@DrewVonAwesome

I think he just copies and pastes it everytime he gets rejected.

'Welp if I can't play here obviously the RP is going to die. '

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@The Kid Lantern Now, concerning the RP itself, I'm not super good with pre-set archtypes, but I'll see what I can come up with.

Just in case I don't, then don't count me as interested until you see my ass posting a sheet.

@Lord Wraith

It wasn't word for word sadly, but if he did do that I might not be able to stop laughing...

@Mr Allen J

That's one of my struggles but I'm kind of just assuming archetypes could be better defined since it's a very open term and can be loosely applied. I mean TV Tropes is pretty good for Superhero Archetypes.

[Omega Man]

WIP

Archetype: Feral Man/Woman
Name: Jacob 'JD' Donovan
Alias: Dark Wolf
Age: 29
Powers: Due to a curse in his bloodline some one hundred and thirty years ago, Dark Wolf is the latest humanoid werewolf with red fur to bare the burden with feral senses, claws, and enhanced physical attributes. In his wolf form JD stands roughly six feet three inches tall but tends to lean down and forward. Gains an additional seventy-five pounds of muscle, several pounds of hair, as well as a tail and has an accelerated healing factor but nothing like Wolverine or Deadpool. In civilian form he's only about five feet nine inches tall and one hundred and eighty pounds.
Weaknesses: Silver. The wolf also isn't as powerful in the day as he is the night.
Alignment: Walking the line, he could potentially maim or kill an enemy
Personality: [Wolf] Impulsive, protective, wild [Human] Honest, depressed
Appearance:

His fur would be a deep shade of red or maroon.

BRIEF Bio:
Storylines: Hero vs Hero, something akin to Wolverine vs Hulk or Moon Knight vs Werewolf by Night
Notes: I just wanted something a little more feral and supernatural with this hero.

@Lord Wraith

Archetypes are in place mostly to establish power sets and levels and keep any one archetype from being used too often within the game. I don't want three demi-gods with the powers of Thor, Superman, and Silver Surfer any more than I want a handful of ferals like Wolverine, Wildcat, and Beast. With my Feral Archetype I went a little more primal and as far as the man inside the wolf he'll be struggling with depression similar to Bruce Banner. We could just as well only have four archetypes based on anything in particular with three wildcards and then flesh out the universe with group created supporting super-humans/villains.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@The Kid Lantern I wanted to ask, since I have two main character ideas in mind;

First I wanted to make a girl who's a living plant. Basically, she can turn her body in any plant, and manipulate it (Turn her arms into blade tipped vines, turn into a tree, regenerate, etc). She'll also have traditional plant manipulation.

The other character I wanted to make might fit your "Big Woman" archtype, but she's basically a huge chick with beast-themed abilities (Strength, enhanced senses) without looking like a beast. Possibly she can have an alternate form.

Do these ideas fit?

[Omega Man]

@Mr Allen JEither one of those sounds good to me.

~KL~

yay

I'll get to work then

Tomorrow, it's late and I have to start back up with school.

Doctor Neutrino, the Size Manipulator!

Archetype: Size Manipulator

Name: Jonathan Lowell

Alias: Doctor Neutrino

Age: 32

Powers: Doctor Neutrino is a brilliant scientist who discovered a methods to shift mass in and out of an alternate dimension. Primarily this allows him to shrink himself down to incredibly small sizes by shifting his mass out in a particular way or grow to tremendous size by adding additional mass, though it also has other applications including instead manipulating density in order to become incredibly dense or virtually intangible.

When shrunken down, he retains his full human strength and capabilities and at giant size sheer mass and the ability to move it enables him to be super-strong. The Neutrino Suit also affords him a limited degree of protection in various extreme environments, though it is not necessarily armored or possessed of any weaponry of note.

In addition John Lowell is possessed of a genius if somewhat eccentric mind and has since used his powers to become an expert in all things small from the tiniest aspects of human biology to cutting edge nanotechnology he's assembled by hand to even the very secrets of the subatomic universe.

Weaknesses:

Doctor Neutrino can only maintain his giant form for about five minutes currently, full-body intangibility requires him to hold his breath for the duration of the process or risk suffocation. While he can shrink, grow and adjust the density of other objects, he must currently make physical contact with them in order for the process to work. Currently without his suit he is merely a brilliant if ordinary scientist. His maximum height is a towering 40 stories tall, but any larger and he risks irreppairable damage to his body. His giant form also risks considerable collateral damage if he's not extremely careful.

Alignment: Hero

Personality: [Brilliant, Fun-Loving, Eccentric, Caring, Absent Minded]

Appearance: John Lowell is a bit of an absent minded professor, brown hair often mussed and unkempt, labcoats and jackets often smudged, singed and wrinkled from numerous experiments or just from some force that conspires to keep them that way. He's perhaps humorously not a tall man, about 5'3" when not employing size-altering technology. He has the sort of face that smiles and laughs easily when it's not puzzling over some new task or the general mysteries of the universe, though nowadays his experiments tend to be very hands on and action-packed indeed. His brown eyes can be either reflective or merry but are generally warm regardless. The Neutrino Suit is bright blue with white highlights on the chest, shoulders and sides and it's generally form fitting, though Lowell is hardly an Olympian, the helmet is silver and the visor a has a slightly orange tint.

BRIEF Bio: For most of his younger life, John Lowell was a party boy from an extremely wealthy old New England family without a care in the world except distracting himself from his own boredom. This was particularly difficult because in addition to wealth he happened to have a rather prodigious intellect he felt he was wasting on his admittedly amusing life of leisure. Eventually simple hedonism and partying wasn't enough of a challenge for him and he set his mind to revolutionizing scientific fields, or so he told himself. It took ages of work but he did eventually have a breakthrough, discovering a method to shift physical mass between dimensions. He started building a suit that would let him use his discovery in order to explore the world at all sizes, but before he could do more than finish a prototype a notorious Boston gang leader kidnapped his now aging parents for ransom. Donning his new suit in order to infiltrate the building where his parents were being held hostage he defeated the gang and rescued his parents.

This helped John realize something, namely that doing good out in the world was more rewarding than both hedonism and the pursuit of pure scientific knowledge. Thus he took the identity of Doctor Neutrino, protecting both Boston and the world at large and having big adventures at sizes both great and small.

Storylines: If it's alright I'd really like to come up with my own storylines instead.

Notes: I'm taking some inspiration from Ant-Man, but also the Atom and for attitude, Ted Kord the second Blue Beetle but played slightly more seriously than Ted occasionally was used.

Anybody else have a WIP sheet or any ideas on their characters?

I'm interested KL, and have a few ideas I might throw at you tonight.

Mayhew, Master of the Arcane and Academic of the Paranormal

| ∏ Δ Μ Σ: |

Alexander Lionel 'Xander' Mayhew

| Δ L I Δ Ѕ: |

Mayhew

| Δ G Σ: |

Approx. 500 years old

| Ƥ Θ Ш Σ Γ Ѕ: |

Mayhew is a master of the arcane arts. As such, Mayhew is able to manipulate the arcane forces through a few various conduits. Most commonly he carries a pair of twin oak wands which are grafted into silver hilts. Using these wands, Mayhew can cast a wide variety of spells ranging from manipulating the world around him to the various elements and even exhibit control over life ad death. Outside of casting spells, Mayhew is knowledgeable in potion brewing, rune carving and enchanting allowing him to make a wide variety of magical weapons and aids.

| Ш Σ Δ Ƙ ∏ Σ Ѕ Ѕ Σ Ѕ: |

The most obvious weakness of Mayhew's is that without a wand or other enchanted conduit, Mayhew is unable to manipulate the arcane forces. Further more, Mayhew has to limit the amount of time he opens himself up to supernatural forces as he risks possession by spirits far more powerful than he is. Beyond this, Mayhew has no superhuman abilities and is still vulnerable to bodily harm if he doesn't magically protect himself.

Born in the early 1500's, Mayhew grew up in poverty always seeking a better life. He found that better life after stumbling upon an ancient Warlock. The Warlock took Mayhew on as his apprentice seeing potential in the boy, unfortunately this was his undoing as Mayhew ultimately killed the Warlock in his sleep in order to siphon the elder man's power for himself. Over the years, Mayhew has constantly grown in power whether through deals, murder or simply the possession of arcane items. Having reached a pinnacle point in his life, Mayhew now has more wealth than he could possibly ever spend but yet is in more debt than he could ever pay off. Owing his soul to forces from beyond, Mayhew constantly barters for one more day by offering other souls in his stead. Somedays a single soul is enough to satisfy the hunger from beyond but at other times, the hunger has sought for hundreds of souls. As such, Mayhew has tethered his store to a Hellmouth in order to feed the hunger the victims of his crimes and amusement. Now residing in a vast metropolis, Mayhew keeps his debt and boredom at bay through causing chaos on its numerous streets.

| Ѕ Ƭ Θ Γ Ψ L I ∏ Σ Ѕ: |

I will be creating my own storylines.

| ∏ Θ Ƭ Σ Ѕ: |

■ Arch-enemy is a rival sorcerer named Spindleshanks. Unlike Mayhew, Spindleshanks focuses heavily in the art of Necromancy, often raising the dead as puppets and enslaving the weak of mind to carry out his bidding and will.
■ Having lived for so long, Xander has no interest in relationships, merely seeking gratification when he desires it. He also has no distinct preference in partner.
■ Xander enjoys chaos and often sell cursed items to customers just to revel in the madness they cause.
■ Mayhew's shop is built upon a Hellmouth giving him a limitless connection to arcane sources. He's able to summon demons and other otherworldly creatures to act as minions and underlings when needed. Mayhew's shop also doubles as a seal however, preventing the creatures from freely roaming the city and should the shop be compromised it could cause an invasion from the otherside.
■ Mayhew's shop, The Grimoire is protected by numerous spells including ones that have animated the decorative gargoyles. These gargoyles act as Mayhew's guardians and are also used to perform errands for Mayhew when need be.

[Hillan]

Interested.

[Hillan]

Anyone nabbed Supersoldier, by the way? Might do that.

[Rin]

@HillanWorking on a supersoldier right now. ^^;

Aw. I'll do a wildcard, then.

[Lord Wraith]

Is it actually limited to one of each Archetype? Or is it just like that until they get filled out a bit?

[An Outsider]

I'll just place this WIP here for now.

Odysseus, King of Ithaka

#Selfie.

Archetype:

Archer

Name:

Odysseus of Ithaka

Alias:

Not a superhero alias but some do insist on calling him Ullyses.

Age:

Biologically in his mid-twenties. Technically a whole lot older.

Powers:

Archery, peak human combatant, a lifetimes experience of fighting mythological foes, unmatched cunning, the gift of tongues - the ability to understand and converse in every known spoken world language – which he uses with a glib ease.

Weaknesses:

Just a human (to the consternation of the Olympians.) Overconfident. As he was an old man when he 'died' he is now an old soul placed into a young man's body, and as such he has trouble controlling his new, youth sharpened passions. Anger and annoyance are forever closer to the surface than he remembers them being.

Alignment:

Walking the line.

Personality:

Cunning, calculating, confident, witty, determined

Appearance:

Bio:

You been living under a rock for the last two thousand-plus years? No? Good, then you know Odysseus' story. The Illiad, the Odyssey, the whole Epic Cycle, it's all true. I wont bore you with the time-worn details, but suffice to say that the King Of Ithaka lived a long and interesting life, had some fairly unique adventures, captured the imaginations of the common man, and died at a ripe old age. At the last he'd figured that the God's of Olympus had finished with him, and that he'd get to while out the rest of eternity in the Elysian Fields, with his beloved Penelope at his side.

How wrong he was.

Storylines:

Not really sure what you're asking for here. Are you wanting us to re-write canon DC/Marvel story-lines with our own characters. If so, what's the point? Can't we just write our own story-lines? I'd like to do something involving Oddie's ex, the sorceress Circe, and something involving the Cyclops, as well as more traditional super-heroics were he works to take down street crime in a Green Arrow style fashion.

Notes:
