[OOC] -Superhero RP- Act 1: The Rise of Omega.

[Spencer]

Greetings wizards and wit, oh wait. No, that's the wrong one... ehm....

Greetings, Superheroes and villians!
This is the OOC for my newest Superhero RP: The Rise of Omega, a quick story-thingy before we start.

And a quick note, it's late in the evening while writing this and I'm tired. Forgive me if I made some mistakes!

---

The year is 2095, the world as we know it today has changed. In 2017, when the world was in a second cold war between America, combined with Europe and Russia, the prices of everything skyrocketed and led to an all round chaos on all markets. At the end of 2017, multiple countries started attacking other countries, which didn't help the situation. Only problem was, nobody knew what to do, while the chaos expanded and slowly reached other countries, which in the beginning held stand pretty well, such as China, Japan and Saudi Arabia.
In 2020, the UN decided that the economic and political struggles of the past were the down fall of the world as we then knew it. The UN, determined to make it stop, gathered all leaders and started a new constitution. This constitution was called Constitution Alpha and held a wide variety of changes in. The most important two were that, because this was a new clean sheet, a new beginning (hence the name Alpha), every nation had the duty to rebuild their capital or build a new one. The other change was that all countries had to use the same currency; The Çoin.

Japan, which was hit by multiple smaller nuclear bombs around Tokyo, decided to build a new Tokyo, called New Tokyo. (Yeah, logic, I know.) New Tokyo was built upon the ruins of an old village town. Half of New Tokyo wass build on water, the other half build on land. The city was one of the first of the 'New Wave' to be finished and, because of that, drew a lot of people in and grew out to be the biggest city of the world.

But, the crime rates have never been higher, since 2089, the crime rates went up higher than ever before and still are. So that's why, in 2093, Tokyo announced that everyone with abnormal powers, magic powers, supernatural powers, transforming powers, and so on are allowed to use them IF it's in name of the law. Anyone who doesn't abide this rule is kill on sight for the police.

[Chulance]

Definently interested, Villain coming up.

I had asked in the interest check about playing the role of Omega.

Chulance said
I had asked in the interest check about playing the role of Omega.

...Didn't I already point out why that's not a good idea? And I think we decided that Omega was a group and not an individual anyways if I remember right...

Anyways, still interested, just need to figure out what I'm using. XD Possibly something based on Kamen Rider but we'll see.

[Chulance]

I just skimmed the interest check to see what the GM said didn't notice you said that sorry lol. But in that case I'll just work on another villain then.

[Nobodyman123]

I might be interested.

Real Name: James Walton

Aliases: Erebus

Good or evil?: Neutral though official sources usually have him classified as villain. Erebus found his abilities gave him an advantage when it came to getting him and his allies in and out of secure locations quickly and has had no compunctions about plying his talents in a number of criminal enterprises. However there are a number of documented instances of him stepping in to stop assaults, rapes, and other violent crimes in his areas of operation.

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance Normal: James is a Caucasian man with unusually pale skin, he stand 6 feet tall 170 pounds, he is in good physical condition though not overly muscular preferring to maintain a slimmer build. Thick permanently mussed dark brown hair falls to just below the top of his ears with a similarly colored close trimmed bear and mustache one shade lighter than his. Fond of luxury and often with money to spare from his various criminal enterprises James' standard wear when not on an operation is thick sunglasses, designer jeans, and a silk dress shirt with a vest or blazer, more often than not finished off with an expensive watch.

Appearance Superhero/villain: When on operation his standard wear is a black padded leather jacket and gloves, reinforced motorcycle riding pants and a helmet with an extra strength visor and built in voice distorter

Rivals or Friends:

Powers: When in direct contact with a shadow Erebus can teleport himself and any other objects or people he is in direct contact with to any other shadow he can sense in a 25 yard radius or physically see. Erebus can also raise constructs from any shadows with 3 yards of him. A base construct will be around the same size as the the source shadow though with a variable shape and a density slightly less than water. Constructs can be condensed to solid or expanded to a thick fog like substance though doing either for an extended period of time and/or trying to control multiple constructs at once will quickly tire Erebus out. All constructs will disappear if Erebus teleports while controlling them. Finally Erebus has excellent dark vision, though normal level daylight now gives him migraines if he doesn't wear sunglasses.If the source shadow of his constructs are removed they're immediately dissipated, and though difficult do his speed if the source shadow of a teleport is removed before has a chance to emerge Erebus is returned to the source location in immense pain

Weapons/equipments/items: Erebus operates equipped with a KA-BAR combat knife, a M&P 9mm pistol and an extra magazine, 31" extending baton and a garrote

Strength: Remaining in the dark for extended periods of times leaves Erebus feeling more alert and powerful, his powers coming a little easier, teleports faster, constructs a little bit easier to form and control and so on

Weaknesses: Erebus' powers will not function without shadows in the area, with decreasing effectiveness when said shadows are not efficiently heavy. Direct exposure to strong light will make Erebus lethargic and tired, with increasing symptoms and longer recovery time the more he is exposed.

Backstory/Personality: The son of a poor British working class family James quickly developed a hunger for more than he knew he could reasonably expect from his meager origins. At age thirteen James discovered his abilities and after a few accidental public displays eroded what few connections he had James decided it was time to finally leave and seek his fortune. Traveling across the world James fell in more and more with a criminal element, developing a name and reputation for himself as a grade A transporter. Now with Erebus persona fully established he has settling in New Tokyo where he has found a steady stream of work and enough hero types to keep things interesting.

(So I wasn't sure what scale of powers we were going with here so if I need to tune anything down just let me know, also if any other villain types are looking for some pre-existing associates let me know)

[Owlriel]

Real Name: Henja T'Vorta
Aliases: Void
Good or evil?: Chaotic good
Age: 23.
Gender: Male
Race: Kelranian

Appearance Normal: Henja is 6'5" royal blue haired muscularly built man with unnaturally pale skin, and grey eyes.

Appearance Superhero:

Art by Damienphoenix

Rivals or Friends:
Friends: orphaned street urchin Shiki, and Surgeon
Rivals: None

Powers:
~ He can regenerate from most wounds given enough time, if a limb is completely destroyed he has to regrow it which takes considerable time and energy. If it's just severed he can reattach it, and it heals quicker then normal.

~ Portal Generation/Scrying: Void can open private "windows" in space which allow him to see into unprotected areas, assuming he knows exactly where he should be looking. Once he has familiarized himself with an area, he can open a portal there which he may physically enter to transport himself. His windows are invisible to anyone but himself, or those who have entered his mind. The portals are visible on his side, but invisible on the other end, this allows him to enter locations stealthily. Though that is only within a range of a 2 mile radius, and takes him 30 seconds to open a portal.

~ Minor shape Shifting: Through the use of his nanites, Void can change his hair, skin color, and eye color. He can use a simple image he could copy a person's appearance, but works better if he's actually seen them in person.

Weapons/equipments/items:

~Multiuse nanites that can regenerate not only himself, but others that he counts as a friend. Though this takes hours, and a lot of stored energy inside him. Causing him to eat a lot to make up for the loss in energy. The other use is for repairing his armor, along with small cosmetic changes like skin, eye, and hair color.

~his light Alien-tech armor which is seen in the image. Allows Void to lift a maximum of 400 pounds with great exertion, and 300 pounds with ease. And is resistant to smaller caliber rounds, and smaller blades. Without his armor he can only lift 100 pounds. All of which comes out of the spine part of his armor, and is spread out using the nanites. Though thanks to the nanites appearance modulator it remains hidden.

Strength: He is a highly trained soldier, from a planet with high grade technology. Which enables him to pick up almost any weapon, and be able to use it with great ease.

Weaknesses:

~ since almost all of his a powers come from tech, an incredibly powerful EMP directly to the chest can easily kill him.

~ Because his nanites are behind his regeneration ability, and managing his brain synapses. He becomes utterly under the thumb of the one that manages to hack his nanites. However, this takes a technological mastermind.

~If his head is blown off he'll have severe brain damage, and memory loss to amnesia. Which makes him highly susceptible to changing sides, by someone interfering that has evil intentions.

~ Opening portals uses a lot of energy, and can't be used excessively. Otherwise he ends up in a place he didn't intend to show up at, and passes out.

~ Void cannot perfectly mimic a persons retinas, exact height, and DNA.


Backstory/Personality:

Henja T'Vorta is the last surviving Kelranin. His home had been the serene planet, Greloria. A world he does not remember as he crash landed on earth, his craft and his body had been destroyed. His mind after regenerating containing no memories of where he came from, but due to his muscle memory he was able to discern that he was a warrior. Due to all of this he has developed to be quite lonely, though has kept a stiff upper lip through it all. As even though he's alone he finds humans to be amusing enough to take his mind off of his own troubles. He even draws great enjoyment from humorous antics, and shenanigans that often get him into trouble. His suit is what brings out his comedic side, as it is his physical representation of self confidence. Without it he's quite, and reclusive along with very soft spoken. Though there are times when Void is dead serious, which is incredibly rare.
"Like seeing a six legged Unicorn that shoots rainbows out it's butt," Void would say.

More info on Kelranian's:

Biology:

"Subject is a human like creature with unnaturally low skin pigmentation, grey arish eyes and strange blue hair. The creatine in his hair shows signs of a copper conjugation and probably causes this strange color, even pudic hair was colored this way and so leads to the conclusion of natural heritage.
His face was rather handsome and human like with a strong jaw line. But, that was something that I do not care about. A quick look under the subjects thin layer of skin... Shows muscles, and organs tainted in a darker, nearly blackish red, that is because instead of a iron conjugation, this patient possesses a platin conjugation and so nearly tripled the possible bindings of Oxygen and so is also able to use Carbondioxid to breathe. A side effect was is raised stamina and durability in nearly tripled form to that of a human. Well air pollution has never been higher! Meaning that also the amount of Carbondioxid and monoxid is significantly high, a perfect air to breathe for this alien,"
Taken from an audio recording from Surgeon's file on Void.

Nanites:

The Nanites main use is for medical purposes, and are often used for their soldiers, and victims of great accidents. Due to their great ability to manipulate the molecules in food to repair their bodies. These nanites are able to take many molecules from the food that are consumed by their Kelranian host. But, they must ingest a weekly vitamin, made of a gel like substance known as Mechanosynthetic Insulation Stimulants ( MSIS Or MSI Stims). As to prevent catastrophic failure within the nanites. This compound commonly found on their planet acted as an insulator.

Failure to take this vitamin will result in rupturing or organs, massive internal bleeding, and ultimately death

[ViridianHue]

Real Name: Erin Davis
Aliases: Nightshade
Good or evil?: Chaotic Neutral.
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Race: Human/Mutant

Appearance Normal:

Appearance Superhero/villian:

Rivals or Friends: Open to suggestions
Powers: Acidic Blood. Erin's blood has acidic properties and is pressurized inside her body, so that it spurts out when her skin is pierced. The blood can corrode selected substances, both organic and inorganic when exposed. Erin is also skilled in close combat and uses her ability to her advantage. Her gloves are lined with small claws, which when activated, pierces through her skin, drawing blood. During combat, she uses this to smear the blood on her target, which will 'eat' through armor, skin, etc. Combined with her melee attacks, she can prove lethal in battles.
Weapons/equipments/items: Twin blades, as shown in picture.
Strength: Erin specializes in melee combat, and has mastered stealth.
Weaknesses: Acids can be neutralized by bases, and Erin's blood is no different. The effects of her blood can be stopped when exposed to a strong base. Also, too much blood loss can weaken her like any other being.

Backstory/Personality:

Diagnosed with blood cancer as a child, Erin was told she wouldn't have very long to live. Treatment was not affordable for her parents, and stricken with grief, they resorted to look for any means possible to save their only daughter. They were approached by a shady researcher who claimed to have discovered a miraculous cure for cancer and offered his services to the family for a cheap price. Desperate to try anything, her parents subjected her to the tests, and after a series of experiments, it seemed that her ailment was cured. It wasn't until some months later that Erin accidentally cut herself and discovered to her horror, that her blood was highly corrosive.

Erin tried leading a normal life over the years. Her parents were still struggling financially, and she helped them however she could. However, she soon discovered that the world was a hard place to live in with the absence of money and power. She finally resorted to petty thievery to make ends meet, seemingly having a natural knack for going unnoticed in large crowds. Her ability helped her even break into people's homes, as she used her blood to dissolve away the locks on doors. Eventually, she was noticed by a group of thieves, who offered to pay her more for her services. They trained her to use weapons and taught her the art of stealth to aid her on her tasks.

Erin relies on her instincts.She does whatever seems like the right thing to do, depending on how it affects her. If she sees that something is in her best interest, she will do it, even if it seems unethical. She is indifferent when it comes to deciding what's 'right' or what's 'wrong', making decisions with an unbiased heart. However, that does not mean she will commit heinous crimes. She has her own set of principles that she follows, such as helping those who help her or harming those who harm her. While she will talk to people with a smile (unless they greet her with insults), she will keep them at a distance and does not trust anyone easily. Over the years, she has met many people but few she can call friends. Though she longs for companionship, she has not yet met anyone who she would trust enough to overlook her own well-being for.

[Spencer]

I am currently not able to accept the cs, untill I`m back home! So wait. @Chulance, I`m not sure what Omega is going to be, but if he`s a single enemy, I`ll probably play him.

[Spencer]

@Apzac, Erebus is accepted! Just a quick question though, how can he become aware of a shadow without seeing it? Can he 'feel' shadows or does he need to know that there is a shadow somewhere nearby.

@Gilgex, I think your character is a little bit too much. Drinking souls, making people explode, making portals, scythe (which is cool though) and armor that you can store inside his body and resurrection sounds a bit much. The main problem is that drinking souls and resurrecting people can be highly annoying for the others. The story and weaknesses are fine. Gives some kind of Superman-esque vibe. Overall: I'm not okay with the soul weapons and resurrecting. (resurrecting is mostly something that supportive superheroes use.) The scythe is cool and portals... I don't know, if it was his major ability I would be okay with it. But not as a minor ability.

[Gravislayer]

Saving a spot for a hero~
Something like the crazy German scientists who's just an expert with biological chemicals and nano technology~
Prepare for the ultimate showdown of giant scorpion with laser stinger versus gigantic bio tech supported killer worm.... I am taking bets now!

[Spencer]

Wait, @gravislayer, wut. N... not the... giant.... worm... my only weakness.

[Owlriel]

That's his whole thing, the soul orbs can be dodged, and the soul drinking is a major part of him as everything he does is fueled by that. Also he cannot resurect himself, only other people. Also he's an alien, he is going to have some serious tech. That's all the things he has, he has nothing else. Removing one thing destroys his entire character.

[Gravislayer]

They have the speed of sound....a normal human has the reaction of 0.5 seconds...the speed of sound is 600km/h so 167m/s if you are now standing 80metres away...then someone could response....otgerwise...insta kill...which is overpowered.....

[Spencer]

I just don't really get how souls can be used as fuel. The fact is that him drinking souls is just too strong. I get that he's an alien and such. But I think that him drinking souls is a no go. I'm sorry.(also, good point @Gravislayer)

[Owlriel]

It's the specific energy pattern of a biological being I just refer to it as a soul because it's easier then naming it something else, also I can easily change the speed at which the orbs fly. However, know that Grimm isn't going to be going out starting fights, that isn't a part of his character. The worst he's gonna do is make someone else fall on top of another to get some giggles. The exploding orbs are to defend himself by breaking a couple bones to stop his attacker, also he can absorb the souls without the need to kill someone else, he can just follow a mass murdering psychopath to get what he wants. Or go to a hospital, and wait for the sick to die, heck I've even been thinking of making his alter ego a doctor.

[Wonder]

[apzac]

@Spencer ya he can feel the shadows within his range, though just seeing and remembering the location is a bit faster for him.
