In case anyone is wondering I am not officially back yet My internet situation is sketchy at the moment and I don't want to make promises of being back when I might vanish again due to circumstances.
@Neo Is Delight Fix any faults that I can find, can you look over to see if there are anything that required to change? Thanks

Known as "Bloody Surgeon" for most of his sick person died due to extreme pain that leads to death. There was no problem with his skill as his patient wound are perfectly patched and secured. The problem is he forces his patient to suffer the pain of the whole process of surgery. But that was during when he is still on the mainland. In the sea, his brutality takes to a whole new level. When attacking an enemy ship, he prefers to incapacitate some survivor to only patch them up after the war. The patients will have to suffer having surgery without painkiller. Most of them died but there had been some exceptions. If the patient succeeds to survive the whole operation and starting to have signs of getting better, then he will just give them a simple death. A bullet to the head. Thus, making his death list to be at least few pages long. But he will not do it to all those above him on the ship.

Lamellar: A subtype of laminar. "While Laminar armor was not always made of leather, it was not uncommon. Laminar armor is an armor made of horizontal, overlapping rows of scale plates made of various material. It was popular throughout the Middle East and Asia. If you think of Japanese foot soldier, or a Roman foot soldier's armor often called lorica segmentata, this is it. It's hard to distinguish the difference between Lamellar and Laminar, being essential also made of horizontal rows of plates. However, they were often laced together and not overlapping, and this armor was often worn over padding underneath. So this would be the type a Japanese foot soldier would wear, yet not what a Roman one would wear. So essentially, it could be considered a subtype of Laminar. "(Medival Arms and Armor: Historical Guide to Warfare and Context )
Gabesome: "It was used either on its own, or under chainmail/plate armor, the Gambeson was a thick jacket that could doubly serve for a winter coat. It was made by what we call 'quilting' (the process of sewing two or more layers of fabric together to make a thicker padded material), and its inner layers were filled with various things, such as wool or horsehair. Due to how thick the Gambeson was, it was surprisingly good at protection, though of course men often needed heavier armor to get the job done." (Medival Arms and Armor: Historical Guide to Warfare and Context )
Relic: Vial of Change
Injecting this vial into any living being will grant it the power to create a chemical that causes hallucination and further increase the sensitivity of the brain. This product when inserting into others can increase their regeneration but will cause extreme pain as a side effect. The pain is strong enough to knock a person faint and wake them again. But after a prolonged exposure to the chemical, the patient can be immune to the pain.
Fears
Losing any parts
Got sick by a disease that he could not identify, thus making him died
Fear of everything and himself is only a product of someone's dream
Secret:
His deepest regret was to cure all those that had devastated his family
Goal:
It is fun to torture others without getting killed by the government. And get rich, of course.
History:
My past is for my own, so back off ok?
Side note: -Vlad has a black cat called Luna. - Vlad prefer to call Captain as "Boss."
Okay. Take this with a grain of salt please. First, I'd like to thank you for listening to my concerns.
But, like Angel said. I did things the way I did so you could add to the world. I'm not one of those GMs that likes to be like "This how things are, you have to mold your character in this way." I like the world to mold around the characters.
If your character is 'famous' for being 'The bloody surgeon' then I find it hard to believe nothing is known about his past. Not to mention, he wouldn't have just shown up mysteriously on the ship the day we start the roleplay, and be trusted enough to be given one of these powerful weapons. I would say expand on his history, but you didn't even give us one. I get maybe he wants to keep some stuff unknown, but share with us some of his 'bloody surgeon' days. Share with us his history on the ship. How many people has he killed on the ship? Has he saved any of the crew members lives with his doctoring skills? Stuff like that. Doesn't have to be anything too personal. But stuff people would know.
And about your relic. It needs more info. Honestly, I love the concept, and it actually fit's into the stories about the original heroes, one of them being an alchemist. But, it needs more. What exactly does it do. What are it's applications. What are it's limits. What does it's curse do. And if the pain side of things is supposed to be the curse, the cursed can absolutely NOT become immune to it after any amount of time.
@Neo Is Delight Can you see if anything needed to change? Thanks

Appearance
Vlad is tall, but a little bit thin. He always comes to other as a man in a long black coat and covering his face with a bird-like mask. The coat and the mask show its owner attempt to maintain but failed with many places patched on his coat, cracks or broken pieces on the mask, and the smell of chlorine on his coat. He prefers to wear a lamellar with a gambeson underneath to provide maximum safety for himself.
Positive Traits:

Negative Traits:
Sometimes lack of compassion
Pessimism: Vlad tend to look at the bad sides before looking the good sides
Over thinking
Personality Description
Sadistic, a little bit narcissistic, and clear traits of both sociopathic and psychopathic. He usually prefers to spend his time alone, mumbling, reading, or practicing his skill on a freshly dead corpse. This can be later on stored in a huge glass vial or just simply dumped into the sea. His favorite type of book is philosophy and autopsy.

Unusual sleeping habit: Vladimir only need to sleep about four to five hours each day
Love silent
Odd way to show he is happy. Vlad usually laughs with one or both of his hand holding his mask, bent forward, and laugh until he doesn't find it to be funny anymore.
Specialties
Extremely good at being a doctor.
Good at using musket and flintlock
Extremely good at autopsy: can maintain all internal organ and outside appearance of the corpse if needed
Decent at close melee combat: He is better than the crew but weaker than his fellow teammates.
Hierarchy of power: Vladimir will maintain his respect to his peers. This can be used to ask him favors like trading hostages, but it always came with a suitable price.

Weaknesses
Too strict to tolerate other peoples fault
Not very good at socializing with other
A little xenophobia to strangers. Unless Vlad is used to that person around, anything that is not allowed by his conscious will be considered as a possible threat.
Inventory
A long black coat
A bird mask
1 Musket, and a box of black powder, with bullets
Lot of research tool. But not too highly advance.
2 boxes of surgical equipment.
Lamallar

Fears
Losing any body parts
Got sick by a disease that he could not identify, thus making him unable to cure it
Fear of everything and himself is only a product of someone's dream
Secret:
He prefers to torture rather than saving. So for most people, he will not use painkiller or try to stop the blood flow to the area he is going to perform to achieve maximum pain.
Goal:
Kill, steal, plunder, stuff like that.
History:
Ok, we joined because we want to gain something. For you, it is gold and the same for me. So just know that if you could satisfy what I want, then there will never be a reason for you to doubt me.
Side note: -Vlad has a black cat called Luna. - Vlad prefer to call Captain as "Boss."
Issue one: The image. I prefer you use anime/artistic, not real. Issue two: This one isn't too big of a deal, but grammar. I get a mistake here and there, but you have a bunch. Issue three: I ask you to describe what exactly a lamellar and gambeson is, not everyone knows, and of those who don't, very few would be willing to google it as I did, so it's necessary for people to know what they are if your character wears them often. Issue four: Did you not want your character to obtain a relic down the line? You'll remember in the int check I said you would be decided what sort of artifact your character obtains later, and as such, that is necessary in the character sheet.
Please don't be concerned that I addressed these as 'issues', they aren't too severe, and I really do love your character concept. I would just ask you to at least consider these things mentioned. ^.^
Gender: “Elvira is a she. Does Elvira look like a boy? Should Elvira wear makeup?”
Allegiance: “Elvira does what the scary woman says.” (Aka America, following Waller’s orders)
Occupation: “Elvira is supposed to be working?! Elvira needs to go find a job then.”
Appearance: “Can you not see Elvira? Did Elvira turn invisible?! Elvira is worried!” The first thing to note about Elvira is that she’s albino. This means her skin is pale, unless she’s been in the sun, in which case she’s probably red as a tomato; her hair is white, long, and unkempt; her eyes are red. Beyond that, her fashion consists of a worn dress, bare feet, a couple padded gloves. For accessories, she has four spiked bracelet, one on each ankle, and two holding her gloves on her hands, and a collar of similar design.
Personality: “Elvira likes candy, puppies, kitties, butterflies, stuffed an-” Let the narrator handle this one Elvira. In one word, most people would either describe her as ‘cute’ or ‘odd’. On one hand, she’s like most every kid. She likes anything cute, and adores sugary treats. On the other hand, she refers to herself in third person, and can be known to give people too much information. She is talkative, and always honest, a bad combination if you decide to share any secrets. To top it off, she’s prone to quick changes of the mood, not really in a ‘mood swing’ sense, but more like it’s easy to make her mad, or sad, or any of her emotions really. This can result in her being even more talkative than usual, or giving people the silent treatment, or as some have come to call it ‘oh thank god’.
Backstory: “Elvira was raised in a white room with lots of stuffed animals. Elvira found a shiny eye in one of their stomachs once, but it was gon the next day. Is Elvira crazy?” Elvira’s history isn’t clearcut. Her origins are unknown, and it isn’t even really known if she’s entirely human. She was found one day by the government agency with her little robot partner when she was three, when they tried to catch the strange girl, they were fully armed and even had a tank. She broke the tank, and then fell asleep. Since then she was raised in a small white room, taken out daily for training and tests. Waller was the head of this program, intending to use her as a weapon to defeat the Russian’s best weapon, though after numerous tests found this to be an unlikely scenario, given her weak durability. With using her as a full on weapon of war out of the question, she was instead used as a weapon for smaller things. Like breaking up drug rings, and other internal conflicts. Though she was never given any formal combat training, and instead was just told to ‘hit that’, so as to avoid any rebelling. Of course she still did plenty of that, being a kid and all, but she was usually kept happy and unrebellious with new gifts of cute stuffed animals.
Elvira was once given what everyone else perceived to be an extremely ugly stuffed animal. She swore it was the most adorable thing, and carried it everywhere. A new government agent working at the facility she was being raised in saw it, insulted it, and even tried to throw it away. He was found about a mile away from the facility...luckily he was a powered individual, with superhuman durability so she just knocked him out. “Elvira still hasn’t forgiven that awful man. Fluffers is the cutest thing Elvira ever owned.”
Equipment: -Fluffers- “Elvira loves Fluffers. Elvira is sure Fluffers loves her too.” One of Elvira’s many stuffed animals, though unlike her others, this one is often traveling with her. Most people find it to be ugly, and the fact that it’s been worn down over the ages doesn’t help any, but to Elvira, it is her most prized possession. Try and throw it away if you dare.
Powers/Skill/Abilities: -Big things come in small packages- “Elvira hit’s hard. The scary woman says Elvira can only hit who she says to though.” Elvira doesn’t have any overly special power. She just has enhanced strength. Meaning, if she hits you, you’re going to feel it. Her total strength is said to be greater than Superman’s, but as she lacks the durability to match she can’t hold out in a fight for very long. -Cinder- “Elvira likes Cinder. Cinder is Elvira’s friend.” ‘Cinder’ is the little floating robot she carries with her. Cinder is a simple little robot, it doesn’t try to emulate emotions, rather it just floats alongside Elvira, observing and recording everything around it. It has a mini flamethrower built into it for self defense, fuel source unknown. -Sturdy but Brittle- “Elvira can hit, but doesn’t like to be hit. Elvira doesn’t like the pain.” Put simply, she can use her strength to it’s fullest potential, without shattering every bone in her body when she does. Does that seem overpowered and unfair? Not at all. Because her bones are only resistant to her own strength, not external force. She’s actually rather brittle, and it doesn’t take super strength to exploit this. For example, while she might be theoretically able to stop a moving vehicle with her strength, the external force of the vehicle hitting her would still crush her, so she would have to be a little more creative and make a small crater for it to fall in, instead of trying to stop the vehicle itself.
The land of Aria is a magical place full of many myths and legends, some holding more truth than others. One such tale, being one children's tale of a group of heroes and a demon. Famerin(fa-meer-in) was said to be the demon that would bring the end. Five brave heroes, with the help of a powerful mage, crafted weapons with which they trapped Famerin in an eternal prison, bringing peace to the land for many years. That is what the tales say, there are varied versions, some holding more truth, but that is the most common. What people don't know, is that it's not some fairy tail. Famerin is a real demon, and the six heroes really trapped the demon in what was meant to be an eternal prison. But even the most intricate of prisons have flaws, the flaw in this one? Mankind. The prison was the grimoire of the mage, and was locked using the weapons of the other five as a sort of key, and only by gathering them was the lock supposed to be removed. Over time however, mankind stopped believing in magic, weakening it significantly, causing this lock to deterierate, though not enough to free the demon. The grimoire, found it's way onto an imperial trading vessel, which as luck would have it would come to be siezed by pirates.
Character sheet requirements: Character sheets are going to be done just a little differently here. I'm not going to give you a template, because I want you to give me what you think is important. While making your sheet, do keep in mind you'll be known by everyone on the ship already, be it only for a week, or for however long you've been on the ship, so if people would know something about you, it's probably important and should be mentioned.
Can you make a 'non-human'? I'm going to say, if you can sell me the idea. Don't however get upset if you craft this idea for a non-human, and I ask you to make a human instead. Aria has it's supernatural stuff, but it's not common enough for every member of the ship to be such, so I'll be limiting it by both number and creativity.
The US side will be trying to overthrow the Soviet side, primarily by killing Superman. The Soviet allies will obviously try to stop that.
It's Cold War with superheroes, basically.
Hm. Okay. =^.^=
I'm going to ask an odd question: Do our characters have to be heroes? I assume since Waller is in charge some of the people would more or less be there against their will, but I don't want to assume things. But also, it's Waller, and since she's a b**** it's an easy assumption XD
