Gutter

Name - Gutter (Formally Jacob Brown)
Alias - Gutter
Age - 20 human years (Has only been Gutter 2 months)
Powers -
Speedster: Gutter is something of a low level speedster; He can consistently travel at over sixty kilometers per hour on his own for long periods of time and for short bursts can push himself to up to one hundred kilometers per hour.

Rat Ninja: In order to survive in a world which scorns his existence, one has to know how to hide and move around unseen by those who would panic at the sight of him.

Weaknesses -
Haunted by the Ghosts of the Past: Gutter's transformation into his current state of being was not gentle on his body and it more or less shattered his mind. He does not remember his life as Jacob Brown and actively tries to blocks out memories of his human past because they are nothing more then the ghost of a dead man that cause Gutter great pain.

Book by the cover: Gutter cannot live a day to day life in proper society. While humanity as had to accept the fact that there are aliens and mutants among them, Gutter appears completely inhuman to the point where the average human being is likely to call the cops or the local superhero will swing by to try and deal with what appears to be just another animal themed villain/monster.

Personality - Paranoid, Flighty, Idealist.
Experience - Two months

Appearance:

(Note, instead of a pair of blades he wields a pair of tonfa's instead.) Gutter is neither cute nor cuddly due to the mutations that he has undergone. In fact, his appearance is damn right scary and it isn't strange for him to have to run away because someone called the cops or a super on the 'monster' they saw stalking down the street.

BRIEF Bio -
Jacob Brown was just another student at collage, attempting to earn a degree in graphic design. His parents and older sisters were loving, if slightly overprotective of him and moving out of home to go to collage was a wonderful breath of fresh air for everyone. After the 'Awakening Incident' through, Jacob Brown was considered MIA, lost among the chaos that followed when dozens, if not hundreds of people had their mutant gene forcefully triggered at once. He will likely be considered legally dead in time.

Gutter is a strange creature; Despite his somewhat cowardly instincts to avoid danger and his general distrust of humanity out of paranoid knowledge of what they would do to him if given the chance, he is still driven to try and help innocent people by a deep seated desire to be a good rat in his own mind. He tends to eat garbage and sleep in horrible places, resulting in him smelling somewhat foul, through where possible he will attempt to clean himself up.

He also has the surprising benefit of being able to be a hero at all times without having to worry about a life outside of being a hero getting in the way; He doesn't exactly have a social life and no matter how open minded an employer is, Gutter is a giant humanoid rat that tends to smell like garbage.

Key Differences - Gutter doesn't have a comic nor is he likely to ever get one.

Sample Story Arcs -
Gutter meets other heroes... first impressions likely won't go well.
Gutter tries to be heroic despite the fact that everyone seems to want nothing to do with him.
Gutter makes friends and enemies.

Supporting Characters - Anti mutant groups, pro human extremists, street level criminals, organized crime, other mutants, other supers, humanity in general.
Notes -
Jacob's transformation was triggered by an unknown minor mutant super villain who felt the need to try and speed the natural evolution of mankind up a bit by developing a substance that forcefully triggers the dormant mutant genes in those who consume it and slipped it into the local water supply; an act that caused quite a large amount of bedlam as dozens, if not hundreds of people of all genders, races and ages discovered they were mutants in a rather sudden, violent way.

Jacob's transformation was brutally painful, largely destroying his old mind and leaving him lost and confused. During the chaos, he encountered one of the other mutants taking advantage of his new powers to try and force himself on a human woman and leaped into action, taking the man down hard even as the woman screamed as she ran away.

Gutter tries to be a hero and protect innocent people largely for himself; He doesn't really care about the man things that scream and ran away from him or attack him, but something about protecting them from harm makes him feel good about himself and allows him to look his reflection in the eye.

I confess that Gutter is an OC superhero... but lets face it, all superheros have to start somewhere.

[Divine Darkness]

Will be posting a finished character sometime tonight.

Also I thought this could help players as far as locations are concerned. Not sure how dated this map is.

Marvel New York

@Divine Darkness Thanks for that

Gonna be wrecking some Atlatanteans as soon as everyone is back online. Or sooner. Depends on how close you are to the beach.

@The Kid Lantern @BlackSam3091
OK, I believe I'm finally finished with my CS. Let me know if changes need to be made.

EDIT - CS moved to Character Section.

Aimi Abe

---

POWERS

Superstrength - Spider-Girl can lift up to 5 tons. Her physical strength also extends into her legs, enabling Aimi to be able to jump to a height of several stories in a single bound.

Spider-Sense - When danger is present, Aimi feels a buzzing sensation in her head as a sort of early warning system, allowing her to react accordingly. An extrasensory "danger" or "spider" sense which warns her of potential immediate danger by the manifestation of a tingling sensation in the back of her skull, and links with Aimi's superhuman kinesthetics, enabling her to evade most any injuries, unless she cognitively overrides her automatic reflexes.
Aimi's spider-sense is actually more developed than that of Peter Parker. Whereas Spider-Man could only get a feeling that a particular spot was dangerous to him (or similarly to the preservation of his secret identity), Aimi is able to sense the exact direction from which the danger comes.

Superhuman Agility - Spider-Girl's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Spider-Girl is extraordinarily limber and her tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being's, despite their enhanced strength. She has the combined agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats. She can also perform any complicated sequence of gymnastic stunts such as flips, rolls, and springs. Spider-Girl can easily match or top any Olympic record at gymnastics apparatus such as flying rings, climbing ropes, horizontal bars, and trampolines.

Superhuman Reflexes - Spider-Girl's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are currently about forty times greater than those of an ordinary human. In combination with her spider-sense, the speed of her reflexes allows her to dodge almost any attack, or even gunfire, given sufficient distance.

Superhuman Speed - Spider-Girl is capable of running and moving at speeds that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Spider-Girl has shown to be fast enough to catch up to an accelerating car while on foot, but prefers to travel by webs

Superhuman Equilibrium - Aimi possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. She seems able to adjust her position by instinct, which enables her to balance herself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow.

Wall Crawling - Aimi possesses the ability to manipulate the inter-atomic binding forces of matter, allowing her to form temporary molecular bonds between her body and another object, which in turn enables her to cling to solid surfaces and scale walls simply by placing her hands on them.

Organic Webbing - She has organic web shooters enabling her to release strong elastic adhesive webbing through her fingertips. Spider-Woman can use these webs for transportation (web slinging), binding foes, and creating sticky nets

Weaknesses

What Did You Say? - Aimi is deaf without the use of a hearing aid. She is able to hear very loud sounds without the use of a hearing device such as nearby gunshots and explosions. But, without a hearing aid Aimi is unable to verbally communicate with others.

• Hearing Aids - These are ordinary hearing aids with no spectacular properties. The devices could possibly get knocked loose/off and/or damaged during a superhuman fight.

I'm Only Human - Despite her mutant abilities Aimi can still be killed by conventional methods.

Inexperience - In the time before the game takes place Aimi has no experience fighting super villains.

わかりません - Other than some common words and phrases used by her father, Aimi cannot actually speak/read Japanese.

Skills / Talents

Sign Language - Aimi is fluent in American Sign Language.

Point Forward - Aimi is one of the stars of her school's basketball team.

(ah-ee-mee) (ah-be)

17 yrs

Appearance

Aimi stands at 5' 6 (168 cm) and has the stereotypical slender build of the average Japanese teenage girl. Aimi is actually biracial with her father being Japanese and her mother Caucasian American. Her eyes are so dark they're nearly black and her hair, which she currently wears short, is also naturally deep brunette.

Personality
Progressive, Focused, Daring

BRIEF Bio

Aimi Danielle Abe was born to Dr Takeshi Abe and Mrs Tamara Madison Abe in Washington D.C. just over seventeen years ago. Three years later, the family would move to New York.

It wasn't too long after the move that Aimi began to fall ill. The little girl's sense of hearing was the first to be effected as it slowly began deteriorating. Over the next few years Aimi lost her stamina, easily getting winded after just a short amount of activity, her immune system began to fail, and her bones became brittle. Dr Abe and his colleagues her at a loss to what was happening to his daughter.

When all seemed lost to the Abe's a young med student introduced himself one day out of the blue. He said his name was Gerald Drew and that he might just have a possible cure for their daughter. After a few days of discussion the Abe's agreed to give young Mr Drew a chance. It had become obvious that Gerald was gifted in the field of biology and genetics. What Takeshi and Tamara did not know was that Gerald was actually the son of Jessica Drew, the original Spider Woman. Gerald's plan was to recreate the experiment -with a few modifications- that had saved his mother's life as an infant so very long ago.

After a few mishaps and failures the experiment was eventually successful. It was a slow recovery, but by the age of ten Aimi was a completely healthy child except for her deafness which oddly could not be reversed. Gerald Drew became a close and valued friend of the family after saving Aimi's life with the child affectionately calling him Uncle Gerry from then on.

Her loss of hearing never slowed Aimi down. Once she was healthy the girl's energy could not be contained. She became known by classmates as a regular daredevil as she took daring and totally unnecessary physical risks. In the seventh grade she joined the basketball team which helped keep her out of trouble after school.

Over the last couple of years, Aimi has gone through some noticeable changes. She moves much faster and reacts much quicker than other teens her age. Her strength has seen an increase too. Aimi can run circles around her team mates without hardly getting winded. Her coach and team seem to just chalk it up to years of conditioning, but her parents have began to wonder if it may be the result of something else....

Experience
None.

Key Differences
Aimi is Japanese which is a different ethnicity than other Spider-People within the mainstream comics.
Unlike Jessica Drew, Aimi did not develop a bio-electric blast. Instead, she gains the ability to create organic webbing and a spider-sense.
Aimi is also deaf.

Sample Story Arcs - [two or three ideas on where you plan on taking your character within the RP]

With Great Power... - Aimi officially becomes the new Spider-Girl.

The Bug and the Grasshopper - Two people within Aimi's inner circle learn of her secret identity and take on superhuman guises of their own. But, are they friends? Or foes?

Return of the Goblin - 'nuff said.

Clone Saga - The Jackal has returned apparently with some of the original Spidey's rogues gallery.

Supporting Characters
_{( It should be assumed that many of the characters listed below will be re-imagined and/or reborn. )}

Daniel Lee - youngest son of Ganke Lee, and one of Aimi's closest friends. Like his mother, Danika, Daniel can be pretty obsessed with superheroes.

Amber Osborn - Aimi's friend and classmate, daughter of Norman H. Osborn.

Dr Gerald "Uncle Gerry" Drew - son of Jessica Drew, and the one responsible for saving Aimi's life.

Lady Octopus - A cannibalistic (mutant?) super villain with tentacles growing from her back.

The Jackal - Is it the original Prof. Miles Warren or a clone?

Green Goblin - Spider vs Goblin, the war begins anew...

Alchemax - Company founded by the original Green Goblin, Norman Osborn.

Other possible characters could include:
The Beetle, the Scorpion, the Tarantula, the (Human) Fly, Steel Spider, Maggot, Vermin, Frogman, Shocker, Blue Streak... (yes, I may be willing to share some of these characters with other players.)

Also, wouldn't it be cool if Brandon, Lucy, Jacob, Amy and Aimi all went to school together?

[An Outsider]

@Bright_Ops Interesting sheet so far, though you haven't filled in the bio section. Sort that and I'll have another look.

@Divine Darkness No issues on my end. If KL's approved, then you're accepted.

@BlackSam3091

Oh! Sorry, thought that was a section header. I will fix it shortly.

@Grec

Well Jacob's already out of school [pretty sure he's the oldest one of the group] so he'd be in college. And your guy's in Queens so I doubt he's gonna travel all the way to Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn to go to a community college. I DO like that little group though, and could see us meeting in a library or something. Perhaps Jacob goes to a library cause the computer in Ben's home is built for his giant hands and just ridiculous to try and use.

IDK, I'm up for more ideas though.

~KL~

[Grec]

@The Kid Lantern Actually Brandon is a Brooklyner but a library meeting place would be cool.

Maybe when our characters are older they'll go to College together

[Demon Shinobi]

@Grec@The Kid Lantern
Lucida's gonna be dorming at and going to ESU (Empire State University)
You know, that one college in New York in the Marvel Universe that a shit ton of characters sometimes happen to go to and drop out of and then maybe go to again sometimes.
IDEK point is, one character is out of school, one is going to a university. Probably studying humanities or something... Idk.

[Divine Darkness]

@The Kid Lantern Am I to take your as an approval of my character or do you need more time to look over the CS?

Also, what time of year is it in the game?
Sorry, but I haven't yet had time to sit down and read all of the IC. Though I have seen that it is currently a Sunday...

year 2025

---

@Bright_Ops I can't believe you don't have the Morlocks mentioned in your Supporting Cast

[Grec]

@oakman@Malikoy

Are you guys out? Haven't posted in a while

[Omega Man]

@Divine Darkness Yeah it's on a Sunday in the team-up happening between Thing, Darkhawk, and the Inhuman... but I never really go into much more than that as far as the date. Somebody else's post could be taking place on a Tuesday.

As far as catching up on the IC, when it's more of a sandbox style I generally wait until a character's got two or three posts and I read each character's story in larger chapters. I've still gotta catch up on @BlackSam3091's Kid Loki, the rest of Darkhawk and Anders meeting, and one more character...

~KL~

[Grec]

@The Kid Lantern I have to comment on @BlackSam3091 post being a good read despite being incredibly long. Good job, was honestly worth the read.

[Bright_Ops]

@Divine Darkness
Didn't know they were a thing...

Besides, Gutter doesn't view himself as a mutant; He views himself as the first of his kind!

[Omega Man]

@Divine Darkness Forgot to mention she's accepted.

@Bright_Ops Let me take another look at Gutter and I'll let you know tonight or early tomorrow morning if there's anything wrong with the CS. If he doesn't have any affiliations I like the idea of that sort of character knowing a Morlock or two.

~KL~
