Gathered among the throng shoved together in the Kaiba World™ Grand Amphitheater was the diminutive tortoise inside the robotic shell that was known as Scrimshaw. Currently Scrimshaw was hovering over a group of seats that were situated in the 'nosebleed sections'. Inside the plexiglass orb that revealed the fleshy, well in this case scaly, head that proved not only was this machine not a full machine, but also would show to some observer that Scrimshaw was watching the broadcast intently.

This megalomaniac beyond megalomaniacs had set the wheels in motion for the fated meeting; well Scrimshaw at least hoped that The Creator would be found here. Noting the various parks that were available for playing at the Tortoise racked its enhanced mind to recall which of the park hotels it signed up for. Shortly after this thought Scrimshaw pondered on what to spend the gift card on. While thinking of what possible use it would have the tortoise absentmindedly hovered backwards and pushed back on a poor and unfortunate soul who was sitting directly behind him.

"Eeey shell for brains..." snarled out the patron from behind, a somewhat bulky juvenile rocking a greased up mullet and sporting an open leather jacket revealing a tanned torso. The youth kicked up his feet and placed them right up against Scrimshaw's titanium carapace. "Joo think you can back up into the Puerto Rican Warrior an get away wit it? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Wrong muchacho." And with that the juvenile furiously shoved his feet on the shell, and with the help of gravity, causing Scrimshaw to spiral down the coliseum's seating.
I didn't actually notice that.
It takes a demon to beat a demon.

Name - Nicholas Grey
Alias - THE Nicholas Grey, Greatest Racer of This Generation, Atlas Andes Sponsored Heroic Do-gooder
Age - 39
Social Class - Uptown
Alignment - Arrogant Good [GLORIOUS DEFENDER OF HUMANITY]
Archetype - Human

Powers -
Incorruptibly Pure Human Genetics - Nicholas Grey was born with some rare genes that have made him immune to being altered through scientific mutations, magical spells, or any other supernatural means. In short this means that Nicholas Grey is and will always be a human.

Skills -
THE Greatest Racer - Nicholas Grey is surely the best damn racer you'll ever have the pleasure of seeing, and he has a top-notch record in multiple fields of racing from drag racing, to track racing, to motocross racing, to off-road racing and so on. As such he is extremely skilled in operating vehicles of all sorts and driving them as fast as possible, and of course using a vehicle as a most dangerous weapon. He is also versed in performing maintenance on his own vehicles if his pit crew isn't around.

Celebrity - Nicholas Grey is, again, surely the best damn racer you'll ever have the pleasure of seeing who has a top-notch record in multiple fields of racing. Due to this he is a noted celebrity and as such is easily recognizable; which means Nicholas Grey a number of admirers, papparazzi, agents, stalkers and so on. With his social status Nicholas Grey can do things such as walk into classy restaurants without a reservation, go into filming studios easier, etc. as perks of his fame.

MacGyvering - To many people construction is a difficult task; this is not the case for Nicholas Grey. Nicholas Grey is quite adept at taking all sorts of bits and scavenged pieces from an assortment of objects, and with a workbench, can create unique and deadly gizmos from the simple spiked baseball bat to the more advanced plasma-flamethrowing motorcycle.

Corporate Sponsored - Nicholas Grey, as a famed racer, has his share of corporate sponsors. His most notable sponsorship is from an 'unhinged' Home Improvement/Outdoor Recreations Corporation, known as Atlas Andes. This corporation provides Nicholas Grey with tools, such as chainsaws, axes, two-by-fours, hunting/sport rifles, crossbows and other 'assorted improvised weapons' in return for Nicholas Grey shilling for them during his heroic acts of vigilantism, logos on his racing vehicles. And so Nicholas Grey fights off the villainous threats of man with the items provided by Atlas Andes.

Weaknesses -
Celebrity - Of course while being a noted celebrity is all well and good it does have its downsides. Nicholas Grey has his share of stalkers, his personal information is more likely to be spread around than someone without fame, and he has a personal reputation to uphold. Not to mention that he has to juggle this noble hobby of heroic vigilantism alongside his actual career of racing, with occasional film, TV, and commercial roles. It is safe to say there are a lot of routes a notorious villain could go to try to defeat Nicholas Grey.

Gloryhound - Nicholas Grey is a notorious gloryhound with a grandiose ego to match it. He is incredibly reckless when it comes to performing acts that would net him more glory and fame, and can easily be manipulated into courses of action by appealing to his ego and the fame he'd receive from them.

Human - Nicholas Grey, albeit a physically fit racer, is still just a normal human.

Arch Enemy - [For natural enemies they are generally rival racers and filthy non-humans] No Challenger Has Proved Themselves Worthy of Being seen as an Arch-Enemy.

Appearance - Nicholas has rather white skin, which compliments his dark blue eyes. Another notable feature is his black hair which goes all the way to the back of his neck, that is combed thoroughly (except when he initially takes off his racing helmet). He doesn't have any sharp facial features, and overall he looks like an average man. More often than not he is in his flame-retardant, black race suit leathers which are emblazoned heavily with the Atlas Andes logo.

BRIEF Bio - Nicholas Grey lived in an orphanage for a brief period of his life. It was surprisingly unremarkable, as he never had any traumatic encounters from gangsters or abusive staff. At the orphanage Nicholas Grey had a lot of freetime which he used to scavenge for interesting objects to make new and fun things out of to play with. Soon enough, this child was adopted into the lap of luxury by a lovely couple who lived Uptown. He lived well and often watched televised races, both standard and death matches, with his adoptive parents. It was then Nicholas Grey decided to become a racer and used all the resources at his disposal to become the greatest racer of this generation. He would soon begin to achieve his dream as he racked up win after win after win in multiple forms of racing. However he found himself introduced to a new purpose in life after some radioactive creatures attacked a casino he was relaxing after finishing a previous competition. He initially hid to save his own hide but was eventually bitten by the radioactive monster. Oddly enough Nicholas Grey was not altered to become such a creature; it was then he knew he could become a heroic vigilante the world needed. So he obtained a new sponsor to supply him with weapons for his crusade of justice, a film crew to follow him around as he performed acts of heroism, and thus began to juggle his career with the noble hobby of heroic vigilantism.

Notes - The curious case for Atlas Andes' Corporate Sponsoring of Nicholas Grey's heroic acts of vigilantism revolve around the fact that in 'Quarter Three' they were really badly in the red. Not wanting to risk going bankrupt and have their assets bought by a larger company, the Board of Directors accepted the Chief Marketing Officer's proposal for sponsoring an associate to one of his personal friends, Nicholas Grey.

He is currently engaged in the filming process for a Romantic Comedy called 'Jumpstart My Heart'; alongside this he is also preparing for another upcoming racing tournament.

Sample Post - The sun was setting upon the metropolis of Nueva York which just so happened to be blessed by the presence of THE Nicholas Grey. Lounging over the railings of the balcony from his Presedential Suite, a man with such exquisite tastes like Nicholas Grey would do with nothing less than that, he watched the traffic go by as less important people went about their routine. He was lodging in this hotel due to being close to the film studio, and more importantly the motocross track which he would soon dominate as was his nature. Performing a dramatic flourish with his left hand and flinging it up to the heavens, Nicholas Grey began to speak. "Soon you'll kno-" He paused in his mighty and bold performance of dialogue as he noticed his phone was ringing with the very classical tune of, 'Let's Make Lots of Money.' This ringtone belonged to Agent Donald's number. Sure it was just one of many agents Nicholas Grey had, but Donny always had the hookup for some nice and easy gigs.

Nicholas answered the phone, "Donny whatcha got for me?" Nicholas nodded his head, "Game Show huh? 'FIR' you say, how much?" Nicholas beamed as he did a celebratory fist-pump with his free hand. "Donny baby you make me so happy! OH any new media gigs to talk about my heroism against those "supernatural" criminal freaks and the countless leagues of gangbangers?" Nicholas nodded, "Schedule it for a Thursday. I'm busy the day you told me they wanted." Nicholas listened to his phone as he said "Well it was great talking to you. Keep getting me cash buddy!" With that he hung up the phone and headed into his room proper. Grabbing the remote he began flipping through channels until he caught the footage of his glory.
Name: Scrimshaw
Sex: Ask Your Local Testudinologist!
Age: Two Years of Improved Sentience/Awareness (More as an average Tortoise)

Appearance: Scrimshaw is a tortoise of the species Agrionemys horsfieldi. As such, Scrimshaw is a rather diminutive tortoise that is mostly seen from a small plexiglass orb that is featured prominently in a much larger robotic shell. Usually only Scrimshaw's grey scaly face is visible. In essence, Scrimshaw is more or less a giant metallic shell that is three feet wide and about a foot tall. The robotic shell is made of a sleek titanium alloy with patterning to look like a titanium shell. If one carefully looked at upper layer metallic shell they could see a variety of intricate drawings depicting some mythological story. On the underside of the shell is a small propulsion device which allows for mobility via slow levitation. Alongside that there is a circular retracting filling inlet, that can open and close and serves as a port for fueling.

Duel Disk: The duel disk is the shell. When engaged in dueling, the titanium shell opens up to reveal itself as the duel disk. The very center of the shell hosts the plexiglass orb flanked by small rectangular holsters which contain the playing cards, and dice. The now opened up front portion serves as a dueling platform like a simple table structure. From the back part of the shell a pair of cartoonishly mechanical hands emerge to operate the necessary tasks such as drawing cards and placing them onto the field; because even for a robotic tortoise it is fun to manually play with cards.

Duel Runner: As to be expected the duel runner is the shell. It looks and functions more or less like the duel disk except now the back portions of the shell fully open up. These portions unfold to become a pair of jet like wings. This process signals down to the propulsion engine to crank up power being delivered to 11 and thus turbo charge Scrimshaw's mobility to the amount needed to properly turbo duel.

Personality: Scrimshaw is an easygoing and very patient individual. This tortoise has a singular driving goal, to reconnect with The Creator, and will not rest until that mission is complete. This individual is someone Scrimshaw venerates to an almost Godly extent, cherishing and following the "guiding words" that were given before the disappearance. The Creator is never taken lightly around Scrimshaw. While Scrimshaw is slow to anger and quick with jokes, this patient nature can eventually succumb if one were to press hard enough.

History: For a very long time, at least in Scrimshaw's mind, the Agrionemys horsfieldi that would become Scrimshaw was but a normal member of its species. However fate would eventually lead this tortoise to the mysterious and eccentric figure that Scrimshaw would call 'The Creator'. This creator lovingly took in Scrimshaw and began to create robotic shell for the tortoise to inhabit and applied experimental procedures, like that of the 'Wheeler' test monkey, to give Scrimshaw a greater sense of sentience so that the creature could experience the fun of playing games. The result was a success, which allowed the creature to play Duel Monsters and the less popular, but still fun, Dungeon Dice Monsters. Everything seemed happy as Scrimshaw bonded with The Creator.

However these good times were not meant to last. Due to the eccentric ways of Scrimshaw's creator, the two were pursued by all sorts of individuals who wanted to stop them. During an escape attempt from a group of these enemies, The Creator was forced to abandon Scrimshaw so the tortoise could go on and keep living. Tearfully the Creator told them to remember to 'unleash your dueling spirit' and promised that they would reunite.

Ever since Scrimshaw has been traveling the wide world, making friends, playing games of Dungeon Dice Monsters and Duel Monsters while trying to find its creator. While so far Scrimshaw was unable to find any truly noticeable leads; recently there has been a new serendipitous moment in the tortoise's search. Scrimshaw was sent an invitation to participate in the Kaiba Corp sponsored Duel Monsters Tournament hosted in Kaiba World. So Scrimshaw has set off to Kaiba World, hoping that just maybe that fabled reunion was near...

Speed Duel Skill:
 Whenever a "Turtle" monster you control is destroyed you may special summon another "Turtle" monster, from your Deck or from your Hand, with a level equal to or less than the destroyed "Turtle" monster.
Ace Monster: Turtle Bird
Deck Master: Turtle Bird
Deck Master Ability: Whenever a "Turtle" monster you control is destroyed you may special summon another "Turtle" monster, from your Deck or from your Hand, with a level equal to or less than the destroyed "Turtle" monster.

Whoops. My apologizes that it slipped through the cracks like that. I'll just fix those right up then.
I'll stab at this and not the moon.

@Member 00492

Okie dokie, so I just have a few things.
First, mostly didn't have a sample post since I didn't see you have a sample post for your sheet. As GM I figure you'd probably want to nail down your sample post to show the other players what you would like their sample post to be. It is generally pretty lame to whip up a post out of thin air without anything to work off of you know? But sure I can get one up fairly quick.

Second, If everyone seems happy about playing around street level maybe just roll with the punches and do more street level focused things?

Third, I don't see how your Justice League roleplay really should effect how the players should build characters for this one? I mean THE Nicholas Grey is a celebrity DUE to his stellar racing fame.

Edit: Sample post is now included.

@Kafka Komedy So are we only allowed to play from the pool of bugs from that list? Or could we play something else from the multitude of bugs that exist?
