Character Name: Rear Admiral William Locke
Character Age: 46
Character Gender: Male
Appearance: Locke wears the traditional officer uniform of the United Earth Council, traditional black with the symbol of the old United Nations on his left shoulder. Medals (on dress occasion) are pinned on the front. To signify that he is Martian on his right shoulder there is the old Martian Unity emblem, below which is that of the Vitae.
Profession: Commander of Ark Vitae.
Nationality: Previously a citizen of the Martian Unity.
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Personal Effects: Very little, some photographs and clothes. He also has a collection of stones taken from Mars as his connection to home.
Bio: Martian soil was tough to live on, even post revolution. Despite advances in technology Martians still lived in domes when he was a young boy, it wasn't until he was ten that they successfully made the atmosphere breathable and the domes were taken down in a mass celebration. He never could fathom what it would be like to have been born on Earth, but secretly he always wanted to. Cursing that he had grown up on this rock where until ten he just breathed recycled air, and after the dome was taken down there wasn't much to the planet. It was red, and it was barren.
He wanted to leave Mars behind, go out into space and see what was there. There was planets, there was moons and nebulas. He enlisted in the Martian Navy at eighteen, despite it's own Navy being young in comparison to that of the Federation or Conglomerate the Martian Navy had an ever growing Special Ops program. In being unable to go toe to toe with larger navies like the factions from Earth Mars relied on cutting edge stealth tech and tactics. After sitting an aptitude test he was sent to special ops. They taught him how to gain peoples trust, to pretend to be someone he wasn't and to be a killer. He excelled at every stage.
At the age of 21 he was sent on his first Op, the Martians had a Spec Ops vessel disguised as a bulker in order to gather information on the infamous pirate known as Tiberius Wallace. The ship was attacked by one of Wallaces vessels in the attempt to steal their 'cargo'. However everything went as planned and a member of the Martian Spec Ops infiltrated the crew. This went on for several months until it was Williams turn to sneak aboard the enemy ship, in a new fake bulker. It turns out however that either one of the Martians betrayed them or Wallace had found out by torture or bribery because the pirate ship began firing on the small trade vessel. The first hit threw everyone into a panic, seeing no other option William took control and broke cover. The cargo pods on the ship detached and the weapon systems enabled and began firing at the enemy vessel, though not before they sustained heavy damage to their navigation, propulsion and comm systems. It took several weeks to fly back to Martian Orbit, and by the time they reached it they discovered that the unprecedented had happened, the Federation, Conglomerate and Martians had all worked together to defeat the scourge.
He gained his own command the same year the Devastators came, 2196 when he was only 28. It was only a small corvette but it was a still a big change for him, he was present observing the Citadel as the Devastators came, with the sole mission of seeing what the fleet was capable off and report back. He could hardly believe what he saw, the utter devastation. However when he reported back, he himself suggested that the Martians not engage and that they instead remain on defense. Which they did, Titan and so many lives were lost. Which would forever weigh upon Lockes conscience.
When the Devastators finally came for Mars Locke was in orbit with his ship, risking everything he took his own vessel as well as a couple of ships to attack their flank in a risky maneuver. It only succeeded thanks to the timely intervention of Admiral Roland Constantine and the combined forces of the Federation and the Conglomerate which took the attention of the Devastators so that Lockes vessels could sneak on in behind. It was his actions that day that got him promoted to the position to Rear Admiral. Ten years past, he worked closely with ex-members of the Federation and Conglomerate setting up Special Ops to try and find out more about the Devastators.
When the Genesis Protocol was enacted he was pulled from active duty and assigned to the Vitae, to this day he is still unsure on whether or not he should have taken the assignment but above all else he'll do it to the best of his ability and one of the first things he did to make him better at his job was to familiarize himself with the specifications of the ship, even before he started to choose the crew. He is worried, but won't let it show.
After all, there's no turning back now. The plan was committed, so many people had sacrificed so much and many more were going to die. He wouldn't let a single one of them down.

Character Name: Rear Admiral William Locke
Character Age: 46
Character Gender: Male
Appearance: Locke wears the traditional officer uniform of the United Earth Council, traditional black with the symbol of the old United Nations on his left shoulder. Medals (on dress occasion) are pinned on the front. To signify that he is Martian on his right shoulder there is the old Martian Unity emblem, below which is that of the Vitae.
Profession: Commander of Ark Vitae.
Nationality: Previously a citizen of the Martian Unity.
Strengths:
- Special Ops Training: Mars always prided itself on it's special ops division, prior to being assigned to the Vitae Locke spent his entire career on stealth ships running surveillance and counter surveillance ops. In the three day war he lead a fleet of ships in a flanking maneuver against the Devastators. His training gives him a unique way of thinking over more traditional officers.
- Charismatic: So long playing the spy game, he's good at working with people and simply working people.
- Intelligent: He may not be a scientist of any caliber, but he's well educated.
- Respected: He's known to never expect anything of his crew that he himself wouldn't do, which makes his crew trust and respect him. He doesn't just throw his weight around.
Weaknesses:
- Career Military: He may be Spec Ops and used to not going on much, but he's still used to following orders. It'll be hard to adapt to the last order of 'See to it that humanity survivies'. Not to mention it goes against "leave no man behind".
- Prejudice: He'll say it won't affect him, but most Martians grew to resent people from Earth first for their treatment, second Mars had a desert and tried to turn it into a garden. Earth started with a garden and paved it. It's something he never understood and thought them to be fools for. He also harbours a strong resentment to those who would willingly alter themselves with cybernetic enhancements.
- Missing eye: He lost his eye when a bulkhead exploded during the defense of Mars in the Three Day War, while he himself refused a replacement he still sometimes gains pain from the injury and it limits his peripheral vision.
- Depression: He'll wear a strong face, but he can't deny loosing his home, family and even his planet has had a psychological effect on him.
Personal Effects: Very little, some photographs and clothes. He also has a collection of stones taken from Mars as his connection to home.

"The fights just beginning son."
Player Name: Sep
Name: Captain Lance Thereon
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Race: Human (Corellian)
Force Sensitive Y/N: N
Equipment: A295 Sniper Rifle, Westar-34 Blaster Pistol, All the standard officer equipment, some grenades.
Skills:
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
>list]
[*]Man of War: It's all he's known. He's heard rumour of Mon Mothma wanting to scale down the size of the New Republic Military. He doesn't know what he is without war.
[*]Distant: A man broken by war, he has people he can have a laugh with but no real friends. He's emotionally distant to all those who serve with him.
[*]Snipers Mindset: He's used to taking his time, lining up the shot before firing. He struggles in rapid, fast paced situations. While he still makes a sound situation adding on more pressure does not help his heart rate.
History: Lance was born in a small rural settlement on Corellia to parents Eryl and Tybia before the outbreak of the Clone Wars but tension was high between the Republic and the increasing size of Separatist Factions. Lance stayed away from the politics, or rather his parents did so he did. He grew up with an appreciation for the outdoors, it was everything to the young Lance who would spend long days having nature walks out in the wilds. Though that being said he was no stranger to a good days hard work, his father keeping him busy so that they could produce enough crops to make a profit.
The Clone Wars broke out when he was nine. They never came to Corellia but the ripples caused by the war were felt all over the Galaxy. Suddenly security became everything, the division between the Republic and the Separatists tore the Galaxy in half. Laws changed, and quotas changed as everything Lance knew about life was turned on it's head. Unable to support life on the farmstead anymore Eryl Thereon sold that farm that had been in his family for generations and moved toward the city to get a job working for the Corellian Engineering Corporation. There was always work to do building ships in war time.
Lance hated the city, hated everything about it. It was far too crowded, too many people who all had somewhere to be. He took to frequenting parks and other recreational calmer areas. Hoping that when the war ended things would go back to normal and they'd go home, they didn't. As the Clone Wars came to an end the Galactic Republic was changed into the Galactic Empire. Like many others his family felt that this was something that needed to be done, he himself supported the idea behind the Galactic Empire. It would bring peace and freedom to the galaxy through a united front, rather than the division that reigned in the senate during the times of the Republic.
His father saving enough money up sent Lance to a Military Academy at the age of 16, Lances dream was to serve and go onto new worlds far away from Corellia. His family had never left the planet and he wanted to do so much more than be a simple farmer, or a shipwright.
So at the age of 18 he fully enlisted in the Imperial Military, more specifically the Army. He initially signed with the idea of going on to become a vehicle operator, he had seen holovids of the old AT-TEs and the new AT-DPs and he wanted to operate some piece of machinery like that. However as he held a rifle for the first time it just felt natural, like it was the place he was supposed to be. Eventually he was on the fast track to becoming an Imperial Sharpshooter.
Fast forward a couple of years and he was a scout trooper in the Imperial Military. One of the best shots in his battalion with confirmed kills on targets ranging from Pirates to Rebels. Though like many Imperials (though not enough in numbers to matter) as the Empire became stricter and stricter, and the rules of engagement changed he began to question the Empire. He would hesitate before taking shots that he had been ordered to take against a senator. Like many it took the destruction of Alderaan for all these second guesses for him to make a decision, the next time he was sent planetside on a mission he deserted.
Rumours in the company are that he had to kill his own partner who he had worked with since training to get away, but he never answers those questions. After deserting he slummed around, took his own stand against the Empire. Typically he'd aim for the officers rather than the grunts, knowing that it was always possible that some of the grunts were just like him. It was the officers who were the truly evil ones, and such was how he operated for a while. Slowly over time the Alliance got in contact with him, and he eventually became part of Rancor Company.
He wasn't promoted to Captain until the Battle of Sullust that took place around the same time as the Battle of Endor. Afterwards Rancor spent time licking it's wounds before being sent of to Taris. In all honesty he didn't see the trap coming as TIEs burst out of buildings and fire was spit forth from the ground. Before he knew it they were trapped, with one direction. Down. He's spent the last couple of months trying to get in touch with other groups of Rebel Survivors while trying to establish some form of base of operations, and plan to get in touch with the New Republic and ultimately get off Taris.

Force Sensitive Y/N: N
Equipment: A295 Sniper Rifle, Westar-34 Blaster Pistol, All the standard officer equipment, some grenades.
Skills:
- Sharpshooter: Before being promoted, several times, to Company Commander he was the Companys top Marksman. While he sees frontline combat less often than he used to he still keeps his skills current.
- Soldiers Discipline: Unlike the majority of the New Republic Military Lance was actually trained as a soldier.
- Commander: Lance being trained in the art of war makes him a valuable commander, with a different perspective on the battlefield due to his experience over the more traditional infantry approach.
Strengths:
- Lead by Example: People follow him, why? He's come up through the ranks and people know he's willing to do what he's asking them to do.
- Distant: He distances himself from his troops, not getting to attached so that when he looses them it doesn't break him up.
- Tactician: Through experience, and through having the right mindset he has a tacticians mind. His plans work for a reason, because they're brilliant.

"Let's get started. Shall we?"
Player Name: Sep
Name: Agent Aurek
Age: [REDACTED]
Gender: Female
Race: Human ([REDACTED])
Force Sensitive Y/N: [REDACTED]
Equipment: 'Allegiance' her personal starship, standard issue Imperial Officers blaster. Datapad she takes everywhere.
Skills:
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
History: Agent Aurek turned up on Taris almost one Standard Year ago, and immediately began kicking up the beehive. Governor Venuti had become lazy in his command however anyone who knew him would have seen how flustered he was by Aureks presence, he became irritable and unpredictable. Many who knew him knew that not everything was the same after she turned up. However much of the Imperial regime remained the same on Taris, some more personnel came and worked solely under the command of Aurek in the undercity and nobody really knew what they were up to so they just let her get on with it, as the Governor himself had told them not to bother her.
Months passed as the project continued in secret, Aurek would rarely be seen outside of her 'facility' down in the undercity. Though that didn't really bother anyone. Her presence became more common after the Battle of Endor, around the same time the Governor suddenly became a recluse. She is the one that organised the ambush on the rebel forces and since then has taken a proactive stance in trying to flush them out of the undercity.
Though one question still remains. Who is Agent Aurek?

Age: [REDACTED]
Gender: Female
Race: Human ([REDACTED])
Force Sensitive Y/N: [REDACTED]
Equipment: 'Allegiance' her personal starship, standard issue Imperial Officers blaster. Datapad she takes everywhere.
Skills:
- Manipulation: Be it her enemies, or her allies. One things for sure, she knows how to get what she wants.
- Science: While no-one is clear exactly what she does, it's obvious that she uses the sciences to her advantage.
- Torture: No-one has seen anything first hand, but she gets answers out of prisoners.
Strengths:
- Leader: Though few know who she actually is she is a leader of people, and has the clearance to do it.
- Surprisingly Nimble: She doesn't look like much, but after she was attacked by a prisoner who broke free she proved that she's capable of handling herself.
Weaknesses:
- Trust: It's hard to trust someone, when nobody knows who you are. Many of the higher ranking Imperials resent her presence, and her apparent authority. What would it take for one of them to snap?
- Directionless: She's acting on the last order she was ever given by her command, once this order is complete she isn't quite sure what she's going to do with herself. She has grown so accustomed to simply following orders.

"Most people have an alias, I have a statement."
Player Name: Sep
Alias: Speed
Real Name: Thomas 'Tommy' Shepherd
Moral Alignment: Hero (Reformed W.T.L)
Affiliation: Solo
Character Origin & Backstory: Thomas was born in New Jersey to his parents Frank and Mary. From a young age he was restless, he wanted to run everywhere and do everything five times faster than anybody else did it. So naturally it aggravated him whenever someone could run faster than him, as he grew older his parents hoped that he would grow out of the impatience and out of the fact he always had to be on the move. He didn't. He started to become disobedient at school, disrespectful. He spent more of his time in the principals office and getting sent home than he spent in actual class. This record would only get worse.
Between the ages of thirteen and fifteen he spent most of his time going in and out of juvenille halls. It was at the age of sixteen where his powers manifested. He had shoplifted (a chocolate bar of all things) and was being chased by the store owner. As he went to run away he shot off at speeds he didn't even know were possible. He eventually managed to stop himself and looked down at his hands watching them move incredibly fast, he had no idea what was going on. Over time, and with practice, he eventually learned that he could control this ability. He started hitting... bigger targets. He just wanted to make his parents and Lisa happy, that he left the line behind.
He only discovered this when one day he returned home, a huge grin on his face with a bag full of cash and a team of agents waiting for him, before he could do anything they knocked him out cold and the next thing he knew he was in some form of facility. It seemed to be run by the Government, but he never truly found out. They performed tests on him, pushed him to the extreme. It felt like they were tearing him apart and putting him back together again. Little did they know while they were trying to find out how his speed worked they were inadvertently increasing it due to the levels of stress they were causing on his body.
Still in his restraints his whole body started shaking till he simply fell out of the restraints and onto the floor, he wasn't entirely sure but he had passed straight through them (something he has been unable to replicate to this day)! Without further hesitation he began to run, and he left the facility behind. Finding himself out in the cold harsh weather of a Canadian winter. He got to New York in time to see the hero known as Sentry fly overhead. He watched the hero fly past, probably on his way to or from some kind of battle and smiled. There was something he could do with his life, something with purpose. For the first time in his life he seemed to finally have a direction to run in.
He made himself a costume, and gave himself the name of Speed. He initially decided to start small, burglaries and car robberies or chases he'd intervene. He wouldn't let himself be seen yet though, in and out in barely a second. He avoided areas that he himself used to rob back when he was younger before he had been taken into captivity, he already heard the slurs being cast at him. He knew the fear, he had a lot to make up for for his past life. In truth it was one of the main reasons he took on an alias, to try and free himself from his past. That's when everything was sucked into a void.
A creature, unlike anything New York had ever seen terrorized the city. Thomas wasn't going to lie it terrified him, he was about to step up and do... something when a group of heroes jumped forth and started to fight the monster. Tommy just nodded, he ran through so many buildings that day. Moving so many people out of harms way that by the time the monster finally fell Tommy collapsed on the nearest bed he could find.
When he woke up he saw the news, Sentry had fallen in battle against the creature. He couldn't even remember seeing sentry fight Void as they were calling it and for all he knew Sentry was the most powerful hero so far, he couldn't believe that these Avengers managed to team up so quickly to save the day.
The day of Sentrys memorial, was one where the whole of New York mourned. There were ceremonies across the country for their fallen hero. Sentry had been in the spotlight, held on a pedestal. The ideal hero. Heroes from across the country turned up at the unveiling of a statue built in his likeness, most of them in costume though he was sure that some heroes would be among the crowd. Seeing the impact one man, one hero could make only solidified his decision to be the best hero he could be.
Powers and Abilities:
Sample Story Arcs:
Rules: I have read all the rules.
Sample Post:
Now, you'd think someone who had the ability to run faster than Mach 4 was pretty much the fastest person there was on the planet. Tommy had been pretty much subscribing to that philosophy ever since he had first gained his powers. Even before he started the whole hero gig he felt confident in the knowledge that no-one was faster than him (at least not on foot). So you can imagine the frustration at trying to keep up with a teleporter. Speed turned the corner, his hand brushing the back of his target who stepped through one. He almost swore as he scanned the surrounding area for him, he had to be in the line of sight. Spot as the idiot had named himself needed to see his target to place a spot there, as he went behind them.
Kind of like a less colourful portal gun, if the portal gun was a person, and had just robbed a bank. He turned and looked behind him to see Spot turning a corner. Tommy bolted after him, he had him! Going to grab him by the shoulder his arm passed right through and came out the other side, distended through a portal. Yanking back Tommy spun round to face his adversary. Why couldn't he have someone easy for his first supervillain? Someone that didn't move as fast as him or teleport. Someone like an evil Spider-man. That'd be the perfect opponent, super easy. He turned quickly, everything slowing down for him as he tried to process the information quickly. Nodding as he saw the portal exit he ran straight at it, jumping at the last second with his fist extended.
He passed through in the blink of an eye, fist first straight into the jaw of his foe. Smiling as Spot was knocked over, the bag of cash falling off and skidding along the ground Tommy landed on his feet. "Who are you kid?"
"Names Speed."
"Speed, really?"
"Better than Spot"
Tommy dashed towards him to try and grab him, but he just slid into the ground. "Oh you have got to be kidding me!" Tommy scanned the area trying to catch any sight of him. That's when a hole opened right on front of him followed by a fist, knocking him right in the stomach. That one closed and then followed by another one, with another fist. He kept getting punched from different angles, each unpredictable. Concentrate damnit Tommy! As he saw the hole open in front of him, with all the speed he could muster he grabbed the arm and pulled. There was substantial resistance however eventually the form of Spot came through the hole, Tommy spun on his heel throwing Spot right towards a wall.
Running after him, anticipating Spot to do another disappearing act what he didn't expect was for the massive hole to be placed in his path. There was no way he was going to stop in time, so he settled for slowing down as much as he could. He fell through the hole, and found himself above the water. He was surprised to be honest that Spot had a portal out this far, but then it was one he probably placed earlier. He orientated his feet towards the water and began running in midair. He wasn't quite sure this would work but he had heard stories about an old speedster called 'Whizzer' (Stupid name) during the second world war and well.. if he could do it.
His left foot made contact with the water, for a split second until his right was down and then up... each footfall taking such little time that he began running on the water. He couldn't help but yell in his excitement, kicking it up a notch and increasing speed creating a wake behind him. He took a long curve as he turned to head back to where Spot had dropped the money, he'd undoubtedly go back for it. Increasing speed on the water to him there was a slight boom as he broke the sound barrier. Running onto the dock, and up some stairs he managed to get some air, slowing down dramatically, before his feet made contact with the ground again and he increased his speed again. Turning the corner of the street he saw the look of defeat on Spots face, he zipped over to a fire hydrant vibrating his hand at high speeds he loosened the bolt before pulling it off, directing the torrent of water at Spot knocking him down.
He tried to compensate, but the force of the water no matter what he did pushed him one way or another. Once he was down Speed smirked and nipped over to him, looking at him on the ground. "Names not so silly now, is it? You barely even saw that coming."
"Most people have an alias, I have a statement."
Player Name: Sep
Alias: Speed
Real Name: Thomas 'Tommy' Shepherd
Moral Alignment: Hero (Reformed W.T.L)
Affiliation: Solo
Character Origin & Backstory: Thomas was born in New Jersey to his parents Frank and Mary. From a young age he was restless, he wanted to run everywhere and do everything five times faster than anybody else did it. So naturally it aggravated him whenever someone could run faster than him, as he grew older his parents hoped that he would grow out of the impatience and out of the fact he always had to be on the move. He didn't. He started to become disobedient at school, disrespectful. He spent more of his time in the principals office and getting sent home than he spent in actual class. This record would only get worse.
Between the ages of thirteen and fifteen he spent most of his time going in and out of juvenille halls. It was at the age of sixteen where his powers manifested. He had shoplifted (a chocolate bar of all things) and was being chased by the store owner. As he went to run away he shot off at speeds he didn't even know were possible. He eventually managed to stop himself and looked down at his hands watching them move incredibly fast, he had no idea what was going on. Over time, and with practice, he eventually learned that he could control this ability. He started hitting... bigger targets. He just wanted to make his parents and Lisa happy, that he left the line behind.
He only discovered this when one day he returned home, a huge grin on his face with a bag full of cash and a team of agents waiting for him, before he could do anything they knocked him out cold and the next thing he knew he was in some form of facility. It seemed to be run by the Government, but he never truly found out. They performed tests on him, pushed him to the extreme. It felt like they were tearing him apart and putting him back together again. Little did they know while they were trying to find out how his speed worked they were inadvertently increasing it due to the levels of stress they were causing on his body.
Still in his restraints his whole body started shaking till he simply fell out of the restraints and onto the floor, he wasn't entirely sure but he had passed straight through them (something he has been unable to replicate to this day)! Without further hesitation he began to run, and he left the facility behind. Finding himself out in the cold harsh weather of a Canadian winter. He got to New York in time to see the hero known as Sentry fly overhead. He watched the hero fly past, probably on his way to or from some kind of battle and smiled. There was something he could do with his life, something with purpose. For the first time in his life he seemed to finally have a direction to run in.
He made himself a costume, and gave himself the name of Speed. He initially decided to start small, burglaries and car robberies or chases he'd intervene. He wouldn't let himself be seen yet though, in and out in barely a second. He avoided areas that he himself used to rob back when he was younger before he had been taken into captivity, he already heard the slurs being cast at him. He knew the fear, he had a lot to make up for for his past life. In truth it was one of the main reasons he took on an alias, to try and free himself from his past. That's when everything was sucked into a void.
A creature, unlike anything New York had ever seen terrorized the city. Thomas wasn't going to lie it terrified him, he was about to step up and do... something when a group of heroes jumped forth and started to fight the monster. Tommy just nodded, he ran through so many buildings that day. Moving so many people out of harms way that by the time the monster finally fell Tommy collapsed on the nearest bed he could find.
When he woke up he saw the news, Sentry had fallen in battle against the creature. He couldn't even remember seeing sentry fight Void as they were calling it and for all he knew Sentry was the most powerful hero so far, he couldn't believe that these Avengers managed to team up so quickly to save the day.
The day of Sentrys memorial, was one where the whole of New York mourned. There were ceremonies across the country for their fallen hero. Sentry had been in the spotlight, held on a pedestal. The ideal hero. Heroes from across the country turned up at the unveiling of a statue built in his likeness, most of them in costume though he was sure that some heroes would be among the crowd. Seeing the impact one man, one hero could make only solidified his decision to be the best hero he could be.
Powers and Abilities:
- Super Speed: Strangely 'Speed' has super speed. Not only that but his body can handle the incredible speeds, and even collisions at these speeds without killing him. He hasn't fully pushed himself to the limit but as of yet he has a maximum speed he has reached (under test conditions) is Mach 4. With this speed he also has the reflexes, durability, agility, stamina and perception with this.
- Molecular Intangibility: He has only done it once, but he has managed to destabilize his molecules once to the point of passing straight through solid matter.
- Super Strength: His legs are obviously altered to deal with all the running he does, able to lift a tonne with his legs. However his torso has also been improved with him able to lift 800lbs with his arms.
Sample Story Arcs:
- Speeds Demons: People still remember the speedster performing a set of robberies around New York and New Jersey and Speed has a lot to make up for, a name to clear. This isn't helped when someone else with super speed starts to terrorize the city.
- Speed isn't everything: Speed learns that he's going to be more than just fast to deal with all the problems he's going to face as a superhero.
- Putting out fires: How far can you push yourself before you need to ask for help?
Rules: I have read all the rules.
Sample Post:
Now, you'd think someone who had the ability to run faster than Mach 4 was pretty much the fastest person there was on the planet. Tommy had been pretty much subscribing to that philosophy ever since he had first gained his powers. Even before he started the whole hero gig he felt confident in the knowledge that no-one was faster than him (at least not on foot). So you can imagine the frustration at trying to keep up with a teleporter. Speed turned the corner, his hand brushing the back of his target who stepped through one. He almost swore as he scanned the surrounding area for him, he had to be in the line of sight. Spot as the idiot had named himself needed to see his target to place a spot there, as he went behind them.
Kind of like a less colourful portal gun, if the portal gun was a person, and had just robbed a bank. He turned and looked behind him to see Spot turning a corner. Tommy bolted after him, he had him! Going to grab him by the shoulder his arm passed right through and came out the other side, distended through a portal. Yanking back Tommy spun round to face his adversary. Why couldn't he have someone easy for his first supervillain? Someone that didn't move as fast as him or teleport. Someone like an evil Spider-man. That'd be the perfect opponent, super easy. He turned quickly, everything slowing down for him as he tried to process the information quickly. Nodding as he saw the portal exit he ran straight at it, jumping at the last second with his fist extended.
He passed through in the blink of an eye, fist first straight into the jaw of his foe. Smiling as Spot was knocked over, the bag of cash falling off and skidding along the ground Tommy landed on his feet. "Who are you kid?"
"Names Speed."
"Speed, really?"
"Better than Spot"
Tommy dashed towards him to try and grab him, but he just slid into the ground. "Oh you have got to be kidding me!" Tommy scanned the area trying to catch any sight of him. That's when a hole opened right on front of him followed by a fist, knocking him right in the stomach. That one closed and then followed by another one, with another fist. He kept getting punched from different angles, each unpredictable. Concentrate damnit Tommy! As he saw the hole open in front of him, with all the speed he could muster he grabbed the arm and pulled. There was substantial resistance however eventually the form of Spot came through the hole, Tommy spun on his heel throwing Spot right towards a wall.
Running after him, anticipating Spot to do another disappearing act what he didn't expect was for the massive hole to be placed in his path. There was no way he was going to stop in time, so he settled for slowing down as much as he could. He fell through the hole, and found himself above the water.

3.1
Rumours of heroes have been around since the Second World War, where a group known as the Invaders fought with the allies against Axis forces. Eventually these stories would become nothing but popular fiction through the work of Marvel Comics Group. Superheroes fell into myth, a popular thing for people to look up to solely for entertainment purposes. TV Shows, Games and Movies all played with the heroic element, and the concept of people with super-powers.
The early 1970s brought with it the public knowledge of the existence of Mutants. For decades people with strange abilities had surfaced, but these tended to appear like hearsay and rumour, usually people in such situations would disappear rather quickly. However in the 1970s the Brotherhood formed under the council of three Mutants: Charles Xavier, Erik Lensherr, and Raven Darkholme. These mutants were public about their abilities and what they could do, and announced that they would help usher in a new age for Humanity and Mutants together.
However the Brotherhood disbanded in the 1980s after an altercation between the Brotherhood and the US.Government. Mutants were rallying for better treatment, as there was an increase in police brutality towards their kind as they were seen as not human and thus did not have human rights under the constitution. During this rally protestors who felt that Mutants should be registered and regulated arrived at the rally and violence ensued. After this Xavier went on to found the Xavier Institute of Higher learning in order to promote humans and mutants living side by side and also founded the X-Men, a secret group of mutants who would work against the efforts of Erik Lensherrs reformed Brotherhood who acted in the efforts of mutant supremacy. The Governments of the world all take different stances, but there is still a strong divide in many countries including the United States on whether Mutants should be treated fairly, or registered.
The world continued to turn, till in the early 2000s Superheroes began to emerge in different shapes or forms. Unlike mutants who just existed these people worked to benefit the populace, usually remaining anonymous for fear of retribution towards their families. This became an increasing problem with the emergence of super villains also increased. They took on identities such as Iron Man, Thor, Spider-man, Wasp and some even worked in pairs such as Ant-man and the Wasp. In the coming years they gained more and more popularity while also equally ggaining some notoriety. At a time when their purpose was being questioned by the government, Galactus arrived.
A giant being that tore landed in the centre of Kansas tearing through everything it came across threatening to consume the entire world. A group of Earths Mightiest Heroes came together in order to fight back this scourge. This group would later be called the Avengers, naming themselves after the heroes that fell on that fateful day.
Though as the world returns to it's now normality something stirs in the shadows of New York.
Also known as TL;DR
1941: America joins the Second World War, the Invaders are supposedly formed following Captain America.
1952: Marvel Comics Groups releases the first Captain America comic book, many now accept that Captain America was a propaganda piece.

Player Name: Sep
Character Name: Doctor Loretta Raidne
Character Age: 31
Character Gender: Female
Profession: Head of the Cryogenic Stasis department, biochemical expert, general practice Doctor.
Nationality: Armani
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Personal Effects: The plaque from the bridge of the Vigilance, a ship she once lived and served on until it was destroyed by the Devastators above Titan (it hangs above her bed). Her personal effects such as clothes, an vintage chemistry textbook from 2010 that stays in a display case and an equally vintage bottle of Scotch Whisky.
Bio: Loretta was born on the Vigilance, which was once a freighter but had become home to her family and others like them, she attended school aboard the ship and did everything aboard, the Armani being the risk takers they are only they could say that they got to do a field trip to the outer hull of a spaceship. When she was younger she was a happy little girl, she invested herself wholly in science and even from a young age it was what she wanted to do. Her parents encouraged her as all they had ever been was maintenance techs aboard their home vessel.
At the age of eleven the Devastators came, tearing through the Citadel. Every Armani ship was needed in orbit of Titan to protect one of the few land based outposts the Armani had, unfortunately it wasn't enough. The Vigilance was lost, but thankfully not with all hands. Her family and five others had managed to secure themselves in the disaster bunker aboard the ship, floating through space until they were finally picked up. With Armani connections to their vessels being as strong as they were, that when they found a scarred plaque from the bridge of the Vigilance that they gave it to Loretta, who was the youngest in the disaster bunker. Though after this incident she was never the same, she became anxious and jumpy. She no longer sought out to connect to people, she just wanted to be alone with her work. She was driven and calculating, but her parents often worried at how distant she was becoming.
Over the next ten years she excelled herself, she wasn't going to be hopeless ever again. Getting into Mars University at the age of 17 she became one of the big up-and-coming names in the scientific community, taking to cryogenic theory and bio-chemistry like a moth to the flame. Which is why when Genesis Protocol was concocted when she was 21 she was assigned to the Vitae. She finished her dissertation under the guidance of some of the best humanity had to offer, and even helped implement improvements into the cryogenic storage. While at the same time she spent her time brushing up on her other medical skills, in order to keep her ever hungry mind occupied, while also to make herself more useful to the Ark and her crew. When it came time to start filling the stasis pods with people Loretta sought out her parents, both of them being an engineer she was sure that they would manage to get through the selection process. They refused.
Even breaking her non-disclosure agreement she told them what the project was, what it meant and what would happen if they didn't come. Always the risk takers, always the patriots they refused. They weren't going to go with her, but instead give there spaces to people younger and more deserving. She cursed them, and pleaded with them. She would have continued if not for the fact that she was recalled back to the Ark to oversee the freezing process aboard the ships cryogenic vault.

Player Name: Sep
Character Name: Doctor Loretta Raidne
Character Age: 31
Character Gender: Female
Profession: Head of the Cryogenic Stasis department, biochemical expert, general practice Doctor.
Nationality: Armani
Strengths:
- Intelligent: She's one of the foremost experts on Cryogenic Stasis mankind has to offer, some say she's in the top 12.
- Calculating: She never does anything in the heat of the moment, every move she makes is planned long term in advance, which is one of the reason she likes working with Cryogenics.
- Augmented: Like many other members of the Armani she is cybernetically enhanced. With an implant in the frontal lobe of her neocortex and her hippocampus in order to improve long and short term memory, both with encoding and recall.
- Zero-G/Space: She's used to Zero-G environments, as well as working in space due to her races nature.
Weaknesses:
- Cold: She can seem quite cold and distant sometimes, almost detached.
- Anxious: She does not do well in situations where she has not had time to plan accordingly, and not spontaneous what so ever or like surprises.
- Implants: While her implants are sophisticated enough not to cause pain electromagnetic pulses or sounds at certain frequencies can disrupt them causing her pain or even damaging her memory.
- Solitude: She may appear cold and distant, but there is something to be said about someone who spends more time with people who are in cryogenic stasis rather than people that are awake.
Personal Effects: The plaque from the bridge of the Vigilance, a ship she once lived and served on until it was destroyed by the Devastators above Titan (it hangs above her bed).

Origin Story:
Birth.
The Ragnarok cycle has created numerous versions of of Thor's origin stories. In one variation he was born left handed and with black hair. This coupled with the fact Asgard is a myth makes it hard to determine any true origin story for Thor. Thor is the son of Odin All-Father and King of Asgard who had sought to sire a son with Jord, who is also known as Gaea a goddess who is one of the Elder Gods. Odins plan was to father a son who would have power that was both of Asgard and Midgard.
Thor was born in a cave in Norway that was created by Odin for his son to be born there. Mere months later Thor was weaned from his mother and was taken to Asgard where he would be raised by his Father Odin and his wife Frigga. He wouldn't know his maternal lineage until much later, believing that Frigga was in fact his mother for many, many years. Thors younger years would also be spent with his brother, Loki. Neither brother knew the truth in that Loki was adopted by Odin, Lokis father actually being the frost giant Laufey.
Becoming a warrior.
When he was eight Thor traveled with his brother to Nidavellir the Dwarven realm in order to request the lords there to build three treasures for the ruler of Asgard. One of these treasures was the Uru hammer Mjlonir. In order to spite his brother and future king, Loki used illusions to trick and distract the blacksmiths which resulted in the handle being made far too short to be wielded with two hands. When they returned Odin enchanted the hammer with magic, decreeing that only those worthy would be able to use it's power. It was then that he also decided that he would reserve it for Thor, who would hopefully one day earn the right lift the hammer.
Taking the message as a test of strength Thor spent years training so that he would become physically strong enough to lift Mjlonir and was responsible for many heroic deeds. When he had already proved himself a capable warrior Odin decided that he was ready to fufill a quest, one that would hopefully teach him how to be pure of heart. When he returned Thor was gifted with Mjlonir and became the God of Thunder.

Return to Earth
In the Second World War, somehow Hitler and his allies in Hydra managed to find a way to communicate with Thor, in order to trick him into working for them. A people who used to worship him. They pleaded to him that the Invaders and their allies were threatening to wipe them all out. Thor joined the fray, eagerly willing to take the fight against the Invaders. He nearly killed the second Union Jack, however that is when he learned that Hitler was in fact the one who instigated the war and about the atrocities he had committed. Thor then vowed that he would aid the Germans no more in the war, and removed most of the electricity from Union Jacks body before heading back to Asgard, deciding not to allow himself to be dragged into the wars of mortal men anymore.
Thor went back to Asgard and continued to live out his life, however Odin was becoming increasingly concerned with the arrogance that his son was exhibiting and felt that his son wasn't ready to rule. On one occasion after two Frost Giants broke into Asgard, Thor went to Jotunheim in order to exact retribution almost bringing war to the two races. Deciding to teach his son a lesson in humility Odin banished Thor to Earth, and removed his memories.
This new identity was known as Donald Blake, a crippled medical student. Thor had to learn the value of living with a crippled leg, and eventually took to caring for the sick and elderly. It was during this time that he met a young nurse named Jane Foster. The two eventually began to fall in love at around the time where it had been ten years since Thor had been banished. 2015. That's when Odin decided it had been long enough since Thor had known who he was, giving Blake the urge to head to Norway and in fact the gave where Thor had been born.
Though outside the cave appeared a couple of Kronans on an expedition, fearing for his life Blake retreated into the cave where he then found Mjlonir. While he doubted he could do much with it, he lifted the Hammer and was immediately transformed back into Thor god of thunder. However he didn't immediately regain his memories, despite this he managed to fight off the Kronans and escape back to New York. For the next couple of months he slowly regained his memories, battles long past and days of training so when Galactus re-appeared it was only natural that he Thor the Thunderer jumped to the aid of Midgard.
In the time since wholes in his memory have been plaguing him as he has struggled living two lives, while he remembers a third. The issue is, which is his real life?

Lady Sif - He knows of her beauty, her rage and her passion. He knows that there was something between them, and that is one of the main wedges between him and Jane Foster, as all these feelings are new again and he almost feels disloyal to her for his relationship with Jane. As he doesn't yet remember that it is over between them.

The Fantastic Four - Thor worked with these valiant heroes on the day of Galactus. While he has rarely seen them since, he still considers them at the very least as allies.
S.H.I.E.L.D - He doesn't always trust the methods that the spy organization employs, however it has done it's best to accommodate the Avengers and this has gained his respect.
Enemies
Loki Laufeyson - While he doesn't know the extent to how the relationship goes, Loki is Thors biggest rival, made especially dangerous by how much Thor cares for his brother.
Galactus - While Galactus acts out of pure self preservation, Thor has decreed that he ever sees him again that he will 'truly finish their battle'.
Laufey - Lord of the Frost Giants, and biological father (unknown to Loki and Thor) of Loki. While there is a peace between Asgard and Jotunheim the two are easily classed as enemies.
Sample Post:
The coast was cold, the light was fading rapidly as the son fell towards the horizon as the harsh winds tore at his body. Had it been any other man he would likely have perished in these winds, though he was no mortal man. He was Thor, Odinson, God of Thunder. He approached the cave without fear, for he knew what he was going to face. It was no Immortal, yet it was no man. It was something else, something dangerous. He himself had almost been slain by it a near week ago. However then he had been unprepared, jarnbjorn had been prepared for godflesh that day. A honorable battle the likes of which would be told through the ages.
Though instead what he faced was something else, a coward who struck at those who were unprepared. Had the power of thunder itself not helped him the coward may have succeeded in killing him. Though his tricks would not do him any good this time, for this time it was Thor who attacked his enemy. "Beast, come out of the shadows. The Lord of Thunder would have words with thee!" Something moved in the shadows, Thors hand gripped around the shaft of his axe ready to strike, when he saw the face of death.
Donald Blake woke with a start, panting slightly. Such dreams had been plaguing him for a year now. Ever since he had picked up that hammer in Norway. Mjlonir he corrected himself, which according to Professor Randolph was the weapon used by Thor, God of Thunder, War and Strength for the vikings. Part of him knew that was true, knew that these weren't dreams but were in fact somehow memories. Though part of him found it was hard to believe, he had a life here on Midar-Earth. He could remember his parents, remember the accident that ruined his leg. Though up until he started Medical School it was all a haze.
So what life was his real life? He turned to look at Jane lying beside him, and he had no doubt that he loved her with all of his heart. Though these memories as Thor brought that into question, which was the exact reason he had yet to tell her about it. He slid out of his bed, limping out into the next room and went into his medical bag, at the bottom of which sat the hammer. As soon as he picked it up he felt the change, his entire physique became more muscled. Stronger, this was the body of a God. Not the meek flesh that he inhabited most of the time. Shrugging it off he walked out onto the balcony. Spinning Mjlonir he let go as the hammer took him up into the air. Willing it onwards as he went.
There was far too much confusion in Thors mind, and a good way to resolve such frustrations was to bash some heads. Surely there would be some fool brave enough to take on Thor the Thunderer.

Origin Story:
Birth.
The Ragnarok cycle has created numerous versions of of Thor's origin stories. In one variation he was born left handed and with black hair. This coupled with the fact Asgard is a myth makes it hard to determine any true origin story for Thor. Thor is the son of Odin All-Father and King of Asgard who had sought to sire a son with Jord, who is also known as Gaea a goddess who is one of the Elder Gods. Odins plan was to father a son who would have power that was both of Asgard and Midgard.
Thor was born in a cave in Norway that was created by Odin for his son to be born there. Mere months later Thor was weaned from his mother and was taken to Asgard where he would be raised by his Father Odin and his wife Frigga. He wouldn't know his maternal lineage until much later, believing that Frigga was in fact his mother for many, many years. Thors younger years would also be spent with his brother, Loki. Neither brother knew the truth in that Loki was adopted by Odin, Lokis father actually being the frost giant Laufey.
Becoming a warrior.
When he was eight Thor traveled with his brother to Nidavellir the Dwarven realm in order to request the lords there to build three treasures for the ruler of Asgard. One of these treasures was the Uru hammer Mjlonir. In order to spite his brother and future king, Loki used illusions to trick and distract the blacksmiths which resulted in the handle being made far too short to be wielded with two hands. When they returned Odin enchanted the hammer with magic, decreeing that only those worthy would be able to use it's power. It was then that he also decided that he would reserve it for Thor, who would hopefully one day earn the right lift the hammer.
Taking the message as a test of strength Thor spent years training so that he would become physically strong enough to lift Mjlonir and was responsible for many heroic deeds. When he had already proved himself a capable warrior Odin decided that he was ready to fufill a quest, one that would hopefully teach him how to be pure of heart. When he returned Thor was gifted with Mjlonir and became the God of Thunder.
Thor went on to become Asgards greatest warriors. He grew close to his fellow warrior Sif, however the two of them never truly decided to become a couple. Despite this when she was kidnapped by Hela, Thor tracked her down and offered his life in the stead of hers, touched by such nobility Hela agreed to let Sif and Thor go back to Asgard together. Before romance could truly come to flourish disaster stuck on Midgard and Thor was sent to deal with the issue, and promote Asgardian worship. Thor enjoyed the adulation that the Vikings gave him, the drinking, the women and the stories. He spent years protecting them from the Frost Giants and other foes. However when he discovered some of his more zealous worshipers murdered a christian monastery Thor was ashamed that they committed these atrocities in his name. Thor removed himself from Earth and began travelling the nine realm answering pleas for help, becoming an even more powerful warrior.

The above ships saw duty in the Three Day War, the smallest being 100m long with a 1:1 scale making the largest ship being 900M long. The ships are known to wield high powered plasma weapons, but appear to carry no strike craft of any sort. Shielding seems to be non-existent but the material the hull is made from appears to be incredibly strong. Study of some of the debris from the Three Day War indicates that the ships are organic in nature.
No bodies of enemy combatants were found, and there was no ground assault so we are unclear on what the enemy looks like.
The Three Day War started on April 1st 2196, when the enemy fleet was first reported and people told to be evacuated many thought it to be a hoax. As such the station known as the Citadel on the very edge of our solar system had almost three million souls aboard when it's defenders fell and the beings soon to be known as the Devastators tore through what remained of the station. From there they continued to push in an unrelenting wave, the Spacers were the first to respond having lost their station. Sending a fleet two times the size of the enemy fleet to defend their outpost on Titan. Requesting help from the Martians, who denied at the expense of old wounds. Earth didn't even respond to the request for help as the Cold War between the Federation and Conglomerate was reaching a tipping point.
As the Spacer Navy was devastated and Titan fell an Admiral for the Federation by the name of Roland Constantine took his fleet away from it's standoff against the Conglomerates fleet, stating that if they did not work together this could see an end to humanity. The Conglomerate fleet followed to the orbit of Mars where Martian, Federation, Conglomerate and Spacer fleets fought together for the first time since the infamous pirate Tiberius Wallace plagued humanities solar system. Despite the overwhelming size of the human fleet, the battle was almost lost. In a last ditch attempt to cause as much damage as possible the enemy turned their weapons on the Martian Cities below, and in the heat of the moment Admiral Constantine placed his own ship between the weapon fire and the planet. Risking everything in the process.
In the aftermath of the war, leaders from all factions decided to meet for the first time in almost a century aboard the Arcadius. Admiral Constantines flagship. In the days after the war the United Earth Council was formed, with all the previous faction leaders becoming a member of the council.

Hyperspace is travel through a dimension that has been dubbed as 'subspace'. In subspace distance/time is not the same as it is in our own dimension, it bridges immense distances in a way that isn't possible in our own space time. With hyperspace you can travel vast distances over the period of minutes/hours however time appears to travel faster in our own dimension. Meaning that if you were in hyperspace for an hour it could mean days in real space, unfortunately this ratio appears to differ and scientists as of yet are unable to figure out the cause behind this variation.
Hyperspace engines are massive, which is why the Arks do not have their own engines. Instead the Eye of Theia was constructed for the Genesis Project in order to send the Arks to their destination.
The Jump Drive is an older design, which for Genesis has had some improvements done to it. A Jump Drive can jump instantaneously to a new location, it is only limited by the power needed for such a jump. You may ask yourself why a race with such technology would research a hyperdrive, the drive is unreliable. In that it requires massive amounts of power and time to charge up, once it has started to charge it must be used or it could explode and destroy the entire ship. It also requires a significant cooldown, while a short jump takes only half an hour to charge it takes six hours to cool down.
The major problem is it strains the hull and spine of the ship, so overuse could result in structural damage to the ship in question. Especially if that ship makes a large number of long jumps.
Robotics are highly advanced in this day and age, all production (even of food) is done via robotics. Models are largely humanoid in appearance and are capable of lifting far more than the average human. They fill roles in almost every major industry.
Artificial Intelligence exists, however after bad Sci-Fi movies and some rouge units they are heavily monitored and controlled, most often units are used by the military on the use of battleships however some businesses do have their own units that help run the company. Units are free-thinking, but they typically have their memories erased every couple of years to prevent them from developing anything relating to a personality. Each Ark in regards to the Genesis Project has it's own unique A.I designed for the sole purpose of safeguarding humanities future.
The units in question are programmed to ensure the survival of humanity but cannot perform actions unless ordered by the Captain or the First Officer, but is allowed to make suggestions based on the situation.
Prosthesis are at the point where they can fully replace anything from an arm to a finger, and even internal organs. These artificial limbs/organs are then 'wired' into the persons neural network which lets them use it as if it was a natural body part, in studies it is found that the brain (in terms of sending neural signals) is unable to notice the difference between a real limb and a fake one. People with prosthesis are no longer looked down upon and are actually sought after in some professions where they offer an advantage.
Cybernetic Enhancements are less common, as despite the tech being readily available the surgery is purposefully made expensive so that people don't fully remove themselves from humanity, these laws became far stricter after the Genesis Protocol was established, as it is important for those that are set to repopulate the human race are capable of doing so. That said cybernetic enhancements are possible from everything including augmented vision to even having an A.I. Implant in your head.

That said cybernetic enhancements are possible from everything including augmented vision to even having an A.I. Implant in your head.
Biological Manipulation includes any field that requires the manipulation of biological matter, such as regrowing limbs, cloning, test tube babies, genetic manipulation and genetic enhancement.
Cloning was standard practice within the Nagasaki Conglomerate for replacement Organs for many years, while none of the other human nations felt the practice was useful. Due to the nature of cloning the options were to create an infant version, or a fully grown adult. The problem was those that wanted clones (for whatever reason) rarely wanted an infant, however some people would have a clone made in order to be an adoptive child, and if the clone was a fully grown adult it had no personality and acted like a blank slate.
As such many other countries shut down cloning research, eventually after the Three Day War the Nagasaki Conglomerate was forced to stop growing clones to produce organs, with the whole practice being deemed unethical.

While some people still cling to In Vito Fertilization science has escalated to the point where a baby can be grown entirely in a tube, without two people even needing to know eachother. However the process is deemed expensive and the ethics are constantly being questioned about literally growing a baby in a lab.
Few babies have ever entered into the world through this method, but almost all seem to have some cognitive difficulties which make this method still classed as experimental.
Few babies have ever entered into the world through this method, but almost all seem to have some cognitive difficulties which make this method still classed as experimental.
Every nation toyed with the idea of super soldiers, men and women with abilities far beyond their norm. Every nation performed experiments to try and make this idea into a reality, however after the attack of the Devastators such experiments (be them on an embryo or a fully grown human being) were deemed illegal. As while there were potential benefits the UEC decided that it was not worth the risk, and that it would rob someone of their humanity.

Shields were a concept being used before the Three Day War, but after the war their development was marked as a priority and they have come a long way. A shield generator in a ship creates an electromagnetic barrier around the ship, this barrier is capable of blocking all forms of incoming fire, however it is extremely taxing on power generation and sustained fire causes the capacitors and field generators to overload which can cause the shield to fail.
As such shields only exist on capital ships, being too large and too taxing to be put on anything smaller.
While humanity does have access to energy weapons, these weapons are typically too large and demanding on power reserves to be put on mobile spaceships, the weapons typically kept for spacestations or for orbital based systems. Instead they use traditional kinetic style weaponry, where an explosive shell is fired at a target. However it is fired by electromagnetic rails that propel the projectile and incredible speeds. An advantage of these systems is that different shells can be used, such as flak or armour piercing rounds, depending on the situation. Most modern ships have a main battery of plasma based weapons for capital ship warfare, as these guns are large and slow.
Missiles are also in common use, with a variety of payloads. However more recently scientists have been looking for a way for a missile to carry a portable shield generator or even a small variation of the jump drive.
Like in modern times a variety of hand held weapon systems exist. Similar to the larger weapon systems they are all kinetic based, however with the use of electromagnetic rail 'railgun' technology the bullets are released at a greater velocity making them even deadlier. Most weapon systems also come with assisted targetting, and smart bullets. Which make it more likely that you will hit your target.

Power generation is all about fusion. Trying to harness the power of the sun itself. The design hasn't really changed in the past ten years, with the exception that they have managed to make the reactors bigger for more output. This has been made possible by shielding technology to keep any harmful radiation within the reactor and preventing it from spreading throughout the ship. In the event of failure all ships have energy storage with enough energy to help the ship to it's destination. Power cores are also able to be (though in a complicated process) expelled from ships in the case of emergency.
While Plasma is yet to fully phase out kinetic weapon systems, they are used for engines on all classes of ships. From small fighters up to the biggest ships ever created, the Arks, each ship has a variety of engines to give it as much control as possible however none are more impressive than the ones on the stern which are capable of making the Arks incredibly fast for their size.
For the ease of getting this up quickly I'm only going to post up the designs we're taking with us.
The Arks of the Genesis project are the biggest ships ever constructed by humanity, over 7km long. It is designed with the best technology that humanity has to offer, they are wholly independent with their own processing/construction/agriculture facilities so that they can be lived upon until the time comes that the population aboard can make planetfall.
It carry's 1,000 active crew (not including scientists and doctors) and 9,000 passengers. On top of this there are large cryogenic chambers housing another 500,000 people who were chosen specifically for this project. Each Ark is stocked for maximum 'compatibility' between crew members to try and ensure pairings.
On top of this it can carry one Reaper-Class Cruiser, one hundred T-22 Space Superiority Fighters and fifty AG-64 Gunships.
The Reaper-Class Cruiser is a 150M long light attack ship, designed to be able to dock with it's larger brethren. It is one of the fastest capitals in the fleet due to it's size, capable of going twice the speed of an Ark. It's weapon systems are designed to be fast tracking, which allows it to perform hit and runs on larger targets or take on strikecraft.
On top of this it is a plasma cannon on the bow that can perform a powerful strike if the Reaper manages to line up a shot. Though it's biggest advantage is that it needs a very small crew, with ten crew being the absolute minimum, due to a large number of it's systems being automated.
The Reaper is capable of carrying two T-47 Scout Ships (or T-22 Space Superiority Fighters)
The T-22 is a small craft, only 14m long. It is designed to be crewed by one pilot, however if packing ordanance it can also have a gunner. Relying mainly on two kinetic cannons as previously mentioned it is capable of packing missiles however it's main battle advantage is it's speed. It is the fastest ship humanity has to offer, with a T-22 able to leave a Reaper behind with ease. They are designed solely to be fast and nimble, with a T-22 able to rotate 180 degrees in .36 seconds.
However it is too small for any form of shielding system, so can take very few hits from any other form of strikecraft and no hits from a capital battery.
The T-47 is a small craft, clocking in at approximately 14m long. It is a single seat fighter that relies primarily on its advanced systems. Like its predecessor, the T-22, the T-47's primary armament are two kinetic cannons, as well as missile pods, though these pods are generally swapped out for extended fuel tanks. The T-47 easily keeps up with the T-22, and is only slightly slower, due to its heavier equipment and electronics suite. As a result T-47 is also not as nimble, and takes a full .8 seconds to turn 180 degrees.
While unable to mount shielding systems, the T-47 sports a stealth function, allowing it to shut off vital systems and manevure without tripping sensors. Heat generated during this time is contained in shielded heatsinks, which can be ejected after use. The T-47's electronics suite act as an extension to the sensors of its mother-ship, vastly extending the effective sensor range of its command ship with only a .25 second delay.
Overall, while extremely similar in performance to the T-22, the T-22 still remains the primary combat fighter due to its considerably lower developmental and maintenance costs.

Designed to be multi-role the AG-64 is capable of carrying 30 personnel for either boarding or landing operations, however it also packs multiple weapon batteries. From lighter cannons it also packs two impressive missile batteries which make it effective at engaging either strikecraft or capital ships. However it lacks speed, and while it does have a shielding system it is not as impressive as that of a capital ship so it is vulnerable in prolonged engagements.

The Martian Unity was formed in 2098, forty eight years after the first Martian colony was founded by what was then the European Confederacy. During the Third World War in 2068 the Martian Colony was largely neglected, with the Confederacy having to deal both the United States and the United Korean State by itself in a three way war. After the end of the war in 2079 as what was left of the European Confederacy after the Nuclear Fall of '78 joined either the newly formed Roslin Federation in the West or the Nagasaki Conglomerate in the East conditions on Mars became even worse as the Federation worked the Martians even harder than the European Confederacy had, so eventually in 2090 the Martians began to revolt.
After eight years of Guerilla warfare the Federation, with the Cold War with the Conglomerate to worry about, decided it would be easier to focus their attentions on Earth rather than Mars. Calling their military back and giving Mars their independence.
Mars is a very Pro-Life nation, they shun cybernetic enhancements (and even replacements) as weakness, all Martians also perform a minimum of two years military service after leaving high school.

The Roslin Federation was formed (originally) out of the Americas, formed during the Third World War as the United States of America consolidated itself against attacks from both the European Confederacy and the United Korean State. In a twist of fate they actually caused the formation of the Nagasaki Conglomerate. In trying to use their ties with Japan to attack the United Korean State they ended up dragging Japan into the war.
While the Nagasaki Conglomerate was the more technologically advanced the Roslin Federation had a much larger standing army, as well as economic security.
While the Nagasaki Conglomerate was the more technologically advanced the Roslin Federation had a much larger standing army, as well as economic security.
The Nagasaki Conglomerate formed midway through the Third World War. As the Roslin Federation forced themselves upon Japan to try and get a way to attack the United Korean State they dragged Japan into the war, rising tensions resulted in the formation of the Conglomerate which fought with the Americans against the United Korean state, while also gathering it's own military might and consolidating it's place within the east. With the fall of nuclear weapons the Nagasaki Conglomerate forced a surrender upon the United Korean State which was then forced to join the Conglomerate.
Since then there has been rising tension between them and the Federation, however they are far more technologically superior.
Since then there has been rising tension between them and the Federation, however they are far more technologically superior.
After the results of the Third World War, the European Confederacy (nicknamed the United States of Europe) fell. Their capital of Russia was decimated by nuclear fire, as were major hubs in all the other member states. Those who survived the fire either fled to the Federation or the Conglomerate. However up until the Arks left people are claimed to live in the nuclear wasteland.
Armani or 'Spacers' weren't an official nation until they built the Citadel at the very edge of the solar system to show their capabilities. Original members of the Arman Corporation as the members had spent most of their lives in space they decided to become fully autonomous. They are not disliked by either the federation or the conglomerate as they opted not to take sides in the cold war between the two nations, which is one of the reasons they declared their independence. This allows them to play both sides of the conflict, seen as thrill seekers and money makers most of them never touch down on solid ground in their entire lives. Due to their reliance and almost symbiotic relationship with technology many Armani willingly seek out technological enhancement through the use of cybernetics.
Despite the decimation of their fleet and resources to the Devastators the 'Spacers' were one of the main forces used for the construction of the Genesis Project. After the projects completion most of them signed up for the military for one last fight.

The United Earth Council is the unification of the Roslin Federation, Nagasaki Conglomerate and Martian Unity. While they did make use of the Armani they did not become official members for reasons unknown, which is why so few of the Armani have made it aboard the Genesis Project. Despite the need to try and stave off extinction however it should be noted that there are still tensions between people who grew up in one state or another.
NO4H, more commonly referred to as Noah is an Artificial Intelligence (A.I) that is hooked into all of the ships functions. Noahs primary directive is to help the Admiral and the rest of the ships officers perform their duties as effectively as possible, however he is limited in his actions. Only able to actually execute measures with the correct level of authorization, this is a safety precaution to ensure that an A.I. does not go rogue or perform any actions that could harm someone on the ship.
That said Noah can reject orders if executing them would put someone on the ship at risk, with the exception that the person in question is going to cause even more harm if not dealt with. When not being used in arduous tasks that demand his full attention he is typically helping to maintain systems in engineering as well as cycling through security footage so that he can help security clamp down on any issues that may arise.
Currency on board revolves around Credit Chips (More commonly referred to as Creds). Everyone aboard has one of these cards, which is topped up with a weakly allowance based on their position. It is important to note that the allowance depends on the skill required for the work, and the associated danger. As such Fighter Pilots are some of the best paid on the Arks. This currency is used within the Hub to buy goods such as clothing, exotic foods and drinks or paying to see something in one of the theatres or cinemas or to even go bowling.
Items necessary to someones survival such as basic food, water and healthcare are all free. Basic foods are the likes at which you would see in a schools cafeteria or a small café.
While named the 'bridge' after ships of old the Command Center is actually in the heart of the ship, hidden away so that it cannot be targetted by enemy ships. Different stations control different areas of the ship, and interface with other rooms with staff devoted to specific tasks (i.e. the weapon control console relays information to the gun control crews). Large hologram emitters are the main focus of the commander, who can have anything the sensors can detect brought up from live battlefeeds to planet sensor sweeps, giving him and his crew a birds eye view.
The Hangar is the single biggest room on the ship, situated around the midship it has a door on the starboard and port section of the ship. Each blast door is as thick as the outer hull, as these doors are slightly slower there are also two lighter hangar doors that can close rapidly if need be. These hangars are designed solely for the smaller craft and not the Reaper-Class, the craft are stored below the actual hangar deck and are brought up on elevators when needed.
The Reaper-Class (Named the 'Nyx' sits in hangar along the stern of the ship, and can be dropped out when needed.
The Cryogenic vault is one of the most important parts of the ship, with 500,000 souls frozen. Every chamber is meticulously watched and monitored for any change in vitals. While the pods themselves demand a large amount of power they can be removed for a short period of time from the hub without the occupant waking up if necessary however this is avoided as much as possible.
Each pod has a camera monitoring it, which allows family members to view their loved ones who are in stasis if they so choose.
The Cryogenic Vault is towards the bow of the ship, so that in the event of a catastrophic failure in the engines at the stern the cryogenic vault can seal itself and act as a disaster bunker.
The Hub is the civilian/recreational area of the ship. It has everything from bars, nightclubs, cafes, diners, restaurants, bowling alleys, movie theaters, gaming arenas and shopping centres. It acts as distribution for the goods produced on the ship and the ones in storage that were brought aboard for the journey, that said certain goods (Such as name brand alcohols, fresh meats etc.) are heavily rationed with a cap on how much a person can buy during any one week. Crew quarters for all non-essential personnel are situated around the hub, all essential personnel are situated near their place of work.
Eden is situated at the very center of the hub, a simulated outdoor environment with real plants, a day/night cycle, wind and even simulated weather. While there are seed vaults and hydroponic labs elsewhere in the ship this garden is meant for everyone to have access. It has a radius of 1km, and very strict laws on how people treat the garden to ensure that it lasts the journey. People are limited to a maximum of three hours in the garden, unless they have written permission from a doctor for therapy reasons.
The Archive has a data core, and data storage hosting all of humanities knowledge. From theoretical physics to childrens books and movies the Archive has it all. While some files are restricted for safety purposes a large portion of information, such as human history and entertainment material, can be accessed from any terminal in the ship. However physical copies of books are handled with extreme care, and are not allowed to be removed from the Archives.
The Archives are placed directly above the Hub.
Designed to be comfortable, every person on board has their own toilet facilities and room to store their own things. As well as (rudimentary) mainframe access that allows them to access the archives, and with special permissions view the stasis cameras on any of their loved ones. The window unit can be programmed for a variety of images, from outside of the Vitae (unless blocked by command authorization) to different views of Mars, Earth or our home solar system.
While the ship has walkways, elevators and ladders the ship has a large transit system, where automated electronically powered 'buses' transport people to their destinations. This transit system also allows engineers in an emergency, medical personnel, security or anyone else who has authorization to use their own vehicles to reach an area of the ship they desparately need to in a hurry.
Ship security have several of these stations situated all over the ship, sharing them with the investigator branch of things. The central security station is situated in the hub with the theory being that if any offenses are committed that is where. Those of high ranking (such as the Head of Security) are able to access all stations from one terminal, as well as cameras all over the ship.
There are four main security stations in total. Each responsible for a Sector with the two beside the hub also responsible for Hub security.
There are numerous medbays throughout the ship, each with their own operating theater, pharmacy and offices for medical staff. However rather than wards where disease can spread rapidly patients each have their own small room, with their own toilet facilities and a bed that when sealed can release numerous drugs through the form of a gas, it also monitors vitals reliably and can perform X-Ray and MRI scans without having to move the patient.
The water recycling system aboard the Vitae is nearly 80% effective, meaning that it's current stores can last for years without needing to be replenished. These stores vary, the current drainage tanks are full of liquid water, however the reserves are all frozen to conserve as much space as possible and prevent any possible spoiling. The recyled water fills a new tank, which when full is frozen into ice. The Ark also boasts fifty mining drones that can be used to mine ice from out in space, which passes through a special refinery straight into storage.
This area is under heavy supervision.
Unlike Eden the Hydroponic facilities exist solely to produce food. They don't imitate a day/night cycle instead constantly giving plants the heat, warmth and radiation that they need to grow to be as big and healthy as possible. The ship is possible of sustaining it's own population with the food it grows itself without needing to go into rationing or into the food that is in storage.
These gardens, due to the nature of them being a vital asset are also under heavy supervision to prevent any kind of tampering or damage.
While the ship is capable of producing every kind of vegetable known to man, not everyone is fond of going vegetarian. As such there is a substantial population of animals also aboard. Cows, Sheep, Pigs and Chickens all raised for maximum yield are used for resources such as meat, milk and eggs. The hides, wool and feather can also be bought in order to make products.
The farms and Hydroponics as well as all the processing facilities to make food are maintained by the same people that sell the goods or work in the establishments in the hub, that being their main reason for being aboard.
Storage is of course essential to the Arks survival. Most of it's bulk is devoted to storage of various goods, most of them being various foods and drinks that will go extinct with the loss of Sol however the stores of the Vitae hold more than that, they also hold genetic samples of both animal and plant species from Earth while also containing resources and materials needed to both keep the Ark spaceworthy for years to come but also to ensure that making a colony will go as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Sector 21 is situated near the Hub. It is a sealed section of the ship, the only way in through an airlock. This is to allow no bacteria, dust or any other substances to enter the vault. Inside this vault (Which can also act as a disaster bunker) are more crew quarters, however these quarters are designed in blocks of two with a small kitchen connecting the two rooms. Sector 21 is a section of the ship that is designed around the concept of family living, that in the case of a long voyage in space and people start having families family specific needs can be catered too.
This section also comes equipped with fully functional education suites.
Sector 75 is an area specially developed for the training of new and current security personnel. It has the standard armory and training rooms such as firing ranges and rooms made to train melee combat. However what it's pride and joy is a room that is designed purely for simulation. It is entirely greyed out with the mock up of various structures that when the command is given with the use of holograms these structures can be anything needed, this system is also capable of creating 3D holographic targets, which react like real life targets when trainees are using specialized training weapons.
Disaster bunkers are areas of the ship that are specially reinforced, with their own power generation and life support systems. They are designed to be able to survive for hours in space as a life boat. They following areas are disaster Bunkers:
- The Archives
- Cryogenic Bay
- Eden
- Sector 21
- Sector 75
- Hub Medical Bay (Main Hospital)

It is a time of conflict in the Galaxy, the Emperor is dead alongside his right hand man Darth Vader during the destruction of the Second Death Star above the forest moon of Endor during a battle that saw many of the Imperial War Machines Senior naval officers perish. As the Rebellion transitions into the New Republic all out war spreads throughout the Galaxy. A war, that is rife with opportunity.
Jabba the Hutt is dead, his sailbarge destroyed. The remaining Hutts, their numbered diminished, all vie for the scraps in order to absorb Jabbas vast criminal empire into their own. Meanwhile new players enter the field, Hutt Space is a buzz with activity as known Crime Lords rise up from the ashes of the fallen while the former Giants of the underworld try to maintain control. All the while forces of the Imperial Remnant and New Republic view the sector in chaos with greedy eyes.
O O C I N F O R M A T I O N
In this Roleplay, Players will be playing characters confined within Hutt Space. Political shiftings in the wider Galaxy, as well as within this area of space provides a rich canvas for players to make their own stamp on Star Wars history. Shall you fight with the New Republic to liberate those that have lived under the Hutts for centuries? Or will you seek the power that the Hutts once held for yourself? It is possible for a player to play as part of one of the GM controlled factions, to form their own faction or to alternatively act as an individual just trying to make a living in a dangerous galaxy.
Rules:
1. While I am open to Input, like many RP's GMs word is law.
2. No killing off other player characters/Important NPCs with just one hit. Discussion needs to happen OOC and agreements need to be made that said...
3. If you do something incredibly stupid, such as putting your character right in the way of a turbolaster blast. They're probably going to die, while I want to avoid having anyones chars/npcs die when they don't want them too, try to act logically with them to preserve their life.
4. Please keep faction growth realistic, if you are in charge of a faction.
5. No Metagaming/Powergaming.
6. This Roleplay is going to contain some slightly more mature themes, blood, gore and swearing is allowed however should be kept tasteful (no doing it just for the sake of doing it). Anything in regards to what you are doing to that alien hooker, we don't need to know.
7. In your character history mention some form of dealing with a Drunk Dug with a Gambling Problem at least once, it doesn't need to be elaborate just to make me know you've read the rules (in a non obvious manner).
8. Respect eachother.
9. Have fun.
GM - Controlled Factions:
These factions are controlled by myself in order to facilitate events that can help players progress and interact with one another.
The Hutt Clan is not what it once was, after the death of Jabba the Hutt the most infamous and powerful of the Hutt Cartel there was serious disarray amongst the council that formed the leadership of the Hutt Cartel. Their number had been seriously hurt since the start of the Clone Wars, Jabbas death had been the final nail in the coffin as Hutts warred among themselves to pick up the slack. While they still control the majority of Hutt Space they no longer have full control.
More recently a Hutt by the name of Boonatta siezed control, and rather than leading as a council 'she' rules with an iron first... as Queen.
Task Force Rancor was assigned by the New Republic Senate to investigate and, if deemed appropriate, intervene in the events of Hutt Space. As the New Republic discovers that all out war is the result of the death of the Emperor they are finding that now more than ever they need supplies, credits and soldiers who know how to fight and are not just farm boys who are thrust into conflict. Hutt Space provides a wealth of all these things, and as such the Task Force has deployed agents all throughout the sector to try and gauge support for the New Republic.
While initially they were met largely with hostility, as things change within the space more and more individuals are entertaining the idea of being free. It is still unknown whether the senate will approve military action or try a more peaceful diplomatic method, all that is known is that sooner or later the Imperials are going to try the same thing.
Player Factions:
These factions are created by players, in the Hider to the faction information it will say if it is available to be applied to.
There are two types of application, character and faction. For those of you just wanting to be scum for hire, all you need to do is fill out a character application. For those wanting a faction you will have to fill out the CS of any character you intend to use as a PC.

More recently a Hutt by the name of Boonatta siezed control, and rather than leading as a council 'she' rules with an iron first... as Queen.
These are not the only members of the Hutt Cartel, however are some of the most important.
Boonatta is a ruthless, cunning and dangerous Hutt. Largely in the shadows throughout the Cartels history, she never truly had a place on the council of the Hutt Clan. For whatever reason Jabba saught to have her distanced from the major affairs of the Hutt Clan, much like Grakkus. However unlike Grakkus who found himself imprisoned by the Rebel Alliance Boonatta managed to Capitalize on the death of Jabba. First to the sail barge where he died, first to find the recording of his death and subsequently destroy it.
She rose in power fast, and killed those that opposed her. Thankfully the Hutt life span is incredibly long, for her court has very few members and she keeps a close eye on any other Hutts that are not in her court.
Timana is Boonattas biggest rival, while he is physically more impressive than Boonatta he lacks the political support in order to do anything about killing her, and she is far too careful to be caught off guard. Instead he plays along while in public, and Boonatta keeps him around solely as he has contacts and information that is incredibly useful to her.
This is a relationship just waiting to come crashing to a terrible end, and when it does there will be blood.
Marlo was one of the Hutts that sat at Jabbas table, one of the few who did so and still manages to be in the court of the new 'Queen'. Marlo doesn't typically care who is in charge, all he cares about is his own profits and lavish lifestyle. Things are good, as he's still the biggest slave trader within Hutt Space.

I will be responsible for any information from the higher echelons of command not within Task Force Rancor.
Admiral Romi Hansumi has been with the Rebellion since it's inception, New Republic records don't shed much on his history though everyone that works for him knows that before he was a Rebel he was a pirate that targetted Imperial Shipments. While it is nothing new that an Officer in the 'Rebel Navy', now the New Republic Starfleet, used to be a pirate it's one of those facts that they aren't entirely comfortable with the ignorant masses knowing.
With his familiarity of Hutt Space, and with the results he offered during the Rebellion when the New Republic comissioned a Task Force outside of Hutt Space he was the obvious choice. He commands the task force from the MC80 Liberator.
Colonel Thereon is the officer in charge of the Pathfinder contingent placed within Task Force Rancor, while there are many other ground elements present in the fleet the only group currently active within Hutt Space are the Pathfinders, with their ability to look like just any other mercenary. Word in the fleet is that he grew up in Hutt Space and has been fighting all his life.
Wilma Imari is the black sheep in the command structure of Task Force Rancor. Former Imperial, turned Rebel Informant turned New Republic Intelligence Operative. She's in charge of the spies, the informants and the general nasty business that no-one else wants to touch. Her methods, sometimes questioned due to her past. It can't be doubted however that she gets the job done.

The believers are a radical, revolutionary movement in Hutt space. Growing slowly in the past ten years, it is most famed for the Xolu revolt however until the death of Jabba the Hutt was confirmed that broadcasts from their leader Cinder increased throughout Hutt Space and more and more members began to revolt against their previous lords and masters. Many of these revolts are quickly quashed with extreme force, however for every ten revolutionaries killed one more seems to slip away.
The leader of the Believers is a figure known only as “Cinder”. He is an enigmatic individual who, much like the organization he represents, operates primarily from the shadows. His ever-increasing bounty postings describe him as a red-skinned Twi’lek of average height and average build, possibly in his mid-to-late thirties. However, his identity has never been independently confirmed.
According to Beliefers sources, Cinder was a former slave who orchestrated a slave revolt on the planet Xolu ten years prior: an event which, at the very least, can be confirmed to have actually happened. They describe him as a brilliant tactician and a compassionate leader. He is charismatic, and is known to broadcast passionate speeches, with his voice masked, on hijacked holonet transmissions. Whether any of the information on Cinder is accurate, or if he is even an individual who exists at all, remains to be seen, but the influence that the figure has had on the region is undeniable

ULTIMATE ONE UNIVERSE SEASON TWO PRESENTS:
Iris West as
Iris West as
T H E F L A S H
Character You're Playing: Iris West - The Flash
Powers And Abilities:
Connection to the Speedforce - Iris West is the main conduit of the Speedforce in our world but she is not the source of it. This connection grants her many different abilities, the main one is her Superhuman Speed. So far she can break the soundbarrier though Barry Allen, her confidant, believes that she can surpass that if she tries harder. Most of her abilities relate to her being able to travel at high speeds. From her body being more durable, to increased reflexes.
Journalist - She's an investigative Journalist, and good at what she does. Sure, Superspeed helps that. Though even before she became The Flash she was the best reporter in Central City (in her opinion).
Season One Recap:
Iris started Season One with the Revelation that in some future timeline she wasn’t the Flash. Despite being haunted by the ease at which Professor Zoom dispatched her and the news that this maybe wasn’t her destiny, she continued to be the hero that Central City needed her to be. Fighting multiple metahumans the first true test of strength for her was in the Silver Surfers arrival. Claiming to be on Earth to ‘test’ the mettle of Earths Heroes Surfer almost completely destroyed Iris. It took all of her skills and survival instincts to stay alive. Supermans arrival tipped the scales, and when the Surfer teleported Iris away she dug deep, going far faster than she had ever been before she punched the Surfer and the threat ended.
While Iris underwent some other minor adventures the biggest was the revelation that the man she had fought to be released from prison, Henry Allen, was the Reverse Flash, a.k.a Professor Zoom a.k.a Eobard Thawne. He had used his speed to kill Barry Allens mother and get away with it, with sufficient evidence he had planted. Try and she might Iris could not beat the Reverse Flash, who stole the speed of Jay Garrick - A speedster from World War Two. Giving the speed to Barry, Iris saw a flash of a life that could have been. As soon as she saw it however, it vanished. Barry killed Henry to save her, before turning to dust before her very eyes. Leaving her alone, the sole heir to the mantle of The Flash.
Heatwaves return, and the subsequent fight with the Surfer took its toll on Iris. She realises the necessity of the heroes having some form of cohesion, but at the same time. With her vision of Jay in an unknown place, she has more questions than answers. As Heatwave is broken out of a prison transport. Chaos is about to reign on Central City, and there’s only one who can stop it.
THE FLASH
Where Do You Plan To Take The Character This Season?:
Season one for me was really a proving ground. I wanted to take forth the idea of Iris as the Flash and run with it. I went with a storyline (Eobard Thawne) where I could have Iris fight my own, and other people's, misgivings about her holding the mantle of Flash. With her being deemed unworthy, she wasn’t meant to be the Flash… etc. As Iris moves past this, I want to go on to building Central City into a very real place. Like everywhere else there is crime, there are criminal elements that the Flash can’t deal with. At least not while also maintaining some form of normal life.
Iris in this season, now that she accepts her responsibility of the Flash is going to be struggling with what that really means. What it entails, how she has to be one of Central Cities finest reporters, and report on her alter ego without letting anyone know about it. Not only that but how it affects her personal life. All this is going to be going on when a very real and present threat is going to be lurking around the corner. Leonard Snart, the renowned criminal mastermind is back to claim his turf. Central City is his, and he has a plan on how to deal with the Flash.
Supporting Characters:
Jay Garrick: Until recently Jay Garrick was an old Speedster also known as the Flash - at least back in his hayday. Robbed of his speed Jay has resolved himself to helping Iris as a mentor, even going as far as renting an old office space to use as their ‘HQ’.
Joan Garrick: Jays wife.
William West: Her father, and rolemodel. William is a police officer in CCPD, and was formerly in the Army until his wife passed away from a drug overdose.
Harrison Wells: Harrison Wells was the first to learn about Iris' identity as the Flash. Known as the 'smartest man in central city' Iris' father brought him in to help her when she was hit by lightning. He disappeared when Iris needed him, going to help the Fantastic Four and since returning has been strangely obsessed with her speed. With his vocal disapproval of her use of her abilities Iris has seen less and less of him over the past three months, seeking more the help of Jay Garrick.
Heatwave/Mick Rory: Mick Rory is an arsonist, criminal and a danger to society. Most recently he was imbued with the power cosmic in a way that allowed him to generate flames at will. This left him with serious burns over most of his body. This hasn’t halted his love for fire, if anything it’s renewed his desire to be brought back to the flame.
Captain Cold/Leonard Snart: As of yet Leonards true motives are unknown. His skills, unknown. All that’s known is that Mick Rory owes him, and he’s after the city.
Weather Wizard/Mark Mardon: Weather Wizard was the first foe she faced. He used a piece of technology in order to rob banks and other establishments, the device was capable of controlling the weather. Currently residing in Iron Heights penitentiary.
Trickster/Unknown: The Trickster is actually the second iteration, and despite foiling his plans at destroying much of the city in what would be a 'trick' Iris has been unable to catch the Trickster and put him away for good.
Hydro-man/Morris Bench: Hydro-Man was the first Metahuman Iris ever faced. Currently serving in a glass box in Iron Heights he awaits relocation to the newly refurbished Raft outside of New York City.
Atom Smasher/Manfred Mota: Manfred Mota is an older villain, recently released from prison for serving his prison time he has been seeking out the one who put him away. The Original Flash - Jay Garrick. Iris faced him once, however was unable to defeat him. He’s still out there, somewhere.

"No I'm the other Blue Beetle."
This is where you outline your vision for the character including any notable changes or differences from the regularly accepted canon. This should be a short summary that provides insight into where the character is in terms of their overall progress and development.
C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:
I've never played a Young (Hero) character, I've never played a Legacy Character and I've never done an Origin Story. So why do one of these things, when I can do all three at once! Jaime is such a great character, he's relatable and goes through very real struggles. In my eyes he's the (underappreciated or fucked up) Peter Parker of DC, he's just an average kid who gets an alien relic fused with his spine granting him superpowers and a voice in his head that always wants to go for the quick lethal option rather than the way that would reduce casualties. That's a story I want to write.
Jaime is going to be a struggling teen, his entire world is going to change. He's moved to a new city, leaving his close friends Brenda and Paco behind in El Paso and taking on life in a recently devastated New York city. I will literally be starting this thing off at day one, I mean. At least nothing bad can happen right?

I will literally be starting this thing off at day one, I mean. At least nothing bad can happen right?
C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:
- Jaimes family - Parents and sister Milagro, recently moved to Harlem in NYC.
- Paco and Brenda - Best friends for years, currently still in El Paso.
- More notes will be added as time goes on.
S A M P L E P O S T:
"Santa mierda!" Jaime slapped the palm of his free hand against his forehead as he held his cellphone against his other ear. It wasn't easy navigating the streets of New York with a phone up against his ear but he was making it work. On the other line was his two best friends back home an El Paso, Brenda and Paco. When his family had moved here to be closer to his grandmother he felt like his whole life had been left behind. Then the whole world had turned to hell, more recently culminating in the battle of New York and the Empire State building being destroyed. "How many times do I need to tell you Paco? No. I didn't see Wonder Woman in person."
"Oh come on Jaime! You mean to tell me you didn't try to take a peek?"
Jaime sighed. "No I was busy looking after Milagro when it all went down."
"Come on Jaime, live a little! You want to see that sweet hero -"
"-ow-" Jaime didn't have to be present to know that Brenda had punched, kicked or elbowed Paco in the stomach.
"You don't want anything to do with that super-hero business anyway Jaime. It's safer to stay away."
"Yeah I know Brenda, I have to head now. Hasta Luego." He hit the button on his phone to lock it before sliding it back into his pocket. Sighing he raked his hand through his hair as he walked through the nicer streets of New York. That's when the unusual happened. Some form of blue scarab fell out of the sky, landing on the sidewalk right in front of him. "¿Qué?
Jaime leant down and picked it up, raising it in his hand and letting the light reflect off it as he tried to figure out what it was. Then it started to glow, legs extending from its main body. He shook his hand trying to get it to fall off, however, it seemed to be stuck to his hand. It crawled across his arm, he was starting to shake more as he panicked. "¡Quítatelo! ¡Quítatelo! Santa mierda, que alguien ayude!"
He reached his arms over his back as it crawled over his shoulder. Then his body erupted in pain as it latched itself into his flesh. He fell to his knees, people starting to take note of him as he screamed, as a voice filled his head.

Jaime felt as if a thousand insects were crawling over his skin, biting every inch of his body as the blue and black chitin armour extended outwards from where the scarab had burrowed into his skin. People began to run away as they saw the armour begin to form and take hold off his body. He screamed, face-up in the sky as his face was encased in the metallic chitin. Then everything was dark for a moment, he could hear his breath heavy against the faceplate of the armour.

He could hear the whirr of engines as the armour clacked and changed shape, two wings forming beside him as an engine formed on his back shooting him into the air. Jaime screamed as he was thrown into the air, he could feel his stomach almost flip itself. How was this possible? He couldn't fly, he wasn't a superhero. Was this Stark Tech? What was going on?

Jaime saw the ground turn towards him for a second as he flew through New York, before the Scarab resumed control and pulled him up again.

"☊⍜⋔⌿⌰⊬⟟⋏☌
He groaned and doubled over in pain as the armour retracted into the scarab. He opened his eyes once the pain subsided, to find himself still easily forty stories high above the streets of New York.

"“Of course it was Loki. It's always Loki.”"
Thor is one of the oldest heroes, historically speaking. Having existed in a time where Gods and Humans interacted regularly, quite often they did battle as their peoples clashed. Thor did many a battle with ancient Gaelic and Scandanavian deities. His biggest test was against a figure clad in black, while he managed to survive the fight it took a toll on him. A drunk and a brute, when the All-Father Odin brought peace to the nine realms treaties were devised and the Asgardians withdrew from Midgard to focus on their more cosmic concerns.
Through his long life, Thor has witnessed the rising of the Green Lantern Corps, Nova Corps. Rise and Fall of Empires, and has always lent a hand to whoever may need it (usually in the form of helping smite one's enemies). For many years he did not mellow, his arrogance and violent tendencies commonplace and well known throughout eight of the nine realms. It took a plot from Loki, the threat of his father's death and banishment on Midgard for him to finally start to understand his true duties as God and Protector of the nine realms.
Now he divides his time evenly between Midgard, Asgard, and all the other nine realms. When on Midgard he swears loyalty to a noble group of heroes known as Avengers, heroes that helped him in his fight against Loki.
This Thor I'm going with a more traditional take, I still intend to go into some more traditional/folklore elements. I'll be exploring what it means for the world where a literal (self-proclaimed) God is active in the World and what affects that might have.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:
Thor at this point is a bit more mellow than my previous rendition off him, he still has a slight edge of arrogance. He spends most of his time on Midgard, despite Odin's protests, as he feels that is where he is needed most. He sees the potential in them, and how they can grow to be something great despite all the flaws in their past. Flaws that he has lived through, his banishment was a real eye-opening experience. He has always wielded power, so having his power removed gave him a chance to learn who he was without the power.
I want to see where Thor fits into a world with a Superman, and I honestly think the plot I have for Asgard is one of the best I've come up with. Just to blow my own horn.
How the Nine Realms work: The Nine Realms are extra-dimensional to Earth, systems that exist with Earth as a Central point. There are other planets/worlds within these realms, though they are smaller than the Galaxy at home. While the Bifrost is the may way connecting these realms, there are other more dangerous paths.

Galdhøpiggen // Norway // Ten Months Ago
A torrent of light came down from the sky striking the top of the mountain, burning runes into the ground as a tall figure walked out from the Bifrost, shining winged helmet, flowing blonde hair, and the unmistakable mass of Mjolnir at his hip. Thor was instantly recognizable even now as he stood atop the remote mountaintop onto a concrete platform. Two S.H.I.E.L.D agents flinched slightly, lowering their weapons again once they realized who it was. One went to begin a salute, while the other one just stood there stoically. As Thor approached, neither of the guards moved to open the door, Thor stopped shy of it and looked between them. “I seek entry into the Vault. I would have words with its occupant.”
The guards merely looked at each other, before the one who held the more stoic expression decided to answer. “I’m sorry Sir, we can’t allow that. You haven’t been given clearance to enter.”
Thor turned to the guard. “You must be mistaken, for I am Thor, Son of Odin. The strongest Avenger, without me this prison would not be here for I am the one who captured its occupant.”
The two guards exchanged looks. “I’m sorry Sir, Commander Hill gave us direct orders. Nobody in or out without her say so.” Thunder sounded off in the distance, barely more than an echo as Thor started to become agitated.
“Then call her up on one of your communication devices-”
“-But sir-”
Thor took a step towards the guard as he interrupted him. Thunder sounded off in the distance again, the faintest spark crackled along with the handle of Mjolnir. “I am not in a trying mood. I must speak to the prisoner now. If you intend to stand in my way, I will gain entry without your assistance.” The guards looked at each other, obviously not quite sure on what to do.
“Well Sir-” The guard barely spoke, sounds befitting more of a mouse came forth from his lips.
“Speak up Mortal.”
“Well Sir, I suppose it will be alright-” The other guard shot him a glance and he merely nodded his head towards Thor in a way Thor took to mean ‘well do you want to fight him?’ “-Afterall without you there wouldn’t be a prisoner, while you’re in there we’ll contact Hill.” Thor merely nodded and waited for the door to open, entering into the main room a series of turrets in the room sat all pointing into the prison. There was little fear of anyone moving to break into the prison, the only fear was the occupant breaking out.
It took Thor ten minutes to pass through the various checks and security checkpoints until he finally stood waiting for the final door to open. It opened like an iris, circular it opened from the center point of the center out towards the radius folding away into the walls. Inside the room suspended in the air was a circular glass unit. Shock absorbers held it in place above a pit. He didn’t know exactly how deep the pit was, merely that he had dug it for what felt like hours until he was bored. The fall may not be enough to kill the prisoner, but it would certainly cripple him. Moving as close to the cell as it allowed, he pulled up a nearby chair and sat on it. The chair groaning slightly underneath his weight.
The figure in the cell turned to face Thor.
“So Brother, how are things?”
Loki grimaced from inside his cell. “Oh they’re good Thor, these dimwitted mortals you’re so fond of just gave me some new rolls of yarn and knitting patterns.”
Thor raised an eyebrow at his brother who was sat there, raising his little knitted woolen hat in the air. “Oh come on Thor, don’t look at me like that. What do you expect me to do? I’m an immortal in prison guarded by mortals whose pathetic little lives are like ants. What do you want? Do you come to gloat? After all this time?”
The Avenger shook his head. “Nay, Loki. I merely come to see how you are, how you’re being treated, and to ask if you need anything. I have been speaking to our father-”
Loki stood up, throwing all pretense of knitting down with his little hat and needles. “Your Father, not mine. I only ever knew my father as a villain in the stories I was told by the man who kidnapped me.”
Thor grimaced. He wasn’t going to go into the whole speech about how Odin had done it to help unite their two peoples, as frankly he never quite understood it himself. This didn’t change that Loki was still his brother, no matter the ill that had befallen Midgard at his hands. He would not give up on the man he had grown up alongside. “Loki, no matter who your biological father was Odin loved you as a Son, Freyja also. She speaks of you often to anyone who will listen, and would visit herself should her station allow.”
Loki rubbed the brow of his forehead with one hand. “First of all, can you stop speaking like that?”
A look of confusion crossed Thors face. “Like what?”
“Like an Asgardian. You’ve spent five years coming to Earth, learn to speak properly, it’s not the eighteen hundreds anymore. I mean come on, if it wasn’t for our magic translating you into English you’d still be speaking Norse for Odin's sake. Get with the time's man.” Loki sighed. “Okay, second of all. If Freyja wanted to come here, she’d find away. Now, please. Leave me to my knitting.”
“Brother, it needn’t be like this. Perhaps if you were to come with me, back to Asgard-”
Loki scoffed.“What, so Odin can lock me away somewhere even worse than here? No thanks. I get television here, I get my magazines and I get my knitting. At least I have some form of entertainment. It’s better than being bound upside down with snakes injecting venom into my eyes.”
“It doesn’t have to be like this Loki, you made a mistake. You merely allowed your mischief to get out of hand, if I were to speak to Director Fury I’m sure-” Loki picked his knitting back up off the floor and begun again.
“Here’s what you’re not getting Thor. I’m not sorry for what I did, the lives lost. Damage is done.” He shrugged his shoulders. “What do you care anyway? You don’t know these people or their lives-”
“It is my sworn duty, I will protect Midgard and the Nine Realms-” Loki laughed, throwing his head back as he did so.
“Please, you just enjoy the hero worship. Getting to fly around and playing God again, I remember what you were like during the conquests. You imprison me for my misdeeds, but how many mortals fell at the hands of Jarnbjorn?”
A fire rose within Thor at the mention of his former weapon. All good humor and intent were lost from his face. “You know well that it was a different time back then, Midgard was full of war and Gods and we warred, too many have paid for our mistakes.”
Loki stood up, very carefully and gently this time. Placing the hat carefully on his seat. “We’re not so different after all. You ruled your people, made them worship you. All in the name of glory. The same way Odin sacrificed his brothers to gain control of Asgard and the nine realms, I made to sacrifice you to rule Earth. We aren’t all that different Thor.”
Thor stood. “Hear me well brother-” The figure of Loki disappeared from inside the cell. “-Brother?” He stepped forward and pounded on the wall of the cell. “I am not opening this cell, so you can stop your little parlor tricks now!” He reached down to Mjolnir and unclipped it from his belt. “I am in no gaming mood!” He turned around to leave and as he did so he looked down at his seat. Upon it sat a wooly hat.

This is where I'm going to work on Thor posts.
Thor walked, leaving the halls of Asgard behind him as he walked through the streets of his people. Some bowed as he passed, others merely nodded their heads. He returned each and every greeting in kind, for he was a God of his people. Unlike his father who barely left his gilded halls and throne of stone. Mjolnir on his hip he looked wistfully towards the end of the Bifrost. Many a day he had spent on Midgard, mortals truly knew how to live. He could remember many a Viking. Even for immortals memories faded given time. He couldn't remember the face of the first woman he bedded, nor the first troll he felled.
Yet he could feel a connection to Midgard, one he could not explain. Her people were fierce, loyal, convicted. Her world one of natural beauty and wonder. Oh, he could not wait to return. Heimdall had told him over the years that the world had changed, apparently, now they built cities of steel and stone towards the skies themselves. All wonders of technology spread throughout the globe, and yet there was still so much strife and division between the peoples of Midgard, even without the meddling of the Gods. There was one truth however that would always hold true to Midgard. Thor would always return.
He walked out along the rainbow bridge, a flash of green appeared beside him. "I am in no mood for your politics Loki, so stave your silver tongue." Loki shook his head as he increased his pace in order to keep up with the long strides of his younger brother. There was a low rumble of thunder in the distance. The smallest of smiles crossing the God of Mischiefs face.
"I only came to offer my counsel on your return to Midgard. As you know I have visited many times in order to deal with the Olympians-"
There was a crack of thunder as Thor turned to face his brother. "You?! You have been to Midgard? Loki who created mischief, war, and strife between the great Viking clans? Brought me to blows with Perun and sent me straight into the lair of Gorr the God Butcher?" Thor scoffed before turning to head to the Bifrost with renewed vigor. "I suppose I should be lucky that there is a Midgard remaining to go back too."
Thor felt Lokis hand upon his shoulder and shrugged it off. "Those were different days brother. You will also recall a time where I transformed myself into a horse, seduced a giant's steed then gave birth to Sleipnir who is now Odin's mighty steed. I wouldn't do that again, and nor would I cause mischief and mayhem."
Thor turned to Loki with an accusing finger, walking closer too him. "Hear me, well brother, if I find any of your tricks or deceit on my quest I will come for your head." Walking to the edge of the bridge Heimdall swung his mighty sword opening a path to Midgard, and as the God of Thunder disappeared Loki merely looked on with a scowl.
A beam of colored light appeared in the sky, slamming straight down into the middle of the crossroads in the center of Oslo. People screamed and took cover, car breaks slammed and horns honked as there was a burst of light. As the beam disappeared a lone figure stood. His golden flowing hair put to shame that of any model. Helm firmly atop his head, hammer in his hand, he raised it high in the air above him.
"Hail mortals of Midgard! The Mighty Thor has returned!" There was a moment of silence as people were unsure of how to react, several of them pointed strange devices in his direction, others held the same devices up to their ears, whispering into them. Thor paid them no mind, obviously, his appearance had startled them as they had not expected to come face to face with a God this day. He walked forward, ignoring the metal chariots that adjourned the paved walkway beneath his feet. Truly the people had come a long way, much as Heimdall had told him.
Looking up the towers stretched towards the sky, they did not hold a candlestick to that off the halls of Asgard but they were certainly making their best effort to do so. Though he could already feel something was wrong. He placed the hammer on the ground and knelt placing his hand on the ground. Midgard felt different, there was an uneasiness and pain in the air. The ground itself almost groaned under the enormous pressure it was under. No doubt the threat that the seers had predicted was closer than they realized. Thor looked up, pointing a finger at a nearby mortal. "You there! Where on Midgard am I?"
As Thor stood up the figure just turned and ran in the opposite direction. Maybe the All-Speak had failed him and he had not understood. There was a screeching sound coming closer, in the distance, several metal chariots came streaming towards him, Thor looked at them with disdain. "Odin's beard! I have heard Banshees that sound sweeter!" The metal objects stopped, and out of them jumped several mortals all in similar outfits. He recognized them for warriors immediately, reaching back into the chariots that brought them here they brought out metal objects that the held in their hands and pointed towards Thor. He did not know exactly what it was however, he had seen a Dwarven Crossbow of a similar design once.
"Hail Warriors of Midgard! I thank you for your assistance on this day, however, if you could just point me in the direction of the mystics-" He took a step forward, and the warriors all moved into readying positions, recoiling slightly.
<"Stay where you are, put your hands behind your head and kneel on the ground. Who are you, and where did you come from?"> So the All-Speak was working, and the Mortal he had spoken too had understood him. What he did not understand was the warriors before him, did they not know of Thor? It may have been true that he had not been to Midgard for several generations but surely they still told of his exploits?
"I am Thor! God of Thunder and Prince of Asgard. I have come from Asgard to fight a threat to the Nine Realms of Yggdrasil."
The warriors looked at one another, he could see the skeptical looks upon their faces. <"Okay buddy, whatever you say. We'll get you all the help you need, but first, you're going to need to come with us."> They looked at each other, shrugging. <"Odin sent us to uh, make sure you were ready for your quest?"> One of them raised an eyebrow at the other while Thor merely nodded.
Thor picked up Mjolnir and walked towards them. "Ah, and here I thought the All-Father did not wish me to succeed. Let us make haste noble warriors! Lead the way."
