Sup, thinking about enrolling, but first, could we possibly learn some information about the game's setting from you?
Is it a fantasy kitchen sink where it's completely okay to find children of gods running around n shit, like DC-verse or is it something grittier and more realistic? I mean, considering we are teenage villains it's certainly not the completely usual stuff.

To be completely honest, I'm too very interested in that question. I was acting under the assumption that we have to be somewhat more subdued than a literal demigods and stuff. I might have to rethink my character if that's the universe where the Earth is the hub between realities and everyone and their mother had third kind of contact with extradimensional visitors.

This sounds like fun, I'm keen to join if you'll have me.

Name: Andrew/ Alias - Nergal
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: Andrew wears simple and rough clothing, consisting of torn jeans and a sleeveless shirt, having learnt quickly that good looking clothing makes one a target on the street. His soft features from his pampered lifestyle have given way to a much rougher features including a number of scars from the brawls he has gotten himself into. His blonde hair has become rather messy and unkempt though he keeps it cut short so it stays out of the way. His eyes are a dark brown/green color and seem dull and without the spark of life at most times, though when he succeeds in a crime or venture they momentarily regain that spark. His overall body structure is toned but not muscular, his focus being on agility and dexterity rather than strength

Personality:Sadistic, Rageful, Selfish, Arrogant, Bad with Authority
Powers/skills: Corrosive Touch, Toxic Fluids, Poison Resistance
Corrosive Touch: The chemicals that splashed Andrew caused a side-effect in his biological makeup, granting him the ability to change the chemical compounds of the skin of his body. By focusing his mind on a part of his body, Andrew can make the skin of that area become corrosive enough that his very touch begins to break down the object he comes into contact with. The longer he concentrates and the longer he maintains physical contact with the area, the stronger this effect becomes. This effect is most pronounced when contact is made using the palms of his hands, however it can still be used by the rest of skin, though to a much weaker degree. When this is used on a person, it will initial cause a burning of the skin with longer contact beginning to melt the skin and work on the underlying structure of the unfortunate victim. Wounds caused by this resemble chemical burns and can result in poisoning in some cases

Toxic Fluids: Any of the liquids from Andrew’s body, such as blood or saliva, can become toxic with concentration. With some mental effort, he can make the blood from a wound, or saliva as he gathers it in his mouth, he can change its chemical structure to be either poisonous or corrosive to the general human. Unlike his touch, the toxins produced are specifically designed for a biological reaction. The poisons produced will only cause an effect if they enter the target’s bloodstream and can mimic a weak version of most poisons found naturally in the world (Mild Paralysis, muscle spasming, blood thinning, etc.). Non-living substances will have minimal effect from any toxins produced this way

Poison Resistance: Due to his ability to create poisons and toxins, Andrew has an initiate resistance to being poisoned himself. This does not make him immune to the effects but reducing their impact and minimizing the chance of lethality.

Equipment: The main tools he carries around a set of throwing knives and a sickle. He has no problem picking up any other bladed weapons he comes across as he can lace them with his poisons, allowing him to increase the lethality of what would otherwise be glancing blows

Short Bio: Andrew lived a life that many would have envied, having a well renowned father and mother for scientists ensured that he was well taken care of. Wanting to ensure the best for their child, his parents made sure he was offered the best education and experiences to ensure he would follow in their footsteps and continue down the path they had. Despite being provided the means to live in the upper echelons of society by his parents however, Andrew expressed resentment at how it seemed his life had already been decided for him by his parents. Further fueling this resentment was the fact his parents research demanded their time and attention, often leaving Andrew on his own unless it was him expressing interest in the topic of research they were currently working on

By the time he was finishing High-school and beginning to look at Universities, this resentment had developed into a deep-seated hatred which resulting in many arguments between the family. On one such night where his parents were on the verge of a breakthrough, when the family was planning on having a dinner together once they had finished the latest research, another argument broke out while tensions were at an all time high. Heated words were exchanged and becoming enraged by the conversation, Andrew began taking his anger out on the nearby equipment and causing it to malfunction. The end result was the equipment exploding, injuring Andrew both from the blast and the chemical burns he suffered.

After being rushed to hospital and stabilized, Andrew was eventually visited by his father who promptly told him this attitude of his could go on no longer, and he either to behave himself or become disowned. Left alone to mull over this fact, Andrew eventually decided he could not live with his life being dictated by others. While he healed he slowly began to realise the accident had resulted in some positive side effects. Spending the next few days testing his abilities, he eventually disappeared from the hospital, abandoning who he and any ties to his past. The next few years he spent honing his own skills and forging his own path, not caring for those he hurt or killed as long as he got to live his own life.

Other: N/A for now

Not to sure about the power levels you'd want for our villains so if its too weak/strong happy to change it

My eyes hurt from how cliche this is man
How about "Blighter" or "Nergal" or "Sarine" or "DK" at least?
Power itself is pretty fuckin sick tho, but i think you should up the ante.
How about giving yourself full immunity to most acids and toxins due to rubbery qualities of your flesh and strong metabolism and get the ability to expel great volumes of poisonous mist through the pores?
When we enter the city you can kick off the festivities by sneezing in a crowded place and slowly killing a fifth of population.

Let's think up a name of our crew!
I've got some variants already:

Star Squad
Jet Set
Gilded Youth
Splatterhouse
Razorboys
Also, Karnage Krew

Anybody has any ideas?

The setting is very similar to the dc universe. Basically it is our world but with aliens, demigods and the supernatural existing in it. It's dark, but not realistic

Who the fuck named us so badly?
I mean, IC. Or rather, does anyone somehow enforces it? Like, will our heads explode if we don't call ourselves young devils?

How is it a bad name? You suggested Star Squad, that doesn't like a super villain team name at all.

I clearly stated in the OP that this was inspired off of Young Justice and Teen Titans as well as Suicide Squad. Both YJ and TT have mystical and myth themed characters

@Weird Tales and Suicide Squad(well, new film) has a mystic too.
I don't have problem with mystical characters per se as long as they're done with a certain finesse, tastefullness and originality. However, straight-up "hey, I'm a son of god of war" or "hey, I'm a vampire, complete with aversion to crosses and stuff" is just reeks of the four-colour morning cartoon, whereas I expected something more low-key, more....gritty, I think? Something closer to the Runaways than to Avengers, if you will, atmosphere-wise.
I made my current character under the assumption that we'd have to start low-level and carefully prepare our moves. So I envisioned for her down-to-earth motivations, thought about her sentiments and such. I expected other characters to be fundamentally human too - more like Batman's or Spiderman's antagonists than Thor. This character would thematically clash with those two(as I see it, at least; I may be mistaken), and while I could change her to fit into four-colour game, I somehow feel that me going all-out on body horror is not something that would be fitting either. So I see no real solution but to drop this altogether, to not unnecessary frustrate myself and others.

Yes, exactly!
Star Squad or Jet Set is a completely unfitting name considering what we do, but considering who we are - mostly mad teenagers basically living a power fantasy, we could TOTALLY pick it. It will even add to the squad's scariness due to the dissonance between this bunch of psycho kids and their name. Young Devils would be cool if we were actually all some sort of fiend-blooded guys, but IMO, without that it's just... mediocre. Splatterhouse or Whippersnappers are more, like, modern and non-serious.

Wow. This thread seems pretty villainous already. Not sure if I can commit. But I do like the idea.

I have to say that for the exact reason that Progenitus isn't feeling this anymore, I'm into it. I want to be on a team with a vampire, a demigod a mad scientist, maybe an alien or a cyborg, and perhaps a professional thief, gunslinger or something rogueish. But my point is that I'm sick of all the grim and gritty "realistic superheroes". It's so pretentious anymore. I just want to be creative and have fun. And if this is a roleplay where I will be able to do that, then I am interested.
