Casual Outfit

Camille is a young-adult woman with pale complexion, raven hair, and reddish-brown eyes. She's quite taller than average, standing at 177cm (5'10") with an average build.

As Chevalier d'Arcier, Camille takes a peculiar form resembling a combat android often seen in sci-fi series. Her arms appear completely mechanical with a forearm-mounted holster for her monosword and her hands appear to be gauntlets of metal claws. A red headband sporting twin horn-like protrusions adorn her scalp, her black hair becomes far longer than normal and gains crimson highlights creeping from the tip of her locks, and a pair of curious shield-shaped hair accessories are perched upon her twintails, these hold throwing daggers which she can quickly fling at enemies. A black skirted leotard adorn her torso complete with a collar that resembles a knight's neck-guard. Finally, a pair of jet-skates adorn her feet.

As herself, Camille prefers to wear comfortable clothes that doesn't stand out too much, a common preference for many modern people really. Unless she's dressing up for a specific occasion, there's not much to describe about the various casual outfits she has. At her work as a nanotech researcher, she wears a white lab coat and sometimes safety googles when the needs arise. If she's currently partaking in her hobby, a digital camera can be seen slung over her neck.

Superpower:

When she engages her power to transform into Chevalier d'Acier, Camille gains superhuman strength, speed, and agility, able to fling an SUV without much straining, outrun a speeding muscle car, and agile enough to abruptly change the direction of her momentum within split-seconds. Her whole body hardens as her skin can shrug off small arms fire, flames, and grenade-tier explosives. Together with her trusty monosword and throwing daggers, she essentially becomes a cutting edge combat cyborg.

Of course, no superhero is perfect, including Camille herself. While her powers may seem quite impressive at first glance, one can notice that all aspects of her power deal only with the physical plane. Therefore, the matters of the spiritual and ethereal are beyond her expertise as she has little means of dealing against the arcane and supernatural. Even outside of that, her jack-of-all-trades abilities meant there could be other supers who were either stronger, faster, or sturdier than her. Furthermore, while she has her throwing daggers, her primary method of dealing with hostiles is with her monosword, which means she needs to engage them in melee range to be fully effective.

Skills:

Outside of her superpowers, Camille is a competent engineer specializing in nanotechnology just like her mother, Mathilde Belrose. She holds a Master's Degree in Nanoengineering and currently works in the R&D Department of her family's company.

She also holds some experience at photography, especially landscape photography, however this is merely a hobby to her and as such, she doesn't hold a candle to actual professional photographers.

Equipment:

• Chevalier d'Acier Nanosuit: Formed through the unique nanomachines infused in her body, the suit can be donned at will, transforming her into the titular Knight of Steel, enhancing her abilities to superhuman levels.
• Rose Noire: A part of her costume and her signature weapon, Rose Noire is a curious sword with a mono-molecular cutting edge, enabling it to cut though all mundane materials as easily as a hot knife through butter. Only other supers have hope of enduring its strikes without immediately being split in two. However, it's useless against arcane-based powers.
• Pétales Cramoisis: Her only means of ranged combat without external assistance, it takes the form of crimson-red throwing daggers stored in her twin hair accessories. They possess lesser striking power than her sword, but can be thrown reliably for quick ranged strikes. After embedding into the target, it dissolves into particles in a few minutes. Once they're empty, said hair accessories internally form new daggers, reloading themselves. As with her sword, these daggers do nothing against metaphysical powers.

Personality, Biography, and Trivia:

Personality

Mature, conscientious, and disciplined, Camille can be best described as a perfectly functioning member of society. She took more after her engineer mother than her artist father, while her younger brother was the other way around. As such, it was only natural that her mother was more influential in shaping who she becomes as she grew up. She strives her best to maintain a regular sleep schedule, healthy diet, and exercise, and if someone needs a friend who can they rely on in difficult times, Camille would be that person. Even before the meteor 'chose' her for its gifts, the raven-haired woman already possessed the personality of an ideal heroine.

Of course, her no-nonsense approach to life can make her appear as stuffy and humorless. Her self-confidence can lead her to being highly opinionated on certain matters and it could complicate problems rather than solving them. Furthermore, like the rest of this new generation of superheroes, Camille was an ordinary civilian being given great powers, and such a sudden change would carry unpredictable results even for someone as 'ideal' as her. After all, as the saying goes, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Biography

Born to an American family of French heritage, Camille is the oldest child of an engineer mother and artist father, who decided that they would be keeping their respective last names, leading to Camille possessing her mother's family name while her younger brother took after his father's. She had never found herself wanting of needs as her family was quite wealthy. In fact, her mother was the owner and head researcher of the Belrose Nanoengineering Inc., a firm specializing in the research and manufacture nanotech devices from medical to industrial, while her father was a landscape artist of reputable fame. The former even designed the costumes of more than a few superheroes, boosting the firm's fame even further.

After graduating highschool, she decided to follow after her mother's footsteps and studied nanotech, earning herself both a Bachelor and a Master degree after six years of study in total. Then for the next two years or so, she had been working in the firm as one of the researchers of its R&D Department. To the envy of those less fortunate, Camille indeed had an easier track in life due to her family's wealth and resources, enabling her talents to be discovered and nurtured with rather smooth sailing. It looked like life would continue as usual for the black-haired girl, away from the conflicts between heroes and villains...

Until that one fateful day.

It began as a normal day at work, Camille was tinkering with a new prototype of nanobots, one that's designed to be able to stored in a wristband and when activated, would spread and cover the wearer's body to form a skintight suit. It was when she's wearing one of these wristbands that the meteor passed... and like a few chosen others, something happened to her. Shortly after the mysterious meteor struck, the wristband was somehow infused into her skin, completely without a trace as if it hadn't been there in the first place.

Justifiably, she was shocked and only by her excellent composure that she managed to stop short of panicking. Taking a few deep breaths, she tried to rationalize what just happened, and when that failed, she performed a scan on her arm using the lab's equipment, then this was the moment that nanobots began surfacing from her skin...

Thus, Chevalier d'Arcier was born.

Trivia

• Her faceclaim is Lucia from Punishing: Gray Ravens.
• Her powers is based off Raiden from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
• The way she summons her gear is basically this trope: Instant Armor
• Her most favorite hobby is landscape photography.

@Izurich

God, my character comparatively looks low effort. And isn't nearly as powerful...

Any tips on presentation?

New Superhero RP (Title is a Work in Progress)

Here it is, @zapdos. Let me know if there's any issues.

Onmyouji

Name: Robin Buschell
Hero Name: Onmyouji
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Family: Father, Robert Buschell
Mother, Marie Buschell
Sister, Mary Lynn Buschell
Sister, Charlene Buschell
Occupation: Librarian
Appearance: Robin stands at 5'10" tall, and has naturally curly brown hair denoting Celtic lineage. He keeps his hair well trimmed and short, and shaves regularly. He has gentle blue eyes and wears an easygoing smile. He mostly favors long pants and short sleeved shirts or suits, and wears a long trench coat when it gets cold. He hasn't really created a costume for his superhero persona yet, and as of right now has no intention of doing so.

Police sketch of witness account

Superpower: Robin uses Talisman magic. Talismans are small slips of paper with Japanese characters written on them. He can use these Talismans in four ways:
- Thrown Projectiles. Robin can throw a talisman a short distance. It will burn with a bright blue flame which is magical in nature, and behaves differently from normal fire. Once it makes contact with an intended target, the talisman will burst like a small fire cracker. If he misses, the talisman fizzles out.
- Barrier. By throwing a talisman directly in front of himself, Robin can create an invisible barrier to block physical attacks. The barrier will last only a minute, though it can be broken if enough force is put into a strike against it.
- Levitation. By affixing talismans to his clothes, Robin can fly. In the air, he moves as fast as he can sprint without tiring himself out. The talismans only work for 24 hours, and have to be renewed every day.
- Summoning. Robin can enter into a contract with a Youkai. In exchange for more power for both parties, and continued existence on the Youkai's part, Robin can summon any Youkai he has contracted with. Currently, he only has one Youkai, a Nekomata named Narumi. When summoned, this two tailed black cat first demands an offering of fish for her assistance. And even then, she will only help to teach Robin how to better use magic. She will not engage in combat except to defend herself.
Skills: Robin is a very quick study, and can read through most novels and absorb their information in less than an hour. He is also very skilled at calligraphy, which is good, since he has to make talismans every day in order to replenish his supply.
Equipment: Robin always stocks up on talismans, and expends many of them when he imbues them with magic. But despite being magical, they are still paper, and cannot be used when wet.
Personality: Robin is a quiet individual, preferring the company of books over people. He does help people when asked, but prefers to keep to himself in social situations.
Biography: Robin grew up listening to stories from his Grandfather, who claimed to be inducted into a secret order of Japanese sorcerers known as Onmyouji during his tenure in Japan. No one took these stories seriously in his family, but Robin was fascinated by the idea of magic and Youkai. Robin long fantasized about having adventures solving incidents of Youkai terrorizing small towns and rural areas, and fighting with them to save the people from fear.
When Robin's grandfather died, he was heartbroken. He knew that he would never again hear such incredible stories from his grandfather. But before he died, Robin's grandfather told him that all the stories he peddled were true, and somewhere in the house they were staying was a secret study that the entrance had been built over. Robin's grandfather encouraged him to find it.
It wasn't until ten years later, when a meteorite came crashing down from the sky, that everything changed. The strike caused a wall in the basement to collapse in Robin's family home, which was now his. And behind this wall was the door to his grandfather's study. Robin sifted through the papers and documents in the study, and found not just accounts of Youkai and magic, but also spells, enchantments, and instructions on how to use them. But tbe most incredible discovery was that of a Youkai contract, which only needed a signature.
Now, Robin has grasped the basics of magic, after some negotiation with his new teacher. And with this new power, he longs to fulfill his childhood dream, and carry on his grandfather's legacy.
Anything Else: (Nothing comes to mind at the moment.)

New Superhero RP (Title is a Work in Progress)

@zapdos

I went ahead and sent a PM. I wanted to hammer anything that might be an issue there before posting it here.

New Superhero RP (Title is a Work in Progress)

Color me interested. Though I'm wondering if I can use the magical superhero I've posted about before. I've had him for years, and am really eager to play him.
Reference: roleplayerguild.com/topics/186852-i-h…

I have a magical superhero who needs a RP to call home.

@Dinh AaronMk I appreciate the offer, but I'm not interested. I would very much like to play my character as is, or failing that, a kingdom where a character like mine can exist if I wanted to go Nation RPing.

Into the Rifts(Interdimensional Nation/Character RP)

@Sigma I only recently joined, but if you're still interested in doing this, I'd like to submit a faction.

A Vampire Army Fight

I have a contender. He's the character I consider my avatar, and he has a particular fighting style. He fights while flying in the air, at a range using weak magic pulses that home in on targets, or strong magic lasers that can blast anything in his sight. He also has specialized AoE spells that fire in specific patterns, ones which only end when you break through his barriers. His battles are mostly lighthearted affairs that don't result in death, but that doesn't make his magic any less lethal.

He is the Butler of the Scarlet Devil, and the apprentice to the Unmoving Great Library. He is Ace Sorou.

Panau : Superheroes in a South American Warzone

So I'm sure someone saw my thread about my superhero character concept, how he contracts out to creatures of Japanese myth in exchange for something they want. This RP probably could fit him, but I want to hear what you guys think

I have a magical superhero who needs a RP to call home.

I have a hero concept that I always wanted to roleplay in a comic setting. He's a Summoner who contracts with a selection of supernatural creatures from Japanese folklore. They each have their own specific powers, and will use them for him, but only if he gives them something they want. I was thinking of playing him similar to Ben 10 in that his powers are unreliable, but instead of transforming into aliens, he summons Youkai.

Is there a game that can fit him in?
