixing or clarifying or if it just needs to be better, please let me know :)

@Ciphra An interesting character, my only problem though is the power. It just seems too powerful. I can easily see her one-shotting at least one of the villains that will appear later. I'm sorry, but could you think of something else?

Code Name:
The Wiz

Real Name:
Alexander Ziker

Age:
24

Nationality:
Caucasian

Powers:
Energy Constructs
Alex can create tools, weapons and other objects from Energy. He can create any can imagine but has to have a good idea how it functions. His constricts can be broken if the amount of force that is applied is greater than the amount the user's imagination can produce.
Alexander can use this ability through a wand with a glowing, pink colored, diamonds shaped object on the top. His energy constructs are all colored neon pink.

Origins: Alex grew up in a fairly normal environment. Despite having to raise a child as a single parent, his mother still did her best to give her child what he wanted. There was never a shortage of fun when it came to spending fun with his mother. Alex never knew his father, and truly never cared to ask about him. His mother did all she could to be a mother and a father to her son. She had the privilege of having a well paying job a computer programmer, giving her the opportunity to work at home, and spend time with her child.

Alex was never a straight A student, but he did what he could in school. Alex was fortunate enough to get into a good collage. Unfortunately, Alex struggled with school, stress angered him, but he hid it with humor. To make things worse, his mother was starting to have health problems. Alex was slowly getting depressed, and for the first time in his life he wished he had a father.

The was the lowest point in his life, once he hit his Jr. Year, Alex barely went to school anymore. His mother could not do anything to help her son, since she had a hard time even helping herself. This was the time when hour begin to develop his powers. Alex retreated to his imagination during this time, hopping to escape from the world around him, maybe to unwind. When what he thought up came into existence, he was astonished, disappointed that it was pink, but was amazed. He showed his mother this power, but when she saw it, she was not amazed, instead, she was horrified. She contacted the authorities and he was taken into custody.
Alex was soon handed over to MetaOps, since then he has been trained to control his ability. Learn how it works, widen and make more use of his imagination, he will soon be ready to be sent out. Unfortunately, Alex still has mixed feelings about his mother.

Personality:
Alex is easygoing, upbeat, energetic, funny, flirty and loves to tell jokes, even if they aren't funny. Alex is genuinely very intelligent and honest, and cares about his friends and family. He sometimes doesn't think before reacting and he enjoys pulling pranks on people, especially those who he doesn't like. Despite his jokey attitude, Alex has been shown to have a serious side, which happens when he is angered by someone or when the situation calls for it.

I'm very interested in this. I'll have a sheet up sometime later today!

Would an immortality-like power be too much? What I had in mind was a sort of super-regeneration that takes several hours to kick in, and that can heal wounds of nearly any severity, even if the character is clinically dead. (Basically , Nathan's power for anybody who's watched Misfits)

So the main use of the power would be letting the character be reckless and be kind of the point man of the team, but if he suffers a significant injury, he's out of that specific fight.
