Wow, not every day you see someone kill off their own character :o. If you want I can have Abaddon do something like put her in a "between life and death" stasis in Sheol so there's a reasonable way for you to get her back in case you change your mind.
Nope! She dead, honestly I didn't like her character anyways to tell the truth, and it adds a bit more depth to the story now with someone dead
Once I get caught up with the rest of the thread, I think I'd be interested in joining, if you're still accepting players. I know the thread title says you are, but I've attempting join other RPs that say that only to find out that they're full. So just checking.
We're even kinda slowing down at this juncture, due to a number of people not being able to post. So hopefully the introduction of a new character could once more jump-start the plot.

Feel free to post your character and invite other folks to do so. Chances are we might open up a small period of recruitment; we have characters going down IC in the current battle and after that there are almost certainly going to be plenty of opportunities for characters to come out of the woodwork.
Is there a particular type of character that would better suit the RP right now? I had a neutral/mercenary character in mind but I don't mind retooling him if a hero or villain would be needed more at the moment.
Any works; folks may end up by necessity at least unwillingly help heros at some point as there is a lurking plot that doesn't really care if you're the worst villain on the planet... you're in the way. :P Of course, not right now.
I'm thinking you could go with any type at this point and just be around to start beating the hell out of those fishmen.

Appearance: A middle-aged man with serious eyes and a chiseled face, though his age lines suggest that time is beginning to catch up with him. He is physically large and reasonably muscular, and keeps his dark hair cut very short. He generally wears suits and suit coats with a matching derby hat for civilian attire. While incognito, he sports a pinstripe black suit and suit pants, and a very thin but resilient set of flexible armor underneath his clothes. A long black coat housing his weapons rests above his suit. He wears glove-like gauntlets that are reinforced with steel. A charcoal-colored mask covers all but his eyes, though the bottom half of the mask can be removed to expose his mouth and nostrils if need be.
He more closely resembles Van Alden from Boardwalk Empire than anyone else I can think of.

Name: Odest Emporio Alias: The Rambler Gender: Male Age: 44 Alignment: Mercenary Race: Human Powers/weapons: Odest carries a long halberd with a smooth convex blade on the outside of his coat. The inside of the coat houses a pistol and a reinforced knife, along with additional clips of ammo. He also keeps a high-powered sniper rifle inside of his car.
Ability: Odest is able to strengthen any of his five senses by temporarily 'turning off' one of his other senses. For every sense he sacrifices, his remaining senses get progressively stronger, reaching superhuman levels. Increasing his sight can allow him to enhance his vision several times over, and can allow him to see through objects and spot trails invisible to the naked eye at higher levels. Powering up his sense of touch gives allows him to more accurately control his muscular structure and increase his strength and speed. And so forth. As a downside, sacrificing a particular sense at the wrong time can potentially open him up to taking an attack that he may have otherwise been able to avoid, so he must use his ability thoughtfully. Outside of this power, Odest is particularly strong and athletic for a human being, a result of surviving through mercenary work and fighting meta-humans for many years.
History: As a boy Odest lived in poverty, and his life was further complicated by the presence of his unusual power, which was present since birth. Most people considered him a freak, and his ability allowed him the super-hearing and super-sight that let him discover how his so-called friends really felt about him. Eventually he eavesdropped on his parents lamenting his nature and being unsure of what to do with him. Odest abruptly ran away from home and never looked back.
Needing money to survive on the streets, Odest figured out how to hone and improve his ability, which allowed him to excel in jobs concerning espionage and assassination. Taking on the alias of The Rambler, Odest soon made a good living for himself taking odd jobs that few other mercenaries were equipped to handle. He eventually became unsatisfied with apprehending and killing normal people, and began to relish the opportunity to fight beings with 'powers' such as his.
Odest find a great sense of fulfillment through his jobs, and when not on the clock he gluts himself on fine food, good wine and other such luxuries. His checkered past has left him stoic and self-centered, though he is not completely beyond camaraderie.
My favorite type of cake is peanut butter cake. Let me know if this works, or if I need to change anything.
Looks alright to me, although a few points I question a bit.
Firstly, what is the practical use of a halberd when he has a pistol in his coat? Sounds extremely inefficiant; an axe would chop through things much easier if that's the use and if he's trying to kill folks then he would be as effective the guy from Indiana Jones swinging his swords before Jones shoots him with a pistol.
Now, if it's an enchanted halbred of sorts, which would mean it would be nice if you explained how it would have been enchanted and by whom, that would make more sense. But a typical halberd when combined with modern weapons makes him look rather silly when I visualize a mercenary.
Secondly is a detail, just food for thought. With such a passive ability, it would seem that nobody would actually notice his power, even at a young age when he's still exploring it. I would liketo know how folks can consider him a freak when he turns off his hearing and savors the taste of something; it might be a little odd that you're trying to talk to him and he completely ignores you, but I have a little difficulty understanding how that would be a dead giveaway for supernatural powers.
Other than the bits which I probably thought a little too much about, I'm fine with it and it's up to Cuccoruler.
I assumed he should have some sort of melee weapon in case he has to fight something that bullets are ineffective against. But I suppose it does seem silly, thinking it over. I'll just remove it, his dagger would get the job done anyway. I figure he may have picked up a enchanted dagger from one of his victims at some point. It could give him some measure of protection from magical attacks and be really difficult to break.
And I didn't really explain it, but his powers were sometimes beyond his control at a young age, so every so often he would be temporarily stricken with blindness or deafness, or be unable to feel the ground beneath his feet. And he probably just blabbed about his ability to people when he was young and dumb. As he got older he learned how to turn his power on and off at will.

Second reason I find a lot more plausible than the first. That's the one that I think could play into the first, because if the only reason was the first one, then it would either look more like he was crazy or mentally unstable rather than a freak ability wise. But yes, second reason combined with the first that does make more sense to me.
I suppose it's something he could have proved to people, also. Like being able to hear something he shouldn't possibly be able to, or being able to spot something happening miles away. I didn't really think about that initially.
