Legion of Superheroes iCheck

[Omega Man]

In the 30th century, the galaxy is a crowded place. There are thousands of inhabited worlds and intelligent species, and very few of them get along with each other. Still, there are those who believe that a united galaxy is the best solution for everybody. One of those is R.J. Brande, one of the richest men in the galaxy. He pushed for a United Planets organization to handle conflicts between systems, and while he had some support, he also had a lot of resistance. There were some who opposed him so strongly that they wished him dead. One of these assassination attempts was in the presence of three teenagers, strangers to each other. The three youths worked together instantly, foiling the assassination and capturing the suspects. Brande saw in them the embodiment of all he had been working towards, and convinced them to follow in the footsteps of the great heroes of the 20th century. They wore costumes and used code names and became the Legion of Super-Heroes. But recently the genius of their group, Brainiac 5, turned traitor and snapped like the other Brainiacs before him who often fought with Superman in the past. His robotic side took over completely and he tried to destroy the Legion. Only three of them remain to rise from the ashes with a new team of heroes to stop Brainiac 5.

The Legion has always been a fun concept but something I think is missing from the comics is that old flair of seeing a new hero or heroine. So we'll take the basic concept of three individuals remaining after Brainiac turns rogue and the three will remake the Legion. Starting weeks after the end of the team, the Legion's benefactor re-started the Legion Academy and issued Legion flight/universal translator rings to several new young heroes training to be protectors of the United Planets. We're still based in 30th Century Metropolis, aliens are everywhere.

The idea for this game is to recreate the Legion using whatever past material you wish for inspiration. Character Sheets should be sent to me via PM and approved before being posted here or in the OOC. Character Sheets must include but are not limited to:

Name -
Alias -
Age - [16-21]
Homeworld - [you can look human and be from another world with superpowers like 90% of the Legion if you'd prefer]
Appearance - [description and/or image, I'll make micros!]
Powers - [no more than three since we have flight rings, and no power sub-sets unless approved!]
Weaknesses -
Personality - [three words that define your character]
BRIEF Bio -
Notes -

Tried going at this in a stat based manner but it doesn't look to be getting much attention in the Tabletop sub-forum. I'd be willing to drop the stats just to get an RP going with some steam. Just before the site went down I had a Legion game about 11 or 12 players strong. I already miss it...

If the same people who showed interest in the stat based version are on board then we're already 3 possibly 4 members strong. Only need another handful. Any questions about what powers are already off the table take a look at the link in my sig at the other iCheck. And if you're down for the stat based version let me know as well! I'd still love to get one off the ground.

[Endrance]

Name - Xalandra Kataja
Alias - Remix
Age - 17
Homeworld - Trom
Appearance -
Powers - ability to transmute and shape her body into any element or compound
Weaknesses - When not already shifting, her body is the same as any normal human. The more solid and in human form she is, the more likely she is to get hurt or killed.
Personality - Blunt, Unwavering, Spontaneous
BRIEF Bio - Xalandra grew up on the pacifist planet but was more blunt and to the point when it game to certain matters. Most of the others on her planet were the average pacifist types, Xal had a bit of a wildstreak and it manifested in her powers being physical in nature and transmuting herself rather than what she was touching or blasting.
Notes - Xal dislikes structure and does have minor problems with authority but if appealed to she'll get the job done, she also enjoys chocolate. Her hair constantly changes colors.

Hmm, bring back Bulk Lad, or make someone new... hmm.

[Omega Man]

I've still got Bulk Lad's micro.... he'd be awesome in a stat based game. A bunch of strength based attacks and defenses with the additional move "absorbing mass" for a defense perhaps. Endrance and I both went with new characters, but Bulk Lad was really the heart of the last team.

RIP Legion of old....



^^^ Superb cast in that game.

~KL~

[DrewVonAwesome]

True enough, DAMN YOU OLD RP GUILD SITE DYING!

Yeah I have it saved too, lets see what I'll do with this profile. Same concept of him being one an original, or are we sticking closer to the original Legion cast stuff?

[Damo021]

Name - Toriand'r ( Tori For Short. )
Alias - Starbolt
Homeworld - New Tamaran
Appearance -

Tori stands at 5'9 and weighing in at 118lbs with Green eyes, Red hair and Golden skin.
Age - 18
Powers - Energy projection, Superhuman Strength and Durability.
Personality - Free Spirited, optimistic, Honest.
Brief Bio - Toriand'r did not have the most easiest of life's on Tamaran and although born to a loving family things were made all the more tougher when she suffered from a childhood Illness that robbed her of the ability to fly. The inability of the use of flight like the others in her race made her feel a little outcast as she did not have as many privilages as others. Despite the hardships and in Tamaran's warlike custom, was sent for warrior training with the Warlords of Okaara. After many years of hard work and training pushing hard to prove herself, Tori unknowngly from the help of her family caught wind of a recruitment opportunities at Legion and headed for the planet earth thus leaving Tamaran for the first time.

Notes - Due to her Tamaranean Physiology, Toriand'r has green eyes, Golden skin and Red hair. Like all Tamaraneans, Her body constantly absorbs ultraviolet radiation and is able to convert it to energy for her energy projection which sometimes act's beyond her control for example such as releasing explosive bright green energy blasts when she sneezes, or her strength accidentally bending a street light.

Tori is regarded as very physically attractive, But she displays the traits of Tamaran's highly sensuous honest and emotional culture, While she can get a little hot tempered, Tori has a no nonsense warrior attitude with a gentle innocence, wild sexuality but takes friendship seriously and is easily distressed when others, especially her best friends, argue or fight. She can absorb knowledge of basic spoken tongues and languages through lip contact with another person. She is proficient in armed and unarmed combat, having been trained from a young age.

Name - Kodol Etan
Alias - Bulk Lad
Homeworld - Buga
Appearance -

Despite what his powers entitle Kodol typically looks quite fit and handsome. Around six feet even tall and normally only weighing around 150 pounds. He has long blond hair that reaches his shoulders and his suit is a sleeveless blue piece that has black and white trim with blue tinted goggles.
Age - 16
Powers - Bulk Lad under the right conditions has superhuman strength and endurance. However to gain said ability Bulk Lad has to consume food in order to gain weight. He gains weight much more rapidly than any other kind of species and the larger he is the stronger he is. His body also distributes the weight allowing for mobility no matter how big. As the food he consumes has an effect on him of triple that any other species. His digestive system is also powerful enough to digest any non-food item he swallows without any . On top of this, a Bugan’s jaw line has a strong elasticity to it, meaning that with a moment they can unhinge their jaw, allowing for consumption of something very large.
Personality - Caring, friendly, sensitive
Weaknesses - Kodol has dealt with a lot of ridicule for his people and their unique powers. So much so it makes him upset to hear it from anyone, and he can lose focus in such situation. Naturally as Kodol becomes bigger, his speed decreases, and it is possible for a Bugan to become so big they lose mobility, but its not easily achievable. The only other problem Kodol has is his fact that he trusts people too easily.
Brief Bio - Bugans are typically ridiculed for their unique digestive systems. So often they exist mainly on their own planet, with Bugans outside of it a very rare sight. Kodol himself wanted the universe to see how great his species were. After undergoing the training on his body’s system necessary to create strength through caloric intake Kodol went to the Milky Way galaxy to join the Legion.
Notes - Typically Bugans work not unlike an Earth’s camel. Able to survive without eating much for up to a week. That said Bugans gain weight at a very rapid fashion. Though after a few hours their bodies shrink back down to a normal looking weight and slowly burn the energy. Kodol’s system is able to take all the food intake and produce strength in his muscles for it, despite the still overweight appearance it leaves him. In emergency situations Kodol carries with him a bar of food that can produce enough fat and calories to instantly balloon him up to around 350 pounds.

Also of note, Kodol happens to be a very talented cook. As is traditional with Buga residents as they consider a true mark of talent in one’s culinary skills. These very skills often get shown off in Buga village parties. Notorious for being a week long celebration with food and spirits.

Name - Duron Arias

Alias - 6Speed

Age - 18

Homeworld - Cargg

Appearance - see avatar

Powers - Carggite ability to split into three individuals was altered after being struck by lightning, now he can become six individuals with super speed that decreases with each duplicate. The original can reach the speed of sound [767 mph], decreasing with each duplicate to give each less speed than the last.

Weaknesses - Each duplicate is slower than the last. Each 6Speed wears light running/battle armor and is capable of protecting from low grade attacks but the more powerful they are the more they hurt him. He's not super durable, however he does heal faster than most. And he can be tripped up as easy as anyone.

Personality - hyper, compassionate, humorous

BRIEF Bio - Duron was raised like so many other teens on Cargg that could become three individuals. He excelled in writing and language while in school and was on the running team. When a freak lightning storm rained over Cargg for two days, Duron was struck by lightning and his alien power evolved. Upon hearing about the decimation of the Legion by one of their own, Duron made his way to Earth to join the Legion. He felt it was one of the only places a power like his would be useful. Even when he could split into three individuals he felt alone, he didn't want the same feeling just doubled on Cargg.

Notes - He comes from the homeworld of Triplicate Girl/Duplicate Girl.

You can't keep a good Bulk Lad down missy.

[Damo021]

Ha ha, I still remember when the stuck up guy picked on him, big mistake lol. Starbolt was in there joined just before the site went down and only got one post in turning up to the HQ while you were out on mission. :)

I think Bulk Lad was awesome, but the cast was great.

[Kalamadea]

Interested. I'm thinking of working up something drawing inspiration from Dark Samus. I've actually never stuck a tech-based character into a superhero RP before.

[Omega Man]

More alien powers would be better, no tech based heroes in the Legion....

~KL~

[Kalamadea]

I was actually planning on a mix of the two, in all honesty.

[Omega Man]

So long as you're not in Ironman type full body armor I don't mind. Characters must have one superhuman ability they can fully control to be admitted into the Legion with no powers based on gadgets like Batman. So... no full body armor, utility belts, or weapons... if you could give us a technopath like Rumiko's Cyber Girl on the far left above I wouldn't mind at all.

~KL~

[Kalamadea]

I dunno. The whole "no tech powers at all" thing seems a bit strange to me. Would a technopath with certain tech they keep on hand be fine?

I was thinking that their technopathy wouldn't literally be technopathy, but a form of aura extension, so to speak. Their race would have an energy signature that they can extend into tech to power it up and control it, and can override other power sources to bring the tech under their control. Their own tech is built without power sources due to the fact that they can extend this energy part of themselves into the tech to power it, which would mean power sources would be a bit redundant for anything that's not too big. This would create the effect of the race being made up of technopaths, when it's not really a psychic ability.

I'll have to create limitations and do other things to balance it out, but I think I've got something pretty neat going on that can definitely be worked with.

[Omega Man]

Sounds good to me so far. If he or she was like a sentient machine like the Green Lantern Stel from whatever planet he was from I'd be more willing to accept it. That way you'd kinda get armor and gadgets but they'd just be a part of you.

~KL~

[Yog Sothoth]

does a character have to be an alien?

[Omega Man]

Yeah, but they can be a humanoid alien like 90% of the Legion in the comics. In the 30th century the human race got around in the universe.

I still have that post saved on my google cloud storage. My favorite part was when he looks at the others after decking the guy and was like "Yeah he was clearly going to shoot me, everyone saw that right?"
