[Weird Tales]

[Lightning]

[Weird Tales]

Name: Jack Alworth
Alias: Polymer
Age: 14
Gender: male
Powers:
Superhuman elasticity/plasticity, malleability: Jack can make his body become a rubber-like substance and can stretch all parts of it to insanely long lengths. This can range from limbs to fingers, feet and neck. This ability also allows him to squeeze through extremely tiny spaces such as cracks in walls and floors. He can also expand his body like a balloon for the purpose of catching falling people or absorbing hits from larger opponents. This power grants him very strong resistance to bludgeoning and piercing damage.

In combat Jack's main method for battle is restraining his opponents by wrapping around them like a snake and constricting them. He can also throw elongated punches and kicks to hit foes from a distance. Jack can also perform some shape-changing, but at his current level of skill with his powers he can only take a few shapes such as cube or tree.

Weaknesses: he is very weak to heat and cold attacks.
Skills/abilities: He is very skilled in the field of chemistry and engineering. He likes to be more hands on than sitting in a study room reading a book.

Bio: Jack was born to a working class family in the Midwestern city of Buckeye Ohio. His dad worked in a printing factory, which wasn't the greatest job, but it kept food on the table and paid the bills. Though take your kid to workday was rather boring for Jack. His early childhood years were a little lonely since he had trouble socializing with other kids thanks to have anxiety.

While he was in elementary school Jack was a bit of an outcast and only had one friend who was a boy named Charlie. The two hanged out, but Charlie was more of the studying hard type while Jack was the curious and experimental kind of boy who liked to test theories of his.

Things got a little better when he went to high school and he had fixed most of his anxiety problems and found it easier to socialize. One of his tricks was being a bit of a joker, which for him was good at defusing anxiety building up inside him. It was also in high school where developed his skill in chemistry and engineering.

However it was high school where his life would change permanently. About three months into his freshmen year at George Washington High, Jack's metahuman powers activated and he discovered that he had the power to stretch and bend his body like it was rubber.

at first he used his new found gifts for practical jokes and pranks, but eventually he realized that he could use these powers for good and he created a costume and took on the name Polymer. He now is trying to fight crime with his powers all the while hoping to keep it a secret from his parents.

Eventually his dad got a job in Los Angeles and he transferred to a school in their new home. It some time getting use to and he missed his old friends and schoolmates, but he would manage. Also LA meant that he would get a chance to meet other heroes like himself and maybe learn some things about fighting crime.

Hope i'm not too late to apply! I'll start working on my CS today.

[Weird Tales]

@Lightning finished my cs

[Lightning]

@Weird Tales looks good, add it to the character tab.

@Chain nope, not too late.

[Grec]

@Lightning Is it really too late to apply or am I too late? Just been busy lately.

[Lightning]

@Grecyou are welcome to join

[Lightning]

ok IC is up...I think, I never used the zeroth thing before hopefully it can be seen. All hero characters are welcomed to Wayward House (Wayward Manner sounds better)just mention that either Tech or Athena gave you an invite and a button/pin to get into the House, just walk in whenever your ready for introductions. In about a week or so we'll start the the first story and all new heroes will need to be invited into the house after that happens.

[Virani]

@Lightning Just to check, are we going with Athena helping out at my char's vets? I think it would be a good way for Ash to have learned about the house etc?

Also should I post my villain doing stuff or wait?

[Lightning]

Yeah, you can mention that Athena helps you if you want and go ahead and post as Nate.

[Virani]

Awesome, I'll start working on my posts. I'm so excited to get things rolling! :)

[Virani]

Wildheart's post is up, working on Photon's now. Should have that up shortly :)

[Lightning]

I added a drawing of what I pictured Kat's look to be when she is Ghost...it's so embarrassing.

[Virani]

I still have no idea for Wildheart, I've scoured google but no luck. Plus I'm crap at drawing so can't even draw my own.

[Lightning]

I think that everyone else flaked ><

[webboysurf]

Shame, was considering jumping in on this one. Had a couple ideas for OC's I've created but never used. I'll keep an eye out and if other people start picking this up I might whip something up.

[Lightning]

well if viani is still into this I'm ok with just keep going, I'll post some stuff tomorrow

[Weird Tales]

sorry for my absence. I am moving tomorrow so I won't be able to post until saturday

[Virani]

I'd be happy to do this RP as 1x1 if everyone else couldn't do it!
