Rated 18+; For Gore and Violence. Not an erotic RP. Though there may be romance with classy sexual tension and fade to black screens.



“So, I offer this medal of appreciation to Mrs. Angelica Harper, for her continue renewal in many of our historical buildings,” The Prime Minister of England announces on the podium. There is a roaring of applause from the crowd watching with enthusiasm. Angelica Harper steps to the podium with a medal around her neck. Though some lustful eyes will notice the metal is more or less laying across her ample breast.

“Thank you Prime Minister Oswen,” Angelica speaks into the microphone, her voice husky, deeper, though it hasn’t lost any sense of feminism, in fact many felt compelled to silence upon her first few words, “I greatly appreciate my efforts being acknowledged. However, there are more things I’d like to do for England and the greater area that is the United Kingdom. We have a crisis on our hands. A crisis the news sweeps under the rug and the people are paranoid of each other. We are English and the English have always thrived by uniting our strengths and differences, not tapering off from others like some unnamed countries do.”

There’s a slight chuckle from the crowd and small smile from Angelica on her face as she continues, “There’s individuals out there who have no place to stay or no place to call their home. And things are beginning. Strange things. Unexplained things that we cannot continue to cover up. Eventually someone will get hurt and it will hurt worse than any of the tragedies we have had to endure before. It’s why, with Mrs. Oswen permission I’d like to offer the city 742 and a half thousand pounds to buy the old firestation that’s getting no use in order to offer our New Breeds a place to stay for services to the city. I’d like to start an initiation that they act as a department of justice when our very own department of justice cannot deal with these events the New Breeds would be able to.”

There’s an odd silence that washes off the crowd, Prime Minister Oswen has turned pale all the color from her wrinkly skin has drained. Staring at the red haired Irish woman Angelica looks over at Oswen. No one has said anything and Mrs. Oswen hasn’t stepped forward. Angelica impatiently waits, but there continues to be an awkward silence. No one says anything, it’s like the world has been drained of noise at this point.

“Not convinced,” Angelica finally speaks, which snaps everyone out of their stun, she raises her hand, “If I have not convinced you then, I’d like to introduce you to a friend and a newfound business partner.”

Oswen looks nervous, her security step forward as a man with violet eyes appears from the shadows.

“Don’t worry, he’s only hear to speak, after all it is my day, isn’t it,” Angelica tells the crowd and Oswen at the same time.

Oswen nods her head and says, “Of course. I’ll allow it.”

The man steps forward towards the podium. No one is sure what to think. He wears a stern, stoic face, wooden and stiff it looks like he’s about to give off a stern lecturing to the crowd.

“Angelica presented this opportunity to me a few weeks ago,” he says, “My name is Viorel Fiachra. I am a New Breed. One of the many that are cast aside. I believe there is a fear that the New Breeds desire to prey upon those without powers. Though I assure you many seek acceptance. I have a small group of individuals behind me, who have no home. We have had to live on the edge in the countryside for a long time. This opportunity allows you to see us New Breeds as not separate from you, instead we are able to provide what you cannot.”
Man has not made a single twitch when speaking. Crowd just stares at him with fascination. He continues to stare ahead, as if looking at something in the distance. Though anyone observational will notice he’s looking at nothing in particular.

Some of the crowd claps. Someone clears their throat. Is the man going to do anything else? Say anything else. Angelica smiles acceptingly though at this Viorel.

Later that evening; headlines read

Angelica Harper Hijacks Ceremony

New Breeds Asking for Permission to Stay in the City, Some Say this Spells Disaster

New Breed Speaks at Ceremony


“I think that went well, they seemed accepting,” Viorel tells Angelica, ignoring the sensationalized headlines blinking on the television next to him.

Angelica raises a brow, while inhaling from her smoke and then exhaling.

“You could have smiled more,” Angelica tells him.

“I literally do not have the facial muscles to smile,” Viorel replies.

“We’ll just tape the corners of his mouth whenever he needs to do public speaking,” Lauren, a petite woman with brown hair says as she’s plugging information into a computer.

“I would not like the sensation of tape on my face though,” Viorel adds.

“At least this is the beginning of something,” Angelica retorts.



The RP


Seven years ago on this exact date, March 9th, 2010, started an initiation. An initiation today known as the London Hero Alliance, or LHA for short. In more recent industrial years more and more individuals born with unique abilities began to emerge. They were called New Breeds. Though there was never really any political view or political movement against or for the New Breeds. Many New Breeds chose to live in isolation, often due to an incident or fear of an incident occurring. This all changed with the actions pinned to one woman Angelica Beverly Harper. Angelica had been known as a wealthy individual in the England, London area for a long time. She was an architecture engineer, who turned into a restoration engineer over the years. Renewing old buildings to their previous states with modern safety in mind. During this time she discovered a group of individuals, not yet known as anything, guided by a man named Viorel who gave them a home in an old barn. Not satisfied with their living conditions, or the fact they are not recognized by an organization began her biggest restoral project yet. Getting the New Breeds more coverage.

On March 9th, 2010, during her ceremony upon receiving recognition for her restoral projects on buildings she made an announcement of New Breeds taking up residence in an old fire building no longer used by the City abandoned for the much newer more modern fire buildings around the city. This began the start of the London Hero Alliance.

As Angelica and Viorel put out a message that this would be a home for any New Breed. They would receive medical care, they would receive rights within the city itself. They would have a life known to them that would be better. Now on March 9th, 2017, nearly 20 individuals live in the fire station, under the guiding hand of Viorel, and some of the oldest members of the London Hero Alliance. Their duty to solve crimes the police otherwise cannot solve due to their threat level.

You are a member of LHA, whether you have been here for seven years or more or less, your duty is to solve mysterious crimes and stop the dark forces that prey upon the weak.



While this may not possibly be the most popular way of doing things, this RP will be utilizing a Tier System. There will be 10 Tiers in this RP that classify a New Breeds power level. These Tiers are what the system use to determine a threat level of New Breeds. The Max Tier any current player can be in this RP is Tier 5 for now. There may be opportunities to learn and gain new powers. *It should be noted that a New Breed possess one branch of power. So if you’re a Telepath don’t also be given them super strength. Powers should kind of fit a theme of the type of character you want. I am writing the tiers as a generalization of what kind of powers you will find in these tiers.

Tier 1: You’re practically human with something strange about you. Whether it being a savant skill. Or some kind of understanding the world in a way regular humans cannot.

Tier 2: You’re more than an average human being. Albeit you’re still weaker than many of the higher tier breeds. These kind of abilities encompass supernatural physical abilities usually. Something like Enhanced Strength or Enhanced Endurance. Though we’re not talking Hulk levels of these. These often encompass basic capabilities that make you slightly above average.

Tier 3: This is where you start getting into the weird. Your powers are more supernatural. You may possess a strength level further than those in the tier 2 branch. Things like being able to stop family size sedans. This is also where you start to see strong mental powers. Such as telepathy and telekinesis.

Tier 4: These individuals are often beyond human capabilities. They encompass more the weird, the wonderful. Stronger forms of telekinesis, telepathy, magic, etc. This is where the New Breeds stop being human and start being something beyond.

Tier 5: These are the unique. The weird. These abilities are often stronger and less common than their other counterparts. They encompass powers beyond the basic capabilities. Basically this is where things get out of the box from here. It should be noted that strength in this case means an increase in range or potency or capability of the individual. Not it’s literal strength, but general strength.

This is Where You Stop - Tier 5 is the Highest a Player Can Go for Now


Tier 6: A New Breed at Tier 6 is no longer classified as human. Their abilities are often not something that can be measured in the scopes determinability that Tier 5 can be classified. These abilities are often unique and are not easily measured as “telepathy” or “kinesis”. This is Tier 5 elevated not only in its general strength, but it’s literal strength.

Tier 7: Upgraded Tier 6 and Tier 5. This is a further enhancement of those abilities presented in those individuals.

Tier 8: Upgraded Tier 6, 7, and 5. Nothing of significance more efficiency, more potency, more strength, more mastery, and maybe a new ability is open up to their knowledge.

Tier 9: Upgraded Tier 5, 6, 7, and 8. All capabilities are known to you, less drawbacks, and less weaknesses. Some abilities may no longer have consequences they use to have. Master Level of ability.

Tier 10: Demigod level of power. This is where you’ll find individuals who have cosmic abilities, abilities that affect the future, past and present. These are abilities with near finite regeneration levels or the ability to circumvent death with little consequence. That doesn’t mean invulnerable though and there are still laws and rules that bind these individuals to mortality as others. Even those at this level are not invincible to damage and defeat.

This world does have some laws and rules to the abilities. There will be no omnipotent abilities, no absolute powers, and there is no true immortality. Also an individual cannot infinitely recover from harm over and over and over again. While consequences may be limited in some individuals, even Tier 10 can be killed even if their abilities seemingly have no consequences, they are simply limited in how they affect an individual.

Character Info

Name: Jack Valent

Age: 26

Alias: Edgelord, or sometimes The Edgelord

Tier: 3

Years Spent in SYNBAD: 2

Appearance:


Jack is somebody you could easily describe as "handsome", what with his sharp jawline and well-groomed dirty blond hair, both atop his head and on his face. Piercing blue eyes and a muscular frame about 180cm high complete the image, further assisted by a soothing voice with a very slight Irish accent to it and simple shirt-and-trouser getups of various colours that emphasize his physique, usually unintentionally. The simple clothing is important for him, as in a pinch...



...he can strip himself down to his underpants and produce blades covering his entire body. The above image is not precisely indicative of how he looks in this state, but it is a decent enough representation; typically, he will also hide his face with these blades, masking his identity (for what it's worth, anyway) and protecting his head from injury.

Personality: Despite his superhero name and harsh backstory, Jack is a surprisingly mellow individual, his attitude bordering on irreverent, even tangential to a situation at times, a fact that might make him seem quite odd if he weren't so calm otherwise. Though he certainly faces both internal and external moral conundrums as to the nature of his abilities, he tends to approach them and other situations with a "well, it happens" mindset, shrugging off trauma with relative ease and not typically looking back at his past too much.
This does not, of course, imply that he never feels negative emotion - for instance, deliberate and spiteful reminders of his past or other similar tragedies will lead him to grow very quiet, and he has a tendency to try and help people whenever he can, to the extent that he'll almost always assist somebody in trouble to the best of his ability unless it's physically impossible for him to reach them.
Something worth noting is that despite his tendency to offer himself as a source of advice and friendliness to others, he has a lot of trouble actually forming close bonds with people, be they platonic or romantic, and tends to come up with reasons internally not to pursue such bonds further than he already has. Completely coincidentally, Jack is bisexual, which has led to him having a bit of attraction towards a number of his teammates, though he tends to hide it behind his usual mellow persona. In particular, cute boys like Luka and Myles vex him greatly; he reminds himself regularly that Myles is straight and also very reptilian, and that Luka being telepathically bonded to Killer Queen basically means any physical interaction between them would indirectly affect a cat too, even if it is fully sapient.

Skills: Swordsmanship - Naturally, Jack's power encourages him to utilise his natural weapons to their fullest extent, which generally means practicing in and studying swordsmanship on the regular. More particularly, his practice includes work in various styles, ranging from historical European martial arts to kenjutsu, giving him a wide, albeit somewhat shallow, range of expertise, combined with an unusually deep pool of knowledge about them.
Fisticuffs - Jack has also taken up a limited degree of practice and study in nominally unarmed martial arts, most prominently boxing and streetfighting, though his theoretical knowledge again far surpasses his practical skill. On the one hand, he has the strength to do reasonably well in these combat styles even with relatively little skill; and on the other hand, one gains an edge in such things when one can literally produce an edge from themselves at any time they desire.
Weightlifting, and lifting in general - It's been suggested to Jack recently that he take up weightlifting to further improve his already-substantial strength. To that end, he's managed to figure out the best routines for doing so, and in the process further taught himself how to lift more conventional objects properly too, making him a good choice for hauling heavy items around. It helps that he can also recover more rapidly from any injuries he deals himself unintentionally, too.
Analysis - Jack is not traditionally intelligent, at least beyond normal; as far as logical thought goes, he is quite average indeed. He is, however, able to chug through data like a machine, and is perfectly happy to read through and process long lists for hours on end, which perhaps explains why he is able to retain so much theoretical information on various topics.
Cooking - Jack regularly maintains that one isn't really a proper adult unless they can cook their own meals, something he's had to do since a young age. He'd call himself decent, compared to somebody like Gordon Ramsey; most others would say he's far better at it than he gives himself credit for.

Hobbies: Combat training, exercise, reading, supporting his friends and allies.

Combat Info

Weapons: Nothing, aside from the blades he can grow out of his body.

Equipment: Again, nothing, aside from the blades he can grow out of his body. Sometimes he breaks them off and throws them at people, but he absolutely prefers melee combat.

Fighting Style: You might expect somebody whose body can produce infinite swords to be quite unrefined when it comes to combat. As it happens, flailing wildly with a bunch of swords is rather unlikely to significantly hinder anybody; thus, he's actually taken a sensible approach and made time to train his ability to fight with his blades like actual weapons. Moreover, this training has covered many different styles of swordsmanship and unarmed combat, making his combat style a little unpredictable - albeit rather simplistic, once one realises what he's doing. A jack of all trades does not a master make.

Strength: Jack's physical strength is, at present, within human limits - he can match up with highly-trained combatants fairly readily without any particular strength training of his own, but his strength is definitely below peak human levels at the moment. That does not suggest he can't train that strength to beyond human limits, of course, merely that his current level of strength requires no particular extra effort to maintain.

Endurance: In terms of actual damage resistance, Jack is no more resilient than any regular human. However, the unique manner in which he uses his power affords him the equivalent of a suit of armour whenever he requires it, not to mention barriers and blades to block attacks with as needed. Additionally, damage he does take heals far faster than an equivalent wound in a normal human, letting him survive otherwise mortal wounds so long as they don't kill him within perhaps half a minute or so; this regeneration also applies to microinjuries such as muscle tears whilst working out or running, effectively granting him a great deal more stamina than the vast majority of humans could ever hope to possess.

Willpower: Jack's nigh-inhuman mental fortitude isn't based so much in his ability to weather horrible circumstances, as it is in disregarding them entirely. He has a tendency to bear witness to events that would traumatise others and say "aw, that sucks", as if he'd dropped a piece of food on the ground rather than, for example, seen somebody get brutally slaughtered by a monster that should not be. He's theorised that he may be a bit of a psychopath, or at least have some condition associated with a malformed trauma response, as he has seen a lot of people die in his time and has barely been affected by them. He certainly misses those he is close to when they're gone, of course, but to some extent, they are essentially replacable in his mind.

Speed: Jack's enhanced strength does offer a bit of extra travel speed simply because his leg muscles can push him harder, but generally, that is counteracted in combat by the fact that he is covering himself in metal. Whilst not especially less hindered than any medieval knight would be by an extra seventy or so kilograms of weight spread across his body, he's generally only as fast as a regular human in most aspects.

Reaction Speed: One does not train in a wide variety of weapon-based martial arts without becoming quite quick to react. In a fight, Jack is able to respond to most mundane attacks at least adequately, though rapid projectiles such as bullets and even low-level speedsters are generally still well beyond him; in other words, his reflexes match those of a regular human fighter of perhaps above average skill.

Ability Info

Name of Ability: Universe of Endless Blades

Class: Physical - Generation

Character Theme: Jack tends to rush towards a battle almost recklessly, his body seemingly composed entirely of swords of bone or metal, deflecting bullets and fists alike, with his weaponised frame reforming even as it takes damage. Yet despite this eagerness, he is nothing if not courteous in a fight, dueling his foes in a manner that to the public eye is artful, even stylish, especially compared to how he'd be expected to combat them. He is no mere berserker, but a true swordsman.

Ability Capabilities: Jack's primary power is to generate blades out of his body, at any point and at any angle, to a seemingly limitless extent. The material of these blades can be composed of just about any solid substance, from bone to foam to rubber to steel, and though their size varies, his power has a surprising degree of versatility to it. His secondary powerset, supporting his main ability, combines additional strength somewhat below peak human with low-level regeneration enough to greatly enhance his endurance and stall out mortal wounds to render them as merely briefly-debilitating injuries.

Qualities of Ability: The most obvious use of his powers is to create blades to fight with, out of materials as soft as foam or as hard as titanium or even harder, all typically sharp enough to at least have a good chance of cutting into even very hard defenses with his high strength to back it up. What people often don't realise about a thick piece of metal with an edge is that it also has a flat, one that can block or deflect attacks; consequently, Jack regularly uses his power to generate what amounts to a full suit of armour for himself, one which rapidly restores itself if damaged and has a tendency to seriously injure anyone who tries to pull it away. In a pinch, he can even turn parts of this armour into different materials, such as rubber to absorb the force of an impending impact with a wall, foam to strike people without seriously hurting them, or a mixture of substances to ensure their effects overlap one another.

Strengths of Ability: Evidently, Jack is never without either a weapon or protection, and high quality options at that. If he needs a new weapon, he can generate it almost immediately; if one of his weapons breaks, he can just draw it back into himself and push out a new one; he can outlast most opponents in terms of sheer stamina; and if all else fails and he takes a deep injury to his flesh, he'll likely be back to normal within a few minutes if he isn't finished off properly. All in all, he is almost scarily relentless to fight against.

Weaknesses of Ability: Unfortunately, the ability to generate as many swords as one could ever need does not especially encourage ranged combat - though Jack can generate fairly large blades, the best this does is extend the reach of his attacks, and when generating a lot of blades, they add weight to his person and can somewhat encumber him, especially if they aren't arranged properly and clash with one another at the joints. Additionally, he is technically generating the blades just beneath his skin, then forcing them through it, a process that isn't exactly harmless or painless. Even if the wounds heal around the blades relatively quickly, there is a brief moment of blood loss as a result; thus, forcing him to recover and regenerate his blades repeatedly can overwhelm him, either due to losing too much blood too quickly to regenerate it, or just due to sheer pain-induced shock.

Limitations of Ability: His blades are often very sharp, and can be highly dangerous depending on the material they are made of. However, they do have to be made out of solid and, most importantly, relatively simple materials that he knows of - titanium, steel, bone, and even radioactive substances like uranium are perfectly reasonable, but he can't produce anything that requires magic or some form of ultra-advanced science to produce, though mundane compounds and alloys are perfectly plausible. Equally, however, any given blade cannot be made of multiple different substances - as stated, a single compound is reasonable, but the substance in question must be uniform, so he can't produce steel blades with wooden handles, for example.
His regeneration also has a limited rate to itself, and cannot restore lost pieces from nothing - he could likely heal from having an artery severed or even being stabbed through the heart, but not from having his heart torn out or his head torn off entirely, and whether or not he survived having an arm ripped off, he would lose that arm permanently. Finally, whilst perhaps something that's easy to overlook for how obvious it is, he specifically produces blades, and as such they must always have at least one sharp edge, whether or not that edge is actually able to cut based on the substance it is made of.

Image and Public Perception

Biography:



Quote: "I mean, okay, sometimes life sucks, but what about it? It's mostly not bad, whether you're a human or a New Breed, you just have to find those good parts. Besides, superpowers are cool."

Reputation: One would not be wrong to expect a man who generates swords to kill people, and Jack certainly isn't one to shy away from the act if it's necessary. If. A life taken is not so easily given back, something he knows all too well, and he makes absolutely sure to exercise caution in this regard - mere petty theft isn't worth slaying a man over; threatening the life of an innocent, on the other hand, surely is. Consequently, he's developed a reputation as somewhat chivalrous, but a bit dark at times, and certainly not the sort of hero who lets mass-murderers escape from prison time and time again.

Age:
22

Alias:
Copycat

Tier:
Tier 1

Year Spent in SYNBAD:
2 Years

Appearance:


Straight jet black hair fell just below her shoulders, brushing up against the lightly tanned skin of her cheeks. Her delicate face framed by a pair of wire-rimmed glasses sitting at the bridge of her nose, that could not hide her almond-shaped chestnut colored eyes which seemed to give off a doe-like expression. A petite frame of 5’3 and a 120 pounds makes her appear fragile at first glance to most but if one wear to look closer they would see the lean muscle of her arms and toned legs.

She can mostly be found in sweaters or anything that is loose fitting that gives her a comfy feel. She does not mind showing a bit of skin but is usually reserved for tank tops and off the shoulder shirts. Jeans and leggings will always be her first choice but every now and then you could be blessed with seeing her in a dress though for her they are usually saved for special occasions.

Super Appearance:


Personality:
Nilin is the kind of person that always seems to be there when you need someone to lend you an ear or a shoulder to cry on. She is very loyal and protective of her friends and those she views as her makeshift family. She is soft-spoken and caring to those around her which would make most think she is not cut out to be a fighter but that image of her will change rather quickly if you get on her bad side. She is known for having a sharp tongue and will cut you down to size flawlessly if you are deserving of it.

Nilin can seem shy or nervous with crowds sometimes but she has her reasons for this. If you knew her on a personal level then you would find that she is fearless and is willingly spontaneous on the fly. She is happy to give her input freely and always open to change, rolling with the punches of life. She is very aware that she could be hurt and is very weak compared to most but she will not deny what she is and wants to make a difference.

Skills:
- Cooking/Baking - She grew up having to mostly care for herself and sometimes others which means cooking was a necessity to survive but she fell in love with the freedom. The creativity in trying something new even if the outcome came up in failure then maybe she could change something to make it better. It was like a stress relief that she could share with others to make them smile, have hope for a better day, or an easy way to say thank you. It still feels strange to have Gemina cook for the group and sometimes she still sneaks up out of bed early just to cook her own meals, not because she isn't grateful but the feeling of cooking and baking brings her joy. She can often be found in the kitchen while Gemina is cooking whether it is to help or give the woman some company. She wouldn't say she is anywhere close to a five-star chef of some fancy restaurant but she is still a wonderful cook if given the chance to try something she makes. She is not always confident in her skills.

- Painting - Painting is like a happy memory that she wishes to visit often. Each brush stroke reminder her of her mother's teachings and the fun times they shared together. She had shown her the passion for painting and a glimpse of the world through her eyes, that even if someone didn't understand a painting at first glance that the emotions you felt could still be conveyed. You could make the world a possibility for those that had never seen what you have or you could capture a thought of someone else by their face. You can be wild with just color and some random luck with say squirt guns filled with paint or a simple balloon. It is a spontaneous passion or it can let her place her emotions somewhere when she isn't sure where else to put them. It also is a way to keep her own memories alive when she thinks she might forget them.

- Singing - Her voice is mellifluous and smooth, drawing people in to want to hear more. She is not one to do so in front of others and can usually be found singing if she is in the shower or if something is stuck in her head while painting. Both are places she usually would think of as being alone or unheard. Humming is usually a different story as she can be found doing so during cooking or even cleaning which makes most beg to actually hear what her vocals could do.

- Sewing - Nilin has always been able to do small patch ups or hem an outfit in the past but in the last two years, she has dug into this skill to help it flourish as she had a new found inspiration. The first year in the group she worked hard to make her outfit piece by piece, trying to not only to improve her skills but to get it to match her vision. After everything was completed to perfection with her project, she started working on making outfits for Gemina so she could have something new and exciting without having to think about new fashion. She was happy to fix anything that she needed, taking great care with the clothing and even the clothing of the Knights with the permission of Viorel. She enjoys giving them the styles they prefer so they don't have to give up everything with the changing of time.

Hobbies:
- Camping - Nilin has spent many a time in the outdoors and finds it completely peaceful. A lot of people complain about dirt and sleeping on the hard ground but that is all part of the charm for her. She loves sitting around a fire to warm up and chat about anything that comes to mind. To look up at the stars and see all of them glowing like you would never be able to in the city. It brings people closer and makes you have to find more interesting ways to be entertained instead of just looking at a screen from who knows what electronic. It makes you appreciate the beauty around you that you may not be able to find much of anymore.

- Reading - She has always been fond of fantasy, mysteries and romance books. She will always have a few practical books such as cooking, art, and other such items but most of her bookshelves are filled with her favorite genres. It is not often that you don't find her with at least one book in her bag or reading at a table with a nice cup of tea or coffee.

- Gardening - She is not very good at gardening yet and is trying to learn by growing some produce and herbs for the house. She has been reading up on how to take care of each plant and has been pretty successful so far. Her fingers are crossed that she continues to do well and that maybe some of the others might enjoy it as well or wish to help grow more. If they didn't have to go shopping as much and could save a bit then it would be helpful.

- Video Games - She has a passion for many games from old to the new ones of today. She isn't completely picky on what to play but she enjoys a good plot and seems to be particularly good as shooting type games. She also seems to enjoy games that have a puzzle to figure out and that proves a challenge. It is more fun for her to have others to play against or with depending on the game. Heck, she doesn't even mind switch off on one player games after each death so she can have someone else's company.



Weapons:
- Metal Claws - While making her suit, she was semi-inspired by the Knights armor and made a metal shoulder armor to protect that side and use more for blocking if need be. It didn't seem complete with just the shoulder as a defense so she continued down the arm to make some nice moveable metal claws on one hand of her suit. This adds a little kick to her punches or she can use the claws which will give them a good scratch and do worse depending on where she can land a hit.

- Throwing Daggers - She can't do anything crazy like hitting a fly square on but she still has a pretty amazing aim. She could probably chuck a dagger at you and pin you to the wall without actually hitting you. It gets a little harder with a moving target so she is not 100% accurate and can, of course, miss what she is trying to hit. If the person is behind a box then there is nothing a dagger would do but out in the open, maybe she could hit their hand and make them drop a weapon or focus on the pain and attack.

- Nunchucks - In close quarter battles, she can be extremely lethal with this weapon. She knows where to hit that is painful, where to knock you out or worse. If you are not skilled in this weapon, you could easily hurt yourself instead of your opponent but this is not something she is worried about anymore. When training in karate, they were sure to teach you to be effective in this skill. She tucks this weapon in a special loop that is on the back of her belt.

- Fists - She thought she was a normal human most of her younger years which mean this was the style of weapon she was most use too. The daggers are her closest long range weapon and even that isn't too long of a distance. It might surprise most to how much defense and attack she can do with just her hands but sadly, she is more effective with normal humans unless someone is near her to lend some powers her way.

Equipment:
Most equipment belts are the equivalent to a fanny pack and while she doesn’t care too much about image, she has limits. Usually, she uses throwing daggers which are easy to place in her suit in various locations and also her nunchucks are tucked in a single loop in the back of her belt.

Fighting Style:
- Nunchaku - Combines offensive and defensive moves, so both locks and strikes. She usually wields it with one hand, but it can also be paired with other weapons if she chooses. Nilin whirls it around, using its hardened handles for blunt force, as well as wrapping its chain around an attacking weapon to immobilize or disarm an opponent. Nunchaku training has increased her hand speed, improve posture, self-restraint and conditioned her hands.

- Tai Chi Chuan While most think of this for medical benefits such as stress relief and doing something akin to yoga, it is also a slowed down graceful form of actual combat. Speed up the existing motions learned and they have a very real application for each move. Tai Chi Chuan's emphasis on the technique of yielding and attacking at the same time means there should be defensive and offensive intention in each movement so that the counterstrike will be quicker and will seize the opponent's weak area before they can recover. This combination involves every part of the body; thus she trained her whole body to be sensitive, nimble and flexible. This is different from most martial arts styles where offensive and defensive techniques occur separately.

- Gymnastics - Nilin uses this to flip away from enemies and to be able to jump over objects with more ease. It has helped train her upper body to be able to hold her body weight if she would need to be more stealthy. She can't know for sure but in her opinion, she has displayed more physical agility and coordination with the help of gymnastics.

Strength:
She is of average human strength perhaps slightly more but not to a New Breed standard. The only reason she says a bit more is that she has trained her body and kept herself in good shape. She has learned to use other peoples strengths against them in battle because she is still weak.

Endurance:
She is of average human endurance and knows the few tricks like many to keep running longer but eventually, she will tire out just like anyone else. It doesn't make her the best in a chase when she is on her own. It will be a matter of thinking ahead such as shortcuts.

Willpower:
This is probably the only instance where she is far beyond human limits. She will suffer if need be so that she can help someone else. In the face of danger and in tough times, she will still press on and try her best even when the situation is dim and she is close to that of a normal human. She will try to figure out the best solution to make a situation better or find a time to escape if possible.

Speed:
She is of normal speed in compared to humans. She isn't a slow runner by any means but she won't be in the Olympics or anything any time soon.

Reaction Speed:
Due to her training, she has great reaction speed and can often be found easily catching something in mid-air that is falling or blocking a hand that is coming at her. The way her attacks and skills work she has to be quick or it could mean trouble for her.



Name of Ability:
Telepathic Synchronization

Class:
Psychic

Character Theme:
It feels confusing to feel so ordinary when you are alone and then around others so extraordinary to suddenly feel completely different at the moment you are by their side. She could choose to walk away but then she would still know deep down that she was different with every brush of them walking by, feeling it grate against her senses and trying to ignore it or get away from the other person as soon as possible before she linked to them without control. Her brain waves syncing with their so that their powers would also become her own. It is so easy to block out what you are used to. It is like hearing a high pitched noise suddenly, at first, it is disorienting and you just want to cover your ears to make it stop but if you just wait long enough, you can adjust and maybe even tune out the sound completely with enough practice.

Ability Capabilities:
Mimicry, by synchronizing her brain waves with those around her, she can mimic their abilities and her body adjusts to contain them.

Qualities of Ability:
- Brain Wave Signature - Nilin can automatically sense a New Breed as her powers try to synchronize with the individual without her control. It is one of the reasons she does not like crowds and will try to avoid interviews as much as possible because she is not sure what the outcome will be should a New Breed be around. New powers are just that, completely new and uncontrollable to her. If she is around a certain signature long enough, she can learn to ignore the brainwave signatures around her but this takes at least a month or more to do. With focus and training, she will be able to control when she synchronizes or not. It does come in handy to know who is who without looking.

- Telepathic Mimicry - Nilin syncronizes her brain waves with that of another via a telepathic link and once they are connected, she mimics the powers they possess and they become her own. It isn't to say that she can perfectly control this power the first time as it is like having a new power spring up that you don't know the limits too. She could easy wear herself out or overdo it without realizing. If she trains and works at the powers, then she could be more fluent at it eventually.

- Physical Reconstruction - On a physical level, Nilin's body adjusts and changes so she can house the powers she receives. You can't spit acid without your body being ready for such an action after all. This is not really a pleasant experience but one she must endure if she wants to use someone else's powers. It would be like growing suddenly and causes aching if not worse depending on the changes that must be made.

Strengths of Ability:
- Original Strength - When Nilin copies the powers of another, she gains all of the strengths they have when using their powers.

- Tier Boost - Her power level boosts to the same tier as the person she is copying and might be a little than the original if she is still trying to learn the power.

- Sensing - Due to her syncronizing with brain waves, she can sense who is near her if she remembers what the person's brain wave feels like or looks like. It helps her see in a crowd and be able to tell you who is a New Breed.

Weaknesses of Ability:
- Original Weakness - While she gains all the strengths of the power she is using, she also takes all the weaknesses of that power as well. There is no picking or choosing what to copy as it is an all package deal.

- Mental Blocks - Her powers will not work on someone who can shield their minds or block her from their thoughts. If she can't synchronize then she cannot mimic their powers. This makes her weak against people with mental capabilities.

- Reconstruction - Physical Reconstruction can be extremely painful in some cases and she has to work through the pain. It is complete willpower that helps her through this. It helps having the powers linked before going into battle but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. It can make her a little weaker though if the pain is too much and less able to do certain moves.

- Alone - If Nilin does not have another New Breed around her then she is by all definition, completely human. Yes, she is trained but even that will only get her so far. She has to tag team with someone else which means she is very vulnerable without them. If she slips up and gets too far away then this could be a dangerous outcome for her.

Limitations of Ability:
- Range - Nilin has to stay within a certain range of the person she is linked to or she will lose all the powers that she is copying. This range can get a little broader with trying but there will always be a limit she cannot pass.

- Multiple Mimicry - She cannot copy the powers of more than one person at once. If she needed another power, she would have to desynchronize with the person she was linked to so she could synchronize with another. This all takes a good amount of time to do.

- Powered Items - She cannot copy the powers of someone that has gained their powers from an item. If they do not have natural powers or powers that were permanatly granted then she cannot copy them. She needs a mental connection and an item does not make that possible.

- Control - She does not have perfect control of powers gained. She actually has to work hard and train to get better at the powers so that she can understand how they work and what to avoid doing. She actually has to lean on the other person to advise her.



Biograph:







Quote:
I love the smell of possiblity in the morning.

Reputation:
She has a very split reaction from the community.

Half think that she is too fragile and sweet to be hanging around such dangerous situations. That with her only copying powers that she is more like a mascot or that they should let other more normal people in the group because why not? Is she mostly human and barely different, right?

While the other half are excited to see someone who has the same powers as the others. It is like taking your favorite New Breed hero or idol and timing them by two. It is interesting to see what someone else would do with the powers of someone else.

Name: Morag Muir

Age: 23

Alias: Foundry (Though before she picked this, the name 'Snack Attack' was dangerously close to becoming stuck)

Tier: 3

Years Spent in LHA: 3

Appearance:

raikoart.deviantart.com/art/Tess-7233…

An athletic young woman in peak physical fitness, thanks to her abilities. She tends to dress in 'New Breed' fashion, as when you're doing Association work it's something of a uniform. Born in Scotland, though moved to London young, and still has a slight accent.

She is a little above average height at 5'8 and is unusually heavy at around 200lbs, as her enhanced muscles and bones are more dense than a human's.

Personality:
Morag is a mixture of playful and professional. In her downtime, she's outgoing and keen to hang out with the other SYNBAD members, taking them out to clubs and pubs or just lazing around the old fire house. She is active in the Newbreed community, and friends with plenty of unusual people outside the SYNBAD crew. When new experiences present themselves, Morag is keen to try them.

She doesn't hide much of herself, and trades insults and teases with friends. No real harm is meant, and she expects to get as good as she gives.

On missions, she tries her best to follow the rules, vague as they are for SYNBAD. Minimise property damage, civilians protected, targets captured alive etc.

Skills: Before SYNBAD Morag was at university studying criminology. She has a good working knowledge of forensics and basic investigation skills for when a mission needs more than just a fighter. She doesn't have access to a full crime lab, but does make sure SYNBAD has enough to cast footprints, analyse fingerprints and identify unusual substances.j

Morag is clued on on local Newbreed culture, from popular hangouts to shops that specialise in the unusual and exotic outfits they tend to wear. Criminals more severe than drug dealers tend to run in their own circles, so it's not much help IDing Newbreed Villains, but if you want an unusual skill, chances are good Morag will know someone who knows someone.

Morag doesn't need to train her muscles, but she does spend time training her muscle memory, running, jumping, flipping and other athletic or acrobatic skills.

Hobbies:

Morag spends a lot of free time reading, usually periodicals to keep up with crime-fighting techniques, the newspapers, or mystery novels.

She also spends time training with the other SYNBAD members. She enjoys spending time with the other New Breeds, and wants to see SYNBAD succeed and be used as a model elsewhere. She may even want to lead a team herself, though not for some time.

A couple of nights a week, Morag will hit the dance clubs. She can't get drunk, but spending some time in a dark room with loud music and lots of other people is good for euphoria. She especially likes alternative fashion clubs, or the occasional fetish night.

Being a physically enhanced New Breed meant that Morag rarely got to play sports with other kids growing up. She was so far out of their league it wasn't fun, and could even be dangerous. Instead, she played a lot of card games and plays poker with other SYNBAD members.

Morag makes the most out of her powers by sampling unusual food from around the world. Wasabi Kit Kats, chocolate covered ants, surstrommung, nothing is too unusual. This even applies to things that only Morag can class as food. She's eaten rocks from the grand canyon, deep sea coral, crude oil fresh from the North Sea... some day, she'd like to try a moon rock.

Finally, Morag follows New Breed fashion, which trends towards the unusual. As well as her regular costume, she has a few other exotic pieces like leather jackets, latex skirts, some decorative masks and a thing she doesn't remember buying and thinks is a hairpiece but hasn't worked it out yet.



Weapons: Morag carries a pistol, and is more accurate with it than most humans could hope to be. She prefers to actually fight with her fists, using the gun only for warning shots or critical situations. It has the extra effect of making her look dangerous in a confrontation, which can intimidate an enemy.

Equipment: Morag typically carries a CSI kit, first aid kit and a selection of high-energy snacks (Batteries are especially useful) along with her everyday gear.

Fighting Style: Morag has taken up martial arts training since joining SYNBAD, learning from the other members or any teachers that get brought in. This has resulted in her fighting with a brawling mixture of moves that focus on kicks and punches. It's inelegant, but when used with enhanced speed and strength can be very effective.

Strength: Morag's abilities are enhanced by her powers. She is strong enough to push a parked care, and can crack concrete with a kick. Against people without enhanced defences, she pulls her blows to avoid killing them. She can shrug off a mundane punch and block weapons like clubs and crowbars. A bullet or a strong weapon hit in the right place will still mess her up.

Endurance: As long as Morag can keep eating high-energy substances, her stamina is essentially limitless. Even without fuel, she can keep exerting herself for far longer than a human. Morag also heals quickly, a deep cut gone within an hour and broken bones fixed after a night in bed. She hasn't needed to regrow anything, but in theory could. Healing makes Morag especially hungry, though for substance rather than energy.

Willpower: Morag's mind is the most human thing about her. She is determined, and has had more exposure to psychics than most thanks to being in SYNBAD, but is still on par with a regular person in this aspect. One exception is that a lifetime of medicine having no effect on her means that Morag has learned to handle pain from injuries, and is grateful not to be allergic to anything.

Speed: Another area in which Morag excels thanks to her powers. Not only does she have the muscle power to moe quickly and the stamina to keep it up, she also has the precision and reaction to avoid stumbling, quickly change directions and move faster on foot than any human.

Reaction Speed: Morag can move quickly, and has the reflexes to do so efficiently. She's only as clumsy as she wants to be, and reacts quickly to the unexpected. Her intellect is still at a human level, so she may not react correctly. She isn't quite fast enough to dodge bullets, but if she can see the weapon, she can move away from where it's pointing fairly easily.



Name of Ability: Gourmet

Class:
Physical

Character Theme:
Eating anything to power an enhanced body

Ability Capabilities:

Harder, better, faster, stronger; as the song goes. What Morag doesn't get to do that a lot of other Newbreeds manage is ignore the laws of thermodynamics. When she wall-kicks her way to the top of a tall building or tears the roof of a burning car, that energy has to come from somewhere.

Morag's superpowered body drains a lot of calories and runs a lot faster than a human's. A day without eating would be the equivalent of a week's starvation for a human. She is capable of metabolising anything she puts in her body, so meals are easy to come by and often consist of minerals, chemicals and other substances harmful to humans.

Qualities of Ability:
Morag can metabolise anything. If she eats, breathes, injects or otherwise takes it into her body it is quickly and safely broken down to fuel her and her powers. Some things have more energy than others, so she can still become exhausted by extended activity, but consuming something rich in energy quickly refreshes her. She is capable of breathing underwater, enduring vacuum by snacking, and breaking down large foreign bodies such as bullets to heal without a scar.

Morag is completely immune to poisons of all kinds, as well as drugs and medicine. While her enhanced body doesn't get sick, it also means she cannot become drunk, use painkillers or otherwise experience helpful effects of eating.

Most of what Morag eats goes towards replenishing her energy, letting her go all out for extended periods, which is often misinterpreted as a 'Popeye's spinach' effect.

Morag's mouth is much stronger than the rest of her. She can bite through a reinforced rod she struggled to bend with her hands and comfortably drink acids that would have burned her skin. The same applies to compounds injected, breathed or put inside her in any way. Injecting a superheated liquid is only uncomfortable for the needleprick. The explanation for this is currently classified as 'magic' as tests haven't discovered anything abnormal in her saliva etc.

Quirks:
Morag enjoys the taste of things that would leave a human gagging. She'll drink bleach for fun. She also isn't nauseated by bad smells, or stung by poisonous plants, as the venom is processed before it can become uncomfortable.

Processing things under her skin means that Morag cannot get a tattoo, and has to wear clip-on earrings. The regular kind have their pins absorbed, and then the hole heals over.

Morag can keep eating to avoid physical fatigue, but eventually has to sleep to avoid mental strain.

Morag's powers manifested when she was a baby, and would leave bite marks in her crib. Her enhanced physical attributes have also been slowly increasing, from being an exceptionally athletic child through a mildly superhuman tween, to reach her current level. She is still growing at a slow and steady rate, and will likely be exceptionally long-lived, as much as anything about a New Breed power can be predicted.

Weaknesses:
Currently Morag's power doesn't do much other than making her stronger, faster etc. and other than her expanded diet, doesn't let her do anything that couldn't be done by a human with the right tool. Compared to psychics, shapeshifters and energy manipulators, she's somewhat limited in how to approach things.

In addition, she needs to eat more often and in larger quantities than other people. If prevented from eating for a while, she will show signs of starvation and be incredibly weak.

The future:
As a young woman, Morag has only just finished physically growing. Now that she won't be getting any taller, her development might start branching out.
As well as continuing to grow stronger, tougher etc. Morag has the potential to develop more abilities based on her diet, such as turning into materials she eats, performing chemistry inside herself to breathe fire or poison gas, or using taste to perform analysis.



Biograph:



Before SYNBAD Morag got a minor mention in a local newspaper for having a part-time job at a dump, eating non-recyclable waste. It still shows up if you google her.

Morag's first job with SYNBAD to make the news was a 'silly season' headline in which she foiled a villainous bomber's scheme by eating the explosives. To her dismay, this was all the paper focused on and not her investigative work tracking him down, or even her soundbites about being a part of SYNBAD. To make things worse, it was before she had picked a codename, and the journalists took this as an opportunity to get creative. The name 'Snack Attack' still follows her around, despite being officially 'Foundry'.

One thing Morag brought to LHA when she moved in was her childhood stuffed animal. Kevlar Kevin is a stuffed bear made of kevlar, and stuffed with ball bearings. It was specially ordered by her parents, and was one of the few toys Morag couldn't accidentally destroy or eat with her powers at the time.

From a gossip magazine: Star Spotters! Sharon from Peckham sent in this pic of local heroine Foundry out for a snack attack with a smoking stranger! Is London's caped crimebuster club recruiting, or is this the start of a romantic relationship? (Pictured is Morag at a Priceo Coffee with another Newbreed made of smoke. The article ended up killing their fledgling romance, as the smoke-girl was not prepared for the increased scrutiny)

Quote: "It's not that I don't appreciate the attention, but I searched the site for clues, analysed explosive residue and tracked down the bomber's hideout. And all they printed was about me eating the bomb."

"Forget the powers, I'm from Scotland. Of course I can handle a vindaloo."

Reputation: Morag wants to be seen as a professional hero who can do proper police work as well as superheroics. However, she's having trouble shaking a reputation for being just a bruiser who eats anything.

Theme Song: Morag would answer Maximo Park - Our Velocity or The Automatic - Monster. Other people might answer differently...
Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster is a good fit too.

Age: 20

Alias: The Summoner

Tier: Tier 5

Years Spent in LHA: 10

Appearance:


Jensen definitely looks normal - and the longer you look at him, the more you think that maybe he shouldn't be part of this group. Nothing about him seems off - even his general aura isn't too serious. He has a mop of sandy brown hair on top of his head and his birght azure eyes compliment this well. He has a body type which can be described as athletic, but isn't anything too impressive when you place him with other athletes. Like his fellow athletes, however, he has mildly tanned skin. He also stands at a height of 6'2".

He is typically found in different clothing. Honestly, he cycles through a lot of fashion trends or sometimes he doesn't follow it. From jackets and jeans to muscle shirts and cargo pants, he can switch between it. He's in the season yesterday, he's out of it today - that's just how it is since he doesn't particularly care what he puts on. Oftentimes when he goes out to buy clothing, he gets help from some of his friends - both normal and New Breeds - so he takes their suggestions to heart and thus this kind of thing happens.

Underneath his clothing is a variety of tattoos. His right arm is covered in a sleeve of black inked tattooos - creating intricate designs that only he can understand. It extends all the way onto his chest. These tattoos are linked to his actual magical ability as they appear whenever he learns how to summon another creature. They glow bright blue whenever he activates that certain summon. His costume is made to show these tattoos off so he has a sleeveless hoodie over some casual clothing. He has a half mask that only covers the top of his head - showing only his mouth.

As expected from someone of his age and physique, he has a rather low but silvery voice with a cheerful tone most of the time. Some of his friends tease him that his voice is enough to make anyone's heart flutter a little bit.

Personality: Jensen has been the popular kid throughout his school because of his athletic ability, moderately good looks, and kind persaonlity. He has a good heart and is pretty approachable despite the tattoos that have been appearing on his skin ever since he was a kid. He's the type of kid who doesn't break the rules in school and rarely talks badly of anyone. It's why he's remembered as a goody two shoes in his school - which completely disregards the fact that he has weird tattoos on him and thus his physical appearance isn't quite remembered. But then again, he had to wear long sleeved shirts all the time when he was in school because of this.

Jensen is an empathetic person - picking up the mood quickly and even slipping into silence when someone needs it. This also extends to animals and spirits, hence why his skill with making contracts is above that of normal. He can lend an ear to anyone who wishes it. He's not good at giving advices though. He's not as experienced as he wants to be and this leads him to just speculate on the idea of what to do. Though he is very closed off about his actual feelings which leads him to battle with his own emotions by himself - but that's how he just is. Yes he is open with his thoughts but rarely his feelings.

To his friends, he is seen as the 'mom' type of the group. He takes care of those around him rather well. He sometimes sinks into temptation and has been drinking alcohol when he was still underaged. He drank mostly because of his friends, so it easily shows how quickly he succumbs to peer pressure. However, he soon learned his lesson that he should only drink moderately so he does continue drinking, but only small amounts compared to his colleagues. But that doesn't mean he's still not reckless and sometimes he pushes himself past his limits because of his friends.

Which brings us to the next point - Jensen is weak willed. He does not want others to think badly of him. He does everything so people are happy with him - even if it does go against what he feels is right especially when those people are his friends. Quickly influenced and convinced, it becomes a danger when he befriends and trusts someone who aims to manipulate him which is rather easy. After all, he is a trusting person and he doesn't so easily revoke his trust in someone until he has solid and undeniable proof that that person plans to betray him at some point.

Skills:
> Quick Learner: Aside from his hardworking attitude, Jensen's personality is complimented well with this. He can easily pick things up when it's taught to him or if he's exposed to it for a certain amount of time.

> House chores: Since Jensen was orphaned early in life and then taken in by a working relative, he learned how to take care of his house by himself. He also used to help out the New Breeds whenever he stayed over with Viorel and others. From cooking to cleaning, he can do it rather well.

> Interaction: Jensen is the master of interaction. Extroverted and friendly, Jensen can strike up a conversation with anyone if he so wished. That's just how he is. Hey, does that guy look like he needed help? Ask him! Does that girl seem like she's being harassed? Help her out!

> Empathy: Jensen has the ability to bond with anything given a time. While he can't understand animals through speech, he has been shown to be quite good at getting along with them. This also makes him the de facto choice when it comes to taking care of animals. This has extended towards spirits as well.


Hobbies:
> Sports and exercising: He's an athlete. Anything that involves anything phsyical is actually quite enjoyable to him. When he doesn't have to do anything, you would often find him exercising.

> Cleaning: Oddly enough, when he doesn't feel like exercising, you would find him cleaning something up. Perhaps it is something that was carried over to him feeling the need to care for those within his home.

> Foreign Langauges: He actually is fascinated with foreign languages and is trying to learn more about it. He has learned Spanish, French and Latin over the years he's trying. He has tried Mandarin but is still trying since he's having trouble with their characters.




Weapons: He does wear brass knuckles whenever he goes into a fight when he needs to get up close and personal. He is mildly proficient in boxing, but is nowhere near professional level. He tends to pick up other weapons when his brass knuckles aren't enough.

Equipment: N/A

Fighting Style: While he often just sends his summons to fight for him, as per how you would normally do, he sometimes takes to the battlefield as well if needed - utilizing any skill he had obtained during his time at sports.

Strength: He's rather physically fit. He won't be throwing anyone without breaking a sweat, but his punches does hurt. He can tank more hits than the average person, but when faced against those who are powerful - he might not last as long as those who are enhanced physically. He will not fare well after at least four well placed punches.

Endurance: He can keep up physically with others and can keep going on for far longer than normal people. He can run a good distance before getting tired, a side effect of being an athlete. He's still a human, however, so he needs to eat and sleep in exchange for the amount of energy that he spends every day. Which is a lot. He's been seen to eat twice as much as the otehrs.

Willpower: He doesn't like leaving things half-baked. So he tries to finish anything he wants to finish. Though if it's really difficult, he will feel very tired and would have to rest for a while. He can be easily manipulated through words and the likes. But his mental fortitude for anyone who's trying to read his mind or anything related to trying to poke at his mind would be hit by the emotional tiredness of dealing with spirits.

Speed: He's not too fast but he's not too shabby either. He doesn't specialize in this area as he's more of a heavy puncher than an agile dodger.

Reaction Speed: He has mildly excellent reaction speed since he's involved in fast paced games. He can dodge attacks if given enough room to do so and his speed allows it, but most especially, he can block attacks coming to him or warning others of the danger they are in.



Name of Ability: Runic Summoning

Class: Magic

Character Theme: Summoners didn't exactly have a good reputation as they were often misinterpreted as the same as necromancers. It wasn't until very recently did they have been correctly labeled - not that summoners hated necromancers. So, anyhow, summoners though rare nowadays have become more accepted. In everyday life, these summoned creatures have been used for a variety of things that help out for physical labor. Jensen typically doesn't care much for outwards appearance while he fights, hence why he appears to be reckless instead of graceful. Jensen has been seen as, ironically, the 'bad boy' of the group because of his tattoo runes and his head to head fighting when it comes to more humanoid enemies.

Ability Capabilities: Runic summoning is a branch of summoning where instead of chanting or physically creating magic circles on the spot to summon, they just use their runes. This saves time as the rites of summoning is shorter than the normal summoning rites as it users only need to tap the rune and call out the summon's name.

Qualities of Ability: Jensen isn't special amongst the New Breeds who can use Runic Summoning, though his ability to befriend summons to create contracts is rather unique to him.










Strengths of Ability: Summoners use creatures to fight for them - hence they are mostly out of the way of fighting. Runic Summoners also can quickly summon their creatures so it takes less time than normal.

Weaknesses of Ability: Despite what he acts like, summoning creatures is tiring so he needs to not do much for a certain amount of time after he has summoned something. And he can't just summon every single creature without feeling the effects. When he summons one creature, he doesn't feel any adverse effects as it continues to be there. When he has three creatures out all at the same time, though, this means that he's going to feel the effects of continuously feeding them energy and will weaken him resulting in him only being able to stand around as they fight. It should be noted that Runic Summoners also hear their summons' voices in his head even when they aren't out, which is mildly disorienting. But when they start picking up agitation, it becomes more and more apparent and he begins to have splitting headaches. There is also a chance for the user to suddenly collapse when things get too intense with their spirits - especially when the user is mentally weak at some point and a spirit might take over.

Limitations of Ability: While technically his ability will only grow from there, Jensen can only develop it further by meeting any creature or spirit out there that can be contracted which is far in between. For a Runic Summoner such as himself, it is extra harder because each summon must consent to making a contract with another summon - and the more you have, the more difficult it becomes.



Biograph:









Quote: "You know, I think people should just really accept all of us. After all, haven't we established that we're all unique in our own ways? We're just... a bit more different. But in the end, we're all humans and we're all here to help each other."

Reputation: As a student, he was a pretty popular kid and he has a lot of connections and friends from all around. Since he stopped after high school, they're all worried about his wellbeing but he does assure them that he's in a good place. As a hero, he's often seen as the mysterious bad boy of the group and he's accumulated a small fan base because of his contrasting personality and appearance. He has a pretty good reputation among the people and the loyal followers of what LHA does has followed him grow up as well. So anyone who has been following them knows him to be a pretty chill person.

Others:
  • There are actual people who know his secret identity but they are very close friends whom he trusts and they haven't betrayed it yet.
  • He actually does have a girlfriend - who also got the personal interview to also spread awareness for New Breeds and the likes. She's known his secret identity for years prior to them dating and continues to actively support him and the organization. Her name is Faye Carvajal - Half-Spanish, Half-American.

Sounds interesting. How would a character who uses cards as an ability fit in? I've been playing a lot of Slay the Spire, and would love to adapt it to an RP if I can.

Perfectly acceptable ability. Sounds like a good Tier 3 ability.

Name: Bridget Blackburn

Age: 24

Alias: Bahamut

Tier: 5

Years Spent in LHA: 0. She's brand new.

Appearance: Bridget has a fairly unique appearance, being rather dragonic in nature. She's got a few extra limbs when compared to a normal human, having a large tail and a small set of wings. Most of her body is covered in thick leathery hide and crimson scales, excluding her torso and head, which consist of pale heavily armored plates. Her head is adorned with a frightful set of horns, sharing the colour of her scales. The horns lay atop a luscious head of long pale cream hair that can extend to the floor (Though for convenience purposes she's had it cut to about shoulder length.) Bridget has a smooth face, it being almost like a porcelain mask due to being heavily armored. This mask like face makes her black and red eyes even more intimidating, her gaze being that of nightmares.

Although she doesn't like to talk about these, for CS purposes we must all know her height and weight. Bridget is a towering figure, standing a solid 313.4cms, and still growing. Her heavy scales and plated armor (much to her dismay.) make Bridget a staggeringly heavy creature, weighing in at around 445kgs.


Personality: Upon first meeting Bridget you wouldn't be blamed for thinking she's a total bitch. Her mix of passive-aggression and bad attitude can be horribly jarring when you first meet her. And you better get used to being called an idiot, because that might just be her favorite word, along with it's many variations.

Despite her proud and sometimes arrogant behavior, Bridget is actually highly concerned of how other people see her. She masks her insurgencies, pretending to not be fazed or to get angry. If someone were to actually crack open her rough outer shell, they might just find someone who's pleasant to be around.

Bridget always holds up her dignity, and when things threaten to degrade her image, she normally goes on the defensive, or in her case offensive.

Another large part of Bridget is her temper, she's a very easy individual to set off, although her outbursts never break into harsh physical violence, she isn't opposed to lesser physical abuse like tripping, slapping or pushing. This temper often gets her into situations she'd rather avoid, most of the time regretting what she's done later.

Behind all the bitch, she really just wants people to get to know her for 'her' and not the propaganda that the magazines show, but she's also worried that nobody cares about who the person behind the photos is.

She is also very very humble as fuck. Like really without question she is the most humble person you will ever meet.

Skills: Bridget is a rather sporty girl, being especially good at basket ball.

Hobbies: Bridget sometimes partakes in sports, mainly basketball, volleyball and tennis.



Weapons: Bridget doesn't use weapons, mostly because metal objects tend to bend and misshape when she uses them, and they aren't commonly designed in a way that allows Bridget to handle them effectively.

Equipment: Again she avoids equipment because of her tendency to melt or ignite said equipment.

Fighting Style: Bridget has no formal or non formal training in any sort of fighting, leading to her relying heavily on her brute strength and elemental abilities over proper combat form. This makes her easy to read as she throws wide punches or claw swipes, but sometimes she may incorporate her tail into attacks leaving even seasoned fighters surprised.

Explain what your character can and cannot do within the given areas;

Strength: Bridget is very strong, easily able to pick up and throw cars, even able to stop a moving bus if the situation ever arises. Metal is still metal and does require effort to break through depending on thickness but brick walls are as good as doors when Bridget needs to get somewhere quick.

Endurance: Bridget could be compared to a walking tank in some respect, her torso and shoulders having great resistance towards slashing or impact damage. But fairs much worse against piercing weapons like bullets, while being able to block the lowest calibers of bullets, while larger bullets pierce right through. Along side this, her plated armor does have grooves and chicks in it, where long thin weapons like swords could got through, though it'd be very difficult to do mid combat. Her had also has this dense armor except it's thinner and will crack when hit hard enough, her horns on the other hand provide grate defense for the flanks of her head, while the back remains unarmored.

As for her arms, tail and legs, these areas have tough hide which is good at dampening most damage, but lacks the sheer density of the armored plates. These scale covered areas will be damages buy cutting weapons, like swords and such, but blunt force is ill advised.

Willpower: Bridget has a pretty fragile opinion of herself, normally acting unaffected or getting angry when harsh comments are made. She is also not good with gore, being unsettled by it, or straight up puking depending on the amount/specific body parts.

Speed: Bridget is kind of like a truck when it comes to speed. She's slow to start with, but eventually building up to great speed, and you'll not want to be in front of her when at said speed. But also like a truck, she lack agility, so tight turns and obstacles are going to be a large problem for her.

Reaction Speed: Bridget isn't the fastest when it comes to reaction speed either, Being around the average.



Name of Ability: Drako Furnace

Class: Physical

Character Theme: Dragonic mutations, making the effected look more like a beast or demon rather than a human being. Also producing and projecting heat. Being like a living furnace, with a body hard like stone and a core that's hot like lava.

Ability Capabilities: Bridget's abilities allow her to perform great feats of strength and durability, far exceeding any regular human feats. Along with these attributes comes her control over heat, letting her burn or melt objects.

Qualities of Ability: (See the combat information tab for her physical abilities. Though a thing to note, her tail is prehensile.) Bridget has the ability to produce vast amounts of heat, be it inside her or immediately around her. Bridget is able to focus this heat her body generates and manipulate in a verity of ways, such as projecting it in the form of a beam, or simply radiating it from her body. The heat she produces is visible, having a dull or bright orange hue, depending on the intensity of the heat. When using any of her heat abilities Bridget's, any cracks or groves in her torso/face armor will glow with eh same colour.

Strengths of Ability: Bridget's strong physical potency and ability to produce heat make her a fearsome combatant. Her considerable strength and heat abilities allow her to dish out great amounts of damage, while her size and armor allows her to take many hits and continue fighting.

Weaknesses of Ability: Bridget is not an marathon runner, being rather quick to tire if exerting herself for short periods of time. This is a result of her increased metabolism, meaning she needs to eat more frequently than others, add that to her large size, and it is plain to see how food and energy are a big problem for Bridget. Her exhaustion can be accelerated if things like water or ice are used to cool her, forcing herself to reheat and expend more energy than normal. She also doesn't have any kind of enhanced healing factor despite having a faster metabolism, her armored plates in particular take a long time to heal without assistance, being comparable to repairing bones.

Limitations of Ability: Bridget's has limits on her power, that she currently can't work around. Her current maximum temperature is around 1000 degrees Celsius making her able to melt concrete. She can also only perform one kind of heat projection at a time, eg she couldn't fire a beam of heat while also making a heat field around herself.



Biograph:







Quote: "It's not easy being me."

Reputation: Bridget is seen as a model, not a unanimously loved one, often being a target by bigoted individuals, but nothing most physically altered New Breed wouldn't be used to, the only reason it being more noticeable for her is because of her position in the limelight.

I've been working on a few ideas and not sure which to pick. Thinking between the classic super strength when in a 'berserk' sort of state (like the hulk, though I more was inspired by Cù Chulainn) or necromancery (not so much bringing the dead back to life but more like animating of specifically dead tissue and bone which has no will and must directly be controlled mentally)

Any of these you prefer or should i try finding something else to emulate?

I dunno, while a healer would be useful I personally can't see much potential in being stuck exclusively in that role. I could make the necromancer-ish guy be able to heal others to some degree which would cement him as a supportive role.

No it's all good. You're fine. No need for healing, already had a backup plan ready for that.
