[OOC] Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG (Closed)

[Fallenreaper]

@MelonHead: Your post was wonderful, though one thing. Jacqueline wouldn't have met Lekh since she has a strict schedule and rarely free time, especially during this period. So as far as he knows, he's collecting the information for the Syndicate only. He would also likely know about Hero's public identity as Dr. Cole, the expert brought in.

[MelonHead]

Sorry I must have misled ya there. I was referring to the Cowl and when he would receive the Intel.

I'm pretty sure we aren't in summer yet, early spring maybe. But I think it was just after February, maybe March in IC. Ded or NMS would know for sure.

@VATROU

Wasn't entirely sure on the time of year but it won't take much to adjust it.

@Dedonus @nitemare shape

What time of year or season is IC currently in?

[nitemare shape]

Vat is correct, we're moving into early March IC

[DearTrickster]

@nitemare shape I'll adjust my post up to reflect the weather~ won't take much.

[nitemare shape]

No worries. We'll be moving into Spring/Summer with Season 2

Character you have created: Barron Vanderbilt

Alias: Barron is the only name he is known by however it is presumed that it is not his real name. No one not even his wife knows his true name.

Speech Color Whatever this color is?

Character Alignment: Villain

Identity: His name is known just not currently as a Major Villain. That will change as he begins to act openly.

Character Personality: Egotistical, power hungry and cruel. Barron has wanted one thing and one thing only for a long time, true power. He comes from a world devastated by destruction brought about by man, radiation and power rule the wastes. He and his wife Carol have come to resent these humans of this new world their self indulgence and ignorance of their own planet’s destruction have driven these two who feed off each other’s personalities to desire to amass power and wealth so they could conquer this world.

As violent as Barron can be he rewards those who are useful to him, and is regarded as a decent boss never raising his hand against those who work well under him, yet never allowing himself to seem weak. He’ll kill those who fail him too many times and depending upon how they failed him he could kill them outright without warning.

He surrounds himself with the finer things in life, the best alcohol, dapper clothes and expensive baubles.

Uniform/costume: Dapper Mobster clothing.

Origin Info/Details: Barron is the victim of a rip in time and space. He and Carol were ripped from their own dimension a world devastated by atomic mutual destruction. A Lead Mystical Scientist working for Vlad Tepes was sure he could control and open a stable gateway between dimensions and as his test progressed it ran into several errors. In the process of shutting it down it had torn open a portal and two people were snatched from their dimension. Barron Vanderbilt a man who had risen to power by running the casino Gomorrah in New Vegas after the former bosses met an unfortunate accident.

Barron grew up in a normal home to post apocalyptic standards and after Raiders ransacked his family farm something inside himself snapped, after killing his own parents he ran a raider gang for some years, and came across New Reno and the power the Crime Bosses had was staggering and he wanted it he wanted it all. It was also where he would meet his future wife, Carol Bates whose father ran the Gun Runners in the area. He and Carol would go on to attempt to take New Reno but the Crime Bosses were onto him. Driven from New Reno Barron and Carol packed up and fled to New Vegas where Barron had friends in Gomorrah who met an untimely end. Here Barron would rise in power and plan his move to take Vegas.

He had all the pieces in place to make his move as Barron began his assault on Vegas war broke out on the streets and explosions bombarded the buildings that was when the sky quite literally opened Barron stood next to Carol in amazement as everything stopped and the sky swallowed them whole. The transferring of Dimensions was not an easy one as not only were Barron and his wife ripped from their dimension but so too was rubble and explosive debris causing major damage to the lab and nearly left Barron dying in the process.

A stable portal between worlds would have given Vlad the power he needs to be completely unopposed by the world powers. Sure they fear him now but the rise of Metas and Superheroes have begun to level the playing field. Unlimited access to the technology and resources of other worlds would ensure that he and his kind not only thrived for all time but dominated in case the world decided to retaliate. Not only has the experiment failed but due to their negligence two individuals were nearly killed something his pride wouldn’t let him ignore. Against his better Judgement he saved them from Death’s grasp by making a last minute decision to turn them into Vampires.

Fast forward five years later and Barron runs a Crime Ring in Vegas out of a casino called Gomorrah. He has plans to expand his operations.

Hero Type (Select one):
Supernatural: Elder Blood Breed Vampires


Power Level (Select one below):
C. World Level (Ex. Flash, Superman)

Powers (Be Specific):

Near Invulnerability. As a Elder Blood Breed Vampire plain physical attacks have little effect on them. Exposure to their Key weaknesses can make them more vulnerable.

Magical Affinity. As a Vampire they have the ability to cast magic spells and effects. Charm spells and polymorphism are the most common but they can utilize destruction and status spells that can put people to sleep or bind them.

Telekinetic Feeding. As an Elder Blood Breed they can feed from a farther distance pulling the blood in a stream thus increasing their powers. This can also turn victims into Mindless Ghouls to be used to distract enemies. Elder Blood Breeds don’t need to feed but it’s like a alcohol and it does charge them giving them more power to an extent.

Inhuman Strength.

Inhuman Speed.

Claws and Fangs.

Near Immortality. Elder Blood Breed Vampires will not age, nor will they die unless weakened first.

Barron is a trained Boxer, has has extensive knowledge of varying gun types. He's not particularly good with guns, preferring shotguns and sub machine guns and automatics. But. He probably won't need to worry about them too much anymore. Though he may just use totally unwieldy rounds, like 50 BMG sub auto rounds for a kick or something. Blowing things up never gets old even if you do turn into a Vampire.

Attributes (Select one at each category):

Strength Level: 70 tons. Possibly more if well fed.

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 90 + possibly more if well fed.

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: Normal Human, 2, 3, 4, 5 hours.

Agility: 15X a normal human

Intelligence: Average

Fighting Skill:Trained They have basic training to understand their powers but have not lived long enough to master their abilities.

Resources: Large. Barron runs a Casino as a front and traffics illegal contraband and magical items to those who pay.

Weaknesses: Sunlight, crosses, holy water, and prayer. Those who specialize in Vampire hunting or those Holy Men who have a strong faith can weaken Vampires sometimes significantly although that depends of the Type of Vampire and Level of Faith. Also those who have holy artifacts or those who can cast Divine Magic.

Depending upon the method used, Elder Blood Breeds can receive various forms of damage. Sunlight constantly weakens and drains them of energy. Like a Marathoner running 16 Marathons back to back No matter how much blood one drinks eventually they’ll run out of energy.

The Presence of Crosses can allow their invulnerable bodies to sustain damage. Same for Prayer.

Divine Magic can be utilized in a myriad of ways. From weakening to sealing, to outright killing them. It depends on the skill and of course time and faith but Divine magic can be a powerful weapon against the cursed and undead.

Supporting Characters: Carol Bates or her married name Carol Vanderbilt.

@VATROU

Approved

[KaiserElectric]

Crime lord vampire. That's never a good sign.

[Fallenreaper]

This is what happens when I have a Gimping itch! XD I'm actually considering doing one for Racheli really for her future development and create a sig and avi set for fun.

[VATROU]

I forgot to mention that Barron is a trained Boxer, has has extensive knowledge of varying gun types. He's not particularly good with guns, preferring shotguns and sub machine guns and automatics.

Oh and watch out Cowl. Barron is coming for you!

[Dedonus]

@VATROU: Hmm, a vampire character. I wonder if a certain ability that our lovely resident drider has will be of any use.

Immunity to Vampirism: Arachne has nothing to fear from the characters of Twilight...

Arachne CS

[KaiserElectric]

So just a heads up, I think I'll be setting all future stories involving Riley about a week after the current timeline at the very least. Kind of a weird timeskip, but frankly I don't want to deal with crafting vague observations of the metahuman crisis for my characters to mention, especially since it has little to no impact on most of Riley's origin, bar her first few stories. I'd rather not step on anyone's toes. :P

@Dedonus

Don't worry, Barron has no interest in Arachne nor her sizable assets. He loves his wife and would never cross her, even to gawk like shameless men at her, bosom.

<Snipped quote by Dedonus>

@Fallenreaper

I'm pretty sure Werewolves can't get Vampirism. And I've had enough Werewolf Vampire hybrids.

I rather not create another species of werewolf/vampire though I'm pretty sure someone will just to out do us both.

@VATROU

Of course he is, The Cowl will be ready.

Also I have returned, revel in my presence, mortals!
