Look, dude, you've been a pessimist this whole time, since the interest check. Just because I don't post as often as some of you doesn't mean it's dead.
Terribly sorry for the lateness of my post. And I do realize it says I've been on the thread this whole time. I think I may've left my Ipad open to this thread. Also, I'm reading from the last page up so... Everything will be in backwards order from when it was posted.
I still haven't got my character looked back on after some edits I made.
Still quite a bit powerful, and you're gonna want a bigger personality and biography sections if you want to approach that power level. I'd recommend cutting his strength down some, perhaps make him a tad shorter(25 ft? 20?), make his silver scales resistant to bullets/lasers, but not entirely immune to them, and cut down his endurance, too. Even then you could probably afford to add to his personality and history. The bigger and better those sections are, the more comfortable I am with letting people have powerful characters.
Just out of curiosity, how many others are we waiting on before we begin?
When the character applications start to slow down a bit more and/or when we hit 6-7 accepts. Though, even when the RP starts, I'm planning to keep applications open pretty much forever, unless you guys otherwise object. Also, I still need to post some information about some villains and heroes that are notable in the OP, and I'm considering a character of my own.
Kennith Archibald Archer
Assuming this is WIP?
A Hathoway
Accepted! To the characters tab, with ye.
@DocTachyon I edited my CS and defined Simon's weaknesses a bit more to show the extent of his powers and added a more in depth description of his candy mimicry ability
Just add a couple more sentences to personality. Also, how strong is the lightning? Can he, like, blow up a car in one shot? Less powerful than that? More?
I edited my CS, and updated the broken pics. Let me know Thanks.
If I'm going to allow you the power level you're at now, I'd like to see a high-casual sheet for something like this(and even then, I dunno if I can allow being bulletproof.)
Otherwise, axe the adamantium claws and go for something more earth-metal(you can make it cut through a lot, but I dunno about adamantium. And, inf addition to all of his other abilities, I don't think Spiderman level dexterity is appropriate. I mean, Spiderman can dodge bullets pretty casually. And like I said before, I don't think being bulletproof will fly, sorry.
@DocTachyon candy mimicry is so that he can change his body to match those of candy for offensive and defensive purposes
I mean, I guess I could see an advantage if you were trying to strech or be much lighter or something. But don't say something like "I copied the effects of peppermint, so I'm now immune to bullets" and we should be good on that front.
@DocTachyon: What are you aiming for me adding? It's just that she has an image, so I'm trying to figure out what else to describe in her appearance aside from height. ^^;
You could go into more detail about some acessory she has or something? ex. "Her necklace is made frim a rare element, Awesomeomium."
Accepted. Just add another sentence or two to her appearance when you get the chance, okay?
Tyler McCain
I don't quite know if I can accept this yet. The concept is great, but the whole things a little short considering his power level. Also, I'm noting a distinct lack of weaknesses. Just add one or two of those and just add a little more to history/personality and you'll be all set. Also, your images are broken. Gimme a link?
Dan Smith
Can you expand more on his powers? What's the extent of his lightning control? Does he spontaneously generate lightning? Call it down from the clouds? How powerful is it? How severe is his weakness to water?
Caeser Paladin
Cool, I like Dragons. That said, it's short for its power level. But, regardless, I think it's a tad over the power level I was shooting for. However, if you remade him as a villain, the power level is probably appropriate. Also you just need one more sentence or two on the appearance.
Goth Sulkman
Accepted. And do you know why you're accepted?
Simon Strange
You know, I do like the occasional Candy Hero. But, what are the extent of his powers? How strong are they? What purpose would candy mimicry accomplish? When did he get so good with Martial Arts(I'd be down if you told me a specific discipline, as I could assume he got lessons or whatever) and tech? What does 'good at science' mean? Engineering? Biochem? Medicine?
Would it be rude if I were to use the art but credit/link them anyways? D: I'm assuming said artist used a translator to tell me they don't speak english..
Id say go ahead and use it. I doubt anyone would care that you used one peice of art on one little roleplay on one site, without even claiming it was your own.
Yes, but, I've been a tad preoccupied with studying and haven't found the time to go through CS's. I'll be able to go through them either when I have a study(which I may/mau not today...) or as soon as I return home from school.
Welcome to Archer City, housed right in the lovely state of New York. Newly minted, and bigger than The Big Apple. What could go wrong, right? Anyway. Things have been pretty swell here-- when the super villains stay away, anyway. But we got a whole host of superheroes at our backs to keep 'em off. Heck, it's practically an american pastime to watch the Heroes do what's right. What could go wrong?
Hello, everyone! This is Spectacular! A more lighthearted sort of superhero RP.
City Districts
(more may/may not be added!) Entertainment District: Located in the heart of Archer City, the Entertainment District is where the party's at! This is where a whole bunch of Movie Theaters, regular Theaters, and some radio stations are. Arguably the most well known area of Archer City, if a supervillain wants to make a bang, he'll make his introduction here.
Waterfront District: The waterfront district really has two parts- The Docks, and The Beach. The Beach is home to firework shows and lots of fun under the sun. Days where people aren't on the beach are very rare, the weather's usually fantastic. The Docks are a bit of a different story. Lots of shipping crates and old, abandoned warehouses(which, in itself, is amazing that they're already abandoned. I mean, the city's only a few years old.). More than once, villains have picked various warehouses as their base of operations.
The Wrecks: A few blocks of destroyed buildings from when a gigantic monster attacked a few months ago, no biggie, though. No casualties. Anyway, this place is mostly home to skaters and graffiti artists now. They're all usually pretty chill people.
Downtown: While it's not actually 'downtown' in terms of directions, Downtown is where the Police station is. Additionally, you'll find Archer City Prison- it's been specially upgraded to house all the baddies the heroes round up.
Uptown: In Uptown, you'll find a lot of high rise buildings- not quite as many as the entertainment district has, though. Buildings in this area tend to be more office buildings than not. But, this district is where Crystal Tower is located, home to the legendary superteam, the Infinite Knights! You'll also find a few old factories in this district.
The Burbs: Good old suburbia! Located all around the outside of the city.
The Kenny District: The Kenny district is, by all accounts, a strange place. It is occupied by only one man. Kenny. When the city was being built he declared the district his own, and it's been that way ever since. This is because Kenny can clone himself. Thousands of Kennys inhabit the Kenny District. That said, they're all pretty nice guys. Some might presume that Kenny is a super villain, but this would be false, as he really hasn't done anything evil. Except, he only asks that once a month, every month, a shipment of bagels is delivered to the Kenny district. No one knows if they eat them, or do something else with them...
Notable Groups and People
(more may/may not be added!)
The Infinite Knights: The Infinite Knights are the world's top superteam! However, after stopping the gigantic monster attack a few months ago, most of them are away on a space mission. Only a few token members are currently on earth.
The Police: The Police are all pretty swell. They tend to be very helpful towards heroes, and sometimes even provide them with equipment.
The High Roller Gang: A gang of the rich and powerful. Most of their crimes are business related things, but sometimes they’ll fund a heist and superheroes can intervene.
The 7th Street Gods: A typical street gang.
The Mobius Club: A group of supervillains form The Mobius Club, headed by an enigmatic Mr.Mobius.
The Heroes: A much smaller, very new hero group. They haven’t got many members.
Rules
1. The better your CS, the more powerful I’ll let your character be. That said, there’s no hard cap on character power, but try to keep it towards Spiderman level and you should be fine.
2. GM’s word is law.
3. No godmodding, powerplaying, using other people's characters, etc.
4. Shooting for a softer PG-13/PG here. For reference, think if it would be acceptable in the current running Spiderman cartoon, or the Justice League Unlimited cartoon. That said, swearing is allowed, just try not to go overboard.
5. I expect posts to be at least a parapgraph.
6. If you’re reading, put the word ‘Spectacular’ at the bottom of your character sheet.
7. Obviously, no Mary/Gary sues.
8. Try to keep activity. Posting once a week should be fine. If you’re going to be absent for longer than that, I will assume responsibility for your character. Alternatively, you can tell me if you’d like another RPer to temporarily take the character’s reins.
9. No DC or Marvel characters. Please and thank you.
8.Put your character in the OOC tab. Once it’s approved, it may be moved to the Characters tab.
9.Yes, yes you can be a villain. I won’t be accepting too many, though.

One movie against several? I don't see how that makes dark dominant?
Also, Winter Soldier and Iron Man 3 were pretty dark. Both the Hulk movies were dark. A whole lot of comics right now are super dark. Thor the Dark World was reasonably dark. I haven't seen it, but I understand the new FF was overly dark. Also, the X-Men movies have been pretty dark and political.
@DocTachyon Are you going to make the OOC thread soon?
It will be up either tonight or sometime Monday afternoon.
