Doc Williams aka the Light

The Light has the power to completely control light in all ways. He can make an area as bright or as dark as he desires, make any color light, create a ball of light ten times hotter then the sun or as hot as fire. He can create blinding flashes of light as well.

Sebastian Yorvic aka the Botanist Mortician

Botanist Mortician in costume

The Botanist Mortician can control all aspects of organic plant life as well as the earth it self. Growing any plant from nothing, filing an area with thick plant life, cover someone in vines. He can also shape the earths crust, moving areas of land at will.

Marvin Frosner aka the Mad Merman

The Mad Merman was the third friend in a trio consisting of Doc Williams, Sebastian Yorvic and himself. The three where unstoppable in the lab. The most genius minds of the era some say. Marvin being most proficient in marine biology. The team made headway that amazed the world. That was until his two friends developed mutant powers and he did not. He was jealous of his counterparts and obsessis over creating a syrum to give himself powers. Once completed Marvin injects himself. The Syrum causes Frosner to lose his mind, going completely insane. He gains no powers. Some believe the syrum elevated his intelligence so high that he went crazy. He takes control of an underwater sea lab and uses it as a base of operations for his Zeta Squad.
___________

Doc Williams has been trying to create peace inbetween the faction of brothers and the Omega league, the Faction of Brothers is a group of mutants who want to take over Omega city and prove that mutants should rule instead of working with the humans to create peace. Williams has struggled to convince the leader of the Faction of Brothers named the Botanist Mortician to see his way. After finally making some headway with the leader a group of villains led by the Mad Merman attacks the city. The government decides to act harshly declaring that all super humans must be "chiped" with a tracker and power retardant wich nullifies your power. This reminds the Botanist Mortician why he wants to take the city by force. To stop the humans and take his rightful place as ruler of Omega city.
Doc Williams knows that this can only lead to more hate and more war and that an understanding must be created between the humans and super humans. Peace must be the way. Doc Williams knows also that to obtain this peace battles must be fought against ignorance and that he will need a group willing to take the necessary risks to obtain peace. The doc hasn't been "the light" in many years but knows that he must wipe the dust from his old costume and find new heroes. He sends out sevral invitations to the people he has chosen.

Notable groups.

More details on groups

We are still recruiting for this. We need heroes and villains, and all inbetween.

I will be accepting up to three characters per player but you are free to only play just one if you like. I think I am going to play a few my self.

I am looking to fill a few teams and have them conflict with eachother.

The teams:

Omega League - A team of super heroes that retired years ago. The leader is the only one left and he is trying to recruit members to re establish the team. Needs as many players as possible. This team will need a team captain.

Faction of Brothers - A group of mutant villains that believe mutants should rule over humans. They activity pursue this goal and have loyal mutant members who want to see there kind rise above where they belive they belong. Recruiting as many as possible. This team will also need a captain.

Zeta Squad - A group of super villains who have many diffrent motives spanning from world domination to money. There leader is a mentality insane Super genius who has an underwater laboratory base of operations in the Pacific Ocean. They are best known for stealing a tank and taking it downtown to distract the authorities from the others who stole millions of dollers in Dimonds from a world renowned jewelry shop and Museum striking two places in one night.

The Assassins - A government run group of super villains who take orders straight from the white house. They execute extreamly difficult missions of questionable motive that can span from taking out certain "high risk" targets, eliminating threats to going on diplomatic missions.

Faction of Brothers: A group of mutant villains lead by the both wise and stern Botanist Mortician. They are convinced they should rule over the inferior humans.

Zeta Squad: A group of villains led by the insane Mad Merman. There motives can be anything from money, world domination, to the destruction of the world.

The Assassins: This group of villains was brought together by and is fully funded by the government. It is a secret group that has a very special goal. The government who is so against supers couldn't resist having a group of there own.

Omega league: A group of super heroes that was led by the Light until they retired fifteen years ago.
The Light feels it is time to re establish the Omega league.

(○The light is Doc Williams, he is a mutant who can control light, he is in his late sixtys.
○the Botanist Mortician is a mutant who can control plants and earth.
○the Mad Merman is an insane and evil scientist who made himself crazy in a attempt at giving himself super powers.)

[Scarifar]

Why didn't you add the cs sheet here, too? Also, why didn't you add the link to the ooc at the latest post of the interest check? It's very counter-productive.

And while I'm at it, how about rules?

[Scarifar]

What I meant was: put it in the first post, not later on. Not as many people are going to read further than the first post to get a first impression on this.

[Pumpkinlord]

I have been watching the 90's X men animated series. I bought all 5 seasons and it's awesome. I never got to see it back to back when I was a kid.

After I finish I think I might watch the 90's Spiderman animated series. That one was always my favorite as a kid.

Batman beyond is tempting as well.

I was thinking if this ever takes off that we could elect a team captain for the omega league.
Also I thought it might be cool to recruit members for the faction of brothers, Zeta squad and the Assassins. It's just a thought. Possibly could have two characters each?
Hmm...

[ArenaSnow]

Perhaps. What would you think the cap to be on player characters (per person)?

[Pumpkinlord]

@ArenaSnow
Like two I guess.
One hero one villain? Or perhaps it should be 3. Your choise of the diffrent teams.
Submit characters and I'll take a look.

I added "team" to the CS. Add if your trying out for Omega league, Faction of Brothers[mutant only], Zeta Squad or the Assassins.

[malmshodes]

I've got a character for this. I'll try and get the CS up after work if that's alright ?

[Pumpkinlord]

@malmshodes
For sure, thanks! :) wich group you thinking about?

[Stern Algorithm]

I've been lurking around your interest check and even though I have enough RPs to keep me busy, it's hard to pass up a good superhero RP.

Interference

Name: Fang Ai Ling (Eileen Fang)
Alias: Interference, or Dr. Fang
Gender: Female
Age: 35
Team: Assassins
Powers:

Eileen is a mutant with the ability to control phenomena that exhibit mathematical wave behavior starting with sound and light, possibly getting into gravitational waves in the future. The light and sound is emitted from her body. She is also blessed with a very high intelligence.

Physical Description:

Eileen Fang

Costume:

Interference

Interference wears a caped, white enamel androgynous power suit that is easily mistaken for a robot. It looks something like the following image.

But the head has a single red camera in the center like the following image.

Items/Weapons:

Interference's power suit provides a decent amount of protection and strength augmentation while providing her with many options when using her natural ability. She has many devices that produce or augment sound and light. Notably, she has a triangular sword/bat that she can make vibrate at different frequencies to shatter different materials. She also carries many small disc-shaped emitters that she lays around to create acoustic or harmonic zones that amplify her power. Depending on what magic systems are available, Interference will attempt to exploit such magic systems and will carry trinkets or devices that meld magic and technology together.

Personality:

Most people's first impressions of Dr. Fang are that she is a timid, klutzy, easygoing and bookwormy researcher. Eileen readily complies with the government's demands of her and, for the most part, appears harmless, content to bury herself in her work and forget about the world. She has a pleasant disposition and is not discouraged by failure and setbacks, reveling in the exploratory nature of experimentation. Behind all this she hides the ambition of world domination. When it comes t ofulfilling her plans, she can be power-hungry and Machiavellian. She intends to use the Assassins as her foothold to overthrowing the government. She is charismatic but often unintentionally talks down to others, exuding an otherworldly, ascended calm, confident to the point of arrogance, but smart enough to not let pride become a weakness. She is always thinking and calculating. In the end, she is certain she can make the world a better place, but is willing to make sacrifices to get there. She sees lives as numbers and data and doesn't easily become emotional or angry, having the same detachment one would have while doing math problems. Because of her mindset, she almost always has a gentle, subtle smile. To her, taking over the world is just a 'fun and exciting' experiment.

Origin:

Eileen was born with her powers, which originally consisted of mimicking noises and producing colors from her body. However, the more she learned about the properties of light and sound, the more she realized the full potential of her abilities. Coupling that with her ability to understand complex wave equations gave her mastery of light and sound.

Background history:

There's a quack theory in the 'alternative medicine' circles that playing Beethoven and Mozart to the womb will make the developing child grow up to be a genius. While the idea seems pretty bunk, by coincidence, Eileen's parents had attempted the 'therapy' and Eileen would turn out to be a genius, although for the first month, she was like a radio with only one song, "Beethoven's Ninth Symphony". Her body emitted the music she had heard in the womb. For this reason, her parents home-schooled her, afraid the government would come and take their baby away for being a mutant. They thought there was no harm in it because Eileen's powers weren't at all dangerous. Eileen thus was raised in moderate isolation. It became evident at some point that she also had mastery over light; during a tantrum, Eileen started flashing colors. Her parents taught her to keep her powers secret before they let her experience the outside world. Eileen was obedient and went through life without incident. In secret, Eileen practiced her abilities; the more she learned about the scientific and mathematical properties of light and sound, the more powerful she became, able to emit anything on the electromagnetic spectrum, and all frequencies of sound, especially the inaudible frequencies. Her intellect allowed her to achieve a high profile academic career doing research for the government. Her research is in optronics: using photons instead of electrons for data storage and transfer. To harness light in this way, Eileen relies on crystals, which she has an intuitive understanding of thanks to her powers; she uses light and sound to deduce the refractive and acoustic properties of crystals before she creates devices to harness them. Optronics will be significantly faster and more powerful than electronics, so Eileen plans to make artificial intelligence based on optronic hardware. Mostly her work is in weapons development, creating efficient laser weapons and sensor technology for the military. As a government researcher, she decided to risk letting her mutant side show little by little because she wanted more from life. Slowly she revealed herself, showing off her harmless abilities, and figuring out the best and safest way to be a mutant working in the government. It wasn't long before the 'proper authorities' came to acquire her. She leveraged her research position and, thanks to her overall compliant nature, was allowed to become a government sanctioned mutant. Then she started demonstrating the more 'dangerous' applications of her abilities in order to get noticed, pretending that she had 'only recently' figured out these abilities. This made her a usable asset to the government's superpowered team, the Assassins. Her goal now is to continue to take advantage of government funding to continue her research into artificial intelligence (she wants to make an army of robots), as well as to slowly convert the other Assassins to her side before she uses their power to usurp the government. The Assassins also have access to the largest database of superpowered individuals, giving her plenty of potential 'recruitment targets'.

I wasn't sure where to put 'weaknesses' since her weaknesses do not really have anything to do with her power. For the most part, she's just a flesh and blood human, weaker than average. Her high damage attacks require precision (ie. shooting a laser from her hands), while any attack that has a large area coverage does fairly weak damage and is used for suppression (cymatic* disruption field). Rather than being 'powerful' Interference is 'versatile'. The power suit only slightly augments her strength and durability, and she has very little combat expertise. She cannot turn 'invisible' though she can attempt camouflage, and she can make herself 'unhearable'. She's also pretty hard to sneak up on since she's basically a walking radar/sonar. Her strength mostly lies in her plans and plotting; she has a tendency to pinpoint very specific weaknesses, like finding just the right frequency to shatter a wineglass. When it comes to supplying the other Assassins with tools and weapons, Eileen is the Oprah Winfrey of dangerous gadgets, and loves 'upgrading' her friends.

Let me know if this is an acceptable character.

* For those who are unfamiliar with the term 'cymatic', here's an example:

[Pumpkinlord]

@Stern Algorithm
Oh wow that's awesome. Accepted. So she can use sound and light. If you wouldn't mind could you give me a list of attacks or things she could do with her power, extent of her suit. nothing to long or detailed (unless you want.)

*As a sort of random side note, all players will get a chance to deal damage, take damage and show off. Don't get mad if you get "beat up" you won't die unless I say it's ok first lol!! Let's all have fun on this! I'm excited. GMs word is law, law I say! Lol

Also remember you don't have to be a mutant, we all know heroes and villains come in all shapes and sizes.
Although the Faction of Brothers is mutant only.

[malmshodes]

@Pumpkinlord
Currently I"m leaning towards the Omega League.

[Pumpkinlord]

@malmshodes
cool cool sounds good

[Pumpkinlord]

I posted in the IC, I'm just waiting on more people to apply. We have 4 teams to choose from. We have one accepted for the Assassins.
I'm playing Mantis boy for the Omega league.

Tyler McCain/Mantis boy

Tyler McCain as normal he is quite strange and likes metal music.

Tyler McCain/Mantis boy

Tyler as Mantis boy. He has alien bio armor that grants him life support,resistances to damage, light healing,slightly enhanced strength and Dexterity, and camo. He extends a two and a half foot blade from each arm. He can wall crawl as well as hover with extendable wings.

I posted pics of Doc Williams (the Light) and Sebastian Yorvic (the Botanist Mortician) on the first post in this thread.

[knighthawk]

I'm very interested and have been waiting for a friend to respond to parter up with. I have a whole slew of ideas but I want to make sure they compliment the other persons.

[Pumpkinlord]

@knighthawk
Cool!
are you talking about Co GMing?

[knighthawk]

If you are looking for a Co-GM.

[Pumpkinlord]

@knighthawk
PMd you.

Omega League = good guys.
Faction of Brothers = prideful mutant extremists.
Zeta Squad = unpredictable crazy villains.
The Assassins = Government run super powered special ops.

[Stern Algorithm]

As for Interference's attacks and abilities, here are a few:

Three-point Harmony: Anything that her sword/bat strikes three times she can destroy. The rod vibrates when it strikes and she analyzes the vibrations. Three vibrations give her enough information to pinpoint the resonant destructive frequency of the object being hit. This lets her make a 'blunt slash', since the sword/bat has a cross-section that is an equilateral triangle, each of the three 'blade edges' is only 60 degrees, not particularly shape or good at cutting, but if its vibrating at the right frequency, it makes a horrible, jagged, shattering sort of cut through the material. This ability doesn't work on some materials. Interference has several materials memorized, like concert, and bone-through-flesh.

Active Denial System: Based on a real-life military technology, it is in essence a non-lethal heat ray in the form of a wall. It causes intense pain but little to no damage in the top layer of skin and is used as a deterrent.

Beam snipe: Interference can fire high energy light beams from her body, channeled through specific outlets in her suit to snipe people down. it is very lethal so she doesn't use it that much unless she's trying to cripple or disable a fleeing enemy.

Cymatic disruption field: Interference generates a large area of fluctuating sound pressure. Depending on the frequency and intensity, it can cause mild nausea and vertigo, to actual physical trauma. She can use it to cause earthquake-like effects and can cause significant collateral damage. This ability relies on her placing her emitters to create an acoustic zone. This ability may overlap with her study of magic by taking advantage of 'magic circles' and the magical properties of sound (chanting, reading spell aloud, etc.)

Solar Flare: A blinding flash of light (DBZ reference)

Mute: Interference can make herself inaudible by absorbing all the vibrations her body would otherwise generate.

Camouflage: self-explanatory. Works like real-life camouflage, in other words, not perfect. Much easier to trick electronic tracking equipment like radar, a lot harder to trick biological eyes.

Super vision and super hearing: comes with the sound and light abilities.

Her suit can let her punch through wood. It can also protect her from getting hurt if being hit by a fast-moving car, but getting hit by a truck will still be pretty painful and risky. The suit also gives her the ability to control and command electronics that she has made (drones, robots, etc.) Technically, she's a glass cannon. Her abilities can all be slightly modified depending on what frequency she's using, and she's always experimenting and coming up with new ways to use her powers. When she figures it out, she'll start to incorporate magic into her technology, like runes of protection in her armor etc.

I'm hoping for more Assassin characters or NPC's for Interference to interact with, take orders from, or attempt to manipulate. Depending on where the story goes, Interference may try to 'double-dip' and secretly join Zeta Squad. Heck, she might even try to triple-dip and join Omega League too. She would see no moral dilemma in doing so since every step is but a means to her goal.

I can foresee her having a power rivalry with Doc Williams. While her use of light is more 'scientifically' oriented and thus restricted, Doc Williams' use of light is more esoteric and all encompassing, I feel.

[ArenaSnow]

Sorry, can't bring myself to do much for this one. Don't wait on me.
