DC London

[AngelofOctober]

Welcome to DC London, while in fact this RP is set in the DC universe there will be slight variant differences than the DC you know. This RP takes place in London, England thus the DC London bit and this RP will not entirely work like another beat em up action RP taking down heroes. Instead the RP will focus on cases, like old Batman comics or even like the Hellboy series, where you will get contracts and cases that you must solve. You may get a few action arcs as well, however, I feel like always going for beat em up action RPs gets boring. You are a part of the London Hero Alliance, the LHA, where various heroes have been recruited for their unique set of skills and powers to take solve and take down your foes. So, do you have what it takes to be a great hero and a great detective?

There will no specific plotline, maybe here and there after we get started, but in the beginning it will be a few simple cases. That I will be basing on the skills and knowledge you give your characters. This RP will be very open world, do what you want, until you get the call. With limited slice of life development moments, character arcs so again the more information you give me in your sheets the more I can build for you something wild crazy and amazing for you, limited plots, and a do what you want type of concept.

This is probably where I’ll lose the most interest is my character sheet. And it’s because I of the system I am using. I like simple, technical systems. In this RP, we will be basing our character’s power level based on a tiered system. Tier 1 being Batman - he has no superpowers. Tier 10 being Superman - considering he cannot be pierced so and so forth. No character for right now should be past Tier 5 - which we will put as Raven. Powerful, but not nearing some super human demigod.

Other than that when it comes to power stats. You either need a + or a -. + = a character strength and - = a character weakness. You will need 2 of each, 2 positives and 2 negatives. And this is as technical as the RP gets when it comes. It’s simply easier for me to gauge where your character is at in terms of power, strength, and capability.

You are allowed up to 2 characters.

Alias: Oxylus

Tier: 4

Years Spent: 3

Age: 25

Appearance:

A young man with unkempt, golden brown hair stood before you. Despite his edgy appearance it was betrayed by his excitable personality. While on one hand the unusual tribal, modern, rock star visual style, makes him seem edgy and unapproachable. His genuine warm smile, that brings out his dimples, show a very different person. Category handsome, he has a few scars on his face. He wears a few accessories that give him a hipster look, simple bands with studs, and black rubber bands. Torn skinny jeans and brown shoes with aesthetic dots. His style is as funky as his fun personality.

Lanky and lean, he's not necessarily the picture of a hero. Who are often herculean size men with bulging muscles. Standing at 5'8", with a light counter tenor voice. Lowell isn't exactly the picture of what a hero might look like when you're looking towards the likes of Superman as a role model. That doesn't mean to discount his capabilities though.

Like Everybody Else

Personality: WIP

Power Stats:

Strength +

Magic +

Speed -

Fortitude -

Powers:

“I wonder if my ancestors wonder if the world is weird. Wonder if I’ll be cursed for using a mere piece of paper.”

It is important to note that Lowell is not entirely human, his family bloodline descends from ancient animal spirits mixed with his human blood. His family an ancient order of werewolves, once expected to be wards of the wood. Instead that seems to be a lost purpose though his drive to protect is probably what led him to become a vigilante in the first place. Due to the druidic and werewolf blood in his body, Lowell is able to freely transform into wolf form. The nature of this wolf form is dependent on the time of day it is and so do his powers. His strongest form being during night, especially on the full moon. His weakest form being during the day.

Transformation -

Day Wolf -

His day wolf form is the weakest, being able to transform merely into a “normal wolf”. Normal in the context that he could be mistaken for an ordinary dog or wolf. Though his day wolf form still has unique properties. Can see auras and smell magical presences even when invisible. Can communicate with other canines and even command them for upwards to a minute.

Don't Underestimate Small Packages

Werewolf a.k.a Night Wolf -

There stood in the middle of the street, a beast as tall as an average man. At 6ft, it’s skin exposed with a muscular build and some fur alongside its backside. It walked on all two feet, but could cover more ground on all fours if it so desired to do so. It’s pupils were simply glowing, orbs of light, and it spoke in a snarling, animalistic way. Despite having no animal savagery. In this form Lowell is more powerful than his human counterpart.

His night wolf form not only has the ability to cast magic as he is able to do so. It can command any other canine until he releases it upon command. His skin gains natural armor and cannot be pierced by common bullets or common weaponry. He gains natural bite and claw attacks, and his wounds are cursed as well. Though the wounds do not turn someone into werewolves as legends state, instead he leaves mortal ordinary enemies with cursed wounds that could not be cured - for all others with the knowledge and know how they would be able to lift the cursed magic left behind his bite and claws leave - that those afflicted by will feel constant pain even when they have healed and scarred over.

Has supernatural strength in this form as well. Is able to pickup a human being with one arm freely throw them around like a ragdoll and stop small cars in their track, like a four door sedan. Has the ability to see auras and smell magical presences even when invisible.

When walking on all fours, has a greater speed and jumping capabilities. Able to cross a single foot or two with a single bound.

In the Light of the Full Moon

Outside of being able to transform, Lowell comes from a family of druids, thus he is able to cast magic. His magic is limited to elemental magic and it is limited to elemental magic his family is associated with. These being the domains of wind, earth, and wood. His magical gains a great boon during the full moon. All spells require a physical form of the element he is trying to manipulate in order to perform the spell. Wind is trickier in that sense, and often limited by the breeziness of the day.

Wind Domain Spells -

Gust - On particularly calm breezy days, Lowell can perform a gust spell by pushing the slight windy breeze towards his enemies in a slightly annoying gust of wind. Which knocks them back 3ft. On particularly stormy days, he can knock them down onto their backs 3ft away.

Earth Domain Spells -

Rock Drop - Another particular annoying spell of Lowell’s gives him the capability to manipulate fist size rocks and drop or pushing them towards his enemy with a great magical force. This rock only sails about 10ft, but try explaining that to the insurance company when your car gets smashed by one.

Meteorite Dust - Lowell doesn’t just control fist size rocks, he can also manipulate tiny pebbles. Often coarse and irritating. Simply another annoying spell, used to blind enemies in the eye, or get into places that would be considered uncomfortable even to a humanoid alien. Needs a direct throw into the enemies face.

Wood Domain Spells

Root Snares - Able to manipulate branches, vines, and roots to create foot snares or trip enemies. Requires him to be at least in a 60ft range of whatever vine he is trying to manipulate.

Life Wood - Able to manipulate seedlings which he can throw into his enemies wounds. The magic seedlings he throws into his enemies wounds grow by their life energy and grow outside the wounds. Imprisoning them in a leafy doom. Takes upwards to a minute for the seeds to grow, requires Lowell’s magic in order for them to grow. Can be taken out, and requires many seedlings in order to overwhelm an enemy. One seedling might be just a slight annoyance as a tree grows from your arm. Multiple seedlings allow a root system to to develop in your veins and arteries.

Alongside his magical capabilities his blood gives him;
High Tolerance to Pain - it takes a lot to bother Lowell with pain, it just so happens there’s a bunch of superpowered freaks that might do the trick. In retrospective this is more helpful after the fact, which is getting out of danger.

Long Age Span - Despite seemingly looking ordinarly human Lowell may live a much longer than the average. His age span and longevity a lot higher due to the magic and wolf blood in his body.

Sharp smell - of course even outside of wolf forms Lowell has a sharp sense of smell. Probably the reason he’ll hate you for having nachos for lunch.

Weaknesses:

Chocolate - no seriously. Consumption of chocolate can slowly poison Lowell, enough of the stuff can kill him.

On a more serious note, Lowell is not superpowered in the sense that he could still probably die by a death fist by Bane and other superpowered abilities. He is susceptible to magical attacks especially. And while merely common weapons cannot kill him, enchanted ones and magical ones can, as well as traditional silver can harm him.

Skills:

Certified Dog Training - Before Lowell went to college for a degree in wildlife, he spent his years volunteering for an animal shelter. There he was certified to be a dog trainer, with his unique capability to communicate with dogs in a way that no other volunteer could. His manager always use to compliment him with the phrase "it's like you can speak to them". If only she knew the truth.

Card Games - Lowell is considered the latest professional in his card game of choice. However, he was banned from a local tournament after a bout of overt excitement had him topple a table, several cards, and a shelf in an overzealous display of cheer for winning a particularly tough match.

Wildlife Biology - His current area of study in college, where he has learned how to identify different birds, how to track radio collars used for endangered species, where he can read, trace and tracks through the prints and scat they leave behind. So and so forth.

Druid Knowledge - Part knowledge he has inherited by his bestial cursed blood and part knowledge he had to learn. He knows how to identify other druids by their clans and their element domains they are focused on. He can also read secret messages left behind other druids. He can also leave his own messages behind that can only read by other druids.

Self Taught Casting - Lowell has no master, he learned how to master his elements through his own personal will. He is self taught caster which makes his skill unpredictable and wild in nature. It also means it is more difficult to pin point where a specific skill would come from as Lowell is always experimenting with ideas and fundamentals to improve upon.

Appearance: Killer Queen doesn’t look out of the ordinary for a cat. She’s a bit smaller than average, and in healthy physical shape. Her fur is light grey with darker grey tabby stripes and a white muzzle and stomach.

Super Appearance: She doesn’t wear anything different when powered up. The only difference is the appearance of a third eye that emits orange energy.

Powers: Luka doesn’t have any powers of his own. He’s athletic, but not much more than the average person; and below average when it comes to upper body strength. Killer Queen is a different story, however. In addition to human-level intelligence, she can use telekinesis to move objects, as well as herself in a way that resembles flight. She and Luka share a mental bond that allows them to hear each other’s thoughts. Thanks to this bond, Killer Queen can share some of her telekinesis with Luka, making him much more acrobatic and lighter on his feet than the average person.

Skills:

Killer Queen is amazing at hunting small animals. If she wasn’t around, Luka’s apartment would have been taken over by squirrels long ago.

Equipment: Killer Queen doesn’t carry anything, and Luka carries basic first aid materials and cat treats in his belt.

Weapons: Killer Queen doesn’t use any weapons except for her telekinesis and her claws and teeth if necessary. To make up for his lack of strength, Luka wears gloves with metal spikes on the knuckles. They won’t do much lasting damage, but they hurt like hell.

The Edgelord (WIP)

Name: Jack Valent
Age: 26
Alias: Edgelord, or sometimes The Edgelord
Tier: 3
Years Spent in LHA: 2
Species: New Breed Human

Appearance:

Jack is somebody you could easily describe as "handsome", what with his sharp jawline and well-groomed dirty blond hair, both atop his head and on his face. Piercing blue eyes and a muscular frame about 180cm high complete the image, further assisted by a soothing voice with a very slight Irish accent to it and a simple shirt-and-trouser getups that emphasize his physique, usually unintentionally. The simple clothing is important for him, as in a pinch...
Super Appearance:

...he can strip himself down to his underwear and produce blades covering his entire body. The above image is not precisely indicative of how he looks in this state, but it is a decent enough representation; typically, he will also hide his face with these blades, masking his identity and protecting his head from injury.
Personality: Despite his superhero name and harsh backstory, Jack is a surprisingly mellow individual, his attitude bordering on irreverent, even tangential to a situation at times, a fact that might make him seem quite odd if he weren't so calm otherwise. Though he certainly faces both internal and external moral conundrums as to the nature of his abilities, he tends to approach them and other situations with a "well, it happens" mindset, shrugging off trauma with relative ease and not typically looking back at his past too much.
This does not, of course, imply that he never feels negative emotion - for instance, deliberate and spiteful reminders of his past or other similar tragedies will lead him to grow very quiet, and he has a tendency to try and help people whenever he can, to the extent that he'll almost always assist somebody in trouble to the best of his ability unless it's physically impossible for him to reach them.
Completely coincidentally, Jack is bisexual, with a thing for cute guys in particular. This has led to him having a bit of attraction towards Luka, though he tends to hide it behind his usual mellow persona. Plus, he reminds himself regularly, Luka being telepathically bonded to Killer Queen basically means any physical interaction between them would indirectly affect a cat too, even if it is fully sapient.

Powered Stats:
Strength +
Psychic/Magic -
Speed -
Fortitude +
Powers: Jack's basic powerset is that of a low-power brick, combining substantial additional strength somewhat below peak human with a degree of enhanced healing - not enough to restore a lost body part, but certainly sufficient that mortal wounds to a regular human are merely debilitating for a time to him, as well as offering what amounts to boosted stamina. These alone might leave him easily mistaken for an especially strong and resilient human, but what pushes him into the realms of true superpower is his ability to generate razor-sharp blades from his body out of most solid substances, from bone to titanium, and even to material like glass, as well as retracting and regrowing them at will. The obvious benefit of this ability is an effectively limitless supply of weaponry to attack people with, often sufficient to cut through most armour and reformed easily even if broken; less obvious is the fact that it also affords something akin to limitless armour itself, as not only does covering yourself in regenerating swords make it harder to attack you effectively to begin with, but it also offers a great deal of resistance to harm depending on what the swords are currently made of, not to mention a surprising amount of versatility.

Skills: Swordsmanship - Naturally, Jack's power encourages him to utilise his natural weapons to their fullest extent, which generally means practicing in and studying swordsmanship on the regular. More particularly, his practice includes work in various styles, ranging from historical European martial arts to kenjutsu, giving him a wide, albeit somewhat shallow, range of expertise, combined with an unusually deep pool of knowledge about them.
Fisticuffs - Jack has also taken up a limited degree of practice and study in nominally unarmed martial arts, most prominently boxing and streetfighting, though his theoretical knowledge again far surpasses his practical skill. On the one hand, he has the strength to do reasonably well in these combat styles even with relatively little skill; and on the other hand, one gains an edge in such things when one can literally produce an edge from themselves at any time they desire.
Weightlifting, and lifting in general - It's been suggested to Jack recently that he take up weightlifting to further improve his already-substantial strength. To that end, he's managed to figure out the best routines for doing so, and in the process further taught himself how to lift more conventional objects properly too, making him a good choice for hauling heavy items around. It helps that he can also recover more rapidly from any injuries he deals himself unintentionally, too.
Analysis - Jack is not traditionally intelligent; as far as logical thought goes, he is quite average indeed. He is, however, able to chug through data like a machine, and is perfectly happy to read through and process long lists for hours on end, which perhaps explains why he is able to retain so much theoretical information on various topics.
Cooking - Jack regularly maintains that one isn't really a proper adult unless they can cook their own meals, something he's had to do since a young age. He'd call himself decent, compared to somebody like Gordon Ramsey; most others would say he's far better at it than he gives himself credit for.
Equipment: Nothing, aside from the blades he can grow out of his body. Sometimes he breaks them off and throws them at people, but he absolutely prefers melee combat.
Weapons: Nothing, aside from the blades he can grow out of his body.
Fighting Style: You might expect somebody whose body can produce infinite swords to be quite unrefined when it comes to combat. As it happens, flailing wildly with a bunch of swords is rather unlikely to significantly hinder anybody; thus, he's actually taken a sensible approach and made time to train his ability to fight with his blades like actual weapons. Moreover, this training has covered many different styles of swordsmanship and unarmed combat, making his combat style a little unpredictable - albeit rather simplistic, once one realises what he's doing. A jack of all trades does not a master make.
Policy: One would not be wrong to expect a man who generates swords to kill people, and Jack certainly isn't one to shy away from the act if it's necessary. If. A life taken is not so easily given back, something he knows all too well, and he makes absolutely sure to exercise caution in this regard, ensuring first that an act of slaughter is appropriate for a situation before indulging in it. Mere petty theft isn't worth slaying a man over; threatening the life of an innocent, on the other hand, surely is.
