Legacy: The Fourth Reich [WWIII/Superhuman RP] iCheck

[LovelyAnastasia]

Yes you should! It is hilarious!

[Bluetommy]

I'm interested

[Omega Man]

Probably gonna trade in my Rocketeer remake for somebody with actual powers. Just trying to find an idea/concept I haven't already written to death in a half dozen other characters...

~KL~

[Double]

@The Kid Lantern I don't ever recall you using any magic characters...? As far as I remember, they've mostly been Metahumans. I think. I could be wrong, though. *shrug*

[LovelyAnastasia]

What about a mutant, like from X-Men? They have more fantasical powers~ Or something like a normal human who loans his body to a mystic being? Or has an heirloom that give him mystic powers?

[rocketrobie2]

Hey guys, can I get your opinions on what character concept I should use? I've narrowed it down to two that I really like.

The first and probably my fall guy if my second idea gets shot down is a quasi-heroic Mysterio who has a lot of gadgets to simulate wizardry and stuff but have no actual magic of his own. Gonna be stuff like hallucinogenic gas, very realistic holographic projections and few more useful items in combat such as a electrified coat and wrist guns or something.

My next idea is wolverine's son Dakken (I think thats right?), a legacy character of Wolverine but with a twist that I'm gonna keep hush about though it requires me to ask @The Kid Lantern if its alright to go for it. He'd have bone claws, enhanced senses and healing (though not as OP as Wolverine's) plus a range of other wolverine-esque powers.

[Omega Man]

The idea of a good Mysterio sounds cool, I can't stand Wolverine or his affiliates though aside from Sabretooth.

As for my new guy, I'm really digging the Torch of Liberty with the idea his successor actually has powers [however limited] like fire generation/manipulation from his hands. Nothing's for certain right now.

I also apologize the OOC/IC is taking a bit longer to finish. It's race week in my area and I'm working mandatory OT through Sunday. Then the biggest football game ever will be played in the speedway with something like 180,000 people in the area [3-5X the traffic we deal with during races] and that's coming up the 10th of September...

Saturday night I hope to not be as tired so I can get some writing done.

~KL~

[Omega Man]

<<< I've got a look for my successor to the Torch of Liberty at least. Probably just shorten it to 'Torch' though.

Anybody else still want in on this while there's time to get in before an OOC/IC gets started?

~KL~

[ProjectOdin]

Eh, I'll probably jump in.

EDIT:

Fission

Legacy: Neutron

WW II Predecessor: Nathaniel Tyron

Name: Paul Tyron

Alias: Fission

Relationship to Predecessor: Great-Grandson

Age: 18

Powers/Skills/Equipment:
Lacking a physical form, Fission is a sentient cloud of nuclear energy, furiously unstable and with the tendency to explode, he is contained in a hazmat suit of his own creation, allowing him to release controlled amounts of his own unstable form to serve as weapons or to give him flight. Even without emitting radiation, Fission strikes with the power of a nuclear blast.

Even if his suit is destroyed, Fission is still dangerous, if not moreso, as immediately after he is freed, the contained nuclear energy is released in a massive nuclear blast that doesn't even harm the man himself. Able to inhabit any hazmat suit he desires, Fission can easily reconstruct his own suit should it be destroyed.

Weaknesses:
Fission is not very intelligent, and is very, very, insane. His powers are also quite incontinent, though he is able to control them to an extent. Fission is containable, and if he is contained long enough, he will fade and stop existing.

Predecessor's History:
Born in Brookford, Virginia, Nathaniel Tyron showed patriotism from a young age, joining the US army voluntarily soon after he graduated college with a chemistry doctorate, his interest in the field serving more as a hobby than anything else.

Nathaniel ended up serving in invasions of Pacific islands, where he witnessed horrible death and destruction, even feeling sorry for his Japanese opponents, despite this, he pushed onward, fighting ever harder.

Eventually, during one such battle, he suffered multiple shots from a Japanese machine gun, wounded horribly, he was sent to Hawaii where his condition stabilized and actually improved slightly, the American military, searching for candidates to serve as empowered heroes, decided that Nathaniel was the most suitable candidate for a special project they had been planning, due to his stable condition and extreme patriotism.

Going through a multitude of treatments and surgeries, Nathaniel was grafted with a miniature prototype nuclear reactor inserted into his chest, one of the first products of the Manhattan Project's secret super-human branch. With the nuclear power sent around his body using crude piping inserted into his limbs, Nathaniel became able to fire nuclear energy from his arms, legs, and face, as well as having the ability to serve as a nuclear bomb should it ever become necessity.

Unstable and always one step away from death, Nathaniel embraced his new form, serving in the invasion of Okinawa to great renown with the new name of Neutron.

However, once the war ended, Nathaniel's nuclear reactor suffered a catastrophic failure and began leaking radiation into his body, it was discovered that the integrity of the reactor was failing, and meltdown was near imminent. With only weeks left, the former Neutron boarded a submarine, giving one last goodbye to his wife and infant son, he boarded the craft and left in a small vessel, drifting away into the Pacific Ocean. Radio contact was lost an hour after he left the submarine, and the crew reported hearing an enormous bang, followed by immense waves, until contact was lost with them too, expected due to the EMP produced, operators in Washington waited for hours for the radio to turn back on, only for silence.

Nathaniel's last recorded words were a somber "God bless the USA."

BRIEF Bio:

Born in Virginia, Paul Tyron was named after the christian Saint Paul, with elder brothers Nathaniel the Third and Peter, and one younger brother by the name of John.

Paul was always told of his Great-Grandfather's virtue and heroism, and Paul grew to be a patriot in his own right, unfortunately, he had been born into the rule of the Fourth Reich, growing up under a rule which he hated and which deliberately attacked American culture at every turn.

Paul grew up a troubled child, with insane episodes and seizures leaving him a sickly and crazed wreck who was trapped in a body slowly dying of cancer. Paul dropped out of high school and decided to spend the last years of his life fighting the German regime, he had nothing to lose, for he was set to die anyway.

Robbing from a multitude of government subsidies and assaulting high ranking officials, Paul was burgling from a nuclear power plant, stealing from right next to the facility's core, when it suffered a catastrophic meltdown and detonated in a massive fireball.

Thought vaporized by the explosion, Paul emerged a small, sentient, fallout cloud. Having been at the very epicenter of the explosion, Paul was confused as to how he was alive, eventually realizing the truth, and going completely mad.

Discovering that the meltdown had been deliberately caused by the Fourth Reich in an attempt to clear up loose ends, Fission entered a hazmat suit and sought out those responsible, killing them all and developing his own suit in the style of Master Man. Fission, now secure in his own power, set off on a quest to free America, and kill all those who walked in front of him.

[Omega Man]

@bluetommy2 I should've been more clear in the opening post when I said Green Lantern is off the table, cause honestly with the game being tied to WWII I was only thinking about the classic Alan Scott interpretation and nothing dealing with the Corps, aliens, etc. If this was just a straight up DCU RP, I'd want something like this in there. However something this cosmic doesn't really jibe with what I'm planning to do in the RP with the villains and the Nazi superman Master Man.

~KL~

[Bluetommy]

@The Kid Lantern Ah, got it, kinda expected that, to the point where I have a back-up, I'll edit it in shortly.

[Omega Man]

Finished my new guy...

__________________________

Legacy: the Torch of Liberty

WWII Predecessor: Paul Gibney

Name: Alan Pierce

Alias: the Torch, Torch of Liberty II

Relationship to Predecessor: None. Alan saw a picture of the WWII hero and patterned a similar updated suit. However, in this retrofitted universe, the original Torch of Liberty will likely take the Capt. America type role when it comes to this world.

Age:27

Powers/Skills/Equipment:

* Fire Generation/Manipulation - Alan can currently create fire from his hands and shoot it
like a flame thrower or shoot compacted bursts of flame hadoken style. This will likely
develop further but nothing too crazy or OP.

* Fire Resistance - Heat and fire don't bother Alan at all. His body is almost one with the
fire around him.

Weaknesses:

* Basic weaknesses of a standard human in light body armor.
* Water and other substances can hinder the 'Torch's abilities for varied times.

Appearance:



Predecessor's History:

After his military unit was captured and tortured by Nazi's while in France, Paul managed to free himself and several other POW's to fight off their captors. Paul was the last man standing and held his dying brother in arms who exclaimed he had a fire in his eyes when he was fighting. 'Paul' died that day and he assumed the identity of the Torch of Liberty and helped turn the tides of war. He fought several key players in the Axis Powers, and continued to free POWs through the end of the war.

In December of 1944, the Torch along with the US Army went into the English Midlands to foil a Nazi experiment to create the perfect super soldier. Project Uber Man was shut down, but after the Torch threw Agent Schmidt into a rip in space time. These events will eventually deal with the coming of Master Man.

Nobody knows what happened to this old man [Gibney] who'd be in his 90's in the context of the game. It's assumed he just got old and died.

BRIEF Bio:

Alan was your average guy. Never did much in life. Flunked out of college with a dual major in journalism and theater. He kept in reasonably good shape and once upon a time he was one of the top Boy Scouts in his hometown of Ashwood, TN. He recently developed superhuman powers, able to do things with fire.

The invasion of D.C. came seemingly from nowhere. Within minutes the Axis army of Master Man teleported into the region, while other Nazi superhumans deactivated the nation's nuclear weapons. The armies marched on DC for days killing all those who would stand against them, and Master Man himself executed the President on live television ripping the woman in half.

The military and National Guard have tried for weeks to make a way back into the capital and gain ground but their efforts have all amounted to nothing. If the human armies of the Axis/Nazi superhumans falter one of the superhuman generals steps in.

Alan knew he couldn't sit on the sidelines. He read stories about the heroes during WWII and anything he might use against the super Nazi invaders. Alan took inspiration from the Torch of Liberty when making his own suit and headed for the capital city.

Additional Notes:

Alan's had powers for maybe three weeks tops. However being in the shape he's in and being in the Scouts in his younger years helped him successfully save several POWs just like the man he drew inspiration from. Now it's time to take on some of the super Axis/Nazi generals and take the fight to Master Man.

Yeah I think I'm gonna like this dude. Everybody ready to get an OOC going before the weekend's end at least? LOL

~KL~

[LovelyAnastasia]

I wanna fite.

fite me

[rocketrobie2]

@bluetommy2 I love fission's appearance picture.

[Double]

Yeah I think I'm gonna like this dude. Everybody ready to get an OOC going before the weekend's end at least? LOL

~KL~

@The Kid Lantern

Yep.

Since I guess it won't bother anyone, I decided to stick to the Mighty Atom name. Still trying to work out what he should look like, though.

[Bluetommy]

@rocketrobie2He looks like the man in the moon from Le Voyage dans la Lune, either that or a trollface :P.

He may be receiving a superman punch too, so that's cool.

[Double]

I think I've found Atom's look. Or, at least the closest to what I imagine.

Hider

First of all, this was an extremely lucky find, since the design incorporates the letters M as well as A as emblems, easily representative for his name: Mighty Atom. I also like how this features a white and black color pallet. The white could his normal "Combat Mode", but then he could also be able to swap to the black one as a pseudo "Stealth Mode" for more covert operations. Finally, just imagine the helmet either being removable or it simply retracts to reveal his face, to give him a more photogenic look for public appearances and whatnot. His hair - though obviously just a cosmetic choice - would be short and blond, same as the man who inspired the design of his face, and likely kept in a strict military-regulated style.

[Bluetommy]

@Double That's an amazing find, I always struggle to find good images. :(

[Omega Man]

I always make my own LOL

I'm working in a titanpad on the OOC opening post. It'll be some of the details from the OP of this thread, the accepted players/characters list, GM Notes, etc. Once the OOC's everyone accepted needs to repost their CS's in the Character tab so we can get the IC going in the next couple days.

Here's the titanpad if anybody wants to stop by...
