Definitely taking interest in this! Will 2099 be primarily action-based or will you accept roleplay posts that delve into/draw from a character's life outside their powers?
Yeah the idea is we'll all be doing our own thing for the most part and interacting whenever it comes naturally in the game. Spiderman isn't looking to remake the Avengers or anything... but if folks wanna know each other, already have an arch enemy, focus on futuristic lifestyles, its all there in the toybox. I just tossed a few ideas out there so you guys can come into the RP in whatever way you want.
Character Type - Cannon Inspired Name - Jorah Blaze Alias - Blazing Skull, Blaze Age - 29 Social Class - Midtown Alignment - good Archetype - Human
Powers -
* bionic enhancements increase his physical attributes. Max lift 1 ton, max speed on foot 75 mph. Armored body is more durable, exposed skin can withstand small arms fire.
* completely robotic left arm can be used like a computer and jack into various systems.
* uses hard light projection graphics for the flaming skull headpiece; tinkering with this gave him the ability to fire hard light flames from his mouth [a short stream of fire or just a mini blast of 'spitfire']
Skills - good with most electronics but no genius. He's not super athletic or agile but loves to run and jump through the steel skylines of Uptown in Nueva York.
Weaknesses - Still just a human with human weaknesses, hes just a little more durable because of the robotic enhancements. He's also an amputee and most of his left arm is gone. Blaze also has low self esteem and is overcoming an addiction to the drug rapture.
Arch Enemy - Depending on what we get in the villain department...
Appearance -
BRIEF Bio -
Jorah is actually the great nephew of former Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze. As a kid he had heard rumors of his relative being the famous motorcycle stuntman, and there were pictures and strange stuff in a locker passed down to Jorah that didn't make much sense. Much of the history of the Heroic Age [2008-2050] was lost but old pictures of Johnny in his old gear and cycle suggest he was either Ghost Rider or another hero called the Blazing Skull.
However Jorah would go on to live a mostly average life growing up in Brooklyn outside of Nueva York. Most of Brooklyn by this point looked like a mix of Midtown with a dash of Downtown here and there. Not as many people as in 'the city'. One night in 2097, Jorah's life would be forever changed after being high on rapture caused him to wreck his hovercar into the side of an electric gas station. An electrical fire erupted and Jorah lost most of his left arm and had scars on a large portion of his back and left thigh.
The court system had mercy on him and only sentenced him to 200 hours community service. During his time picking up litter in Times Square (the only area of Nueva York that's 'Uptown' from street level all the way to the top) he overheard somebody's plan to blow up an Alchemax Lab his friend happened to work at.
Since there were a couple of crappy movies recently about some form of Tron-like Ghost Rider, he chose to go the Blazing Skull route when creating a superhero/vigilante alias. He used some vibranium alloy debris he'd found in downtown areas to fashion armor and combined with electro-magnet powered prosthetics also managed to boost his strength, durability, and speed. Jorah took pride in the design of his hard light projection graphics. He wasn't the greatest artist or tinkerer but he could pull of some pretty legit stuff when he had the drive. In the end he foiled the bombing, but made enemies out of the Public Eye and Alchemax, who blamed Blaze for the botched bombing.
Notes - Might need to polish the CS up a bit later. I'm behind on packing/moving.
Sample Post - I'll also write something in-character for this later.
@Architect I generally don't make an OOC until I get at least five players with completed sheets. Too often I've made OOC's prematurely and then the RPs never got off the ground.
Character Type - Cannon Inspired Name - Patrick Warrens Alias - Ton, Megaton, Kiloton Age - 23 Social Class - Uptown though spends most of his time Downtown Allignment - anti-hero (Ton wants to be left alone and Patrick is a criminal) Archetype - Enhanced Human Powers - The Big Guys: At will Patrick is able to transform into the monstrous brute known as Ton. Ton can then also change into two other forms as he gets angrier. Rather than being able to increase his strength to a nigh infinite level, Ton simply changes forms and has a capped level of strength with Megaton being the stronger than Ton and Kiloton being the strongest. It takes a metaphorical ‘kick’ to get Ton to change forms meaning even after he’s calmed down as Megaton or Kiloton he might still stay in one of those forms for a while. Ton’s base form has him pretty level headed and at his weakest ‘only' being able to lift around 10 tons (a large hovercar/SUV). Megaton is more articulated with his language (speaking in proper sentences rather than classic hulk speech), possesses the strength to lift 40 tons (equivalent to an 18 wheeler in 2099) and a bad temper to match. Finally Kiloton doesn’t talk a lot and possesses the ability to lift 80 tons (a 90 ft long subway engine car). Skills - Crime Boss: Patrick runs a decently large gang and as such has access to a plethora of resources such as underworld connections, money and goons. Along with these resources he has the respect of many lower life criminals though thats not to say there are lots who’d rather see his hulked out head on a skewer. Hand-to-hand combat: Patrick, while not on par with the likes of Daredevil or any other martial artist, is still capable of holding his ground without calling on his stronger alter-ego. Weaknesses - Random Transformations: Sometimes Patrick will turn into Ton at (seemingly) random which can be a major downside if he needs to be calm and collected during a discussion with other thugs he’s trying to hire or work out a deal. Smarts: While Patrick is decently smart, Ton is more lacking in the intelligence department rendering him reliant on allies or his fists to get out of delicate situations. Arch Enemy - None as of yet Appearance - BRIEF Bio - Patrick Warrens grew up in the absolute slums of Nueva York where his parents did their best to raise him often at the expense of spending time with him. He was generally sheltered from his family’s plights as his parents put on a good charade that everything was alright even if they had to go hungry a few nights to keep their son happy and healthy. Patrick’s first true bit of tragedy struck when his mother died from scurvy and he had to drop out of high school to help his dad pay the bills. Things continued to decline as Patrick’s father began to get old and incapable of working as much as he once was physically able to. Patrick threw himself into his work as a criminal when his father finally passed away due to his deteriorating condition.
A few years would pass and the name Patrick Warrens became feared and revered in most of downtown population but Patrick hadn’t been able to push into to the superhuman crime circles despite his best efforts. Due to this Patrick sought new procedures to augment himself so that he could break into the higher revenue ventures. Patrick’s search eventually turned his attention to an experimental research program that was trying to recreate the travesty that caused all the savage hulks in the badlands. The process was done in a building bordering that badlands and had no immediate results on Patrick but the scientists seemed happy enough with the results so Patrick left, unknowingly a changed man.
In the coming months news spread about a hulk running around Nueva York and it soon became common knowledge in the underground that it was indeed Patrick Warrens. Now Patrick has the means to break into superhuman crime rings and really start imposing his will on the people Nueva York. Notes - -Patrick is somewhat based off of Kingpin and Ton is based off of the Hulk -When not in control, Patrick and Ton are unable to sense the world around them but can still communicate with one another.

I was thinking something like this but a bit more streamlined. Put it on a more buff dude and not some skinny base. I'm not saying it'd be identical but I'd wanna keep a couple elements from this design.
^^^^ This is the current *new* Powerman of the ANAD Marvel era. He's like a combo of Cage and Iron Fist...
@Member 00492 Ey, want you to know I'm still interested, it just takes me forever to get a character done without any pressure (such as a looming game start) and especially since there's so many potential characters and adaptations to do. Will get it done today or tomorrow. Also you might want to try pinging everyone who you pre-approved and tell them game can't start until everyone finishes their sheet.
Character Type - Cannon Inspired Name - Uric Warren-Marie Alias - Blackguard, Young Rogue, Thief, Copycat Age - 19 Social Class - Midtown Alignment - Bad, or Good Wherever the money flows Archetype - Mutant Powers -Power Absorption: Uric can absorb the powers, energies, memories, knowledge, talents, personality and physical abilities (whether superhuman or not) of another living being through physical contact of his skin with the skin of the other person. Even though he has a pretty good handle on his mutation, he is not as experienced or powerful as his great grandmother Rogue. He has only ever held 5 different abilities (superhuman or not) at a time, and usually just drains the life force of others to get the kill. Skills - Hand-to-hand: Uric accidentally absorbed the knowledge of the body guard who was protecting the first man he every killed. He witnessed his entire life experiences, skills and memories permanently. He also gained that man's ability to fight. Seasoned Hunter: Even though he is still young, Uric is a fine tuned assassin who knows how to hunt down a target with precision and use any means necessary. Guns: Uric prefers to use guns and his hands rather than anything else, and he is a pretty good shot. He can use just about any gun, from a 9mm to a 50cal. People Person: Uric has to have the ability to put on any face to get his jobs done, he can read other pretty easily, and is able to pass off as believable to most. Weaknesses - Taking it All In: Uric has a lot of limitations to his mutation; when he absorbs the life force of none superhuman he ends up taking everything from them as well, memories, feels, emotions, skills, tendencies etc. This can be very distracting and cloud his mind when he does this to more than one person at a time. In contrast, he is a lot better at focusing on what he wants when he absorbs from a superhuman but still might take some residual tendencies and emotions. Rogue was better trained to take what she wanted, he only has what he has learned himself. Mutant: Even though Uric can heal his wounds fairly well, he is still a kid and has a fit body like one, so he can still be knocked out and feels pain and take some punches. Arch Enemy - Depending on what we get in the villain or hero department... Appearance -
BRIEF Bio - Uric Warren-Marie grew up in the Downtown slums of Nueva York. He was raised an only child by his mother and father working shit jobs and living off of next to nothing. Despite the poor upbringing and their little family was happy, until his dad started to sell drugs for some extra cash to help put Uric through school. Everything was fine, they even moved out of downtown and into Midtown. One day when Uric came home and his mother was tapped to a chair being beaten senseless by four random men. He put up a fight, but Uric soon met a similar fate and for hours before his father arrived he was tortured and beaten into unconsciousness.
When he woke, he was on the floor and is father was crying over his mothers dead body, Uric was only 15 and did not know how to deal with the situation but he knew he wanted revenge. He did the only thing he could think of, he joined the guys who killed his mother. It was when he was working for them that he discovered his mutation, and he started to learn to control it while he was biting his time waiting for the right moment to kill all 30 of this shitty gang. It would be 2 years until he finally had his moment and he took it. In one night he killed everyone with one touch and the only person he really had to fight was Ricky Flyn, a famous Hitman guarding the "boss". Uric only won because Flyn had no idea about his mutation and got to comfortable as they fought. When everything was said and done Uric did not go home and instead accepted the thoughts and emotions of Flyn and took up the Hitman gig. He became an assassin and has been one ever since, he lost track of his dad and only visits his mothers grave every so often. Notes -
Uric is the grandson of Rogue and inherited her mutation, even though I did not mention it much.
He has two last names.
Sample Post -
The room was dark, only a light flickering in the back ground. The room was ice cold, complements of thte Midtown air conditioning system. It was a simple two bed room apartment in one of the high rises of Midtown. Uric's targets where living here, three of them all mutants and each one owed money to some very bad people. The job was easy enough and went smoothly, no witnesses, no mess one bullet to the head each and no fuss. Now he sat in the recently vacant apartment waiting for his contact to verify the deaths in person and pay him.
Uric sat leaning in a chair taking shots of vodka and contemplating the lives of these guys, each did not look a year old than he was and each one seemed happy enough when he staked them out a couple of hours earlier. So how could some 20-something year old, soon to be back at their mothers houses, piss off so many people and get a price put on their heads. But who cared now anyways, their lives had been turned into currency and Uric had cashed in.
He sat up when he heard the door open and a man walk in with a cooler and a black bag. He did not say anything to the man and the man didn't say anything to him. Simply opened the cooler full of ice pulled out his tools and nodded. Uric got up and grabbed the bottle, he knew the money had been transferred, and as he walked out he could hear the cutting and crunching of bones and flesh, but all Uric cared about was moving on with the next job.
