Gonna make an OOC later and begin critiquing some CS's. I'll go ahead and say anybody who's character had extensive training beforehand will need to be reworked. We're ALL gonna be rookies. Robin was beaten to death in front of us and only Deadshot and Multiplex were involved. One guy has no powers... just guns and ammo, and the other guy just becomes a bunch of guys [with heightened strength but still...]. And we COULDN'T stop them.
~KL~
I love how everyone seems to be ignoring this point when making their characters.

Haha yeah, I PMed him about it and had to make the training start a lot closer to the event. I hope my bio's alright now but I've not received a response yet.

CS's between here and the OOC would need to be tweaked to accommodate the story. If there's any problems with making edits, know beforehand I'm not dealing with divas or drama kings in this game. This team will be something like Batman's Outsiders meets the Titans, and we all need to begin as inexperienced rookies. I'll post the OOC tonight. As Pink mentioned I've already discussed some bits with him. Now Batman will contact us all after about a week. So we all have time to reflect, reevaluate ourselves as heroes, etc...

I hope my character is alright in the inexperience department.
K, finishing up the OOC now. Gotta run and pick my kid up from school then I'll be back in a bit and get it posted. Think I'm gonna stick with my Bolt character as well, figured out how to introduce him and make it work...
I would hope it's not too late to cram in a work in progress submission.
Secret ID: Mark Reeves Alias: Dynamo Age: 17 Home Location: Gotham City Powers: Kinetic Energy Absorption, Control, and Redirection: Kinetic energy is one of the most fundamental aspects of our universe- To control, absorb, and redirect it without limit is what it means to become a god. Suns could be extinguished with a thought, any sort of attack could be absorbed, and the entire universe could go into imbalance due to the violation of the conservation of energy- It is not meant to be stored like that. It could mean the end of the universe as we know it.
At least, that's what Mark has been told. He, sadly, does not have the ability to become a God-being of universe-shattering proportions and he is not "am become death". He is simply a kid from Gotham with a pretty neat power. Barring the extremely unlikely event that an extremely powerful telepath(by extremely powerful, I mean, Martian Manhunter wouldn't even be a nth of the aforementioned telepaths power) with a death wish came along and removed the blocks preventing Mark from accessing his power.(Not to say such a thing would happen over the course of this RP, but I do enjoy mentioned the sheer awesome destructive power of totally kickass kinetic energy. Plus, the original version of this character used in another RP was god level. So, yeah. I also write this to denote how ludicrously out of control such a power can get- I am aware, and will keep it in check. i do intend to make him grow in power through the RP, but, again, not to utter ridiculousness. I also understand tht the limits I'm imposing on this power for myself may be difficult to understand, and if necessary, I can certainly explain them in further detail.)
Mark only has a very rudimentary grasp on his power, and all but a fraction of his potential is locked behind enough mental blocks to make Fort Knox look like a bouncy house, and to make even Martian Manhunter wet himself. But, in terms of actual applications, Marks power has a few useful applications that make him quite the vector to deal with.
Energy Absorption- The bread and butter of his power, Mark constantly leeches kinetic energy to give himself fuel to use his ability. This expands to things such as electricity and fire. But, a caveat to this is that he can't absorb too little or too much. The mechanism by which he absorbs the energy is a very delicate thing- Too little, such as the force generated from just sort of walking around, and his body's systems just aren't efficient enough to process it. Too much, and his system would be overloaded, and he'd take whatever force is connection with him like a normal human. Additionally, his body can only store so much energy at any given time. An example of too much energy would be a bullet hitting him, or a punch from a superstrong adversary. He could soften such blows to non-lethal levels, but it'd still hurt like a bitch. Also, the degree to which he can soften such blows sometimes isn't sufficient. Bullets of sufficient caliber, a la anti-material sniper rifle would probably blow his head open just like anybody else.
Blasts- He can redirect this energy into blasts, fired from his hands. These blasts can only use a portion of his 'power battery' at a given time, so he couldn't let it all go in an all or nothing shot. The maximum force he's exhibited is enough to send a normal person flying about three meters.
Super Strength- Through application of his energy up through his arms, legs, muscles, and skeletal structure, he can lift weights and deliver blows impossible for a normal human. This function constantly drains his energy, however, and is one of the larger drains of his power.
Superspeed- Using his energy, he can propel himself forward at speeds unattainable for normals. Of course, this speed is leagues below any user of the speedforce's ability, such as Kid Flash, but it is notable, he can probably clock in at about eight MPH. This is a very inefficient use of power, however, and it drains him reasonably quickly.
Durability- Since everything has an equal and opposite reaction, he can enhance his own ability by applying kinetic force outward, dampening blows dealt to him. This power is also a large waste of energy, and blows of sufficient power(i.e. bullets) would damage him.
Hetero Energetic Manipulation- Hetero, meaning other, he can sometimes adjust the energy of other things, within a range of ten feet in all directions. For example, without firing a blast, he could give a thrown basketball a little extra 'oomph', or guide is through the air with very tiny bursts of energy. Theoretically he could also use this power to enhance the blows of his allies by lending tier hits extra kinetic force. He can also use this to protect his allies by taking away tiny bits of force from his enemies attacks. He could also theoretically use this to allow him to stick to walls by using a small bit of energy to make the wall 'pull' on him.
Flight- A horrifically inefficient use of power, he can attain flight or levitation. Even on full battery, however, this would last at most thirty seconds, not topping speeds of twenty miles per hour.
Healing- His healing is the least developed of his abilities, and requires a ludicrous amount of energy. At full battery strength, at most, he could probably fix a broken arm due to the terribly inefficient usage of energy from this power application.
Weaknesses: Mark is extremely averse to telepaths, because after a rather unfortunate encounter in his youth with one. Additionally, he has absolutely no mental defenses to keep them from picking around in his brain, aside from 99.99999999999999% of telepaths being totally incapable of accessing the higher functions of his power. Equipment: -Utility Belt, complete with grapple cable, bolas, smoke pellets, two pairs of handcuffs, and twinkies(high in calories= high in energy). -Two Pistols with rubber bullets. The Bat does not appreciate his use of such weapons(but he can't say he hasn'tdoneit before..), but allows them nonetheless. He gets a very tiny amount of energy each time he fires from the recoil of the weapons. -Two eskrima sticks which he is totally unskilled with. -A small palmtop computer. It's not very powerful and he can't hack or anything like that, but he can google stuff and it gets signal from the bat computer. Sometimes Mark watches cat videos on it. Appearance:
When not all costumed up, Mark has short, neatly trimmed hair and a friendly smile on his face. He has brown eyes, brown hair, and slightly crooked teeth. In terms of build he is very average, if lightly muscled from the very beginning of his training. he stands at 5' 11" and weighs 175 Lbs. He likes wearing clothes that aren't terribly restrictive, but look nice. This means polos and the occasionally dress shirt that is very slightly too large for him, and jeans.
He has a very simple costume, a black longcoat with black shirt, black pants, and a stark white mask, as well as a black wig. The fabric is made from leather and kevlar, and it has a few stab plates embedded in, allowing it to take a punch. It has several pockets and pouches along it as well. The interior of the coat is green.
Personality: [b]Password:[b] Titan BRIEF Bio: [this shouldn't be a problem as none of us are really trained or have more than a few weeks experience] Notes: I understand if you think this is a completely, out of the ballpark, frighteningly OP ability, and I am completely open to changing the character if need be. Sample Post: [give us an idea of what you bring to the table, no less than 1 or 2 paragraphs with dialog!]
^^^ The power list alone is longer than most of the CS's. We were all helpless to save Robin against Deadshot and Multiplex. Take that and the fact we're all rookies into account and a lot of sheets will need to be reworked.
I re-posted Foo Dog's sheet in the ooc. I took out the bits about him being trained since childhood and lengthened my sample post. I figure Bolin will start off in the RP right as he gets released from the hospital.
