@Orange Juice A character's villainousness is determined by his actions.
Think it something like this :
0% = biggest evil ever 100% = biggest hero ever
anything over 50% is considered a hero. 90% hero would mean that he was in the business of saving people for 5-10 years already and never killed anyone and never did bad things. For heroes is easy for baddies things are like this :
40%-49% : Bank robbers, thieves and anything that doesn't kill civilians etc is here 39%-20% : Punisher style hero (is a good guy but kills bad guys) 19%-1% : Criminal masterminds. Villains that would kill a whole city only to kill a hero 0% : Villains that not only already killed cities but if the aliens wouldn't have invaded they would've blown up Earth to prove they are the baddest of them all (none of our characters will be at 0% because they would've been too dangerous to be left alive)
@KabenSaal Hmm...nice character and nice writing (I LOVED the part on how she got captured). There is only a problem. Her powerset. While of course, it looks wonderful put and all that, there are a few problems : 1. There is basically no limitation on that power. She can use it for how much time she wants or it takes some time before she can gather the necessary energy to throw lightnings etc. 2. You have a powerset within a powerset (the super strength/reflexes thing). Remove it or idk...write a limitation on that thing. Something like...she cannot use other powers while having super strength (not even the reflexes thing) or maybe make it so that it takes a lot of time to gather enough power to use those sub-powers ( think it like an Ultimate move if you'd like). Those are only suggestions of course.
Anyway, overall your character is great. I'm waiting for an update but I'm excited to see her in action :)
@Infamous Empath Not much to look at for now. I'll wait for an update.
@FantasyKitten Looks nice. I suggest (just a suggestion, nothing else) to make her either older or make that 6 months period bigger, so that she could actually start her life a hero and have a nemesis and all that.
Also. You forgot about a small thing. How did she got caught by the aliens ?
@FantasyKitten The simple fact that she has to hold the injuries for some time before passing them, in my opinion, it's enough. Think it like this : She wants to pass over an injury like...a ruptured kidney. It would incapacitate her (or at least, she'll be in great pain), making passing the injury to someone else a great deal of trouble.
Faint at the sight of blood would be an overkill to be honest. A medic that cannot see blood ? It's something like...a gun without bullets. Useless.
Maybe...making her have to keep the injury for some time before passing the injury and have the time vary from wound to wound. A simple cut would take let's say, 5 minutes and a punctured organ or things similar would take 20 or 30 minutes.
Everyone. I've updated the rules and the CS too (forgot to add Age and gender to it, sorry). As soon as I have time, I'll start writing a history for the war (how we lost it, how aliens won it...how aliens look etc).
Name : Diana Age : 14 Gender : Female Allegiance : Villain
Power Set : Diana can manipulate technological constructs, computers, robots, hardware and other devices that can be termed as "technology". Manifested as a special form of electrical/telekinetic manipulation, a special form of "morphing" which allows physical interaction with machines, or even a psychic ability that allows mental interface with computer data. Background story : Diana was a child of a poor family in America. She was 12 when her powers manifested. She was in front of an ATM machine with her mom and while she didn't understood it back then, her mother was being very angry at the ATM because the account read "0$". Diana didn't like that her mother was sad and while touching the ATM, she wished that the credit account not be 0 and then it was not. 5000$ appeared "magically" in her mother's account. Diana was intelligent enough to understand what happened and not tell anyone. Her mother assumed the bank made a mistake and didn't care how it happened. A year later, Diana's parents died in a car accident and she would've been sent to the orphanage if she wouldn't decide to use her powers. She used her powers to create a fake identity for herself, a set of "fake parents" and of course, a big fat credit account. When the virus hit, Diana was affected same like the others but she was lucky and survived. Soon the aliens came and the war started. Diana was knocked out by Behemoth that attacked the city when The Collective Man saved her. He put her into a special facility deep underground and after The Collective Man's injury and the loss of the war, Diana decided to stay there and become their "technological specialist".
Name : Damian Boone Alias : The Collective Man Age : 43 Gender : Male Allegiance : Hero
Ignore the smile and think it as a frown
Power Set : Replication : The ability to replicate oneself with the Demi-cellular Division variation : This form of replication results in the affected subject "splitting", much like a cell, into physical organic clones indefinitely depending on available resources. This form generally causes all clones to lack a autonomous intelligence, instead being a unit in a collective "hivemind", each clone being just one "cell" of a unified consciousness (usually that of the subject). This form benefits because if the "original" subject dies, a clone can take their place as the central point of the hivemind making the subject technically immortal as long as there is sufficient copies to take their place. If a clone is separated from the the hivemind then it can work with the autonomy and intelligence of an average human, acting as just a simple clone. This form of replications downsides dwell in the fact that the clones only possess the strength of the original and thus is only effective on a large scale (ex. army size), and the clones, being solid organic matter, cannot be made to just vanished, but can only be made to be reabsorbed.
Background story : Not much is known of Damian Boone before he became The Collective Man. His parents died when he was 2 in a car accident and then he went through a long list of orphanages. Then, Damian Boone disappears for 10 years until the age of 26 when he make a reappearance as The Collective Man. From there he began his career by killing (in self-defense) The Mastermind, a super villain with the power to mind control other humans with no apparent restriction of number. The Collective Man defeated him by making more than 600 clones of himself, eventually The Mastermind lost control of the clones. But that was only one of The Collective Man's achievements. Until the age of 40, he became the most known hero of all times. The leader of The Collective seemed to be the only one that could eliminate the aliens when they invaded but even him, as strong as he was couldn't do it. While in Daria, the aliens came in force and bombarded most of the city. He went outside of the city, in the face of an upcoming alien armada and fought them himself to give enough time for the city to evacuate. That is where, The Collective Man was "killed". He was an army by himself but he came back broken from that fight. A plasma ball hit The Collective Man in the lower back and paralyzed him from waist down. While he could've just "go" inside another clone, that specific clone with the broken back, was left unconscious in a swarm of bodies. The others simply died as he made a last stand against the aliens. He was found broken by scout a few days later, in perpetual pain and bitter.
Amenthis Coldwater
Name : Amenthis Coldwater Alias : Portal Age : 25 Gender : Female Allegiance : Hero
Power Set : Teleportation - Amenthis can teleport at a distance of 10 meters, anything more and it will cause headaches and eventually death. She can teleport objects that she doesn't touch as long as she can see them and are withing a 3 meter radius around her.
Background story (where was your character born ? How did he become a hero/villain ? How was he caught ?) : Amenthis was born on the streets of New York (Harlem). Her mother was a hooker and thus' Amenthis never knew her real father. Since she was born Amenthis was raised by whores,pickpockets and other criminals that walked the streets.
At the age of 14, she saw her mother getting stabbed by a customer that didn't want to pay, the worse part was that the police didn't do anything. The guy that killed Amenthis's mother denied everything and was a upstanding citizen, so Amenthis was no believed and the criminal escaped justice.
That was the moment when Amenthis decided to matters in her own hands. She learned how to fight by training at a dojo (using whatever cash she could find) and soon started to beat up thugs inspired by other heroes. She didn't have any powers yet and soon she tangled with the wrong criminal. He was a member of a big gang that almost ruled Harlem and tracked Amenthis to her safe house with a few other gangsters. There they raped,beat her and when they were about to kill her...Amenthis's powers finally manifested. Unknowingly, Amenthis used her powers to teleport the criminals 10 meters in the air and one of them died when he hit the ground. The police eventually came and decided that Amenthis acted in self-defense but that didn't stop Amenthis to blame herself for the death of that man.
Years later, at the age of 24 when the virus hit, she was known as Portal. She almost mastered her powers when she got infected. Portal was one of the few lucky survivors of the virus but it left her weakened and was in a hospital bed when the aliens invaded. When humans lost the war, Amenthis knew right away that she couldn't the aliens alone and became like the wind. Never in one place, always scavenging and never in one place more than a day.
Powered people always existed. Since the beginning of time there were super-powered heroes and villains. There are many theories on why people developed superpowers. Some called it evolution, others a mistake and some even said that it was the hand of God but everyone agrees on the fact that there are both a blessing and a curse on humanity.
In the year 2026, the best and most well known heroes of the world gathered together and formed " The Collective ". The world largest group of heroes. Villains soon formed their own group to counter The Collective, called " The Dozen ". The world was safe until the year 2028 until a deadly virus hit humanity, targeting only super powered humans. Nothing worked against the virus as it was always adapting to anything medics tried. Even heroes/villains with healing abilities got infected and soon died like the rest. The Plague that hit humanity diminished the number of super powered people to a very small number. Only 1% of people that got infected with the Plague survived the contact with the virus and became immune.
In October 5th the year 2028, Earth was invaded. Aliens attacked and without super powered persons to defend humanity, they won the war against humanity and enslaved it. The few super powered persons left on Earth were soon hunted down. Using a collar that disable their powers even super powered persons were enslaved.
The start of the story
The RP will start inside a slave prison where the characters will be freed by (my) character (I say my character due to her power for now, but if someone with a better power comes along, I'll let that person take the role of freeing our characters). The location of the story ? A city in America that doesn't exist called Daria.
Our characters will form up to become The Resistance. Beside the usual super powered fights, there will be a little "resource managing" spin, where our characters will have to vote on how will they spend their RP (resource points). Examples of RP usage : making new homes for freed slaves, building a lab in order to study alien weaponry etc.
Also. Our character will come from different backgrounds (heroes and villains). I will require for every character to have a "nemesis", that will be played by another roleplayer. Basically, everyone will have an enemy they will hate but that they will have to learn how to work together. The nemesis of each character is yours to choose from persons that will join the RP.
Note : There will be no characters that "walk the line". You are above it or under it. Of course, your character can be a hero like The Punisher that kills bad guys but is in general a good person, that would make him/her/hir a villain, even tho' he/she is a good person.
History of the War (WIP)
Alien Database(WIP)
The Skits are the most common troop of the aliens. They are faster and stronger than humans and they always travel in packs of 4 to 6. Their skin is covered by an exo-skeletron that is as strong kevlar. It is to be known that Skits do not like a fair fight and they will try to flank you while others attack your front. Their legs are strong and allows them to jump up to 4 meters in height and can also break a person's body is pressed upon their chest. Skits are armed with goo launchers that spit a goo ball. The goo is highly resistant and will cover a person's body in order to capture them. Goo can withstand temperatures up to 300 C degrees but when subjected to cold (under 0 C degrees) it will break.
After the war Skits can be seen as prison guards and hunters.
1 RP needed to unlock more information about Skits (weaknesses and history)
Behemoth are the guard dogs of the aliens. 4 meters tall and a weight that goes over 350kg. Behemoths were used as walking tanks in the war and now, they are used to guard locations deemed important by their overlords. A special skill of the Behemoth is that they can change their body temperature to exceed 150 C degrees and 'thus burning any attackers that attack them from behind. Their main weakness is that while strong, they are not very intelligent and without a collar around their neck, they become feral and attack anyone in sight.
3 RP needed to unlock more information about Behemoths (weaknesses and history)
Wisps are the spies and scouts of the aliens. Small (around 20 cm) and very agile, they are used to scout dangerous places or subdue attackers quietly. The body of a Wisp has the ability to eliminate a small noxious gas that puts the one that inhales it to sleep in a matter of seconds.
6 RP needed to unlock more information about Wisps (weaknesses and history)
Bloaters are humans that have been heavily modified genetically by the aliens. They are now a walking bomb that when explodes releases acid. The aliens used the human genome to create these creatures only to stir psychological stress inside those that watched them. Also it made humans to delay firing upon a creature that looked human, especially if these creatures looked like someone they knew.
2 RP needed to unlock more information about Bloaters (weaknesses and history)
The Raiders were used in the war, as their name implies, to raid enemy locations and were even used to overcome locations deemed too dangerous for Skits. On the field of battle they come in three different forms. One form that act as advance scouts/assassins because of their ability to cloak, another one is used a front line melee fighter using a not yet understood technology to create blades that are transparent but are harder than steel. The second type has armor made by the same tech that creates the blades. Finally the third type is a range fighter, using a plasma weapon(picture will come whdn I get home) this fighter is not to be taken lightly. The plasma is burning at around 150 ° C, basically burning throught skin and bones very fast. A frontal shot is deadly.
Not much is known about the alien leadership as only one of their numbers were seen and that by simple luck.
Overlords beside their apparent height of 2,3 meters, nothing is known about the Overlords.
Encounter needed to unlock more information.
5 RP needed to unlock more information about Bloaters (weaknesses and history)
The aliens technology is quite different than our own. The aliens are focused on genetic manipulation than what we human have. The prison camps, the buildings they use and most of their weaponry are made of a living metal that has the ability to reconstruct itself after some time passes.
The Bloaters are a good example of the aliens focus on genetic manipulation.
The Prison Collars are one of the only technology that aren't biological in nature at all. The metal that's used to make the collars is not found on Earth but from basic research done on it, it is similar in a way with gold as it isn't magnetic active, similar to diamonds as it's highly resistant to most forms on damage and it works without any sort of battery, basically having unlimited power. When the collar is put on a host it takes some blood from the user and then it creates a sort of symbiotic relationship between the collar and the host and if taken off the host experiences seizures and 99% of the time they die or so it's thought as no one was able to find a collar on a living host.
How the collars stop the use of powers in super powered persons it's yet unknown as nothing indicates that the collar could influence the genes that make the super powered person's powers not to function. The only theory is that the collar itself carries a version of the virus that while it cannot kill the host, it simply removes his abilities for the time he wears the collar.
The only thing that is 100% certain about the collars is that all collars emit a sound that cannot be heard by humans that acts as link between the collars and a central command or so it is believed.
CS
Format the CS however you like and add whatever you like but don't remove what I wrote. Please :)
Name : Alias : Age : Gender : Allegiance : Hero / Villain Image (anything goes) (will require 2 images, one with the costume(optional if your character doesn't have a fancy hero/villain costume) and another without it) : Written Description ( optional )(can be used instead of Image) : Power Set (only one power per character) : Background story (where was your character born ? How did he become a hero/villain ? How did he escape the aliens (make sure to mention that he/she was found by scouts and brought to base camp) : Nemesis (the alias and username) : Nemesis's story (how did they meet ? who won ? etc. This should be coordinated with the player that is your nemesis) :
Rules
1. Standard guild rules apply. 2. The language in IC doesn't matter much but in OCC, keep it clean. 3. Anything is allowed (as romance) until cloths go off, then either fade to black or go in PM. 4. An equal number of Heroes and Villains is required. 5. Powers that are not allowed in the RP :
No reality warping powers
Immortality powers (no aging,super fast healing(like Wolverine) etc)
Shapeshifting (this is mostly allowed but with heavy restrictions)
No time-traveling/changing abilities
More to come if needed.
6. CS will first be posted in OCC then moved, upon approval, onto CS section. 7. Mention people in your posts !
Remember to coordinate with the other people. It would suck for everyone to make a villain and then have to make another character, just because there are too many villains.
On that note : I'll require everyone to state what character they'll make.
I'll go with a hero in this RP. There are 6 of us right now, so I'll put the RP in the Casual section. "See" you in OCC guys/gals.
