PARTY PARTY PARTY

[TheUnknowable]

Anarchy

Alias: Anarchy
Real name: John Carmichael
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Appearance:
His armor and weapon were taken from a military base in South America while he was working with the freedom fighters there. When incognito he wears a t-shirt and blue jeans, sometimes with an unbuttoned button-up shirt. He is 5'10" tall and weighs 200 lbs, with a well-muscled build. Blue eyes. He has a scar on his left cheek from a fight against the Dictator in which he learned that the Dictator was a Super too. He usually has at least a bit of stubble on his chin, as he rarely has time to shave.

Personality: Absolutely hates bullies and anyone who would force others to do things "their way" without a moral reason. That said, he is always willing to help people in trouble, and to help people free themselves from oppression and the chains put on them by others, both mental and physical. While he rarely interacts with others aside from leading them, when he does interact with others as friends or equals he is understanding and kind. With his lieutenants he is a bit serious, but will laugh at a good joke, especially a practical joke.

Short Biography: When he was a teenager he learned about all of the problems around the world that were caused by people forcing their rules on other people. He got involved in protests against the police and government policies, hoping that peaceful protest would get their attention. At one of demonstrations, however, things turned violent and the police sent out the riot squad to disperse them. When a group of protesters drew weapons and started shooting at the police a firefight broke out. He was hit in the head by a bullet and spent the next week in the hospital undergoing stem cell treatments to repair the damage. He couldn't move or speak for the next week, but he could listen and watch. After a few days he found that he could move slightly, though the doctors said that his motor cortex wasn't repaired enough yet, and that he should be a paraplegic. They chalked it up to a medical miracle, and, when his recovery was complete, he started his rehab. He found that he could do almost everything they wanted him to without as much practice as they thought he would need. In time, he even surpassed what he could do before the accident, reacting to stimuli faster and able to lift more weight than his muscle mass should allow him to.

Powers, Skills & Equipment: "Free your mind": Technically a form of telekinesis, he is able to defy some of the more obvious laws of physics, giving him increased strength, durability, speed, stamina, and reaction speed. With enough concentration he can also fly. This power was mostly covered in the movie "The Matrix," which he thinks may have been influenced by him.
"Break chains": A form of telepahy, he is able to free others from limits of a mental nature, including the results of abuse and trauma. This also covers the mental limits most Supers place on their own power use out of fear of their powers or how society will react to them. He doesn't trust most Supers, though, as many act like they are superior because they have powers.
Escape artist, contortionist, lock picking, hacking (though not decrypting what he finds), MMA focused around dodging, redirecting and looking for weaknesses instead of direct assault.

Weakness: He craves support. If he thinks the people have turned against him, he will lose the will to fight for them. Also, his augmentations are based on his level of concentration. If you can distract him it will weaken him.

When he was a teenager he learned about all of the problems around the world that were caused by people forcing their rules on other people. He got involved in protests against the police and government policies, hoping that peaceful protest would get their attention. At one of demonstrations, however, things turned violent and the police sent out the riot squad to disperse them. When a group of protesters drew weapons and started shooting at the police a firefight broke out. He was hit in the head by a bullet and spent the next week in the hospital undergoing stem cell treatments to repair the damage. He couldn't move or speak for the next week, but he could listen and watch. After a few days he found that he could move slightly, though the doctors said that his motor cortex wasn't repaired enough yet, and that he should be a paraplegic. They chalked it up to a medical miracle, and, when his recovery was complete, he started his rehab. He found that he could do almost everything they wanted him to without as much practice as they thought he would need. In time, he even surpassed what he could do before the accident, reacting to stimuli faster and able to lift more weight than his muscle mass should allow him to.
While in rehab he met a man from a country in South America that was run by a dictator. They talked about all of the problems with the country which such a dictatorship caused and, when he was finished with the rehab, he decided to go down there to join the resistance. He traveled there as an American tourist and soon found himself captured by the rebels who hoped to ransom him back to his government for money to fund their rebellion. he explained to them that he had come here to help them and, when they dismissed it as the ramblings of a frightened hostage, he broke the ropes they tied him up with and disarmed anyone who attacked him. He told them that he was a Superhero, there to help free their people from tyranny, and many of them decided to follow him. He made a few rules for his group, including not taking hostages unless they were in the regime and only attacking government targets, and soon he lead his group to the top of the rebellion, hitting military bases and government offices to help the people. They even freed members of other cells from police custody and most of them joined their ranks as well.
One of the rebels they freed was a woman with the somewhat comical name of Maria Garcia. She was also a Super but, when the government found out, they killed her family in the effort to capture her. She only had her photosynthesis left, as she blamed the others for the death of her family. John talked with her and they became friends. She became one of his lieutenants and lead troops in several raids. One day, however, after they had spent hours talking about her family, she leaned over and hugged him, and soon started to glow. It was then that they discovered he could cure trauma and, because of that, could help Supers recover their suppressed powers. He also helped treat psychological problems within his men, earning even more respect. With her powers restored, Maria spent the next few years leading many more attacks, and John eventually promoted her to being his second in command.
After a raid against a government records office they found records which showed that a US Senator was helping the Dictator monetarily. As the one with the most knowledge of the US, John decided to go back and find this Senator, to bring him and anyone else who was helping oppress these people to justice.

Fun facts: He speaks Spanish, which you'd assume given that he spend eight years in South America. His favorite food is snake meat. Also, he meditates every night.

And if I can have a second character:

Solaris: also WIP

Alias: Solaris
Real name: Maria Garcia
Age: 25
Gender: Female

Appearance: (Write a paragraph here regardless if you have a picture or not. Oil paintings are encouraged)

Personality: Wants to free her people from the tyrannical government which controls her country, and will do whatever it takes, short or violating her principles, to do it.

Short Biography: (Put a paragraph-long origin story here. If it was for Spiderman, it would explain how Peter Parker was a student bitten by a mutated spider, gaining several enhancements from it, and how he decided to become a hero when his uncle was murdered. Not how his complicated romance with Mary Jane strengthened his conviction)

Powers, Skills & Equipment: Living light: Can become a living "mass" of light and move. Has to retake human form quickly, though, as it wears her out and overuse will injure her.
Photosynthesis: can absorb any light that hits her, though she lets some of it reflect so that she can be seen.
Laser blasts: Beams from her hands.
Capoeira: It's a martial arts and dance form.

Weakness: Corrupt politician. If she sees them, she won't hesitate to make them pay for hurting others.

Full Biography: (Put this in a hider. Go wild, write a novel. I'll be taking 40% of the revenue.)

Fun facts: (What would a curious person like to know about your character? Does he like spaghetti? What are his thoughts on the current economical state of China? Favorite color?)

[Hansa]

I'm sorry I have to keep things short and sweet, but I'm in the middle of my exam period right now.

@TheUnknowable You can not have a second character. This has been a rule throughout this OOC.

@Sep You can only make one character, but making a group IC is possible.

@mifune Your CS needs a lot of work, it's not at the standard we expect in this RP. I don't even know where to start, check the accepted characters so you know what you'll have to throw together. Also, keep in mind that we will expect full paragraphs every post on an average literary level. Be sure you can handle that before joining.

[Mr_pink]

Good luck with your exams, Hansa!

[Sep]

Will post an app up tomorrow, hopefully.

[Mr_pink]

Check your PM's, Hansa.

[Defacto]

Good luck with your exams, @Hansa.

If you didn't saw, I redid the sheet by "improving" the history and consequently changing her name.

@Hansa Good luck with your exams. I know the feel. I have one on Monday and then Fall Semester starts on Tuesday. Fun stuff.

[Defacto]

What's wrong with your colleges? :P

[HylianRose]

@Defacto What do you mean? I took a summer class.

Edit: That avatar made me snort my water... Jesus Christ...

[LHG100]

Kids these days snort WATER? Back in my day to get even a little high you had to smoke mary jane, do the dew, and snort some rocks all at once.

Edit: And not actual cocaine. I meant ROCKS. DIRT.

And by 'mary jane' I meant spider man comic books.

[TheUnknowable]

I finished my CS, I think. Just tell me if there are any problems and I'll fix them.

[Defacto]

@HylianRose I'm in the second week of class [semester system/term]. I guess you're in another term then.

[HylianRose]

@Defacto School starts Tuesday, so I wouldn't call that a second term. I had my 'summer' term and now I'm moving into Fall term.
