Maybe something Fallout-related?

A southern setting. Maybe Georgia, Florida, or New Orleans. Featuring irradiated gators the size of Super Mutant behemoths from Fallout 3.

Darker Than Black: The Black Contractor RP?

Alrighty, that's 5 interested parties.
I will begin work on the OOC, it should be up sometime this week. I'm not sure what day, however, due to a rather busy school-induced schedule...

The Odyssey Expedition (Sci-fi/Futuristic RP)

I think I'm down, but due to school-induced time constraints posts from me may be a rarity.
But anyway,

Classes:
Assault – Experts at automatic assault rifles and close range combat. Commonly chosen to provide leadership.

@LostSamurai

I just wanted to say I would never ever choose an assault guy as my leader.
"Who do we pick for leader?"
"How about Timmy?"
"You mean the guy that runs balls deep into enemy hordes with a midrange assault weapon shouting 'LEEEEERRRROOOYYY JENKIIINNNSSSS' and almost dies every mission?"
"Yeah, him."
"I'm down."

Darker Than Black: The Black Contractor RP?

I think I'll wait for... What, 5 people to start an OOC? Yeah, 5 sounds good.

Darker Than Black: The Black Contractor RP?

Would anybody be down for a Darker than Black RP?

Titans of Gotham [Spots Available!]

Alrighty, @The Kid Lantern, I've finished my sheet.

Titans of Gotham [Spots Available!]

Meta Detection, ie, the super power of stating the obvious. Guys, I totally sense that Superman can, stay with me on this, fly! No seriously, he can fly! I can sense that about him! What do mean, you can all see for yourselves that he's flying right there in front of us? No really, I sense it, guys!

Sorry, couldn't resist. xD

@Double

haha. Well I was thinking more like, walking down the street, seeing Clark Kent and being like "oh shit, that guy can fly, he's really strong, and he's got laser vision. He's got powers like Superman... Maybe he is Superman?"

Titans of Gotham [Spots Available!]

Work in progress.

Secret ID: Lucas Gatehouse
Alias:
Age: 17
Home Location: Gotham
Powers:
-Meta Detection: Lucas sees an 'aura' around everyone, which can tell him a thing or two about their powers. At the moment, he can only see the more overt powers. For example, he could tell you Superman flies, shoots lasers, and has super strength, but he wouldn't be able to tell you about the minor hypnotism abilities the man of steel has.

-Meta Duplication: If he can achieve skin-to-skin contact with another meta human, he can duplicate their ability. He isn't very good with it, however. This duplication is a total duplication, and Lucas will be able to do everything the other person can do, except, his body tends to be rather inefficient with the power, meaning he'll be drained of energy much quicker than the original user if they were using their own power. Additionally, he is typically unskilled with the power, unless, again, he's hung onto it for a long time. Lastly, he can only hold one ability at a time.

-Enhanced Human Attributes: He is stronger and faster than the average human. He is beyond human capability, but not by too much. He can run at thirty miles an hour, and if he really sprints he can get up to fifty. He can lift up to around 750 lbs(a real guy has lifted more, much more) if he strains himself, and can deal out harder hits than an average person would be able to. Additionally, his reaction time has been increased to a phenomenal 20 miliseconds due to having significantly more synapses in his brain than the average person.

Weaknesses:
-Attempting to copy a power that is too powerful will give him a seizure, or, in more extreme cases, a brain aneurysm.
-He can't copy any magic-based powers.
-He can't see the power auras through TV or images. He's gotta see the real deal.
-Bullets. Sharp objects. Blunt force trauma. Anything that would kill a normal man would kill him.
-Electricity can hurt him really bad. He has more synapses in his brain than the rest of us, and has more electricity flowing through him at any given time. If that balance were upset, it'd hurt. Even little bits of static electricity can give him migraines.

Equipment:
-Two Eskrima sticks, which he has basically no skill with.
-A combat knife, mostly for utility reasons, but he does have the ability to use it in a fight.
-Grappling Hook
-Two smoke grenades, one flashbang
-some bolt cutters and a swiss army knife
-a flashlight

Appearance:

Hider

Lucas has a slightly better than average body type, of an average height for his age, although he's much more muscled than is the standard for people of his age, having the body of a dancer or acrobat. He's a caucasian individual, of welsh and irish decent, though he lacks the freckles that are commonplace among the irish. He has a large, friendly smile and very bright blue eyes. he's got short, very dark brown hair. In terms of clothing, comfort is his first priority, and he'll often wear hoodies and t-shirts. He likes shorts(they're comfy, and easy to wear!) but he does occasionally wear jeans.

In costume, he has a pair of black, rubber-soled, steel toe boots that make him appear perhaps an inch taller, as well as dark pants made of a tough material, with stab plates and padding inside. His costume features a composite underlayer that is somewhat similar to thermal underwear, keeping him warm and comfortable. Outside of this he wears his utility belt, within which is all the knick-knacks given to him by The Bat. Over this he has a long, flowing black coat that is comprised of kevlar, padding, and stab plates, allowing him to protect himself from injury to a certain degree. Finally, he wears a white mask that was very distantly inspired by the Comedy/Tragedy masks, though as opposed to a grin or frown he chose to draw on a thin lipped smile. The lightning bolt that is pictured is not actually on the costume. Lastly, he wears a wig when in costume as well, to further conceal his identity, as his mask does not cover his whole head.

Personality:
As a teenager with superpowers, Lucas thinks life is pretty great, man. While not strictly an optimist he can be quite optimistic, and typically has a smile on his face. He's also quite friendly, although not to the point where he's the kid who's friends with everyone. Despite this, he can get annoyed quite easily, and once he decides he does not like someone, that decision is very hard to shake. Generally he's hardhead, but he does have mutable opinions on a few things.
Lucas is a boy who likes to prove that he can do something- He has a want inside him to show that he doesn't need help. This is not to say he does not acknowledge the need for help when necessary- But even when acknowledging he needs help, he tries to do it himself anyway.
In terms of sense of humor, Lucas' favorite is dry wit and sarcasm, though he isn't the best at sarcasm himself. Lucas is sensitive to the plights and problems of others, but then often has trouble thinking about what needs to be done to actually help them- sometimes he just exacerbates the situation.

BRIEF Bio:
Lucas Gatehouse has lived in Gotham all his life, born to a mildly eccentric father whom was a small time movie star, and a mother who was an economist that had the demeanor of Gregory House.
They lived in a modestly sized apartment within Gotham, carefully picked to be just outside the realm of the truly terrible neighborhoods. Lucas doesn't have any particularly strong memories of the place, as it's always been a "place to put his stuff" as opposed to a location that has meaning to him. As a boy he didn't have many friends largely due to little opportunity to go out and meet them- His father worked with a very young crowd that didn't have any children that he could be introduced to, and his mother worked with people that would rather shit bricks then waste time on something that wasn't money.
But life went on, and he went to school, eventually becoming associated with "the weird kids" whom would later evolve into "the theater kids", though his social circle would eventually be much more encompassing in the future. It was in middle school that he first discovered his ability, he saw a girl in his class with the aura around her, and when he shook her hand as part of a 'get to know you' exercise, he had his first seizure due to his body not being ready to accept all but the weakest of powers at the point.
It was at this point his mother and father began fighting, due to gradually rising money problems due to his father's inability to get another role in a production, and Lucas' apparent health issue with the seizures they now had to deal with. To escape from home troubles Lucas immersed himself in the theater and became a part of many school theatrical productions, becoming quite a good actor.
The more he acted, the more and more he watched the television to get' inspiration' for his roles. But as he watched TV he became drawn to the exploits of superheroes on the news, the bright costumes reminding him of his lovely time in Theater class. The seed of an idea formed in his head- He could be a superhero.
It was shortly after he'd resolved on the idea of becoming a superhero that he got the call from Robin, and went to meet with him and the others.

Notes: He swears profusely, mostly because he has reached a point where such language no longer has any sort of 'weight' to it, but he's trying to get a handle on it. Also, please forgive the terrible history, I'm very tired and I wanted to get it over with.

Sample Post:

"I would kill for a few molotov cocktails, a machine gun with limitless ammunition, and... Aw, hell, why not an Apache Attack Helicopter too?" Lucas was attempting to think of ways this situation could be better. Like, if Robin had thought to invite Batman. That probably would've helping.
A Multiplex clones' fist slammed into Lucas' mask, sending him stumbling.
"You son-of-a-bitch. Do you know how long this mask took to make?" Lucas pulled out his knife, making big, awkward slashes at the clone. It wasn't connecting due to Lucas' lack of skill, but it was keeping the clone at bad, while it clearly tried to search for some kind of opportunity to ruin Lucas's day and probably the health of his bones as well.
"Like, a couple hours, dude. You almost broke it. Not nice." As Lucas finished his sentence, the Multiplex clone spotted an opening and went for a punch. Lucas stepped out of the way, slashing with his knife and making a huge gap in the Multiplex costume.
"Aw, hell yeah." Lucas smiled under his mask. This fight would be getting a whole lot easier. The Multiplex clone through another punch and Lucas stepped back, kicking out hard with his foot, sending the clone sprawling.
"C'mere, you bastard." Lucas jumped on top of the clone, wrenching off his glove and shoving it into the hole in the Multiplex costume, while the clone struggled, legs flailing and arms attempting to push Lucas off, blows that suffered from lack of movement range attempting to pound into Lucas' chest.
"We win." Lucas said, grinning wider. He envisioned Multiplex's aura of power flowing into his own, combining with it, melding with him...
Nothing. Nothing was happening. A fist smashed into the side of his head, causing a spiderweb of cracks on the lower left portion of the somewhat delicate mask, sending Lucas rolling a meter.
"What happened...?" Lucas' daxed brain attempted to understand why the hell he couldn't copy Multiplex's power. He willed himself to see the arua of the clones, fighting all around him, and the one he had tackled got up.
"They all have the aura... Oh, eff-me. I gotta figure out which one of them is the original." The thought hit him like a bus, as the clone got closer, walking slowly. It looked as though Lucas maybe have broken one of its ribs, staggering, one arm pressed into it's side, the other outstretched towards Lucas.
He got back on his feet, prepared to fight, shouting "I'm gonna knock you down on your ass again, and when I do-" when suddenly-
"BANG! BANG! BANG!" The noise tore through the air. Not long after that, the silence returned to the still night air, and the fight was over. The villains were gone. The teen heroes either looked down, or stared at the boy wonder. A hero was now nothing more than a corpse. Lucas tried to swallow the lump in his throat, looking at the broken, beaten body, still dressed in the cheery colors of Robin. It didn't feel like the thing lying where was Robin... It felt like it was a stranger in a Robin suit. Like it couldn't be happening. That the busted lips and the shattered arms bent at unnatural angles and the red-rimmed bullet holes on the forehead just couldn't be happening. But it was.

I would hope it's not too late to cram in a work in progress submission.

Secret ID: Mark Reeves
Alias: Dynamo
Age: 17
Home Location: Gotham City
Powers:
Kinetic Energy Absorption, Control, and Redirection:
Kinetic energy is one of the most fundamental aspects of our universe- To control, absorb, and redirect it without limit is what it means to become a god. Suns could be extinguished with a thought, any sort of attack could be absorbed, and the entire universe could go into imbalance due to the violation of the conservation of energy- It is not meant to be stored like that. It could mean the end of the universe as we know it.

At least, that's what Mark has been told. He, sadly, does not have the ability to become a God-being of universe-shattering proportions and he is not "am become death". He is simply a kid from Gotham with a pretty neat power. Barring the extremely unlikely event that an extremely powerful telepath(by extremely powerful, I mean, Martian Manhunter wouldn't even be a nth of the aforementioned telepaths power) with a death wish came along and removed the blocks preventing Mark from accessing his power.(Not to say such a thing would happen over the course of this RP, but I do enjoy mentioned the sheer awesome destructive power of totally kickass kinetic energy. Plus, the original version of this character used in another RP was god level. So, yeah. I also write this to denote how ludicrously out of control such a power can get- I am aware, and will keep it in check. i do intend to make him grow in power through the RP, but, again, not to utter ridiculousness. I also understand tht the limits I'm imposing on this power for myself may be difficult to understand, and if necessary, I can certainly explain them in further detail.)

Mark only has a very rudimentary grasp on his power, and all but a fraction of his potential is locked behind enough mental blocks to make Fort Knox look like a bouncy house, and to make even Martian Manhunter wet himself. But, in terms of actual applications, Marks power has a few useful applications that make him quite the vector to deal with.

Energy Absorption- The bread and butter of his power, Mark constantly leeches kinetic energy to give himself fuel to use his ability. This expands to things such as electricity and fire. But, a caveat to this is that he can't absorb too little or too much. The mechanism by which he absorbs the energy is a very delicate thing- Too little, such as the force generated from just sort of walking around, and his body's systems just aren't efficient enough to process it. Too much, and his system would be overloaded, and he'd take whatever force is connection with him like a normal human. Additionally, his body can only store so much energy at any given time. An example of too much energy would be a bullet hitting him, or a punch from a superstrong adversary. He could soften such blows to non-lethal levels, but it'd still hurt like a bitch. Also, the degree to which he can soften such blows sometimes isn't sufficient. Bullets of sufficient caliber, a la anti-material sniper rifle would probably blow his head open just like anybody else.

Blasts- He can redirect this energy into blasts, fired from his hands. These blasts can only use a portion of his 'power battery' at a given time, so he couldn't let it all go in an all or nothing shot. The maximum force he's exhibited is enough to send a normal person flying about three meters.

Super Strength- Through application of his energy up through his arms, legs, muscles, and skeletal structure, he can lift weights and deliver blows impossible for a normal human. This function constantly drains his energy, however, and is one of the larger drains of his power.

Superspeed- Using his energy, he can propel himself forward at speeds unattainable for normals. Of course, this speed is leagues below any user of the speedforce's ability, such as Kid Flash, but it is notable, he can probably clock in at about eight MPH. This is a very inefficient use of power, however, and it drains him reasonably quickly.

Durability- Since everything has an equal and opposite reaction, he can enhance his own ability by applying kinetic force outward, dampening blows dealt to him. This power is also a large waste of energy, and blows of sufficient power(i.e. bullets) would damage him.

Hetero Energetic Manipulation- Hetero, meaning other, he can sometimes adjust the energy of other things, within a range of ten feet in all directions. For example, without firing a blast, he could give a thrown basketball a little extra 'oomph', or guide is through the air with very tiny bursts of energy. Theoretically he could also use this power to enhance the blows of his allies by lending tier hits extra kinetic force. He can also use this to protect his allies by taking away tiny bits of force from his enemies attacks. He could also theoretically use this to allow him to stick to walls by using a small bit of energy to make the wall 'pull' on him.

Flight- A horrifically inefficient use of power, he can attain flight or levitation. Even on full battery, however, this would last at most thirty seconds, not topping speeds of twenty miles per hour.

Healing- His healing is the least developed of his abilities, and requires a ludicrous amount of energy. At full battery strength, at most, he could probably fix a broken arm due to the terribly inefficient usage of energy from this power application.

Weaknesses:
Mark is extremely averse to telepaths, because after a rather unfortunate encounter in his youth with one. Additionally, he has absolutely no mental defenses to keep them from picking around in his brain, aside from 99.99999999999999% of telepaths being totally incapable of accessing the higher functions of his power.
Equipment:
-Utility Belt, complete with grapple cable, bolas, smoke pellets, two pairs of handcuffs, and twinkies(high in calories= high in energy).
-Two Pistols with rubber bullets. The Bat does not appreciate his use of such weapons(but he can't say he hasn't done it before..), but allows them nonetheless. He gets a very tiny amount of energy each time he fires from the recoil of the weapons.
-Two eskrima sticks which he is totally unskilled with.
-A small palmtop computer. It's not very powerful and he can't hack or anything like that, but he can google stuff and it gets signal from the bat computer. Sometimes Mark watches cat videos on it.
Appearance:

Beware, ye with slow internet, 2 images inside

When not all costumed up, Mark has short, neatly trimmed hair and a friendly smile on his face. He has brown eyes, brown hair, and slightly crooked teeth. In terms of build he is very average, if lightly muscled from the very beginning of his training. he stands at 5' 11" and weighs 175 Lbs. He likes wearing clothes that aren't terribly restrictive, but look nice. This means polos and the occasionally dress shirt that is very slightly too large for him, and jeans.


He has a very simple costume, a black longcoat with black shirt, black pants, and a stark white mask, as well as a black wig. The fabric is made from leather and kevlar, and it has a few stab plates embedded in, allowing it to take a punch. It has several pockets and pouches along it as well. The interior of the coat is green.

Heroes Reborn

(WIP)

Quote: "In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!" -Blackbeard, AC4
Name: James Hannes
Age: 45, but physically is 33.
Gender: Male

Height: 6' 2"

Weight: 204.3 lbs

Ethnicity:
Caucasian, more specifically, Irish with some German and a bit of Welsh sprinkled in.

Sexuality:
Hetero Sexual, married to his wife, Hisoka Hannes.

Religion:
No Gods, no Masters.

Occupation:
Owner of the Camelot Institution, professional bodyguard and assassin.

Ability:
Power Swapping- James has the ability to swap powers with other Metahumans. With naught but a touch, he can swap whatever power he currently has with you. For example, he might be holding onto flight and whoever he's going to touch has fire powers. Once he's touched the individual, he gains their powers, and they gain his power, while losing their original power. The ability to power swap will never be transferred, meaning, once he touches someone, that person cannot then go and swap their powers with another person.
If attempting to swap with a person with no power, he will give that person whatever power he is currently holding. If he has no power and swaps with someone whom has a power, he will take the power, and the metahuman will be rendered powerless.

Hydrokinesis- The most recent ability he's gotten his hands on, James currently has hydrokinesis, allowing him control over water, through such things as water weapons, shields, transportation, etc. Through use of this ability he can amplify his strength and speed through manipulation of the water molecules within the human physiology.

Locked Away Metahumans- Within a hidden chamber inside the Camelot Institution, James has two metahuman captives that he uses to effectively 'store' powers. He has two captives currently, one with a potent healing factor(Not Claire Bennet level, mind you), and one with telekinesis. He will occasionally swap his secondary power out for one of these if he feels the situation calls for it.

Personality:
Most would call James a sardonic asshole. Those who knew him better would call him a cunning, sardonic asshole.

Background:
