Reckon I could jump in?
Aces.
I take it @Balmung1100 is going to be posting next in our encounter @Valais 66?

Sarah gave out a quiet sigh of relief as she heard the stranger's footsteps continue on, having paused as she followed him. Her skills of stealth and small frame had allowed her to remain undetected in her stalking, behind the obliterated shell of an old pick-up. She had no ill-intent, merely tailing him in hopes that he would stumble upon some form of supplies he didn't need, or those which he'd discard in order to make room for new things. As he began his stride again, she rounded the vehicle's flatbed, crouched and silent Sarah moved from cover to cover behind the man and into the supermarket.

Hearing the sound of steel on brick as he began to scan the aisles one by one, Sarah decided it would be best to take cover in the first aisle he'd checked, and wait until he had left. Soon after he left the room however, the young woman could hear him begin to converse with what sounded like some form of Protectron, but different in some way that she couldn't quite place.

"Threat detected...terminating." She heard the robot's mechanical voice croak out, in a panic she lay her body completely flat on the ground - and if the bot's fire came her way she'd lay down as many shots as possible, then get the hell out of dodge. Though when the small burst of automatic fire sounded out throughout the building, the slushing of coagulated blood was the only noise that followed the gunshots, except the autonomous "Threat terminated."

She did her best to remain utterly silent, it seemed that the robot's targeting systems were malfunctioning and would likely fire upon anything that moved. Except the man, for whatever possible reason that was. Sarah needed to get out of there and she knew it. But there was one problem with that; he was now sat outside cleaning his weapon with the bot likely patrolling the area. She took this as an opportunity to flee, but was mortified as she turned and slipped on a pool of blood which she had somehow failed to notice. With a thunderous crash the few heavy items that remained upon the shelves came tumbling down to the floor.

"Fuck." She said aloud to herself, laying flat on her back. She gripped the handles of each of her pistols respectively, pulling them from their leather holsters and remaining locked in place, waiting for the man to come and investigate.
Perhaps we could create a spiritual successor based on this and if he comes back we'll use some interdimensional shit and travel back in time, to the point where this one left off. Kinda like a DC multiverse joining type thing.
One can only hope. SimplyJohn is at least interested in continuing from what I've been told, maybe Genni too.
Just waiting for Valais to reply to my PM.
I put a little WIP up, just to see if my idea is okay with those of you left. (If you are still interested in continuing) before I go writing backstory for a character I may not get to use.
(WIP)

Full Name: Jibril Maalik Ghaffar (Usually called Malik.)
Codename: The Archangel.
Gender: Male.
Age: 29.
Ethnicity: Iranian-American.
Nationality: American.
Height: Malik stands at exactly six feet tall.
Weight: 190lbs. (Approximately 300 whilst wearing his armour.)

Appearance: Malik is a very baby-faced man, despite his relative maturity he appears to be in his late teens; rather than the grown man he actually is. His ebony-black hair is usually kept in a caesar cut, though he will often slick this backwards to prevent his fringe straying into his eyes whilst wearing his helmet. A casual beard usually sits upon his cheeks below his icy blue eyes, being the only indicator that he is not a child.





Personality: Arrogant, selfish and outright narcissistic. Malik is often discredited for his belief (or in his words, his knowledge) that he is absolutely perfect. This coupled with his un-serious and happy-go-lucky attitude tend to make him walking marmite; he is either absolutely adored, or passionately hated by those around him. It is exceptionally rare for a person to feel indifferently about him.

Classification: Tech/Metahuman.

Powers/Abilities:

Enhanced Reflexes and Mental Fortitude:

Being the sole survivor of the ARK (Anti-Revolutionary-Kommando) Project headed by German and American scientists Alfred Neumann and Howard Wayne, Malik has preposterous reflexes. These are backed up by his ability to 'blank'; a process of denying mind-readers and puppeteers their tricks, learned during the extereme psychological torture brought on by months of captured Russian Psychic Agents having their way with him. It takes a notorious and skilled supernatural of any kind to take a hold of his mind.

Mark Three Archangel Armour:

Developed by DARPA during the later stages of the Third World War, the original Archangel suits were used by American DEVGRU operatives in counter-insurgency raids across the globe, and were considered among the best suits of powered armour available at the time. Though these suits looked nothing alike the modern prototype used by Ghaffar, and lacked many of the key features of the Mark Three, they were incredibly effective tools against the Soviets during the conflict.

The Mark Three however, is a tool like no-other available in the world. The masterpiece of the now deceased Howard Wayne, the prototype version is incredibly slim-lined. Powered by a miniature photon-nuclear reactor confined within a small pentagonal backpack which keeps it running indefinitely, it features armour plating constructed of an incredible titanium, carbon fibre and alien metal alloy which renders it highly durable against all but the highest calibre rounds. Miniature thrusters placed in the palms, soles and at the base of the backpack of the armour allow Malik to achieve sustained flight at approximately two-hundred kilometres an hour through use of advanced pulse technology. (Though it is only viable for roughly an hour and forty minutes before needing to recharge.)

In the confines of the suit, an array of gadgets and gizmos too long to list are available to The Archangel. In summary, the suit bestow upon Malik the following benefits:

Flight
Enhanced Strength and Speed
Numerous Vision Modes(Sonar, NV, Thermal)
Silent Movement
Brief Cloaking
Pulse-Blasters (Through weaponizing the flight thrusters.)
Single shot, wrist-mounted suppressed cyclic .300 AAC rifle (meaning it reloads itself after each shot fired.)

Weaknesses: Due to his arrogance, Malik will often believe he has won a fight before it has even begun, and will happily give away his position in a stealth scenario for a fancy kill to show-off. Simply because he sincerely believes that not even an army can stop him. This has resulted in him being injured and/or failing to complete his objective on numerous occasions. (Also it is worth noting that if somehow his mni-reactor contained within the Archangel Suit's backpack is breached it is theorized that it can, and will cause a detonation akin to a six or eight kiloton bomb.)

Weapons: A pair of KA-BAR combat knives. (As well as the winged appendages on his forearms)

Gear:

Skills: Trained by some of the best operatives the US has to offer, Malik is highly skilled in the arts of stealth, espionage and close-quarters combat. He is a notable marksman, but the use of his suit allows him to get up close and personally pretty much whenever he wants to. Wherein he is far more formidable anyway, being a certified black-belt in Karate, Jeet Kune Do and Judo. (He has also studied the Israeli Krav Maga, though his attachment to his styles means many of the Krav manoeuvres elude him.)

Brief History:

Other:
I hope y'all don't mind. But I'mma throw up a CS, and hope this is still alive and kicking.
