[OOC] The Young Devils [Teenage Super Villains roleplay]

[Weird Tales]

"We're young and we're bad"

---

Welcome, so I thought about doing a roleplay where our characters are teenage super villains. There are many Teen Titans and Young Justice roleplays on the Guild, but ones with teenage Super Villains don't seem to come around often. So the Young Devils are a team of bad teens who commit all sorts of crimes ranging from thievery to murder and many other types of crimes. Members are villains for various reasons, but the team's goal is to get money, power and become the most infamous teams known to superheroes. In this world superheroes and super villains exist alongside the team. It is simple, heroes are enemies and other villains can be both potential allies and enemies.

The story
To keep it simple, our characters are young independent villains who may or may not know each other, but they are brought together by a strange entity that can hack into any electronic and there is nowhere our characters can hide without it finding them. With the threat of exposure and being incarcerated for life, our characters have no choice, but to be on the team. The entity's real identity is unknown, is it a human hacker, an alien or demon? That is a mystery. It only goes by the name The Presence and it demands obedience and knows our characters' deepest secrets. But with the promise of fortunes, murder and power, The Presence offers many rewards for the team members' loyalty and service.

rules
No god-modding

OCs only

This rp is low casual so I won't go full grammar Nazi on you, but I expect decent grammar and no one line posts.

No speed posting.

No heated arguments in the OOC

Be respectful

I am lenient on violence and profanity, but don't go too far that it makes the rp unapproachable for players.

Be creative

The character sheet section is for accepted characters only

Have fun

Getting an app up soon! I'll be using pretty blatant art of spiral from the X-Men, although other than the arms I doubt she'll be very much like her.

[PatrickDrummer]

Was actually about to ask when the OOC was gonna be up, but now I'll just be working on a CS should be up later tonight.

@Weird Tales have you seen my deliberations about doubting if my idea of "biological mad genius" would be compatible with this game if people are going to go all-out and I will have to follow them, which will result in much body horror?

Should i post it in Characters already? Also, just so that's clear, i will only use the telefrag power on mooks or to maim the important characters, never to instakill unless the most horrible and life-endangering shit goes down. Justified by a superhuman psychosis and general state of his mind.

Loud Love

Alias: Loud Love

Age: 14

Gender: Male

Appearance: Young, pale and lithe boy with somewhat unproportionately long limbs and slightly elongated oval-shaped cranium - but nothing far beyond the norm. Appealing, slightly effeminate face, wider-than-usual hips, small hands and long, long hair reaching slightly below the hip might help to mistake him for a girl, but the falseness of that assessment is proven really easily, seeing as he does not wear any sort of clothing whatsoever due to the nature of his power - however, some parts of his skin, especially chest, temples and the zone around the mouth are covered in strange, black tatto-like patterns of complex geometrical figures.

Personality: Vicious, Playful, Whimsical but Loyal, Confiding

Powers: Explosive Teleportation, Increased Durability, Super-Sight.
Explosive Teleportation - Loud Love's body and brain generate a fantastic field of quantum instability that allows him to essentially be in many points of space at once due to a specific sort of probability manipulation - at least that is how he himself explains his ability. Whenever he makes a conscious or unconscious effort of will, the field agitates the fabric of time-space and then, faster than in a blink of an eye, without any buildup, special effects or strange sounds except for one, Loud Love just ceases to exist in one point and immediately appears in the another place of his choosing.
What makes this already potent power a truly horrible force, however, is the fact that matter and objects at the destination point of the teleportation do not just change places with Loud Love or cease to be. Instead they are extremely violently displaced in the direction and vector of his choosing - for example, if he teleports into a wall or even a free space that is filled with nothing but air, the volume of rock, air or metal equal to the volume of his body is very quickly pushed away from it's previous position to make place for Loud Love, and he can effectively control the shape and direction in which all this material will be shot out. It is possible to concentrate all of the displaced material into an very thin 'ray' that will be utterly terrifying in it's penetrating power or force it to be expelled in an explosion all around him, take shape of a cone or wide line. A very fancy-looking technique that Loud Love implements, partially for show and partially as protection from enemy fire is a series of lightning-fast teleportations that make up an impression of him moving frame-by-frame, each new jump accompanied by an extremely powerful blast of air that might even put out a person's eye at close range.

Of course, the ability can also be used on living targets, with obvious gruesome and almost hopelessly fatal effects - an especially jolly show that Loud Love likes to put on is teleporting so that only his finger or fist is phasing inside of a person's head, with a compressed jet of brain and bone immediately rupturing forth out of his temple or crown of the head.
The only drawback discovered by Loud Love yet is that he can only teleport himself, without any sort of clothing or gear on his person.

At the point of his departure, air quickly fills in the emptiness left by Love's body, producing a sound somewhat like a thunderclap.

(If it is required, i also have an actual weakness for this power. Say a word and i'll add it.)

Increased Durability - Loud Love's flesh is incredibly dense, his blood pressure is very high - though his wounds close quickly, not allowing for lots of blood loss - and his system excels a normal human's one in general endurance and durability - while nowhere near the levels of actual "brick" superhumans, it is enough to compensate for sudden and often drastic pressure changes that come after teleportations, cold that he suffers without clothing and sometimes save him from a small-caliber bullet in soft tissue.

Super-Sight - Loud Love posesses better-than-perfect sight and sense of perspective, able to view minute details at quite long distances, see at night and notice slightest changes in observed scenery. This is absolutely essential for the use of his power, which requires a big deal of precision and concentration to teleport over large distances or through any sort of semi-transparent obstacles, such as smoke or glass. Additionally, Loud Love posesses lightning-quick reflexes, allowing him to almost subconsciously teleport out of the way of some blows and lines of fire - oh, and makes him extremely suitable for being a marksman.

Equipment: None, obviously - though sometimes he uses something that he can pick up at the moment.

Short Bio: He was a pretty okay boy - somewhat of delinquent but a nice kid at heart. Got bullied sometimes for his looks but not nearly often enough to traumatize him. Suffered from some parental neglect but it didn't bring him low. Had a GREAT interest for music and really, really loved and adored a particular pop star, very very hard. Once they had a show in his small town, but oh, great sadness - he couldn't afford the ticket! So the guy came as close to the open-topped concert hall as he could, climbed on top of some nearby building and watched the performance from there with infinite glee, wishing so, so very hard that maybe by some miracle he could be there, on stage as close to his idol as it was possible~
The wish was granted immediately as the guy suddenly warped inside of his most favorite artist in the whole world and burst out of him in a shower of gore and guts - and then, he proceeded to teleport into every single place that he cast his gaze upon, always with horribly deadly results because he first of all turned his attention to people, trying to ask for help. Now THIS - this traumatized him alright. The murderous teleportating escapade went on for many hours and half of the globe until it finally stopped when the kid fell asleep. After that came a year or two of hiding from the authorities and people, with every attempt to reenter society resulting in another disaster that happened every time he became strongly agitated until at some point the guy just snapped and went off the deep end after a period of fugue and crippling depression and became what he is now.

Other: Thinking about it.

@Eyeruption

he's good to go so put him in the character sheet section

[BurningCold]

Assuming I'd make a character here, can my character be a demon/monster-ish sort of creature in a teenager's body? @Weird Tales

[Eyeruption]

@BurningCold
Not to sound like i'm the smartest guy ever or anything but your description just gave me a fucking idea.
What about a power that makes you a silent, nigh-invisible and murderfuckerous super-monster when nobody sees you BUT when someone manages to catch a glimpse of you and concentrate his vision on you for some time they see through the monster and notice that that thing that just ripped ten elite soldiers to bloody shreds is just a teenager and he has to escape everyone's sight in order to transform again.

Freyja

Name: Marsý Ísleifsdóttir
Alias: Freyja
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance: Marsý stands at 5 foot 6 and has a fit physique with a little bit of muscle being visible on her many arms. Speaking of arms, Marsý has 6 of them. 4 completely human, 1 half robotic and an entirely robotic one. Her hair is a platinum blonde, being closer to white than blonde in all honesty. Her eyes are rather bland, being a chestnut brown.
Personality: Vengeful, loyal, honourable, determined, fun-loving
Powers/skills:
Marsý's most noticeable 'power' is, of course, her 6 arms. The arms are extremely dexterous, working in tandem with each other rather than tripping over each other. Two of her arms possess super strength, the robotic ones of course.

Furthermore, her whole being is enhanced through the physiology she adopted from her parents. The aspects most enhanced though, are her agility, speed and dexterity.

Her final power she adopts solely from her father. She is able to pass through solid matter at will if the object is big enough. For example, a wall is easy pickings, while a bullet is near impossible.

Her main skill is her swordplay. She is able to use just about any sword she lays her many hands on. Furthermore, her hand to hand to hand to hand capabilities are pretty good, but then it sort of comes with having 6 hands. Other than that, her skills lie more in cooking and video games than they do in battle.
Equipment: Marsý bears the helmet of her mother when in battle. A viking-esque helm that, while good at protection, serves more as an ornament than anything else. Furthermore, she oftentimes carries swords with her into battle. These can range from katanas, to shortswords, to longswords to daggers and everything inbetween.
Short Bio: Marsý was born in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. Her parents gave her a less conventional upbringing. They sent her to school, cooked her dinner every night and taught her all they knew like any other parent. It's just a shame that all they knew was how to be a super villain. You see, Marsý's parents were Phase-O and Broodmother, the biggest super villains in Iceland, although that's hardly an accomplishment. In their daytime, they were just a normal couple, Marsý's father worked as a mechanic and her mother a scientist. Together they gave the heroes of Iceland one hell of a runaround.

That is, before, Marsý was born. They slowed down a great deal then, thinking first about their daughter and second about their villainous deeds. In fact, they very much hoped she wouldn't become a villain, and instead become a hero if she ever did gain powers. It was hugely apparent that she did have powers as soon as she was born though, as their little 6 armed baby stood out quite a bit amongst all the other babies. Unfortunately, 2 of her 6 arms were born deformed. Her parents set out to fix this, if not through medicine then through robotics. They built her cybernetic arms that intertwined with the biological parts of her body and made it feel as if they were biological in the first place.

As with any child who is different, Marsý was bullied in school. Something which her father quickly put to rest after he began teaching her how to fight. The seed of villainy was planted, and her parents, unknowingly training her to be a villain, only watered this seed with their constant lessons on sword fighting and how to use the powers she had inherited.

These lessons only increased when she discovered her power to fade through walls and the like. Her father and mother realized that she had inherited her powers from them. Something they probably should have realized a bit earlier considering Marsý's mother has six hands herself.

Her career as a villain had only just started when The Presence contacted her. Suffice to say, she's slightly annoyed but also kind of happy to be leaving Iceland for the US.
Other:
Her English isn't 100% fluent yet, but it's getting there. She still speaks with a heavy Icelandic accent.

[BurningCold]

@Eyeruption A creature that can only utilize it's powers when out of sight, and loses them if concentrated on for more than a few seconds... That seems damn intriguing.

[Eyeruption]

combo platter powers ahoy
I'm intrigued to learn who are her parents and where she got her arms from. Shit's tittilating, i can see a great story unfolding.

[Eyeruption]

@BurningCold
If it's sarcasm i'll parry with an argument that the monster form posesses stealth capabilities, the fear factor should be big in such a char's MO and a smoke bomb turns this person into a murder machine. If not sarcasm, sorry.

[Chao]

I am totally interested.

[Half Pint]

I've finished my app! The bio might be a bit boring, but I didn't really want to go for the cliche edgy backstory haha

[Eyeruption]

Also FUCK, i already like the team we've already got. Shit's evil and destructive when used in cohesion.
I still vote for naming ourselves "Splatterhouse" or "Jet Set" though.
Also, found the probable character theme

[Weird Tales]

Assuming I'd make a character here, can my character be a demon/monster-ish sort of creature in a teenager's body? @Weird Tales

@BurningCold

that's fine.

@Weird Tales yes, but would it be OK for me to go into all-out body horror or will that clash with the spirit of your game?

[Eyeruption]

@Progenitus
Oh come on. I'm the guy who explodes people from inside and Nergal's main MO is melting faces off by touching them. And Freyja here uses not one, not two but SIX very sharp swords. What do you think?

[Weird Tales]

@Weird Tales yes, but would it be OK for me to go into all-out body horror or will that clash with the spirit of your game?

@Progenitus

This is a super villain rp, of course you can go body horror. We're playing bad guys so we can go pretty dark.
