Accepted.

@Weird Tales

Look, dude, you've been a pessimist this whole time, since the interest check. Just because I don't post as often as some of you doesn't mean it's dead.

[Yvain]

@DocTachyonSorry, I've been busy. As of now I admit though, I'm free but literally lacking motivation to begin the CS. I do have an outline of the character in a doc, Just haven't formatted it properly to fill in the CS correctly.

@DocTachyon

Perhaps that's just his way of saying "Are we gonna do this or what?"

You don't need to post often, honestly. We just need the GM (you) to get us started. We're ready and waiting to go! This is isabel good problem to have, it means people are interested in this RP.

@TheWinchester4

I'll get the IC started up tomorrow.

[KaiserElectric]

@DocTachyon For the record, I have no issues with the speed this is taking to get started, and I don't want my comment earlier to be misconstrued as such.

It wasn't that you aren't posting, it's just that no one at all is posting and I didn't see any players in the forum.

@Weird Tales
Chill, if there's nobody posting in less than a day or even a couple of days, it doesn't mean the RP'S dying. Not everyone can be on 24/7. ;)

@DocTachyon
I'm still interested but I'm only halfway through my CS. Just letting ya know. ^w^

[knighthawk]

We now have @Night_ Star@Nightknight and @Knighthawk...NEAT!

[shagranoz]

Name: Amy Jones

Alias: Amazon

Nickname: None

Alignment: Good

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Powers: Plant communication- It turns out, plants have a complex language of chemical signals, and Amy can understand it quite easily. And when I say language, it is indeed something close to human speech, enabling her to set up a rudimentary information network. After all, who in their right mind thinks the crabgrass is going to rat on them?

Rapid plant growth- Amy's other power is far more dramatic. With a fair degree of focus, she can incite massive growth in any living plant, as well as shifting existing plant matter around, i.e. a tree branch might slide down the trunk several feet. She often uses them to tangle and ensnare her enemies, but she's not above growing out oak limbs to use as clubs.

Weaknesses: Obviously, without any plants around, she's just an ordinary human, meaning that she'll be far less effective working in large buildings and the like. In addition, she has very little training in martial arts and is in serious trouble if things get hand-to-hand.

Skills: Amy is fairly smart, and has quite an interest in science. She's no supergenius, but if there's one who needs a lab assistant, she'll be capable in the role.

Equipment: None

Appearance: Amy stands 5 foot 5, and weighs in at about 150lbs. She has blonde hair, green eyes, and a long scar from a rather bad car accident she was in as a little girl. Thankfully, her costume covers it up. She's a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl when it comes to clothing.

Costume: Amy's costume is a full-body forest green spandex suit. The only parts of her that can be seen are her lips and eyes. The only ornamentation she has a chest insignia consisting of a bright pink A wrapped in green vines. There's nothing special about it; it's just clothing.

Personality: The key philosophy that Amy lives by is simple: get the job done. She's one of the hardest workers around, and crime has dropped dramatically since she started patrolling her neighborhood. She's also very upbeat, but that sunny personality hides her fatal flaw; a crippling lack of self-confidence. She does recognize the problem, at least, but actually doing something about it is much harder.

Bio: Amy's always had her powers, as long as she can remember. There was never anything she was exposed to, or something like that. Still, she tried her best to live a normal life, but after a couple of headline-grabbing supervillain attacks a couple of years ago, she decided she had to do something. Maybe she couldn't tackle the big threats, but she could focus on street crime, do some good that way. So, with the help of a couple friends who swore themselves to secrecy, she made her own costume and started doing hero work on nights and weekends. It's a tough job, and she's still not good enough to play with the big boys, but she's getting better.

Oh, and before I forget: Spectacular!

Well that's been happening in almost every rp I join. In fact it seems like the guild has declined over the past year in terms of a rp's lifespan

[KaiserElectric]

@Weird Tales Then let's make this the exception! :D

Speaking of which, BEHOLD!

Captain Hypderdrive!

Name: Skye Ryder

Alias: Captain Hyperdrive

Nickname(s): None that she knows of. Seriously, with a name like Skye Ryder, do you really think she needs one?

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Powers: Skye has been enhanced to peak physical condition through the use of advanced alien technology (think Captain America), able to move faster, hit harder, and tank more damage then even the most physically capable regular humans. She's also able to perceive incredibly fast moving objects with near-perfect clarity, and her reaction speed and coordination are just as proficient.

Skills/Abilities: As a certified and trained stunt performer, Skye is proficient in martial arts and gymnastic maneuvers, and she is a highly skilled motorcyclist and driver. She's also a skilled engineer and a talented performance artist, able to baffle enemies and amaze onlookers with her antics both in and out of costume.

Equipment: Besides her costume, her only other piece of equipment is the Hypercomet, a hoverjet bike of alien origin. Sleek and fast, the white and purple striped Hypercomet performs similarly to your standard high-end motorcycle, yet is able to move safely over even the roughest and most dangerous surfaces with ease thanks to its hovering technology, and it is able to carry out very basic commands relayed to it by the suit, such as returning to her side. It has been capable of extended flight in the past, but that system is nonfunctional and Skye hasn't figured out how to get it working again. She's also modified the Hypercomet with some pyrotechnics and other such gadgets, and while she has some practical equipment like a grapple hook and smoke canisters, most of the equipment she brings into the fight is more for aesthetics then anything else. She's still a performance artist, after all.

Appearance:

Hider

(Artwork is by drcloud)

Skye is considerably tall for her age, standing a touch over six feet tall, and has a lithe and shapely form well-suited for acrobatics. Her large, expressive eyes are an almost unnatural shade of minty green, and her long light brown seems to refuse any attempt at styling other then "long, wild, and messy". Out of costume, she tends to dress casually but unconventionally, often wearing jackets, gloves, and boots out of habit. Her only wardrobe rule seems to be substance over style, and she prefers wearing things that she can move around in as opposed to whatever looks good. She also wears glasses to correct her nearsightedness, and while she has been injured in her line of work more times then she can count, her glasses have never been so much as scratched.

Costume: Her superhero costume is a modified variant of another superhero's armor. The suit itself is made largely from a synthetic polymer of alien origin, reinforced with hard leather protective gear made from good old human materials. The polymer, which lets Skye maneuver freely while still offering decent protection against bullets and blades, is not any stronger then most human armors, but it is a great deal smarter. When fully assembled, the polymer in the Hypderdrive armor is able to reflexively tense and harden to protect vital organs from harm, and it has even demonstrated limited self-repairing abilities. The suit is also hermetically sealed and protected from various environmental dangers, such as extreme temperatures and dangerous chemicals in the air. Her gauntlets contain a basic control pad that links up with the Hypercomet, and her helmet allows her to swap between thermal and regular vision if necessary. Besides some extra protective gear to make her outfit look more conventionally human, Skye has altered the original costume by swapping out the red and yellow coloring for purple, removing the thick neck-guard in favor of a more open collar with a purple scarf to match, and redesigning the helmet, giving it a purple downward-facing arrowhead design on the forehead, purple earpieces on the sides, and a pure black visor over her entire face with purple lights to simulate her eyes.

Personality: Skye is the kind of person who makes you want to take a nap after meeting her. Spontaneous and full of energy, Skye has always been something of an adrenaline junkie, always looking for new, exciting, and dangerous ways to do things and never backing down from a challenge, no matter how menacing the challenge seemed to be. She also has a fondness for flamboyancy and dramatics, and while some are irritated by her behavior, most people tend to make friends with her easily, and if there's anything she loves as much as pulling off a complex and difficult stunt just to prove she can do it, it's making a new friend. More often then not though her thirst for action can lead to her being reckless and impulsive, to the detriment of herself and others. Ultimately though, she's really a selfless person, and while she enjoys the attention she gets, Skye enjoys being able to make someone else's day brighter through her antics.

Her flair for dramatics carries over to her Captain Hyperspace persona as well, whom she portrays as a sci-fi action hero and a paragon for justice, complete with big dramatic statements about justice and liberty and more then a few puns and one-liners. Her vanity and recklessness sometimes leaks over to her Captain Hyperspace persona, but in the end Skye will go to any lengths and take any risk to do the right thing.

History: Mysteriously left at the doorstep of Saint Lulu's Orphanage in Archer City, Skye was an unusual child to say the least. Inherently brilliant but desperate for attention, Skye infamous at Saint Lulu's for attempting a series of dangerous stunts that often left her and others hospitalized, irritating her caretakers but winning over a few friends in the process. Her antics alienated any potential adoptive family, however, and as she got older and saw her friends move away while she stayed at the orphanage, she became increasingly upset and detached from others. By the time she was thirteen, Skye had become a lovable scamp of a problem child, a delinquent that regularly hung out with the punks and skaters from the Wrecks who encouraged her thrill-seeking behavior.

One day, Skye and her punk friends found a motorcycle parked nearby with the keys left in. Encouraged by her punk friends, Skye stole the bike and went on a joyride through the city, narrowly avoiding the police and making several impressively suicidal jumps and extreme maneuvers along the way. She was eventually caught by one of the Infinite Knights on their day off, and she and the bike were hand-delivered back to the original owner. The motorcycle's owner turned out to be Reb Ryder, a famous stuntman and daredevil, who was so impressed with her handling of the bike that he offered to mentor her in the art of being a stunt professional.

Skye's early forays into the world of daredevil stunt work landed her in the hospital more times then she could remember, but with a lot of practice and a little luck, she managed to get a handle on her new profession and became one of the youngest rising stars in the stuntman business. Going from small time shows to bit parts in cheesy action movies, Skye had a fun and exciting life ahead of her, and after her mentor and father figure Reb officially adopted her when she was sixteen, Skye Ryder thought her life couldn't get much better then this. However, during a routine performance, Skye's career was cut tragically short when a horrible accident involving an elephant, a wine bottle, and a bunch of guys dressed like Roman legionnaires left her paralyzed from the waist down. And that would have been the end of her story...or so you would think.

Many light-years away from Skye and the planet Earth, the morally bankrupt alien scientist and aspiring super-villain Dr. N Sain had received some truly horrifying news. While N. Sain was away on vacation, his archenemy, the legendary Commander Comet, had been run over by a space bus in his absence. Robbed of the chance to ever face his greatest enemy and defeat him once and for all, N. Sain would have gone mad with fury and grief over the Commander's death had he not been mad already. He spent many days in a depressed stew, occasionally torturing the bus driver that ran Comet over, before N. Sain got a brilliant idea. He would create a rival just like Commander Comet and quickly defeat them, and once that was done he could truly move on to conquering the universe.

N. Sain scoured the galaxy for suitable candidates until he found a human that shared Commander Comet's insatiable thirst for danger and excitement as well as his inherent goody two-shoes nature. That human, of course, was the recently crippled Skye Ryder. Abducting her to his space ship/laboratory/bachelor pad, he began using his alien technology to repair her body and tweak her DNA so that she could use the Commander's old gear without it killing her. The doctor did his job a little too well, however, and accidentally heightened Skye's physical abilities dramaticly. While Dr. N. Sain began to come to the realization that kidnapping someone and giving them super powers was a really stupid idea, Skye made a daring escape from the N. Sain's ship with the help of Commander Comet's armor and his awesome space bike and successfully made it back to Earth in one piece.

Initially just happy to be back home, Skye returned to stunt work after her "miraculous recovery", but while she still loved her day job she felt like she could be doing so much more with her new powers. While she pondered this and messed around with the armor that she got from the alien scientist, Skye accidentally played a recorded message left by the late owner. In his message, the Commander revealed that he had most likely been killed in the line of duty, and urged whoever found his armor to continue the fight for justice in his stead. Skye did not need further convincing, and after a few modifications to the Commander's costume and the space bike she "borrowed" from Dr. N. Sain, she emerged onto the superhero scene as the legendary hero from beyond the stars, Captain Hyperdrive!

Spectacular, ain't she?

@KaiserElectric

She left the brakes on, didn't she?

Doctor Who reference, NOT a sexist comment.

[Rin]

@knighthawkFunnily enough, I was actually half-considering making a hero loosely based on the Doctor (not really sure if I'll go through with it though for various reasons but hey) also uuuuugh River. The only thing that makes me tolerate her even slightly is knowing she's destined to be eaten alive by shadow bugs eventually.

Anyways, need to work on stuff I guess. Was actually thinking of doing a villain but I need to wait for Vita to be around since we'd been discussing one connected to Kiko but we'll see how that turns out I guess. XD

THE BONE MAGE

"Welcome to the Bone Zone."

Name:
Sparrow Wolfe
Alignment:
"Evil is such a rude word, I just play for myself in this game called Life."
Age:
24
Gender:
Female
Powers:
Osteokinesis: Osteo, combining from meaning bone, prefix. plus kinesis: meaning Sparrow has control over bones, usually not in others bodies, but can create them and move them to her will.
Creating skeletons, just throwing them, she can do /mostly/ whatever she wants with them.
Matter Surfing: Using her Osteokinesis, she can create bones to carry her around.
Skills/Abilities:
Iron Body: Sparrow's bones have been reinforced through her Osteokinesis, so she can take a couple more hits than most.
Enhanced Dexterity: Sparrow can precisely control her movements and muscles, making her unable to be clumsy or fumbling. She can slip through a network of lasers, reach through dangerous narrow tunnels, keep perfect balance, or juggle effortlessly without ever tripping or wobbling. Sparrow can even move their finger or toes effortlessly, with tendon strain no longer being a problem.
Costume:
As seen in the picture above, her armor is made out of bone, which makes it easier for her to keep up, as the bones are snapped by those pesky heroes, she can replace them. A barrage of attacks is needed, if against more than one opponent she is not as strong.
Personality:
Outgoing, social, open, does not like being alone. Easy to read. Warm-hearted and popular. Tends to put the needs of others over their own needs. Interested in serving others. Values relationships and families over intellectual pursuits. Group oriented, affectionate, complimentary, loving, considerate, and altruistic. Feels a strong sense of responsibility and duty. Well-developed sense of space and function. Organized. Follows the rules. A planner. Regular, orderly, clean. A finisher. Consults others before acting. Dutiful. Values traditions and security. Thinks life has purpose and meaning. Dislikes science fiction. Content. Positive.
Appearance:
Sparrow's casual attire is mostly just jeans and a t-shirt, she doesn't like anything too attention-attracting, even though her hair is redder than the blood of her enemies. Her figure is slim and small, she's 5'5 standing up straight, and weighs a meager 120 lbs. I guess you could call her all bone.
History:
The night was stormy, the high and fast winds blowing through the air. The murky smell of a swamp filling the air, a scream and sobs were heard as a child was born. The child born, had killed her mother. When she came out of the womb, the powers she had been born with fluctuated, she didn't know any better. The father, who was delivering the baby in their small shack, had sobbed as the contorted bones in his wife's lifeless face. He cradled the baby in his arms, if his wife had died, at least she lived.
Sparrow.
He named her Sparrow, after her mothers favorite animal. Their humble shack in the woods was not enough for this child, the father had thought. So, he had looked through New York, finding a safe city to live in. He couldn't stand being the humble man he had once been, he wanted to be wealthy, give his daughter a good life that he had never had.
Sparrow discovered her powers early through temper tantrums. As she got angry, bones just appeared around her. Growing older, this turned into bones being flung at the people she was yelling at. She tried to delve into this, reading books on "bone magic" and trying to strengthen her power as much as possible.
Growing up, Sparrow had issues with the law, nothing too major, bail was always paid by her then wealthy father. She did this as a ploy to get her always-busy-father to get her to pay more attention to her. Nowadays, she couldn't care less. Her father is alive and wealthy, but she mostly leaves him to himself, while he grieves over losing his wife and only child...
