Omniscient Self Replication
Gabriel is able to create up to 2 copies of himself, making it possible for there to be 3 of him in total. However, unlike other cloner, his body is not split - his mind is not divided. His mind is present in all bodies, and they are all originals in their own right. Once he split the first time, there was no more 'original' him. Each of his bodies are real, and they all share a telepathic link. Every bit of information one gathers, the other 2 get instantly. This makes him incredibly talented at learning new things, gaining information and espionage.

| I N F O |

Gabriel was on the fast track to become a soldier, a Marine, to be precise. He was raised by a deadbeat and abusive dad,
and an addict for a mother. As soon as he was 18, he signed up to join. During his first deployment he woke up one morning not quite feeling right. He stayed in his bunk that day. Lucky, one could think, as that was the day of the greatest Advanced Terrorist attack to date, The Hellfire incident - 456 people dead. 80 of them civilians, the other military men and women. Gabriel was one of those people. He was killed, a metal spike pierced his heart and killed him instantly.

He woke up in his bed, from a nightmare. Well, he thought it was a nightmare, till he saw the news were they rolled the footage of him being killed. Michael had found out about this from the contacts he had in the military and took Gabriel into the academy where Gabriel flourished. The Kid had never been a smart one, he had always lacked book smarts. But now? Now he could study three times as fast, he could always be asleep, do his homework on time and hit the gym. He attended the Academy for two years, and Michael had then offered him a Job at the CIA. One he turned down, instead wishing to stay at the grounds. Work as a security officer and teach others like him how to use their abilities - how to turn something that could have been a curse into a gift.

Name:

Arthur Karl Stoltson

Epithet

The Golden Prince

Age:

Arthur is twenty six years old, the peak of his life.

Race:

Despite his rumored blue blood as a nobleman, Arthur is Human.

Appearance:

Arthur stands at a respectable 6'1, with a muscular build one would expect of a warrior of his ilk. He's a fairly large guy, but he keeps a lean slender-esque build, so he's hardly the biggest soldier in a company. His features are well defined, yet regal and exquisite, he's a good looking man, as is expected from a man of his status. His skin is free from the normal blemishes of the working class, his face is a light bronze hue from the hours in the sun - a much cleaner and paler look than the peasants or common folk of the land.

Well groomed and well thought out facial hair sculpted by the best barber in the city. His hair is always cut by that very same barber, as opposed to being thorn from working. Arthur normally wears expensive clothing made out of the finest fabrics, silk and the like. His tunics are always well washed, unless they've recently gotten stained. His leggings often carry some sort of hardened leather pieces to them, and he always wears a leather jacket with reinforced patches on his arms, chest and back. On his right shoulder is a leather shoulder pad with his family crest - The Diamond Lion. Boots matching the leggings and jacket are always to match. On his waist hangs his sword sheath. A dagger is safely secured on the other side of his waist, and a smaller dagger is hidden in his boot.

His armor he wears while out for war is modest if not for the special engravings in the trim of the armor, it looks really nothing special from the average knight's. A full set of plate with a chainmail base and leather accents, a tabard with no direct markings on, as to not draw attention. It's not the heaviest of armors, and as such provides poor protection against arrows or spears, but it does allow him to move fast enough to handle himself in more than a few sword fights.

Personality:

Arthur is a well spoken and well educated man. It shows in the words he chooses to speak - well, on occasion. It's not true to say that Arthur tends to piss people off, but if a gentleman would accuse Arthur of having pissed him off, few would find that hard to believe. A Nobleman, a knight by trade and a prince by birth, Arthur's not always the paragon people would expect. He's a lover at heart, and a enormous flirt, his favorite saying is 'I've yet to find a woman I've not fallen in love with'. Which largely holds true, his wish for romance has no borders, it does not care for status in the society, current romantic situation, professions, country or even race. Unlike his brothers and his father, Arthur spends a fair amount of time with the common folk - he earned his nickname ' The Golden Prince' by buying enough rounds at the various taverns, and is as such generally in high standing with the peasants of the kingdoms in his father's domain. Well, as well standing as royalty can have. Due to his dipping his toe in the gutter, he's got a lot of street smart, and is more than likely prone to make morally questionable choices, not always in the pursuit of love, sometimes only for a laugh. For a royalty, he does care awfully much about the common man, and a early fascination with the Journeymen and their Order have always made him aspire to be something of a hero. Often to his detriment.

Backstory:

Magic:

Skills:

Swordsmanship;
First and foremost, Arthur is a man of the blade. He's been fighting with a weapon since as long as he's been big enough to old one. Few can bring Arthur pause when it comes to matching steel, even fewer whom he does not share blood with. His swift but deadly skills are hard to match, much thanks to the great masters he have had, being a squire to his oldest brother, he honed the art of war alongside the other princes.

Martial Arts;
As previously mentioned, Arthus is well versed in the art of war, both as a combatant and as a commander. While he never was given as large commands as his brothers - never one to lead entire armies, he's got a lot of technical knowledge, he was trained the same way his siblings were, but has yet to fully put them to use.

Hunting
Arthur's a decent hunter. He knows the basics of tracking animals, he's a OK shot with a bow. Hardly fit for using it in combat, though. But, in a pinch he's able to hit a deer, or even a bird.

Equipment:

The Dandelion Blade;
A sword created by the masterswordsmith Airon Bronzebeard, the royal Blacksmith of the Garneic Court. The Dandelion Blade is the fourth sword Airon created for the Stoltson family, the first being for his father,
the other two for his older brothers once they had passed their time as squires and had become knights.
The Dandelion Blade is a typical longsword, with the imprint of a Dandelion just above the hilt - a flower that Arthur picked as a young man, as during his first battle he was hit in the head by a mace - thankfully, his helmet protected him. He was almost knocked out cold. And the only thing he remember seeing on the ground was the trampled dandelions.

He survived that battle, earned a scar for it and plenty of experience. Besides the marking feature of the dandelion, the blade has a very regal look to it, a well crafted hilt, a the finest grip one could want so the blade never leaves Arthur's hand, and armed with the Royal Key Rune, to avoid the weapon being stolen.

The Armor Of St.Goran
The armor of Saint Goran the Dragonslayer of many generations past. While only the helm is technically that of Goran, the rest of the armor has been reconstructed to match what the Dragonslayer's armor had looked like. Some alterations have been made at the request of the prince.

Renegade
His chestnut colored stead. Renegade is one of the finest horses in the land, while not the fastest, the horse has incredible stamina and a fiery personality. Renegade carries the brunt of Arthur's good, such as his spear, bastard sword, and hunting bow. And of course necessities such as bedroll and a pot to cook water in.

Misc:

[Hillan]

Five months ago:

The rain was pouring down in the streets of the Narrows, the day was coming to an end. The Doors of the Crown Vic slammed shut on both sides, as the two men walked out. One of them was Douglas O'Malley, detective of the New Lilith Police Department, Precinct 11. The other was Lieutenant Thomas Campbell of the same Precinct. Douglas was a hotshot detective, late twenties, good looking for a cop. Short black hair, brown eyes, 6'1 160 pounds. "Prettyboy, pay attention." The older detective told Doug as the two crossed the streets of the narrow. Doug's partner was the grizzled fifteen years on the force LT. Campbell. The Blonde haired 6'5 210 pounds worth of raw muscle, despite being in his 50's was rugged, but still certainly earned a few looks.

Campbell was wearing a white dress-shirt, a wool coat, suspenders and a pair of suit pants and a pair of nice leather shoes n his feet, his hands were gloved with brown leather gloves. Douglas wore a black leather jacket, a V-neck T-shirt, jeans and Sneakers plus a rollex watch. Douglas came from old money, he didn't even need to be a cop, he just did it for kicks.

They were on the trail of a shooter, responsible for three deaths at a night club three nights ago. The shooting was drug related and the suspect, Juan Vendelo, was suspected to be related to the 49th Street Kings, a remnant of the now defunct Harbor Kings who used to be one of the City's biggest gangs before The Mavericks crushed them.

The two police men walked into the apartment building, scurring up the stairs as everyone who saw them avoided matching their gazes. These parts of the town, the cops were more feared than the most hardened criminals.

Thomas knocked on the door, 14C. The home of Juan's Girlfriend, Francesca. "Francesca Benito? This is the New Lilith Police. Open up!" Thomas shouted as his fist hit the door again. A female scream was heard from inside the building, and Thomas's hand found itself inside of his jacket, pulling the nine milimeter pistol from it's holster. Douglas grabbed his gun from his belt holster as well as the senior detective nodded, kicking in the door.

"FREEZE, POLICE NOBODY MOVE!" Thomas shouted as he scanned the room, finding only the woman sitting on the floor, looking at the floor, propped against the wall. Thomas moved towards her as Douglas scanned the rest of the apartment, vanishing behind the next doorway as Thomas checked on the woman. As he got closer, he saw blood behind her on the wall, a a thick stream of blood running down her throat. She had been cut open. Thomas shouted. "Doug, one casualty over here!" Doug cleared his throat. "Uh, Boss. That might be two." Douglas said as he walked out of the next room, hands behind his head, a shotgun to his back. Thomas quickly pulled up his gun, aiming it at the gunman, but Juan smiled. "Wouldn't do that if I were you, officer, or you're gonna be picking small pieces off your partner off the walls." The Shotgun was taped in his hand, his finger on the trigger - if Thomas shot Juan, Juan would shoot Douglas.

Douglas looked at Thomas and nodded, mouthing "Do it." Thomas shook his head and flipped the pistol in his hand, making the handle point towards Douglas and Juan. Taking a step forward, he moved as quickly as he could, pushing Douglas to the side, tossing his pistol to Douglas as he hit the ground, and moving to grab the gun and disarm Juan, a maneuver he had done literally hundreds of times before.

But this time, he was slower than usual. A shot rang out and the double barrel shotgun fired. The slugs found their way to Thomas's right shoulder, tearing through skin, muscle and bone. Thomas fell to the ground and Douglas shot Juan dead on the spot.

Inspired more so by the Doc Fate of Earth 20 than any of the more mainstream approaches to the Agent Of Fate. I'm aspiring to write a more street leveled Doctor Fate, someone who combines Indiana Jones-Esque Adventures with detective work. Mixing the human elements of the adventurer Kent with the larger than life being Nabu. A Fate where Kent is as important as the Doctor is and the constant struggle between Kenneth losing himself in Fate, and how he beliefs the world needs the Sorcerer. Doc Fate will be the result of Kent resisting the grasp of the helmet. Lacking the Amulet Of Anubis and The Cloak Of Destiny he is at far from his full power. He will quest for the artifacts while protecting the world the best he can. What he lacks in magical artifacts he makes up for with enchanted cyberpunk equipment.

I wanna tell a story fro mthe mystical perspective of the DC:U, but I decided against Zatanna because she has been done to death, Doctor Strange never did interest me, and Constantine's a Brit. That leaves me only with Doctor Fate, and Earth-20 version of him's a lot more grounded - it's the version of the character that's the closest to my wheelhouse.

Theme
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big Brother Tapo
Tapo Ichi
【Gender】Male
【Age】22
【Age Appearance】 Late Teens.

【Nation】Leaf
【Birthplace】Konoha

【Alignment/Affiliation/Organization】
Loyal to his home but values life, his countrymen's and nature's at the forefront.

【Clan/Bloodline】
Hanabira clan's a rather small clan, a Dozen or so active members in the shinobi corps. Tapo's the only one sent to the New Continent, as he's the one who's gained enough renown. And honed his craft enough to be considered worthy. His clan has boom of children in the post-war time, earning him the nickname "Big brother Tapo".

【Rank】
Special Jounin – Intelligence specialization.
2nd Chief Officer of Intelligence.
Communications Officer.
Head Of Sealing Unit.

【Chakra Nature】
Wind
Latent talents in earth and fire.

【Appearance/Wardrobe】
Tapo stands at 5'10, reasonably tall for his age. A lean and well maintained build at 140 pounds, one would be hard pressed to find any flab on him. His body's noteable for it's without scars. Not because he's avoided getting injured, but because he's always taken great care of the wounds he has sustained, to avoid ugly scarring. His dark brown hair reaches slightly further down than his shoulders, tied back into a neat ponytail in the back, leaving the front natural. He's normally seen in earthy, dark colors with mint tints and highlights. He wears a tight top, green over the chest and black over the arms, and a grey coat with his clan's Blossom insignia on, with green stripes on the shoulders. His hands are almost always gloves, regardless of the weather.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【Personality】
Tapo's a reserved, initially seemingly cold individual. His coolness should not be mistaken for apathy, but rather understood as focus. He's completely dedicated to his craft, be it gardening or Ninjutsu. He values natural life above all – at times even acting harshly against those that will not show nature the respect he thinks it deserves. He's strictly vegetarian, eating only what he himself, or his kin has produced. He's a patriot and loyal to his house without fail, valueing success as a shinobi, but also as a individual – a member of his people and his family. He smiles often, but few have seen him ever laugh. His one outlet is when it comes to wordplay. He throughly enjoy a good pun.

Unlike many other in war time, Tapo kept his head cool, thinking before acting, following orders instead of boasting. Remaining humble instead of reckless. Proving himself as responsible and reliable, a paragon in that regard. He's eccentric and to some, he might seem a bit weird due to his fascination with art and flora, to him, something being 'ugly' is the worst insult he could imagine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【History】

Born the oldest of five siblings, his father a soldier in Konoha's armed forces. He grew up in an apartment much too small for their family, he had 18 cousins living in the same stairwell as his family did, leaving the Hanabira clan quite cramped. He learned how to live without much personal space, his mother working as hard as she could to take care of him and his siblings, and soon, once he was old enough, he would help her out. Yet, this belief of never having enough personal space stayed with him – he would frequently run away from home, leaving his mother worried sick. During these runaways, he'd go out into the forests, admiring the beauty of the blooming flowers – and during winter he'd mourn their loss, yet wait patienty for their rebirth and bloom once spring came.

He begun training as a shinobi at six years old, proving a quick study and something of a prodigy when it came to technicailities. He was able to read at a level several years ahead of his age, showing a understanding for concepts most kids his age would be unable to comprehend. His prodigal skills were hampered by his daydreaming, dreaming himself back to the fields with the blooming flowers time and time again. After the academy, he would go out on his own for several hours, exploring nature and the like.

Tapo was nine when he was considered ready for battle, graduating the academy and sent onto his first few missions. Most of them were basic, for even in wartime, Konoha still needed to parttake in missions that would net the shinobi village revenue from the rest of the Land Of Fire. War makes the treasury run empty very quickly, after all.

His first time seeing battle was about a year in, fighting warriors from the Empire. Outnumbered and defeated, his squad were shattered. Young Tapo was slashed across the chest and kicked into a river to drown somewhere in the ruins of the Land Of Whirlpools. Sinking he regained consiousness in the nick of time, kicking and paddling his way up to the surface – or what he thought was the surface, rather.

His head popped up in a cavern, what looked like the ruins of an archive. Not ruined because someone had raided it – but ruined because it was unkempt. It's keepers had perished long ago, and the archive had been forgotten in time.

Tapo tended to his wounds his training in medicine paid off, the cavern was sizeable enough to provide him with edible mushrooms and the river he had been left to die in led all the way here, leaving him with ampt fresh water for drinking and sustainability. Yet, the greatest treasure of them all was not the limited means of survival the cavern provided him with – but instead the wellspring of knowledge the archives held.

Once he was strong enough to no longer have to worry about his wound, Tapo begun reading, experimenting and testing his boundaries. Within weeks, he had mastered the basics. Sealing something away and summoning it again. The more he learned, the more he begun understanding about why this place was untouched – how none of the sensory shinobi could find it. It was warded off by some of the most powerful sealing techniques Tapo had ever heard off – seals that were well guarded secrets even during the First Great War. Tapo spent six months underground, presumeed dead, like the flowers he so loved as a child. Learning, honing his craft.

He emerged, a few weeks after his 11th Birthday. He spun a tale about how he had been saved by some civilians downstream and he had been suffering from short-term amnesia, and once he recovered his memory he returned home. He lived as an ordinary shinobi, taking small time missions for the forseeable future, not seeing much combat – spending his off time helping out his family or in his solitude down in the archives. Once he mastered the basics of his craft, getting in and out of the Archive was no obsticle.

He chose to become a sealing specialist by schooling, his personal studies had put him leagues ahead of his young peers, his teachers thinking him a true prodigy in the art – in a way, they were right. Over the next few years, he begun mastering the finer, more intricate uses of his art. When he was 15 – about time for him to be promoted to a chunnin – he was kidnapped by the intelligence forces. The ANBU. They suspected him of being a traitor – a mole, someone who was using a mimic jutsu to look like the young Hanabira, that was the only explaination for his advanced mastery of sealing techniques and abnormal skill with them. Yet, the sensor jutsu they used to check his body for any known transformation techniques failed, so did interegation. Sure, he did have his secret – but they weren't asking the right question.

They let him go, holding his promotion until they could evaluate if he's a security risk. Getting in contact with the Captain of the ANBU, Tapo explained his situation – he had a secret technique he was carrying, one he couldn't share with his fellow shinobi. While it was weird circumstances – no one of his Clan had a Hiden previously. But the Captain gave the investigators the green light.
'We're shinobi, everyone has their secrets' was the logic that had been given to him.

With it, Tapo began flourishing. Be began displaying what he had learned, proving to be faster than anyone else of his age – traveling long distances in seemingly the blink of an eye. He began showing his mastery of techniques the world hadn't seen in centuries – not since the foundation of the Hidden Leaf.

As his teenage years came to a close, Tapo had become famous as an escort of valuable goods. His speed at delivering parcels, regardless if they were encoded messages or supplies was without equal. His mastery over sealing techniques is unmatched in all of the Leaf, perhaps even the world. With his skills he has fixed the warding in the archives, making it only accessable if one has the 'Key' – A seal of his own creation.

Because of the usefulness of his gimmick, he was both a volounteer and a prime candidate for the Embargo Force of Konoha.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Blooming Petal Blossom
Type of Jutsu: Space Time Ninjutsu, Sealing technique
Rank:A
Range:Any
Nature Type: N/A
Description: His bastardization of the Flying Thunder God Technique. It achieves basically the same thing. Momentum's about a tenth of that of the real deal – Tapo found his own reflexes to be incapable of handling the full throttle of the real technique. Except the speed, his technique's almost identical to the Second Hokage's original, except his seal cannot be applied to other living things. Everytime he teleports he activates a seal on his body, usually located on his arms. Turning the seal, it glows as he teleports, leaving behind green rose petals. The technique does not allow him to teleport anyone else with him, unless additional seals are used. The distance one can travel is based upon the intricacy of the seal.

Name of Technique: Blooming Petal Blossom; Grapevine
Type of Jutsu: Space Time Ninjutsu, Taijutsu
Rank:A
Range:Close.
Nature Type: N/A
Description: Tapo grabs an opponent into a arm lock– one of the few grapples he knows, and immediately teleport as high into the air as he can with the target. Once in the air, he gets a steadier grip onto his opponent, to avoid them getting out of the grip untill right before impact, where he activates another seal and teleports away, alone, leaving the target facing the full power of the most equal force of them all – Gravity.

Name of Technique: Blooming Petal Blossom; Flight Of The Sparrow
Type of Jutsu: Space Time Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu.
Rank:A
Range:Close - Medium
Nature Type: Wind
Description:Coating his sword with the flying sparrow technique, Topa slashes at his opponent once, throws one of his special kunai into the opponent's blindspot, and with the same hand he threw activates a seal on his swordarm, making him teleport in the middle of a swing – letting him hit an opponent from two different angles at once.

Name of Technique: Petal Seed Technique
Type of Jutsu: Sealing Technique, Supplementary
Rank:C
Range:Self
Nature Type: N/A
Description:Creating the seals he need to trigger with his Blooming Petal technique, applying them to his own body. Arms and sometimes torso, each ' standard' seal takes up 20 Centimeters in diameter. A longer distance seal, such as between villages, requires drastically more space and intricate seal. If he was to sustain an injury upon the seal, they are broken and cannot be used. He most often keep four seals on him, two on each forearm for ease of access, but he can fit a grand total of 12 on his arms, shoulders and torso, binding them to his teleportation technique.

Name of Technique: Elemental Sealing Method
Type of Jutsu: Sealing Technique, utility.
Rank:B
Range:Close
Nature Type: Whichever the element that is applied to the technique has.
Description: Tapo uses an allies, or his own – if the scroll is to be primed for Wind element. His siblings have each helped him prime one scroll for each, as they all handily have unique chakra natures.

Name of Technique: Time Stasis;
Type of Jutsu: Space Time Ninjutsu.
Rank:B
Range: Trap, can be triggered miles away from Tapo.
Nature Type: N/A
Description:A Tag often hidden under some kind of cover, once it gets in contact with anything living, it triggers a 5 by 5 meter 'bubble'. A sphere where total stasis happens. Nothing moves once it enters, or is caught insode of this bubble, freezing the target in time for up to five seconds. Stronger chakra constitutions and abnormal chakra patterns (Such as say, Gates, Sussano, or Lightning Armor) will mess with with the trap and shorten it's duration. The seal's incredibly detailed and therefor requires plenty of time to make.

Name of Technique: String Light Layer Trap Technique
Type of Jutsu: Sealing, Trap, Utility
Rank:B
Radius: Up to 20 meters
Nature Type: N/A
Description:
Effectively someone laying layers of String Light Trap Technique upon each other, mimicing the effects of the Multiple String Light technique, but can be done solo. Incredibly effective at limiting one, or several opponents movements if the technique remains hidden until activation.

Name of Technique: Blooming Petal Blossom, Flying Sparrow's Dance
Type of Jutsu: Space Time Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu
Rank:S
Range:Melee – 10 meters.
Nature Type: Wind
Description:
After immoblizing an opponent, either with his sword, with traps or with an ally's help, Tapo throws his Petal Daggers in a pattern around the opponent, activating the seal on them as he throws them, allowing him to teleport between the four at will, at the cost of one Seed Seal per teleportation. Allowing him to build momentum over time while launching himself between the kunai, increasing his attack force several tens of times over, while also allowing him total unpredictability in regards to angles to attack from.

P O W E R S

^{"I beat death. Think you stand a chance?"}

Jason is a prime example of a human at their full physical and mental potential. He's stronger than an olympic athlete and smarter than most polymaths. While his attributes puts him off the charts for normal people and into the extraordinary, he is after all just Human. Having been brought back to life might have arguably enhanced his metabolism to their peak values, but it's almost impossible to know for sure.

W E A K N E S S E S

^{"That scar's my favorite."}

Jason Peter Todd is human. He bleeds if he's cut, and he'll die if he's shot enough times. While dying the first time didn't take, he probably will not come back a second time.

Jason's an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, but even in that regard he has his weaknesses. He's a sub-par swordsman, able to use a knife with great ease, but once people start swinging Katanas or sabres, he's left with little more than instinct and intuition.

His left flank's noticeably weaker than his right, partly because he was right handed for most of his life, but also due to a motorcycle accident in his teenage years.
He's a bit of a hothead and might act rashly, resulting in him using his fists in situations where his brains are his greater weapon.

S K I L L S

^{"It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears for me to get this far. Mostly others blood."}

Hand-To-Hand:
Krav Maga, Jujitsu, Karate and Kickboxing are all martial arts Jason has mastered over his life. He's also highly skilled in the Russian grappling art of systema as well as one mean son of a bitch with a knife in his hand. Jason's skills are the product of a lifetime spent on the streets of the east coast's most urban environments in the prescience of his father's gang. His constitution was hardened by the U.S Army Rangers, and then the CIA and ARGUS. And when one lifetime ended, he was reborn into the ranks of the All Caste, whom provided him with skills which would rival those of the League Of Assassins.

Marksmanship:
Todd turned out to be a natural sniper, and that's what got him into the special forces to begin with. His high intellect makes itself known when it comes to precision shooting, and while doing a 12 variable equation in the middle of a hotzone's fun and all, Jason prefers to get in close with an automatic rifle and a handgun.

Survival Skills:
When you are burned, you have nobody. He's learned how to take care of himself ever since he was young, becoming a member of the military enhanced the urban survival skills he had fostered on the road. He's a tested and true tracker, hunter and user of first-aid and basic and some advanced survival techniques.

Intelligence:
Jason's IQ's only overshadowed by his bench press. He posses a natural understanding of mathematics and problem solving, able to perform complex calculations on the fly. He's trained in spycraft, interrogation techniques and gathering intel have all become second nature to him. He's got a bachelor's in criminology, something his father made sure of before he was even 15.

Mystical Knowledge:
Jason has a rudimentary understanding, knowledge and experience of magic. Ducra would try to teach him her ways of how to manipulate the forces one couldn't see. Bend reality to one's will. While Jason saw the appeal, it was something he recognized he had no natural talent for and has no combat applications of the arts. Instead focused on learning how to deal with those that do have the talent he didn't.

Misc. Spycraft:
Jason's an excellent liar, conman and overall quite a grifter. Intelligence and counter intelligence is all a bit of a cat and mouse game for Mr. Todd. He's known to forge ID's, take on new identities or work out a number of different foils to reach his goals. He's got a long list of contacts in the intelligence community - even though most think him to still be dead.

The Biker Prince Of Gotham:
Willy Todd's one of the more ruthless - albeit not successful criminals in Gotham's history. An enforcer turned captain of a motorcycle club, Willis made the road his stomping grounds, and Jason's inherited that from his father. He's an excellent rider of most motorcycles, as well as cars. Prefer American muscle over imports. He's a talented and well trained mechanic, maker of ammunition, mostly slugs and pistol rounds and able to make most basic explosives used in urban gang warfare. Not to mention a wealth of knowledge of the criminal underworld.

Equipment

^{"Knives don't need reloading."}

Weapons: Jason has multiple caches across the east coast setup with military grade weaponry, and therefor can gear up for almost any situation with fairly short notice. Though, at any given moment, he'll be carrying a handgun, three knives, a snub-nosed revolver and a sawed off one-handed shotgun. A couple of explosives are most likely on his person, as well.

Armor:
Jason's jacket is made out of top quality carbon fiber, making it lighter, but just as durable as Kevlar. He wears a stabvest under his jacket and shirt. His gloves have titanium studded knuckles, while having carbon fiber reinforced portions, same goes for his pants and boots, making his ensemble about as durable as a fully armored SWAT officer.

Ballistic Hood:
The 'crown' of the leader of the Red Hood gang. Once upon a time, it was just a plexiglass cylindric helmet, but over the life of Jason's father, he changed the look of the Hood. The last hood Willis had made was a Next Gen Ballistic Keval-Carbon Fiber hybrid, capable of deflecting a rifle round at close range. The Hood's currently in possession of the one Jackson Adams, the acting captain of the Red Hood gang.

B I O G R A P H Y

^{"My name is Jason Todd. Or better known to the NSA, CIA, Homeland Security, FBI, KGB, Mossad and Interpol as the Red Hood."}

To tell the story of Jason Todd, one have to start with his father, John William "Willy" Todd. John was a small time criminal with big ambitions, he was hired muscle of the Gotham Mob by the time of Jason's conception. While his bride-for-the-night wanted to have an abortion, Willy made sure she didn't. Having an offspring filled the man with motivation and he carved his own path as the leader of a motorcycle club, starting the Red Devils, a chapel of Hell's Angels, and when Jason was born his mother wanted nothing to do with the child - more focused on getting her next shot of Heroin.

Jason was Willy's price. His legacy, and he taught everything he knew to the boy. As Jason grew, so did Willy's reach, by the time Jason was a toddler, Willy's gang was one of the biggest up and comers in Gotham. Jason took after his father in most aspects, yet it became clear pretty early that Willy held something other than just pride in the boy. Perhaps it was when the boy was better at Math than him, and only 7 years old. Or perhaps it was how Jason taught himself how to speak Spanish in one summer at 8. He began to feel a sense of dread towards the boy. This caused Willy to turn abusive towards Jason, beating him to 'make him strong' and teaching him that there's only two things to fear in the world. 'God and me, Boy.' Willy would tell him.

Jason grew up a criminal. Petty crimes at the start, but by the time he was 15 he was the prince of crime in the East Coast. People in the Suicide Slum, Crime alley and Queens knew, and feared the red-haired boy. His life took it's first big turn when he was 16. He and a couple of fellow young members of the Red Hood Gang, as it now had become known, were doing their first big score on their own.

Robbing a jewerly store. One of the other guys shot the guard and Jason got pinched making their escape. When held by the local PD, a man in a ten thousand dollar suit and almost as expensive sunglasses walked into the room and took over the line of questioning. He flashed his badge to the cops and disconnected the cameras in the interrogation room. The specifics of what was said in the room are unclear to this day. Only that he was impressed with the young man Most of what happened afterwards in Jason's life's classified.

It's known that he didn't set foot in Gotham for almost ten years afterwards. He's seen in a couple of photos of U.S Rangers basic training. He's named in some redacted reports about fire fights in Afghanistan, and it's known he did two tours in the middle east, once as a Ranger and once as part of some form of special operations. In between the two, he also spent a year in South America working against the Cartels down there, potentially working for the CIA.

During his second tour in the middle east, 3 years ago, Jason and his squad got involved in a local heroin smuggling ring and for reasons unclear to them at the time, they were all burned, and lost all of their safety net from the U.S Government. He and the rest of his unit was KIA by a suicide bomber near to the border of Iraq. Jason Todd was buried in a empty coffin at the Gotham National Cemetary, like his fellow Gothamites who died in the line of duty. His body had never been recovered and news spread of the young soldier's demise. Willy had a heart attack and began retiring from his life of crime soon after the news of Todd's demise.

Jason Todd was dead. But his story wasn't finished and fate had more left for the young man. He woke up in a pool of sickly green water, every part of his body feeling like it was on fire. He screamed, and he ran. He doesn't recall much else about the first few days. His first memories come from waking up in a dark room, one lone candle burning at the far end of the room, where a very old woman sat, watching the flame as if it represented his life.

She was Ducra, Ducra of the All Caste. And she was his savior.
He spent the next three years in Ducra's care. Learning from her, honing his skills to a level he couldn't have imagined before. News of his father's passing has drawn him out of his 'hiding' and back into the realm of the living. He has a birthright to claim and more than a few wrongs to right.

| A P P E A R A N C E: |

J'onn's appearance is technically ever changing. He can look like anyone, be anything. His physical being is not so important to him, it's more so a vessel for opening up opportunities.

| A B I L I T I E S: |

Martian Physiology:
J'onn is a Green Martian, which means he's of incredible physical but more so mental fortitude. His body is nigh indestructible from force trauma. His race's bodies are amongst the strongest in the universe, perhaps only beaten out by the likes of Kryptonians under the power of a yellow sun and the most powerful members of New Genesis. He's a shape shifter, an ability he is a master off, using it to enhance his other abilities whenever the need arises. His shape shifting is thusly not just a matter of disguise or the like, but rather a redistribution of his physical attributes. He needs to be faster, he molds his body into a more aerodynamic shape. He needs to be stronger? He changes his body's shape from one optimized for speed and telepathy into one with more muscles. He needs more horsepower for his telepathic or telekinetic powers? He enlarges his cranium and brain to allow for this. Due to this redistribution he's incredibly versatile and serves quite excellently as a Jack Of All Trades who can forgo his versatility for specialization.

J'onn's physical prowess is further enhanced by his abilities of Tactile Telekinesis, generating a nigh impenetrable forcefield around his skin, shielding him from harm. This allows him to easily withstand the pressure of Space without a suit, combined with his powerful lungs he can last in space for several hours. There are a few ways to get through the forcefield, the most obvious one is with enough force. A foe far more powerful than the Manhunter can penetrate it with brute force.

A powerful telepath who gets into his brain can deactivate the field by disrupting his seventh sense that governs the field - this is the prime way Martians commit murder on one another.

Unknown to J'onn, a sufficient burst of energy is also able to disable the forcefield, leaving his body vulnerable.

Lastly, and perhaps the most effective way is with fire. Martians have a ingrained both physical and psychological Pyrophobia. The fear of fire makes them let their defense down when cornered by fire and enter a state of defenselessness. Their bodies are also incredibly susceptible to fire once it penetrates the skin, and a Martian who has been put on fire is almost certainly facing a death sentence.

Physical Abilities:
J'onn's a heavyweight in every measurable way. His race is one of the physically most resilient, powerful and hard to deal with beings in the known universe. He's strong, fast and extremely durable. The Martians have very little interest in measuring their physical prowess and thus, his actual numbers are impossible to know. So far, he's never been hurt by someone who isn't a Martian and even then, a Martian on Martian brawl is almost futile as their bodies will take so long to take serious damage that a physical confrontation has no meaning. He's able to fly as fast as a spaceship and is more than capable of lifting one.
J'onn possesses incredible regenerative abilities thanks to his shape shifting and incredible physique. Short of being lit on fire, the Manhunter is virtually immortal.

Mental Abilities:
The Martian's true talent comes from their minds. They are incredibly powerful telepaths and it's their primary way of communicating with each other. J'onn took on his brother's telepathic abilities before they were born - giving him twice the power of an average Martian, leaving his brother with none. He's able to read other people's thoughts, communicate directly into people's psyche. He's able to be a relay between other people even without himself taking part in the conversation. He's even able to imprint ideas into someone's subconscious effectively controlling their mind. This is however an incredibly Taboo thing to do in Martian culture, and is only ever done against very dangerous criminals after they've stood trial. With his incredibly telepathic abilities comes almost as powerful telekinetic abilities. J'onn is able to move, manipulate and alter matter with nothing more than his mind exerting an equally great amount of force onto things this way, as he can with his fists, this also includes his innate Tactile Telekinesis and his forcefield projection, both of which are generated on a subconscious level. J'onn is able to enlarge the size of his field to protect others at the cost of making the field weaker as it stretches.

Density Manipulation:
Technically a part of his shape shifting, but Martians are able to alter their molecular structure with such finesse that they can phase through solid objects or appear completely invisible to the naked eye. When phasing only energy based attacks can hurt him, such as electricity or magic, as Plasma, ion and the like would just pass through him. He can utilize his powers in such a way to create intense heat around his body much the same way as he can create heat beams from his eyes, this is usually done around his hands to burn something.

Martian Vision:
Martians are able to project beams of energy from their eyes, either concussive or with heat, the heat vision is heresy in Martian culture and is a massive taboo. Martian Scientists have theorized that it's the remnant of an older evolutionary trait. They are able to see things at incredible distance and there's no such thing as a Martian with a vision impairment that isn't caused by an injury. They are not just able to see far, but also able to see small details rendering a microscope redundant.
Lastly, but not least, they are able to see the entire electromagnetic spectrum and use infrared vision, making it nigh impossible to sneak up on a Martian, even for another Martian with their invisibility.

| S K I L L S: |

Analytics - J'onn used to be in law enforcement, but he wasn't ever truly a Manhunter on Mars, not like his father or brother. He worked the files. A master of the red tape and the reach around of the Bureaucracy.

Fighter - J'onn is not much of a fighter. He joined the guerrilla at the start of the Burning Plague to fight against the White Martians, but even then he never really learned many skills when it came to the practice of hand-to-hand combat. As a bounty hunter his skills are slowly building but due to the sheer force held within his powers, he's got quite a wide buffer against many foes.

Investigation skills - J'onn's father was a Manhunter of the highest calibre, which in the Martian tradition means he was half police detective, half spy and half diplomat. J'onn is not the man his father was, nowhere close, but he is still an excellent detective.

Empathic Therapeutic Abilities - Very few have the natural ability to connect to another being the way J'onn can. It's not just because he can plug himself into someone else's mind, but thanks to his personality as a whole that makes him a man with a incredibly big heart who's bottom line is always to help.

Technology - J'onn is a bit of a dunce when it comes to tech. Well, compared to the average human, he's a super genius, but compared to the average martian, he's a bit of a grandpa. This leaves him often perplexed when faced with advanced technology on Mars. On planets less advanced than Mars, or even earth, J'onn's average-ness makes him look like a genius.

| U L T I M A T E I S M: |

He's gonna be Space-bound for all of the Season 2 episodes. He's not an Alien protecting Earth. He's a disgruntled survivor from a terrible fate on Mars. He's an exile, a freak and an outcast.
J'onn is a pacifist at heart, but has due to a cruel twist of fate been forced into violence. My iteration of the character lives up to the name of Manhunter, and his stories will predominantly be focused on hunting people and / or things. The stories I'm going to tell with be partly epic battles of good and evil, part nuanced stories where J'onn will have to test his convictions and his morales and part detective tales. He's by large a bounty hunter, one with more finesse than say, Lobo. Yet he's still a young being who's been thrown out of his home and has no more sense of belonging, desperately searching for a place to belong.
I want to tap into the essence of the character. Keeping him an idealist and a good heart while still putting him into some pretty epic conflicts. To keep him a stoic in a world that's, at times, a bit on the silly side - channeling a lot of Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy.
He's a being as powerful as Superman or Green Lantern, yet, he's often written as a mix between Professor X and Beastboy and I want to change that.

His arc will be very focused on him trying to deal with being away from his home and the memories of his loved ones. Eventually driving him back home to face what he fled on Mars and, if all goes well, become Earth's First Line Of Defense against it's greatest foe yet.

| E Q U I P M E N T: |

While J'onns clothes are made out of his biomass, he still carries a handful of pieces of equipment that his body cannot replicate

Bottle Of Xandar - A flask that holds 2 liters of water in it - about half a years ration for the Martian Manhunter. The water never goes bad while in the bottle.

Walkman Casette player - A Gift from his father, his brother had a matching one. Given to them by their father when he returned from a mission on Earth. J'onn was given two Johnny Cash albums, The Mystery Of Life and a non licensed "Best Of" collection, notable for containing the fabled 'Ring Of Fire' track. His brother, Ma'al got a copy of Appetite For Destruction By Guns N Roses.

M.4.R.V.1.N - A pursuit spaceship, a decommissioned police cruiser on a nearby planet to The Nexus. Jack gave it to him after J'onn beat him in a bet regarding the Martian's mind-reading capabilities.

Communication device - a tiny earpiece that let's him communicate via radio waves with those far away without having to impose his telepathy upon them.

| B I O G R A P H Y: |

J'onn was born 114 years ago on Mars, Ma'aleca'andra in the native's tongue, deep within the crust of the planet. He was a twin - something that only occurs once in six generations - approximately 4,000 years since the last. Ma'alefa'ak was his other half, Ma'al was a deformed baby, not just looking quite freakish, but he was born completely without psychic abilities, not unheard of in Martian culture, but certainly rare. J'onn on the other hand was born with incredible psychic powers, leaving biologists to theorize that J'onn sapped the powers from his twin before they were born, nothing was ever proven, leaving only speculation and a bitter taste in his brother's mouth.

J'onn and Ma'al grew up to be Manhunters, like their father, whom they lost somce 30 years ago in an attack from a small armed force from Apokalips whom attacked Mars, killing hundreds and torturing more Martians with their fire based weaponry. Ma'al and J'onn joined a joint military action between the Green and White martians, that laid the foundation for the Martian's ability to fight off the forces of the Warlord, Darkseid. After this, J'onn chose a life of peace. He joined the Telepathic Victim's Unit in the Manhunters, working behind a desk and with people, gathering information in order to solve Telepathic crimes on Mars. His brother however, went deeper and deeper into violence, for what he lacked in telepathic compassion, he made up for in physical violence.

J'onn married and had a daughter 10 years ago and for a time, life was good. Sure, he had lost contact with his brother whom had been on a off-world mission into the furthest deeps of the galaxy, but he was content and happy with life. This all changed when his brother returned to Mars. Ma'al brought with him talks about closing Mars's connection to the outside, shutting down their diplomatic efforts with Saturn and to completely close the planet off from making new contacts. He had seen proof that Apokalips was coming back, and they weren't stopping until all of the Milky Way was theirs. Mars had to take care of itself from now on and it would have to be the first and last line of defense against the flames of the hellish planet.

This caused an unrest in Martian society. It literally sparked into flames when a strange disease started spreading, killing hundreds of people everyday. A fire plague where a person's mind would be infected with vision's of fire, so severe they would burst into flames, burning till nothing but ash remains. J'onn tried to find the culprit behind it, but not even with all of his telepathic might could he find any trace of the source of the virus - the weapon. The use of fire helped Ma'al narrative about arming the world and the White and Green martians started an arms race in order to protect each race from the invading forces - the Fire Plague was certainly a weapon used by the invaders to dwindle their forces before an attack. J'onn came home one day from work, finding his wife and daughter under duress. Crying, their heads hurting, nausea and fading usage of their telepathy all signs of the curse. J'onn held them in his arms as they both burst into flames and he thought he'd join them soon. Once there was nothing more but ash left of the ones he loved, a clapping of hands came from behind him. His brother explained how he had orchestrated the whole thing - he had created the virus and he had given it to J'onn, to spread through martian society and destroy it from within, while making sure that their unique genetic makeup would be immune to the virus Why? Because J'onn took the one thing that's the most sacred to a Martian away from him - his telepathy. And now, Ma'al had done the same to his brother - he had taken the ones he loved, as the other Manhunters swarmed J'onn's house, arresting the two brothers. They would both be tried for conspiracy to commit genocide, 8006 different counts of murder in the first degree and Mars's biggest, most heinous act of terrorism. Things looked bleak for J'onn, and he looked like he'd end up joining his brother in the Psionic Prison, where their minds would be torn apart and put back together again for eternity. Thanks to a brave young girl who had had a direct insight into J'onn's mind, could testify that he knew nothing about his brother's treachery, and he was just as much of a victim as everyone else - J'onn got a different fate.

He was banished, never to return. Leaving a world at the brink of war - him not facing true punishment from his crimes pissed off many within the White martian's faction, causing a lot of civil unrest.
The Martian Manhunter has been alone for 18 months now and he's made his way to the furthest reaches of space. This, is where his story starts. In a little place called Knowhere.

| S A M P L E: |

"You know, life's not all roses and sunshine, right, J'onn?"

"So I've been told." The green Martian replied to the smiling bartender, prancing around behind the bar as if he had a pocket full of sunshine. "Like, for instance, today, Mok'Bar came in, drank four bottles of Raan Ale, and didn't pay me a single dime! The guts on the guy!"

"You want me to catch him?" J'onn asked, raising an eyebrow
"I couldn't afford your fee, pal." Jack said, laughing, J'onn doing the same. Jack poured two glasses of alcohol for them, handing the one glass to J'onn. "You do realize, this does nothing for me." He said, taking the drink.
"Hey, I like to keep trying to see if I can't make you a happy drunk." The bartender said with a smile.

"So, how did the last job go?"

"The man hopped his trial on Xandar, was on the run. I found him in a hotel room armed with enough firepower to take down an entire Police squad." J'onn spoke, with each word he painted a picture in Jack's head. It wasn't a infiltration or anything sinister - a passive telepathic link for J'onn to share his experience with Jack with as few words as possible.

"Oh?"

Jack saw the salmon skinned man pull a gun on J'onn. Fire at him four times - neither of them connecting, as J'onn held out his hand to him.

"It didn't go his way." J'onn said, somberly, while Jack could still see the images of the man breaking down - crying as J'onn grabbed him by his unarmed hand. They spent a couple hours talking. He packed up his weapons and let J'onn take him into custody. A quick image of J'onn transferring half of his paycheck for the bounty into the account of a Lawyer he knew, one that was known for doing his best to make the sentence less harsh on Xandar.

"You're unbeliveable, J'onn. You keep spending all of the money you make catching bad guys on helping them. That's pretty bad business for you."

"Jack, I barely need food or drink. I've got little interest in worldly possession's. My only interest is in helping people. Protecting people from the ones rotten to the core, and helping those that need a second chance. Any money I spend on showing a broken soul there's still kindness in the world is a worthy investment."

_______________________________________________ Marcus Nathaniel Weston _______________________________________________ 17 | ♂ | Heterosexual _______________________________________________ Physical Profile ___________________________________ [+] //Basics: • Height | 6 foot, 1 inch. • Weight | 176 lbs • Ethnicity | Caucasian • Hair Colour | Brown • Eye Colour | Green //Piercings/Tattoos/Scars: • Example | Description Abilities, Skills and Resources ___________________________________ [+] //Abiliites: • Hyperhuman Ability | Gravity Manipulation: Marcus is able to manipulate the force of gravity on himself and in areas around him. This means lowering the local gravity or increasing it for desired effects. More notably, though, Marcus is able to change the direction of the gravity in a more central area around himself, allowing him to for instance make Gravity pull you upwards - away from the planet, rather than to the ground. He does this by supercharging the Graviton in the air and clustering them together, each of these clusters causes a greater gravitational pull than that of the planets. This can for instance be used to feign a simpler, less agile form of telekinesis, as he can move things by moving the cluster the thing is moving towards. Marcus has an internal gravoscope that protects him largely from the negative affects of altering gravity on the human body, by internalizing gravitons he's able to subvert most of the organ-crushing, spine-shattering aspects of changing the hold of gravity on the human body. • Limitation(s) | Marcus has only ever displayed increasing gravity slightly, having more success in moving it's hold, or loosening it. His powers are always entirely centralized on himself, making him able to manipulate how gravity affects him, and a small area around him naturally, generating clusters to move other things is a lot harder and requires intense concentration, making his powers not particularly fit for offensive capabilities at this time. • Weakness(es) | While Marcus's body's resistance to the dangers of gravity's enhanced, he's far from immune. Odds are, his powers are gonna hurt him a lot more than they would hurt anyone else. His powers offers him no superhuman attributes, he's just as vulnerable to getting shot, burned, stabbed, crushed, smacked or humiliated as anyone else. //Skills: • Science: | Physics in particular. Marcus has a natural fascination with physics and math, probably due to how vital it is to his life and everyday living. Science is his strongest subject amongst a whole pile of A+'s. Soccer: | Marcus has played soccer for as long as he can remember - his father took him to Europe a lot as a kid, and that's where he initially learned to love the sport. Politics: | Marcus is, and has been for 3 years straight, the Class Rep and with this year looks like he's going to become student body president. His father's big into politics, and so was his mom, so it's always been important to him. Hyperhuman weaponry: | Marcus's father - Nathan is one of the leaders in anti-Hype weaponry and was one of the first to mass manufacture the Restriction Collars and incubation holding cells that today have become the standard in fighting Hyperhuman dissidents. Marcus certainly doesn't know the entirety of the inner workings of these tools, but he knows more about them than the average 17 year old. Judo: | Marcus has studied Judo in his free time for the past eight years. He's a brown belt. //Paraphenalia: • Phone | Latest model Smartphone. • Mustang GT 2014 | A couple year old model Mustang GT. • Inhibitor Bracelet | Electron bracelet that suppresses his abilities that he's worn for the past four years. Of his father's company's design. Looks like a smartwatch.

Appearance Details ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Marcus is tall, well built and fairly handsome in a boyscout kind of way. Nobody would think that Marcus is a bad boy, and they'd be right for doing so. His life's been pretty good. He comes from good money, his father is incredibly successful and he's a driven, well taken care off young man. It's plain to see all of these things in the way he carries himself, the way he talks and the way he dresses. His style's comprised of good brand clothes, nothing too fancy but nothing shabby, either. Jeans, T-shirt, hoodie, jacket. He doesn't wear any piercings and has no tattoos currently. Character Synopsis ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Marcus is a rather straight forward, popular and morally upstanding young man. People call him 'boyscout' on occasion. He is by the book and very responsible and reliable. This is kind of contradictory to his background in the top 1 percent, his father a billionaire and his mother a lawyer before her death when Marcus was a child. Marcus isn't a particularly spoiled young man, perhaps due to the humble pie he's been served more than once. His father's job makes Marcus's identity as a Hyperhuman quite the issue and reflects poorly on his father's work and stature. Marcus is a Straight A student, captain of the soccer team and class president for all of his years in a row and this year is hoping to become Student body president. Well, that was before this summer when his bracelet broke and he accidentally used his powers during judo practice. No one was hurt, so his only punishment was a fine for doing so. Him quickly being outed as a hyperhuman has started a chain reaction of negative events on his life that's only started. He's joining the class because he wants to build a support network of other Hypes. He's in a position of power, financially and socially where him outing himself as a Hype has a lesser effect than it would have on others in less fortunate situations. He's trying to become a pillar in a community his family's directly opposed to and wants to work for Hyperhuman rights in society - thinking this is a good place to start. Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Simply put, Marcus is a friendly, helpful and kind young man. He's got little intention of hurting anyone and cares about other people in a genuine, non fabricated way. He's a bit childish and playful and isn't above pulling pranks on people in good spirits. His one downfall is social situations is perhaps that he's too nice. His non partisan way of thinking and ideas of truth and justice might make him seem bland in a world of edgy people with very polarized opinions. He believes in protecting the weak, helping those who are down and doing everything in his power to make tomorrow a little better than today. Miscellaneous ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ His fur allergy makes him not much of an animal lover. Plays quite a bit of Super Smash Melee, well, Project M, technically.

Appearance Details ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ The words 'Tall, dark and handsome' might never have been much truer for someone other than Joseph since the times of Achilles. People have asked him more than once if he's the secret child of Brad Pitt. His blond hair was once long enough to almost reach his shoulders but has recently been cut short. Joseph is known for wearing 'casual' clothes, even to his workplace where other people wear a suit or at least a sporty jacket or a collared shirt, Joe will more likely than not show up in a pair of regular fit Jeans and a V-neck T-shirt, appearing a lot less professional than his peers in the local PD, even if his accomplishments on the force speaks quite the contrary. Joseph's looks have been drastically altered in the past three months. Most noticeable is the metallic golden hue his once hazel eyes have taken, replacing their comforting warmth with a inhuman coldness. He's got a wide and nasty looking scar reaching around his head from his right temple back to back of his skull, separating his hair on both sides, some of his joints have been reinforced with metal. He's got a tattoo on his right hand, a skeletal hand that reaches out onto the knuckles on the fingers. The initials K.S on his left wrist. His ears are pierced, though he does not wear jewelry in them. He has an older scar just about his heart from a bullet wound. Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Joseph is a man of action, not to say that he's not one for thinking before acting - his thoughts always serve a clear goal. He doesn't spend his time contemplating something before doing it, instead jumping in head first as soon as he's examined the problem and will pull the proverbial trigger as soon as he has the shot. Not a totally irrelevant metaphor to his career and professional life. Joe wanted to become a soldier his entire life ever since he was a kid - he was the guy who while he was good at football and basketball, had good grades and his pick of colleges when he graduated High School, he still relished being on hall monitor duty. Joseph signed up to join the military as soon as he had graduated and was put through basic training for the army, he immediately distinguished himself as a sharpshooter. He was sent off to the sandbox for two months before returning home without having been put onto any real assignments, and he was put into the reserve forces. Frustrated with the military, he pursued the closest thing and joined the police academy. He spent three years in SWAT as a sharpshooter, but even after getting shot on duty he was back at his job as soon as he was able to get out of the hospital bed. That's all to say that Joseph Dark is a man who stands by what he believes, and he's more than willing to fight for it, somtimes too much, as this was perhaps the biggest reason for his short marriage with Karen Summers. Joe's made out of a stronger moral fiber than most of the Santa Celia police and has been one to actively work against the corruption that plagues the ranks of the PD. Going as far as to arrest his partner after it was revealed to him that David was on the Mob's take. Joseph's an individual with many layers, at first glance he's a renegade cop who only cares about getting bad guys - not following the rules, who believes the ends justifies the means. But on the other hand, he's a man who's favorite kind of literature is poetry, his favorite writer's Bob Dylan and his favorite movie's a romantic comedy starring Joseph Gordon Levitt and Seth Rogen. He spends his off time painting, watching cartoons and eating strawberry ice cream whenever he can.

_{Character Synopsis
^{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}}

There is a certain truth to the idea that nobody who comes from a happy home wants to join the military, and it holds true for Joseph, too. His mother was of Ecuadorian descent, his father off Italian from the east-coast. His paternal grandparents had moved to the states after the war, his father Vito, was the youngest of five siblings with quite the age difference between him and his siblings.
His father was a jazz musician and his mother, Maria, was a nurse. He was raised catholic, all though he quickly realized once he started coming into adolescent that he didn't actually believe in God, and even less so in the teachings the Father would preach to him and his family.

Him voicing this to his father started to tear a bit of a rift between the two, furthered by his father's absence due to working at many clubs and constantly being 'one gig away from making it big' and whenever Vito was home he was in a bad mood and often drunk. Maria worked many hours at the local hospital. It wasn't till Joseph was 11 or so that his father became physically abusive - it started one saturday night at dinner when Joseph told him that he didn't want to go to church. He didn't "want to waste his time listening to some senile old man babbling on about his imaginary friend". This earned him at first a slap from his father and cursing in Italian. But once his mother stepped in to protect him, his father lost his temple, and Joseph got his face dunked against the kitchen table knocking out his last milk tooth.

The beatings where irregular, but still consistent. Whenever Vito got in a bad mood and Maria wasn't home, Joseph would get hit - and the older he got and the worse paying gigs Vito got, the more severe the beatings got. Joseph had a pretty normal schooling, despite this. He spent a lot of his time away from his family because of his father's abuse and his mother's turning a blind eye to it. Spending most of his time at various extra circulars, such as football, basketball and even theater.

Joseph left home as soon as he graduated high school, signing up to join the military where he was trained to be a sharpshooter. He was deployed for only three months before being sent home. 'The war was over'. So he had to find another war, one on the home front. He attended police academy while studying a two year degree in criminal science. He graduated with good grades and joined the police force as a beat cop, but due to his training he didn't spend more than a few weeks on patrol before he was assigned to special forces, the SWAT.

He spent four years on the SWAT till he was 26 years old, working primarily in the Los Angeles area, being a part of some drug related busts and several sieges on the Santa Celia - Mafia. He got shot by a perp their recon hadn't spotted, a 15 year old with a world war 2-era pistol. The kid never made his way down the stairs from the room the sharpshooter had been shot in before he was full of lead from the other Swat members.

Joseph recovered from his injury rather quickly and had no issues getting back into the field - but he wanted to a change. He didn't want to be the soldier anymore who shot who he was told to shoot. He wanted to be a detective. Said and done, he was transfered into the Santa Celia police department into Homicide Division and would spend the past few years solving murders, focusing his efforts on the Santa Celia Mafia, a choice that lead him to his demise.

_{Abilities & Skills
^{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}}

_//Abiliites:

Enchanted Cyborg Of Hell | Joseph is a man with a pact. He's the tether of the Archdemon Mephisto, he's the combination of the darkest of magics and the most experimental of science. His body is technically aided by an army of nanites rebuilding him, making him stronger. He's armed with several cybernetic implants that are supposed to save his life. But his body's the house of two souls. The mortal and the demon. Mephisto manipulated the good doctor into finding Joseph and saving his life was but the most notable of his many tricks. Joseph is now the wielder of an incredibly powerful source of magic, the soul of Mephisto.

Cybernetic Augmentation:
Joseph lost his left hand when he was murdered. His severe beating also ruined several of his joints that had to be replaced artificially. Joseph's armed with state of the art, highly experimental and military grade prosthetics. He's got prosthetics in his elbows and knees, as well as ankles and his right wrist, connecting the robotic hand to his arm. He's got reinforced plates in his chest. This, combined with the nanites that are improving his natural healing makes him stronger than he used to be, stronger than any human. His robotic hand is bulletproof and highly resistant to fire, acid and water. His brain has also been 'upgraded' with microchips that allow him the specialized computing power of a supercomputer, improving his real time calculus, essentially improving his reaction speed and hand to eye coordination.

Magic:
Joseph is not a sorcerer, he's not a wizard and he's not even an acolyte of the occult. Hell, he barely believes it exist and he's got it living inside of him. But Joseph is the host of one of the most powerful demons in existence and that symbiosis doesn't come without it's perks. Magic requires energy, and Joseph is sitting on a massive powerbank that he just needs to figure out how to use. Mephisto's both a near infinite source of energy, he's also more than willing to teach Joseph how to use the magic he's housing. Of course, no such power comes without a price.



Limitation(s) | Joseph isn't a Superman. He's an Enhanced Individual, he's certainly outperforming a regular human, but even though he could beat any human in a arm-wrestling contest, doesn't mean that he'd be able to beat them in a combat scenario. Tactics and training could certainly give someone the edge over the Demon Cyborg.

Joseph's a righteous man who's fighting with a demon for his eternal soul while struggling with the idea that he's becoming more machine than human.

Weakness(es) | Joseph's been shot in the head and hung on the edge between living and dead and when he came back, he brought a lot of baggage with him. Nobody gets to beat death without earning a few scars. He's angry, confused and scared and hasn't adjusted to his new life at all. Playing Mephisto against Joseph, and the inverse is highly exploitable and their symbiotic relationship is suseptible to outside abuse. That is, if they aren't already squabbling.

_//Skills:

Martial Arts | Boxing, Judo and Wrestling are all things he's gotten official training in since he was a teenager. He also trained MMA at the police academy and while he was with the SWAT. He's a formidable fighter and more than capable of holding his own when push comes to shove.
Marksmanship | Joseph is an excellent shot with a firearm, he prefers a high caliber rifle and a scope, but he's accomplished with a handgun or assault rifle, too. His longshot ability has been future enhanced thanks to his cybernetic upgrade.
Ambidextrous | Joseph is technically left handed, but his father made sure he'd know how to use both hands for everything. It's been further enhanced in his combat training and further reinforced thanks to his now much stronger right hand than left.
Acting | Joe's a theater nerd. He played Hamlet in high school and has done a few amateur plays in his adult life. It helps him cool off after a long day and lets him relax.

CENTRAL CITY ♦ THAWNE DYNASTY}

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:

Well, let's start with the obvious - This isn't Barry Allen. It's Thawne whom at the start of the RP will be very much like an amalgamation of his Post Crisis- New 52, Rebirth and Arrowverse counterpart. Thawne and Barry have been fighting in the Neutral Speedforce - created after Barry absorbed the Negative Speedforce, for a near infinite time. Their battle has raged on through all of time, but eventually comes to a conclusion in the present day, two months before Barry Allen would get struck by lightning. Barry is dead and Thawne is all but powerless.

Thawne is stranded in the present, he's achieved his lifelong dream - he should be content. A skip and a jump into the future and he can conquer all of time. Not quite so easily, him killing Barry has severely shaken the Speedforce and it's going to collapse on itself, for if there's no Flash, there is no Speedforce. Thawne is forced to become what he hates more than anything - he has to recreate Barry's experiment, in his place. He has to forever deal with the fact that he killed Barry Allen, and now, he'll have to take his place in history.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:

---

Thawne's stuck in the past - irreversably. He's powerless upon defeating Barry Allen, the speedforce is in pieces and he's all tapped out of energy. Barry's never gonna become The Flash because Thawne and him destroyed the speedforce. Thawne will have to regain a fraction of his powers by taking Barry's place in the night of the particle accelerator explosion, and then he can get the hell out of this savage timeline and enjoy his victory.

When he realizes that's not gonna happen - that time's not gonna let him, he's forced a hard pill to swallow. Time does not work without The Flash. His own existence, and in fact, the existence of the whole universe is at stake if he does not take Barry's place. Thawne hates every second of it, but he has to retrace every step Barry took during his time as the Flash, starting from the very beginning. Thawne uses the help of the super computer Gideon to monitor the timeline, to make sure he's on the right course.

Life's got a weird way of taking you for a ride. One day, you're fighting your archnemesis for eons. You've seen the birth of a solar system, and the death of several during the battle. You've lived endless lifetimes in a bizarre, 360 degree war zone where from every flank, someone who wears yours - or your enemy's face comes swinging at you. You've hurled lightning bolts the size of stars and you've hit each other with enough power to pierce through a planet.

Yet, it ends, almost as it began. In a field in the suburbs, a few hundred meters from the house where his life began, and so did yours, in a way. It ends in the pouring rain, the worst thunderstorm in 50 years had swept over Central City, and you can't help but feel like it was your doing. Everything slowed down, not in the hyperspeed way it normally does, but in a way I haven't felt since I was a child. My hand vibrating through his heart, he's paralyzed, surprised and terrified, my hand vibrates in unison with his heart and for a split second, my red eyes meet his and I almost feel sad that it's over. His heart explodes and tears a hole through his chest. I don't get to do more than a few moments of celebratory joy - I had after all finally done it. I had killed The Flash. Nobody would ever stop me again.

That's what I thought. His body hadn't even gotten cold before the speed force swallowed him. It ate him up. And it was coming for me next. Without The Flash, the timeline's a lot less willing to allow paradoxes to exist. The speedforce was falling apart. It needed a new host - a new beacon. Luckily, I had landed on the day of the Particle Accelerator explosion. The day Barry Allen became the most hated man in history. I have seen it countless times, I'd held a knife to his throat, I've planted explosives, I've been about to break his neck.

I've taken everything from him. His wife, his mother, his children and now, even his life. But I had never taken his lightning. Not until now.

My name is Eobard Thawne, and I am, without a doubt, the fastest man of all time.

"My name is Barry Allen, and I'm the fastest man alive. When I was a child, I saw my mother killed by something impossible. Then an accident made me the impossible. To the outside world, I'm just an ordinary forensic scientist, but secretly I use my speed to fight crime and find others like me, and one day, I'll get the man who killed my mother, I'll get justice for my friends, my father and for Iris. I am the Flash."

Lighting struck the ground outside of the suburbs of Central City, The Streaks as the suburb was called, less than a mile off a very peculiar house in the story of our hero. The house where all of this had begun a number of years ago that to him was impossible to know. It was where all of this started, really. Even if he was but a boy then, it was the defining moment in his life. Being this close to that place made his body surge with new power, new purpose. His body that moments ago - in a different time - had felt like it was losing it's power had now become reinvigorated. He was running. God, he was always running. But he was never alone, not anymore. Before, he would've had friends, loved ones, or her by his side, but now, he had the devil on his heels. The same lightning bolt that had struck the ground struck the same place again and behind him he appeared. His dark passenger, his reflection. His shadow.

His Reverse, The man in Yellow came out gritting his teeth, his eyes glowing sharply red as he grappling for the hero. He was narrowly dodged and then counter attacked, a swing towards his yellow-clad face, as their blurry arms collided, lightning rang all around them and what had a second ago been a small storm was now quickly growing into a massive hurricane. Nature knew full well that these weren't simply two men fighting. It wasn't a squabble, and it wasn't even a rivalry anymore. It wasn't a feud between two sprinters, a tug of war between opposites.

It was a battle between titans, a war between two forces of nature. An effort to put an end to the unanswerable question - what if two unstoppable objects collide. They traded blow after blow, moving in circles and every time they did, lightning struck them and another pair of them appeared. They didn't say anything to each other, but they both knew it.

This was the end. It ends tonight. Soon, they had occupied the entire field they were one, a red and a yellow blur moving faster than anyone in the world could comprehend, unleashing enough power that if it wasn't absorbed by the other could've caused catastrophic damage to the surroundings. A kick, a lightning spear was thrown, a velocity barrier was made, they phased at different frequencies, moving through one another, they pulled out all of their stops here and now, using every little bit of all of their might. Finally, The Flash saw an opportunity. A lightning bolt to the Man in Yellow's that he could not parry, he took a few meter's leverage to gain enough speed to hit him with enough energy to end this once and for all. But as his fist was about to collide with the paler man's face, it was over.

All the battles on the field stopped then, as if the entire world stopped.

His hand was shaking, trembling. They were moving at all but normal speed all of a sudden, consumed by what was happening. In the middle of the army of Yellow and Red fighting, there were the pair of them. Flash's fist colliding with Zoom's face, yet, Zoom's hand vibrating through Flash's heart.

"I win."

"You will never win, Thawne." He said with a pained grin, as the red duplicated began exploding into bright glow, absorbed back into the speedforce. Thawne pulled off Barry's cowl, and then took off his, revealing his graying blond hair, matching Barry's full head of gray. He leaned over to Barry, letting him rest one arm over his shoulder, as he leaned in closer. "I win, Flash. I beat you." As he pulled his hand out of Barry's chest leaving a gaping hole as he had vibrated the organs into dust. Barry fell to the ground, his blood splattering all over Thawne's yellow suit.

The Reverse Flash pulled up his cowl again and began laughing, hysterically and manically. He had finally won. He had finally showed that idiot Barry Allen that he was the fastest. He had taken everything that was important to Barry, and now, he had even taken his life.

Gideon's voice spoke softly in his ear.

"Thawne, sir. The timeline's becoming unstable. Your defeat over Mr. Allen must have shaken the speedforce. This timeline is becoming highly volatile, I am detecting anachronisms all over time. Get out of there."

"I'll go wait it out in the negative speedforce. This timeline can go to hell." Thawne said with a smile, as he began running, seemingly a lot slower than he was used to. "Gideon, I am.. Slow." His voice couldn't hide the euphoria he felt, still, but his pragmatism stopped him from celebrating. He was powerful, but even he couldn't survive time collapsing on itself.

"It would seem that your body's connection to the speedforce has been severely damage from your battle. You are essentially out of fuel. You need a recharge of dark matter, Professor. Thawne" The female voice informed him and Thawne smirked, seeing the particle accelerator in the distance exploding.

"I know just the place."

Speeding into the CCPD's loft, the forensics lab, he saw a young Barry Allen climbing onto a shelf to grab some chemicals. Thawne non-nonchalantly pushed him off the ledge with the remainder of his speed - taking Barry's exact place as the lightning bolt came through the window, surging through him.

He headed back outside - into a Central City in chaos. Thawne never got tired of seeing all of the mayhem this night caused, no matter how many times he had to see it. He still felt slow, but not as slow as before. The timeline was still deteriorating, and certain objects were melting away. A lamppost, a fire hydrant, cars, even some people were being turned into nothingness.

"That's my cue to leave." He sprinted as fast as he could, breaking into the barrier of the speedforce.. But it was no refuge for him, instead, he was immediately pushed out of it, landing on his face.

"What do you mean I'm not allowed to?! DO you not know who I am?!" he yelled in anger, as the portal closed again.

Feeling how time got even more unstable, Thawne's fist pierced the ground. "Fucking FINE!" he cried out in his fury, his fist summoning a lightning strike as it shattered the concrete under it. He climbed to his feet, and time stopped collapsing, seemingly.

"Gideon. Find me Edward Thawne."

In 1972, a man by the name Charles Xavier brought together a group of gifted individuals in order to share a dream with the world. This group would become known to the general populace as the X-Men. While their gifts are varied, the one thing that ties the X-Men together is that they are all mutants. A subspecies of humans who are born with superhuman abilities, the X-Men fight for peace and equality between normal humans and mutants in a world where antimutant bigotry is fierce and widespread.

Realizing his dream would take years to accomplish, Xavier or Professor X founded the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. Located in Westchester County, New York, the Institute or as its commonly referred to, the X-Mansion is the home and training site of the X-Men. The X-Men are recruited from around the world and any mutant in need of asylum is welcomed through its doors. Dozens of mutants from various countries and diverse backgrounds have held membership as X-Men through the years since Xavier's founding with the original five.

In recent years the X-Men have fell upon hard times, losing numerous members and being involved in near world wide cataclysmic events. Among these losses was Charles Xavier himself, the vision and guiding light of the school. However, the Institute still continues to operate as Xavier's students have stepped up to continue their mentor's dream, rescuing and recruiting new mutants such as yourself as often as they can.

The world of the X-Men has fallen apart in the last couple decades. With both Apocalypse and the Dark Phoenix keeping mutants fresh in the minds of the public, the X-Men and mutants as a whole have a very negative press image. Even among the superhuman community, the X-Men are regarded as pariahs having no contact with S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers or even the Fantastic Four. As such, the X-Men are forced to work covertly in their day to day operations. Any rescue mission or removal of rogue mutant has to happen under the radar or else they could end up in direct conflict with Captain America himself.

In order to accomplish their goals, the X-Men have two active teams. The X-Force is the covert strike team used to take out rogue mutants or oppose the numerous Brotherhood sects that have popped up in the wake of Magneto's death. Led by Alexander Summers (Havok), the team consists of Betsy Braddock (Psylocke), Lorna Dane (Polaris), Shiro Yoshida (Sunfire), Arthur Centino (Longshot) and Laura Kinney (X-23). The other team is simply known as the X-Men, the official representation for the school. This team is sent out to recruit newly emerging mutants and rescue those who are oppressed in their lives because of their mutation. Led by Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler), the current X-Men team is made up of Samuel Guthrie (Cannonball), Jean-Paul Beaubier (Northstar), Roberto Da Costa (Sunspot), Hope Spalding (Hope), Clarice Ferguson (Blink), Theresa Rourke Cassidy (Siryn) and James Proudstar (Warpath).

Once rescued by the X-Men, new recruits and students are delivered to the Xavier Institute of Higher Learning. Since the passing of Charles Xavier, the school has elected a new headmaster. Robert Drake (Iceman), one of Charles' first students has taken over as Headmaster of the Institute. Like Drake himself, the faculty is made of former X-Men who have all dedicated their lives to teaching and guiding new students. This faculty consists of the following:

■ Alison Blaire (Dazzler) | Music, Art, Life Sciences, and Drama
■ Sean Cassidy (Banshee) | Mathematics, Finance, and Accounting.
■ Emma Frost (White Queen) | Recruiter/Admissions, English, Business, and Ethics
■ Anne Marie LeBeau (Rogue) | English, Linguistics, Business, and Psychic Defense
■ Rémy LeBeau (Gambit) | Training/Danger Room Monitor, Target Practice/Projectile Practice, Sex-Ed
■ Hank McCoy (Beast) | Guidance Counselor, Science, Mathematics, Philosophy
■ Katherine Pryde (Shadowcat) | Computer Science Classes, Ethics, Student Advisor
■ Piotr Rasputin (Colossus) | Close Quarter Combat, Elective Leadership and Tactics
■ Warren Worthington (Archangel) | Recruiter, Business, Consumer Law Classes, as well as a flying class for those students with flight powers.

Aside from those still active, there are several other former X-Men still alive and scattered around the world. The most notable of these is Ororo Munroe T'Challa, formerly Storm of the X-Men and currently queen of Wakanda, living in Africa with her husband T'Challa, the former Avenger, Black Panther. Both James Howlett, or Logan the Wolverine and Scott Summers left the Institute after the death of Jean Grey. Logan began to suffer a mental break down and fled to the Canadian North West Territories, reverting to his feral state. Scott on the other hand began to sink into depression, finding solace in the bottom of a bottle. While he returns to the Institute every now and then, Scott is a shell of the man he used to be, seldom sober and often losing most of his money to sleazy shapeshifters.

Elsewhere, Raven Darkhölme and Pietro Maximoff have decided to continue what they believe is Magneto's Legacy and unite the Brotherhood sects. While most of the Brotherhood's associates are unknown to the X-Men, several notable foes still the ranks. These known associates include Victor Creed (Sabertooth), Angel Salvatore (Angel) and Akhiro (Daken). One notably missing member however is the daughter of Magneto, the Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff who is currently missing. Wanda disappeared after the Apocalypse crisis and hadn't been seen since her time as a horseman.

1. In Character Rules

1. IN CHARACTER RULES:

[1.01]You are your character, so act like them. Create or portray their mannerisms, powers, and ideals to how they have been established in the game. BE the character, not just yourself with the character's powers. The notes section of your CS has been provided for such a reason, use it to help yourself remain consistent in character portrayals.

[1.02] Writing expectations for this roleplay are at least a two (2) paragraph minimum per post. Three (3) to five (5) paragraph posts however would be awesome so long as you're not simply chewing the scenery. Proper spelling and grammar is also expected but small mistakes here and there are understandable. Blatant offenses will be called out.

[1.03] You are encouraged to post at least once per week. If there are any outside factors as to why you aren't able to post, please let the GMs know. If you find yourself in a plot with another player and they disappear, do your best to move on without them and quickly finish the arc to the best of your ability, or ask for the help of a GM. If you stop posting for two (2) weeks without a message in the OOC, your character will be listed as 'inactive', and after a further week of inactivity, your characters will be expelled, and dealt with as necessary in the IC, whether killed or used as needed and then discarded. Please if you know you’re going to be absent or simply have lost interest in the RP, just let the GM know.

[1.04] No God-Modding or metagaming. This refers to controlling or manipulating another player's character in way that is completely self-beneficial and not pre-approved by the other player. This also includes being untouchable against NPC characters as well as being all knowing. Keep your character humanized or risk being expelled from the RP.

[1.05] PC's are not to be killed without permission. Nameless NPC's are fine, but PC's or important NPC's will require authorization by their creator.

[1.06] This is a Character Driven RP, and as such you are encouraged and expected to take charge of your character's sub-plots and storylines. That said, there will be a heavy emphasis on collaborative activities and team building as well. The GMs will be leading the RP in the traditional sense with a driving plot and will ensure the RP keeps moving however we do want to see you develop your characters and produce your own plots. However we don't want to see you lock your character out of interaction and focus solely on your character and their 'world'. No one enjoys watching you play with yourself, it's always better to let someone else join in on the fun.

[1.07] Absolutely no 'OOC' chatter in the In Character Thread. If you have a question or anything to explain there is an Out Of Character Thread provided. You have no excuse to make an 'OOC' comment in the IC and if done it will be heavily frowned upon.

[1.08] Plots should not be completed in one or two posts. Your character should not be able to stop an entire robbery by themselves or put out a city block on fire with relative ease. That said obviously different power levels do apply so if you do manage to put out the fire, solve the cause of it. If you stop the robbery find out who hired the gang or what their motives were. If all else fails do some character development or show us some ‘Slice of Life’ moments for you character if you do solve a plot quickly.

2. Out Of Character Rules:

2. OUT OF CHARACTER RULES:

[2.01] Respect the Game Masters. The GMs' words are to be adhered, please don't argue or disregard them unnecessarily. If a GM asks you to stop doing something please do it. Likewise if a GM asks you to change something in your post please do it. Failure to adhere to any GM or Moderator requests will result in expulsion from the game.

[2.02] Respect the other players. Constructive criticism is fine, but flaming or trying to run players off just because you don't like the way they do things is not okay. Remember, it's the GM's job, not yours, to point out if there's a problem. If you feel that there is a problem, then contact a GM directly.

[2.03] Likewise any quarrels will be dealt with by the GMs. Don't take them out in the OOC, arguments should be dealt with between the two parties through private messaging. If the involved parties truly can't solve their issues a GM can act as an arbiter upon request.

[2.04] No GIF Wars. This is a thread for discussion of the roleplay, its characters and plots. This is not a Spam Thread. Chat is allowed and encouraged but within reason, please try not to fill the OOC with numerous pages that have little to nothing to do with the roleplay itself. An active OOC generally means an active roleplay so feel free to chat up your fellow players about characters and events in the RP.

3. Character Creation Rules:

3. CHARACTER CREATION RULES:

[3.01] You can create any superhuman mold you want with tact. All invincible superhumans or obvious imitations of DC or Marvel titles will be judged harshly. Note that you an be inspired by another DC character and/or related but I don't want to see a carbon copy. Remember that the world is not accepting of mutants and no matter what abilities you have, you will be consider a freak.

[3.02] In line with above rule, do not make your character well rounded, give them weaknesses and flaws. Limitations in their skills and abilities, reasons to make them need a team to support them. Additionally, give your character room to grow and develop. It's always fun to have a new power show up down the line, just give the GM a heads up first so it doesn't look like you're godmodding. Powers should fall into a specific niche, look at Shadowcat, Cyclops and Jean Grey. All their abilities are limited to a specific spectrum, we want you to do the same.

[3.03] While 'legacy' characters are allowed, you'll need to ensure they don't contradict any of the above mentioned lore. Furthermore we ask that not everyone apply as a legacy character, original characters are encouraged. Legacy characters will be under harsher scrutiny than original characters.

[3.04] Character sheets will not be accepted until the GMs have had time to look over the CS thoroughly. This not only ensures that we the GMs have time to read through Character Sheets appropriately but also that you the Player are receiving proper critique as well as a solid community to interact with in the In Character Threads. We appreciate your patience with this. Character sheets will also not be accepted based on a first come basis, but rather on who the GM feels will be best for the RP. That said, there will be a window for applicants, after this window, character acceptance will be closed until such a time as the RP requires new players.

[3.05] All Character Sheets must be submitted to the GMs in the provided or similarly laid out format. Character Sheets which do not use an organized skeleton will be rejected and asked to comply with a standard. Displays of impatience towards acceptance will result in an immediate denial. The GMs have lives outside of RPG and may have their time restricted during the week and/or weekend. Have patience and a positive attitude and you will receive a response.

[3.06] Character Sheets are to be posted in the OOC Thread for review and once accepted posted in the Character Thread. At the end of your sheet, please write your (not your character's) favourite beverage. Failure to comply with these rules will delay your acceptance as you obviously did not read through the rules and therefore can not be trusted to adhere to those laid out for the OOC and IC threads. Additionally, do not announce this rule or hint towards it within the OOC. If someone can't read the rules for themselves, they likely can't read the IC and we don't want their kind here.

[3.07] Forbidden abilities include the following: Blood Manipulation, Darkness Manipulation, Time Manipulation and any Reality Altering ability. As a safe guard, any ability that requires you to mod/get permission from another player would also be rejected. Abilities will be reviewed on a case by case basis of course but please think before applying. I'm all for being unique but don't choose abilities solely for that reason.

[3.08] Failure to adhere to any of the character creation rules will lead to rejection of the application with a citation of the broken rule(s). Permission to re-apply will be given on a case by case basis depending on the rule(s) broken and the quality of the application. Critique will be given on Character Sheets which don't break any rules but aren't quite up to an acceptable standard. Please be willing to work with the GM in the event of this.

Sexual Conduct:

SEXUAL CONDUCT:

This is an open world RP and I realize that relationships are a part of this. While I have no problem with this I do want it kept a specific way to avoid breaking any rules. As part of RPG's rule, mature content is forbidden on the forums. You may however use the standard fade-to-black technique if you desire and that will be fine, just keep it PG-13/14A (May contain: violence, coarse language and/or sexually suggestive scenes.) both leading and following up. I implore you to keep within the age restrictions set up already by administration. As such, let’s keep it simple, ages 14-17 can have relationships with each other and likewise for 18-22. Obviously there's some grey area in there and I'd understand 16-18 should also be a range but please just use your common sense if you're going to seek a relationship within the RP. You have been warned of my expectations on this matter and should you fail to follow through you will be asked to leave the roleplay and reported for breaking site rules.

Commitment And Consistency:

COMMITMENT AND CONSISTENCY:

If you join this RP, if you take the time to submit an application, I'm putting my faith in you that you'll be committed to it and that the character you play will be consistent with the one in the agreed upon CS. Personally, I have a hard time with this sometimes and I understand that things just happen. That said I’m referring to suddenly giving a character new powers with no explanation or completely changing their backstory in order to add new skills. I’m okay with changes but I’d like a heads-up first so perhaps we can work a more natural way towards these things happening. In terms of commitment, dropping out of the RP randomly for whatever reason is a pain or a GM. Simply put, it wastes my time along with the other players. If you do not think you can join and you're sure something will come up, do not join. Tendency to not care about an RP after a while? Don't join. Simple as that. I will work with you when it comes to bumps in the road. If you think you're going to be out for a couple of days, that's fine. I'll find a way to excuse you from the story or play your character. However, please let the group known as far in advance as possible. If you're going on a trip, tell me something. Do not leave me wondering where you are. Let me know so I can keep things going. I will work around you if you work with me when you can.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this based on the X-Men movies or the comics?

Technically neither, events have been combined from both plus a few of our own ideas to create an 'original' timeline.

Can I make an original character?

Yes you may.

How many players are you looking for?

The aim is to have an active roster of 5 to 8 players. As players tend to come and go, if our numbers are lacking we will recruit as needed. I'd like to keep a decent sized but close-knit group.

What range of writers are you looking for?

Well, to be blunt; The best. This RP is the product of hundreds, if not thousands of hours of work and a labor of love. When I say the best, I don't necessarily mean the conventional standards like post length. You make 4 paragraph posts, and I am not gonna bat an eyelash. It's about substance, not length. I care a lot more about quality than quantity. Considering how much work has gone into this RP, I'm only looking for players who are gonna give it their all, bringing their A+ game.

What kind of powers am I allowed to use?

I am looking for 'niche' powers. That is to say, in a team dynamic I want the characters to fill out specific roles on the team. Support, assault, ranged etc. As mentioned previously, look at the canon characters of Cyclops, Jean Grey and Shadowcat.

Can my character use magic, be a vampire/werewolf/god/alien etc?

Unless it's caused via a mutation, then the answer would be no.

Can I have more than one character?

I am aiming to keep the cast smaller so the answer to this is no. If a need comes this can be revisited. Alternatively you may have an opportunity to kill your character off and submit a new one down the road.​

Can my character be bad/evil?

At this point it is asked that all characters be X-Men.​​

What's the plot going to be like?

The plot will follow the disappearance of the X-Men resulting in our characters having to step up to fulfill their roles. Activities in the game will alternate between regular school events and missions to help mutants in distress. Eventually an antagonist will be revealed in the IC for our characters to focus on.

^{_{Johnathon "Johnny" Blaze ♦ Stuntman ♦ L.A / Hell ♦ Bounty Hunter Of Satan}}

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:

^{"Let's raise some Hell."}

People coming back from the dead is sort of my favorite trope of all time. I love the idea of death never being the end, and I think few characters and embody that as well as Ghost Rider can. A Spirit Of Vengence, born from hell to serve good. It's hitting all of the notes of things I really like, being a avid fan of most takes on Judeo Christian mythology. In this game I've got a yearning for Magic, and while there are more characters on the table to scratch that itch, few of them are so close to my wheelhouse as Ghost Rider. Where I can combine my love for street level ultra-violence with high concept battles of good and evil and supernatural horror. In short - my take on Ghost Rider is gonna be combining street thugs, criminal gangs and the immortal battle of heaven and hell - and a stuntman caught in all of it.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:

---

Johnny Blaze was a pretty ordinary 20-something guy. He's a stuntman. A daredevil and a body double for big actors in Hollywood movies. Or rather, that's who he was. As the my story will be about changing that. How a satanic cult murders him and sells their souls to the Devil in exchange for power and riches. With his dying breath, Johnny makes a pact himself, to get revenge. The Demon Mephisto's more than willing to assist, and locks the fate of Johnny with the everlasting abyssal demon Zarathos, turning him into the spirit of Vengeance - the Ghost Rider. And his one goal is to get revenge on the recently demonically endowed people who were responsible for his death, while still being used as a pawn in the bigger schemes of both heaven and hell. His job is to collect the debts the infernal realm is owed while trying to uncover the truth behind his powers and Mephisto who granted him a new chance at life.

C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:

---

Allies:
Zarathos - Demon and Lackey of Mephisto, much to his chagrin. Co-Pilot of The Ghost Rider. One of the baddest motherfuckers Hell ever spawned.
Craig "Crash" Simpson - Father to Roxanne and at the time of Johnny's death, the closest thing to a fatherfigure Mr.Blaze ever knew. Now, he's in a hospital bed in a coma following a stroke.
Roxanne Simpson - Seven Years ago, Roxanne was his Girlfriend.

Enemies:
The Six - The former group of criminals who were responsible for Johnny and Roxanne's assault. They made a deal with Mephisto for their souls in exchange for power, and are now, 3 years before their deals are supposed to come due, working on a way to break their contract with the would-be-Devil and escape life with their souls intact.

Mephisto - One of the many rulers of the underworld. Like, the firey one. Not the criminal one. A trickster, a manipulator and overall one of the most evil creatures in all of creation.

Zadkiel And The Black Host - The Nick Fury / Amanda Waller of Heaven, except far more evil. Every bad thing the angels ever did in mythology? Yeah, Zadkiel was the one who was tasked with all of it. Planning on overthrowing Heaven and becoming the new God. So, his aspirations are pretty low.

Father Carmichael - A Protestant Priest who is highly critical of this Ghost Rider and his inherent demonic connection and is in direct contact with Heaven, spreading propaganda fed to him from the Angels. The guy is sadly technically innocent, so Johnny cannot do anything to him.

Machine Gun Nurses - a group of highly trained assassins and Demon Hunters posing as Nurses, armed with heavenly steel and bullets forged with angelic technique, making them one of the few human forces in the world that are a threat to Ghost Rider.

Jason is due to well-adjusted diet and rigorous training the very peak of the human condition. He's the very peak a young man at his age could hope to achieve, making him stronger than most adults. The fact that he's 6'0 at 15 also never hurt in that respect.

Acrobatics:
Unlike the Robin of yore, Jason's not a trained circus acrobat but rather gained his limberness from engaging in the sport known as 'tricking' in his younger days. Well, that, and running from the cops and/or the mob at the age of 13 every night. Batman forced him to train to become an acrobat of Dick's caliber as staying on his feet and being able to stick to the shadows is the only way he would survive Gotham following Batman's footsteps.

Gadgets:
He's not as fond of the tools of his mentor as his predecessor, preferring to stick to using his hands or the environment when an opportunity arises, but, he's still versed in all of Batman's gadgets. He's able to handle his own with electronics, tasers, batarangs, bo-staffs, swords and some old fashioned explosives.

Detective Skills:
Jason's accustomed himself to a way of 'street detective-ism'. He's good at reading people largely the criminal and unstable kind, he does worse with well-adjusted individuals. He's got a lot of forensic training from Batman, though nowhere near enough to call himself an expert.

Martial Arts:
A well-tried fighter, Jason was scrappy long before he became Robin and got into regular fights since he was old enough to throw a punch. He's gotten hit a lot more times than he has hit, but he somehow finds a way to get back up onto his feet.

Criminality:
Perhaps being a former criminal doesn't look good on everyone's resume - but the fact that Jason spent more than half a decade alone on the streets of Gotham, fending for himself in the underworld of the most dangerous city on the planet did harden him. It made him understand how criminals think. An understanding of the circumstances that lead people down the path of crime, and he's willing to help everyone he can get out, much as Bruce did him.

Character Synopsis

Jason Peter Todd was born to Willis Todd and Sheila Haywood. Willis was a hired thug for the Gotham underworld, first the mob and then when Harvey Dent took over, he worked for Two-Face. That's how he met Shiela, a doctor at Gotham General Hospital, who saved Willis life after a fight. Sheila got pregnant after their one night of passion and did birth the child, though, once she did she was forced to flee the country due to a malpractice suit that sent the mob after her. Willis had a young son to care for and a life that belonged to crime - but a sweet young lady fell in love with his rogueish charms and married him, raising Jason as his own. Her name was Catherine and she was the mom Jason knew.

When Jason was 5, Willis had made a deal with Two-Face and the Red Hood Gang, but Willis double-crossed them. Leading to a group of thugs breaking into their apartment in crime-alley and beating Willis to death with crowbars, while Catherine and the young Jason watched, horrified. One year later on the day, February 21st, Catherine took her own life by overdosing on sedatives for the panic attacks she had suffered since watching Willis get beaten to death.

Jason was an orphan at only six years old. He was put in an orphanage after he was caught stealing food, six weeks after Catherine's death. But he ran away, so he was just another runaway in Gotham's slums. Doomed to a life of substance abuse and crime. But Jason never got involved in the drugs - well, he never took them. He had seen what they had done to his dad - and how they had killed his mom. He tried to stay out of the organized crime, and for a time he did. When he was 9 one of Willis old 'buddies' found Jason and realized he was Willis's kid. Jack took him in and helped Jason, for a time. But he soon demanded Jason would work for him, using his small frame to sneak around aiding him in his breaking. Climbing in through a window - opening the door, that sort of thing.

Jack was killed when Jason and he were robbing a nicer house in downtown Gotham. The owner was home after all and found Jack with his hand in the wife of the house's jewelry, shooting him in the chest with a shotgun. Jason was terrified and did what he, at the time, did best.
He ran.

But after that night, he stopped running. He started fighting. Jack had taught him that in this world, you have to be tough. But you can't just be tough, you have to be smart, too. Jason proved to be a lot smarter than his old man, figuring out police patterns and response times. Using a police scanner to know where the cops were, and then robbing a place on the other side of Crime Alley. Of course, he still got into fights. The other kids would fight him every chance he could, and as he started getting older, 12 or so, the adults would fuck with him.

He lived in the same apartment his parents had died in till he was 13 when he heard the roaring of an engine outside. A.. big engine. Bigger than anything he had ever heard down here before. And he knew. He bounced out of bed, dashing down the fire-escape to find the beautiful car unattended. He tried getting in - but to no avail. His tools couldn't open the cockpit door. So, the next best thing to prove to everyone in Crime Alley that he was the hottest shit in town - he started screwing off the wheels of the Batmobile.

No, really. The wheels of the batmobile. After living in Gotham his entire life.
Batman caught him in the act, he had only gotten off four screws on one wheel when the cape crusader got back from his hunt of a mob-boss. The Bat was injured, he had gotten shot in the side, limping back to his car. Not that Jason bothered to care about that - he saw it as an opportunity. He could be the one to beat Batman.

Swinging at him with a tire-iron, Batman caught it and stared into the young boy's eyes. Seeing the fire inside of them. The guts he possessed. Batman kicked his ass. Brutally. Jason had to go to the hospital where one Leslie Thompkins patched him up. His arm in a sling and no insurance, so when the bill came in the mail, Jason figured he would have to find some 50-inch Flat-screens to steal, somehow. But no, it was letting him know that his bill had been paid by the Martha Wayne Foundation for Youths-At-Risk.

Later that night, Batman appeared on his fire escape. Asking if he could talk to Jason, and Jason let Batman in, keeping a .45 revolver in his hoodie-pocket. The gun wasn't loaded. Jason didn't even have bullets. But it made him feel at ease. Batman informed him that he had pulled strings with the Wayne Foundation to help Jason out, and in return, Jason would be Batman's informant in Crime Alley. For a few weeks, Jason informed for Batman. Till a couple of thugs caught on that Jason was spying on them and attacked him. He fought as well as he could which, for his young age and the small frame was valiantly, but he was eventually beaten down, and as the thugs were about to do him in, the caped crusader came to his aid. Batman checked on Jason when one of the thugs got back on their feet and aimed his gun at Batman, Jason threw the Batarang that had fallen to the side, hitting the thug in the arm, throwing off his aim. Missing Batman with a few inches, and enough for the Dark Knight to throw his own, knocking the thug out.

From that day on, Batman decided Jason needed training. Jason was sent to live at the Wayne Manor where Batman's friend Bruce Wayne would care for him. Which, of course, didn't take long for Jason to figure out that Bruce and Batman were the same men. It wasn't intentional in the beginning, he was trained to survive, to live a better life.
Six months of hellish-training, strengthening every part of Jason's being, the 13-year old donned the Red-Green-Yellow Tights for the first time and it was, in his own words 'The best day ever'. He was Robin.

For the past 2 and a half years, Jason's been the Boy Wonder. Following an incident with Two-Face and Tommy Vascetti, Dent's right-hand man, and the man who had murdered Willis - Jason broke Tommy's back, paralyzing him. Bruce has benched him from Robin-duties. Sent him on a retreat in New York to cool off.

⌈APPEARANCE⌋

5'4 • 127 lb

Tall, lean, pale, regal. Aseizon's dark feature makes him the poster-boy of nobility in a sense. The scar on his face gives him a more rugged look and the serious look in his eyes gives him the appearance of a far older and more experienced shinobi.

⌈TATEMAE⌋

Respectful • Disciplined • Honorable

Aseizon is polite and kind to his equals, a well mannered and good-natured young man, charitable to his lessers and respectful of his elders. He is shockful of pride and is willing to put those lower than him in their place, but knows his place in front of those better than him. He's a dedicated and disciplined ninja and likes following the rules - but he makes sure everyone else does so, too.

本音

⌈HONNE⌋

Attentive • Hard Working • Self-Conscious

Most nobles and successful people have a deep, dark rooted secret. Terrible circumstances, bodies in the basement, that sorta thing, but, that's not particularly true for Aseizon. Sure, a superiority complex from being born rich and being told he's better than most people in the village - and the world. But other than an inflated ego at times, he's still a well mannered young man, trying his hardest to live up to the ideals that people have for him, following the path expected of him, a trail blazed by his seniors.

The looming fear that he's not enough eating at him, every so slightly.

⌈NINDŌ⌋

Survival of the Fittest

The strong shall succeed and the weak shall perish. "Be strong, my son." - as his father often tells him. It's not a nindo Aseizon picked himself, but rather the family motto. To him, it means trying his best and be a man his family and his village can be proud off. To others, it means crushing the weak under their boot.

⌈MOTIVATIONS⌋

Respect

To him, there's nothing more important in the world than respect. Being respectful, and being treated with respect. Respect in hostility and reason before anger. Aseizon knows that respect is earned, not given and he's trying to make sure he's deserving of the respect associated with his position in the world. Doing things that are respectable, reputable and worthy. His live started turbulently and he has to earn his right to live, despite his nobility.

⌈NARRATIVE⌋

Growing up a Jeweled General's a lot of pressure for anyone - but perhaps worsened when you're born during a troubled delivery where one of the midwives was a disgruntled servant who was angry because of the punishment her husband has endured for his transgressions against the clan - a fact that had eluded Aseizon's mother, Kura. The midwife was a Chunnin-rank medical shinobi and would take Aseizon under the guise of there being something wrong with the child to do a examination of him - intending to cut out his eyes and steal them, selling them to foreign military, and then murder the baby. She was stopped, but not before she could draw her blade and begin the attack, leaving the nasty scar on the baby's face. Kura killed her with a hand through her chest - exposing the baby to combat from his very first breaths.

She called him 'her little survivor' which explains his name as they took care of the child following the attempted murder.

After the turbulent birth, Aseizon grew up well-protected, perhaps more so than he needed to be. He was the oldest child and has a younger brother, Aro, born 4 years after him. Aseizon wasn't exactly coddled, but always looked after, and therefor never had to work much for his keep. That was, till he was six and his father, Izam started training him. Izam was a lightning jutsu specialized and a prodigy with their Kekkei Genkai. He trained Aseizon as much as the boy could handle till he was old enough to join the academy at 9. He excelled, as was expected of him. Aseizon made sure of it though dedication and hard work, his natural talent barely even a factor in his success in becoming a genin.

⌈STRONG SUIT⌋

Kekkei Genkai• Medical Ninjutsu

⌈KEKKEI GENKAI⌋

The Hikari (光)

Hikari, or, The Light, refers to the Dojutsu unique to his bloodline. Their amber eyes will turn gold and then blindingly bright when the user channels chakra into their optic nerves. Aseizon's skilled but far from a master.

⌈PRIMARY⌋

The Light

The Hikari allows the user to channel their chakra through the optic nerves and the muscles that control the eyes, activating the cells in the iris that are unique to their clan, much like any other Eye-related Kekkei Genkai. The Hikari, as you could guess by the name is about light. Which essentially allows for a very fine-distribution of chakra into everything they look upon - a flashlight or a spraybottle of chakra, allowing users to use it for sensory abilities or genjutsu, if they're so inclined.

But, the most common and the way Aseizon uses it is for his ninjutsu, using it to erupt bursts of chakra, much like a regular ninjutsu, from his eyes. In short - he shoots lasers from his eyes. Though, that's a over-simplification. They are not light-speed for starters, nor are they photons, simply highly compressed chakra with concussive and heat properties. Allowing Asei to either use it to burn, cause kinetic damage or even cause explosions. The speed and destructive powers of the blasts are completely dependent on the skill of the user nd how much chakra was used - just like with any other set of techniques.

⌈SECONDARY⌋

Medical Ninjutsu

Like his mother, Aseizon's training to become a succesful medical ninja. His clan is famous for their natural aptitude for chakra control due to nature of their Kekkei Genkai, and he intends to use it for healing. A General determined to become a medic's usually a bit of a controversy, but Aseizon believes that to be his path to greatness.

⌈TERTIARY⌋

Taijutsu

Aseizon's an above-curve taijutsu user. He's far from a specialist but he's also not completely undone once someone swings at him. Able to hold his own, especially with his kunai in his hand. He uses it in tandem with his Hikari, fighting off foes close range to try to get them at a distance where he can focus his chakra and blast them into oblivion.

^{_ARSENAL ‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗}

⌈WEAPONRY⌋

Combat Kunai - Shinobi Gear - First Aid ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔	A larger Kunai designed for melee combat rather than throwing. - Regular kunai, shuriken, steel wires and a couple explosive tags. - Needles, thread, healing salve, gauze and band-aids.

⌈D-RANK⌋

Body Flicker - Hiding In Mist - Hikari: Starlight ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

User moves extremely quickly after a short moment of concentration, making it usually impractical in combat, but useful for movement. - A ninja art that's notable for being the signature technique of the Seven Swordsmen of the mist. Creating a thick mist that makes it hard to see through. - The most basic Hikari technique. Asei channels chakra into his eyes, his amber iris starts lighting up with a gold color that gets brighter until his eyes are engulfed in the light. With this, he spreads light in an area in front of his eyes working as a chakra-based torch. His own vision's in no way negatively affected by this - unless he looks into deeply reflective surfaces. Snowstorms and thick mist are both factors that can make the technique come back to bite him.

⌈C-RANK⌋

Hikari: -] Hikari: - Chakra Scalpel ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

The most basic of the offensive ninjutsu associated with the Hikari, a skill almost all who carries the bloodline uses frequently. The user fires an optical blast of concussive force from their eyes in a straight line. The blast is precise and about the size of the space between the eyes. - A Precision based heat blast, the user shoots two thinner waves from their eyes, that is far slower moving than the concussive blast. Used usually as a utility ability but has applications in combat or torture. - This medical technique forms one's chakra into a small, sharp blade. This can then be used for highly accurate incisions necessary for surgeries and anatomical dissections. Unlike regular scalpels, the chakra scalpel can make cuts inside the body without actually creating an open wound, limiting the risks of an infection. The chakra scalpel can also be used offensively, although it requires great precision to be effective. Because of this requirement, using the chakra scalpel offensively is highly unusual. In heated combat, even the greatest medical-nin won't be able to exert the precision needed to make fatal cuts, but it can still effectively cut muscle tissues and tendons, rendering the target immobile.

⌈B-RANK⌋

Hikari: Supernova - Hikari: Starfall - ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

The buckshot technique is a full-frontal assault. Letting the chakra very quickly with little precision, it's the equivalent of using the two-headed axe instead of the scalpel. The technique is incredibly taxing as it expends a lot of chakra, draining Asei greatly. - Asei fires several beams into the air that are then called back down, the projectiles falling and striking anything in the area, causing explosive-tag like explosions. Position and friendly fires are both big factors. -

⌈A-RANK⌋

Hikari: Explosive Glance - Mystical Palm Technique ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

- The user applies their hand to the afflicted or wounded part of the body and sends chakra into it, accelerating the body's natural healing abilities. Although its most obvious use is as a way of treating external wounds, it can also be used for internal illnesses. Users must be careful to only use as much chakra as is needed for the specific injury. If too much chakra is sent into the body, this can disrupt the body's circulation, putting it into a comatose state. Asei's mastery of the technique's questionable at best, and he's never had to use it in a real situation, only practicing it in a controlled, purely practice-oriented environment. Asei himself theorizes that the Mystical Palm technique could be used with the Hikari, but he's far too inexperienced in both regards to ever try his theory in practice.

⌈APPEARANCE⌋

158 cm• 46 kilo

Nomizu is a young shinobi of average height and average stature, his hair's two-tone in white and dark blue and somewhat spiky, but rarely something that brings attention to the boy. He's as good looking as other boys his age and wears the same kind of clothes most other Pawns would wear. His clothes are dirty or a little torn, but never properly filthy. Perhaps, the most notable thing about his appearance is the sword that's always slung around his shoulder.

⌈CLOTHING⌋

Practical • Blue, White, Black.

He wears a long-sleeved shirt with blue sleeves and white torso, a pair of dark blue pants with wrappings on his wrists, forearms as well as his ankles and shins. Notably, he wears a leather belt slung around his shoulder where he keeps his forehead protector as well as his shinobi tools and sword. He wears a pair of brown leather gloves and a worn-out blue bomber-jacket with black fur on the collar and the cuffs, the jacket is a little too big for him currently.

His everyday outfit is not much different, he rarely wears anything outside of his shinobi gear, the notable difference is that he wears a black tank-top instead of the shirt and he carries no tools on his belt, the sword is with him.

He sleeps top-less in a pair of shorts. He wears a nightcap with a blue penguin on it.

建前

⌈TATEMAE⌋

Driven • Ambitious • Reckless

Nomizu is obviously driven to get further in the social hierarchy of the Hidden Mist, to prove his worth to everyone - to show that he is worth more than anyone's bargained for. He's actively seeking conflict and will act reckless at times. He's not a dunce or in any way unintelligent, but easily goaded into putting his pride and ambition before his sense of caution. He's friendly but rivalrous, more than capable of being a team-player all though he always wants to opt for the leadership spot.

本音

⌈HONNE⌋

Survivor's Guilt • Driven • Self-Conscious

Nomizu is aware that he is painfully normal. There's nothing extraordinary about him, not really. He's not born into a birthright, he has no Kekkei Genkai, he has no clan. He is not a prodigy and he's not a child of prophecy. Nomizu's a regular kid, which is what drives him, in the end. To prove that it wasn't a waste that he survived what happened to him. That what talent he was given has to be utilized to it's fullest potential, that with hard work, natural genius can be overcome. And with it, he has to become a somebody instead of the nobody he was born to be, because if he doesn't, he should've just died with the others.

⌈NINDŌ⌋

'Get Up'

His Nindo has a two-fold meaning. It means getting up once more than you're knocked down, but it also means rising up in the ladder of power. To become someone who matters and why it's important to make sure that people know who he is.

⌈MOTIVATIONS⌋

Bastard-Orphan.

He was born a nobody and he believes that even if you are born a nobody, you can still achieve greatness. He wants military and political power for the sake of 'making up' for the fact that he survived when people close to him didn't. That maybe by being more than he was supposed to, he shows the world that even bastard-orphans have a place in the world, that your lot in life is not decided at birth.

⌈NARRATIVE⌋

Being born in Amegakure, Nomizu's life was never going to be easy. His mother, Hana was his sole parent as his father had left them before the boy was even born. What he knew was that his father was a nobody. A mediocre warrior who tried to be a merchant but got in so fierce debt he never could pay it off - instead going on the run. Hana assume he died shortly after leaving them, perhaps hoping that was the case.

Despite this, Hana raised Nomizu as best as she could, but when the boy was 4 years old, Hana got sick. A scarlet fever which Nomizu and a lot of their neighbors started getting. The oldest and weakest among their peers started dying off, and soon the sickness claimed the lives of the younger, too. The children and the retired men and Nomizu was very sick, Hana caring for her son, fearing the worst. But the boy didn't perish. He fought through it. But his mother never did. Hana wouldn't die from the sickness, getting better but being affected by it for the rest of her life. She was lethargic, life-less almost, following the weeks of fever.

A year after the fever, the battles of the greater forces in the world found it's way to Amegakure again. Hanzo's men certainly tried to protect the people, but they couldn't fight off both Konoha and Suna shinobi, leaving the outskirts of the village vulnerable to deserters and bandits. A group of marauders raided the village, murdering and pillaging all they could, Nomizu was but a child, but he had fight in him, arming himself with a kitchen knife he tried to fight the bandits. The bandits mocked the child, bullying him until he finally nicked one of them in the face, hurting him.

Nomizu's home was going to be burned to the ground, while he was left to die pinned to a tree, the kitchen knife piercing his shoulder. But as they had lit the outskirts on fire, a team of shinobi from the Hidden Mist were making their way through on a recon mission and two of them convinced their teammates to interfere, saving as many as they could and killing the bandits, finding Nomizu and a few more survivors. They saved the boy's life.
Hana died in the fire.

Nomizu was raised in a orphanage in the land of waves. When he was 10 and had been at the academy for two years, he got lost in the woods and stumbled upon a hiker - the hiker turned out to be one of the surviving bandits from the attack on his home. The man, Girimono was greatly damage, his left arm was so damaged from the years before he could never use it again, he was blind in one eye and his ear was torn off, but he recognized the boy - he had been there when his chief stabbed the child with the white and blue-hair in the chest and pinning him against a tree.

The last few years had made the man resentful of his old self and he asked Nomizu for forgiveness, offering the boy a meal by the campfire, which he accepted, hearing him out. They talked the night away and in the end, Nomizu understood that there were circumstances that had made Girimono do what he did, he wasn't evil. He forgave the bandit, and upon hearing this, Girimono cracked a smile and handed Nomizu a treasure he had kept for many years, a blade he had stolen from a Samurai who had died on the battlefield - a very odd blade, perhaps influenced by the Seven Swords of the mist. Girimono himself was no swordssmith, but he knew the blade was just high quality and if Nomizu wouldn't use it - it'd at least sell for a lot of money.

The blade was called Icebreaker and it had been his most treasured possession ever since, and it solidified the belief that he needed to be better. His actions will affect his destiny, and this would drive him forward in the years to come, into the academy and into the beginning of his time as a genin.

⌈STRONG SUIT⌋

Kenjutsu • Water-Style Ninjutsu

⌈PRIMARY⌋

Kenjutsu

Swordsmanship. Nomizu's a talented and well-practiced user of the blade. His longsword might be almost as tall as he is, but he uses it with great grace and skill, making him a very competent mid-range fighter. He's skilled at infusing his weaponry with chakra, normally an ability not possessed by shinobi of his rank. His other skills are intended to be auxiliary to his swordsmanship.

⌈SECONDARY⌋

Water Based Jutsu

Perhaps not unheard of for the kid who's name means "Way Of The Water", his primary ninjutsu focus is on water techniques. His Chakra reserves are not massive, nor is his control the best, but with what he has, he makes do. Using utility techniques more often than purely offensive, but when he does go on the offensive with his jutsu, he makes sure it counts.

⌈TERTIARY⌋

Genjutsu

By utilizing mindfulness and standard anti-genjutsu techniques, Nomizuharu's ability to detect, resist and cleanse genjutsu is greater than most of his peers.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique - - - Flying Swallow - ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

The user manipulates water into the shape of a dragon, which they then direct at a target. The water crashes upon the target, dealing significant physical damage. Ideally, users will use pre-existing bodies of water for this technique. The more talented the user, the greater the amount of water that the dragon can be made from. This is an "addition-line ninjutsu" that augments the cutting power of a bladed weapon by flowing chakra into it. A dense blade of chakra is formed around the physical blade, extending its reach. Nomizu's unable to infuse it with elemental chakra at this point. He's also limited in the range and shapes he can alter the chakra. -

ADAM KAYNES

_{"Are you scared of the dark?"}

D E T A I L E D A P P E A R A N C E: If James Dean had survived to the 21st century, he'd look absolutely nothing like Adam. However, Adam likes to think he's got the 21st century Mr.Dean look going for him. Between the gelled hair, the cigarette behind his ear and his leather jacket or wool coat, depending on the season and weather. He wears band T-shirts under his jacket to school, and of course a pair of ripped jeans and converse, maybe a pair of ankle-high boots if it's really cold outside. He's pale, he doesn't enjoy being in the sun very much and would rather spend the day flirting or getting into trouble rather than engaging in sports. Not that you could tell that the guy spends every weekend drinking beer and hitting on college girls as his metabolism is still working overtime. He stands at humble 180 centimeter and weighs in at 70 kilo, a lean, athletic frame from his time on the swimming team as well as his decade long endeavor into karate. He's got a few scars, wounds that never healed right, but nothing too notable. He's got a pentagram tattoo'd on his chest and a egyptian Ankh on his collarbone, one end of the ankh peaks can be seen down his neckline through his T-shirts. When working he wears chinos and a dress shirt as well as a shamanistic necklace made out of animal bones, his hair's a little wilder and he dons a longer trenchcoat as well as a pair of dark sunglasess, regardless of the light source inside. M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S: You ever wanted to play the character who's the smartest in the room? Well, that's not Adam. He's not book-smart, he's barely street smart. The guy's got very little going for him except grit. Due to his hobbies and background, I think he's gonna be a lot of fun of having his perceived, and faked identity clash with what he learns about his true heritage from Crestwood. When the one field of expertise he's cultivated over the years turns out to be completely wrong, perhaps he's gonna get presented with a choice. Adapt or die.

Adam is an occultist. Not in a Tumblr-Ouija board kind of way. He's not a Wiccan, he's not even a pagan. He's not a psychic and he's not a medium. He's not a wizard and he's not an exorcist. He's not a demonologist and he's no hero.

He's a conman, a conman who's turned his fascination of the occult and the beliefs of the occult into a trade. He's running a succesful social media career as all of the things that he isn't. Where he takes cases as a paranormal investigator and solves poeple's supernatural problems. Except, of course, he knows they're all placebo. He's a showman, and a grifter. He doesn't believe a word of the things he breach, he knows all of the occult books in the world are just that - books. Stories. Made up. Not real.

There is nothing but people that go bump in the night. There are no monsters under the bed. And the only reason to keep the lights out in the hallway when you go to sleep is to make sure that your newest foster parents don't try to do any fuckery while you're asleep.

This all of course clashes with the to him, unknown fact that he's of the long line of magically-endowed individuals reaching all the way back to ancient Egypt. And that fact's gonna make itself painfully clear in the coming months of his life.

The Talon Of Platina; A ring made out of platinum during the 15th century in Spain. Made by a powerful Draoi who for centuries made enchantments for the Magni community. The Talon is one of the first conduits ever made out of platinum in a age when the world thought platinum was just impurities in gold.

Corvah The Immortal: Corvah's a small European Crow from Italy, Florence to be exact. His species have been the chosen corporeal form of the familiars of the Kaynes line for centuries. The moniker 'The immortal' is born from the fact that all of the Kaynes familiars look the same and share the same name. Corvah's actually the 214th Corvah, but that's too many 'Juniors' too put behind a name. Corvah actually become a Magni familiar in 1951, when Adam's father, Maximilian was born. Maximilian died shortly after Adam's birth when he was murdered by a Hellion, and with his dying might he cast a spell on Corvah so that the crow would not perish too - or worse, lose his spirit and become feral, a monster himself. Corvah was bonded to Adam when Adam was born, but the crow didn't survive his original partner's passing without scars. The familiar's not much of a guardian angel, but instead chaos and destruction has followed Adam his entire life, starting with the death of his mother when he was an infant. Corvah's life is a taboo in the Magni community and if a more experienced Magni would learn the truth, both Adam and Corvah's lives would be in danger.
