Awesome! I will get to work on my sheet then, soon as I find some cool powers for her to posess.

[Camerch]

Right. I got a character going right now, but I'm looking for a good image to use. Also, still haven't considered powers, but I'm getting there.

[jordy0403]

Well, if you use imgur you don't publicly upload it. People mostly use imgur to host an image so they can use it on forums, because sometimes certain websites don't work. You could also just give credit to the creator if you want to.

The size isn't really a problem, you can just put it in a hider if you have to

@RoflsMazoy

Eh, I think the image I've got now is better anyway. Any changes needed in the actual CS?

@jordy0403

Nah, it's fine. I did the cast list so you can go ahead and put your cs in the character tab, and yours too @BlackPanther

@RoflsMazoy
Awesome.

"Calm down and sip some of your coffee."

Name:
Sean Nanners

Age:
25

Occupation:
Detective of the Free world Group, has full approval to appoint himself a partner even if said partner has a criminal record.

Bio:
Sean was a big shot detective to begin with. Though before the meteor struck he had a reputation of being to lazy, calm or laid back in serious situations which he still is. Like many workers under the Free World Group the sudden change due to the meteor didn't effect as much as the rest of the world. Well in comparison no but it did effect how the organization handled their work. Sean discovering his new found abilities continued in his career field aiming to take down the illegal big shots and unjust industries that were born in result of the horrid meteor.

Powers:
Gravity Manipulation
Sean can change an objects gravity to make it slower or faster, even change its direction of movement by causing its center of gravity to change. This only works if he can see the object he's manipulating the gravity of. Sean can also shift his gravity doing the same to himself as he can to other objects.

Flight
The manipulation of gravity has also unlocked the ability to fly. Sean rarely uses his flying skill but oftens floats or levitates unconsciously.

Looks good, please put him in the character tab

Name: Thomas Breaker

Age: 30

Occupation: Free World Group Spy

Bio: Breaker used to work for an information broker company, stealing and trading corporate secrets to anyone who would pay. Sending Breaker on a mission was often a risk/reward as he would bring home the juiciest dirt, but was more likely to set off an alarm due to his overconfidence. Despite this, he has a strange knack for getting out of bad situations unscathed. When the meteor hit and his company got swallowed up by the Free World Group, he was put in the corp's stealth and infiltration division. Although he still wishes that the corps would all collapse and the people will rise up and stuff, he recognizes that he has no choice but to comply with his overlord boss in his current position. Besides that, the FWG offered him some really fancy gear that his old company would never be able to afford, so it's not all bad.

Powers: None

Gear/Augments:

• Hacking PDA: Can connect to electronic devices of any kind, either wirelessly or with an Omni-cable. Stores 10 terabytes of data. Contains various programs that can bypass security systems, manipulate information and whatever other mission-specific programs he needs.
• Invisibility cloak: Black suit that covers the entire body. When activated, bends 90% of light around the user and makes it difficult for observers to focus on it.
• Bionic Leg: Improves running speed. A memento from that one mission with the armory.
• Noisemaker: Small device that looks like a button panel. Can be mounted on any flat surface. Makes a wide array of noises for distraction.
• Handheld Taser: Heavily modded to completely knock out the target for up to 30 minutes.

[FantasyChic]

Whelp now I need a new character...

[BlackPanther]

@FantasyChic
or your character could be a hacker for a different corporation *tosses idea*

[FantasyChic]

I don't like having similar character concepts though. It makes the game boring to me, plus I would have picked similar powers. I'll toss around some other ideas, it's not like I claimed the concept

[Slendy]

@FantasyChic
ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ BP is right you can be a hacker for the government, for the little detective thing I'm doing or just a world renounced hacker with a huge bounty on your head because of your pervious hacking break throughs! The sky's the limit!

[Camerch]

@FantasyChic

If it's any help, my character is more of a spy/thief than a hacker. It's just that I thought having a device that can hack would be important for sneaking into high-tech places

[RoflsMazoy]

@FantasyChic
Yeah, you could be a freelancer. You could also just be better at hacking than anyone else

your character

@Camerch

Looks good enough to me, but you should probably know not many viruses could act fast enough to help gain access to a system within the time you would use a PDA for hacking for. The ones that you could use to access a system would be a Trojan, Adware or maybe a Worm which all require some time to use. There might be something in the future but you might want to specify when you post about hacking.

Other than that it's fine

[Letter Bee]

@RoflsMazoy! Glad to see ya! You free today, then?

So joining this.

[BlackPanther]

all these characters are looking awesome :D I'm so stoked

@RoflsMazoy

Name: Mikhail Peacemaker

Age: 14

Appearance:


Power:“In fearful day, in raging night,
With strong hearts full, our souls ignite,
When all seems lost in the War of Light,
Look to the stars-- For hope burns bright!”

Hope Materialization - Mikhail can sense and transform Hope, either his hope or that of others', into energy, which in turn can be made into constructs, force-fields, anti-gravity, and heal people. Basically, a Blue Lantern Ring* without the need for a Green Lantern one.

However, this power has a big drawback. Mikhail's powers are dependent on how much hope is in the area, and his own ability to be hopeful is failing. That means that he has to depend on other people to have hope, which does not always work. Thus, psychological warfare, as well as taking out any companions or bodyguards he has, is an effective tactic against him.

*greenlantern.wikia.com/wiki/Blue_Lante..

Personality: Mikhail tries to be hopeful, he really does. But getting kindapped, deliberately traumatized until he had powers, then being sold to various private interests as a living weapon, and after that, escaping, sometimes it wears down on a person, and sometimes, it's just too much. And there is the fact that he is literally a freak, someone thrown out of the continuum that is Humanity. At the same time, the kid still has an iron-clad conviction that peace is still possible, that the bonds of sapience, aka the fact that both Human and Powered can feel love, hope, trust, and plan for the future, can still overcome even the glaring differences that now exist. Yes, it's insane, yes, it goes against cold logic. But he will still believe it, because he will not forsake a thinking being, regardless of whether they have powers or not.

"My beliefs are the last reminder I have of my parents. Everything else from them but memory has been taken away from me."

Bio: Mikhail was the son of second-generation Russian Immigrants, fans of JRR Tolkien, whose own parents had fled to America to evade debts from the Russian Mafiya (yes, that's the spelling). Thus, Mikhail was raised by both his parents and members of the local Tolkien Society, and had a childhood immersed in works of High Fantasy, as well as normal schooling, which he excelled in.

Then, one day, the Mafiya's enforcers found the little home the family were staying in, and killed Mikhail's family; just because they were a generation removed from the original debtors didn't mean that they were shielded from the wrath of Organized Crime, and Mikhail himself was taken as 'collateral' for the remaining debt, and sold to DemeterBioTech, a Corporation that was secretly experimenting on people to induce powers in them.

Knowing that trauma can induce powers, the Corporation in their secret laboratories slowly began torturing Mikhail, upping the ante every half-day. Mikhail felt miserable, hurt, but at the same time, hopeful that he would be rescued, that some hero or heroine would come to save him. And, just when the torturers were about to cap the torment by subjecting him to the 'ultimate defilement'...a group of police officers burst in and 'arrested' the torturers. This caused Mikhail to manifest his ability: Hope Materilization.

He was glad! He was safe! Wait, why were the 'police' drawing a cattle prod on him -

When he woke up, he was still in the laboratories, but in a more secure facility, one with reinforced concrete walls and kevlar padding, and he had a shock-explosive collar on his neck. And he knew this, that he hadn't actually escaped. After he was given time to weep, he was forcibly brought out, along with several other children who had manifested powers through trauma, and told that they were now property of DemeterBioTech, living weapons to be trained, bought, and sold to the highest bidder. And that was what happened, with the handlers using every psychological trick they had to keep the kids cowed and under control as they were trained to be, and used as, assassins.

Mikhail spent one year in that life, and he hated it. Not merely that, but he was only able to access his powers in the presence of other people who had hope, as he had none himself in that time. He can barely function, he can barely do anything, and he wanted to die so badly. But he didn't, because just before he decided to do that, the uprising started.

It turned out, several of the kids had managed to hack the shock collars, or just destroy them, then rebel against their captors. Mikhail, feeling hope for the first time since his rescue, joined the rebels, managing to carve a hole through the holding area they were in, and escape to the streets.

Many of them would be hunted down, or starve, or die in other ways, but Mikhail and a few of the remaining kids would find refuge in the estate of one Augusta E. Feather, a rich old woman who had the power of manipulating probability. In said estate, Mikhail and his companions would recover, and the boy would find hope again...especially as DemeterBioTech would find itself shut down by the Government.

Now, Mikhail, as the adopted son of Augusta Feather, would look at the recent news...and know that his days of fear would be returning again.

Only this time...he was ready.

Equipment: Backpack containing Pepper Spray, Food, Water, a copy of Lord of the Rings, an iPod with hopeful music, binoculars, and a swiss army knife.

[FantasyChic]

Fair enough, I'll stick with it, but I'm gonna be the supreme hacker then.

[Camerch]

@RoflsMazoy

Gotcha. Character is edited to be a little more specific about the PDA.

[Letter Bee]

So, what do you guys think of Mikhail?
