Actually could you just post again as the High Venom and assume Ace followed? There's not a lot for me to react to quite honestly.

High Voltage has the power to store and manipulate electrical energy. This grants immunity from all forms electricity and the ability to absorb it from outside sources to store it to use for his powers. He can use this store energy for several different things:
Electric discharge:
The most straight forward of his powers High Voltage can discharge the electricity stored in his body in various ways. Examples of such are projecting bolts of electricity, creating Electric Bombs, creating large blast of electric energy, and charging weapons with electricity.

Electric Aura:
He can surround themselves with electricity giving him an array of different offensive and defensive uses. From the power to project barrier of electric energy. As well as enhanced his physical and mental attributes using electricity to stimulate the nerves.

Weakness:
Due to situation that caused him to developed his powers. He carries a fear of medical equipment and by extension any place that stores or use it. Being near it will cause him to start flash-backing to when he was experimented on and lose control of his powers.
Insulated material such as rubber and silicate can block his powers.
Water can cause him to short-circuit out.

Personality:
A ruthless mercenary, High Voltage will do whatever's required to complete his contracts and shows little to no empathy for his enemies. He is willing to take any contract regardless of what he must do if it pay enough. He can be pretty arrogant considering himself the strongest merc in town.

Appearance:
High Voltage wears a modified jumpsuit with gloves and a face mask that have modified to copper wiring interlaced throughout the suit to help to better channel his electricity. Standing at 6'1 and weighing at 190 lbs his strong built body is covered in lighting scars.

Background:
High voltage had a normal life growing up in the Midwest as George Spencer. He did well enough in his academic endeavors to be able to go to college. All of this change when he had a chance encounter with an old man. Coming back to his dorm from late night class he stumbled across a gang try to mug an old man. George imminently when to go to the man aid the truth of the situation was reviled. the whole situation was a trap, the old man reviled himself to be a villain with the gang his henchmen. George was quickly subdued by the minions and carried off.

Back at the villains laboratory George was subjected to dozens of different experiments. The purpose of with to artificially trigger the appearance of the superpower. Unfortunately it worked, with his power being activated in such a way caused a massive electric surge destroying the lab. Emerging from the smoke of the destroyed contaminant cell George was covered in lightning scars he was change. Through the electric overcharging his brain altering his old personality. Quickly leveling the lab and killing all inside he escaped. Now calling him self High Voltage he spent a few years wander the nation committing petty theft to get by. Eventually he got involve with small time gang operating out of New Orleans as a hired muscle. It was there that High-voltage discover his purpose in life being a mercenary. Over the next five year he spent traveling over with world taking various contracts. During that time he manage to earn a reputation as one of the most dangerous mercs on the planet, earning a spot on inter-pols most wanted list. Now High Voltage has made his way to epic city in search for new opportunities.

@eemmtt
Ah yes, I remember now. My apologies, I thought Reg had replied on the matter. My brain has been so scattered lately due to stress and personal problems arising.

So, from my memory there were a few minor issues and things to note:

• I want you to be aware that taking the title of High will get you in a lot of hijinks from said High, particularly the Electric.
• We'd like you to drop the electromagnetic field ability, or limit it pretty heavily.
• The weakness is too literal to the powers. While those are reasonable limitations , they're not really weaknesses. Weaknesses, which completely strip one of their powers, generally stems from personal fear from before the powers materialized.
• Given his history, I'd suggest medical equipment, old people, hooligan looking people... Any of those, really, or something else if that helps.

I think that covered everything, unless I missed something....@Regitnui?

[Regitnui]

@Old Amsterdam all good. Apologies, @eemmtt.

[eemmtt]

@Old Amsterdam
Alright I did some editing to the sheet.
1. he doesn't have the title of high. High Votalge is just his name he got it off a high voltage danger sign.
2. I drop his electromagnetic abilities.

[Old Amsterdam]

@eemmtt
We know he doesn't actually have a High title, but just by having High in his name will give for some interesting interactions from the actual High. Not something that really needs changed, just a warning from us to you.

But I think that covers everything we wanted changed. So feel free to move over to the CS tab and get started in the IC.

Unless @Regitnui thinks of anything else. In which case we'll just Retcon the CS a bit and all, but I don't think it would be anything to stop you entering the IC now.

Welcome to Epic City, mercenary.

[TheHangedMan]

What's been happening lately?

(Sooooo sorry for being gone for so long. I'm on my home stretch for College and all that's left is thesis, then internship, so I've been busy)

[Old Amsterdam]

@TheHangedMan
Let's see, since last I remember you popping in...

Guilt transformed into a monster, Finch joined the Alkahest, Lucky got murdered, Alex is fighting Rend, Mimic and Dian are fighting Magus outside of Dragon's house where Spectrum and Charlotte are....

Uh, think that's all the major stuff.

[Flamelord]

Man, I'm glad that I don't have to worry about all this heavy drama stuff (He says, aware that he is jinxing himself)

[Riddle Me This]

Is this still open for folks to join up? If so, what sort of areas are kinda lacking in terms of character diversity?

I'm thinking of playing a low-level criminal freak that maybe becomes a lackey to one of the bigger villains, a general annoyance to the heroes or something else along those lines.

[Regitnui]

@Riddle Me This Sounds great.
