SPECTACULAR!


Welcome to Archer City, housed right in the lovely state of New York. Newly minted, and bigger than The Big Apple. What could go wrong, right? Anyway. Things have been pretty swell here-- when the super villains stay away, anyway. But we got a whole host of superheroes at our backs to keep 'em off. Heck, it's practically an american pastime to watch the Heroes do what's right. What could go wrong?


Hello, everyone! This is Spectacular! A more lighthearted sort of superhero RP.


City Districts



Notable Groups and People



Rules

1. The better your CS, the more powerful I’ll let your character be. That said, there’s no hard cap on character power, but try to keep it towards Spiderman level and you should be fine.

2. GM’s word is law.

3. No godmodding, powerplaying, using other people's characters, etc.

4. Shooting for a softer PG-13/PG here. For reference, think if it would be acceptable in the current running
Spiderman cartoon, or the Justice League Unlimited cartoon. That said, swearing is allowed, just try not to go overboard.

5. I expect posts to be at least a parapgraph.

6. If you’re reading, put the word ‘Spectacular’ at the bottom of your character sheet.

7. Obviously, no Mary/Gary sues.

8. Try to keep activity. Posting once a week should be fine. If you’re going to be absent for longer than that, I will assume responsibility for your character. Alternatively, you can tell me if you’d like another RPer to temporarily take the character’s reins.

9. No DC or Marvel characters. Please and thank you.

8.Put your character in the OOC tab. Once it’s approved, it may be moved to the Characters tab.

9.Yes, yes you can be a villain. I won’t be accepting too many, though.

  • Name: KKR-V2(Kodona Kikai Ningyo Version Two), translated as Advanced Machine Doll Version Two. Her given name is Kiko.
  • Alias: Machine Doll Kiko(her identity is not secret)
  • Nickname(s): 'Kii-chan' to friends back home.
  • Age: Physically and mentally, she is a robotic replica of a sixteen-year-old girl. However, she has existed in an operational, completed state for roughly eight months.
  • Gender: Female
  • Powers: As KKR-V2, the second in a line of extremely human-like robots, Kiko's body is composed of an incredibly lightweight durable alloy frame beneath a layer of life-like synthetic skin. Her body replicates a human girl's, to the point where even close observation would render no discrepancies. Well, aside from the exposed joints of her legs and arms. She is incredibly durable, capable of withstanding high heat and pressure. She can continue to function even after losing limbs, though systems in her torso are liable to damage.
    Kiko's AI is contained in a black box inside her head, capable of withstanding even extremely powerful explosives that would obliterate the rest of Kiko's body. Each limb is strong enough to crush concrete and bend solid steel from impact. Using a highly advanced technology, Kiko can summon a protective armor, which also grants her flight capabilities. Finally, Kiko has a module that taps into "emotional output". In essence, the more fired up she becomes, the more powerful she can potentially become, though this can be hazardous to her body.
  • Skills/Abilities: Kiko is programmed with a full understanding of Japanese and English, though she is less used to English. She is also incredibly capable at making all varieties of ramen.
  • Equipment: Kiko is capable of summoning a suit of advanced armor. This armor protects her body further, and grants her flight capabilities. It is equipped with an energy sword capable of inflicting lethal or nonlethal damage depending on the settings. She is also equipped with a beam cannon and a set of small missiles with the armor activated.
    Kiko can trigger different modes of her armor. For now, this is Gear Blue, a ranged form constructing a set of floating cannons that can join into a much larger one, and Gear Red, a melee form focusing all power into her sword and detaching most of her armor to add speed. She can also divert power to various areas of the armor in its base state. Her use of the armor is constantly monitored by the Kimura institute in Japan.
  • Appearance: "What is it?" Kiko is around 5'1.
  • Costume: "Machine Doll ready for action!", "Machine Doll, AAAAARRRMOR OOOOOON!"
  • Personality: Kiko is a cheerful, friendly girl. As an advanced AI, she has a full emotional range, and her most commonly expressed emotions are happiness and cheer. She loves meeting new people, trying new things, and in general experiencing just about anything pleasant. Kiko also enjoys food(thankfully her body can burn it as fuel) a great deal, and loves making ramen for her friends. All of them. Every time she makes a new friend, she makes them a bowl of ramen. No matter what. Kiko is strongly convinced that she should try talking to anyone, even enemies, to see if she can get them to surrender. Only someone truly evil would ever earn lethal treatment from her, and even then she would try and talk them into reconsidering and surrendering first.
    Kiko is also extremely devoted to justice, holding an incredibly strong desire to protect the innocent and stop those who would harm others for their own sake and do evil. However, Kiko is incredibly naive and unaware of the world around her, and is easily fooled by white lies. However, she can also be remarkably perceptive in a fight and figure out battle strategies and bluffs. She has a tendency to jump into things too quickly, at the same time.
  • History: Kiko is based on a sixteen-year-old girl of the same name, who died tragically in a car accident. Her father, part of the project, modeled the new KKR-V2 on his daughter as a result, and advocated for increasing her firepower. His motivation was, in fact, so that his new "daughter" would never face the same fate. Built as a mechanical hero created to defeat threats to the world, Kiko was completed eight months ago. Her first deployments were as a normal schoolgirl. Her very first deployment ended with her stopping a truck with her bare hands when it threatened to crash into another girl. Roughly two months ago, she confronted and defeated a small group of minor supervillains in Tokyo. She has recently arrived in the US for an exhibition, and to grant her more experience with the world.

Name: Tyler McCain

Alias: Mantis Boy

Nickname(s): N/A

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Powers:
Enhanced Strength, (spiderman level)
Enhanced Dexterity, (spiderman level)
Immunity: Life support, (suit helps keep him alive as best it can, slightly healing him if needed [takes a while to heal])
Immunity: bullets and bladed weapons(his bio suit is like Armor)
Fly: while he can't full blown fly, Mantis boy can jump extending his mantis wings and is able to gain quite a bit of air before slowly gliding down, wings softly buzzing the whole time. He can jump from building to building quite easily with his gliding wings. With a running start he can glide quite far especially if he leaps from a tall building.
Wall crawling: Mantis boy can cling to walls or any surface like a bug can (like spiderman)
Blades: While wolverine extends his claws from his knuckles, Mantis boy can grow a single two and a half to three foot mantis blade out from each one of his wrists (top of wrist/top forearm) so 2 blades in all, one for each arm. The blades are created by the bio suit and are the equivalent of adamantium.
Boomarang: The bio suit can instantly grow a small "mantarang" into his hand. Made from the same material as the suit and blades, it can be thrown like a throwing star or it can return like a Boomarang.
Camouflage Just like how the praying mantis comes in many varieties, for example. The one that blends in with green leaves, the one that blends in with brown dead leaves, the one that looks like a pink flower. Mantis boys bio suit can mimic backgrounds slightly hopefully giving him an edge.

Weakness: Mantis boy is vulnerable to most energy attacks his bio armor will protect him as best as possible but the suit it self will be damaged and he will be forced to retreat to let the suit heal or risk defeat.
Also his suit has almost no way of dealing with magic.
If a super strong person started smashing up on Mantis boy he could take it only so long before becoming unconscious.
Mantis boys only attacks are his blades, boomarang and punches/kicks

Skills/Abilities: Tyler knows his way around a computer and can preform all basic and some more advanced techniques. He is also quite Streetwise when it comes to criminals.

Equipment: N/A

Appearance: This is Tyler as normal, he is a weirdo and likes metal music.




This is Tyler in his bio armor both standing and flying.

Costume: The alien bio armor that was injected into Tyler is alive. It grows onto his body just like how venom from marvel grows his suit onto his body. Its black and green in coloration as shown in the picture. The bio armor is super protective. It is light and agile while still being completely immune to gun fire and blades. It will protect him from most minor damage (light to medium punches, kicks) It has full life support and Tyler is sealed inside when he has it on. It will heal itself and even heal Tyler to a degree. (It's a slow heal)

Personality: Tyler is slightly rebellious at heart but keeps it in check as best he can. He wants to do what he wants to do most the time and is hard to convince. He has always been a joker, always acting goofy and strange. Most people think he is kinda weird. Once angerd he can be known to blow up but its really hard to get him to that point. He likes to make stupid/funny remarks when he takes out bad guys.

[b]History:[b/] Tyler McCain was an avrage young man who enjoyed loud metal music, partying and hanging with his tattooed friends. He lives in the burbs with his mother and father and pet cat. With a pretty avrage life. He finished high school two years ago and has been at home partying with his friends ever since. His parents often tell him to get get a job and stop being so lazy but he can't seem to find the inspiration. That was until he was abducted by aliens. One night after heavy partying Tyler was walking home. He decided to take the woods shortcut and ventures off into the forest. As he walks he starts to hear strange sounds, he passes it off as a result of the partying and keeps going. He soon starts to see strange lights and before he can even pull the pocket knife from his jean pocket he is abducted. With a flash of bright light Tyler is beamed onto the alien ship, sedated and straped into the experimentation table. The aliens who are experimenting with diffrent earth species and trying to create more powerful alien super soldiers have a library of earth species DNA. Sevral dead humans lay on similar tables some with genetic mutations. The strange gray alien takes a vile marked with a picture of a mantis and slips it into some sort of injection gun.
Tyler is injected with an experimental mantis syrum made up of the best of all mantis on earth mixed with the advanced war technology of the alien civilization. The alien syrum is actually a symbiotic lab created creature that forms a bond with its host for life. Called a symbiote, the creatures soul purpose is to make its host a super soldier. The aliens need new bio armors for there soldiers back on there home planet where a war has been going on for many years.
The syrum incubates in Tylers system and after a few hours becomes his bio armor. (Think Venom but with a harder more armor like suit.) While most test subjects are not able to gain control over the symbiote, a few where able after a few days, but most die. Those who survived where killed by the aliens to cover there tracks. Tyler gains control over his new symbiote after only a few hours and is able to rip free his shackles and escape the alien ship. He falls off and is plummeting to his death when he suddenly gains complete control over his bio suit and uses his wings to glide to safety. He hid for a while laying low, trying not to be re captured by the aliens, but for the last month or two he has started to explore his powers more and actively seek criminals. Mantis boy dident know if it was a good idea to jump inbetween the 7th street gods and the old guy they where mugging but he steped in and was able to stop the thugs. Maybe being a hero isn't so bad.

Name: Caesar Paladin (Last name made up)

Alias: None

Nicknames: None

Age: 1016 years old (looks 26)

Gender: Male

Powers: Immense Size: In his dragon form, he is 25 feet long from head to tip of his tail

Super Strength: He can pick up and throw cars with ease and can effortlessly smash through concrete walls

Sharp Claws and Fangs: Can shred through solid steel

Shape-shifting: Can change between human and dragon form at will

Silver Scales: His dragon scales are resistant to bullets, automatic fire, and most conventional mundane weapons, as well as weak energy attacks, such as lasers.

Fog Vision: His telescopic vision is not impeded by fogs or clouds

Cloud-walking: He can walk on clouds as if they were solid ground

Graceful Flyer: Has great maneuverability and speed in the air

Appendages: Possesses a tail and a strong pair of wings for flight

Ice Breath: Can breath a cone of cold akin to liquid nitrogen (Can be turned non-lethal)

Super Endurance: Caesar has stronger than average endurance, capable of taking several strong blows before being knocked down

Environmental Adaption: Is immune to even the coldest temperatures or substances and does not suffer from altitude sickness

Weaknesses: Extreme Heat

No Protection from Magic

Skills/Abilities: Caesar is a master of war, combat, and military tactics, having served in decades worth of fighting. He knows how to use many weapons, from modern day firearms to medieval swords and shields.

Equipment: None

Appearance: i160.photobucket.com/albums/t172/Ten-T.. (Human Form standing 6'0) draconika.com/types/images/silver-drag.. (Dragon Form standing 25'0 from head to tail) When in human form, he is a handsome man with short white air with a silvery shine, sky blue eyes with very narrow snake-like pupils that betray his draconian origins. In Dragon form he is a giant with rippling muscles, scales so reflective they act as mirrors, a "beard" of spikes, and orbs of mercury for eyes.

Costume: None

Personality: Caesar is a follower of honor before reason to a fault. He is fiercly loyal to those he calls friend and he's a gentleman, contrary to the usual pride and arrogance found in dragons. Whenever he makes a promise, you can expect him to keep it. He is though very uptight and strict. He is very closed off with his thoughts and emotions despite his courtesies and tends to keep to himself.he is usally very hesistant to engage in silly activities, viewing them as childish and immature.

History: Caesar was born a silver dragon on the swiss Alps in 1000 A.D. He was strange for a dragon in which, instead of viewing humans as food, he viewed them as intriguing specimens with a culture worthy of studying. Something particularly fascinating he found was the notion of Chivalry, the knight's code and fighting for the weak and oppressed. Throughout the centuries he spent on the earth, he mastered the arts of warfare, so he could protect the downtrodden. In various human guises he roamed fighting for whichever side seemed right at the time, though hindsight has left him with many regrets and just a tad bit jaded. Nevertheless he pressed on and fought in many wars against tyranny, including helping the Allies fight against Germany during WWII. Shortly afterward, he tired of fighting and wanted to enjoy a life of peace. That's when he move to Archer city to retire, unfortunately it looks like villainy will not let him stay retired, and thus his heroics continue.

Goth and Tuffmeister lived on the island for 2 years before finally realizing that the island was less than half a mile from the mainland and swam back to civilization


If mainland China was really only a half mile away from the island then the guys should have been able to see it easily.

Name: Simon Strange

Alias: Candy King

Nickname(s): Sweet Stud, Gumbud

Age: 15

Gender: male

Powers:

Candy Magic: Simon has the ability to create and control all aspects of candy, he can even change their size and power depending on how much energy he puts into it as well as the candy's weight. He normally uses specific kinds of candy for specific situations, if he needs to restrain an enemy then he will create giant licorice or gummy worms to ensnare them or have them stuck by large amounts of gooey chewing gum. For offensive attacks he uses hard candy of varying size depending on how he wants to attack. He can fly by creating a giant floating bubble of gum which he can hang on to as he wills it to where he wants to go. He can also fly by merely manipulating his candy armor to fly him through the air.

Candy Mimicry: This ability allows Simon to alter his body to match those of candy, for example Simon will normally use this power to shift his body into a candy form such as a gummy worm for ensnaring purposes and he also regularly uses this power to make his arm and fist in a hulking chunk of rock candy perfect for power blows.

In terms of weaknesses vegetables are like his kryptonite, although it doesn't physically weaken him it will temporarily take away his powers if he is in close vicinity of for too long. Using his abilities requires energy and if he uses them for too long then he will begin to feel fatigue. The dramatically he has to alter the candy the more energy it uses it up like if he wants to enlarge the candy he summons then it will use up more magical power to do.

Skills/Abilities: He has a excellent knowledge of all candy and is experienced in combat thanks to some training in hand to hand combat specifically boxing. He's also fairly good at technical stuff like computers and has a good know how of chemistry

Equipment: None

Appearance: He is five feet and nine inches tall with bright red hair. He is average in terms of body build and at first glance he doesn't look very impressive, but he knows how defend himself. In terms of fashion he likes to dress in the usual shorts and t-shirts when it is not cold. Most of his shirts have either a candy and superhero design to them.

Costume: His costume is a green long-sleeved shirt and blue pants. He has hard candy plated armor on his upper torso and it is tough enough to withstand a good amount of punishment, but it won't protect him from high powered weapons. on the chest of his armor is the picture of a red lollipop with the letters 'CK' in the circle. Simon also wears a a red cape with the initials 'CK' on it in golden yellow. CK is the initials for Candy King.

Personality: Simon is funny and has a carefree personality. He is full of fun and tries to be nice to people he believes deserve it. Simon hates people who hurt the innocent and will take it to the bad guys hard if they begin killing people. He loves candy and was incredibly happy when he was granted his magical powers and he could create and manipulate candy. Simon is very tenacious and will never give up when a challenge comes before him. He does have a tendency to go a bit overboard with his jokes and it is hard for him to take things seriously unless things have gone totally to shit.

He also is a bit of a show off and likes to impress others with his powers. In terms of fears, Simon is scared of not being powerful enough to help stop a serious crisis and that he will be helpless to prevent a horrible tragedy.

History: Simon Strange was born in the Bronx borough of New York and from the day he could, he always loved candy. His parents tried to get him to eat proper food, but it was hard and he always had a secret stash of candy. Eventually he was in school and a lot of kids thought of his antics are being weird and he would sometimes get picked on. But he always tried to keep a positive personality.

He fell in love with the movie Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, and had dreams of being a candy man in his own right. Simmon also had a love for superheroes and always wanted to become one at some point, but he didn't have the power or resources to do such a thing. This would change when he stopped by a magic shop and unknowingly bought a item that contained the magical ability to create and control candy. With his new power he got the idea to become a superhero. He made his costume and named himself Candy King. His parents then had them move to Archer City in New York and there Simon began his hero career. He was ready to bring sweet justice to the criminal element of the city. He and his family live in the Waterfront District of Archer City.

Ever since he began hero work, Simon trained a bit in boxing to improve his fighting skills and has developed his computer and chemistry knowledge as he has gone through high school. He's one hero who won't let others overshadow him
