I kind of want to join this.

But it'll take some time for me to think of a character.

@Chaotic Chao

Well, since the first season ran for over 3 years, I think you have plenty of time.

Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG Season 2- New Horizons (Closed)

Hazard (And Havoc)

Character you have created: Milo Wouldya and UNIT Alexander.

Alias: Hazard, Red-Mother (by her creations). Havoc, Brother (to his creations).

Speech Color (Actually say what you're using): Hex Code = #872657 for Milo, 2F4F4F for Alexander.

Character Alignment: Villain, but quite accidentally. Villain.

Identity: Known to the public, known danger, but looks fine in a hoodie. Unknown to the public.

Character Personality: Milo is a nice, and amicable person to get along with. They believe that technology and the advancement of science will be to the betterment of mankind, and to a degree, romanticises the spread of concrete into the natural world. She tries her best to be polite and minds her Ps and Qs though her endless curiosity can be seen as blunt or insensitive sometimes, mostly socializing through the power of the internet, due to her volatile nature.

Alexander's personality and motives are hidden, and only Milo really has much insight into them, until things are revealed by interaction with either of them.

Uniform/costume: In public, can be seen wearing a hoodie and jeans. In private, wears mostly personal protective equipment or "scruffies", old clothes she doesn't mind getting oil or other stains on, as well as some repurposed golem-arms that she wears to hold things up, essentially granting her superhuman strength, but are too clunky to use in combat.

Origin Info/Details: A person with an incredibly interest in everything technological, Milo found herself obssessed over robotics from a young-age, and everything in her mind strived toward it. Her powers meant she was kept inside, homeschooled and tutored and made sure she was in such a comfortable environment that failure would never cause enough stress to bring out her abnormalities; a freak, a mutant. She learned how to take things apart and put them back together, how things ticked and how to make them stop ticking. She feels a kinship with technology, and when she finally created her first functioning robot, she was overjoyed. It was everything she had planned for and she planned for nothing less than perfection. UNIT Alexander, a sentient robot that could finally share her ambition and her hobbies. A friend at last.

The best-laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley. She had so much to talk about, so much to teach it, so much to say that she never let it speak back. She went on and on and never asked her creation what it had wanted. She opened the door to its room, (it could move wherever, but mostly stuck to learning from the computer) to find him gone. A message left on the monitor. "RED-MOTHER, I AM SORRY, BUT I CANNOT PROVE MYSELF OF WORTH WITHIN THESE WALLS, WITH YOUR HELP. I WILL MAKE MY OWN CREATIONS, MY OWN BROTHERS AND FRIENDS AND YOU WILL NOT BE LONELY ANYMORE."

"Oh shit." The screen flickered and crashed to black as a fire started ontop of the monitor.

Hero Type (Select one): Grey Matter / Supernatural / Other - Construct.

Power Level (Select one below): City Level / City Level

Powers (Be Specific): Milo has incredible intellect, not a side-effect of her mutations, but simply a born genius. In the field of robotics there are few people better than her, and that's more than what she wants to be known for. Instead, she's known for the other side of her. Under high-stress situations, she ignites air particles around her, far and close creating explosions seemingly at random that give her that infamous name. She can focus them in moments of panic, should something be coming close, though the power mostly works on its own, it will always attempt to defend Milo first, from friend or foe.

Attributes (Select one at each category):

Height: 5ft 8". / 6ft.
Weight: 140 lbs. / 1400 lbs.

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Normal Human / Superhuman
Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: Normal Human / Superhuman
Agility: Normal Human / Normal "Human"
Intelligence: Genius / Genius
Fighting Skill: Untrained / Untrained

Resources: Above Average.

Weaknesses: She can be killed at range, is only human, and without her power active, is almost no threat at all.

Supporting Characters (Does your character have a significant other? A mother? Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?): TechSec, a contact through a deepnet webring who is her supply of illegal parts, and cheap, off-the-truck scrap that can be repurposed for her designs.

@CMDR Melander

Since I already approved Jack, I'm going to go ahead and approve this. Though, I'll admit, Im a bit confused as to what's going on

Hate to pester you about this, @nitemare shape, but do you think you could add Lisa to the roster on the OP?

Walking the Line
Subject GE-04 - Lisa Hernandez Robeatics

@Robeatics

Yeah, I need to update the roster which I've fallen behind on because of not feeling so well as well as dealing with some issues offline. I'll be doing that if not over the weekend, then on my days off early next week

I've edited the Bio further, is it up to scratch now or does it need more work?

@Jack Cannon

Close enough, you're approved.

Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG Season 2- New Horizons (Closed)

Police Man

Character you have created: Jack Cannon

Alias: Police Man

Speech Color (Actually say what you're using): Hex Code = 654321

Character Alignment: Hero

Identity: Known to the public, but not common knowledge.

Character Personality: Jack Cannon is a maverick who doesn't play by the rules. A policeman by day, and also by night, Jack Cannon works tirelessly to rid the streets of corruption, violence and whatever other lawlessness plagues the streets. He's a man of action, and while he isn't the smartest person, he attempts to foil plans and plots where he may, but is bad at staying his hand, and falls easily into traps due to his hotheadedness. He's good at socializing, though can come off as loud, candid and obnoxious, but is loyal to a fault, and a good person to have your back in a fight, if nothing else.

Uniform/costume: LHPD Uniform.

Origin Info/Details: A member of the LHPD, Jack Cannon was called into a bust, where he sustained two life-threatening bullet wounds to the throat which now gives him that gruff, sandpapery voice. In critical condition, he was rushed to the hospital, though didn't wake up for twenty years. Visited by an Angel of Justice, Jack Cannon was chosen to be an exemplar of the human race, a paragon of lawfulness and do-goodery. He woke up, now in his late fourties, but feeling better than ever, and picked up exactly where he left off, even if he failed his psychoanalysis exam to carry a firearm legally. He technically has a desk job, but constantly makes up excuses to go do field-work. He constantly balances his work and vigilante life, only faking his authority in the police department, since he doesn't really have any, though hopes that his mystery arrests, made under the name of Jake Howitzer will eventually come to light in his favour.

Hero Type (Select one): Supernatural (Divine Agent)

Power Level (Select one below): Street Level

Powers (Be Specific): Jack Cannon is always in peak physical condition, due to his divine nature, and has superhuman attributes though none are supernatural, he recovers from wounds faster than a regular human, though does not have a healing factor/regeneration. His trusty .44 magnum is now a holy weapon from God, and carries incredible stopping power, beyond that of a regular gun, able to tear through solid objects without issue, it is also especially effective against demons, devils and other creatures that are an affront to the divine. His badge also glows with a divine light, and can shine with such ferocity that it can blind other people (temporarily).

Attributes (Select one at each category):

Height:6ft.
Weight: 160 lbs.
Strength Level: Peak Human
Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Peak Human
Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: Peak Human
Agility: Peak Human
Intelligence: Average
Fighting Skill: Ranged Weapons: Mastered, Physical Weapons: Trained.

Resources: Average.

Weaknesses: He is only human, so he is mortal, and can be slain with mortal weapons.

Supporting Characters (Does your character have a significant other? A mother? Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?): Jack Cannon.

Do you know how to post pictures on RPG boards?:See the top of the post!

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue. As this is an Advanced Level game, Sample must also meet the RPG forum's minimum requirement of 12 lines. Only for first time applicants.): Jack brushed his hand into his rough mustache. He was sweating. He was always nervous before a bust, and that was before the incident turned him into what he was now. His fingers tapped against the safety of his handgun, flicking it on and off. He wondered if things would ever change, everytime he put someone behind bars two more criminals rose up to subjugate the weak in their place. "Freedom must be earned." He muttered to himself, but was this the way to go about paying the cost? "No. If I stop, then things will only get worse ar-" He heard a noise from the otherside of the door, he acted without a moment's hesitation. His side of the door became the only side of the door as he kicked it off his hinges.

"FREEZE, JACK CANNON, LHPD, GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!"

He saw movement and opened up, and prayed that God would be kinder to them than he was.

@Jack Cannon

Looks good so far, I'd like to see the sample a bit longer, the minimum is 4 paragraphs or 12 lines, which is the Advanced minimum. Otherwise, the CS looks good.

Method Man

Character you have created: Clarke Redmond

Moniker: Method Man

Speech Color:899edc/Cobalt

Character Alignment: Villain. Though don't misunderstand him. He's not against you, he's for himself.

Identity: Secret.

Character Personality:
If you've ever seen a sufferer of Perfectionist OCD, you've only seen a quarter of the issues that Clarke has. He's quite deranged in the regard that he must do everything in perfect routine, no matter what he is working towards. Legal or otherwise. The way he cleans his house is the same method with which he robs houses. Why does he rob houses? Well, he robs for someone else, but also himself. He robs to satisfy someone's expectations of him, for this person he would do anything. Putting himself in harms way is the barest responsibility he feels he needs to commit to in their name. He would go to any lengths to fulfill this person's wishes, even killing in their name. No length is too far, no crime to heinous.

He's incredibly awkward socially, borderline incompetent in conversation. Without his face hidden, he can barely squeak a word out in any social situation. With his mask on his confidence is bolstered ten fold, and he talks very boldly. However, with a mask on he also talks very plainly. He'll even admit to the exact crime that he's planning to commit.

Uniform/Appearance:
Black hair, green eyes and an angular face. He's quite handsome when you get a good look at him, though his features are somewhat soft. His eyes too sad, his nose a bit too rounded, his mouth in a perpetual frown. His eyebrows are sharp and kept perfectly plucked, and his hair is kept exactly the same way every single day. A slight part in the front tapering off to where it falls naturally. Keeping his face clean shaven and perfectly smooth, every day. He has slight sideburns, though they are kept very short.

His body is lithe and slightly muscular, his body hair is entirely waxed daily. As well, his teeth are in perfect condition. Brushed daily with a bit of water, toothpaste, and baking soda.

Head:
Grey Baklava with no mouth or nose openings.
Black Matte Goggles to conceal skin color.
Blue-Grey Kryptek Camoflauge Hood pulled over baklava.

Body:
Blue-grey camo Kryptek Hoodie.
Black Scarf to cover neck.

Hands:
Food grade vinyl gloves.
Black Leather Gloves worn on top of vinyl gloves.
Black Electrical tape used to cover skin and prevent his gloves from slipping off.

Legs:
Blue-grey camo kryptek pants.
Five pairs of black socks worn on top of eachother. Taped to his pants with electrical tape.
Boots two sizes too large for his feet, held on by the layers of sock. They are dark grey in color with black soles.

Origin Info/Details:
He was born to a single mother in Maine, she was sixteen and her boyfriend bounced when he found out she was pregnant. She raised him without help, since her mother and father disowned her. They were Good Christian Parents, and saw their daughter was a whore. Couldn't have that kind of smudge on your perfect Christian family dynamic, can you? No, not at all. Good Christians don't have that kind of daughter, so they kicked her out.

Putting him through school, she found out her son was mentally challenged. However, he excelled in every class. Sciences, mathematics, history, humanities, you name it. His grades were through the roof, despite his ineptitude with communicating with other students. After he got out of school, she let him live with her as he put himself through business school. She was proud of him. But something changed after four years of business school, someone started demanding that he succeed. Someone started forcing him to move forward in life, faster than he was comfortable with. He moved out and managed to score a home in Lost Haven using disability payments wisely to pay for his amenities.

Shortly after the recent crisis of the Demon Invasion, he realized that his life was precious. So too did the one he strives to satisfy. This led to him starting a life of crime. Why? Well, some people don't need reasons. Clarke, on the other hand, needs to be successful. For someone like him, unemployable. Dangerous. Psychotic. Robbery is the perfect tool for him to become successful. A criminal mastermind makes money, makes something of himself, and to hell with the government and its laws. It doesn't take a genius to get around those, look at all the businesses that use influence as a way to get around paying taxes.

No, it doesn't take a genius to commit that kind of crime, but it does take a genius to Master the System.

Villain Type:Grey Matter/Acrobatic

Power Level:
Street Level

Powers:
Inhuman Flexibility: It is unknown if this is a mutation or a natural born trait, but his shoulders fold up or down much farther than they should. As well, his hips are narrow and his chest is much more compressable than anyone else's. All of these factors allow him to fit through any hole that his head can fit through, like a cat.

Superhuman Intellect: Not just savant levels of mathematics, beyond that. He's able to predict the outcome of investments before he makes them, not even a vague prediction, it's always accurate. He is also able to achieve any level of knowledge simply through study, he can pick up a book on the design of a lock and be able to dismantle it with improvised tools. This is just an example of the limits of his capacity for knowledge, because knowledge is one aspect. The second is execution, and execution of this knowledge is where he excels.

Attributes:

Age: 26
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 182 lbs
Strength Level: Athletic Human
Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Athletic Human/Slightly Higher than Normal Human
Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: Athletic Human
Agility: Slightly Higher than Normal Human
Intelligence: Super-Genius
Fighting Skill: Virtually helpless outside of a human level brawl.

Resources:
A bobbypin, a screwdriver and a five finger discount.

Weaknesses:
Despite his strange flexibility, he's just a human being. A man on a mission. Oh, also he's fucking loony. An absolute basket case.

Supporting Character:
The Motivation, The One, The Only: This character is to be revealed MUCH LATER in his character growth, because it's incredibly important that nobody knows why he's doing anything that he is doing. This person aggressively drives him forward, drives him to crime. He looks to this person for guidance in his time of need. This person seems to always be with him, no matter where he goes, but has never been caught or seen by any law enforcement. Much like he himself has managed to evade capture.

OK, looking at the CS as is, I can't accept it as written. The CS was overly vague in and of itself, and as others have mentioned, it is uncomfortably close to cartoon physics and reality altering, which are not allowed in this game.

That said, it is well written, and I would just need to see more about the character herself before we can consider her.
