[OOC] Masterminds

[MarshiestMallow]

So. This was on the old site, and was continued here, however by a group decision, it has been decided to restart it, as in the confusion, we all got muddled. So, welcome back those who are returning, and welcome to those who start with us! IF YOU WERE IN THIS BEFORE< YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY ACCEPTED

---

22 years ago a project was started in a secret government Agency within America. It was called "Masterminds", and aimed at developing super beings for battle purposes. Tests were done on pregnant women, in n attempt to mutate cells within the embryos. The results were inconclusive. It appeared that there were no significant changes to the infants DNA, and no sign of super abilities.

Somehow, seven years into the project, information slipped out, and it was shut down due to public outrage. By then, many of the children from the project were beginning, or had shown signs of having special abilities. And now the government wants them back, and will stop at nothing to have them.

---

Right, so after some thought, I have decided to create the head of the government myself, and will claim a female and male character.

note to those returning, feel free to keep your same characters, or create new ones. I have yet to decide if I will create new characters, or keep mine.

Since I would like to share plans, details and such, I would like someone to co-GM with me, since life is getting busy at the moment, it would be nice to have someone to be in charge when I am not around.

I also do not think it is necessary to have any of the characters, in the beginning to be completely "Bulked out", meaning they shouldn't be all powerful right from the start, or how is that fun?

[KatherinWinter]

Name: Katherin Winter
age: 17
Gender: Female
Powers/ability: Snow and Ice (decided I wanted to be able to fight this time.)
Looks:
Bio: Katherin is an orphan. She doesn't know a lot about her past. Her memories are very fuzzy before her 10th birthday. Katherin has lived on the streets most of her life. So she is comfortable protecting herself. Katherin is very confident in her abilities even if they don't always work the way she wants them to. Katherin is very curious and mischievous. She likes meeting new people and trying new things.
Other: Enclosed or dark places.
good or bad?: Good

[MarshiestMallow]

Haha, great. That's why a restart is good, you can change your characters around. I'm gonna go to bed soon (Frigging exhausted, but on the bright side, only have 300 more words to write on my assignment), and will have mine up in the morning.

I hope the others find their way here too!

[KatherinWinter]

I am almost to page to. I'll keep an out for the others.

[nautilusmp]

Name: Ruslan Usmanov
age: 19 (was that right the last time around?)
Gender: Male
Powers/abilities: telekinesis, invisibility
Limitations: Ruslan's telekinesis often fail to work at narrow spaces such as keyholes, although it works on small objects given enough space. His invisibility only works on the visible spectrum, meaning that thermal or infrared scanners will reveal his presence very easily.

Looks: http://i59.tinypic.com/11rf7uc.jpg
Bio: Ruslan is not American, and until today he still holds his Russian passport. He was the subject of Moscow's experiment when their intelligence knew about the existence of the American project. However, economic crisis soon came and the project's funding was stopped, ending the project as soon as it started with very few subjects ever born including Ruslan. When the project stopped, his family moved to the USA in search of a better life.

In the USA, Ruslan found his talent in racing, and started to make a career out of it. After winning a number of lesser-known and lesser-televised series, Ruslan raced in the Indy Lights. As a rookie, he finished second in the season, performing very well in road courses and street circuits but less so on the banked oval tracks. A team competing in the IndyCar series was already approaching him on the final weeks of the season for a driver's seat at the IndyCar series, but on the last day of the season a power senser watched his race and found out the previously well-kept secret. From that day on, he was on the run, and the lucrative contract deal falls through because he failed to show up.

Ruslan is not someone who trusts government officials easily, as well as anyone who speaks lawyer's language to him. He doesn't make deals with them easily due to the perceived likeliness of a defection. Ruslan is a bit enigmatic, weird, and sometimes a bit contradictory. For instance, he gets American news from Russian sources and Russian news from American sources.

Other: Ruslan fears of any Russian-looking stranger who speaks Russian to him on the first sight. Speaking about Russian language, his knowledge of Russian language is very little due to spending almost his entire life in the United States.
good or bad? Good

[KatherinWinter]

One familiar name and face ;)

[nautilusmp]

face? it isn't even there ._.

[KatherinWinter]

LOL I know ;) I was wonder if anyone would say anything about that

[Rusalka]

Name: Maria Tesla

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Powers/abilities: Magnetism and Electrokinesis (Lightning manipulation. Think inFamous)

Looks:


Bio: Growing up, she always knew she was different from others. Raised in an orphanage, Maria grew up never knowing her parents, only being told by the nuns who presided over the orphanage that her mother and father had died in a terrible accident and a passing motorist discovered her infant body still alive. Since childhood, she believed what the nuns had told her, yet Maria couldn't help but think she was different from all the other children. During thunderstorms, she would feel as though lightning was striking ever closer to her, and whenever she was near any sort of electrical appliance, it would faze out or short, televisions and radios would black out and hiss with static in her presence. Not to mention at times, she would catch herself issuing small bolts of lightning....from her fingertips. It scared her no less....at first, and it definitely gained her quite the attention...albeit for the wrong reasons...

The other children began to wonder if Maria was evil or if she was possessed by Satan, but the church who ran the orphanage soon discovered the ill truth behind her power, and by order of the priest, Maria was exiled from the orphanage. Now living in exile, she's become a degenerate, an outcast who abuses her power, now seeing it as the greatest gift of all instead of how the orphanage presumed of it...pure evil. Over the course of a few years, she used her power to rob banks, mug people, and at some points...kill. Some would say she's addicted to the chaos she causes, but to Maria....this is her revenge, striking back against a world....that has forsaken her.

Other: She wears a cybergoth style respirator and special clawed gloves The claws are made of a special metal that can conduct electricity well and allows Maria to channel her power through her hands and deliver some devastating melee attacks. She's very adept in parkour and specializes well in hand to hand combat. Maria's huge into cybergoth, and mostly her clothes and hairstyle deeply reflect that, and when she's not out on a night of anarchy, she's usually hanging out at an underground cybergoth club called St4tiK P14ygr0unD. She even has an apartment above the club.

good or bad?: What would she care what others think of her? Plus it all depends on how you view her as well.

[C W St J Nobbs]

Name: Feyd Rautha

age: 19

Gender: Sex machine Male

Powers/abilities: Manipulate fire with the goal of eventually creating it, remote viewing and telekinesis

Looks: Tall, pale skin, very muscular, clean shaven, with a shaved head. He has several visible scars and his nose was broken several times but never set, so it is permanently crooked and he almost has no sense of smell. He has light green eyes

Bio (History, personality, that sort of thing): His mother died when he was very young, so Feyd was raised by his incredibly abusive father, with the scars and fractures left to prove it. When he was very young, a mysterious fire started at his father's house and only Feyd made it out. He was bounced around foster homes without being adopted until he turned 18, at which point the state cut him a check for $200 and wished him the best of luck. He learned that he had a flair (lol) for flame when he was 14 and was trying to light a cigarette on a very windy day. He eventually became so frustrated that he put all his effort into the lighter not being blown out this time, and it wasn't. He taught himself to refine his powers for years after that, but he still feels there is always more he'll be able to learn. He used his powers to become a flame eater, and travels around the country with the rest of the people in his group.

He tried to be mostly nice to people, but sometimes someone says the wrong thing to him and gets themselves black listed forever. After that, he might acknowledge that you spoke to him, but would never have anything to say back. He holds onto a grudge like no other, and enjoys being alone when he has the chance, but can function in a group though it's not what he'd do if he had the option. He always enjoys trying new things and being exposed to new cultures, which is one of the things he loves so much about being in a traveling act.

Other: An extreme distaste for spiders and he loves Rottweilers.

good or bad? Good guy, but with a name like "Feyd" one never knows what path he will walk...
(HINT: This means I have every intention of him eventually being a very, very, very bad person, if that's acceptable. If not, I'm cool being a good guy the whole time too.)

[KatherinWinter]

I am excited to see new faces Both characters look very interesting.

[MarshiestMallow]

age 20
Gender: male
Powers/abilities : the ability to control shadows, some mild mind reading
Looks:
Bio Jamie was orphaned when his mother died giving birth to him. He never knew who his father was, although he has his suspicions. Rather then being sent to an orphanage, he was kept as part of the program, and raised by one if it's members.

Other N/A
good or bad? bad...at the moment.

Name: Leela Peterson
age: 22
Gender:female
Powers/abilities: Water manipulation, ability to talk with animals, and the slight ability to heal.
Looks:

Bio/ the youngest of seven, Leela was virtually raised by her elder brothers, as her parents worked to sustain them. As such, she has a kick butt attitude that hides her more girly side. She was the only one of her siblings to be a part of the project, but they would die protecting her. She is a bright individual, and has been studying to be a teAcher.
Other

[PhoenixEye9]

Name: Veyas Stormwolf

age: 16

Gender: Male

Powers/abilities: Telepathy, Telekinesis, Teleportation (lets say no more then 3, unless you can give me a good reason)

Looks:

Bio: The government got to keep Veyas, to watch and study as he was born to a family that both went "MIA" overseas not even a year after his birth. With their security clearances to high for a civilian to sweep the house before the government Veyas was taken with them. Veyas could sense it in them, they were liars about being his family. For his 15th birthday he was given Fu-Taos (Hook swords) and after 3 months training he killed his family. After killing his family Veyas was moved into another facility where it was explained to him everything that has transpired, since then Veyas has played as the governments lap dog.

Other: 2 Fu-Taos, a 9mm pistol, a stored sniper. Has a wolf that the government gave him as good faith. (Do you have weapons, a pet, some secret fear you don't want any one to know? Be creative if you want)

good or bad: Bad (Note, you can choose to be a baddie, makes things interesting, and yes, they can have powers too)
