Working on a post now, when do you want to introduce the living dead?

Shadow of the Skyline

Name: Jim "Conduit" Evanston

Age: 37

Alignment/Position(Good/Evil, Gang-Member, Crimelord, etc.): Kingpin

Preferred Dialogue Color: Cyan 00aeef

Height: 5' 10"

Weight: 175 lbs

Appearance(Pictures not required, but appreciated): Short, coal-black hair, goatee of the same color. Both meticulously groomed, as an obsession. Dark brown eyes, vicious smile, startlingly white teeth. Lean and muscular, long arms. Jagged scar across chest, from below left armpit up over right shoulder. Thick, powerful legs.

Apparel: Prefers a Long Black Trench coat and rubber-soled combat boots. Black work pants and a white undershirt beneath. Wears a black 3 piece business suit and a yellow tie in formal occasions.

Lifestyle Notes (Marriage, Children, etc.): An extra apartment in Blake Tower, the tallest building in the city. Nothing fancy, just a place to hide.

Location (Political/Financial, Port, Commercial, Residential, or Industrial district): Industrial zone, beneath his primary property, the Evanston Metal Recycling plant, much of the East end of the Industrial district, closest to the Port district.

Afflictions: Moderate God Complex

Likes: Water, Smoke/Steam, Hard Work, Control, Fear

Dislikes: Non-corrupt Police, Insubordination, Laziness, Cats

Fears: An Uprising of his own or another Gang

Superhuman Ability and Description: Called by himself as " The Conduit Effect," Jim can drain energy from nearly any source he is in direct contact with. Most often this is electrical energy, as it's the most reasonably attainable. But he is capable of draining actual life and youth straight out of a person, which he does as a demonstration of his power on occasion. He is then capable of channeling this energy as raw electrical power, anywhere from small power surges to full scale thunderbolts or EMP blast waves.

History(At least a paragraph please): Raised working with his father at the port fishery, and motherless, Jim was forced to skip school 2-3 times a month to help his father at work to keep money flowing. Despite this, Jim managed to attend college and study business. Upon the completion of his education, Jim quickly started his Metal Recycling Plant in hopes of supporting his aging father. When his father was suddenly diagnosed with cancer, Jim turned to black business, opening a hidden drug trade through his factory. As his wealth rose, he raced to save the man who had cared for him. Despite what looked like remission, Hank Evanston died at the age of 64. Spurred on by this horrible incident, Jim expanded his operations, until he ran a massive illegal smuggling operation. Buying up more and more of the Industrial district under numerous fake companies and accounts. When the vase was opened, Jim discovered his powers would allow him to solidify his empire. As he forced members of his empire into submission by fear, he thought himself the son of a god. Using his ability, he forced other ganglords into submission, forcing them to pay tribute to him. While he didn't physically own the entire Industrial District, he expressed a vast control over the area.

Follower Information(If Crimelord): Jim's followers call themselves the Wires, like the tendrils of a vast electrical network. They refer to their boss only as "The Conduit" or sometimes "The Generator." Their express purpose is to carry out his will, and they avoid petty crimes like theft or muggings. That dirty work is left to the sub-lords of Jim's empire, the Ganglords and Gangs he has forced into submission and tributation.

@The Narrator Excellent, I look forward to it, I liked your character otherwise
@ShikaruThats fine, we had plenty of interest elsewhere
@dreamingflowersGreat! Look forward to it.

The Spark of Progress- Sci-fi World Building

If you've been accepted, please get to work on the pad, it's very sad and lonely.

Shadow of the Skyline

Okay, should've said this. No characters that are minors. Everyone must be at least 18. @The Narrator I'd really prefer if your chacter was in charge of a gang, rather than being a rather dim-witted sounding minion. But if you can make it work, I wont stop you. Change the age.

Gangs of Gotham - Let the Madness Begin!

We all do, we're waiting on LetterE to finish the OOC

Shadow of the Skyline

@Shikaru No age limit, though characters so old they'd be immobile or senile is not suggested
@FantasyChic No city destroying, no instant slaughter, and no ridiculously OP abilities. Just put something down, and I'll let you know if it's too good.

My own CC will be up soon.

Our Unstable World (Post WW3 RP)

Sad that you have to go, even though we disagreed. You made good point, but the reason Byelorussia could do so well was it wasn't particularly involved in WW3, while Russia and Poland were, so it had an advantage.
I'll do international relations too:

Neo Byzantines: Stable allies due to the shared glory of the Orthodox Religion, and approving of the combat methods used by Byzantine military. They hope to work together in the future.

Neo Hungaria: Byelorussia notes with concern the great strength of the Hungarians, but for the time being has no quarrel with the nation, despite its heavily dictatorial, possibly corrupt government. The Byelorussians would accept not absorbing their territory, as there is other land to be had elsewhere.

Russia: The Russians hold a burning hatred for the Byelorussians, but Byelorussia is not afraid of their crippled enemy. They still hold dreams of conquering Moscow.

Finland: Tensions are high with the Finns, especially over the Leningrad Oblast border. It is expected a war is coming soon.

Iranian Republic: Appreciative of military capability, but otherwise has no real opinion.

American Patriots: Disapproval of the Facist system in place does not leave the Byelorussians looking well on the new Americans, but distance makes this matter less important.

Germany: The Germans are terrified of Byelorussia, given their weakened state after WWIII. Byelorussia has intentions to capture their land eventually.

<Snipped quote by OnlyThePie>

This miiiiight put a little hamper on my plans - since I wanted to make a villain duo - but I'll think of something.

@Mr Allen J

Thats fine, if you don't make a hero, and the duo is generally written in the same post.
