Economies France has the second largest economy in the world and it's an international leader in the arts, education, and science. The country is very capitalist and populated with the wealthy getting more money. France is willing to deal with any country with a good deal, they use trading to their advantage in most simulations. They even got a free trade agreement with Britain and it's still active to this day.
With the return of the franc, France's financial sector steeply rose up as the abolition of the United States dollar and Euro went into full effect. It wasn't that much of an increase unlike Britain's switch to the pound currency. But, it was enough to increase the economy and improve France from the greater good. Foreign businesses and workers from countries, that were affected by the war, started to arrive at France's doorstep. The amount never seen since the Immigration to the United States. France welcomed them with open arms as the war got worse than ever through.
The gap between poor and rich isn't that bad as Britain's gap; but, it's still there. Education has helped in closing the gap between the poor and the rich. But, the rich are still getting more than the poor. The government is trying to fix the gap by giving workers more paid hours and other stuff that has helped in closing the gap.
The economic policy, Mercantilism, returned to ensure that the colonies couldn't revolt against the French Government. But, they still care for the colonies like they do on the mainland. Education has increased, poverty is almost gone for those colonies, hunger has decreased as France helped out those colonies, and tourism increased big time. In return of the kind things that the government does, the colonies usually trade their important materials to the government.
The arts has helped France become the most visited countries in Europe as museums opened up in the mainland and zoos opened up in North Africa. Some even said that a second Renaissance is happening in France as the arts are becoming more popular and scientists are finding ways to improve human lives and the ways that humans do things. France is already a superpower nation, but they might become something important in history.
History of France The Third World War brought total destruction to America and other countries in the world. France was able to be neutral in the war at the cost of leaving the EU behind and moving forward. At first, the people didn't accept that and protested about until they saw photos of the war and changed their minds. The first few years brought people from all over the world to neutral countries, most went to Britain and France. The government helped improve the country as more and more people were entering the country to escape the horrors of war.
As America and other countries were starting to collapse, France has begun to worry about the effect that the collapse would cost. So, they started to look at North Africa and the countries in it. Algeria was having problems with the government as the country was tearing apart and France soon invaded the country to bring back order. As France was doing that, other countries in North Africa—Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania and Senegal—were dealing with civil unrest for the war.
The other countries were too busy to stop France for expanding into Algeria and other countries soon. Fifteen years of fighting later, the countries were quickly turned into colonies of France and begun to rebuild. Madagascar, The Scattered Islands, and Seychelles requested to join France as colonies because of economic hardship and the impact of the war. France accepted the offers and they were added as colonies of France.
Indochina was different than the other countries that France had taken due to many reasons. One was that they were allies with most of the Asian countries. But, the country was dealing with another crisis as the countries were fighting each other. Vietnam wanted to be annexed both Laos and Cambodia and then join PRFA. But, they didn't want that and another war in Vietnam started. France saw this as a perfect time to declare war on them and annex them.
So, they did and the navy soon landed near the capital of Vietnam. It took them three years for them to completely capture Indochina. As they did that, the countries signed the peace treaties and they were annexed soon after the signings. PRFA didn't want France to be in Asia and begun to move troops to the border of Indochina. France soon sent more troops to Indochina to outmatch the PRFA's forces and then the navy and air force came as well. After that move, PRFA requested that France have peace talks with them and France accepted the request.
After days of talking, PRFA accepted France's claims on Indochina in return that they stop expanding in the world. Since that day, France kept their word with PRFA and tried to improve relations by offering trade agreements with them. France also improved relations with Britain as they accepted trade agreements and opened up more to them.
France was finally a nation to be recognized like by in the 1800s and it was going to be like that for awhile.

Catwoman - DC Universe: Gods Among Us - GreenGrenade
Name Selina Kyle
Alias Catwoman
Origin Selina Kyle's childhood was defined by tragedy as her brutalized mother, Maria committed suicide and her violent father, Brian drank himself to death soon after the loss. After her parent's death, she was separated from her younger sister, Maggie Kyle. She went to live a couple foster homes, while Selina remanded to the Sprang Hall Juvenile Detention Center, an abusive state home for orphaned or delinquent girls. She remained there until the age of ten, when she escaped the center by climbing out of a broken window.
After leaving the center, she went a carnival outside of Gotham and tried to pickpocket the crowds there; however, she was caught by the owner. He offered her to join the carnival or go to a juvenile detention center. She agreed as soon she heard the word 'juvenile' and soon learned the art of contortionism, gymnastics, magic and trickery. Using her new learned skills, Selina also improved her pickpocketing skills by stealing for the crowds once more.
When the owner dies in a tragic accident, Selina was offered to become the new owner of the carnival; but, she turned it down and goes back to the streets of Gotham. And at the age of seventeen, she became a prostitute and was working for Stan, one of the many pimps in Gotham. During her first year as a prostitute, she saw a girl being sexually abused by a cop and decides to end the abuse by punching the cop. They ran away from the scene together and they went to Selina's apartment. That was when she learns that the girl's name was Holly Robinson and that she was only thirteen years old. That was when that Selina decided to take care of her and convinced Stan to let Holly stay.
While laying in a bed at the hospital (after being attacked), Selina is visited by a man named George Flannery, claiming to be from Gotham Vice. He demands to know who beat her up, but she won't answer any of his questions. He tells her to call him if she does decide to press charges against the man who beat and raped her. He offers her a card, but it's not his card. He explains that she should use the number on the card to talk to a man who can help her take care of herself - it may save her life one day. She refuses to take it at first, but changes her mind so he could leave her be.
After being discharged from the hospital, Selina returns to her apartment, asking Holly whether Stan is around the apartments. Holly tells her that it was Stan who beat her and she warns that if she goes back to her room, he will be waiting for her. Even so, Selina avoids her warning and goes up to her room. Stan is complaisant, apologizing for mistreating her. She ignores him and asks where her cats are as she looked around for them. He told her that he moved them to an empty apartment, because they make him uncomfortable. Despite that discomfort, he presents Selina with a cat-themed dominatrix bodysuit. She is disgusted by the bodysuit, but eventually Stan talks her into doing one last job for him in the catsuit, promising it will be the last time. Even known he was lying to her.
After Stan talks to her, she calls the number on the card and winds up, doing self-defence training with former boxing champ Ted Grant. Selina asks how many other girls Flannery has sent Ted, and he responds that he doesn't know any cops named Flannery. He says that for $100/hour, he'll teach her everything he knows. Naturally, she can't afford it, and he suggests that she may qualify for a discount, if she's serious. She sets up an appointment with Ted, and she asks him to teach her how to use a bullwhip in a fight. Ted wonders who it is that Selina is really lashing out at, because he doesn't think it's her pimp. Even so, he trains her in the use of the whip. During the training, she begins to break down and give up. Ted keeps pushing her and pushing her, making her angry until she lashes out and really hurts him. This is what he wanted; to get Selina to put her emotion into her fighting. The training lasts for a couple more months until Ted thought that she knew how to fight against the street thugs of Gotham.
During the usual nighttime, Holly and Selina were awaken with gunshots at Robinson Park. Turning on the TV, they see a news report indicating that the Batman has surrounded some thugs that were a part of the mafia. Holly is filled with excitement at the thought of glimpsing the Batman, and Selina agrees to accompany her friend to the police line, to see events unfold. The Batman fought off the thugs with his abilities as screaming and gunfire took place. Then, he disappeared into the nighttime sky with the thugs all tied up. Holly was excited that she saw the Batman and Selina realizes that he is a formidable man, and that he uses the idea of bats to his advantage.
After seeing Batman in action, Selina grabbed the bodysuit that Stan gave to her and finally decided to make her move. That was when Catwoman was born. She called him and lied that one of her clients became violent and ended up being stabbed with his own knife. Stan tells her to stay calm and meet him at a certain location. As he waits for her, Selina creeps over the rooftops in her new costume and pounces on him. When he realizes that it was Selina and what her intentions are, he tries to be threatening, but she scratches his face and throws him to the ground. She removes her mask, pressing her stiletto heel against Stan's throat and warns him not to kick the cat.
After the event, she began her luck at stealing things as she did when she was in her teenage years. Cat-burglary. While she was stealing away from Gotham, Stan decides the time has come to put a bullet in Selina Kyle's head and the only way to get her attention was to kidnap someone close to her: Holly. While Selina was gone during the night, Stan called Holly to make him a job and gave the location of it and she accepted the job. She got there and she was kidnapped by Stan as he knocked her out and took him to an unknown location.
Selina began to look all over Gotham from Holly after she disappeared. She knew that Stan had something to do with it, but she didn't know where he was or have proof that he did it. Then, she breaks into a fancy apartment and finds a former prostitute bathing in a large tub. Not any prostitute, but Stan's prostitute was at the apartment. Selina turned the lights off and then appeared in the dark brandishing her sharpened claws. The girl quickly breaks, and Selina demands to know where Stan is. The girl fearfully responds that Stan may be in a supply depot for the F-Train, or he may be at Bruzinsky's Theatre, an old strip joint. Stealing the girl's jewels, Catwoman warns the girl to tell no one she was there, and then blows out the candle, leaving the girl in total darkness.
Bruzinsky's Theatre was the first stop and it was the right stop as Stan was there with Holly. Stan grows agitated with Holly and drags her out into the rafters and scaffolding above the stage at the theatre. He is surprised to find Catwoman is waiting above him, promising to kill him. Stan throws Holly to the ground as Catwoman drops on him. Selina is so consumed by her desire to destroy Stan that she fails to notice Holly holding on to the edge of the walkway for dear life.
Stan pulls a knife, but Selina manages to yank it from his grip with her whip and scratch his face. While he falls to the ground in pain, Selina reaches for Holly's hand, but Stan gets up and pushes her aside, stepping on Holly's fingers and causing her to let go. Selina desperately tries to catch her close friend, and in her hurry she knocks Stan over the side as well, and both Stan and Holly exceed her grasp.
Selina looks down to see Stan below, and from behind her, she hears Batman tell her that he's dead. She assumes that Holly died as well, but fortunately, Batman had caught her. Selina readily admits that she let Stan fall to his death and leaves in disgust at the thought that Batman would have saved scum like Stan, even after what he did.
While overlooking the skylights of Gotham, Selina was thinking of the responsibilities of Catwoman; of herself. She feels that the suit makes her stop caring about consequences; like Selina Kyle is dead. She returned to the street grounds and goes to Stan's apartment as it might have clues to who else had helped in the kidnapping of Holly. It was Jefferson Skeevers, Stan's friend and a friend of some mob boss.
[NEED APPROVE FOR GM AND BATMAN CHARACTER TO BE OFFICIAL] When Catwoman goes to confront Jefferson, Batman appears out of the darkness to stop Catwoman. He knows that Jefferson was also behind the kidnapping of Holly and tells her that he deserves a jury of his peers. Catwoman doubts this, but Batman offer that Lt. Gordon will help and listen with an unbiased ear. But, she still doubts him as it's 'corrupted with men of money'.
Then, Batman attempts to convince Catwoman to give up her costumed thievery, but the thrill is too great for her to give it up, and she feels a strong attraction for him. Batman responds that they will be at odds, because they are on opposite sides of the law. Frustratingly, she steals a kiss from him, and then claws his face. She claims the first round for herself, and then runs off. That was when that Catwoman fell in love with the mysterious vigilante of the night and it wouldn't be the last that they meet face to face.
After the events with Batman, Catwoman and Holly soon moved out of the apartment and moved into a wealthy apartment with the money that she got from stealing. Selina got a new catsuit that had more protection against bullets and fists with the same money. Years after the event, she was able to let Holly live a safe life in Gotham without the fear of losing her. At the same time, she met Gwen Altamont and they became friends after one of their friends dies. Gwen wanted to help Gotham's prostitute start a new life away from the sex and the drugs; but, she didn't want to be able to put on a mask to do so.
So, she looked into buying a nightclub within Gotham called, "The Tin Roof Club". Selina wanted to help her and use the nightclub at the same time. She stole enough money until she was able to buy it and gave her the money as Catwoman. When Gwen got the money, she knew that Selina was behind the mask based on the perfect amount of money needed to buy the club. Catwoman told Gwen that she was going to allow the nightclub to be used as her hideout if she gave her the money.
She accepts the offer and welcomes Catwoman to the nightclub. Now, she had a new hideout to use as Catwoman and an apartment from Selina. But, she wasn't done stealing away for the wealthy. She never was the one to retire from a job until she was forced to or died.
And besides, her job was about to get interesting.
Attributes Abilities Acrobatics - Selina is a gifted and accomplished athlete, with heightened acrobatic prowess. Her feats have been so amazing, one could argue that her athletic ability is somewhat superhuman.
Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced) - She was trained by the Armless Master in martial arts and by Wildcat in boxing and street-fighting. She is a dangerous, clever and resourceful fighter, known for precise, agile attacks and speedy getaways. Her formidable hand-to-hand combat skills are augmented by her cat-like speed, reflexes, balance, and flexibility.
Stealth - Selina is as stealthy as any large cat. She has easily been able to sneak up on large groups of people and even other vigilantes on patrol. She shows marked prowess in this ability while she's on the prowl for her next job.
Thievery - Selina is a master thief, known throughout Gotham City for her burglary of cat-themed objects and/or gems and jewels of the highest quality. Hardly one to knock over a bank, Catwoman would rather break into the chairman's office and take his personal documents.
Disguise - To pull off her many capers, Catwoman resorts to disguises and aliases. She once posed as an old lady in order to steal a valuable piece of jewelry while on a cruise ship. Later, she posed as a night club goer in order to get acquainted with it's owners and return later to rob them.
Feline Empathy - Catwoman has a good affinity for cats. Feline species tend to flock to her, accepting her almost immediately, recognizing somehow that she is not an enemy but a friend. This allows her to calm injured cats, train them, befriend them, and form strong bonds with them. These animals will even sometimes come to her defense when she is attacked. This has proved most beneficial, especially when it has involved big cats.
Equipment Catwoman Costume - The skintight costume features retractable razor-sharp claws in her gloves and spring-action climbing pitons in her boots. Catwoman's costume is designed to give her maximum flexibility and movement while providing her some anonymity, and stealth. Her mask covers her features, keeping her from instant recognition in her civilian identity. The material is a thick insulating cloth, protecting her from cold and wet, while being fire retardant.
Claws - Catwoman's gloves and boots contain special retractable claws which are formed of a strong steel which extend from and retract into her gloved fingertips and boots when she triggers pressure switches. They can shred a bullet-proof vest, punch through an aluminum frame car door, or dig into porous surfaces to climb.
Whip - Catwoman is highly proficient in the use of the bullwhip. She employs a 12 foot long, black leather braided bullwhip which is normally carried on her person either in her boot or in a small backpack.
Transportation Motorcycle - Catwoman occasionally uses a motorcycle for long-distance transportation, but generally prefers rooftop prowling for short distances.
Stomping Grounds Gotham City East End - A hotbed of prostitutes and pimps, Selina was born in this area to her mother and father. This part of Gotham was her home, where she met many friends and enemies. She protects the area with her life.
The Tin Roof Club - An nightclub owned by her friend, Gwen Altamont. It's used as a hideout for Catwoman and other prostitutes who wish to escape that life like she did. It's also located in the edge of East End.
People of Note Allies Batman - Ally, enemy, and lover of Catwoman.
Wildcat - Mentor to Selina, helped her trained to becoming the Catwoman.
Holly Robinson - Close friend of Selina, knows that she's Catwoman and worries about her.
Karon - Holly's girlfriend, another close friend of Selina. Doesn't know that she's Catwoman.
Gwen Altamont - Friend of both Selina and Catwoman. Allows her to use the nightclub as a hideout.
Rogues Poison Ivy - Occasional friend and foe of Catwoman. They haven't talked since they ended their group, "Gotham City Sierns".
Black Mask - Mafia boss. He wants Catwoman dead, because she gave him a scar on his mask.
The Penguin - Stole for him when she started to steal for the fist time. Enemies since that day.
Bone - Killed Catwoman's friend, because she stole for him.
Character Goals I want to make her think about what side she's on. Question her actions and protect those that she loves and cares from. And I also want to expand and explore the relationship with Batman to the point, where she's either accepted into his family or end the relationship between them.
Getting Answers
It has been a couple days since her close friend, Holly, disappeared from the streets. Stan, their pimp, also disappeared around the time that she went missing. The police don't care about prostitutes unless they want sex with them to 'release stress'. Selina grew tired of waiting for the police to do their job and put on her catsuit again. She just got word that one of Stan's prostitutes was somewhere in Gotham and she didn't have a clue where she was. Selina got finished putting on the suit as he grabbed her mask and grinned as she began to say to herself, "It's time from me to get answers.". She put on the mask and opened the window as she exited out of her apartment.
A hour of running and jumping around Gotham bought her to the Diamond District, where some of Gotham's wealthy live and it's home to the popular jewelry stores. Catwoman looked around for the apartment, where the girl was at; however, she soon stopped to see an opened window. She tried not to focus on it, but it was too late as she ran towards it. With her claws, she attracted onto the brick wall and started to climb upward as she tried to not let go. The claws' feature was a bit odd for her to use, but she started to get used to them. As she got to the window, she pulls one hand away from the wall to grab the ledge of the window.
Pulling herself up into the apartment, she found gold as there was something that could sell very well in pawn shops. Jewelry, cash, rings, and the many other wonders that the wealthy leave out of their safes. Catwoman was a well-known cat burglar after all. Plus, she needs them to survive out on the streets of Gotham—especially East End. Thankfully, her little backpack was with her as she removed it from her back and begun her spree of stealing. One necklace in the bag, one golden ring in the bag, two hundred dollars in the bag.
She still was pulling things in her bag until she heard splashing in the bathroom nearby. Catwoman immediately stopped what she was doing, Of course I forgot to check. She silently walked towards the hallway and near the bathroom door as she heard someone humming. Taking a peak at what's going on, she found a woman in the bathroom in the bath as she was washing herself to some quiet music. Then she realized that she knew the girl, Grace Davis. Stan's favorite prostitute and she usually hangs out with him. There's the bitch. How about I make my introduction.
She walked away from the hallway and saw the light switch as she turned it off. It got dark all of the sudden as the woman in the bath questioned the blackout. "Hello, who is there?" she said with a tone of panic. Selina walked towards the doorway of the bathroom and lean on the doorway. "Thomas, is that you?" Grace questioned the mysterious figure in the doorway. Selina grinned at the sight of Grace's fear as she was enjoying this moment. The claws popped out and she begun to brandish her sharpened claws. Grace jumped at the sight of the claws and shouted loudly towards the figure as it got closer, "GET AWAY FOR ME. PLEASE DON'T HARM ME.".
The figure got close to her and the candle near the sink, which reveal the figure to be Catwoman. Catwoman kneed and her claws got closer to her hair as she said to the girl with a soft tone, "I wouldn't harm you unless you don't give me answers.".
Confused at Catwoman's request, Grace said to her, "What answers?". Her hands felt the soft, cool face as she smiled and said, "I know you work for Stan and that you guys are close to say.". Grace backed away as she felt the leather of the glove and Catwoman pulled her hand away and said, "Alright, it's simple. Do you know where Stan currently lives?". Grace looked at Catwoman and said, "Stan? I don't know where he is.". Her eyes were all over the place, trying to hide her lying ass. But, Catwoman grew tired of games like she always did and got her claws out. With one figure, she cut a piece of Grace's blond hair and caught it in the hair. Grace screamed at the sight of her claws and painfully said 'ouch' as her hair was cut.
"Tell me or I cut the rest of your beautiful hair." Catwoman said with a demanding tone as she waved the cut hair around and then let it drop the rug. On the edge of tears, Grace shouted to Catwoman as she was losing her voice, "Alright! Alright! Just don't cut it all.". She breathed and sighed as she said, "Early today, I called him and he told me that he was hiding at either at a supply depot in the train yard or at Bruzinsky's Theatre. I swear.".
"Thank you." Catwoman said as she eyed the necklace on the girl and decided to take it off of her with her claw. Grace closed her eyes at the sight of her claws and realized that her necklace was gone. Putting her hands around her neck, Grace yelled for the necklace back. Catwoman just looked at her and said, "Listen, I don't want you to tell anyone that I was here or else.". The candle was out as she finished her sentence and disappeared into the night.
Grace immediately started to cry and humming the same tone as earlier.

"No amount of power or money will keep you protected for the full force of the law!"
History/Bio
Growing up in Detroit was hard for anyone living in the city. The city was on a decline as people were leaving the city for better jobs and a safer city. Ollie's family was full of police officers as his mother, father, and brother were all officers. They wanted to save the city that has provided them a home since the forties. Ollie knew that he was going to grow up as a cop along with his father and brother and he was taught on how to defend his self.
Firing a gun was first on the list of things to be taught. His father would go on and on about how having a gun is a "life saver". He was taught on how to fire once and even his mother was taught by him as a gift on their fourth date. Then, when the time was right he would be shown some photos for crime scenes that would make someone throw up. That was to get him a reason why officers exist and why they're important.
When he was finishing up high school, his parents decided on adopting an teenage boy from the same city after he was removed from his foster home.
The countries used to be colonies from Earth as several countries (United Kingdoms, France, Japan, America, etc.) joined together to colonized Xeiliv for it's resources and land value. The countries decided to let the world go after protests spawned all over Xeiliv after abuses of the work force was caught on tape. It has been years since the countries of Earth let go of Xeiliv and it's people; but, it has grow into a 'second Earth' for those who want to start a new life elsewhere.
The heart of the Federation is located at the planet, Xeiliv. Xeiliv is bigger than Earth and it has two moons, that are about the size of Earth's moon. Inside the planet, there are countries big or small throughout the world and the Claji Federation is the most powerful in Xeiliv. Claji is the most powerful country in the world as it also has a colony on the moon. It's the size of United Kingdoms' landmass.
The government of Claji is a federation like the United States of America. Claji has thirty-six states and it's run by a governor in each of those states. The country is run by a president and a vice president along with their trustful advisers. Clajins choose their president and vice president by voting and voicing their option on the person running for office. The president and vice president is backed up important people, that fund his'/her's campaign throughout the country. If the person wins the race and becomes president, that person must try to complete the promises that he made during the campaign.
Claji is mainly human as most of them came from Earth; but, the original inhabitants of the planet were two species: the Wharu and Phelidiom.
They were first discovered by humans, when they were expanding southward. And since their first meet, they have been peaceful and kind enough to allow them to do this. The humans didn't use them as slave unlike other worlds with different species; but, they weren't treated nice by other humans. Claji has the largest population of both species, because of the perfect environment for the species to live. However, they wouldn't survive outside the planet without their highly sophisticated enviro-suits. The suits are built to protect them from diseases or infection if they are injured outside of the planet.
Culture is the same as you would find in Earth. Western culture is the most common kind of culture, while cultures of Europe is second common. The people of Xeiliv value in freedom and the ability to explore their dreams. At Claji, the people value honor and sacrfice of their soldiers. Their culture is said to be similar to Japan during World War II, but they don't have views to conquer the world. In fact, they are very peaceful and don't want to go to war unless there isn't a way out or the threat is huge.
Others countries have respect from Calji as they have avoided the use of violence. Some seem them as too weak to bear the power of Xeiliv. But, they wouldn't go to war with them until the federation collapses.
Work In Progress
Work In Progress
The shift in the universe is being researched by top scientists, looking for answers to the random shift. The whole galactic landscape has changed for some kind of reason and some are pointing to a "second Big Bang" that was strong enough to move anything around; but, not strong enough to destroy them. The governments of the world are funding the scientists in their research in hopes of getting answers. The scientist are currently stationed in Claji's capital city.
The other side of the debate is that a higher power caused this to happened for good or bad reasons. Some religious people are claiming that the end of days are coming, while others are saying that they're pleased with Xeiliv and the people in it. The people aren't worried about it as nothing bad has happened to them. The colony in the moon is alright, but the government is checking the colony to make such that everything hasn't been damaged. Now, they are planning to map out their new landscape and see if there's anyone around them.
Xeiliv got it's technology for the nations of Earth as they brought them with them from Earth.

Static Cling: Static can adhere most objects or people to surfaces and other objects, plus Static can magnetize surfaces.
Abilities Science: Static is a highly gifted student with a particular interest in the maths and sciences. Static also possesses an almost fanboyish knowledge of comic books, role playing games, and science fiction.
Tactical Analysis: Static is able to apply his scientific knowledge in combat and real life situations and does so almost intuitively. This allows him a certain advantage over less clever opponents.
Multilingualism: Virgil has learned to speak German for unknown reasons and is fluent enough to carry on a simple conversation in the language.
Strength level Static possesses the normal strength of a boy his age, height and build who engages in moderate regular exercise.
Transportation Static Saucer: Static uses it to fly through the air.
Weapons Static Traps: Normally, Static does not use any real weapons and mainly relies on his electromagnetic powers in battle. However, to defeat particularly formidable opponents, he will employ his "static traps," a well-planned use of his powers and everyday materials. These static traps were limited only by Static's creativity and the preparation time available.
| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES |
For unknown reasons, Static can be affected by electricity-wielding metahumans whose powers are derived from Quantum Juice. Hence, the electrostatic bolts generated by the mad doctor Byron Kilgore caused pain to Static, who is normally immune to the effects of high voltage electricity. Why this vulnerability exists is a mystery.
| NOTES |
None that I could think of right this second.
Holocaust was out on the streets of Dakota City again as the news highlighted him on the television. Static flew pass the people gathered around the television out a store on his saucer. Traveling as fast as he could, he saw Holocaust throwing a officer into his squad car. Then, he saw Static as he got back to ground level and got out of his saucer. Holocaust smiled at the sight of Static as he said, "Static. How are the wounds for our last battle doing?".
"Wounds." Static chuckle at Holocaust' comment, "I think that I got you lock up the last time as I shocked you, dude". Holocaust started to get upset as his fists were on fire now and said, "Shut up and show that you're a man! FIGHT ME.".
Static grinned at his request and said, "Fine, I will fight you. But, here's are some of my mixtapes!". He threw the hexagonal disks from his used to be saucer towards Holocaust, all three hitting him. "You little shit." Holocaust said as he saw Static running towards him with his staff. A single punch sent Static flying towards the ground with a burn mark on his face. "Got you." he grinned as he ready his punch, but Static rolled away before the punch hit the ground.
Static made an large ball of lighting and threw towards Holocaust as he felt the shock. He made an electromagnetic cage for Holocaust to think about his crimes. Realizing that he was trapped in the cage, Holocaust said towards Static, "I will kill you the next time that we meet.". Static just laugh the threat off as he waited for someone to get this guy.
History The war had reached all over the world from Europe to Asia, the world felt the impact of The First World War violently. France was the only nation with more damages than any other, even the Britain wasn't damaged as much as France was. The Germans were near Paris as sounds of gunfire and cannons were going on, even some of them hit the city. Thankfully, they were driven away from Paris and back to the front lines as the fighting was getting more serious and longer.
The people were tired of fighting the war as it was getting more costly to fight the war and the whole eastern side of France was a war zone. But, the war ended in victory and peace. Massive cuts in military expenditures and the increased industrial demands were the cost of gaining victory. Days after the war, the world was facing an depression unlike any other.
A month right after the war, things got worst as people were now waiting in line for bread and the soldiers for the war were getting tired of it. It was getting worse that the women and the elderly had to work for poor wages as the casualties were high. People were disliking the government every week as they tried to make the country stable before the war. But, the Great War changed people as they never saw a war going on for years and with the high amount of casualties never seen before in any war.
When the announcement that the arts programs in schools were getting cut in late 1926, a group of prominent poets and musicians took over the administration building at Nanterre University. They held a meeting about class discrimination in French society and the political bureaucracy that controlled the university's funding. The university's administration soon called the police and demanded that the students get out of the building. As soon as the meeting ended, the students left the building without any trouble. This caused students to distrust the police and the administration at the university. After months of conflicts between students and authorities, the university was finally closed in January 3rd, 1927.
After hearing about the closing of Nanterre, students at the Sorbonne University met to protest against the closure. With the help for The Union Nationale des Étudiants de France (UNEF), the number of protesters grew to 20,000 as the police arrived. The high school student unions, then joined the protesters at the famous Arc de Triomphe to demand three things happen after the protest:
1) All criminal charges against arrested students, teachers, and supporters be dropped, 2) The police leave the universities, 3) And the authorities reopen them.
Government officials didn't like the list that much; but, a 'leak report' that the government reopened the universities surfaced. The students ended the protesting and returned to their schools five weeks after it closed. But, students at the universities were shocked that police were still there. When students tried to enter the universities, they were sent back by police forces and some were even arrested. They now had a near revolutionary fervor.
After the false reports surfaced, a massive protest was held at Rive Gauche. When the police again blocked them from crossing the river, the crowd threw up barricades and said that they weren't leaving the bridge. After hours of negotiations, the police attacked the crowd at 2:15 in the morning. The confrontation, which produced hundreds of arrests and injuries, lasted until dawn of the following day. The events were broadcast on radio as they occurred and the aftermath was shown on newsreels and newspapers the following days. Many people were upset at the police force for treating the people harshly.
The government's heavy-handed reaction brought on a wave of sympathy for the strikers as mainstream singers and poets joined after the heavy-handed police brutality came to light. Artists all over the word also began voicing support of the strikers. The major left union federations, the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT) and the Force Ouvrière (CGT-FO), called a one-day general strike and demonstration. Then, over a million people marched through Paris on that day; the police stayed largely out of sight. The Prime Minister personally announced the release of the prisoners and the reopening of the university in May 20th, 1927, months after it closed.
After the university reopened, students occupied it and declared it an autonomous "people's university". Public opinion supported the students' actions at the university. The police couldn't do anything without upsetting the people more, so the police was put on hold until they could retake the university.
While the students were protesting, the factory workers were tired of not getting enough money for their work. On May 30th, a group of workers decided to do a sit-down strike at the Sud Aviation plant, the first factory to start the protest. This was the start as workers had occupied roughly fifty factories on the first day, and 200,000 were on strike by the next. That figure snowballed to two million workers on strike the following day and then ten million, or roughly two-thirds of the French workforce, on strike the following week.
The police tried to contain this spontaneous outbreak of militancy by channeling it into a struggle for higher wages and other economic demands. Workers put forward a broader, more political and more radical agenda, demanding the ousting of the government and the president attempting, in some cases, to run their factories. But, the demands were changed to fit the The Ministry of Social Affairs' deal, which increased the minimum wage by 25% and the average salaries by 10% to the workers. The deal was rejected, and the strike went on as the working class and top intellectuals were joining in solidarity for a major change in workers' rights.
With the massive numbers, a meeting of the UNEF, the most outstanding of the events, proceeded and gathered 30,000 to 50,000 people in the Stade Sebastien Charlety. The meeting was extremely militant with speakers demanding the government be overthrown and elections held. The parties demanded it as well, start with the Federation of the Democratic and Socialist Left declared that "there is no more state" and stated that they were ready to form a new government. A day after the meeting, the president suddenly disappears from the public eye. He had gone to Germany in order to get somewhere safe from his family, if the government was overthrown. As soon as his disappearance made headlines, the people were declaring that the president had left the country and declaring that July 1st would be a day to celebrate. Crowds were formed to celebrated the news and fireworks could be heard in Paris.
During the time of celebration, the government was in panic mode as they were removing classified information or planning out their escape. During that time, the Prime Minister took over and acted like the government during the chaos moments. He demanded that the military find the President and bring him to safely as he was afraid that he was kidnapped or worse. As soon as the President heard the news, he returned to France and told the people that he was in Germany doing something 'personal'. The people believed that he was planning his escape route if the revolution did break out.
After the President's speech, 400,000 to 500,000 protesters (many more than the 50,000 the police were expecting) led by the CGT met and marched through Paris on July 23, chanting that the President must leave. The head of the Paris' police force told the officers to not use force; however, his word didn't mean anything. The protest was largely centered around the Paris metropolitan area, and not elsewhere. Soon, they started to occupy a key public building in the heart of Paris: Les Invalides. They weren't doing anything harmful, but the government used military troops to force them out. Soon, it turned bloody as a soldier shot at one of them. Claiming that he was running towards him with something on his hand, even known people claimed that he just shot him for no reason. After the shot was fired, a couple more soldiers fired into the crowd out of fear until they were told to stop. Five died and three were wounded for gunshots at Les Invalides on the same day.
After the shooting, the people were getting ready to force the government to change in both a peaceful and harmful way. The revolution had begun due to the resulting casualties in the streets of Paris. The Socialist Party and French Communist Party gains public support quickly as the revolution starts in Paris and spreads all over France. The government and military are confused by the revolution as officials left the country or captured by the rebels. Two months of fighting between police and military forces and the people turned France into another war zone as towns were damaged and Paris was on fire.
This revolution would end with the president's death as he and his family were caught escaping a month and a half after the revolution started. The family was killed in the car, that they were escaping in, and the President was taken to an unknown location. Days later, camera filmed the execution of the President as a man waited for the President's last words to be said and then fired three bullets to the head. The revolution had ended on October 5th, 1927. The parties had done well gaining the support needed for the elections in the coming months.
After the people voted, they founded out that the Socialist Party won the election as their president's name was called. The Communist Party was such that they would gain the next election; but, due to leadership changes and the fears of Communism later on would lower them. After the president was elected to office, he introduced several reforms and programs over his term and tried to improve his country. France would be improved until the Great Depression started, which almost caused France to enter another revolution. But, the government was able to fix them before the fire could spread.
During the early fifties, France improved relations by helping Britain restore their monarchy as they realized that their king was in France. After sending supplies to them, they became close friends and still are to this day. However, they had to give up almost all of their colonies in order to force back at home. Lost to rebellions or sold them to other countries, France was such to rebuild themselves and become once more a powerful nation in this world.
Not before losing the democratic socialism party to The Republicans, a centre-right political party.
Character history Before the outbreak, Camille was just starting college in order to become a doctor. He always wanted to be a doctor like his father was when he was a children. Weeks before the outbreak, he got accepted into the best college in Paris and was getting ready to move near the college. As he was finishing packing his things, the news of the outbreak spread to Paris and he hide inside his apartment.
He hoped that the outbreak wouldn't hit France; but, it did hit France and Paris as people were dying daily. He didn't hear from his father until he called Camille. He told him that he was at an unknown location, trying to make a cure and that he must stay safe. He decided to get out of Paris and go to Reims and wait for the plague to end at some shelter.
The shelter lasted for the year as he was the only one to find it and he decided to get out to the world and see it changed. The first thing he did was he went to Metz to see if his friend was still alive. While getting to Metz, he saw bandits and other horrible things during his travel. Then he got to Metz and found out that his friend left for Paris; but, he left something behind. Now, he didn't know what to do but to move forward.
Gear Backpack (with food, water, etc.), white t-shirt, red jacket, and blue jeans.
Abilities Danger Sense Transformation: When in the presence of danger, whether to herself or others, Dawn Granger can call out the word "Dove" and be transformed into her Dove form. She does not need to be aware of the danger for the transformation to take place, so if she happened to say the word while unknowingly being in danger, the transformation would take place.
Hyper-Vigilant: As Dove her natural aptitudes are enhanced, such as her ability as a good judge of people and situations allowing her to read people and objects in a situation, within seconds, and know how they will act and react.
Flight: The transformation changes Granger into a minor force of Order and she gains some brilliant avian physical characteristics, which are usually hidden under her costume.
Superhuman Agility: Dove can dodge almost indefinitely, multiple times from multiple sources of action. She's dodged punches, swords, bullets and more multiple times.
Enhanced Durability:
Concentrated Radiance: On high magic worlds her powers are enhanced, she can concentrate her radiance into a blinding beam of light.
Skills Hand-to-Hand Combat (Basic)
| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |
The transformation only reacts to actual danger, so if Dawn incorrectly believed that she was in danger she would be unable to transform into Dove. The transformation wears off a short time after the danger has passed, unless Dove has received serious injuries which would kill Dawn, in which case she would remain as Dove until the danger from the injuries has passed. On high magic worlds she can remain as Dove for extended periods regardless of whether there is any danger present.
Type of Government Dalatrum is a constitutional monarchy, where the ruler is restricted by the Constitution of Dalatrum. They are tough on what kind of powers the royal family is able to have. They are only able to to consulted, advise, and warn parliament when there's an important matter going on. They can't even declare war without parliament's approval and the majority of them are against another war. Parliament would rather focus on expanding Dalatrum's colonial empire than going to war. Because of that, they are very friendly with most of the nations in the world.
Heads of Government King Edward IV and Queen Margaret I rule the country as a whole. They both hold the powers to consulted, to advise, and to warn the members of parliament; however, their power is limited by the constitution. The real heads of the government is Parliament, even known they don't admit it to the public. The ruling political party will have more power until the king's and queen's banner. In reality, the royal family is there for power and influence from parliament. And the current political party is against going to war against any nation.
Economy WIP
Primary Species Humans makeup the majority of the population in Dalatrum.
Population 4,000,000
Culture The nobility of Dalatrum believe that status and appearance are as important as owning tons of money. The Dalatrum culture is renowned for its infighting, with every family engaging on some level in what’s known as the Grand Game, or simply The Game. It's a term applied to the politics and machinations of the nobles, political official, and even rulers of Dalatrum. The politics is an incredibly complicated "game" or "dance" of intrigue, seduction, ambition and scandal, an approach to politics, high culture and morality that is quintessentially from Dalatrum. The political and familial infighting that characterizes the Game is common in the country.
The Game's purpose is one-upmanship of rival aristocrats and the rules is simply this: all is accepted as long as the player is not caught, up to and including murder. Paradoxically, however, though direct culpability is undesirable, credit and recognition are demanded. Indeed, an individual known as a skilled player is granted discreet respect among his or her peers. Due to this tension the Game is a losing proposition for the uninitiated, and it is said that more blood is spilled in the Game than in any war in Dalatrum's history.
The lower classes are believed by the nations beyond Dalatrum to resent the Game that ostensibly keeps them demeaned. However, most peasants desire to ascend as well, and the vain hope of accruing a generous patron or sufficient funds to gain a title of worth makes them surprisingly accepting of the Game's excesses. It is much less of a meritocracy than it appears, however, and the Game frequently sorts the wheat of Dalatrum society from the chaff.
The nobility is prone to wearing very elaborate masks during these events. These masks are hereditary and identify one's family almost as uniquely as the heraldry on a crest: a family might be associated with a lion crest, and matching lion masks will identify them in public. Retainers and servants wear a simpler form of a family's mask. Family symbols are well known among the public eye, and anyone attempting to wear a mask that doesn't belong to their house runs the risk of a quick death if discovered.
Wearing makeup is another popular tradition for both men and women in the country. There is both masculine and feminine makeup, although outsiders have trouble telling the difference. Makeup can be a strong indicator of social standing. The quality and rarity of one's makeup—uncommon hues and consistencies are prized—speak volumes of one's status.
Religious and other Beliefs There isn't an official religion to the royal family or political officials as they stay away from religious topics. But, the people believe in different kinds of religions in the country. The most popular religion is that there's only one God, that created the planet and the body of water. But, most people don't have a religion to follow.
The Sanctuary City of Kirhall - Failed State - Wernher
Faction Name The Sanctuary City of Kirhall.
Faction Type
Faction Main Base of Operation Kirhall.
Faction Goals (What is to be achieved, your own victory conditions if you will... but remember that the world goes on around you.)
Faction Composition (Not as much the number as the member's general religious, ethnic and cultural identities.)
Initial Assets (Things that go out of the ordinary that your faction has managed to aquire, that can range from 'Significant amount of members' to more specific weapon assets or off-shore money as well as foreign support. All of this is veto'ed by me.)
Methods of Operation (Do people have a lot of freedom of action? Is the leadership centralized? Right now, are people ordered to attack government forces or to evade them?)
Faction History (Can be short or long, how your faction came to be? Did it already have run ins with the government? Etc.)
Faction Leadership (The decision makers of your group. Take note that a lot of people will die and a satellite guided cruise missile can quickly decimate a leadership. Expect people to come and go from that list so if you have a 100% centralized leadership expect your orders to be followed to the letter, but with a certain vulnerability to decapitation strikes.)
Faction Eyes (To describe battles, you can hardly do so from the eyes of a leader as not to risk him. These people are small timer grunts, civilians sympathetic to the cause. You can be brief about these people and hey, maybe include a few grunts destined to be upgraded to leadership later.)

The nobles helped shaped the small country of Dalatrum grow strong enough to face off against The Claji Federation in 1736. The war grew longer and longer as both sides were gathering and losing grounds until Dalatrum's military launched a deadly attack on Claji's capital, burning it until it was reduced to ashes. With the President dead, Claji's Vice President surrendered the country to Dalatrum and shortly after, they annexed the country. Then, they changed the name to The United Kingdoms of Dalatrum and Claji.

Appearance Marco stands at 5'08" with the average weight of 180. His black hair was long until he joined the Systems Alliance and cut it short for good. And his serious gaze with light brown eyes, making him a trustworthy person.
Background "The Universe, so far as we can observe it, is a wonderful and immense engine; its extent, its order, its beauty, its cruelty, makes it alike impressive." — George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1916.
One year before the Prothean relics were discovered on Mars, Marco Castillo was born in the capital of the Philippines. His father, Malakai Castillo, had been in the Philippine Navy for fifteen years as a commander.
The Castillo's military service begun during the Philippine Revolution, when people of the island fought against Kingdom of Spain for freedom. They tried to fight towards independence until the Philippine-American War began and ended with defeat. Then, they fought in World War II against the Empire of Japan as they were taking over all of Asia. After World War II ended and the country was free from Japanese control, the Castillo family decided to keep the long history of military service going.
Life had been planned for Marco and his other siblings (three sisters and five brothers) until the relics were discovered, proving that humanity wasn't alone. The Castillo family were very religious Catholics among with most of the Philippines. Even, the Pope declined the findings and said that it was "propaganda against all religion". Despite their disagreements, Malakai and his two sons joined the Systems Alliance as soon as it formed.
Because they had joined the Alliance, they moved all the way from Manila to Madrid. The family had a hard time adjusting to life in a new place, while the father signed to be in the 5th Exploration Fleet and the two sons joined the Colonial Garrison Unit. Soon enough, Malakai left Earth to help out in the newly massive military fleet to defend the expanding territory and when one of the first colonies was established, the two sons left as well. Leaving the mother to raise her children alone.
The family decided to stay on Earth, still doubtful of alien life until the First Contact War happened with the attack on Shanxi. At the time, Malakai was with the Second Fleet under Admiral Kastanie Drescher and saw the turian fleet for the first time as they launched a powerful counteroffensive. The news soon spread of the attack and the new aliens, causing fear among the Castillo. And then, they got the news that one of the sons died during the attack. This caused the hate towards aliens to grow.
At the age of nine, Marco overheard his siblings and parents talking about the First Contact War, the Citadel, and the 'aliens'. Months after the First Contact War, his father came back to Earth to discussed plans for the future of the family. Most of the family members hated aliens for taking their loved one away; however, the young Marco didn't understand what really was happening besides the fact that they met other species.
As he was getting older, he got more interested in history of humanity and the other species as he learned about them in school. Despite his thirst for knowledge, his family banned anything that could "corrupt the minds and our religion" and had connections beyond Earth. Marco started to avoid the rules and saw pictures of the Citadel and other planets, read about the history of the turians, and heard rumors about the beautiful asari. The relationship between his family was getting worse until he was found kissing another boy, forcing him to come out as gay.
His father came back to Earth to question Marco's activities among with most of the family. After a heated argument, he was slapped by his mother and was sent to his room. He quickly send a message to his two sisters, Joanna and Ciara, to get him out of Earth as soon as possible. Despite getting the message, they lived at the Citadel and the cost to get someone from Earth to the Citadel was a lot.
It would be months of physical and emotional abuse from his family members until his sisters were able to get enough credits for Marco to board onto a ship to the Citadel. He had finally escaped from the nightmare back at Earth.
Life at the Citadel was a whole lot different than life at Earth—even traveling in space was difficult for Marco. But, he was happy to be away from his family and being independent in this new place. At first, he wanted to be C-Sec like his sister, Ciara; however, they only accepted the best and she was one of the best and respected cops in Spain. But, she taught Marco how to fire a gun and close combat that C-Sec taught her. He had no other choice, but to become a cook at his other sister's restaurant, Joanna.
But, at the age of twenty, he wanted to do something else other than stay at her sister's restaurant. Then, he remembered about the Systems Alliance and the family's military history. He wanted to continue that history, even if the family didn't care about him. That was when he decided to join the Systems Alliance in 2168 CE.
For eight years, he served the Alliance as a cook in the Skyllian Verge and then moved to the 68rd Division, where his shooting and combat skills improved; however, he was still at the Skyllian Verge. He had planned to stay at the alliance until he retired; however, everything changed one day when Mindoir was attacked. His Division was stationed at Mindoir, when batarian slavers attacked the colony. It was a surprise attack as hundreds of slavers started to kill the colonist and even capturing some.
Most of his division were either killed or separated because of the attack. Marco was hiding with some of the colonies, when the rest of the Marines arrived; despite their best efforts, they couldn't push forward. They went from house to house, trying to escape the slavers; however, most of the colonists were dead and some had killed themselves in hopes of not becoming slaves. Marco had to endure the horrors of Mindoir for two days until air support from one of the lines gave him enough time to make a run for it.
Only two colonists lived, while fifteen died during the attack. This event changed him forever, because he felt like he failed the family line again. For the remaining seven years, he went on to travel to different parts of the galaxy. But, he couldn't get Mindoir off of his mind and he had regular nightmares about it, about the colonists that he couldn't save. And the fear that he had to have that responsibility again caused him to retire with honours.
He quickly returned to the Citadel and helped out at his sister's restaurant again. He was the head cook for that restaurant for two years until he saw a classified ad for a job aboard a ship. At first, he didn't think much of the classified ad, but he thought about how he could do good again without the responsibility that he had to have at the Alliance. He took the offer and soon spent his well-earned credits on gears, even known his sisters questioned him about the decision.
But, he said that he would keep in contact with them once he left the Citadel. And Marco soon left behind the perfect life of being a cook at a restaurant for being a cook aboard a ship, traveling around the galaxy and earning credits.
