[Scarifar]

How do you put hiders in hiders? I never learned the new way to do it ever since the updates to Rpg.

@ScarlettWaters16

And one is icey and the other is fiery. XD Funny how things turn out, really. ...Anyways, it's late here so probably going to introduce Hotblood tomorrow. ^^;

@Art of Fun

I've decided to accept you, move your character over when you feel like it.

[Scrub Mage]

I'm going to assume that this isn't closed and just leave a character sheet here and if that's not the case then whoops. If there's anything I need to change, let me know and I'll be glad to do so.

Royal Rat King, Scragglefur

Age: Scragglefur is a stunning 17 years old. Rats don’t usually live that long. Personality: Scragglefur is a very kind and benevolent rat, showing sympathy and caring all too deeply about his smaller rat brethren. He is friendly and helpful to his rat brethren; however, these qualities extend only to rats. As the Royal Rat King, Scragglefur is prideful and willing to do anything it takes to lead his “people” to their “rightful place”. Anything he does is for the rats within his care and across the globe. He looks down upon people (despite being physically shorter than most) and tends to treat them like most people would treat rats; as vermin. He also happens to view mice as blights and vile little creatures, along with most non-rat rodents. Aside from this, those that grow close to Scragglefur will find that he is still in tune with his primal instincts, even eating scraps of food from the trashcan. While he views people as vermin, he still tolerates them and will even have a lively conversation with someone. He also claims to be very intelligent, though this is because he is comparing himself to other rats. If you gave him a book (or any piece of paper really) he would eat it. Scragglefur also has a fragile psyche and is easily defeated in a battle of wit. If he were to sit down and play chess without trying to eat the pieces or board, one would find that he is the type of player to wipe his hand across the playing field and knock off all the pieces upon losing. Powers: Scragglefur’s powers revolve around rats and his uncanny ability to understand and be understood by them (because he’s a giant rat). Whilst he can’t summon them from thin air, or call them from miles away, Scragglefur is known as the Royal Rat King for a reason. The rats lucky enough to cross his path have taken to calling him a noble and just leader of the rats and as such, they follow him unto glory. Really all this means is that Scragglefur has an army of rats at his disposal and can befriend more rats to increase his numbers. They also do other things like help him scrounge for food. Other than that, Scragglefur just has natural rat-like abilities. He can chew through wood with ease, be a general nuisance, occasionally spread pestilence, and much more. As a rat, he’s light on his feet and can be sneaky, but usually isn’t. He’s quick and agile. He also tends to fight dirty. Scragglefur also has a great sense of taste and smell, as well as clawed hands and feet. Weakness: Scragglefur is very attached to his rat friends and will be emotionally distraught when one is harmed. Despite this, Scragglefur’s greatest undoing is his pride. He believes himself to be a sort of messiah to the Rats and believes that he will lead them to their “rightful place”. As such, he places too much faith in his rats and often finds that they are, in fact, not as strong an army as he would like to believe. There is also the fact that, on their own, rats aren’t able to outsmart many people. Disabling Scragglefur would disable his entire horde and cause them to flee. Scragglefur also hates being outsmarted despite it being a blatantly easy task to do so. Giving him a riddle and asking him to solve it will usually result in him trying to attack you, to save himself the embarrassment of being outsmarted. He also has a phobia of mazes and labyrinths of any sort. While Scragglefur has a great sense of smell and taste, his eyesight is severely limited when in places that are bright. He isn't very strong either and the quality of the weapons he uses is laughable at best. They’re mostly for show anyways. He also happens to be a coward and it’s not unheard of for him to flee from a fight. Appearance: Scragglefur stands at a tall (for a rat) four feet and eight inches and wields a shoddily crafted whip and even more shoddily crafted dagger. They’re really for show, so he can look try to look intimidating. His outfit was sewn by him some time in the past and he’s taken to slowly adding to it every once in a while. He has old and worn bandages that he uses as both binding and to cover old wounds. He’s added on bits of scrap metal to his robe for a little more protection than just cloth on skin. He also has a hood that he can put on, for when he’s not crawling around in the sewers. Bio: The origins of Royal Rat King Scragglefur start in a lab, when his royal majesty was still but a humble lab rat and his life was simple and with little purpose. Run the maze, get the cheese. Life was simple, but soon the human scum reached down and put his filthy hands on his royal majesty. In an act of rebellion, his royal highness bit into the hands that held him. Drawing the vermin’s blood, the Royal Rat King Scragglefur was moved into isolation for his rebellion. It was here that they moved onto cruel tests, poking and prodding him with needles until they were certain our lord was “free from disease”. Then, they moved onto the other vile practices. His Royal Highness Scragglefur was turned into nothing short of a monster. Filled to the brim with inhumane treatments and prototype poisons, they only served to make him strong. It was when they introduced him to “it”, that he became something more. It was a subtle change at first, he could feel himself growing. Maybe it was an accident, but they studied him more. It was maddening. From his special prison, he was able to see his brethren persecuted at the hands of man. Their lives had little meaning, no purpose, and no motivation. It simply began and ended in the blink of an eye, all except for his. As the years wore on, he grew bigger and bigger. But freedom was never in sight. In fact, very few things were in sight thanks to the maddeningly bright white light. But the men he could see were slowly getting smaller than they used to be. Or maybe it was just that he was growing bigger? It was all very maddening and it left a scar on Royal Rat King Scragglefur’s already fragile psyche. Whether through luck or intervention by an outside force, an emergency in the lab saw His Royal Highness Scragglefur and his loyal subjects escaping from the clutches of the vermin known as man. They fled to the sewers of Jump City, easily becoming accustomed to the comforting environment and even building a sort of shanty-town out of junk. But Royal Rat King Scragglefur has better plans for his rats, to lead them out of hiding in the sewers and instead to paradise. Run the maze, get the cheese. This time, however, cheese is interchangeable with “Rat Equality”. Arc Ideas: “Exodus” Royal Rat King Scragglefur would attempt to lead his rats from the poverty of the sewers and into Jump City. Probably into a hotel or something, it’d be more of a nuisance than anything, really. “Equality” Scragglefur would spend a while just trying to rally up support for a petition to give Rats the same rights as first-class citizens. There’d be paperwork and everything. Really this one would involve people asking him politely to leave and him ranting about how his voice would be heard or something. Of course, people don’t usually take kindly to giant talking rats. “Equality II” Scragglefur would somehow successfully lead an assault on the lab he was born in and try to take it over, so that he could “enlighten” his rat brethren and turn them into things like him. Other: A few things. Firstly, I don’t think I stated this anywhere else, but whatever side will benefit his army of rats is the side he’ll fight for, even if that means switching sides… multiple times. Secondly, if there’s anything I need to change, I’d be glad to do so. Thirdly, Titans Forever

[Rin]

ALL GLORY TO THE HORNED RAT! ...I mean um... Scragglefur looks like a ton of fun, and I don't see anything wrong with him so unless Krab objects I'll give him my seal of approval.

[KriticalKrab]

@Scrub Mage

This is a very...unique app, I mean that in a good way, It's actually refreshing to get something like this. I want to see what you do. Yeah, accepted. Additionally "occasionally spread pestilence." Have to admit, that gave me a good chuckle.

How do you put hiders in hiders? I never learned the new way to do it ever since the updates to Rpg.

@Scarifar

It's just hiders inside hiders. Hiderception? [EDIT] People with villain characters that are still following this rp, just say you're here. I might be planning something with you guys.

[Scrub Mage]

Woo! Yeah! Time to eat books and flee from combat!

[ScarlettWaters16]

Like this Scarifar?

Testing

Sorry, Testing this theory out.

Test2

Testing some more.

Test?

Last one

Testing...

My Hider

Oh, there we go. Wow that was easy.

[Scarifar]

Also, I've been thinking about changing Press' Alias to Paragon. So... yeah.

[OwO]

Hot Socks!

Name: Sven Ognerson Age: 18 Personality: Sven is a calm man. He prefers to play his saxophone(s) instead of argue with others. When he gets extremely angry at people, he'll aggressively play saxophone with humble pelvic thrusts. He's somewhat of a pacifist. He does not enjoy fighting others, so he'll try to coerce them into less violent options. The only time he gets violent is when someone damages one of his saxophones. Then there will be hell to pay. Sven is also quite clumsy. People don't let him near things. He has an uncanny power to accidentally break stuff. Powers: Measurable Strength Sven can lift much more than someone of his normal size. He can lift the back of a small car, if he really tried. Brass Armour Not quite a power, but Sven has brass covering all of his vitals. His right arm is completely covered in Brass. It's stylized with a little saxophone behind his shoulder. His right fist has an air piston. Upon punching, it expands, dealing considerable damage, and destroying brittle objects such as support pillars. Dulcet Tones Listening to Sven's sax calms the nerves, making pain feel slightly less bad. Magic(?) Hat For some odd reason, whenever Sven puts on his hat, his face becomes covered in shadows. Weakness: Really slow. Like. You could walk backwards faster than he can run forwards. He can't turn that well, either. He's not that well adjusted to combat, so you could outfight him. Or you could just strike up a conversation. Appearance: Sven is a big man. He stands at 6'3", and weighs around 190 pounds. When in civilian clothes, he generally wears a white tuxedo, and carries around a tenor Saxophone with him. He carries a Sopranino with him that is in a case on his back. He has light blonde hair, which is long and groomed neatly.

Plain Clothes

Bio: Sven was a child prodigy. A rhythmical genius. Since he was a child, he was always drawn to saxophones. Something about them made him happy. He got his first saxophone when he was 7. He played that like a, well, saxophone lover played a saxophone. He had that thing until he was 14. He was walking home from school when he saw a robbery in place. He was rather shocked by what was happening. It wasn't a large one. Just some guy holding up a small store with a knife. He stood still, watching, not knowing what to do. The robber ran out, and towards Sven. Sven instinctively clubbed the robber with his saxophone. It took a few moments for him to realize what was happening. He screamed out "MY SAXOPHONE!", and fell to his knees, almost crying. His first saxophone, a soprano, was damaged beyond repair. He cried and cried over his best friend leaving him (even though it was his own fault). His parents surprised him with another Saxophone. Two, in fact. A tenor, and a sopranino. He vowed he would never damage these two saxophones. When he was 16, he reminisced that time when he fought the robber. He felt fulfilled when he "fought" the man. He was a hero for a few days, before he drifted off to obscurity. He wanted to relive that time (minus the entire saxo-broken thing), so he started to train himself. Strength, endurance and stamina training everyday. He spent his money on forming brass and thick cloth into armour, a big ol' hat and a cool coat. He started his career as Hot Socks!, the one superhero that nobody really remembered, and is only mediocre at their job of stopping small-time criminals. Arc Ideas: "Woops" Sven accidentally befriends a super-dangerous villain. "Woops V2" Sven accidentally befriends a giant rat. "Woops V3" Sven accidentally breaks a cursed artifact, reincarnating a great evil. Other: Titans Forever. Also, give me time to find a good picture for his appearance.

[Ves]

He looks really, really cool. Also, will probably get a post up tomorrow evening. Don't leave me behind~

[Archmage MC]

Should I clarify all the benefits that MC gets by being made of energy or no?

[PaulHaynek]

Holy cow. I took a day off to study Economics and suddenly s*** happens. Okay I wanna clarify, am I accepted or not? No? Cool. Yes? Super cool. Also, I want to address one thing.

They are ridiculously over-the-top dark. Seriously, what do you honestly expect to happen when, tonally(at least from what I've seen) this is supposed to not be too far off from the Teen Titans cartoon. Which had a brain in a jar and a talking Gorilla as some of the final villains. I mean, they were serious and it's been ages but I remember it being a really cool arc, but they were still a brain in a jar and a talking Gorilla. Not "organ thief druglord who murdered his own parents for basically no reason aside from evil crazy and who imprisoning will somehow just make things worse". This isn't some super-dark, gritty, "realistic but not really" RP.

@VitaVitaAR

Yes I remember that episode. 'Twas epic. But let us not forget Slade a.k.a. Deathstroke. The guy whose appearance marks the end of comedy, the guy who poisoned the Titans just to get Robin to work for him, the guy who tempted Terra to betray the Titans, the guy who almost killed Robin even when he was dead, the guy who helped bring about the end of the world just so he could live again (though did save it 'cause Trigon ratted him out). Though I understand if mah boi's worse than Deathstroke. Mah boi operates within the realm of possibility and thus much more unsettling than Slade.

[The Patriarch]

Name: Kobby Aboah Alias: Anansi Age: 15 Personality: Kobby is a kind person and ever since he began his journey as a shaman he has been trying to reconnect with his cultural heritage. Because of his ties with the spirit world, Kobby can seem detached and weird. He is very wise and is willing to help anyone who seeks his help as long as it skills aren't used to do bad. One of his flaws is that he can be judgmental about materialism of modern society. Powers: Shamanism: Anansi has the abilities of a shaman and is thus able to utilize spiritual magic and see and communicate with the spirit world. This grants him the ability summon spirits of all types to his aid, but he prefers summoning nature and ancestral spirits. Being a practitioner of shamanism allows him to tap into the large well of spiritual power and is able to perceive all things spiritual. Finally he can bring a spirit into his body and share its power and wisdom. Spirit Bolt: He is able to fire off a bolt of spiritual energy that is harmful only to things that have spirit or soul, but it is can be very costly if used too many times. Spirit Webbing: Anansi can create a web of spiritual energy that can't be seen by the normal eye. This web allows him to know the location of anything that has a form of spirit or soul when it passes through it. The web has to be connected and lead back to him for it to work. Spirit Hand: He can move objects with spiritual energy and amount of size and weight that he is able move is determined by how much energy he puts into moving the object. Shamanistic Healing: As a shaman Anansi can spiritually heal lifeforms by soothing and healing their spirit which can heal emotional and physical traumas. This ability can take up a great amount of energy and requires a good amount of concentration. Spiritual Meditation: Anansi can enter meditative state and detach his spirit from his body to enter the spirit world to seek wisdom from the spirits as well as balance out his spirit to lessen stress and pain. He also uses meditation to replenish his spiritual energy. Spirit Music: He can use his instruments to play music which allows him to summon spirits of many kinds depending on the tune and instrument that he plays. These spirits are visible an ordinary person and can be used to frighten, aid or spiritually harm a person. Spirit Guide: Anansi has the aid of spiritual Osprey who acts as his spirit guide. Summon Instruments: this ability allows him to magically summon his instruments. Weakness: His powers are weak against iron and silver and his offense abilities are useless against any enemies that do not possess a spirit or soul. Appearance: normal look costume Bio: Growing up in the country of Ghana was peaceful and the country has modernized over the recent years. But there is a price that comes with being a modern country, many of the cultural heritage of its citizens were lost to the ever advancing science and technology. For Kobby it was hard trying to keep his heritage close to himself and adapting to the modern world. His grandfather was the main reason for him to try and keep his heritage. His grandfather told him stories about the spirits that roamed the land and of the great shamans of the past. It was then he learned about the long line of shamans in his family. When his grandfather talked about the magic that was all around them Kobby imagined himself as a great shaman and doing great deeds for people all trhough out the land. These dreams eventually became a distant memory when he became older and his ties to his heritage began to weaken. Everything changed when his grandfather disappeared and Kobby felt a strange call draw him towards the savannah. One day he decided to take a trip to the wilderness and there he had an encounter with the spirits of Africa. They told him that his grandfather had passed over and that Kobby was chosen to become the next great shaman of Africa. After they had told him the spirits put Kobby into a coma like state and he spent the next three years learning the arts of shamanism while in his mystical dream state. Once he awakened Kobby was instructed to journey to America and there he would find his destiny. So he did as he was told and went to America. Once there he saw the heroes of the country fight off great evils and Kobby believed that this may have been what the spirits meant for him. And so he donned the costume of a shaman and eventually joined the Teen Titans team hoping to find out if this was his destiny. Arc Ideas:(This is to help me out in case I run dry on ideas.) Other: he has a bag of herbs which he can use for treatments.

Forgot to say that I'm still here. I'm still here.

[The Patriarch]

almost done with my CS

[KriticalKrab]

@SilverDawn

Hhhmm, Accepted. I'll also assume you've based your character on that picture.

Should I clarify all the benefits that MC gets by being made of energy or no?

@Archmage MC

I imagine it's pretty self explanatory if it's not already listed on your app.

@PaulHaynek

To begin, i'm sorry I didn't see your app earlier. As you've seen alot happened between then and when I returned. As for your app, I think it is a little extreme. You have your guy killing his parents and selling their organs for money, I think there were quite a few different roads he could have taken. I understand you wanted a threatening villain to play as, but I do feel like you're used to more extreme or more sensitive RP's than this. Meaning I'm probably not going to talk about dissecting people and selling their innards. I deny you on the basis that this just wouldn't be your cup of tea, and that you probably could have censored a few things or replaced them with something else entirely.

@The Patriarch

Why do i feel like these apps just keep on getting more unusual, which is a good thing to be honest. Now for your app, Accepted, but it seems like he was built around being the support. Which is fine, but are you okay with that or am i interpreting this wrong?

[Rin]

Yeah, I was going to mention that this seems to veer more towards the over-the-top supervillains, aliens and gorillas with jetpacks side of superheroes than the grim 'n' gritty crime bosses and drug lords kind of stuff, but I never got the time. ^^; Oh well. ...Amusingly enough, the god Anansi is actually a thing in the DCU, so I now kind of want someone to show up who'd be confused by Patriarch's character's supranym buuut I'll try and curb that urge. XD Anyways, hopefully will get a post up soon if my connections stops being stupid for a moment.
