[OOC] Marvel: The Defenders

[Dirty Dan]

Throughout the years of humanity, villains have always been a plight on humanity. From Medea to Richard the Third and now to Doctor Octopus. True peace and equality has always been a thing of dreams, because of one thing; Injustice. Heroes have risen and fallen in the ever-going quest to fight crime and injustice, but it is a never-ending plague. Villains escape prisons, escape traps, and even escape death, in a constant cycle of chaos. It is past time to create a formidable defense against this eternal threat - to formulate a team, capable of defeating these threats. A team capable of defending this planet from the constant plague. A team that can fight for Earth, and protect the innocent citizens within. A team, like The Defenders.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has brought together young, powerful contenders to be the first organized, and official protectors of humanity. Extensive research has been slaved over to delve into each mind of the contenders, and endless work has went into making sure that this wouldn't be a one-shot failure. Millions of dollars of funds, given by the company itself, along with anonymous supporters and patrons, was put into this team. Some of the greatest minds in the nation have put their brains together to formulate the equipment and resources needed to build such an ambitious project. It was a cautious and incredibly large process, especially due to the fact that some of the contenders were very hard to get a hold to, and even a few were hostile. However, in the end, it was worth it. The Defenders were built, with their home base being held within New York City.

The Immortal Iron Fist

Name: Orson Randall
Alias: Iron Fist
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Powers:
Chi Augmentation: Through concentration, Orson can harness his mystical chi to augment his physical and mental capabilities to superhuman levels.

• Superhuman Strength - By summoning his chi and focusing it into his hand, he can draw upon the superhuman energy derived from the heart of the mystic serpent Shou-Lao and make his fist inhumanly powerful and super humanly resistant to injury and pain on a superhuman scale. This "iron fist" technique does not involve a physical transformation of any kind, simply a psychic channeling of concentrated natural energy. With his fist in this state, Orson can shatter wood and brick, rip through steel, and punch his opponents with extraordinary concussive force without sustaining injury to himself.
• Nervous System Control - Orson has complete control over his nervous system enabling him to deaden himself to pain, resist the effects of drugs or poisons, and slow down the rate at which he bleeds. He also is able pass lie detector tests.
• Heightened Awareness - Has the ability to detect a threat to his well-being in his immediate vicinity before they commit the action
• Enhanced Speed & Reflexes - He can increase his speed allowing him to dodge or catch bullets. Without the use of chi, he can run up to 35 mph
• Enhanced Durability - Orson can generate a chi-based "aura" radiating from his body to protect himself from energy based attacks to a varied degree, and make himself more resilient against physical damage

Skills:

• Master Martial Artist - Including but not limited to: Kunlunquan, Shaolinquan, Judo, Aikido, Ninjutsu, Karate, Boxing and even loose street fighting tactics
• Olympic level athlete and gymnast
• Trained in the use of almost all martial arts weapons
• Knows how to use small firearms such as pistols

Equipment:

• Various martial arts equipment - Usually has nunchucks and shuriken at his disposal

Personality: Orson is a cocky and energetic fighter, capable of dodging his opponent's attacks while simultaneously taunting them at the same time. Styling himself after his idol, Bruce Lee, Orson is quite prone to many yelps and howls when fighting along with practising a highly agile fighting style more akin to that of an amalgamation of both Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. Charismatic, Orson is often the chap to heighten the teams morale through jokes and pranks he plays. That being said, if he ever acts serious, then something is probably seriously wrong.
History:
Orson was born in New York, to a seemingly normal family with nothing out of the ordinary whatsoever. Of course, appearances are not always as they seem. His father, Wendell Randall had discovered the mythical realm of K'un-L'un as a child and had become the adoptive son of its ruler, Lord Tuan. He had left K'un-L'un in his early 20s, and become a wealthy entrepreneur before eventually marrying and making a family for himself.

Around the time that Orson was 9 his father began feeling nostalgic about K'un-L'un and organized an expedition to find the realm once more. The expedition took them all over the world, from Africa to the middle east and finally to Tibet. Whilst climbing a mountain in Tibet, a business associate by the name of Meachum murdered Wendell and made a run for the hills. Orson managed to get himself lost, and in the process of looking for his mother he stumbled upon a bridge that he swore was not there before. Suddenly, wolves jumped from the brush and were about to attack Orson before they were shot down by K'un-L'unian archers.

He was taken into K'un-L'un and after explaining who his father was it was decided that he'd train under Lei Kung, a wise old warrior who taught Orson everything he knows. He stuck with his training until the age of 19, when he was offered the chance to attain the power of the Iron Fist. He fought and defeated the dragon, Shou-Lou before tearing out his heart and absorbing the power of the Iron Fist and simultaneously receiving the large dragon scar he bears on his chest to this day.

He left K'un-L'un seeking revenge for his father, and went in search of Meachum in his hometown of New York. He eventually did find, Meachum, strapped into an iron lung after the events on the mountain took a turn for the worse for him. Orson took pity on Meachum, but also saw this fate as worse than that of death. He turned his attention to heroing, and was soon contacted by S.H.I.E.L.D to join the defenders.

Could I be allowed to join?

[OneWayOut]

Woah what is this now? I want in.

[Dirty Dan]

Aye yo, welcome both of you. What characters did you have in minderino?

[OneWayOut]

Aye yo, welcome both of you. What characters did you have in minderino?

@Dirty Dan

Well you know me, I already have a character in the works. She's a healer.

[Carlsberg]

Can we make OC's? If so, I'll make one. If not probably black widow or Karolina Dean.

[Dirty Dan]

Looking forward to her, OneWayOut.

Yes, OCs are accepted, but we'd like for them to be kept at a minimum.

[Carlsberg]

Ok, I'll just go with Karolina then.

Character Sheet

In Costume Outfit

| NAME: |

-Valtina 'Val' Noelani

| ALIAS: |

-Morphine

| AGE: |

-20

| GENDER: |

-Female

| ABILITIES/SKILLS/EQUIPMENT: |

• Spontaneous Regeneration: Valtina has the capabilities of rapidly healing herself and others. Her body does this automatically, without her doing anything. If she is wounded or injured, she can recreate lost or damaged tissues, organs and limbs, also slowing her body's natural aging process and increasing her life span. The rate and amount of healing varies depending on the injury. It can take her a few seconds to recover from a stab or a gunshot wound, but up to an hour to regrow lost limbs or such unless she reattaches it and the tissues connect from there. This also applies when she heals others and is accomplished by speeding up the rate at which the person's cells divide.
• Limited Self Sustenance: Due to her powers, Valtina has a reduced need for things regular people require daily in order to survive. She requires things like food, water, sleep and oxygen intake much less than others and can go on for months with limited access to these necessities.
• Disease/Contaminant Immunity: Valtina's immune, digestive, and other organ systems are enhanced far beyond a normal humans due to her power. Because of this she is essentially 'immune' to any disease caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Her body's advanced healing capabilities grants her the power to neutralize all existing detrimental contaminants in her body.
• Pain Suppression: This gives Valtina the ability to neutralize someone's sensitivity to pain, making them unable to feel it for a short period of time. This ability being how she got her Alias as Morphine.
• Knowledge of Human Anatomy and Physiology: Valtina knows how the body works... extensively. Perhaps more than she should for her age, but with curiosity as a driving force, she has acquired a wealth of knowledge about the different systems of the body, remedies for nearly everything, and how to help people suffering from different injuries. She can somehow sense the quality of health someone has just by looking at them.
• Combat Skills: Valtina has no advanced combat skills. She knows basic self defence fighting techniques and is capable of shooting a gun. Other than that, she has no additional enhanced strength or stamina abilities.
• Tools/Weapons: When going out, Valtina typically wears an all black outfit when out in the field. (Image shown under appearance image.) Strapped to her belt is a black pouch filled with medical supplies like needles, bandages, ointment, etc. so she can easily reach back and grab what she needs. and the heavy sack is typically hidden by the long coat she wears. She typically has 2 guns hidden on her person and pair of diamond studded brass knuckles.

Invisible Woman

Name: Sue Storm

Alias: The Invisible Woman

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Power(s): Sue has the ability to turn invisible (she IS named the Invisible woman after all). She also has the ability to turn other people and things invisible too. She does this by mentally bending all wavelengths of light in the vicinity around herself or the target in question. Sue also has the ability to generate a psionic force field barriers to protect herself and others. She can form this in a variety of ways from defensive orbs to physical projectiles. By forming one of her force fields within an object and expanding the field, Sue can cause her target to explode. By forming her force field around objects, Sue can make it appear as if she is using telekinesis. Due to this nature, she also has the ability to fly (though she does so by forming her force field around herself and moving it.)

Skills: Sue is competent in hand-to-hand combat and is a natural born leader, being quite charismatic. Sue is also incredibly smart, excelling in subjects like science and astronomy. Although she doesn't consider it a skill, Sue is a very good looking young woman and this comes in handy when she wants something done.

Equipment: Sue is interested in the sciences and has her research appliances at the base. This includes different science equipment for chemistry and biology (microscopes, chemicals, etc.). She also has a telescope to research space.

Personality: Sue is very kind-hearted and loyal to her team, acting as a "leader" of sorts when the team needs it. She considers her team like her family. When pushed to extreme limits, Sue has a wicked temper, influencing her powers and causing her to become out of control, only calming her down can stop her (this is rare).

History: WIP

[FantasyChic]

I left history open because I don't know if we'll get someone who wants to be part of the original Fantastic 4, such as the Human Torch. If no one does, I'll make her history.

[Dirty Dan]

Makes sense. Feel free to put her in the Character Thread.

Character Sheet



Name: Samuel Wilson
Alias: Falcon
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Power(s): Telepathic Link - Sam was given the ability to telepathically link with birds endowed by the Red Skull using the Cosmic Cube. This link is strongest with his companion Redwing but he is also able to extend his empathic link to other birds making it possible for him to see through their eyes. He has also shown the ability to control birds. These abilities apply to the entirety of birds.
Skills: Martial Artist- Sam has in-training by the Seals Corps in multiple martial arts making him a dangerous combatant.
Acrobat- Sam's training in gymnastics since his early childhood has given him exceptional balance and agility.
Aerialist- Sam has an uncanny presence and capability in air-to-air combat due to his familiarity with his flying gear and paratrooper mission.
Equipment: The Exo-7 Falcon is a jet pack with retractable wings. It provides a lightweight and highly versatile alternative to parachutes in combat environments and was used by Paratroopers in the Air Force. Although designed for a single operator, the Exo-7 Falcon provides enough thrust to support the weight of two men for a brief period of time. It is equipped with a tightly packed backup parachute that can be manually deployed in the event of a system failure with the jetpack and wing assembly.
Personality: Sam's personality is an extension of his inexperience. He is a jittery, extremely self-conscious, and oblivious (although an adept) young superhero who longs to fit in with the team. This is reflected both as a superhero and as a SEAL due to being fast-tracked in both divisions. Set on making a good impression, Sam will go out of his way to elicit positive responses from others on the team, sometimes overreaching to his own detriment. He can occasionally lose focus when impressed by something, but can regain his concentration when corrected. For all his inexperience, Falcon is enthusiastic and determined to make up for his ignorance.
History: Sam Wilson was a young boy training in gymnastics with olympic glory in mind. During one of Hydra's various sleeper-cell projects over the decades, Sam was kidnapped and hijacked by Hydra, who used him as a human guinea pig for experimentation as well as training in armed and unarmed combat. From the age of 13 Sam was subject to Hydra manipulation, but was saved two years later by an early incarnation of SHIELD that deprogrammed him. Wanting to keep tabs on him moving forward, Shield approached Sam with an opportunity to "serve his country" and put his unwilling training and gymnastic skills to patriotic use. They enrolled same into the United States Air Force academy to become a pararescueman, fast tracking him onto a special regime to test the Exo-7 Falcon jet packs and revolutionize the Pararescue division.
