Finally got around to writing up my S2 sheet. Let me know what you think; have added a few more potential characters too.



Forgot to say that I'll be finishing this up in a few days once the crisis is over and I get my epilogue post up

Sounds good! But you don't need approval for updated sheets or anything in case you were waiting on it.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:


"One last time, I need to fly"

I want to connect to all the myths that Angel has attached to him, namely the existence of an angel from the testaments of documented experiences. I will be doing some research about that. Then, he is a mutant who has saved people that aim to hurt him. That’s quite a selflessness act considering he reaches across the globe chasing money and women. So, I want to explore his psyche as much as I do his stature.

Angel was created to be in the X-Men, and he was a hit early on. Since he was a founding X-Men member, he’s traveled the seven seas. He’s been involved in many different stories penned and illustrated by good names. He can stomp a mud hole in somebody, and I plan to have him kick ass. But I want my character to party with Iron Man and Bruce Wayne. I believe he is like them. Saving the world, partying, acting on reformations for the better of everyone.

He has mixed with huge characters like Apocalypse, and small creations alike. He doesn’t pull any punches because of the trauma he’s endured, meaning going through his wings being ripped off, brainwashed, and trying to help only to being ostracized. He has been subject to psychological exams about thought to-be narcissism or other likely personality disorders.

Collaboratively, he has a long history with the X-Men.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:

I started reading Marvel comic book magazines when a friend introduced me to them a long time ago. There were a few that impressed me, but the benefactor of my money was X-Men titles and Hulk, and the F4. When I saw Angel, I thought he looked daunting in a huge white suit, in sunglasses and standing up very tall.

Basically, I want to explore the dark side that every man and mutant has inside from a seasoned mutant millionaire’s perspective. I don’t want to always help, and I want him to get into fights, but at the same time, I must honor how peaceful and helping he is.

I’m not going to force a bad guy routine, which of course “bad” is a three-letter word with a three mile long spectrum, I want to discover the in-and-outs of a forty year old mainstay of an apparently never-ending story. And, I want to do this with a winged, kind, wicked mutant millionaire.

C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:

Any additional notes you want to put either for yourself, the GM's or other players to help clarify your vision or continuity.


S A M P L E P O S T:

[INDENT][INDENT][i]“I’ve taken my independence and revved it to level 5. I have witnessed so much and hurt so bad that I am ready to kill. Pushed to the act of murder? It could be.”

Warren’s exceptional prayer to the god was unusually short. He got off from his knees and rotated both his shoulders because they were some tight. He cracked his neck, too. He took a gander at his penthouse. The lamp had too many loose half-inch big ripped pieces of red colored fabric bottom trim. When he moved his eyes around he naturally tuned in and was alert to his environment, like the melted ice that had turned into a small splotch of water at the foot end base of the bed, it having decomposed from Warren getting drunk and tipping over some ice from the bucket . He did not suffer from hangover.

The safety horn cried out inside of the fireman’s station. Those who were on duty and assigned, that is by the NYFD, hurriedly thought and acted and were on their way out the door. They turned up the siren, and sped towards a head-on collision not only dispatched as on fire, but also there was someone reported trapped. They flew![/color]

BUZZ!! There was an intercom properly installed throughout the house, and it was for communication between the Angel and approved buzzers. “Hello?”
“I hope you are doing good this morning, Mr. Worthington. Today, it is 80 degrees outside, which is warm enough. . . “
“Sure, but what about that collision?”
“It was reported fifteen minutes ago on 8th and Academy. I hope they help those people, it really sends chills up my back to think of some one being deceased because of a text, or a call.”
“Yep. OK, I will speak to you later, Raymond.”
“Very well. Thank you.”

WORTHINGTON HQ:

There are people every where. They're all dressed well and they all smell good and smile, perhaps some flirting or undressing someone with their eyes, pointing at the chubby numbers analyst staring hard through his glasses at the busty, black-haired young emo girl yapping on her smartphone. She definitely couldn't be a sacrifice. Jerry had seen her on an amatuer Internet show.

Elsewhere, there was an executive going back and forth with a sports medicine specialist from the Food and Drug company. It was a multi-faceted, intelligent conversation, but the specially ranked doctor was going to have to pursue accelerated information from a WLabs scientist.Then, there were shots fired! The scramble to run, hide, and not spill your espresso was not completely unlike a John Travolta movie, except people were getting hit by AK-47 bullets,and it was a killing onslaught so god awful that whoever was doing it was going to answer for it with his life. If he didn't off himself with his fascinating, stable victims.
Shattered glass was everywhere. Some people were wounded, and others may have been dead. Of course, many people called the authorities.

WARREN'S PENTHOUSE/TRANSIT:

Warren was through eating breakfast. it included a candy apple. Now, he was preparing to leave the nest and see what was going on in the world, soundly commerce, chemical engineering, and upscale mutant prostiute houses. He had on his designer dark wash denim jeans when his main cell phone paused him.

The call was urgent. It was about the shooting that took place an hour ago, and Warren had to double up and get fully dressed, then he logged on his computer for a few minutes to search the basics about the office shooter. He got it all, schizoid personality with depression. Finally, he raced to the elevator and jetted down to his Escalade. He started the car, and pulled out from a private parking spot that had a sign stating that the parking space was legallly reserveed for Warren Worthington III.

The news companies were at the scene. They were busier than ever. Their question they asked were about robbery, terrorism, anti-animal testing, and the works. One in particular documented two interviews with Warren, and she thought that this time she would get in big time when she saw the Cadillac truck driving into the debacle. Every one launched into a frenzy when he stopped and parked beside a fire hydrant, and opened the door and hit the deck. Out of all the questions and commends, Warren had a definitive comment: "I know someone come in and starting shooting my employees. That is all." He knew everything about the assailant from reviewing his records at his work computer at the penthouse.

He caught a break when city police pushed the reporters back. He thanked them, and they allowed to step into the building, but the presence of cops and more cops, and with the US Marshals on the way, Warren was was disconcerted. They did tell him that the man he knew as Jack Mannessy was actually a nine year old fugitive from Delaware prison. He underwent a trial, and was convicted of armed robbery, and acts of terrorism. Warren asked some questions to the police captain. How many were wounded, or shot, or traumatized. Were there any cracks in any of the network security infrastructure? Was there a thief motive? The captain didn't know, but this would amount to more capital crimes and probably death row. It would be, but Mr. Jack Mannessy was no longer alive.

Some days went by. It was a law suit, one after another Warren didn't mind. He only had a billion dollars, and a billion more.The US Marshals had explained everyrthing, all the way down to the type of bullet used in the shooting. He asked if there was anything that the federal government could help out with, lawyers or extra security. They provided information to civilian protection agencies, a bunch of ex-soldiers and SEALs. He was even offered a gun permit and a specially trained canine assistant who would go for the neck. Warren passed. It was an act of disgruntled, domestic work office terrorism. He would be okay.

COURT: "The proceedings today qualify that the involved claimants maintain soverignity over the assets that hereby will be dignified unless otherwise judged. The trial before the court must be thorough, documented propery, constitutional, and just. There will be no conditions that I am not made appointed to, because my court will be violated, and I will not be violated. Objections must be consistent with what is going on accordingly with the trial. Now, for the defense. You have offered every one of your opponent each $2,000,000?"

Well, Warren didn't know too many suburban families that couldn't use a couple million dollars, so he put the offer on the table. Out of the three organized thief clans, all of them took the deal. While the proceedings were handled, he had two cups of coffee. He had a taste for some liquor. He surveryed everything, including himself. He smiled because he was giving away six million dollars, and he wanted to get drunk. He recalled news that it was being legislatively argued, it was about whether people could sue company head figures due to the state of the country, business law, and terrorism.

His attorney that worked for Worthingon Labs earned a $100;000 bonus on top of his usual $250,000. Three days after a brief vacation to Washington, D.C., Abraham Washington pulled into the parking area in a new 2019 Mercedes Benz. And, a Switzerland crafted timepiece.

Warren had been running here and running there. He gave in to the reporters and conducted several interviews. They would not get pushy with him after they understood how beligerent he coould act. But, his favorite thing to do was go to the beach and go crazy with his jet skis and floats, with his friends and associates. He picked everybody up. There was ten of them, and they were drinking. It was going to be awesome. So, they arrived in the concrete loading dock and unhooked three jet skis and Warren flirted with one of his friends. He made her laugh and move sexy, but it was only flirting.

It was one hour in. They slowed down drinking. Warren was sitting around with everybody. Suddenly, he had to use the restroom He walked away unnoticed. He walked away, and he had the urge: the urge to sail away. He had hid his wings with a huge life vest and a tailor made long sleeve shirt that he was wearing underneath the vest. He stripped it off.

He looked around, the coast was clear. So, he walked forward bearing a strong pace. His vision sharpended, reducing water production in his eyes, widening his eyes. He felt the surge, the energy, his shoulders being tugged on, his bare feet levitating from the ground, his back relaxinf, his abs tightening. He flew.

He was in the sky. He felt so good. He swinged his wings to and fro, and as he landed on his sky high path his wings sedated and he went into gliding. He loved the cruise. He could see people all over the beach. Suddenly, he twisted and spiraled up and down, feeling ferocious and good and having fun. He noticed a vendor, he believed it was hot dogs and chips. He had seen a kid not too old, so Warren dipped by the vendor and got a hot dog with mustard and ketchup, and flew it back to the boy. The kid's mom asked him if she had seen Warren before, but he said no and went on. He had a good time, but he returned to the spot where he had stripped and put back on his beach gear.

With his friends, he was a badass type of nice person, but to himself he was the Angel.[/i][/indent][/indent]

@role model Your character concept doesn't tell me anything about how Warren is in this world. You state goals and desires but there's nothing there to explain to me how he came to be within the setting of the RP.

For instance, in this game, the X-Men have only existed for about a year and certainly have never fought Apocalypse. Bruce Wayne is almost eighty, he's not exactly able to party with Tony Stark. You're going to want to read the relevant character sheets and IC posts to refine your concept to fit within this world.

As it currently stands, I can't accept the sheet.

Perfect-o. I have some place to go to for a few hours, but I'll get my profile set up properly. I suppose I say by Wednesday evening.

Off the top of my head, Warren runs a commercial entity that engineers chemicals that can make one stronger or, they can help grow your IQ to genius levels. Warren has a "weapon" he uses to go back and forth in small binges of time. He would suffer side effects, which goes with me characterizing the hate and anger inside of him.

That'd the first thing I thought of.

I have a lot of questions regarding this sheet, to be honest. But firstly, in the spirit of honesty, I don't think this sheet will add anything to the game and in fact, I think it takes away more than it contributes. A lot of Inkarnate's original concept which now lives on through @Iceheart is built on the idea that Kara was the first Kryptonian hero and while I realize that Zod didn't reveal his abilities (we'll get to that in a bit), it kind of undercuts the entire premise of Supergirl by having another Kryptonian.

Furthermore, if accepted, Red Zod would be the third Kryptonian character. I really don't think we need three Kryptonians in an RP where there are a lot more options available. I know you've been gunning for a Kryptonian character for a while now, but I don't think this is going to be your opportunity to play out that desire. As much as I've tried to make Absolute open for new and different concepts, as the IC has come together there's been a certain status quo created and I don't think this idea meshes with the world presented by the IC.

A seasoned commander who, true to his original backstory, tried to start an uprising that ultimately failed and saw him banished from Krypton. Disillusioned from this defeat he lands on Earth and aids the USSR in their rise but does not reveal himself as a superpowered weapon.

The above quote, in my opinion, contains two conflicting statements. If this Zod is true to his original backstory when he was banished from Krypton, how did he not end up in the Phantom Zone? Furthermore, why would he hide his true nature? It would not be in Zod's character to hide his true power nor would he aid in such a small conflict, let alone lose when he himself likely could have conquered the world.

Furthermore, communism doesn't seem like something General Zod would warm towards. I'm pretty sure he's more of the mind of fascism. Either way, I feel as though by simply saying this is the canon General Zod except this happened instead doesn't entirely work and raises more questions than it provides answers.

I like the idea of other nations trying to compete in a superhuman arms race with the United States, but I don't think this sheet contributes to that notion nor adds anything substantial to the game right now. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to pass on Red Zod.

Yeah I can understand. To answer the question quoted above I was pulling from Kryptons history and implying that he didnt get sent to the Phantom Zone but was instead jettisoned into space with the thing on his head to reform him (the pratice used just before the Phantom Zone). The idea was that he got knocked around in space before landing in Russia around that time. As the character progressed I was going to make the draw between the General wanting to install fascism towards the end of the War but was convinced otherwise. When he became the Red Son then he would try again but instead grow to be a good guy.

But for the rest of the critiques I can understand the hesitation. I tried to make it enough of a distance between @IceHearts Supergirl as to give her the right to be the first "Super" while still playing the story I intended. Would there be any chance to fix it? If not I understand. I will come up with another idea if there is no fixing Red Zod.

If you want this style of character, I think an anti-hero focused Black Adam would be a better bet for you. The character already suits a lot of your goals and desires without involving another Kryptonian.

@Retired I may do that. I actually discovered Red Star which I have thought about which I could keep my Russian vibe but the Black Adam angle is interesting to think about.

If your dead set on Russian, Red Star is definitely the better choice.

Its not so much I'm dead set on a Russian hero but it comes down to a couple of points:

1) I have all my research for Russia and Russia type plots (which I can just as easily change)

2) I personally have never heard of an anti-hero Black Adam even in these types of games and as such can only see him (personally) as a villain.

I can be either its just gonna take some time for me to wrap my head around Adam and how to work him

Black Adam has had long stretches of history as an anti-hero in comics. Just as Dr. Doom has. They're both rulers who care for and want what is best for their country, but their methods are done with an iron fist and oftentimes ruthless and against the interest of heroes.

Key Difference is that Black Adam gets beat up by a 10 year old and Doctor Doom's the greatest being in the universe.

Just don't say the R-word near him.
