[OOC] The Superhuman Crusade & Alliance Revolution (S.C.A.R.)

[Zelosse]

Well I'd like to throw my hat in the ring and join this :D You got room for a Juggernaut (X-men) kind of powerhouse character? Toned down of course :D

@Kingdoml1

Well considering my character is literally a sentient blob of water I dont truly think there is a problem with a juggernaut style character.
Though maybe not as invincible as said guy..

[Scoundrel]

@Legion02I love how simple yet detailed Zero's powers are explained. He's accepted and you can post him at the character tab. ^^

[FantasyChic]

@Scoundrel

I like the idea of Lloyd meeting her and finding out about her powers. Perhaps he saw her use her powers when she thought she was being anonymous about it and he sought her out, finding her on stage during one of her performances?

[Scoundrel]

@FantasyChicThat will work and then maybe upon uncovering her potential, Lloyd persuaded her to be a part of his organization which she's oblivious of from the start. Well, through some thoughtful persuasion, let's say things have somehow managed to go through and she agreed, only realizing thereafter that she'll be associating herself with a far more classified group of people and Lloyd's identity is far from being just a lawyer who sits all day in his office. It's really up to you on how you want to establish these connections. ^^

[FantasyChic]

@Scoundrel

That sounds doable. Shall I amend that in my sheet or are we going to roleplay that into the story?

[Scoundrel]

@FantasyChicYou can but if we rp that IC, then your character will miss out all the action or basically, wont -at most- be a part of the first arc. (but if it's okay for you to not be a part of it, then I don't mind RPing Lloyd's encounter with Victoria IC) So we may put it into consideration that it has been established and Victoria is already a member of S.C.A.R.

[FantasyChic]

@Scoundrel

All right, we can say she's already a member of S.C.A.R. If that's all that was needed I can add that to her story.

[Scoundrel]

@FantasyChicSo far, that's the only thing that needs to be taken care of. You can go ahead and post her to the character tab once you've finished editing her CS. ^^

[Zelosse]

So methinks now we have enough players to get the ball movin'

[Kingdoml1]

@Zelosse@Scoundrel Well here is my application ;D I'll be happy to make changes wherever needed. Also I can't come up with a cool Alias so help here would be appreciated.

Harri Van Helle

Big Bubba

Full name

Harri Van Helle

Age

23

Gender

Male

Physical appearance

Due to his power his size is increased beyond the human average. Standing at 8 feet tall and weighing 500 pounds makes this soldier hard to miss out on the battlefield. His general appearance is simply put powerful. A presence in any room, not only due to his general size, but also his muscular build, not in a body building sense, but raw strength.

His eyes are green, but do change to a hint of blue when he is feeling upset in a sad sense. He prefers to have his dark brown hair short, but his beard he keeps at a good 2 finger (average human finger width applies) length.

Personality

Harri has never been the brightest in the bunch and time and again it has shown. He got through the early years of school by pure athletic skill and flunked every other subject. He might not be smart, but that is what friends are for. A more loyal friend is hard to come by. Even as he might be a numbskull, moron, stupid, dumb, etc. he values his friends and realizes eventually when he is being used for his powers and not appreciated for his friendship.

At quick judgement all people see is a dimwitted mass of muscles walking around, but sometimes he has been known to show great insight in matters of ethical or moral questions. Most likely due to his simple way thinking, but noone knows for sure if he is hiding a great mind behind the simpleton act or if he just gets lucky from time to time.

Biography/Background history

From a young age Harri has shown superhuman abilities which his parents tried to hide as long as they could. Being from a fairly poor,but hard working family it wasn't easy. He was first home schooled, but after realizing that his mother could possibly not teach a mentally handicapped son, they had to put him with the others. His parents did their best to tell the school enough so that Harri could get away from distractions in a normal classroom and get some sort of special treatment. Before his teen years it worked out well enough.

The schools funding had been cut so no more special classes and even some of the regular classes had to be put together in order to be able to teach all the students. Harri was in school for 2 days in that new arrangement. A classmate had made remarks about his intelligence and rudely asked if "Mr. Meatbag" would sit on him if he didn't stop. One punch and the classmate had tasted the wall, just before his untimely death.

It didn't help that peace had just been restored between the superhumans and regulars when the incident happened, but the media claimed that Harri had been a part of a " rouge faction" that had sprung from S.C.A.R, who were training teens to make an army of super soldiers. Of course none of it was true, but the people needed to hear that. That even the smallest groups were now destroyed from their midst.

So at the age of 12 he was taken away from his parents and brought to a mental institution. He spent 7 years in there, but not even he knows for sure what had happened during that time. He was brought to ORB when he came of age, but due to the nature of his power, he was unable to do much in his time there. The Joedthaven had unexpecting results since Harri's power goes hand in hand with his physique, it restrained him completely and he had to be taken care of by the staff.

Powers

Supernatural Strength. There is no explanation yet to where his powers come from or how they manifested, but it is for certain that he was born that way. His power is as natural to him as the skin on regular people.

Harri is by no means all powerful, but he is able to lift a buss or a heavy truck even. His power has strenghtened everything about him so he is able to contain that power within his body and he cannot accidentally hurt himself by using too much of it.

Weaknesses

Harri's power most likely has hindered his intelligence as he is very simple. He is easily distracted and is prone to go off in a blind rage, destroying whatever comes in his way, if he is not kept in focus. A wild card out in the battlefield, to say the least, and potentially a danger for his own team.

Harri has been contained in some sort of government facility since the age of 12, so Harri has not been able to exercise in general. This leads to his poor condition (considering him) and results in him tiring out quickly when he uses his powers for great feats..

Miscellaneous information

Harri is very afraid of snakes.

@Dirty Dan

I think you guys got it! Big Bubba it is! :D

[Scoundrel]

@Kingdoml1Big Bubba is accepted, go ahead and post him to the character tab.

@ZelosseWe'll wait for the few people who haven't submitted a CS yet but were working on it. Then again, we wont start until Thursday, so we can just sit in a campfire and melt some marshies in the mean time.

[Zelosse]

@Kingdoml1 What about Simple Steve.

[Veridis Quo]

Here's my CS, it's a work in progress but most of it is done:

*Pics and Alias coming soon, maybe*

Full name

Luke Evans

Age.

16

Gender

Male

Physical appearance

There’s not much that stands out about Luke. He has an average build and height, and tends to wear long-sleeved shirts and jeans. With messy brown hair, he gives off a lazy look.

Personality
At first glance, Luke seems like a pretty boring kid. He doesn’t do a whole lot with his free time, and has no ambition to do anything with his life. But he is pretty friendly, and tries to see the best in everyone, no matter who they are. Beneath his low-energy and carefree attitude, Luke is a very selfless individual. He’s willing to go to great lengths to help others, even if his help is not asked for. He can throw himself in harm’s way at the drop of a hat just to make sure that someone else gets to be safe. While he usually doesn’t stand up for himself, he can get pretty serious and heated when it comes to standing up for others.


Even though he knows it wasn’t his fault, Luke holds himself somewhat responsible for killing his mother. In order to distance himself from the demon within him, he attempts to be the best person he can be. Even if it means recklessly endangering his life for others.

Biography/Background history
Luke’s mother, Mary Evans, had runaway from home in her teens. She was already on the road for over a year when she got pregnant, and the father left the picture almost instantly upon hearing the news. With little money and no one to turn to, she tried to abort the baby multiple times, but failed. When Luke was born, she thought that either the baby’s survival was a blessing, or a sign that it was cursed.

Unable to take his life, Mary tried to abandon Luke numerous times, but she failed over and over again. She tried to leave it in a park, but a stranger helped bring Luke back to Mary. She left it in a mall, and a security guard brought him back to her. Finally, when Luke was 9, Mary left Luke in a graveyard, and told him to stay there until the sun went down. A day later, Luke had found his way back to her, all on her own.

This caused Mary to have a breakdown. Convinced that the baby really was cursed, she turned to the occult. A few years later, in a desperate attempt, she settled on exorcizing Luke herself, even though Luke had acted like a normal kid in his whole life (aside from surviving multiple abortion attempts and always finding his way back to his mother).

It’s impossible to say what went wrong with the ritual. Maybe Mary had drawn one of the sigils with a crooked line instead of a straight one, maybe the red candles were unevenly spaced, or maybe she mispronounced a part of the incantations. Whatever it was, the ritual backfired, and the effects were disastrous. A demon took control of Luke, and twisted his body into a ghoulish figure. It tore Mary into ribbons, clawing her into bits with vicious abandon. When it was done with her, it lit the house on fire, and got outside.

Perhaps it had been there all along, and the poorly executed ritual had merely awakened it. Or perhaps the ritual had been performed so badly, that it had invited a demon into Luke’s body. Even Luke didn’t know what the truth was. To this day, he still doesn’t know.

Luke woke up on the streets shortly after, before the firefighters had even shown up. He was back to his human form now, but he felt sick. He remembered everything, even tearing his own mother apart with his claw-like hands, but he hadn’t been able to control an inch of his body at that time.

When the officials arrived, Luke turned himself in and told them everything that had happened. No one believed his story, but the blood on his clothes at least confirmed that he had killed his mother. The police thought that he was just a troubled kid who had attacked his mother and burned the house. He was thrown into a juvenile detention centre for a few years, a school for minors like him. Luke accepted this. To him, it was necessary for him to be locked up. He may not have been responsible for killing his mother, but he was dangerous.

A few years later, he got moved to a much bigger prison with “superhumans”. It seemed that someone bought his story after all, and realized that he needed to be held in a much stronger cell.

Now, Luke is 16 years old, and has made up his mind. The past 6 years of his life was spent meditating and communing with demons and the dead. He feels confident that he can control his powers. Luke is confident enough that maybe, he can use his curse to help others.

Powers

Although he can not perform any occult magic, Luke can summon demons. Every time a demon is beckoned into reality, it asks for a price (a sacrifice). Usually, Luke will stab himself in the hand and offer his blood, and that will satisfy lesser demons. To summon truly powerful demons, a much greater sacrifice may be needed. Aside from talking to demons, Luke can also commune with the dead.

In dire cases, Luke’s body will turn into that of a fiend. He will turn into a very tall and slender looking figure, with a sickly pale complexion and long claws. Strength, speed, and cunning are the traits of this ghoulish predator. In this form, Luke’s “body” is no longer his own, but is under the control of the demon within him. While it is capable of making intelligent decisions, the fiend is hostile towards all.

Weaknesses
Luke is nothing special in his human form, and he’s not willing to turn into his fiend form unless no other options are available. All of his summoning abilities come with a price that he has to pay, and the price climbs according to the power of the entity he is summoning.

Killing is an absolute last resort for him. His kindness can also be taken advantage of if one were so inclined.

Miscellaneous information

Since he usually stabs his left hand to summon a demon, Luke wears bandages over it to cover all of the wounds.

[Veridis Quo]

No clue why, but my formatting tags are not working. Some of the indentation is fine, but other ones are just not working no matter how many times I try to fix them haha.

[FantasyChic]

I updated my sheet. IF I need to redo it again, let me know.

[Scoundrel]

@FantasyChicExcellento! She's accepted. Put her in the character tab, as you may please.^^

@Veridis QuoTry double checking them, it may be a really small detail that you're missing out or a symbol which isn't a part of the code. Pretty sure that the CS code I've provided works perfectly fine. Also, just make sure the indentation code is perfectly in order. Like for example the header is already indented but you want to add more indent to the content.

header

code

[indent]header

[indent]Content[/indent][/indent]

hope that helps.

EDIT: So we're nearing the target number of players or perhaps, we've already reached it. Apart from Veridis, I'm still giving room for one more player to join and then we can put all applications to a temporary close.

[Zelosse]

@Veridis Quo Ok so to me, demonic summoning falls straight into full on magic ability and not superhuman. Not to mention all that stuff happening would warp you psychologically forever because demons are generally described as extremely violent and uncaring.
Hearing those voices at all times would drive you bonkers.

So how about demonic metamorphosis instead? No demon summoning or talking to the dead/demons but you DO get their horrible traits. Fangs, eyes, grotesque wings, long scaly arms with rending claws, hunched back with goat legs, etc.
