State of Heroes and Villains

[knight125]

This RP is the second chapter of the Academy of Heroes and Villains RP and takes place in an amalgamation of the Marvel and DC comics universes. Before I continue, I'll give a little background on what the Academy was. If you have any question, feel free to ask.

Background on the Academy

In the year 2025 most of the heroes and villains that we know and love have either retired, died, or signed a peace treaty. Some, however, decided to teach the next generation of superhumans how to use their powers. A facility known as the Academy was established in New York so the children of heroes and villains could be given the training necessary to help them control their abilities and achieve their goals, whether those goals be benevolent or nefarious.

In this roleplay, which takes place five years after the events of the Academy RP, our characters have graduated and moved on with their lives. However, the complete destruction of the Academy by unknown forces draws the former students back to investigate. While trying to learn the identity of the Academy's attacker, the alumni uncover a sinister plot that has left young metahumans nationwide dead or missing. Will the friends and former rivals work together to stop the machinations of a shared, shadowy advesary, or will buried grudges, forgotten feuds, and hasty accusations damn them all?

Rules

I'm not big on rules, but to keep things civil and running smoothly, a few ground rules need to be set.

1- No Godmodding. I understand this can be somewhat difficult, bearing in mind the nature of our characters, so I'm pretty understanding about this. However, if I feel that you're godmodding and I ask you to tone it down, please listen. Three strikes within a month and your banned for a month. When you come back, if it happens again, you're banned for good.

2- Keep cursing to a minimum.

3- Keep romance PG-13. Anything else needs to be taken to PMs.

4- If two people want the same parents for their characters, the person that joined the RP first decides whether or not they share. Some of the people from the Academy RP are importing their characters, which means they get dibs on parents. If you want someone as a parent and they're already taken, try talking it out, comics are full of infidelity and one night stands.

My Characters

Name: Ben Parker
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Parents: Peter Parker (Spider-Man) and Felicia Hardy (Black Cat)
Powers: Ben has the combined agility of his parents, fangs with a paralytic venom, the ability to see perfectly in the dark, telescopic sight, enhanced hearing. The downfall of his night vision is that the sun hurts his eyes, and his irides are now red. He has a nanotechnology suit that can mimic both the appearance and abilities of any suit Spider-Man ever wore. His suit can also mimic any type of clothing and gives him the ability to blend into the background. Ben can climb walls using one inch talons that are found on his fingers and toes. These talons are extremely sharp, and durable enough to pierce certain metals. When not in use, they lay flat against Ben's digits, but he can also extend them at will to use as weapons.
Appearance: 6'1"

When Powered Up:



Name: Anthony Luthor
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Parents: Lex Luthor and Kara Killgrave (The Purple Woman)
Powers: He inherited his father's vast intellect and also has his own unnamed source of wealth. He inherited the ability to emit incredibly powerful pheromones. These pheromones can elicit a wide range of emotions and thoughts in others, and each specific pheromone changes his eye color. While Anthony is aware of this power, he prefers to rely on his intellect and charisma, which causes him to use the purple and grey pheromones more than the others.

Purple: Produces an overwhelming sense of calm.
Gold: Causes others to be in awe of Anthony.
Steel Grey: Causes both Anthony and those around him to base their decisions purely on logic, and prevents them from feeling any emotion.

Blue: Devastating Depression

This Interest Check is meant to, wait for it...Gauge people's interest. OOC

What of the teachers in the academy? Where they there at the time of the attack?

[knight125]

I'd definitely say yes, but I'll need to give some thought to the survivors, if there were any.

[Mr_pink]

Do you need to have superhero parents?

[knight125]

They don't have to be a superhero, but having comic book parents is an extremely good idea. However, if you have an idea for a character descended from someone other than a Marvel or DC character, and I think it's cool, you can still be accepted.

[Honey Badger]

Name: Blair Swift
Alias: Midnight
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Parents: Patience Phillips(Cat-woman) and Richard "Dickie" Swift(The Shade)
Powers: Blair is an almost perfect combination of his parents in terms of abilities. Like his mother, he can see, hear and smell an a level that is super human, surpassing those of most animals. Blair also has enhanced reflexes and flexibility, being able to move his body quickly in ways that seem unnatural with his build. Blair also has the ability to manipulate darkness; he can create physical constructs of darkness, teleport through the shadowlands (Though it drains his energy greatly), project beams and bolts of darkness as well as forcefields. As his primary powers are based on darkness, light manipulation is his greatest weakness.

Normal Appearance:

Hider

Outfit: Blair's costume is actually quite similar to Black Cat's, being a skin tight cat suit with a fur collar and front zipper. The leather is a pristine white, to contrast his darker skin and the fur is a pitch black, the zipper is also all the way down, stopping at his pelvis, just before anything could show. He also wears a pair of black, leather four inch heeled boots and a black partial "V-Domino" mask. He is astutely aware that his outfit is very sexualized and feminine in specific aspects, though the out as well as his persona while wearing it allow him to hide his identity much better than average.

[twave]

I'd definitely say yes, but I'll need to give some thought to the survivors, if there were any.

@knight125

Kagerou would survive.

---

Going to change up Estella's appearance up quite a bit. Hopefully the history with the Parkers is okay.

WIP

Name: Esuterura Kuinu (Earth name: Estella)

Alias: Elemental

Gender: Female

Age: 23 (Earth years)

Parents: Ransetura and Arnensa Kuinu (both deceased). However she does see Peter Parker as a father figure from Ben's memories.

Powers: Esuterura can control the elements of nature. Due to her race communicating strictly through the mind she possesses a natural aptitude for telepathy. In turn her people's evolution has granted her a great deal of resistance to mental intrusion.

Bio: Esuterura (her name is derived from her home planet) was the princess of a planet named Suteruraru. It was a very lush planet and its people were very close to nature. As far as their history goes the people have possessed telepathy, very early on making speaking unnecessary and forgotten. Over time they evolved the ability to manipulate the elements around them. Typically an individual could only manipulate one and it was a marvel to be able to control two. But over many very careful selection of marriages, a select few families managed to gain all five. These families, through fear or respect became the ruling class, seen as royalty. Though tension existed between them, there remained an uneasy peace for many years. Technology advanced while small conflicts tested the limits of diplomacy. The Kuinu line rose to be the strongest ruling power.

Eventually the lines of communication were shattered by the sounds of war. At first it didn't look like much would come of the smaller families pushing back. When alliances began to firm the threat became a real. The Kuinu family were loosing ground at an ever accelerating rate. Things were not yet beyond the point of no return. However, not wanting to put his daughter in danger the king ordered the remainder of the Kuinu family to be evacuated. Most of their resources committed to the war a small fleet of cruisers took to the stars with the enemy in pursuit. The fleet attacked and destroyed, only a few stasis pods escaped with the sole instruction to land on the first habitable planet it detected.

Upon arriving on Earth, Estella (as she had become known) found herself surrounded by a strange people that were not accustomed, or adept, at communicating telepathically. Moreover those she was with were not ordinary in their own right. Out of place but not without encouragement she began to learn about the world and the strange concept of speech. Over time she began to fit in and make friends. But her toughest trial would not come from her new home. Hidden away on the ship she arrived in was one of the very weapons that helped destroy her world. Transformed into a soldier for a long extinct war Estella fought against her new destructive instincts. Seeing that she was loosing control she set off in her repaired ship to find a cure for her condition. Attaining that goal did not come without consequences.

Losing her memories the only clues she had left to follow were Ben Parker's memories. They had been implanted in her mind during her transformation. As one might expect this caused her more than a little confusion. Lost and alone the Parkers became her unofficial adoptive family. But even they could only help so much as the young aliens' memories began to return. Most of it was more sad than anything. She would never see her real family again, or even anyone of her race. Even with a ship to travel there was no telling where to go or how long it would take to get there. For all intents and purposes Earth was her home now.

Resigning to stay at the only place she'd ever really lived on Earth, Estella was only a couple years away from graduation when things started going wrong. While the academy was founded for the next generation of supers it apparently wasn't the only one that thought of it. Without the tried and true heroes out in the world new villains began to surface that were not bound by the treaty. Earlier than expected the time had come for their training to be put to the test. Mentally Estella was prepared by both the academy and the weapon she'd been exposed to. Emotionally she was uncertain and afraid of the public reception. But there was no way around it. She would protect her new home to the best of her ability. Having a good mode of transportation she often found herself stopping crimes further and further away from the academy. As a result over the last couple years she'd drifted from her former classmates.

Appearance:

[Klyix]

Eldkatla Lokidóttir

Gender Female

Age 25

Parents Loki and unknown

Powers Sorcery; superhuman strength; enhanced durability; asgardian lifespan

Abilities Advanced intellect; cunning; word power; knowledge of potions/charms

Bio With the God of Mischief as your father a normal upbringing is more or less out of the question. For as long as she can remember her father has been teaching her. She's been learning how to wield weapons, how to fight, how to manipulate, but most of all her magic. Kat doesn't resent him for it though, now understanding the necessity of it now. However it wasn't a stable childhood, with Kat in constant movement in and between realms. Not much detail is really known about her early years so why or how she came to be on Earth, but she was quickly directed to the Academy in fear of her reaping the chaos as Loki had before her. Her time there was as unstable as her life, disappearing for a time and returning with no explanation.

Eventually she left for good, 'graduated' they called it but she had no sense of success or completion. Almost immediately she disappeared, hard to reach and hard to find. But there were still small signs she remained on Earth: a figure in the back of a tourist photo, a face at a ball with an ignorant man by her side. Then the academy was attacked and curiosity won out. The Midgardians may believe curiosity killed the cat but she knows better.

People are quick to point out her flaws: a vain and stubborn girl, more occupied satisfying her hedonism than worrying about anyone else. It doesn't worry her, if they are willing to underestimate her it is their own downfall they are orchestrating. Because in truth, there is so much more. Granted there is nothing innocent about her, Kat is amorous and sarcastic, favouring a macabre sense of humour. However she is intelligent and sharp, able to win favour and fight wars with words alone; she's truly Machiavellian. Despite her penchant for chaos she seems to always be composed. That is not to say she does not anger, but it is not in anger that she should be feared. When she falls silent is when you should beware.

Appearance At a first glance Kat could easily be written off as looking identical to her father. She is tall, standing at 6'1", and shares his distinctive pale skin, green eyes, and black hair. However at a closer look you can see her mother is in her face as well. The sharp features of her father have been softened into something more charming and alluring. She does not have his lean and hungry look and although not a conventional Asgardian beauty something about her draws the eye.

@Klyix
Took me the longest time to place that pic but I've got it! That's Morgana from Merlin!

Also time to remake Ryan and Jack. I've hit Ryan down pat.


Name: Jack Parker

Gender: Male

Age: 22

Parents: Peter Parker

Powers: All of Spiderman's normal powers. He has a rather good grasp on them. His spider sense has gotten stronger over the years and his natural webslingers are still there. He created a pair of gauntlets and boots for his suit to help him travel the city. They have a few gadgets in them to help him with his investigations.

Bio: He is Ben's younger twin brother and is a bit of a jokester like his father. Never really all that serious. Unless someone he cares about is in danger. Then he gets serious real quick.

Appearance: Jack now takes more after his father than he does his brother. After graduation he focused on trying to add more muscle and not appear quite so skinny. Jack has a few tattoos on his arms. He got them as a way to rebel and try to be different.

Suit

Name : Ryan Allen

Gender: Male

Age 26

Parents: Barry Allen

Powers: All the powers of the Flash. His time as the The Flash has given him a great grip on his powers. He is not as clumsy as he was when he first came to the Academy. Now he is even faster than before. He is almost as fast as his father was before he retired. Over the years he learned how to vibrate his molecules to go through solid matter.

Bio: Over the last five years, Ryan has matured almost completely. There are a few reasons of course. The largest has to be his marriage to Phoebe four years ago. They got married soon after graduation and moved to New York City. There were a few reasons but the main reason was to be closer to their jobs. The other was because Ryan was not keen on being anywhere near Gotham. Ryan currently works for Stark Industries in the research department. This is of course when he is not being the Flash now that his father has completely retired.

That is not the only reason he matured however. One of the larger reasons occurred about a year ago with the birth of their son, Daniel Allen. The little boy became Ryan's world and he keeps a picture of him and Phoebe in his suit. He does not get all that much sleep dealing with a speedster toddler who also seems to be able to move plants.

Appearance: Ryan has filled out over the years. He is less skinny that before because his metabolism has slowed down a bit. It's still fast but he doesn't have to eat as much so now he is more muscular than skinny. As with most things he has his father build when he was Ryan's age.

[Honey Badger]

@Avanhelsing

Cool, would love to hear it.

[Honey Badger]

@Avanhelsing

Cool, would love to hear it.

[MarshiestMallow]

Name: Phoebe
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Parents: Bruce Wayne and Pamela Isley
Powers: plant manipulation. When pjoebe first developed her powers she was clumsy with them, mostly using vines even when coming to the academy, but throughout her training, whether at the school or with her mother, her skills began to expand and vary, so that she now has a multitude of attacks and control over plants
Bio: phoebe was left, and raised in an orphanage as her parents best thought to protect her. When she found out, she was at first angry and hurt, but has now come to understand why they did it, if not completely sure of the reasoning behind it.

After graduation, and marrying Ryan, she was glad to move to New York. Always perfering an apartment over an actual house, she prefered to live in the city then in the outer suburbs. She loved the feel and the motion of it, and near a park, she had everything she needed.

She developed her own landscaping company, with has done well, enough so that it doesn't need her constant attention. Then she began what she had formulated back at the academy, with her degrees in business, and began to infiltrate what she suspected as bad places. She would adopt the persona she saw as her alias, Deviks Snare, gather what information she needed and then slip away. There were several things she did with the information. If it revealed something terrible, she would at once attack as Devils snare, or if it wasn't as bad as that, she would give the informTion to those that knew what to do with it.

As the years progressed, and Phoebe began pregnant, she stepped back a bit. After the birth of Daniel pjoebe dedicated as much time and energy as the boy demanded, cherish him and going beyond just simple parental love. She was happier then she ever had been, with Ryan and their son.

She slowly began to get back into the world of business but how took precautions to make sure nothing would fall on her family
Appearance:

suit

just green

Well. Phoebes done.

[Avanhelsing]

Hmmm... Well got some stuff for Jack. Good stuff for once... Backstory!

[MarshiestMallow]

Name:Kalinda
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Parents: Raven
Powers: empathy and emotion control, shadow manipulation, telekenisis, flight, teleportation. When Kalinda first developed her powers and attended the academy, she was clumsy, to the point of destruction. Her empathic ability made even the simplest tasks hard, but now, she is in complete control
Bio: Kalinda was fifteen when her powers manifested. A trying time for anyone, but even worse for Kalinda, having to deal with her own confusing emotions and development and those of her peers. Six months after developing her abilities, she enrolled at the academy.

For a while, she didn't really have any plans for the future, or at least not more then "control". Then she came to the idea of becoming a psychologist.

So she got her degree. Graduated the academy, and now practices as a therapist. Often, if a trouble child or teen, and perhaps the occasional adult, that comes to her, she will sooth and smooth rough, confusing emotions helping them to deal with them as well as improving their lives.

No one knows of her other alias. Of black night, the hooded figure that seems to haunt the night.

Appearance:

Now just connor.

[twave]

Now I just need to work on Kagerou. Need to sort a few things with people though.

[Avanhelsing]

So we start tonight?

[MarshiestMallow]

I never thought Connors bio would be the hardest of mine to write.

I've vern staring at the beginnings of his for like three days.

[twave]

We have a Chatzy if you'd like to join us. It's just the free one but we could probably help sort things out. But it'll be easier once there is more background info in the full RP.
