Tying her backstory to real life events are okay. 9/11 is just a little to far in the past (she would be in her late 30's in the IC otherwise).

Ah, I see. Then perhaps I can leave that out and just that "people had fear of another 9/11", just as we in the USA had fear of the Soviets invading after Pearl Harbor was on our minds.

@Jaredthefox92: And to answer your height question, I would suggest no more than 100 feet be her max (aka she can't hold that size for very long).

I would say two good comparisons are Hank Pym from the Ultimate Universe (60 ft max) and Mount Lady from My Hero Academia (~67 feet). That allows her to still have a good height advantage, but she's not so tall that "Kaiju" level enemies would be the only real threat to her.

Okay, yeah normally she's around 60, 100 is basically straining herself. So alright, seems fair.

Um, I'm kind of nervous and clueless on where to put Girliath. Any pointers? She's a villain, but maybe she would be on the supervillain side or perhaps she is still searching for a villain job? (Her theme is at the start she is unemployed and on the lamb. Basically a villainess for hire.)

You could always join us in the Discord server to get tips and hints in real time. But as for now, ummm...Lost Haven is nutso at te moment. And there's really not "sides" for most of the characters. I *just* opened up Detroit as a setting. NYC and Pacific Point are both good spots. And with the HoH arc going on everything's kind of a mess atm, so you could slip in pretty much anywhere and go unobserved.

If you're looking for team-ups and fights, I would suggest fine-combing over the CSs, read some posts, and see where or with whom she'd fit best.

Also hahaha it has been forever since I've posted in OOC

The official one for the forum or is there one for this particular RP?

Alright, so Lulissa is just walking the streets or would she be taking advantage of the chaos to steal things? Alright, I'm looking for her to team up with others because she needs a job and she's good as a "tank" character to help other villains.

@Jaredthefox92: the one for the rp. Link is in the OP.

Okay, I'll join real quick and then go to bed. It's late here.

Character you have created: Lulissa Thomas
Alias: Girliath
Speech Color: Pink
Character Alignment: Neutral Evil

Might as well go ahead and approve this CS. No need for any more delays since you made the proper corrections.

Should have another Frogs post up tonight or tomorrow, and I have another character sheet mostly done.

Just got back from seeing Depeche Mode. Working on some stuff.....

Character you have created: Jeremiah Crane

Alias: The Hunter

Speech Color: Dark Salmon

Character Alignment: Hero (Neutral Good)

Identity: Known(ish)

Character Personality: Jeremiah is an amiable, kind man raised by good, Christian parents in New England. While he spends his life tracking and hunting demons, you'd never know it by the way he acts. Quick with a smile or a joke, he does not let his quest burden him.

Uniform/costume: Jeremiah wears the tattered, dirty, and faded blue trench coat he wore as a Union army member during the war over a simple set of cowboy duds. He wears a leather cowboy hat made of the hide of some unknown beast that is tougher than any armor. He keeps a bandana tied around his neck, and his guns hang from holsters on his hip. He carries in his pack all manner of weapons to fight the supernatural.

Origin Info/Details:

Jeremiah's story began not with him, or his parents, but with his grandfather. Ichabod Crane is a name most knew from stories and legends passed down through the generations of America. Most believed Washington Irving made the man up, and that Sleepy Hollow was nothing more than a bedtime story. They would have been wrong. Ichabod was real, as was the story of Sleepy Hollow. While Ichabod, the frightful, over-imaginative man that he was, was chased out of Sleepy Hollow by a man dressed as the Headless Horseman.

That's not where his story ended.

Ichabod, ashamed, returned to the town after realizing he had been duped. What he found was not the derisive laughter he expected, but the butchered bodies of the townsfolk. When his rival in love had used the story of the Headless Horseman to drive Crane off, the man angered the true spirits that haunted Sleepy Hollow, who sought to teach the people a lesson.

Ichabod was shaken to the core by what he saw. This led him to throwing himself head first into study of the occult and the supernatural. He discovered America was full of supernatural threats that most were complete oblivious to. From that day on, he made it his goal to purify the country of the supernatural threats it contained.

Jeremiah was the third hunter in the Crane line. His father, Washington, and grandfather raised him to be the best of them, and he loved both men dearly. The three men and Jeremiah's mother Anne lived in Maine, near the city now known as Lost Haven. New England was a hotbed of supernatural activity. It was here where Jeremiah learned his family trade, protecting the normal civilians of America from threats they could not comprehend.

When the American Civil War broke out, Jeremiah signed up for the Union Army. Not only because he believed in what the army stood for and the freedom of all men, but because he knew that the blood of the battlefield would awaken and draw out insidious threats.

It was during the war that Jeremiah realized his crusade was more than just his family's. He found that many hunters existed, and had existed for centuries. It was also during the war that he found that he was marked. After mortally wounding a demon feeding off the dying and the wounded on the Antietam battlefield, Crane was told that his bloodline would bring about the fall of man and the time of demons. He would be the instrument of the fall of man.

Crane didn't know whether he could trust the demon, but he now has doubt in the back of his mind. After the war, he now travelled the country, cleansing it of the monsters that feed off it.

Hero Type: Normal with shades of Mystic

Power Level: Street level

Powers: Jeremiah has a basic understanding of the mystic arts, and can perform simple spells. Most of his strategy, however, revolved around his combat skills. He was a crack shot with any firearm, but he preferred his Colt revolvers. He was also a cable and trained hand-to-hand combatant.

Attributes (Select one at each category):


Weaknesses: He's a normal human, so plentiful

Supporting Characters:

Isaac Freeman: A former slave and Jeremiah's best friend. The two fought together in the war, and after seeing Crane kill a demon on the battlefield, Isaac asked to join his crusade. He is now a fellow hunter. The strong, silent type, Isaac is one of the most intelligent people Jeremiah has ever met.

Major John Andre: A former Redcoat spymaster during the Revolutionary War, Andre was captured and hung by the Continental Army. His spirit did not pass into the next life, however. He wandered New England, finally setting in the woods around Sleepy Hollow. He and Jeremiah met when the young hunter came to the town that made his family famous. Andre now can spy on the spirit world and assist Crane.

Toad: Jeremiah's horse

@HenryJonesJr Jerimiah looks really fun so far! Magic demon fighting cowboy <3.

Character you have created: Jeremiah Crane

Alias: The Hunter

Speech Color: Fire Brick

Character Alignment: Hero (Neutral Good)

1) Fire Brick is already taken, although I guess we'll run out of colors sooner or later.

2) So, is this character only going to be operating in the past?

3) Since you already have an accepted CS, you don't need another sample post.

1) I can change that.

2) Uhhhhh can I say "What happens in the past affects the future" and leave it at that? I'm probably getting too ambitious for my own good, but the Crane line will show up in the current timeline in one way or another.

3) Well that's nice!

That's what the fine print says. ;)

I would suggest letting the GMs (NMS, Hound, and I) know what your plans are. We can wait for @nitemare shape to see what he thinks.

@HenryJonesJr You think the Cranes have met any of the Van Helsings, now or in the past? As it's a title and not an a strict bloodline. Though most are from the same ancestry.

Not yet, as Jeremiah was the first to discover there even were any other hunters out there. But I am considering having him take a trip to Europe at some point down the line.
