Marvel Comics: Dawn of X

Hi @Ruby and @Ezekiel, I know I'm not accepted, currently, but was curious when you anticipate starting the RP.

Guardians

Just curious, @ChaoticLaw, when are you anticipating kicking this off?

Salutations.

Welcome! I recently joined as well and it seems like this place has a lot of potential. Hope you enjoy it!

Devlin

---

Theme

Name: Dr. Devlin O'Dwyer

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Appearance: Devlin's elongated stature can be a bit intimidating at first. He is tall and slightly imposing, although his limbs are thin and his muscles lack the tonality of an athlete. Standing at about 6'7" (or roughly 200cm), Devlin often looks wraithlike as he typically wears long dark coats, a wide brimmed hat and a porcelain mask that serves to cover his facial disfigurement. His skin is pale; a result of his bonding and reclusiveness. Were he to disrobe, one would see a thin, white hairless body decorated in black, branching veins. Were one to remove his mask, the regret would be almost instantaneous.

Personality: Devlin's personality could be described as borderline bipolar. There will be moments when he is quiet, introspective, introverted and calculative. And, yet, there are other times when he is just the opposite: sarcastic, jovial, humorous and full of zest. The switch often depends on his level of adrenaline or sobriety. The mild mannered, sober Devlin is a far cry different than the Devlin you'll meet in battle or after imbibement.

Abilities/Powers:

Tendril Generation
Devlin has the ability to generate black tendrils from his body that can serve a variety of applications. Offensively, the tendrils can be used bluntly to bludgeon a foe or the tips can be focused and hardened like the tip of a needle to puncture an enemy. Defensively, they can be used to protect Devlin in a manner similar to a boxer covering his body with his raised fists; the tendrils can cover Devlin as a form of protection, though the effectiveness of the protection is hardly impenetrable. Additionally, these tendrils can aid Devlin's movement, allowing him to climb heights he otherwise wouldn't be able to or to traverse distances at speeds beyond his natural legs' capabilities. Each tendril can stretch out as far as 25 ft (or 7.62 meters) and the number of tendrils he can generate at once is indefinite. While the tendrils do not immediately heal from damage in real time, a damaged tendril can be recalled and a new, fresh tendril can be produced to take its place. Any damage taken by the tendrils are felt by Devlin in a similar manner as he would feel if any of his other appendages were harmed.

Weaknesses/Vulnerabilities:

Human Core Physiology
Tendrils or not, Devlin is still wholly reliant on his skills and training to be effective in combat and to survive. His ability does not make his core body any less fragile than it was before the bonding process. In concept, he's just a humans with extra limbs that he can call upon and therefore has all the same physical vulnerabilities.

Warped Psychology
Devlin isn't exactly a loose cannon, but in the heat of battle his adrenaline can raise exponentially which, in turn, leads him react in a far less predictable manner as his endorphins send him into a state of chaotic glee. Once in this state, his actions become less calculated and more instinctual which can, at times, be a boon.

His resting psyche isn't much less fractured. Often appearing stoic and uninterested, Devil has historically found it particularly challenging to gain trust and kinship, even from fellow guardians.

Specialized Equipment: While Devlin's ability certainly has its uses, if an enemy were to get within close combat range, Devlin would potentially lose his advantage. It is because of this that he keeps twin barong machetes on his person.

Additionally, Devlin's experience as a chemist has led to several formulas and concoctions that produce varying results. The inside of his overcoat is lined with several pockets, many of which house vials of useful ingredients or cocktails capable of chemical or medicinal reactions.

Biography: Popular, handsome, respected, the life of the party... Devlin was a man who thrived in any social circle that he stepped in. A chemist by trade, Devlin was very smart and inquisitive as he tried to find creative solutions to the world's Abomination problem.

A naturally gifted academic, Devlin soared through medical training, earning his degree and immediately putting his training to work to help with the frightful foes that has made our world their own. His various experiments had mixed results across the board and led Devlin to the only true conclusion: To help understand how to end the Abominations and harness the power of respite, he would have to risk everything and go all in.

He submitted himself to The Bonding in order to become a Guardian and get a more intimate understanding of the alien presences. Though he survived the process, it came at a cost. His mood had changed, his body had morphed and his face... his face had been ruined. Horror, shame and determination motivated Devlin to keep going. If it wasn't for the protection of mankind, it was for his own personal vengeance against the monsters.

Though parts of his scientific mind remained intact, his base psychology was forever changed. He was a monster now, just like them and he would punish the Abominations for it until his dying breath.

Guardians

I hope he pleases.

You have my interest! Lovecraft + Superpowers = what ought to be a fantastic time and a great story!

Titans Academy

Lincoln 'Link' Thrope

@Lord Wraith

Lycanthrope, lmao. I gotcha. I started watching Teen Wolf tonight after hearing Paramount+ is about to do a movie. Seems interesting!

In terms of the RP, if the one I am trying to join remains stagnant, I will have a character proposal soon.

Marvel Comics: Dawn of X

For consideration:

Aiden, "Ifrit"

Name. Aiden
Alias. Ifrit
Age. 36
Place of Birth. Ballyshannon, Ireland

Powers.

Fire Manipulation

While he lacks precision, Ifrit can both create and manipulate flame in a variety of ways with potential limited only to his imagination.

Fire Absorption

Flame is a part of Ifrit's being. As such, he is able to amplify his state of being by absorbing flames that are independently created. For instance, if his stamina were to fail him and he is near a raging fire, he can take in the power of the flame to reinvigorate himself. He is at his most powerful peak at the center of an inferno.

Fire Immunity

Fire, in any form, does not harm or damage Ifrit in any way. He is 100% fireproof and incapable of burning.

Fire Aura

Under the right circumstances, Ifrit can engulf himself in an aura of flame as a defensive manuever. This defensive technique is usually fueled by the heat of passion as opposed to being intelligently executed. In addition, he also has a passive aura that protects articles in Ifrit's direct contact from being destroyed by flame such as his clothes, accessories or even people who are making a direct tactile connection.

Teleportation

Ifrit has the potential to teleport. His control of this ability is severely lacking. Logistically working identical to others of his kin, his teleportation is a process in which he enters a foreign dimension and, almost simultaneously, re-emerges in an entirely new location on Earth, leaving the smell of brimstone in his wake. The distance in which he can teleport is severely limited and his grasp of the ability is currently very loose. This ability is mostly used as an instictual defense, devoid of strategy and logistics. Many people have fight or flight tendencies. For Ifrit, it's fight or bamf.

Decelerated Aging

Ifrit is not immortal, but the climax of his maturity is centuries away. He will remain a being who looks in his prime for many decades to come.

Enhanced Durability

Ifrit can take a hit. While he can be broken with enough applied force, he can survive quite the beating. If a car were to run into him at cruising speed, he would be bruised and slightly dazed, but wholly intact. Forces beyond that velocity will certainly take their toll on his physical health.

Enhanced Strength

Ifrit cannot lift a city bus overhead with a single hand, but he could certainly flip a car on its side if properly motivated.

Enhanced Agility

Fast, agile, aloof. Ifrit is exceptionally quick on his feet and often moves as a parkour artist does. Where humans have limits to the scapes they can traverse, Ifrit has very few, able to ascend walls, leap great distances, and perform feats of quickness to an exceptional degree surpassing that of an average human.

Prehensile Tail

Ifrit has a very useful tail that often works as an extra limb, able to hold objects and weapons with expert handling, as well as being strong enough to withstand Ifrit's weight if he were to be suspended from it.

Horn Protrusion

Ifrit has a pair of very conspicuous horns. The material that makeup the horns are very tough, but not unbreakable. However, were his horns to ever be damaged or severed, they would eventually grow back and fully recover over a matter of weeks.

History.
The Neyaphem. Mutants that resemble demons of lore who typically reside in the Brimstone Dimension. Aiden, or Ifrit as he grew to be known, came into this world sharing at least a portion of their blood. The product of a human and a mutant, Aiden often found that he had received the short end of the stick regarding both worlds. His mutation was apparent and undeniable, earning him ire and suspision from the homeosapens. And yet his diluted genes meant that he often found himself the underdog against those of the empowered homosuperior.

Aiden's true parentage remains a mystery as he was abandoned by his mother and sire both. The latter was surely due to apathy, but Aiden always wondererd if the former abandoned him out of fear. Taken in by a disfigured old mutant hermit that referred to himself only as Big Pops, Aiden began to learn the ways of survival in a thick socio-political climate when one's face would not pass for human.

Mastering a bit of stealth, harnessing his street wits, and meeting other street level mutant degenerates along the way, Aiden began to hone his ability to move around unnoticed, take what he needed to survive, and network amongst the supernaturally unique.

When Big Pops finally decided he was out of lessons to teach, he offered Aiden a choice. Continue to live in the shadows with him, moving from place to place living only to survive, or seize a golden opportunity in the form of Xavier's Institute. After a long ponderance and a hard farewell, Aiden agreed to join the school to help harness his gifts and to live amongst the rest of his peers without fear of provocation or descrimination.

That was 18 years ago.

Today, Aiden still find himself heavily associated with the institute, but he is unable to ignore his almost gypsy-like upbringing. Staying in one place for too long makes him uncomfortable so, while he always returns to the hub of his young adulthood, he seldom ever lays his head on the same pillow.

As an adult, Aiden has made a living for himself on Krakoa as a private investigator. While he has no formal authority, he has an inquisitive, calculative mind and several means to find the truth hiding in the shadow. His clientele is almost exclusively the fellow mutants on the isle, but his sense of truth and justice expands beyond that. He would be willing to help anyone in need.

A regular smoker, elusive and independent by design, caring, helpful, sometimes a sinful individual; Aiden tries to be the best version of himself while ignorant of his true roots.

Story Arcs.

The Ripper
The mutant street rats have passed stories of a boogie man. This fiend lives in the shadows, unheard and unseen, and strikes with brutal swiftness. 13 of their urban, gifted brethren have found their insides on the outside. No leads, no witnesses. The homosapien law enforcement units have proven to be lackluster in their efforts and Aiden is finding it harder and harder to stand idly by. Something wicked this way comes, but how might a boogie man fare against a devil? As Aiden meets new faces, he add to his roster of suspects and, potentially, allies in his quest to solve a case that has led to countless misfortune.

Cowabunga!

Shell Yeah Brother. It's Turtle Time.

I too am a total dork.

There are a good few folks here who are good ass writers and often write in comic book settings. Sometimes I try to list a few of them but I usually end up feeling like a dick because the list is too long and I don't want to leave anyone out.

Take a look at some of these for a list of folks to maybe write with, or be like me and mostly just read what they write and try to come up with an idea but miss every single deadline because you're scared of commitment because Sean Fitzgerald bullied you on the playground in 6th Grade and now you don...

Anyway only the first one, Ruby's, is active but the others have some great writing and some great writers

If none of those spike your interest we can't be friends. I'm lying, we still can be friends. One day I want to start an RP about the Department of Multi-Dimensional Time Police Who Know Karate And Maybe Magic. The DMDTPWKKAMM. Let's do it.

@BangoSkank

You have actually named the RP! I am looking at Ruby's X-Men RP currently, but the others are comparably fascinating! Thanks for the heads up!

Cowabunga!

Hello!

I quietly joined a little while back, unsure if I was going to stay, but I found an RP that has piqued my interest and hopefully I'll be around for the long haul! I'm a little kid in a grown person's body, a lover of fun and writing, and an old school Ninja Turtles fan which has inspired the motif. I'm looking forward collaborating with the lot of you all and I hope we can orchestrate some kick ass stories!

I really enjoy super powers, horror, fantasy, mystery and suspense. I'm less inclined toward futuristic sci-fi, but I'll try anything twice! Potential writing partners, RP collaborators, and just some new buddies in general are certainly welcome to hit me up. Looking forward to this place's potential.
