Villains 'R' Us

[Absolute Grace]

I’m bad. And that’s good. I will never be good. And that’s not bad. There’s no one I’d rather be than me.
- The Bad Guy Affirmation

Hello there!
So I have been thinking, what’s up with all the superhero rps? Villains are people too!
If you agree then this’ll be an rp for you XD

Guidelines:
1) 17-45 age limit on characters.
2) Original villains please.
3) Genre = Action / Humour / Romance / Semi-slice of life / Sci-fi.
4) Any heroes masquerading as villains will be terminated
5) This can be used as a place for venting. Had a bad day, vent on a NPC hero :)

I thought it would be cool to begin it in a jailbreak, where my character purposely gets captured so that she can free those of her choosing and recruit them into ‘Villains R Us’.

Interested? Fill out the CS below and post it in this thread. Beware, I will be picky in choosing (If you do not put effort into it then you will be ignored.).

You may continuously edit your CS until I post ‘STOP!’.

You will be alerted by a PM if you have been chosen.

My Character

Real Name: Susannah Marksin
Codename: MindWarp
Age: 19

Personality: What she lacks in physical strength, MindWarp more than makes up for in her cunning intelligence. Everything she does has a purpose, unless she is just angry and finds that her actions need no greater purpose other than venting. Although it will take a lot more than mere words to anger her. MindWarp is rather aloof in temperament, but a remarkable trickster in that she can morph into different personas and use them for her benefit. For example, pleading to have her ‘dearest fathers’ room number and key to set up a surprise birthday party. AKA get an important businessman’s room number and key then steal all-important information and/or set up a self-destructing device for his termination.
In her off times, MindWarp contemplates reality and illusion but always comes up with the same response, “what is reality but a higher plane of illusion?”

Ability/power/s: The Ability to warp minds, AKA Mental manipulation
+ Psionic Inundation = Ability to overload another's mind, causing pain and/or lack of consciousness.
+Psionic shockwaves = A devastating Psionic attack that wracks the minds of all nearby foes. Affected foes may be left Disoriented. A second wave may affect motor functions leading to possible paralysis. A third may well be fatal. But she has not been able to create a third.
+ Illusions = The power to create and manipulate illusions.
+ Mental shield = Because of her ability of mental manipulation she has an immunity against direct mental attacks, though telepaths could still hypothetically enter her mind, they are most likely to lose their own in the process.

Weakness: Hand to hand combat and brute strength.
- Robots = they don’t have a mind to manipulate.
-Other mental manipulators. Powers will equal each other out.

Extra: Born in an upstate apartment to wealthy parents, Susannah was often left alone with the house keeper until her parents returned at 5pm. When she was five her brother was born and any attention she might have received from her parents was taken away and replaced. It was also around this time that her powers were coming into effect and she used them to vie for attention. The stronger her powers became the more horrified her parents got until one day they had enough. They sent her with her housekeeper on a trip to the slums but by the afternoon the housekeeper returned alone and was given a substantial amount of pay added to her usual salary. What happened to Susannah after that was anyone’s guess.

She doesn't exist in the files of the world. She had been secretly cast out from her family and filed as deceased. She no longer uses her birth name because she believes that she has been reborn into MindWarp.

Why choose me?: Your character should definitely choose mine because well… they are the same character! But I suppose I can tell you how wonderful, amazing and fantastic she is. MindWarp is a notorious trickster (The very best!) and it doesn’t hurt that she is also breathtakingly beautiful. MindWarp, as a notorious trickster has a silver tongue which can be used to get her out of almost any situation without the need to use her ability. How Awesome! Her illusions are so perfect, so precise that they affect even things on a molecular level including hearing and smell. What’s more amazing than that?

[Assallya]

Real name: Sarah Covenry
Codename: Darkshadow
Age: 21

Personality: Sarah is a coward, first and foremost. She is also a bully and enjoys having power over others. Slothful and somewhat gluttonous she wants for nothing more than to lounge about in opulence and otherwise enjoy herself. In essence, she represents the litany of the seven deadly sins.

Ability/power/s: Umbrakinesis. While it is true that Umbrakinesis is impossible Sarah's power seems to defy that. In truth Sarah in an Ectokinetic, able to summon forth Ectoplasm for a variety of effects.
--Darkness Generation: The Ectoplasm summoned can blot out light.
--Ectoplasmic Solidification: The Ectoplasm can become walls, spheres, staircases and the like and is fully capable of stopping bullets.
--Costume and Weapon Generation: The ectoplasm can cling to Sarah's astral form, guarding her body by converting slashing and piercing attacks into blunt. Bullet's can't go through her but hit her like a supersonic fist and hurts like hell.

Weakness: Ectoplasm, being ghostly or ethereal doesn't deal well with sunlight. While she can shroud an entire football stadium in darkness during from dusk to dawn she can barely fill a house with it during a brightly lit day. It also fails completely, in the presence of laser light.

Extra: Sarah actually never wanted to become a villain. She was forced into it by a telepath most sinister and powerful. He had her rob a number of banks, helping her from anonymously. Finally, when once the police were on to her identity he dumped her on the side of the road with only a pittance of the money she'd stolen and a hole in her mind which included his identity. She also has a number of telepathic triggers inside her mind, a sleep command, a forget command, a command that readies her mind for a following suggestion and finally a kill switch.

Why choose me?: Sarah is a defender, capable of putting up barriers between a group of villains and the police. She can also provide a blinding veil for a quick escape from nearly any hero and, through darkness, sneak into nearly any facility. (The locks are, however, another matter) She also knows she's not a great thinker or planner and likes the idea of having a smart and powerful leader to obey.

[Roman]

Is there a plot, or will it be mostly free-form? Are all accepted characters being played as members of this group of villains, or are we permitted to pursue our own goals and even conflict with other players over territory, money, business, etc? Are there any restrictions on the entities we may choose our characters to be and the abilities they may or may not have, or are we free to create a ghost or undead creature alongside the human villains?

Interested, but a sheet submission is certainly pending more information.

[Venom]

Appearance:
While armor is dormant.
Real name:Xyland Lapsa
Codename: Red Abyss
Age: 28

Personality: Cursed by the armor the character has become an instinctual beast. He can maintain himself well enough, but every second hes resisting his urges the more extreme he becomes once he cuts loose again. Abyss started out resisting but the overwhelming power he was granted with, along with the euphoric adrenaline rush was to much for him to possibly want to resist. When he becomes angry, he loses control to the armor..While the armor is control, overkill does not come close to the blood drenched scenes. In the three instances in which it has occurred, they could not find all the pieces to the victims or the buildings...

Ability/power/s:
Cursed armor+ offering resistance to most normal weapons.
Berserk+ As the situation lingers the stronger Abyss gets.
Corrupt blade+ While nothing seems special about it, the blade can not break. A needed weapon to handle the strength of the all consuming Abyss.
Weakness:
His rage is as much a weakness as it is a strength. When the armor is in control in particular he may as well be a grizzly bear, charging and slashing anything that moves.
He is not a tactician, he uses brute strength, and if it doesn't work use more brute strength.
His armor is of a magical variety, it can be sealed by special rituals. Rendering him immobile, in a comatose state.

Extra: The armor itself was actually made from the melted down guillotines and various other methods of capital punishment. The armor is believed to be the corrupted souls of all those wicked monsters that had been executed with its metals. Reforged as a weapon to crush the holy Grail, nothing about this armor is rainbows and sunshine....Strangely enough the armor tends to pick its own lord, becoming loyal even if the lord has no desire to use it. Just ask King Arthur about Lancelot...And his lovely queen knows far to much about its instinctual nature.

Why choose me?: Who doesn't want their own personal Knight? Abyss can be dropped off alone to act as a distraction or keep him around to ensure a successful mission. Complete with more collateral damage than anyone is prepared to deal with. As a being who thrives on crushing anyone underfoot he is also cheap labor, and will not hesitate if his lord told him to kill his own lover..s. His alias tends to be quite the charmer more or less, perhaps the fact that the armor itself has plenty of experience with all forms of sin. Red Abyss awaits your command.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Appearance:
Real name: Veronica Cordellia
Codename: Virus
Age: 17

Personality: A woman of very few words, but knows how to get the job done. Will see whatever tasks she started through to the end. However, she may seem a bit blunt when she does talk. She's loyal, so long as the person/people she's dealing with don't try to backstab her. The moment Veronica finds out that one of her 'friends' is going to backstab her, is when she'll make those people regret even thinking about betraying her. Veronica can hold a grudge for a long time, and will make sure that those who wronged her, paid dearly for messing with her.
She also has a mischievous side to her. She will often use tactics to embarrass her target when she's giving someone a computer virus.

Ability/power/s: Expertise in computers and machines.
-Hacking
-Bugging,
-Manipulate data
-Great intuition and aptitude for machines
-Can invent her own gadgets for whatever she or the group needs

Weakness:
-Socializing with people.
-Physical combat. She's not very strong in it, but she will have a taser on her to help herself in case of emergencies.
-Her actions when it comes to grudges.

Extra: Veronica was once an orphan, sent there after her parents were found and arrested for abusing her. However, she was quickly adopted by a cold hearted politician that had an important role in the government. The politician used her and her talents with computers to spy on his enemies and ruin their plans. Everything seemed to go well now that he had Veronica. But, that changed when he was speaking with his friends one night. Veronica overheard him say that she was just a tool to help him achieve his goals and that he didn't love her like a father at all. So, after that, Veronica left, got her adoptive father arrested, and began her own string of crimes. She was able to steal a large sum of money from many people with her viruses and nobody was safe from them. She was soon caught however, by a brilliant detective, and was sent to prison. Her prison is specially designed with no technology. It looks like a regular dungeon from the medieval times.
She does not have a crush on anyone. Her arch nemesis is a detective named Simon Holmes.

Why choose me?: Society is relying more and more on technology these days. Why use a security guard when you could have a security system that'll sound alarms, lock doors and windows, and call the police once someone activates a trigger? With Virus, she can disable those security systems with a trojan horse virus. There's also a lot of information flying around on the internet. She can gather that information and use it to your advantage. Want to listen on someone's conversation and be one step ahead of your targets or enemies? She can bug them and you can listen in on their conversations. She's also good with machines in general. Need a getaway car right away? She can just get a nearby car working and you can be on your way. Who doesn't want their own little technological genius?

I must do this >u<

Appearance & Outfits

Appearance:
Krystaal armor and electroconductive wear:
Without armor should the occaision ever arise:

Real name: Marian Mirrors

Codename: Krystaal

Age: 25

Personality: When not busy being a sadistic, dominatrix, demure individual who adores watching others suffer, she's a heavy flirt and loves a man in uniform. Especially when she gets to watch the life drain from his eyes. She sees no reason to change her ways, and she does ever so much love to get her hands dirty. Some may prefer to be manipulative to get what they want, she prefers to shed blood rather than whispers. That aside, if ever in the company of someone she doesnt want to hurt, she passes back and forth banter like no other. The last thing she'd do is talk about you behind your back. She's more the... in-your-face-what-the-fuck-did-you-do type.

Ability/power/s: After swallowing electromagnetic crystals that were being tested on by mistake, She gained the ability to conduct, and use electricity. Pieces of the crystals that melted in her digestive system were absorbed into her body for nutrients when the chemicals that formed the crystals were absorbed into her blood stream. Particles of the broken down crystals began to reform as they got stuck in her heart cavities, where they reformed. Thus, her heart has an electromagnetic crystal in it conducted through her bodies bloodstream, allowing her to manipulate it at will. She can turn this ability on or off.

-Electric whip; she makes a whip out of electricity and uses it to torment her foes.

-Stun; can electrocute anyone like a stun gun or tazer can.

-Electric Slide; any metal surface she touches can be a conductor of electricity. This includes water.

-Energy blasts; pulses of energy shockwave, ranging from being like a bullet to having the intensity of a comet, never are the blasts bigger than her own body.

--Lightning strikes; strikes of lightning coming from her hand to strike an opponent

-Can fight using assorted weaponry that can also be conducted upon.

Weakness:
-Can only hit one thing at a time

-The crystals get tired after a while, meaning she needs to recharge somehow by zapping herself. This can range from holding an electric fence to being put in the electric chair.

-Can't hit anything below ground

-The lightning strikes can be deflected by mirrors

Extra: Before swallowing the crystals by mistake, Marian was a natural biology student at the University of Quivvand. During a playful experient in the class when they were supposed to be learning to make crystal rock candy, Marian mistook her professors lab experiment for the rock candy. That night she broke into a cold sweat, feeling absolutely ill. It wasn't until that morning that she became restless, always in a hurry, things not going fast enough for her.... the symptoms built up, one after another until finally she went berserk. There was too much energy and she temporarily went insane. She continued like this until she was caught by the man who is now her arch nemesis, Taalunian. As time went by in prison, she learned to control herself.. but still retains that bloodlust she had developed before. She has a crush on Red Abyss, having seen him around the prison (If he is chosen and I hope me and him are) and is not afraid to speak her mind.

Why choose me?: “Why, my sweet Susannah… Why would you not want me? Ahaha… you see my dear… you possess… a fine ability, no? Mm, that manipulative ability you hold is… indeed… unfathomable. But I ask you, miss… when you are tied down, backed into a corner, who will have your back then? If all of our hands are bound, who has a long range ability without needing a weapon? Oh but of course you needn’t answer that question dear. You already know. Yes, Krystaal! Krystaal is the answer… to freeing your hands from the dirty work… And burning… everyone in your path.”

[Cryptiic]

Never mind.

[Absolute Grace]

CS' are looking awesome guys. I am very excited for this rp XD

Yes, there is a plot. However, it only revolves around the jailbreak, from then, I guess everyone can come up with ideas and we can see which one is most liked. So a tiny bit semi-free-form.
All accepted characters will be played as members of the villainous group, but NPC's are welcome. If the NPC plays a key role, plot wise, then just pm me about it before posting in the IC. Pursuing own goals is fine, but in other rps I have seen that have like three sub plots with people in separated groups, the rp usually dies. So I want everyone to stay together as much as possible which will be possible by a singular plot focus. By that I mean, all chosen villains from this thread are going to form a team and will be sent out on villainous assignments.
Restrictions on any fantasy//supernatural entities such as vamps, trolls, elf, fairy, werewolf, but you can base abilities off them e.g. a human with the power to take on the characteristics of a wolf, both mental and physical. e.g. No outright ghosts, but an ability to walk through solid objects is fine. I will allow alien type entities like symbiotes.
I hope that helped :)

Cryptiic said
Never mind.

Sorry Cryptic, that I couldn't be of assistance if that is what you needed. I just got back from work and uni.

[Daxam]

Why haven't I heard of this beforehand? :T

Appearance:

Ethan

Real name: Ethan Taylor

Codename: Dionysus

Age: 19

Personality: Ethan, for lack of a better word, is insane. He does what he wants, when he wants, however he chooses. If someone can somehow convince him to kill a certain person, he'll do so...as well as anyone else he can kill within a mile radius with wild abandon, even if it's the person who gave him the job. Every moment of every day, his mind is filled with thoughts of violence and debauchery, things he would call the 'little things in life.' Even though it may not seem like it, however, he's still capable of other emotions, such as happiness, anger, and even love.

Ability/power/s: Terrakinesis: The ability to manipulate earth and stone to one's will

Earthen Craft - The ability to create a wide assortment of objects out of stone, such as weapons

Earth Dive - Ethan can slip underground, allowing him to travel unhindered and reemerge from almost anywhere

Shrapnel - Creates dozens of small, stone shards that then hurtle towards the target, slicing them to ribbons

Weakness:

-His insanity often leads him to taking on as many of the toughest-looking people as he can, by himself, while using his offensive prowess as his defense

-Ethan cares nothing for stealth. His idea of infiltrating an enemy area is rushing the front gates and making his way through while killing as many people as possible, no matter how many there are or how well-equipped

-He tends to toy with his enemies, like a cat with a ball of string. His favorite method is to rough them up a little, then let them go while striking at random times, letting exhaustion get the better of them. This can backfire if his target has a way of calling for backup, or if they manage to lead him into a trap.

Extra: (Background? Arch nemesis? Crush? Weapons? Gadgets? Anything else you want to add?)

Why choose me?: "Because you'd be stupid not to. If you decide to leave me to rot in this shithole, I'll break out on my own, hunt you down, and show you just how useless this straitjacket here is by skinning you alive with the dullest, rustiest knife I can find. Then, I'll stick hooks into the bottoms of your feet, hang you from the ceiling and throw salt on you. Afterwards, while you're drawing your last pitiful breaths, I'll turn on some polka music and dance to it with the desiccated corpse of your childhood friend and their dog. But, I won't let you die. I'll find a way to keep you alive so you can go through even worse torments every single day for the rest of your short, miserable life. So, what's it gonna be, friend?"

[Absolute Grace]

Dax: I recently came up with the idea. Sorry that I didn't tell you about it. Forgive me?

At this rate, everyone is going to be accepted X3

[Daxam]

...*Hugs* Fine, I'll forgive you...this one time X3

[Absolute Grace]

*hugs back*

[Assallya]

Some of you might want to put some thought into how you are being incarcerated.

Grace, does the penal service have any sort of power dampeners?

[Absolute Grace]

I was going to suggest the same thing X3

The penal service is practically a hero organisation, but still has connections to the government. So I guess there could be a power dampener type of technology. But pretty much the cells will be specially made to contain each prisoner, so I leave it up to everyone to decide what kind of cell your character is going to be contained within XD

[Daxam]

I'm already thinking about that :3

[Absolute Grace]

Good boy X3

I is going to sleepy sleep now, but keep them Character sheets ah' coming XD

[Usurper King]

Are you still looking for members?

And if so, are anti-villains allowed?

[ReaptheMusic]

Careful Venom, Krystaal's got her eye on Red Abyss... If he or she actually make it together. Hope they do, your characters concept is very cool ^^
Also I freaking love Venom from the Spiderman Comics. sad they... reduced him to a scrawny mess in the movies. *sighs*
