Won't argue with you if you don't like the Origins/History section. It was pretty much the only thing I could think of, and will do my best to remake it should you say so.



Code Name: Pirate Queen

Real Name: Cathryn Tessaro

Age: 30

Gender: Female

Nationality: Italian-American

Powers: Weapon Manipulation. Capable of summoning many different types of weapons. Ranging from small pocket knives and pistols, to heavy caliber weaponry like machine guns and launchers. As well as heavy weight swords, maces, and axes. Even bows. All the while having inexhaustible supply of ammunition. Has even summoned larger weapons like cannons, but can get quite exhausted when summoning even one.

She can also operate weapons telekinetically. Allowing her move, fire, and reload weapons without physical contact. However, the range is quite limited to the size of the weapon. Small firearms like pistols can only go approximately four feet from her. Swords and other melee weapons can go farther, about ten or so feet. Larger guns like assault rifles and shotguns go about the same distance. The number of telekinetically manipulated weapons is limited as well. Three firearms max, five melee weapons max. This number is excluding any weapons she is currently holding.

A unique thing about her power is her instantaneous, yet temporary, mastery of any weapon or weapons she operates. Once she stops operating the weapon(s) she loses all knowledge on how to handle the weapon.

Origins/History: Cathryn didn't learn of her powers till she was 19, when she was aboard a passenger vessel with her parents. The vessel was boarded by some lowly local pirates attempting to seize the vessel and kill anyone who stood in the way. She noted they weren't very organized, but stayed to the side. It was when her mother accidentally bumped into one of the pirates, which proceeded to beat her mother, that caused her to interfere. The man's assault rifle being tugged away from him, first by her own hands, but then by telekinetic means. Shortly after seizing the rifle from him, it was aimed at him, then a few shots rang out. She then became interested in modern piracy a few years after.

Cathryn was more than just some pirate in desperate need of money, she was quite successful. Branded as a national, and even an international threat at some point in her time of tyranny. The name Pirate Queen is more true to it's word than most would like to believe. She was the ring leader of a pirating syndicate. Terrorizing the waters around the world, taking out smaller pirate groups and some larger ones. Even finding a way to terrorize two of the Great Lakes for a few months. This earned her a mixed reputation amongst the world. They were thankful that she took out some of that other pirate rings, but were fearful if she became the only pirate leader and collapse the global economy. The Navy tended to be wary of her presence, sending out messages, warning to keep her distance and warning shots fired in the vicinity of her ships. Which were empty to her and usually pushed the lone vessels out of her area.

She had pretty good control over the international waters. But one day, the Navy came up with a plan. Not a mouse trap, or assassination. Those had been tried one too many times for their comfort, and she had noticeably learned from those attempts. No, their plan was something they only tried once before, that ended in a stalemate between the two forces. A head on fight, no sneaky operations. Just a straight head on fight between both forces, but they got their timing right. Bringing a force over twice the size of hers while she was on patrol with three ships.

The battle was still ferocious, but she was ultimately taken down. Her own personal, nearly sunken ship being towed behind a Navy vessel. They didn't want to take her aboard, fear of her commandeering the vessel then fleeing. She was to be given specialty treatment. This treatment being a special firing squad that sat back about 20 feet to ensure that even if she did try to shoot at them, they could take her out before she could take the whole squad out.

And it almost happened, but someone paid her a visit on the scheduled day. And asked a few questions. Shortly after the visit ended, she was given to the U.S. Government who placed her in MetaOps, and has been in the group for a few years now

Personality: A very pompous and flirtatious woman who will get what she wants one way or another. She does suffer from occasional depression, and refuses to talk to anyone as to why.

@LokiLeo789 Seems good. Currently using a school computer so it's blocking the image, but I'm sure it's fine. Good to have a more upbeat character.

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.


A healing factor is completely fine. Go for it.

@Slypheed Bit of a stretch on the Origins I'll admit, but you can keep it. Go ahead and post it in the character tab. Just wish I could see what all these characters look like. Stupid school computers, making me wait 'till I get home to see everyone's characters.

Not trying to sound argument ice I'm just on my phone right now and. At lunch. Would it be okay if there was a heavy time cost making the absorption process longer and or switch time between creation and absorption and or limit intake further though she's pretty small as is so it's already not too much.

Code Name: Chimera

Real Name: Drake Marble

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Race: He's an all-American mutt, with Indian, Native American, Irish, German, Mexican, and pretty much anything else you could think of, but he comes from America.

Powers: Drake is a shapeshifter, but strangely enough he can't use his powers correctly. Instead of simply being able to turn into something or someone at will, for some reason he simply can't do it. Instead, he must observe an animal or person he wants to turn into for almost hours at a time in order to perform the shift, so instead of simply trying to master several forms he's only mastered one, something which he calls the "Chimera". The Chimera is a massive beast almost the size of an elephant, and is a mix of the most deadly creatures in the world. It has the head and claws of a wolf, wings of a giant bat, the tail of a lemur, the horns of a rhinoceros, and a scorpions barb on the end of its tail. Drake is always trying to find room for improvement on this form, always researching animals to make it more effective in battle. As the Chimera he has incredible strength and speed, as well as the ability to hear and smell things from miles away. His wings allow him to fly for large distances, and even carry others with him at times.

Origins/History: Drake came from a very normal, ordinary family with only one exception: his parents were both 'gifted'. His father was a shapeshifter, his mother had the ability to neutralize or negate most powers through genetic telekinesis. They assumed, given his mothers powers, that Drake would be a normal boy with no need to worry about things such as powers... They were greatly mistaken. Instead, what they got was a boy who's powers were absolutely out of control from a young age. He was completely unable to control his shifting, turning into the randomest animals at the most unpredictable times. So, Drakes mother used her powers in an attempt to permanently negate her sons abilities, and this did work... To an extent. Now Drake has to struggle in order to shift into something, sometimes to the point where it hurts, and his out of control powers did have a lasting effect on him. To this day his ears are permanently trapped in the form of a wolf, causing him to be highly sensitive to sound at times, as well as his hands always having the retractable claws of a cat. However he reuses to simply let his gift go to waste. Instead, ignoring his parents warnings, he set off to go use his strange power to help people, and to protect them... So far it hasn't been working that well for him however. He joined the MetaOps after another failed attempt to help someone, this time a woman being mugged. He had saved her of course, but at the very sight of the terrifying creature she had screamed and ran. This , a lot with several other incidents, caused the government to become involved and to attempt to detain him. However, they found the boy was extremely reasonable and willing to go without question. Soon enough, he was recruited to join the team with the promise hat he could use his powers to do the most good.

Personality: Drake is a fun , easy going, and caring guy. Despite his power being truly terrifying and the stuff of nightmares, all he wants to do is help his friends and protect them, even at the cost of his own physical harm.

I'm going to have to agree with Scarifar on this one. I'm sorry, but I feel that your character is bordering if not crossed the line of ridiculousness with the powers of seduction-thing. Not only that, but it just doesn't seem very mission practical, either.

@Puffhead Looks good. You can move it to the Character Tab whenever you like.

If you are on the first list than kudos to you. If you're on the second list that means one of two things: 1. You crated a character that needs to be edited to be fully accepted or 2. You have appeared to have shown an interest in joining. If you feel that you should or should not be on one of the lists than please say so. If you are on neither list than I apologize but you'll have wait until a spot opens up to join, because at this point we have more than enough people.

Daw -^- (I CALL BS) jk but what so bad about having a diplomatic character when needed? I mean you can always fight but then again there is going to a lot of action in this roleplay huh? If there is no need for such a peaceful character then I will switch but until then I shall wait.

It's best to think of all characters as being government agents who just so happen to have superpowers (with the exception of Scarifar's character), instead of thinking of them as superheroes who happen to work for the government. So diplomacy is basically thrown out the window since...

Oh okay then, now as for your judgement on a character being able to wield Earth, Water, Fire and Air at a Intermediate level... how would your reaction be? Nothing fancy like Fire Dragons, or flying tornadoes/whirlpools or anything extreme like that. However like simple blast of air, a fireball or maybe a pressurized water blasts. Seems pretty tame but your input would be nice, before I get creative on something.

(since your here and now, whats your opinion of manipulating the speed of an object? Would that be acceptable or too strong >.>)
