@Lady SeluneI guess I'm not opposed to that, but what's the difference? I really only used psychic as shorthand for him conjuring them from nowhere.

Huh, pic shows up fine for me on my phone and my computer. Anyway I understand; that's why I tried to make him more down to Earth than those heroes would normally be (IE basically a homeless weirdo who no one really thinks is sane) but if it's too out there I'll try to think up something else.

The Elusive M

Real Name: Jacob Jacoby

False ID Name: Donald Pleasantson (The Elusive M)

Nationality: British

Age: 31

Height: 6'6"

Weight: 245 lbs

Appearance: Grey and white suit pictured above when "on duty"; otherwise looks like a fairly unassuming, though muscular, man with red hair and brown eyes. Often fidgets as though he's impatient, even when he isn't.

Other Appearance: A very square face with two missing front teeth. It should be noted that no one could figure out what the prominent M on his belt represented.

Superpowers: Control of psychic forcefields. The psychic energy manifests as a clear fluidic substance, like looking through water. He can fashion simple items out of it, like keys or needles, but no complex machines or anything of that nature. He can surround his body with the fields for minor boosts to his strength and endurance, and is also able to "shoot" projectiles made from the same fields.

Skills: Is somewhat fluent in French, though is obviously not a native speaker. He also has simple lockpicking skills and is very good at surviving with meager supplies (scavenging, fashioning clothing, etc.)

Personality: Seems somewhat neurotic, almost completely unable to control impulse decisions when he feels justice! must be dealt, unless he knows for sure that self-control will serve a greater good. He's very proud of himself even though he prefers to be seen as humble. Doesn't seem to comprehend that morality is more than black-and-white.

History: Jacob Jacoby (which is almost certainly a fake name) has been plaguing the greater London area for some weeks after the bombings began, seemingly thinking himself the best authority to dole out justice! in the chaos that ensued. He did more to terrify the populace than anything, though some small degree of good came out of his efforts. Evidently at some point he figured he would do more good on the front and applied -- fully costumed -- for the British army. He was arrested on the spot. But word of his abilities reached Maria Bianco after he demonstrated them in a failed escape attempt.. He's something a loose canon; not so much in that his loyalty to Britain is in question, and more that his "moral outbursts" could jeopardize more delicate missions. Still, with someone around to reign him in from time to time he could prove a valuable ally.

Equipment: Cigarettes, assorted candies, a flask of whiskey, probably all for trade. He also brought his M belt buckle along with him, though the rest of the outfit had to stay behind for obvious reasons.

Any good? I hope I'm not being too flamboyant with this, I'm going for a sort of golden age superhero here like you would see from comics in the time period.

I think this is a great idea but have no idea what my powers should be. I think I'll wait to see what other people do first and then kind of fill the void, so to speak.

Edit ah screw it I'm just gonna go for it

City of Jade

Well we've started but anyone who hasn't finished their character yet doesn't need to be in a hurry.

And if you have a specific entrance in mind you can PM me and we'll work it in secretly.

City of Jade

I hope I've provided you all with a suitable location to meet up and get to know each other!



The climb up Wua-Sho has been a miserable one, of blood and sweat and ever thinner air. Animal attacks, starvation, freezing, exhaustion, all these dangers pale to the hardest obstacle you've yet faced in your journey; that of simple, mind numbing attrition. The mountain doing all it can to turn you around. The only kind thing Wua-Sho has provided is the abundance of fleshy pink fruits that grow along its ridges, and even those are beginning to taste foul.

How long has it been? The last time you were able to see the lights of Harutoma city was something like a week ago, that was before the fog set in. Maybe two weeks. Two weeks of battling this mountain.

But you've nearly beaten it.

Ahead is a clearing of grey stones and green grass. Paper lanterns hang from ornamental poles between the stones (how they are still lit is not apparent), and just ahead of that clearing is a wrought iron gate, open but not inviting. Stairs are beyond that -- the final six thousand stairs, it is said, that lead to the City of Jade itself. One last push is all it will take.

Perhaps a rest on one of the stones first?

Hell yeah! What tone are you going for?

City of Jade

@jumpadrawI think it's cool as hell; I was hoping we'd get somebody with a bit of a mercenary attitude. It's neat that he's a foreigner as well. Add him to the list!

His Luck is 5, a pretty popular number it seems.

City of Jade

@VecYou can always change your mind later or tweak it if it's bugging you. We're here to have fun so I don't think anyone would object to you doing that.

City of Jade

@Grueslayer Hehe, yeah. About that technique, I was wondering if I could add one of my own. It's quite simple actually.

I call it Empowerment. The user activates their internal strength/chi/qi/power anyway, and boosts their next attack. I don't know exact percentages, so I'll leave it to you to balance however you want.

If not, I guess I'll go with Displacement.

@Vec

We can consider Empowerment to be like Detection in that it boosts your Chi, except Empowerment is stronger with the disadvantage that it only lasts a single round. That sound good?
