[OOC] Teen Titans: Divided We Fall

[FacePunch]

Well. Amazon's the devil, apparently. Or something.

Also: Strangle Sentinel? LoL. Come at me bro.

@FacePunch

He's the son of the Goddess of Love, and doesn't seem picky about who he 'partners' up with. Even in context I wouldn't use that phrase.

[Lord Wraith]

Not to mention Sentinel's weakness to magic.

| NAME: |

Malcolm 'Mal' Summerhold

| ALIAS: |

Blue Paladin 9

| ABILITIES/SKILLS/EQUIPMENT: |

• Genius Level Intellect – Mal will announce at every available opportunity that he has an intellect so advanced that modern IQ tests can't accurately identify his intelligence level. He has figuratively broken the mould. A prodigy in the fields of theoretical and experimental physics, he has also picked up his uncles affinity for engineering. You could count the number of people able to keep up with Mal's mental processes on one hand.
• Paladin Class Warframe Armour – An entirely experimental prototype armour, developed by Summerhold Armaments engineering, financed by a coalition of western governments, using reverse engineered terrestrial and alien technology as it's basis. The armour is psionically, genetically and bio-metrically linked to Mal, meaning no one but he can use it. The armour provides Mal with the strength, power, speed, and endurance to go toe-to-toe with Superman level threats. Instead of traditional CPU and VI elemants the Paladin Warframe makes use of a scavenged Father Box, a small Apokoliptian super-computer. It also contains several armaments including, but not limited to.
  
  • Forcefield Generation
  • Self Contained Enviroment
  • Hardlight Melee Weaponry
  • Concussive Energy Blasts
  • Rocket Propelled Flight
  • High-Yield Explosive Missiles
  • Hush Tube teleportation
• Combat Stimulant Cocktail - Having advanced armour doesn't mean one is qualified to start fighting the likes of Darkseid, Reverse-Flash, or Brainiac. After all, theses creatures fight and react at much higher levels than any human could ever hope to aspire to naturally. To combat this Summerhold Armaments developed a highly potent 'cocktail', designed to increase the imbibers senses, speed and reactions to superhuman levels. Based on the Miraclo formula, each dosage lasts about eight hours, after which the user must endure an uncomfortable detox period. it also eases user neural interface with the Warframe.
• Wealth - Mal comes from a wealthy family, Summerhold Armaments once being a billion dollar company, though they have recently fallen on hard times. Still, as the saying goes 'a broke billionaire is still a millionaire.'

| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |

• No real combat experience. He's only started his hero career recently.
• Combat stims have a time limit. Once he's gone over them his effectiveness in the Warframe will be compromised.
• A lot the technology in the Paladin Warframe is alien in origin, and it's safe to say that the Summerhold's don't quite understand what they're dealing with. The Father Box in particular has the potential to be very dangerous if they're not careful with it.
• They have yet to find a truly suitable power source for the suit. They have incorporated Kryptonian solar absorption cells, and the Father Box does allow a degree of passive energy absorption and re-distrubution, but at the moment these are both 'soft' energy replenishment utilities. For 'hard' energy supply Mal currently uses an energy cell derived from Promethium, which would usually be more than enough. However due to the tremendous energy draw from the suits main functions he runs a very real risk of depleting his power supplies during a longer battle.

| SAMPLE POST: |

Sometimes in science, as in life, you just have to roll the dice. Take the plunge. Strike the drum. That's why Malcolm Summerhold was booting up the Paladin Class Warframe IX for the very first time, when his elders, and supposed betters, insisted that the armor should be left inactive. They claimed there was too many unknowns with the technology, too many anomalies in the software, too many alien variables, to declare the Paladin ready for a live fire test at this stage.

That's what they claimed anyway, but Mal knew the truth. They were afraid, afraid to take that last step, a step that would plunge them into a great unknown. But they had to, because the path to true greatness lead through the unknown. Mal knew this, but they would not listen to his arguments, so stubborn they were to keep their faces thrust firmly in the dirt. Well he would take the decision out of their hands, and then they would see. Then they would thank him!

The armory was still in a dim gloom, no one being around at this time of night. There was some visibility though, supplied by the blinking status lights on the monitor, more than enough for Mal to see by. He'd spent so many hours in this workshop that he could have traversed it in the dark anyway. He strode to the centre of the circular room, knowing time was against him now. He would have flashed up on the security systems by now. He hadn't bothered disabling them, knowing he could easily do what he had to in the time it took his father and uncle to rush to the lab. Just meant the Paladin would have an audience for it's first test run. Historic moments like this needed witnesses.

“Paladin Class Warframe IX initialisation startup. Startup code INV-641-I810F. User Malcolm Summerhold. Password blue skittles.” As soon as his voice rang out a halo of light burst into life in the centre of the room. The floor tiles slid apart, revealing a cylinder of revolving shining steel, five feet in diameter. The cylinder slowly corkscrewed into the air, until it stood over eight feet tall.

“User retinal and palm scan required.” A robotic, faintly female voice sounded. Mal input the relevant information, anticipation building. The cylinder began to break apart, unfolding like a butterfly's wings to reveal it's precious cargo, the greatest feat of human engineering of all time.

The Paladin.

Mal allowed himself a moment to admire it's splendour, the lights dancing upon it's shining silver breastplate, running his eyes along the subtle curves, as soft and proactive as a woman's. Fashioned to resemble a knights armor, it was as close to it's inspiration as a Lamborghini was to a horse drawn cart. Finished in gold trim, it was an eye catching piece, possesed of a cold beauty that none could deny. Mal still couldn't believe that his uncle didn't think it was ready. It was going going to change the future.

Mal didn't know how right he was.

| NOTES: |

-Ever since the initial bonding process that linked him to the Paladin Warframe he has been having recurring and troubling dreams, visions of a hellish, fire-ravaged world, and occasionally hearing a sibilant, nebulous voice. He tries not to sleep because of this.
-The stim cocktail is mildly addictive. The dosage is carefully measured for his body type and size.
-He has not made his heroic début as of yet.
-Is a practical joker, and enjoys annoying people, especially towards those he is fond of.

Application for my secondary character.

@BlackSam3091 "Mal means bad"

If one of my characters ends up being named River, it's your fault. Also accepted!

[Lord Wraith]

Well. Amazon's the devil, apparently. Or something.

Also: Strangle Sentinel? LoL. Come at me bro.

@FacePunch

He's not the devil, he's just horny.

...

I'll leave now.

[Cubix]

I'll be posting so that when the fun begins, Rhea would already be in the aircraft. I'd probably be gone for a few days and I'd just like to make sure that Rhea is as close to the action as possible.

[An Outsider]

He's not the devil, he's just horny.

@Lord Wraith

The reason for this whole 'Evan growing horns' subplot just became a lot clearer.

[Lord Wraith]

@Cubix Sounds good!

Man I love Rhea! Great post once again.

[King Kindred]

Fortunately Thermos doesn't know that Rhea can't reverse the zombie process. It would be the first thing he would have thought of to fix this situation, cause leadership and all.

[Cubix]

Depends though. She might be able to develop the ability if she brings back some specimen to study XD With the help of the smartest people in the team. Besides, Cell's the weakest of the group. It's about time for her to develop something useful other than her ability to speak better English.

Thanks, Wraith :) I was nervous that Rhea might be OOC for a while there.

P.S Am I the only one who has the problem that everything seems to be 1 Hr even though I posted like two minutes ago?

@Cubix

I've actually been rather torn on how the zombification works. See there's only one alien organism who is draining the life from others essentially leaving the humans as husks and turning them into the thralls of the Zuggernaut. So while you could potentially heal the body, there would be no 'life' left within the body.

[Cubix]

Dang. No use for cells then. What's a body without a soul, more or less?

[Lord Wraith]

@Cubix

Yeah...

So next arc is the city haunted by ghosts :P

[Lord Wraith]

@King Kindred The mantle of leadership is a heavy one to bear :P

[King Kindred]

@Lord Wraith You're evil, you know that?

Should I post again now or wait for others to post?

[Lord Wraith]

@King Kindred I pride myself on it!

And I don't see why you couldn't sneak a short post in.

[The Grey Warden]

Here is my character.

Static

| NAME |

Virgil Ovid Hawkins

| ALIAS |

Static

| ABILITIES/SKILLS/EQUIPMENT |

Powers
Bang Baby: Static's physiology was altered by a mutant-genetic explosion which caused him to adapt unusual powers. Static's body itself can generate raw electromagnetic energy, which he has learned to manipulate, control and enhance.

Super-Conductive Electromagnetism: Static can sense sources of electromagnetic energy or objects that can be affected by it such as underground water pipes. He can magnetize and demagnetize metals.

Electromagnetic Fields: Static generates an Electromagnetic field just like the earth and the sun generate their own Electromagnetic fields. Static can also create barriers and shields that he can use to block, repel, hold back attacks and defend himself in battle.

Electromagnetic Levitation: Static can cause objects to fly (metal is the easiest material to manipulate and wood is the most difficult).

Wavelength Tuning: Static can hear radio waves meaning he can listen in on the police broadband and music stations, as well as tapping into the phone lines so he can make calls.

Electrokinesis: Static can generate electricity from his body and administer it in a range of different attacks and uses. He can charge devices, drain devices and project his electricity in a variety of controlled ways.

Electrical Displays: Electromagnetic Light Displays that Static can shoot into the sky in the forms of pictures and words. With more power behind it, Static can make these into Electromagnetic Nets and/or Cage.

Electromagnetic Force Bolts: Static can fire Bursts of electromagnetic energy from his hands for uses like electrifying objects, administering large scale "Static Clings", generating shields and barriers.

Ball Lightning: Named after Ball Lightning, the weather phenomenon. Electromagnetic Energy compressed into a large ball and thrown at targets; an offensive maneuver in a combat situation.

Static Cling: Static can adhere most objects or people to surfaces and other objects, plus Static can magnetize surfaces.

Abilities
Science: Static is a highly gifted student with a particular interest in the maths and sciences. Static also possesses an almost fanboyish knowledge of comic books, role playing games, and science fiction.

Tactical Analysis: Static is able to apply his scientific knowledge in combat and real life situations and does so almost intuitively. This allows him a certain advantage over less clever opponents.

Multilingualism: Virgil has learned to speak German for unknown reasons and is fluent enough to carry on a simple conversation in the language.

Strength level
Static possesses the normal strength of a boy his age, height and build who engages in moderate regular exercise.

Transportation
Static Saucer: Static uses it to fly through the air.

Weapons
Static Traps: Normally, Static does not use any real weapons and mainly relies on his electromagnetic powers in battle. However, to defeat particularly formidable opponents, he will employ his "static traps," a well-planned use of his powers and everyday materials. These static traps were limited only by Static's creativity and the preparation time available.

| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES |

For unknown reasons, Static can be affected by electricity-wielding metahumans whose powers are derived from Quantum Juice. Hence, the electrostatic bolts generated by the mad doctor Byron Kilgore caused pain to Static, who is normally immune to the effects of high voltage electricity. Why this vulnerability exists is a mystery.

| NOTES |

None that I could think of right this second.

Sample Post

Holocaust was out on the streets of Dakota City again as the news highlighted him on the television. Static flew pass the people gathered around the television out a store on his saucer. Traveling as fast as he could, he saw Holocaust throwing an officer in his squad car. Then, he saw Static as he got back to ground level and got out of his saucer. Holocaust smiled at the sight of Static as he said, "Static. How are the wounds of our last battle doing?".

"Wounds." Static chuckles at Holocaust' comment, "I think that I got you lock up the last time as I shocked you, dude". Holocaust started to get upset as his fists were on fire now and said, "Shut up and show that you're a man! FIGHT ME.".

Static grinned at his request and said, "Fine, I will fight you. But, here's are some of my mixtapes!". He threw the hexagonal disks from his used to be saucer towards Holocaust, all three hitting him. "You little shit." Holocaust said as he saw Static running towards him with his staff. A single punch sent Static flying towards the ground with a burn mark on his face. "Got you." he grinned as he readies his punch, but Static rolled away before the punch hit the ground.

Static made a large ball of lighting and threw towards Holocaust as he felt the shock. He made an electromagnetic cage for Holocaust to think about his crimes. Realizing that he was trapped in the cage, Holocaust said towards Static, "I will kill you the next time that we meet.". Static just laugh the threat off as he waited for someone to get this guy.

[Lord Wraith]

@The Grey Warden Could you re-size the image down before throwing it in the character thread? Otherwise accepted, the sample is a little short but I've seen your work over in UDC so I have no concerns there.

EDIT: This also means we officially have our first Senior Titan returning.

Her childlike appearance and butchered English was exactly what he needed to get his hormones back in check.

@King Kindred

Ouch lol Poor Rhea.
