The Ghoul

Character you have created: Margaret Anne Haefield
Alias: The Ghoul

Character Alignment: Villain

Character Personality: Psychotic, Childish, Cunning, Deceptive, Intelligent
Uniform/costume:

In the Flesh

Margaret has reversed in her age since her death and now looks considerably younger than when she passed. In fact, she has regressed to the point where she looks like a teenager and if it wasn’t for the bleached, raggedy hair and pale, sickly skin one might confuse her for a teen. Her uniform just boils down to whatever she can find that fits.
Origin Info/Details:
Margaret Haefield was one of the greatest minds in the modern era for neuropathic studies. It was her work that managed to propel modern medicine into a new era as some other leading experts called it and her work was used to fight and cure many neurological diseases. However her passion was an obsession and it was noted that her labor intensive practices constantly put her health at risk as she often forewent food and sleep.
About two years ago, Margaret was working on a unique project that was supposed to stimulate the brain to increase human tissue regrowth. The end goal was to eventually be able to allow humans to cheat death naturally, but the project was doomed from the start. Various setbacks and conditions of red-tape had stagnated the project to the point where eventually Margaret was given a week to succeed or the whole thing would be canceled. Seeing as this project was also her vegetable of a husband’s last chance, she was dedicated to seeing her project through.
In the end the project was a failure but not due to the deadline. The project ended two days before then as Margaret had exposed herself to the mutagen and her body underwent violent stress before she eventually passed away. Many believed she accidently made a mistake in her sleep deprivation and exposed herself but others support that she purposely exposed herself out of desperation. Whatever the case, she had been exposed and was pronounced dead at the scene. Her body hauled away and the whole project terminated. Her husband remained
Her death was officially four years ago. As it turns out, Margaret ended up coming back alive but at this point she was no longer the same old Margaret. After being dead for years, Margaret had lost grip of reality and her mind, either corroded or corrupted, fell to madness and has finally crawled out of her coffin.

Hero Type (Select one): Zombie Monster
Power Level: City Level
Powers:Super Strength, Rapid Regeneration, Bodily Manipulation, Bloodlust

Margaret’s experimentation on herself worked and her body’s limit has been vastly improved upon. Her improved strength allows her to lift and toss small cars with relative ease.
Rapid Regeneration is just how it sounds. Margaret’s body rapidly recovers wounds, disease, poison, and so forth. That’s not to say she isn’t affected by such things, quite the contrary, as Margaret feels every bit of it. Recovery for injuries can occur within minutes but can take up to 24 hours depending upon the amount and severity of injury sustained. During periods of recovery, Margaret is often noted as lethargic and tired as her regeneration saps her physical strength. Recovery for severe injuries can reduce Margaret to a sickly comatose state for a time period as her body works intensely to recover the damage done. It should also be noted that any foreign material, like shards of bullets, will have to be removed. Her regeneration has also had the uncanny effect of reversing her aging so she has reverted to appearing much younger than what she actually is.

Bodily Manipulation works in tandem with Margaret’s regeneration ability and her regeneration is crucial to her survival if she were to use her Bodily Manipulation power on herself. This power manifests itself as her being able to consciously control the formation of her own biological material. The result is that Margaret is capable of morphing her body into a weapon of bone and flesh. For example, she could manipulate the structure of her arm to form a crude blade made from her bones or she could sprout two bony fangs from her mouth. As you can imagine, her power is quite… repugnant to many.

Finally, her Bloodlust is an unconscious drive for blood. The sight of it drives her feral and her increase in aggression is directly related to just how bloody an altercation could get. Her savagery only amplifies her strength and speed as she appears to get ‘hungrier’ for blood but she doesn’t actually have to drink it. In fact, she doesn’t really need anything to sustain her at this point. She’s entirely self-sustaining.

There is an interesting interaction that happens between these of these powers. Namely, Margaret’s own conscious changes to her body will not be undone by her more unconscious regeneration, but rather, it will assist in the process greatly. As you can imagine, altering someone’s body in such a way would cause all sorts of problems like bleeding out, shock to the system and so on. However with Margaret’s regeneration, her body can readily adapt to those extreme changes without the negative impact. The only exception is that the process is still quite painful as nerves twist and turn along with the rest of her body. But the payoff from this power can be huge.
There are also some other creative strategies that Margaret utilizes. She learned that she could remove sections of her brain and plant that into a fresh human corpse in order to control the living dead. Essentially real zombies, right down to the slow shuffling feet and the need to eat living flesh. With bits of her mind implanted into those corpses, she can strategically use them for a variety of uses. A meatshield? A distraction? Or maybe a clumsy getaway driver? The possibilities are endless. Stopping them is just how you’d expect, blow out their brains.

Attributes (Select one at each category):

Strength Level: 40T
Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 40 MPH
Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: Unharmed = limitless, wounded = depends on wound
Agility: 10X
Intelligence: Genius
Fighting Skill: Untrained

Resources: None
Weaknesses:The best strategies to take Margaret on aren’t too complex, albeit that incapacitating her is easier than killing her. She’ll still sustain damage and harm as severe wounds need time to heal. Aiming to inflict heavy damage upon Margaret could give one victory. Electricity still has an effect on Margaret and something as simple as a Taser can halt her dead in her tracks. Fire is another way to heavily impede and damage Margaret as the whole process of burning is quiet painful.
Supporting Characters (Does your character have a significant other? A mother? Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?):

Emil Haefield - 39 Years old, has been in a coma for the past six years, whereabouts unknown, no records of him passing if he ever did

Do you know how to post pictures on RPG boards?: Yes
Sample Post:

"♫ One bod, two bod, three bod, four! ♫" A rather soft, cheery voice echoed in a darkened room, lit only by the glowing full moonlight creeping in through the small upper windows of the small tiled morgue. The moonlight illuminated the blue-haired singer as she pranced around the room, weaving in between the cold lifeless bodies all laid out on metal tables in the center of the room.

"♫ Five bod, six bod, seven bod, more! ♫" The blue-haired singer continued but her prancing finally stopped as she hovered a sloppily placed corpse. The singer's eyes appeared to twinkle in the moonlight as she licked her lips in anticipation for what was about to come... and then it did.

The blue-haired singer reached around to draw a dirty looking scalpel and waved it just over the corpse as if teasing it with what was about to come. Then she harshly jabbed the scalpel into the eye of the corpse, twisting and digging causing stagnant fluids to slowly drip out. Once she was pleased with her work, she excitedly leapt to the next body to perform the exact same procedure and so on as she continued for each of her corpses, 7 in total.

Finished she discarded the scalpel and skipped over towards the corpse where she had begun. She reached down to pick up her second tool, a hammer, and inspected it carefully as if this would have more precision than her scalpel. The hammer apparently passed her test and raised it up, waving it in the air like it was trophy. Then without any second thought she bent down to place her head on the metal operating table and began bashing the side of her skull with her own hammer. Bits of her brain exploded out as her super strength wrecked her head but after after a few hits she stopped, apparently pleased.

She lifted her broken skull but remarkably, it was rapidly putting itself back together. Sections of her brain were replaced by a sudden resurgence of new bio-material before her head was back to normal.

Once she recovered, she reached around and rubbed the side of her head to inspect that everything was right where she wanted it. Satisfied, she returned to the operation at hand. She gathered up all the little bits of her brain and delicately placed a piece into each of the corpses' eyes. It took only a minute for each corpse to register the foreign anomaly and they suddenly sprang to life with pained, gasping moans. The dead had risen and they were ready for their newfound lives.

So I kind of cheated but oh well. Hopefully it meets standards.

@Pirouette

Approved

[nitemare shape]

@FacePunch Radiance will be ready to go back whenever's convenient for you. Or instead of having a post of him coming to get her, I could always just mention that he got her back when I posted next, whatever you want to do.

[FacePunch]

@nitemare shapeWhichever comes first, I guess. But dayum. Radiance is a badass. "Oh, bruised ribs and can barely walk? LEMME BACK IN THE GAME, COACH."

I have read well past that point and I am still here.

@Dedonus

You're also a GM now. :p

[VATROU]

Right. Any tips on where or who to start with?

@Pirouette

I dunno. We got Undead in the sewers of NY and a bunch of supernatural happenings there. Maybe Hellis might be interested in a Zombie/Dragur Colab with his Necromancer NPC. Other than that you could establish yourself as a threat.

[Hellis]

Ghoul is gonna give me Nightmares. :D

We can go bump in the night.

[Hellis]

@Pirouette Hildebrand would likely work with well With Ghoul. Ghould could hide in the ranks of her Draugr and work as a suprise attack :D

@Hellis

I don't know who those people are yet, but sure! Sounds like a plan!

[fdeviant]

Y'know, I might take this opportunity to sort of briefly cross arcs if that's fine with the runners of Pax and Natural Selection. Have White Witch come to, go to the Red Devil to gather a few things to help her against the Silver Sorceress, be told about Joseoh being gone and Holt being dismissed.

Thoughts?

[DearTrickster]

@fdeviantI'd be fine with that. If The White Witch got inklings of what Joseph is up to while she's trying to fight the Sorceress, it'll be easier for her to refer or to be aware of what is happening with Joseph.

But as far as the Natural Selections Arc goes you'll have to double check with Fallen :). It is her baby <3.

@fdeviant

I have no issues with a cross over. It might allow her to get into the arc, after the Pax one, much easier or at least seek out those involved to get answers over what happened depending on how Joseph fairs. Right now the Heroes have about 2 days to stop Rach from being transported where she’s going to be dropped off somewhere randomly. This includes Joseph as I think, even with the trap, you could cover him experiencing and struggling with it, then getting out within one post. Through you might want to check with Tricks as it is her trap.

@Fallenreaper

I was in this game more than a year before I became a GM. ;)

@fdeviant: That's done.

[Hellis]

@fdeviant

RUN INTO BROOKER WHILE AT THE RED DEVIL. HAVE A INTERESTING CHAT ABOUT STUFF

@Hellis

Lol who do you want to run into him?

[Fallenreaper]

<Snipped quote by Hellis>

Lol who do you want to run into him?

@fdeviant

I think, personally, it might be fun to have Joseph meet the Broker at some point. Though that's my thoughts. XD

[Pirouette]

So I'm like halfway down with a post but err... Should I do something with Ghoul to encourage an encounter with someone or something?

[Fallenreaper]

@fdeviant: Alright, would it be alright to have your arrival happen around the last minute of Odette's portal's creation? This would allow a back and forth between a few players that happened before White Witch arrived and also past some needed time to make the scene more dramatic. It would also prevent them from arriving during a bunch of intense reactions and actions which might influence your PC's last post, drastically.

One way, and likely the best, would be to alter the ending. It might be better to have both of them watching for a moment, since Joseph did walk in and get his ass whooped, to determine who they need to help. With Melon's last post, it makes it pretty clear Rach is in danger without any questions being asked and allows for you to post again sooner.

[fdeviant]

@Fallenreaper Yeah, that'll be fine.
