Just gonna say that I won't be able to post my character for two days or so, as I'm in the process of moving to another state (currently using my phone's data, and I'd like to clarify that I HATE writing posts/working on characters on mobile). Should be back to normal on the fifth or sixth.

Weird Tales A Stranger from A Strange Outer Dimension

Member Seen 14 hrs ago

I just need to finish the sample post.

Name: Michael O'Connor
Alias: Light Walker
Age: 18
Personality: faithful, loyal, brave, individualistic and stubborn
Archetype: mystic
Powers: Michael only has a very tiny amount of his creator's omnipotent power, that small fraction still grants him some amazing abilities. His abilities broken off into four categories, creation, destruction, perception and causation.

Divine Shape: He can use his divine energy to form either a glowing football or a baseball, which he can toss to hit an opponent with blunt force

God's Will: Michael can move things through sheer will, he can create shock waves when in a fight to knock away enemies. He can also focus the shock wave to increase the power of his punches and other hand fighting techniques.

Healing touch: this ability allows Michael to heal the injuries of others by touching their wounds. This won't save people from fatal wounds, but minor breaks and cuts will be healed.

God's Eyes: With his left eye Michael can see all supernatural forces and creatures as well as magic and divine energy. His right eye allows him to see people's emotions.

Great swordsmanship: Michael is a very skilled swordsman

Weaknesses:
silver is almost like kryptonite to him

too much emotion will weaken his powers

He has no superhuman durability and will get injured from a bullet or knife like any other normal human
Appearance: his superhero costume is modeled after crusader clothing

Character Evolution: Michael wants to understand his purpose as a creation of the Presence.
BRIEF Bio: On the seventh hour of the seventh of the seventh month Michael was created. Michael was never like any other kid in Metropolis, in fact his parents were not even his real parents. He had been adopted by his mother and father when he had appeared on their doorstep one morning on July 7. His mother and father were unable to have children, but they had prayed to God for one and to them Michael's mysterious appearance was a miracle.

They treated him like he was their flesh and blood. But even as a toddler strange things happened around him. First he had healed their pet dog's broken leg by simply touching it and his hand had glowed a bright white when it happened. This shocked his adopted parents, but they didn't bring up again until another unexplained thing happened when he was seven. While he was out playing his mind thought of a sphere and in his hand appeared a glowing orb. These were only two of several weird incidents that happened with Michael.

Eventually his parents told him about they had adopted him and that he had been left on their doorstep. When he asked about his real parents they told him that could not find any trace of them or their whereabouts. It was around this time that Michael befriended a boy named Wally who was a nice kid and gave Michael some words of encourage and wisdom. He was glad to have friends, especially someone like Wally who was a really good moral person for Michael to be friends with.

Wally and him played together a lot as kids and Michael even eventually told Wally about his strange abilities. He was worried about being called a freak and becoming shunned by the town, but Wally did no such thing and viewed his powers a gift. As the years went on weird things would still happen on occasion, but it was nothing too serious.

But then when he was thirteen his special powers began to manifest even more and one day he accidentally unleashed a bolt of divine energy and blew apart a metro station bench. After that incident Michael began to worry if his gifts were too powerful for him to control. five years later he was approached by the mysterious being known as The Phantom Stranger and the entity explained to him that he was a creation of the supreme being known as The Presence.

Michael was a creation of God and was destined to help carry out his will. All of this information was a lot to take in and he had to explain it to his adoptive parents. As a religious couple they believed his story and Michael now had to figure out what he would do to help develop his powers. He then was instructed by Phantom Stranger to go to the Justice League to learn how to control his great powers better and use them for good.

Notes: he is a creation of The Presence like the Specter and Phantom Stranger. Michael also uses a longsword as his primary weapon

I'm going to work on my own CS tonight and take a look at what's already been posted.

For original characters... know that if you have more than like six powers you're gonna have to make some edits. The main reason why I take Lanterns off the table is because there's always that one RPer who looks at a wiki list of powers and sees every single application for GL power that's ever been used [even if it was only ever done once] and thinks they need every power. To most people Green Lantern is a guy who can fly, shoot green lasers, and make glowing green constructs. And that is exactly what they were made to be. However in specific stories GL's have caused nuclear explosions, moved planets, created planets, mimicked telepathy, time traveled, made pocket dimensions, performed life saving surgery, created wormholes, etc. Nobody needs that kinda power in a group RP. And you've gotta save some powers for other players. It's not that I won't accept anybody with similar powers, but know that if I do it won't be many. If I got CS's for a dozen powerless vigilante Batman types... I MIGHT accept maybe four.

I want players in large quantity for this, but not at the cost of quality. In some cases you could probably just make the descriptions shorter and group some abilities together. For example... Superman has a ton of powers. To trim them down a little I'd put 'heightened physical attributes, sensory based powers including heat and x-ray vision, and flight. Bing bang BOOM. I'd likely ask their physical limits and then we'd know what kinda raw strength and speed everyone has. But yeah, I specifically said 'don't get too nuts' so if you did I'll likely skip powers and look at the rest of the CS for now and get back to you.

Oh, and my character will be the classic non-android Manhunter. Also not to be confused with everyone's favorite Martian...

I've got notes for everybody who's posted sheets. One sec...

@Pathfinder The sheet looks good so far. Hope to see it finished.

@Weird Tales Reminds me of your guy from Futures End. He needs to be aged up to at least 20-21. 'Divine Shapes' also seems like too much and another potential recruit is looking to use the Ray who's essentially a dumbed down GL. 'God's Will' is basically telekinesis with a couple sub-powers, however sub-powers are powers all the same. An area attack, enhancing punches, AND moving stuff with your mind is already formidable enough. And you've got more powers beyond that.

@Experiment 249 The demon and the angel both have too many powers. The neutral side is good to go. Hope to see this sheet finished! Puts me in the mind of Man-E-Faces from He-Man. First a guy with 'Four categories of powers' and now a guy with three forms like a Super Saiyan. You guys did see where I said not to get too nuts? Both are still good distinct characters. It's cool if you wanna be magic/supernatural themed, just leave some powers for others. If somebody applied with Dr. Fate and wiki listed everything he's ever done I'd even tell them to trim it down.

@WXer Accepted! Reminded me more of Negative Man with a dash of Ironman. I'm giddy the first hero accepted is based on Negative Man. This just made my 4th LOL.

@Member 00492 God's will is mostly for utility and the shockwave while powerful is not super powerful. Divine shapes is mainly based upon God's ability to create things, he can only create basic shapes at the moment. I understand your concerns but given his weaknesses I thought they easily balanced out his powers

The rest of the sheet is great. IDK about calling him the second best detective next to Batman though... especially at 26.

I forgot to mention Superman, Batman, and GL will all be in their late 40's to early 50's. The whole reason for the JLU happening will be a little different. Depending on who applies with who, two other heroes will be picked to have been in the 'older JL'. Those two will have been killed and now the remaining JL founders are recruiting heroes to one day protect the world without them if and when they finally get taken down or retire.

@Member 00492
I was going off of some of his descriptions in the comics, where he's said to be the second best detective in the world, behind Batman. I can change it if you want.

EDIT: Then again, that incarnation of Vic is in his early to mid thirties I believe, so yeah.
