I need to polish up my writing, this RP is a higher class than what I'm used too.

Everyone has room for improvement. That's one reason some of us write (or at least why i write): to improve their writing.

Character you have created: Archangel
Alias:

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Secret

Character Personality: Archangel is determined, because she is artificial her resolve is like iron. She is almost impossible to surprise and because her mind works faster than any human if she is surprised she does not show it. She longs to be human and to walk among others as if she was one. She is prohibited from killing by her programming. She was also programmed to enjoy helping people. Archangel is almost always the smartest person in any room but while she points out flaws and issues she is not arrogant about it.

Uniform/costume: Archangel is an artificial intelligence. Her consciousness is normally inside a facility that she was made to administer too. She can download herself into suits. Most of her suits look like they completely encase a human and look like they are power armor. Two wings that when activated glow with blazing plasma blades are always part of the suit. So is a spear that ends in a two pronged head. The suits' natural color is always white, but different models have active camouflage or optional color schemes.

She has a bunch of unfinished or faulty suits that look like humans. She has been trying for years but never quite gotten a human suit right yet and she longs to succeed. When she does her human suit will look sort of like the picture below.

Archangel Human Suit

Origin Info/Details:

Hero Type (Select one):
Gray Matter (Super-smart characters)

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

Powers (Be Specific): Archangel is a highly advanced AI. She can hack into almost anything if she wants too and can build and create advanced technology with ease. Her powers all come from her suits that she builds.

Attributes (Select one at each category): -awkward face- I am horrible at numbers. I hope I do this alright. -hopeful face-

Strength Level: 90

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 100+ MPH.

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: Her endurance is only limited by her suit power sources. They can last for hundreds of years.

Agility: 20X + Human level.

Intelligence: Super-Genius

Fighting Skill: Mastered

Resources: Extreme

Weaknesses: Archangel cannot kill. She also is artificial and her suits could potentially be hacked. Because she fears being exposed as artificial she works very hard at pretending to be human behind the suits and if exposure is threatened she might be a bit erratic.

Supporting Characters: She has no one yet. -sad face-

Do you know how to post pictures on RPG boards?: -nods- I do -happy face-

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue. As this is an Advanced Level game, Sample must also meet the RPG forum's minimum requirement of 12 lines):

It was not a challenge. She had already won and the criminals did not even know she was there. Archangel had already deployed restraints at the three exits from the building. Now she just had to wait for the law breakers to leave. Her mind tapped into the security footage. She could see the men there, gathering their loot and getting ready to leave. They were oblivious. A part of Archangel made her want to brag, to call out over the intercom system inside the building so they knew they were outmatched. It was an almost human desire and she let herself be almost human.

Her voice was average and run through two layers of synthesizers so that no one could tell it was not a real voice that was distorted. "This is Archangel. You have committed crimes. Surrender now." She felt another almost human thrill as she watched the men panic for a moment. One bolted right away and tripped a trap as he charged out the right side door. A small disk on the ground activated and ropes of energy appeared around him, binding him in place. That was one of seven down.

Two men tried the other doors like she knew they would. As much as she wanted to be human Archangel knew they were often simple. Two silver orbs detached from her shoulders as her plasma wings ignited and she took flight from the roof of the building. Now they were planning to split up and try all three doors at once. She had expected this. The lone men at the side and rear of the building were zapped by the drones.

Archangel descended in front of the two who exited through the front and bullets pinged off the metal of her suit. She pointed the spear at them and it flashed. In an instant they dropped as the pnemonic elements in the flash caused all exposed humans to lose conciousness. It had been easy and she had already won, but she still felt good at having stopped them.

{Character you have created}

Name: Draku Rodriguez

Age: Unknown/ Appears 21

Race: Dragonknight

Height: 6'5"

Weight: Unknown/ Weighs Beyond Any Expectations

{Alias} Silent Thunder

{Speech Color} Vibrant

{Character Alignment} Anti-Hero

{Identity} Secret/Known

{Character Personality}

- By nature, honor would seem to be more important to him than life itself; often becoming tied to The Dragonknight's code of conduct on the battlefield, believing adversaries should be treated with courtesy and respect, even if they would be sworn enemies. Caution and discretion are key to his survival, but fear is a disease and cowardice is a moral failing. To him, breaking an oath is the height of dishonor, and attention to honesty extends to every word. A commitment made must be carried out. Ultimately, he takes responsibility for his actions and the consequences that follow. Typically enthusiastic about life, particularly success, and brooding about failure for only a short time before disappointment is shaped into a strong drive for improvement. Being amongst the last of his mighty race, The Dragonknight actually demonstrates a humble trait that might be considered by some as reserved; but like the vast majority of his race, he has no qualms asking for what he needs or taking the time to improve himself. Trust is a major factor in the lives of all Dragonknight and each expects others to be just as open and forthcoming with them as they are.
Others may see he and his people as proud or even arrogant because of this dedication to excellence and high standards. It is true that Dragonknight are typically proud of their race's accomplishments. However, are also more than willing to recognize with respect the accomplishments of others in turn, whether or not the being in question is an ally or enemy. Part of the roots of The Dragonknight's honorable attitude lies within his drive for self-improvement, placing great value on the skill of an individual, including his own. Failing at a task is anathema to a Dragonknight and as a result they can sometimes push themselves to unhealthy extremes of effort. This aspect of the Dragonknight mind means few of the race take a laidback approach to any skill or ability, striving ever to become the masters of a particular skill and respect those among other races that approach life in the same manner. Draku is no different. The passionate nature of The Dragonknight has persuaded others to believe him to become quite brutal or vengeful over the span of his many lives and given to hasty choices that are morally compromising. The Dragonknight's sense of worth can likewise lead to greed and egoistic selfishness, often fueled by the twisted influence of his guardian spirit; the two different personalities often raging war within his mind, yet retaining the scruples and values that define his race, including respect and courtesy to enemies. Of the two personalities, one being the strong silent type; who keeps solely to himself, trusts very few, and can become incredibly ruthless at times, while the other being a kinder more lighthearted side of himself, he chooses to follow his more primal state of mind.
As a race, the Dragonknight possess a strong sense of independence and self-worth, but most however do not view this as a need to break away from society as other individuals might, but rather to shape it for the better through their own unique strengths and weaknesses. Likewise, The Dragonknight sees himself as responsible for those around him, the group ultimately reflecting on the individual. In this way the successes and failures of each member of his team are the failures and successes of the group they associate with, giving him a very collective sense of self while allowing the others of his group to retain their individuality. Ultimately, he holds himself accountable for his choice of allies and poor judgment is considered no excuse for failing to uphold the standards all Dragonknight hold themselves to.

[Weapons]

The Dragon Fang

- A legendary five foot sword forged in the flames of the Lost Society; fabled to have been made by Tiamat herself, practically indestructible and has the capability of becoming a conduit for the powerful Dragonic force he is able to cast; this can only be accomplished by speaking in his native tongue. The blade is the only memory he has of his once mighty race and can only be wielded by him. Can be summoned to him by calling out it's true name.

The Triforce Gun

- A fully customized jet black three barreled gun, each barrel etched with faintly glowing Dragonic symbols; each symbol representing that of Fire, Ice and Lightning. This firearm is unique in it's own way for it has no need for standard ammunition and runs off the unlimited Dragonic force that courses through his veins. It is always holstered on his left side.

{Origin Info/Details}

Born into royalty and the most powerful race known to man, the Dragonknights; guardian-bearing warriors who possess the soul, blood and abilities of a dragon, Draku is the only known surviving member of his kind. In years long past a wicked dictator, by the name of Evil Brimstone, invaded their lands with seemingly endless hordes of super powered demons; destroying everything and sparing no one in his path. It was in a failed attempt at ending the fighting with no further bloodshed that Draku's father, the mightiest Dragonknight since their ancestors, had fallen. In the fiery aftermath of what was left of his homeland, he made his way to the altar where his people had prayed to The Mighty Tiamat; Mother of All Dragons, for the power to avenge his family and friends. In response to his prayers Tiamat sent to him the guardian known as Bahumat the Harvester of Souls, a legendary black dragon responsible for devouring the souls of his fallen brethren in an attempt to gain ultimate power, granting Draku the strength and abilities of every soul within the Harvester's realm. His guardian’s darkness and thirst for power has merged with Draku’s rage, thus tainting his once pure soul. Due to his guardian's dark past, Draku's own soul can never escape him; he has died countlessly, but has risen from the dead time and time again.

{Hero Type} Supernatural

{Power Level} World Level

{Powers}

Elementalist

- Possesses the ability to summon the raw power of the elements and command them at will. Capable of inflicting more damage in a single strike than any other of his professions. This ability has come as a second nature to him and has no need for any sort of preparation to unleash this devestating power.

Close Quarters Combat

- A type of fighting in which he can engage the enemy with personal weapons at very short range, potentially to the point of hand-to-hand combat or fighting with hand weapons such as swords or knives. He is incredibly skilled in this style of fighting; making him extremely proficient with his fists and a master of bladed weapons.

Feral Sense

- His senses of sight, smell, and hearing are all superhumanly acute. He can see with perfect clarity at greater distances, even in near-total darkness. His hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, allowing him to both hear sounds others cannot and also hear to greater distances. He is able to use his sense of smell to track targets by scent, even if the scent has been eroded somewhat over time by natural factors.

Superhuman Strength

- Possesses the potential for limitless physical strength giving him the ability to take massive amounts of damage, resistance to most forms of injury, capability of punching through the strongest of metals and lifting several tons of weight above his head with very little straining.

Accelerated Healing

- His body is permanently shrouded in a powerful Dragonic aura that allows him to recover from seemingly mortal wounds. Injuries that would be deadly to most, take just a short time for him to recover from; time varies from a few seconds to several minutes, according to the severity of the wound.

Elemental Regeneration

- The ability to recreate lost or damaged tissues, organs and limbs by using any available element in his vicinity.

Elemental Augmentation

- The ability to augment his physical condition by reinforcing his body with various elements.

Elemental Reincarnation

- If one were to succeed in ending his life, one of several events would occur: a large bolt of lightning striking him causing a fiery explosion; immolating his form to ash, freezing to the very core of his form; shattering into thousands of tiny ice crystals or disintegrating into earth slowly from the inside out; blood pouring like sand until his form dissipates into nothing but dust. The planet itself would restore his physical being after such an event; using every element on it to do so.

Dragon's Rage

- When pushed to a certain limit, he can enter a state of being known as Dragon's Rage. In this form, he takes on certain physical attributes of his guardian dragon; glowing green dragon-like optics, huge battle-worn wings, wickedly curved horns, and a highly significant increase in strength; both physically and 'magically'.

The Harvester of Souls

- Due to the power of his guardian spirit, he is granted the innate ability to strike at the very life force of an opponent; often channeled through his natural elemental prowess giving the conjured element a certain green hue, and is highly capable of sapping the very will to survive from any living soul. This ability is especially deadly to all Dragon kind and those of Dragonic decent, capable of empowering him with the souls and abilities of any dragon slain by this power. Due to this connection with his guardian, The Dragonknight's soul is immortal and unattainable by all means.

{Sample Post}

Thousands of years had seemingly gone by as The Dark Legacy ruled his vast wasteland. Only the strongest of the civilizations had survived. Enemies were now allies. Allies were now enemies. The world had gone into chaos. Nothing was the same. More so. No one was the same. All but the mightiest of the Dragonknights fell. To no ones surprise.

Draku Rodriguez sat atop the ancient marble throne, black as the night and trimmed with gold, an empty expression upon his hardened features. His eyes stayed locked onto the center of his throne room, only one thought weighing heavily on his mind. He no longer wished to war. He had lost all hope for this world. His world.

'You’ve grown soft Dragonknight...' the thunderous voice within his mind would echo, 'You allowed this fate.'

The words would haunt him. It could only be true. This happened under his lead. He was the one who brought the tyrant Evil the key. He unleashed D.L.

He was to blame.

Draku rose from his throne deep in thought. He knew of only Kumori Conquest’s survival and even he had seemed to disappear. Who else had survived? There was a good possibility that Marduk and the Dragonwraiths made it through D.L.’s onslaught, but how far did his influence reach? Who all had The Dark Legacy corrupted?

Questions upon questions seemed to spill from the depths of his mind. But why? What was he planning?

He strode through the empty corridors of his family’s palace with these thoughts constantly driving themselves deep into his conscious, he probably should do something. Perhaps bring together all who survived. The strongest would have survived. Right? He did.

This is a vestige from the old version of this RP site. It's there in the hopes that the ability to color the text will be possible in the future.

Resources

Although you would have to wait on NMS to get the official answer, I do believe resources means how wealthy the character is and how many resources they have (like extra ammunition, weapons, etc). At least that's how I understood it when I did my characters.

For instance, since Raptor and Arachne are college students, both have minimal resources. However, since Iron Knight is Tony Stark rich, he haw more money and resources at his disposal.

I'm interested to see this character in our modern setting. Approved. And yes, Resources refers to money and such. You can always add that later

[Draku69]

As far as origin arcs go... What do you mean? And I also wouldn't mind having a banner for when I post!

We are just talking about a solo arc so that your character does not get bogged down in team ups.

[Dedonus]

Okay. Post might be tomorrow because some drama went down in another thread (same one as last time >.<).

[Draku69]

Ok. But as far as the orgins aspect goes though, is it supposed to be how I got started in... What was it? Lost Haven?

[VATROU]

I won't be getting a post up for a few days, I'm pretty busy this week, and the only time I seem to be able to write up a post is on my days off. Which are at the end of this week. I mentioned the giant flaming monster, can't remember who the RPer is for him. Anyways for now Ramsey will be on his own Arc, that is until Nightmare shows up again, and Ramsey becomes aware of him. Which he will through bits and pieces, nothing solid just rumors circulating. Also here's a look into a new Villain for Ramsey, Hired by a certain someone?

I'm calling him Wub-Wub. And he uses Dubstep as a weapon, a human Dubstep gun. Similar to the one in Saints Row 4. I'm having a little fun with this one.

It can be how your character got started in Lost Haven or it could be any solo arc involving your character. This is advised so that you can flesh out your character before throwing him into character interactions.

For instance, my first character, Raptor, had several posts about how he got his powers and what happened afterwards. It took several posts before Zac (i.e. Raptor) and Kelly had any interaction with other characters. Iron Knight, on the other hand, only had two or three posts before he interacted with other characters (Mercy, STRIKE, etc.). If you look through the IC, you will see fewer (and shorter) posts for Iron Knight because of character interaction. Arachne is in a middle ground. She started off with character interaction, but they were all my characters, so I wasn't restricted to having to interaction with other player's characters.

This is how I view it.

[Dedonus]

Also, for Marra's post, you would have to wait for NMS to response. We probably would have appreciated if you would have told us before hand so that we could work out all the details, but I would wait for NMS's response before you go on any further.

[Dedonus]

Post up.

[NeutralNexus]

Holy crap, I remember this RP! Nitemare Shape, do you remember anyone by the name of Swordsavior? Or War-Pulse? I was in this RP before the guild went down! Could I by any chance start up the character again and continue on where I was?
