Well; I dont mind taking this idea and running with it, with the charas already given and the concept here so nothing is changed too much. Ihave a few ideas like the whole main chara roulette and off course ideas for a main arc and what not. No disregards to Sonnie, just if you want the original idea, I dont mind taking it over if we still have this many people :3
Idk what plots you have for the avengers Academy, but I'd like to suggest giving every chara a main arc at one point since i just had the crazy idea. Maybe not in the beginning, but later on we could do a roulette with the charas names and let them have a main arc and then we take their name off and roulette again so everyone has their time to be the chara in the limelight? Something sort of akin to the comics or cartoon shows where a chara has an entire episode, sometimes more dedicated to them.
I'm going on 616 based... but if you need to make some particular change I'm open to stuff.
My character's history is a mixmatch of 616 and MCU, so if there's any one thing to change, I would say maybe we keep the ultron storyline from MCU canon here since we already have so many characters tied to Hank and Will really likes the idea of Grandfather Tony having made vision. That and this is just the sad rantings of moi; "Bring back Uncle Pietro!"
Full name: William Maximoff-Shade (Unrelated to canon son of Scarlet witch) Alias/Codename: Cybernetic Age: 19 Country of origin: "Eastern Europe" Sokovia Basic appearance: 5'6 of varying mass. His overall appearance doesn't change, keeping his lean build and boyish looks. Keeps his hair short. Costume: Having control over technology and nanites, a metallic suit is the only way to go. Composed of the nanites that make up his blood stream, the suit is a living part of himself and serves mostly to conceal his identity, provide his flight capabilities and act as a suitable material for him to create his weaponry using his Technopathy. And to some extent, it's a small statement of his idolisation to Stark.
Skills:
-Technical prowess outside of powers -Snark master 2000 -Blackmail skills -Hacking ability outside of technopathy
Powers:
-Synthetic body: Like his father, Will's body is composed of entirely synthetic material and his blood stream is basically a stream of nanites. As such, he is able to control his own density, mass and temperature to a small extent, as well as his own pain tolerance. However, he can only ignore any physical stimulations for so long until it overrides whatever 'firewalls' he puts up against it and incapacitates him. Luckily, his synthetic body also allows him to regenerate from his injuries, anything too grievous, however, will force a shut down on himself. He's stronger and faster than the average human, but his ability doesn't surpass other's with actual superspeed and strength -Mild immunity to toxins: Toxins, drugs and foreign chemicals still afflict him, but effects show up at a slower compared to an completely organic being -Immune to electrocution: You may not want to touch him whilst he's statically charged though, it's like a live wire -Superhuman intelligence: Having a computer as a father and a super genius as a technical grandfather has it's perks to one's intelligence. -Techno-pathy: powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Technology.. Limited to his own creation and technology outside of Stark Tech. -Limited control over Chaos magick: Unlike his mother's natural prowess over magick, Will can only summon up small bursts of chaos magick to act as a projectile. Used as a last resort as it is physically and mentally very draining.
Brief bio:
After a slew of adventures and risking their lives, the superhero known as Vision and Scarlet witch (a.k.a Wanda Maximoff) finally tied the knot and settled down to have a child. Unable to conceive a child by natural means, they turned to magick and technology to fulfil their wishes. After many failed attempts, a young boy was conceived and named "William Maximoff-Shade" using part of Vision's human alias; 'Victor Shade'. 3 years into raising their child, a new threat arose that required them to once more take up their superhero mantles and return to saving the world, resulting in Will growing up experiencing the superhero side of the world through every cut, bruise and hospital visit that his parents brought home. The worry of losing a parent ever present until he figured out that he was able to shut off the 'unpleasant' feelings and turn to the more infallible logistics of numbers and possibilities. Calculating the survival chances of his parents becoming a game to him and a growing concern to his parents.
Even more so when he found himself surpassing his peers his schooling, making education by the normal means redundant and to him, human life and mortality. He failed to understand or comprehend the flaws he saw in his classmates, the flaws in his parents, the investment they had in protecting what was inevitably going to self-destruct itself. He had experienced their flaws and subservient 'emotions' and he found them a hindrance at best compared to that of artificial intelligence and the machines he'd come to consider his superior allies. Vision, seeing his son's start upon a darker path, sought to prevent it and consulted the greatest minds of the generation. Those consultations of which led to Will meeting one of the initial founders of the Avengers, Stark.
Never before had he met a human so...like him. Stark was a man no doubt, but Will found fascination in the reckless and brash nature he displayed intertwined with the calculative numerics of machines. He grew to idolize and respect Stark and even more so, his humanity. Which eventually led him to a heavy decision; knowing he could never fit in with humanity with the constant reminder of his connection to the machines, Will decided to start over by erasing all files and traces of him being an Android from the database, including his own memory, making it so he was an adopted child with Technopathy powers and turning what he really was into a secret that not even he knew.
Freed from the knowledge that alienated him the most from his peers, Will found new life in living in the moment and experiencing the human emotions he had previously locked away from himself. And when a school came up that could maybe finally keep up with him, he decided to throw himself head first into it, with the recommendation of his parents off course who accepted that he would eventually follow in their footsteps one way or another.

I think I 'improve' on it, you guys don't record down enough of my awesomeness Training regimen/expertise: -Obedience protocol training (A.k.a Detention, you guys need to stop using such fancy terms -Lab work I get to blow up stuff? -Robotics class It's the age of the machines! -Partying 101 -Finding Nick's other eye 102 -Curing Baldness -Seeing if you can survive jumping off the hellicarrier Potential outlook: High potential if- Got that right Best case scenario: Technical infiltration unit or taking control of the hellicarrier" Worst case scenario: Shut down protocol if any signs of threat to organisation They catch me before I take control of the hellicarrier
FunFacts: -He likes to pretend he's a robot, but any memory of him being an Android has been erased from his memory and from his files -The word 'Android' still sets him off -He may or may not have a Tony stark poster in his room...and an Ironman action figure -He can understand binary better than actual speaking sometimes. -Monster trucks, don't mention them...ever.
@knighthawk Ahhh. Give me advice. I'm having trouble deciding between using Cassie Lang like I was gonna in that one RP. Or just use the character I was talking about in the interest check.
Well, if you need help, I think we only have one girl now and she's a robot so....
Anyway, @DrewVonAwesome, what's your stance on a generally "psychic" character. I know this sounds like a lot, but what I have planned currently is a half-alien character with peak human condition, genius intelligence, telepathy, psychokinesis, ionokinesis, and psionic constructs (the last three kinda blend together). I plan on playing up the "brilliant but lazy" archetype; he's a powerful kid with a lot of potential, but can't bring himself to be motivated about heroism, or give a damn about saving the world. He's only even at the academy because his human mother wanted him to attend.
Sounds like someone that Will would get along with. Just a wondering question, does telepathy apply to an android? Or frankly the other superhumans around in the school with some sort of non human aspect or non-organic thought maker....I am no good with words.
