@Duthguy Roach Boy is accepted! Reminds me of a cross between Spider-man and Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes.
@NightmareInd Skillshot is also accepted! I really dig the mask and ability.
@The Bork Lazer I'm gonna be veeeery picky when it comes to any non-powered heroes in this. It's not that I don't dig the character, but the language and nature of the character seem more fitting for something like Deadpool's X-Force. There anything else you're toying with, idea wise?
@Shard@Bea Y'all worked anything up yet for the twin characters?
We have ideas. I'm currently away doing some military stuff for a couple more weeks so I'm not able to work on anything in depth until I get back home.
@Duthguy Roach Boy is accepted! Reminds me of a cross between Spider-man and Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes.
The Spider-man part was intentional, as for Blue Beetle my knowledge from him comes from Linkara and was completely accidental. In fact now that I think about him furthering his mutation is probably based on the Man-Spider arc from the 90's Spider-man cartoon, my introduction to Peter Parker
Heya! Me is very interested in this rp. Here is my Nightwing/Harley Quinn/Ty Lee from ATLA-inspired character. Hope ya like her! ^u^
Secret Identity: Natalia Mina Appearance:
Codename: Venus Hero Outfit:
Age: 18
Power: Love Gaze - Natalia has the power to make anyone fall in love with her so deeply that they are compelled to follow her every command. The effect of her power wears off on a target if Nat herself dispels the effect or the time limit of her power runs up. Her target can be affected by looking at her eyes either directly or through reflections. When using her power, her eyes glow bright pink.
Skills: Acrobatics - Natalia can perform walks on tightropes and do head-stances on just her fingers with grace and balance, and cartwheels and mid-air somersaults with great ease. She's very light on her feet, allowing her to easily evade hits by outmaneuvering her enemies and being able to jump high and afar even when stationary. She's also limber as she's able to bend, twist, and contort her body in positions no ordinary human can do. Additionally, her skills as an acrobat greatly improved her agility, giving her impressive parkour and free-running skills, allowing her to scale almost any surface or terrain quickly and squeeze through most barriers and small spaces with ease.
Weaknesses:
Nat's power may not work on those who already deeply love someone.
It will not work on people who do not feel affection of any kind.
It will not work on robots or androids.
Those who have a strong mental capacity or mental-based powers may block out Nat's powers from affecting them.
The effect of her power on a target will greatly weaken if Nat commands them to do something they physically can't do.
Her commands may be useless on someone who's too dumb to even understand what she's saying.
Her target must understand the language she's using to command them, although they can still be smitten by her.
Nat is still human, so she can be killed and injured just like any other human.
She couldn't do much in a very tight space.
While she's very fast, Nat will find it difficult when she's facing a physically stronger and heavier opponent.
Q: How did Arrowcaster find you? A: He saw her defeat a trio of rude men on her own to save a civillian.
BRIEF Bio: Back in her country, Natalia was once part of a circus act known as The Aria Mina which composed of her and her parents. Her parents were quite famous back then, and she was also widely regarded as a show-stopper because nobody has seen a very skilled acrobat at such a young age. Her power also manifested during her time as a circus performer. Their leader found out about it and used her power to compel more people in watching the circus, making him earn more money than ever. Nat's parents found out their leader was using her for his greed so they decided turn their backs on the circus life and use their hard-earned money to fly to America to protect Natalia and start a new life. The Mina family were content with their simple and quaint life, but they didn't tell Nat to not use her powers again. Despite being normal humans, they encouraged and helped her master her power as best as they could so she can use it for good and to protect herself. They also used their acrobatic skills to use, with her parents going on to become professional acrobatics teachers while Natalia joined the cheerleading squad of her school.
Q: How will your character be different one year later? A: Hopefully Natalia would become stronger to the point that she can command anyone using her voice as well. She'll be a widely regarded hero in her own might, serving as an example that not all heroes have to be tough and brooding all the time to be taken seriously.
Sample Post:
It was a bit late at night and Natalia was walking from the bus stop on her way home. She could really use some snack to eat, but her train of thought was interrupted by a scream. She found out that it came from a lady being surrounded by three men. She hid behind a tree on the sidewalk and she saw how the men laughed and looked at the poor lady menacingly, surrounding her like a pack of wolves while the poor lady begged them to stop and go away. Based on what she could hear from her hiding spot, these men wanted to steal her purse but decided they wanted to 'do something fun.'
Natalia was disgusted. She looked around if anyone could help the lady. Unfortunately, it was already a bit late at night and almost no one would walk by this part of town if they're not working late. She turned back at the situation with the man reaching out as if to grab the lady's shoulder. It's now or never; Nat dropped her bags first and then approached them, wearing a cheerful grin as she skipped to them.
One of the men nudged at the other two and all of them looked at her with wolfish grins. "Hey there, sweetie. Wanna join us?". The men laughed almost like hyenas with the poor lady cowering and closing her eyes in fear.
Natalia giggled. "Why, of course I would love to join you fellas! But there's something I want to ask you guys first..."
"And what's that, baby?", one of them asked. Two of them went beside Natalia while the other stayed with the lady. She made sure they all looked at her before blinking long. When she opened her eyes, they glowed bright pink. "Do you love me?~".
The men's eyes briefly glowed pink, signifying that her power took effect on them. Their expressions changed and they smiled dreamily as they looked at her adoringly. "Yes, we do. We love you more than anything in the world", they said in unison.
"Awww, thank you! You guys do seem awfully tired though. If you guys really love me, I want all of you to close your eyes and go... to... sleep~". Immediately, they all dropped to the ground, snoring.
Nat turned to the lady with her eyes no longer glowing, tapping her shoulder as she opened her eyes. "No need to worry, ma'am. You're safe now!". The lady looked around her in shock before looking back at Natalia. In response, the lady hugged her, calling her a hero and even giving her a few dollars as thanks. Nat tried to refuse and say she wasn't a hero but the lady already ran off from fear but not before thankfully waving back at the young girl who saved her. Nat waved back at her and looked at the sleeping men.
With a spring on her step, Natalia turned around and skipped back to the tree where she dropped her stuff. However, she was surprised to see a man standing there holding a bow and arrow. It took a second for Nat, but her eyes grew wide in shock and she gasped. "O.M.G. Robin Hood?! I thought you aren't real!", Nat said. Arrowcaster slapped his forehead and sighed.
Powers – Limited use of 'magic', though a more accurate term might be energy manipulation. He has a core inside his body that draws in ambient energy and converts it into the type he can use. Has a slight regeneration power though it feeds off of his energy core. A black belt in karate, as well as a student in several other schools of martial arts. Has combined his knowlege of karate, muai tai, and energy manipulation to form his own fighting style called Bakuken, which condenses the energy into coils around his legs and arms to increase the power of his punches and kicks. The coils create explosions when flexed, allowing him to potentially manoeuvre in mid air. Is currently studying history at university.
Weaknesses – Bakuken is an unfinished style, and the explosions injure Felix each time they are used. Requires periodic release of his energy else his body won't sleep.
Personality – Witty, Secretive, Playful, Chaotic Experience – 17 Days Day Job – Student
How did Arrowcaster find you? He found Felix testing out his Bakuken.
BRIEF Bio – Felix had been absorbing energy from a young age. Back then he was a much bigger handful as he lacked the self control learned from martial arts. His parents started him on karate at the age of six, sending him to a local dojo in the hopes of taming the overenergised kid. With an outlet for his vast energy, Felix flourished in the art, earning a black belt by the age of twelve. He also decided to research different styles of martial arts to make his own style. The first time he manifested his energy was at fifteen. A thug tried to mug him and pulled out a gun. Before the guy could shoot him, a burst of energy came from Felix, brutally burning the guy. It was horrific and enlightening for Felix, as it was another part of himself to master. So began his foray into creating the Bakuken, or Exploding Fist, style.
How will your character be different one year later? An increased mastery of the Bakuken means he would be able to control his explosions so they don't harm him, which would lead to him being able to fight in three dimensions.
Sample Post – Breathe in. Breathe out. Focus the energy, feel it coil around your arms. Tighter, tighter still, keep going until you feel the energy become unstable. That's it, almost there. Good, now PUNCH!
The resulting explosion blew Felix off his feet, but that was secondary compared to the pain now shooting up from his arm. His hand was covered with burns and... yup, those were broken fingers. Pulling the fingers back into their correct positions, he wrapped up his hand in the bandages he had brought with him for this exact eventuality, wincing all the while. Once he had finished he looked over the warehouse he was using for practice. Hey, was that a support beam he hit... crap.
Grabbing the meagre possessions he brought with him, he ran as the creaking of a near toppling building rose until...
Snap.
The warehouse caved in on itself, nearly burying Felix along with it. Note to self, less coils in the future. Just as he thought things couldn't get any worse, Arrowcaster showed up. "Uh... I can explain?" the youth said.
Fortunately, the hero wasn't going to arrest the youth, instead offering him a spot on their team. He accepted, mostly because he figured they had a decent med bay for any hiccups he had while refining his style.
If you guys have any interest in non marvel/dc superhero comics PS238 and Magellan are pretty good and take the same basic premise, non powered kid at school for superheros, in different directions. Also yeah a discord would be nice.
@Omega Man Oh I completely forgot but PS238 has a minor character called the emerald gauntlet who uses a gauntlet like a green lantern ring, I know it's just a coincidence but that reminded of your character in this rp
