@PlatinumSkink And here am I, having spent several hours trying to dot down a power of mad genius in the definite terms without it looking like arbitrary "do anything", look at your power and understand that I must look like a fool now, considering that I could have just written down something along the line of "could mess around with biological", if your thing here is the benchmark.
@Progenitus I'm a little bit confused as to what you mean with looking like a fool. I will say that your character sheet is quite a handful to read due to all the thick paragraphs of stuff.
@Eyeruption ... I could remove one "l"? ... I think I will. Edit: ... Nah, that looks weird. Eh.
Personality: Apathetic, she floats along life, showing little emotion even to the deeply disturbing. She does not mind doing disturbing things herself, either. Arrogant, she believes she’s better than you, even if the opposite is proven. She looks down on any petty act that has no purpose, as well. Irritable, things that annoy her annoy her a lot, and is about to explode. She’s very likely to hold a grudge, which is why she’s here. Graceful, the way she moves and talks would make you think she’s royalty. This is her at her best, disturbingly graceful. At her worst… Childish, that ice-cream looks delicious. I want it. Hey, pay attention to me. Heeeeeeeeeey. … I can’t have it? … *ice-cream stand explodes* Hmpf. Serves you right.
Powers/skills: Her one capability is her understanding of technology way out of her league and capability to construct such. However, if confronted without her toys, Metallia will be but a 15 year old girl in terms of combat prowess.
Equipment:
On herself. Her headset, those two things on her head, contains extremely powerful transmitters and receivers, allowing her to make use of public satellites to communicate with her robots wherever they might be. They also send back any information they have to update them on what they’re doing right now. Using this, Metallia can directly control her robots as if they were her own limbs, should she wish it.
Oh, and that dress is bullet-proof highest grade combat-armor. There’s also metal in it, to allow her to control herself with the next machine if needed.
Her chair. She has her own chair which is called the R5. This machine is equipped with two very powerful magnetic controllers (one in each black box by her hips in the image). These allow Metallia to fly, carry around those two giant metal arms to do her bidding and generally harass enemies with any metallic things nearby. Her magnetic control with this can be pretty powerful, though she cannot deform metal objects with it and there’s a limit to how fast she can accelerate things depending on their weight. She probably can’t affect a car all that much.
It is also outfitted with machine-guns, capability of launching multiple kinds of rockets or explosives, supreme impact-power in close combat, emergency thrusters and it is also rather customizable depending on what Metallia needs on her newest trip.
Robots.
Tia in the middle. Usual robots to the left and right.
First there’s Tia. She’s an android that Metallia felt like building because she was bored one day. Tia does not have the capability to display any emotions, but through an AI Metallia considers “rudimentary” she emulates human intelligence to a frightening level, though has no capacity to do anything but follow instructions and answer to her mistress’s commands. That is, except for destroying enemies with robot strength and utilizing the rockets/machine guns in her arms. Metallia spent more time on Tia than her usual robots and she should be considered more powerful.
The usual robots are big humanoid shapes that are bulky but quite strong. In their shoulders they can carry weapons from blades, guns, explosives, whatever Metallia felt like putting in it. Metallia can control them directly or she can allow their AI to do the maneuvering based on her instructions. Though, while the AI in them is supposedly very advanced because Metallia made it, they mostly suck in combat and most heroes make short work of them. Their inability to be competent should never be underestimated. However, Metallia can make a lot of them in a relatively short amount of time. If The Presence needs an army, she can provide it.
Of course, in the future, Metallia is able to invent new robots to cause trouble for her enemies. When she does, I’ll most likely delve into this link, where I found her image. conceptrobots.blogspot.se/2012_07_01_a..
Short Bio:
Metallia does not know her own backstory. But, if you wish to know, then feel free to open the hider.
Metallia is a drone from a super-villain of galactic proportions. She is, to say, a biological android, having been designed rather than born but yet still have organs and function like a normal human would. Her “father” created her and sent her to Earth in a shuttle that would germinate her on the way so she’d be born upon arrival. She was supposed to gain further orders upon arrival.
However, when Metallia was arrived on Earth and was born, no orders came. Be this because the super-villain was defeated before she arrived or for another reason entirely, the information that was supposed to spur her on her way never came. And then… she was stuck there. … However. Her mind still has information which her father considered “vital for survival”, which just happened to include information on superior technology from space.
Metallia started her existence as 14 years old in England. She simply opened her eyes and there she was. Nobody knew who she was, not even herself. That said, she managed to quickly find lodging with a nice old grandma who took pity on her. The police could not find any record of her existence, and when she was sent to the hospital for a check on her mind.
In the hospital, however, something odd happened. She… became extremely annoyed at the technology they used to examine her. Because, it could be so much more efficient, so much more thorough. As it was, they could miss whatever the issue was! She lashed out in anger, and then she was down at the police again, who believed themselves to have a problem child on their hands. They had no idea.
Encouraged to do something about humanity’s inferior technology, she started working. Under the name Angelica Wilder, a name she took out of nowhere, she took the job as a maid to a prevalent technological doctor while she worked tirelessly on new technology on the side. She invented something ground-breaking in the field of robotics, and she expected to be praised. Sure enough, she WAS praised by the doctor…
… Then he took patent on her invention and received all the credit. Nobody would believe a young maid like her had developed such a piece of technology. Enraged, Angelica decided to forcefully punish the doctor who took her things by building robots that would do her bidding. Taking the name “Metallia”, she attacked the doctor’s university. … That’s when she found out she stood no chance against the heroes of today.
Managing to escape, Metallia turned her attention to these… “heroes”. They had defended the doctor. They had to pay. She’d develop better robots, better weapons. She’d find out their secret identities and who their loved ones were. It became clear to her that the only way she could be allowed to make humanity better… was if she took over it all herself, first…!
… That said, she never had much luck as a super-villain. Her robots were often easily destroyed by heroes she confronted. … That’s when The Presence contacted her… … …
Other: … If bored someday, you might find her aimlessly browsing the internet and/or playing a video game. She can be easily distracted if she doesn’t feel like doing what she should be doing. Beware her knowledge of the internet.
She can fairly easily get and invent what she desires by selling things she made/fixed on the internet while buying, which is how she gained all the items she needs to make her contraptions. The things she buy look innocent on paper, but become significant when she starts working on them. Money has never been her goal.
... ... ... I got inspired, so I made a character. Did I do it right? Am I allowed to have that backstory? Am I on the right level of power?
@PlatinumSkink well, it's quite simple: I was trying to put "mad genius" in a plain english and ended up with a thick paragraphs of text. You just went and posted "good with technology" and that's that, simplicity itself. Now, the only problem is that if you'd be okayed, I'd look like a fool who wrote a wall of text for nothing.
@Progenitus Don't rile yourself up, sucka. This is low-casual game, as Weird Tales said, no need to like, be overly scrupulous. Maybe later if this rp goes on and rises to the advanced level we will flesh things out further and in better quality, but this isn't even exactly required as of now.

Operation Detonation sounds good.
If we want to incorporate "Eleven" then the second part should be alliterative or rhyming. Worm had "Slaughterhouse 9", but "11" is just not as eloquent. If all of the members were jews we could have been "Levi 11" Heaven Eleven, maybe. Little Angels

Oh, and the calling card can be a group photo where we all make funny faces on camera, with a background full of dead people and signs of our recent criminal activity. Such a ragtag crew as ours shouldn't take itself too seriously.
I haven't come up with a name yet, but Thule might half-jokingly suggest they try to pretend to be a right wing extremist group; We seem to be in the US so its not like the every day law enforcement would give a damn what we do as long as we avoid slaughtering white wealthy people.

That's totally something that should happen in the RP, maybe after we all become actual friends rather than just acquaintances?
