The House of the Wayward Hero (DCU)

Awesome, I'll start working on my posts. I'm so excited to get things rolling! :)

The House of the Wayward Hero (DCU)

@Lightning Just to check, are we going with Athena helping out at my char's vets? I think it would be a good way for Ash to have learned about the house etc?

Also should I post my villain doing stuff or wait?

Streetlight Dragonflies

I'm going to have to pull out I'm afraid. I'm struggling with my health at the min. Have fun guys :)

Streetlight Dragonflies

Someone mentioned they might make a cop char I think. But if there isn't one yet I'll work one up :) I'll have it up tomorrow.

The House of the Wayward Hero (DCU)

Nate isn't either really but he would if it was in his best interests lol Nate is all about looking after no 1, himself. It was a thought I was throwing out there.

The House of the Wayward Hero (DCU)

Here's my villain :) Was wondering if maybe he joins others to deal with the rising amount of heroes?

Photon

Nate has short dirty blonde hair and blue eyes and a generally young looking face. He has lightly tanned skin from the amount of time he spends outdoors. He is average height and on the thinner side having never bothered to work out and try and build muscle. He spends most of his time in jeans and hoodies and doesn't really bother that much with his appearance. When "Photon" he wears all black with a long black leather coat and a pair of goggles.

Name:

Nathaniel Cooper (Called Nate by most people)

Alias:

Photon

Age:

19

Gender:

Male

Powers:

Has the following powers:
Absolute Light Can create an explosion of light that fills the area around him, this light is blinding but otherwise does no damage. Used mainly to stun opponents
Light Absorption Absorbs the light around him from light sources such as electric lighting or from sunlight and using it in various ways. He can also store the light he absorbs to use at a later date.
Light Manipulation Manipulates the light he absorbs in various ways either for attacking (Balls, Blasts, Spikes etc) or for defence (Shield, Constructs that protect him etc)

Weaknesses:

Has the following weaknesses:
Darkness or absence of light Nate cannot generate his own light and must rely on light from external sources to power his abilities. If no light source is available and none is already stored in his body then he is rendered powerless
Over absorption He has to be constantly aware of how much light he has absorbed to ensure he does not accidentally absorb more than his body can safely manage. If he were to absorb too much at one time his body would burst apart

Skills/abilities:

Has the following skills:
Underground/Black market knowledge Nate has been a criminal for most of his life and as such has intimate knowledge of the underground criminal elements in La Vida, including gang leaders, fences etc
Dirty Fighting Nate has no actual combat training instead he has learned through experience how to fight. His style of fighting is basically do whatever you have to in order to win. It's not graceful, elegant or controlled but is ugly and unpredictable. He fights as a last resort and prefers to rely on his powers to hurt others from a distance. If he is caught in a fight he will fight only to escape
Quick Thinking Nate has survived on his own most of his life and has learned to think quickly, he is adept at thinking on his feet and adjusting his behaviour at a moments notice depending on what's happening

Bio:

"You wanna know about me? My life and shit? Why so you can use it against me? Heck go ahead and try it. Fine fine I'll tell ya I ain't ashamed of it anyways. My mom was some whore that got knocked up from one of her customers and had me in some public toilet in Detroit. To be honest with 'ya I don't know why she didn't just dump me there and then, I probably would have if I were her, but I guess she maybe felt somethin' for me. Not more than the drugs but somethin'.

Anyways, I grew up in one shitty apartment after another mostly fending for myself as my mom was either out looking for customers or high on her latest fix. I reckon I was about ten when the child services got involved, I'm surprised they hadn't sooner since I never went to school and spent most of my time stealing stuff to live on, and into foster care I went. I bounced around different homes and some were ok and some not ok. Maybe if I'd been able to stay in one of the ok ones things might have turned out a whole lot different but then again maybe not. I ended up in a pretty nasty home in LA when I was around fifteen and I knew early on that I needed to get the hell outta there.

I'd done some school by then and I ain't stupid, no matter what anyone says, and I began savin' money as soon as I could. I also stole cash whenever I got the chance and within a year I had enough to make a run for it. I ended up on the streets and the less said about that the better, it was bad as bad can get. Maybe that's why I said yes to that stupid offer even when I knew it sounded too good to be true. Some guy in a fancy suit said I would get regular meals and cash at the end of it and all I had to do was let them stick some needles into me. Some drug company testing their new drug I figured but of course it was something else, I was the only one to survive those tests with the rest just dying or going completely batshit.

I ended up with my powers and everyone else ended up dead so not a bad deal all in all. Of course I used my new powers to get the hell outta there as they wanted to keep me locked up. Figure out how I got powers and the others didn't. I killed a few and hurt a load more escapin' but that's life for ya. You gotta be tough to survive this shit. I ended up in La Vida after that and I'm still here, with these powers I pretty much do what I want and anyone that don't like it well...they get a bit more light than they planned on.

Also trying to decide on superhero outfit for Wildheart, any ideas would be welcome as I am all out right now lol

Harry Potter - The Riddle Years

Rowena is not considered a beauty with many having said that her mouth is a little too wide and too prominent a chin but most agree that she is pretty, particularly when she smiles. Her smiles seem to light up the whole of her heart shaped face and giving warmth to her pale grey eyes. She is pale and as she is prone to sunburn she avoids prolonged sunshine never gaining a tan, she has rosy cheeks particularly when she smiles and also blushes easily.

Age:

13

House:

Hufflepuff

Blood Status:

Muggle born

Patronus:

Irish Wolfhound

Relationships:

Twin Brother - Robert "Robbie" (also attending Hogwarts and is in Ravenclaw)
Parents - William and Miriam Wood
Friends - TBD
Enemies - TBD

Personality:

Rowena is usually described as cheerful sometimes to the point of irritating, she is the person who is wide awake first thing and far too chirpy with it. She is a bubbly character who seems to see the world with eternal optimism and always tries to see the good in any situation and the people around her. Perhaps her biggest flaw is how easily she trusts others. She finds it very difficult to be unpleasant or nasty to others doesn't understand why others are. Because of this she takes others at face value and doesn't hesitate to trust them.

Rowena isn't shy and has always been able to talk to other people easily even if they are strangers to her. She is without doubt a chatterbox and has a habit of talking too much and too quickly, especially when excited, and her friends often nicely tell her to slow down or be quiet. She doesn't like uncomfortable silences and will often fill them with chatter yet, perhaps surprisingly to those who don't know her, she likes her own company and can often be found alone reading or writing.

Rowena doesn't like conflict or confrontation and does her best to avoid such situations by trying to please those around her. She finds it difficult to say no for fear of upsetting someone and has often been taken for granted in the past because of this. Growing up her twin brother Robbie would often be the firm one refusing on her behalf as he knew how hard she found it. Rowena wears her heart on her sleeve with her emotions easy to see on her face and so is a very bad liar. Between the blushing and feeling guilty she is usually caught out very quickly and so tries to avoid lying where possible.

Worse class:

The House of the Wayward Hero (DCU)

I'm debating with another char idea, possible a villain. Am I allowed a second character?

Harry Potter - The Riddle Years

I would like to join this, I'm thinking of making a hufflepuff character. I'm assuming blood status is whether you're muggle or not?
