A p p e a r a n c e Arthur stands at 5’11’’ and weighs 175 lbs, possessing a very slim and athletic build. His skin is very pale, seemingly never tanning in the sun. His skin is mostly blemish free, save some scars from his days wandering the wastes. Arthur has medium length brown hair, which he keeps parted to his left side. He hasn’t changed his hairstyle in years. One of the first things people notice about Arthur is that he has heretochromia. One eye is brown in color, while the other is blue. Arthur tends to wear athletic wear most days, prioritizing his ability to move freely in them over style or fashion. His clothes are generally mono color in design, usually a simple black, blue, or grey. The one thing Arthur does indulge in is running shoes, as he is always looking for new pairs when he is exploring the land outside the Order.

R e l a t i o n s h i p s Sexuality: Bisexual Willingness towards romance from 1 to 10: 4 Living family members: Kevin Romero (Father) Any current companions: None

P e r s o n a l i t y Arthur can be described as the strong, silent type, appearing very aloof. This is not helped by the fact that he rarely initiates any conversation, preferring the company of his own thoughts to whatever others have to say. This stems back to his many years living in the wastes, where he learnt to rely on himself and no one else. This is particularly of note with his own family as he blames his father for the death of the rest of his family. This anger that he holds onto has aided Arthur in his role as a soldier, as his acts of violence work as a release for him. Another quirk caused by the failure of his relationship with his father is that Arthur is always looking for validation from others. In recent years he has found validation from the Order, as they praise him for as long as serves them. This means that Arthur accepts orders without question, and has dedicated his life to fulfilling said orders.

B a c k g r o u n d Arthur was born in New Orleans, five years before the great disaster. For the first few years, Arthur had a normal childhood, living with a loving family. But then the world was changed irrevocably. The Romeros were one of the lucky families to escape New Orleans as it was engulfed in a mega-hurricane and tsunami, wiping it off the map. For the next year Arthur and his family bounced around from one disaster relief camp to another. Soon after that, the government fully collapsed, and the camps broke up. Without a central power, bandits and warlords took over the lands, making life hard for everybody. Within a span of five years Arthur lost almost his whole family to things like raids, famine, and disease. It eventually became just Arthur and his father wandering the lands, just trying to stay alive. It was when things were at their most bleak that they heard of the Order, and the safety they offered. They quickly made their way to the wall of the Order, where they were admitted. Arthur’s father was made a farmer, while Arthur himself was tested and determined that being a soldier would be best. For the next few months, Arthur was put through basic training. His drill sergeant saw something in him and recommended him for experimentation. Given no choice in the matter, Arthur was put through the full experimental procedure. The experiment nearly killed Arthur, leaving him sickly and weak at first. However, within a few weeks Arthur’s strength returned as his powers developed. Now with the power of enhanced speed and agility, Arthur was assigned the job of a scout. It was his job to leave the walls of the Order and look for survivors, supplies, and enemy movement. Arthur has taken greatly to this role as it allows him to travel and remain in the solitude of his own company.

Roger D’Monty

The flickering lights of the cafeteria caught Roger’s eye as he entered the room. He was pretty sure they had fixed that last month, but alas it seemed to have started again. While slightly annoying, Roger didn’t consider it a crucial issue, as he just came here to eat and not hang out. He also understood that the University’s focus right now was the Winter Carnival and not on some lighting issues. So, Roger tried to ignore the occasional flicker as he walked up to the kitchen staff. Before he could ask what the special was, the bovine lunch lady pointed to a note on the wall listing what they were serving today.

Roger quickly looked over the list, finding a lot of insect options. It was times like these that Roger wished he was born an omnivore so that he could have the best of both worlds. But as he was a herbivore, Roger selected the grass noodles, a cheap staple among herbivores, and grabbed a bowl of fruit salad for dessert. Carrying one dish in each hand, Roger looked out across the cafeteria to find seating. As it was later at night, the cafeteria was pretty barren, so Roger easily found an empty table where he could eat in peace. As he started to walk over to the table, he was immediately surprised by someone shouting, asking what the special was tonight.

Roger’s fur raised slightly in shock at the intrusion, but he quickly recovered, his body calming down. Taking another step forward, Roger unfortunately wasn’t looking at the ground, and thusly didn’t see the pile of slush on the floor. As soon as he put his foot down, Roger immediately began to slip backward. Through various improbabilities, Roger let go of the fruit salad bowl, causing it to fly into the air. Meanwhile, Roger fell backward onto another table, pushing the food of a pair of deer off the table, as the grass noodles landed on his face. As Roger quickly saw that the bowl of fruit salad was heading right for the black lion who had shouted earlier. Roger muttered an expletive as things seemed to move in slow motion from his point of view.

The Order

Working on a character. Will hopefully have it finished and up sometime today.

Edit: Finished the character sheet. The relationships section keeps on looking a little wonky, so if someone more familiar with bbcode could help me out with it that would be great.

Avengers NEO

Sorry about the delay in the reply. It’s cool to see people interested in this.

@RedXIII
So I as the GM would control all the canon Avengers, but they will mostly be relegated to the role of side NPCs. The players’ original characters will mostly work autonomous of the other Avengers as they are now spread out across the globe. As for story structure, I do envision it being primarily mission based, but also having periods in-between missions in which the players can do what they want to advance their own stories. I would also collaborate with players to work their subplots into the missions. Hopefully that answers your questions.

Avengers NEO

PREMISE

It has been seven years since the new age of heroes began. Starting with the likes of the Spider-Man of New York, the monstrous Hulk, and the return of Captain America, the world has been irrevocably changed. The realization that mutants, aliens, and gods exist has changed the way the people of Earth view each other. Some worshipped these powered individuals, while others despised them, viewing them as monsters. What can agreed upon is that the world is a much more dangerous place now. To deal with this the heroes of the world have joined together to form teams like the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and the Avengers.

While these hero teams were clearly making the world a better place, evil festered very close to them. SHIELD, a UN sanctioned intelligence agency, was tasked with maintaining global peace. However, they were secretly run by a terrorist group called HYDRA. Whenever someone would discover this they would be killed. That was until the Avengers discovered the conspiracy. Being unable to silence the Avengers, HYDRA instead sped up their plans, revealing themselves to the world and launching coordinated attacks on governments around the world. The Avengers stepped in and were able to repel the attacks and capture most of the leaders of HYDRA.

In the wake of this disaster, many nations called for the dissolution of SHIELD. Reluctantly the UN Security Council agreed, disbanding SHIELD. Without a dedicated force policing the world, many criminal and terrorist groups became more bold in their actions. With many leaders questioning what to do next, Nick Fury, former director of SHIELD, approached Captain America, leader of the Avengers. Fury offered the Captain a solution to the current dilemma: have the Avengers protect the world. Captain America agreed, the two of them launching the NEO Initiative.

Over the course of the next few months the Avengers grew massively in size, gaining many support staff, and having many former and reserve members join the team. Another part of the NEO Initiative was gaining new team members. Current members of the Avengers were encouraged to sponsor potential new members of the team. These probationary members would be gathered at the Avengers Mansion in New York, a former Avengers headquarters. There they would be tested to see if they could become actual Avengers.

OTHER INFO

So it’s the start of the New Year and I figure it is a good time to do something I haven’t done in a while, run a roleplay. So anyway the tl;dr is that HYDRA was controlling SHIELD, when it was revealed SHIELD disbanded, so the Avengers are stepping up to defend the world, with the players being potential new Avengers that are a part of the NEO Initiative. All player characters will be OCs with any background that would seem in place in the Marvel Universe, as long as they are not crazy overpowered and are at least mostly heroic. Also each character needs a sponsor member of the Avengers. I’m pretty loose with who the current Avengers are, so I’ll say any character who’s ever been an Avenger in the comics can count as a sponsor for the roleplay. And lastly we would be starting with one character per player at the start, though that could change. Anyways, that’s my idea and I would some of you are interested in it.

Interest check for a super-power, post-apocalyptic RP

Interested in this as well. Haven't played a speedster in years so I might pick that role.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Sorry for the delay in reposting my character sheet. Was busy with my family.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Elias Brenman

Elias Brenman

---

Name

Elias Brenman

Eli

age

24

gender

Cis Male

Sexuality

Heterosexual

Occupation

Convenience Store Clerk

Appearance

Eli stands at a respectable 5’10’’, but is by no means thin. Years of sport and exercise has caused Eli to be in great shape, with full muscles and a toned frame. His face also compliments his figure, with a pretty boy face accented with hazel eyes and wavy red hair. While most of his body looks great, Eli does hide a scar across his chest, the result of a mugging.

Eli’s style can be described as simple. It consists of a lot of plain t-shirts, sweaters, and other basic tops. Eli has always disliked wearing clothes with large logos or graphic designs, and has never personally bought such clothing. The lower half of his body is usually garbed in designer jeans and shoes. However, Eli wears the same pairs a lot has he can rarely afford to buy new pairs due to working minimum wage.

Personality

Eli is a bit of a lost soul. Once sure of himself and his path in life, many bad decisions and twists in life have left Eli unsure of a lot of things. This causes him to always second guess himself and doubt his own abilities. As such Eli latches onto ideas very easily but has problems committing, subconsciously sabotaging his attempts at connecting with things.

Eli puts up a front as the fun party guy. He always seems to fit in with others, at least on the surface. As such most people would call him a good guy, except for those who are truly close to him. Eli tries to prevent anyone from getting truly close to him, for fear of them finding out how big a train wreck he is. Still he persists, trying to find something to live for.

Biography

Eli has lived his whole life in Chicago, born in a good neighbourhood as an only child. For the first few years Eli did well, learning things quickly and making friends easily. But under the veneer of a nice family, conflict was constant between the Brenman parents. With neither of them happy in their marriage, they only remained together for Eli’s sake. But the animosity finally bubbled over at Eli’s Bar Mitzvah. A huge fight broke out, ending with Eli’s mother leaving. For the next year Eli’s parents would get back together and break up again several times. To cope with this Eli threw himself into sports at his high school.

While doing well academically and athletically, Eli was struggling at school socially, starting to smoke pot to deal with his emotions. This only got worse when his parents finally split for good, his mother leaving town. This dealt a massive emotional blow to Eli, who coped by losing himself into partying and reckless actions. This culminated in Eli being found with drugs at school, resulting in him being kicked off the school’s track team. With his main interest at school taken away, Eli lost interest in coming to school, his grades suffering. Somehow he managed to finish out his senior year, just barely graduating.

Unfortunately, the weak state of Eli’s grades meant he was denied by every college he applied to. Left direction less, Eli once again turned to partying. For four years Eli was in a drug fuelled state, not being able to hold down a job. This eventually led to Eli’s father disowning him, changing the locks on his front door. Eli responded by couch surfing among his friends for a few months. It was during this period that Eli was mugged after leaving a party. In a drugged up haze, Eli fought back, only to lose. He woke up a few hours later in the hospital with a broken nose, concussion, and a slash wound across his chest.

It was at this point that Eli really started to question his lifestyle. The final nail in the coffin of this lifestyle would come a month later. After a night of heavy drinking, one of Eli’s friends crashed his car into a pole, with Eli in the passenger seat. While Eli escaped with a bruised rib, his friend was left paralysed. As soon as Eli was discharged from the hospital, he vowed to give up drugs and alcohol. He entered narcotics anonymous, really trying to change his life. He also found work at a local convenience store, not a great job, but at least it was a job. It was finally looking like things were going to change for Eli.

Other

• This character is not disposable.
• Speaks fluent English and Yiddish, and knows some Hebrew
• Carries a switchblade ever since he was mugged
• As a former addict, Eli avoids drugs and alcohol, never stepping into a bar.
• Drinks way too much coffee

Roger D’Monty

The young capybara yawned as he exited the dark classroom, his eyes having a little trouble adjusting to the light in the hallway. For the past two hours Roger had been sitting in the dark, with only a video projector illuminating the room. Normally Roger didn’t mind such a setting as it meant he was watching a movie, however the current film being shown had failed to keep his interest. This was not the first time Roger had seen Citizen Canine, considered one of the greatest films of all time, but it was the first time in several years. While his film professor had hyped up the film for the past few days, Roger still had the same reaction as when he first watched it, apathy. He didn’t get why it was so beloved.

Roger was still considering the merits of the film as he made his way down the hallway. He was eventually snapped out of his considerations by the rumbling of his stomach. Roger realized that he had failed to eat today and was now paying the price. As his stomach growled at him, Roger began to crave Beetle Burger. While he himself did not eat insects, they did have good herbivore options such a bark fries. But Roger then remembered that Beetle Burger locations in New York didn’t serve bark fries. Roger suspected that it was a cultural thing as there was less capybaras in New York then New Birdsey. With his favourite food unavailable, Roger decided to settle for the school cafeteria.

As Roger made his way to the cafeteria, he saw several posters advertising the school’s Winter Carnival. While some of the events mentioned sounded fun, Roger felt a slight pang of self pity when he read about the Winter King and Queen. Roger felt that he was the farthest from being King, being a portly rodent and all, but then again he liked to believe he would be too indifferent to try even if he had a more ideal body. That and it was said that the King and Queen often get together, and Roger wasn’t interested in finding a Queen. But he pushed that thought aside as he entered the cafeteria.

Species:
Capybara
Diet:

~*~

Height:
5’2’’
Weight:
118 lbs
Physique:
Portly
Appearance:
Roger is a Capybara, the largest rodent in the world. He towers over other rodents at 5’2’’, and weighing 118 lbs, which gives him a full round body like most Capybaras. Roger’s body is covered in reddish-brown fur, with webbed fingers, and dark brown eyes hidden under a pair of glasses. Roger wears many different colours of clothing, but most of them feature movie posters or stars.

~*~

Personality:
Roger is a little bit awkward, but still a fun guy. He loves to talk, and go on and on topics that he finds interesting, sometimes to the point that it is a little much. Roger is a fierce friend, always trying to stand up for those he cares about. While he doesn’t usually show it, Roger is very worried about how good he is at things and how others feel about him. But he masks this anxiety with a jolly affect.

~*~

History:
Roger was born to a large family of Capybaras from the New Birdsey Shore. Roger was the seventh of thirteen kids, always feeling like he was forgotten in the massive size of his family. It didn’t help that Roger was a lot different in personality and interests than his family. One such way he was different was that Roger hated the water, something unheard of in a Capybara. While his siblings would go to the beach to surf, Roger would remain home and watch movies. It was in these moments of solitude that Roger found his true interest in life, film. For many years Roger would invest all of his allowance into collecting movies. His family eventually became of his passion for film, so for one special Christmas they gave Roger a video camera so that he could make his own movies. This is still Roger’s favourite gift of all time.

Roger would spend a lot of his teenage years making home movies. But he quickly realized he was terrible at making films. It was around that time that Roger tried posting movie review videos online. After receiving a good response Roger decided that what he wanted to do with his life was talk about film. To that end he applied for the Cinema Studies program at Eukary University. When the letter of acceptance came in Roger’s family was overjoyed but also a little sad since Roger would be leaving the state. As the school year was about to begin, Roger’s parents drove him up to the campus and helped set him up in a dorm room. After having a tearful goodbye Roger turned toward the University, ready to begin the next stage of his life.
