Warm Regret

Omertà- A Superpower Mafia Roleplay Interest Check (REBOOT)

I might be interested in joining this as well. I was actually thinking of starting a similar RP so I'll see how this one goes. :)

Knights and Knaves

I'm also interested in checking this out. ^_^

The Kadari Knights

Hi there, I have a few questions.

This first one is just for me to better understand something. For the Hai San area, it says that the Knights aren’t allowed in without an Abbdi present but aren’t Abbdi the things they’re sworn to destroy? Seems like these creatures only cause trouble for people, so I’m just curious why Hai San would want them in their territory and why the Knights would work together with one.

Second, for non mage characters, do they basically just have normal human limits or do they have peak human abilities?

Third, I think someone else had a question on how destroying the Abbdi works, so I’ll wait to see the response on that.

I think that’s it for now. ^_^

Lotus' Fields

Sounds interesting :)

Hehe, Sure! Count me in! ^_^ Let's get started!

Supers: A Superpower RP

It didn’t take long for Epsilon to slink his way into the mess hall and Danny gave the powerful meta his full attention as he did so. Delta and Epsilon were like their role models now, which proved to be somewhat tricky, considering how different they both were. Delta was the easier one to get along with of the two, where as you had to watch your step around Epsilon. Needless to say, the two hotheads in the group were reprimanded more so than the others. Deep down, he knew that Delta and Epsilon only wanted to keep their protégé’s safe, so he couldn’t bring himself to truly disobey or refute their advice but the more time he spent there the more difficult it was to keep the negative emotions at bay. Frustration, anger, resentment, restlessness, just dealing with one of those feelings could prove difficult but when they were all rolled into one and with each passing day being filled with air like a balloon in your chest, it was hard to keep it from bursting. Kana wanted some action and he couldn’t blame her, however Delta quickly shut her down with an impressive display of his own abilities. If he were Phi, she would have been dead already. Kana was headstrong, he knew Delta’s reaction probably wouldn’t be enough to change her mind and that’s probably why Epsilon decided to show his face.

Remembering the scar Delta showed them from Phi and seeing just how bad Epsilon’s wound was up close, even he had second thoughts about facing the super villain. Almost before he could blink, Epsilon grabbed Kana with his shadows, causing her to react with an instinctive use of her powers. When Kana reacted, Danny tensed and pushed himself from leaning against the wall. He slowly walked towards Kana, so that he was only a few feet behind her. The young meta exhaled a shaky breath as Epsilon expressed his disapproval and not only that, he issued a challenge. Danny wasn’t one to back down from a fight but even he wasn’t as much of an ass to try to kill someone who was keeping him safe. Danny was almost sure Epsilon was baiting him into a fight, a fight Danny couldn’t win. At least not yet. He recognized that Delta and Epsilon were crazy powerful and if the two of them had their hands full dealing with Phi, the rest of them didn’t stand much of a chance. He listened to Kana’s response and he understood her point but he couldn’t say he agreed completely. They weren’t ready, he knew that but what he wanted to know was…when? When would they be able to hold their own or at least work as a team?

“We’re not ready, I get it, but I understand how Kana feels too.” Danny blurted out. He exhaled again, and swallowed hard, shaking his head slightly and fighting back his own frustrations. “I mean…don’t get me wrong, I’m not in any rush to die or anything but we’ve been here for months, when are we gonna be ready? Huh? In a year? Three? Twenty? If we’re not strong enough, show us what we need to do.” He said almost pleadingly. After letting a moment pass, he sighed again and his voice returned to a calmer tone, if not somber. “I wanna get my life back, ya know? I…I wanna see if my family’s ok while they still recognize me… And you know the part that really sucks about this whole thing? While we’re hiding in this silo, that damn Phi jerk is out there just doing whatever the hell he wants, no way man…he’s gotta pay!” He said with his temper flaring up again. He slammed his fist into his open palm and inadvertently triggered his powers. His skin almost instantly became so dense it turned dark blue and the pupils of his eyes disappeared all together, leaving only the eerie white.

Routine was just as much a part of his life as baseball was. He hadn’t realized it yet and perhaps it stemmed from his father being in the service at one time but he had a strict routine that he followed every day. He got up early, made his bed, had a light breakfast, did his exercises and training then the rest of the day was left up to Chance. He was currently at the end of his exercise routine and was doing pull ups on a bar he managed to put together using scraps of metal found around the abandoned silo. His feet were bare and so was his defined chest and torso. The only article of clothing he wore was a pair of gray sweatpants. He was vaguely aware of what was happening in the mess hall but didn’t feel the need to make an appearance right away, he needed to finish his set first. His muscles tensed and tightened as he pulled his swollen frame upwards several more times before letting himself drop to the floor with a light sound of flesh against stone. He had reached the point where his arms had failed him and he couldn’t use them to do anything strenuous if he tried. It’d take a little while before the strength returned to them again. Breathing heavily and wiping the sweat from his face with a hand towel, he ran his hand through his hair a few times to give it some type of semblance other than sticky and unkempt.

Moving from his room to the mess hall where almost all of his entire ‘meta family’ seemed to be gathered, he silently took in his surroundings. Most of the people there he recognized but that wasn’t true for everyone. It looked like his new family was growing and he wasn’t quite sure how he felt about that. On the one hand, it was good to have people around he could semi-relate to, people who were in the same situation as him but on the other hand, more people meant more personalities to deal with which usually rolled into a pain in the ass. He moved to lean against the wall behind him, folding his arms across his clammy chest and crossing his legs at the ankles. He simply stood and observed for a while, watching as the others welcomed the newcomer. He thought back to when he first arrived himself. He probably felt the same way this other kid did but didn’t remember handling it so well. If he had it all to do over again, he probably could have saved himself some grief before coming to terms with his situation but hindsight was 20/20 and the only thing he could do now was move forward and offer the newbie some advice.

Everyone was getting acquainted with one another, but Danny wasn’t sure yet how to introduce himself to the fresh meat, so he just kept quiet and waited for the right time to interject. 'It's nice to meet you all, you seem to be an interesting bunch. I adjust to things slowly and I cry a lot, so I'm sure my shining personal attributes will leave you dying to know more.' There it was, his chance to respond and so without putting too much thought into it, he offered his two cents even though no one asked for it. “You’re scared as hell. I can see it in your face.” He said a little brusquely. His candid way of speaking to people had been pointed out to him before but when speaking his mind, it wasn’t often that he thought about his words and tone prior to opening his mouth. “But thinking about it too much isn’t going to change a damn thing and crying about it sure as hell won’t help either…getting stronger might. If we can take out that damn Phi guy, maybe we’ll get our lives back…or what’s left of them.” He said with a twinge of suffering in his voice, his hazel like eyes drifting off into dead space as he entered his own thoughts. It was rather hypocritical of him really, loosing himself in his thoughts after telling someone else not to…but he couldn’t deny the fact that the arrival of the newcomer stirred up old feelings that he wasn’t in the mood to deal with.

Thanks for having me, I'll do my best! ^_^ (bows) Once again I look forward to playing with you all.

Supers: A Superpower RP

Danny Cruz

Name: Danny Cruz

Age: 17

Gender: Male



Appearance: Standing at about 5’10” and weighing in at around 165lbs, Danny has a solid build. The slight bulk of his upper body gives the appearance that he spends a decent amount of time at the gym, which is partly true but most of his exercise comes from playing baseball and training. He is of Hispanic decent with a very lightly tanned skin tone. His brown hair appears unkempt and maybe a little messy, when in actuality it takes significant effort to get it the way he likes it. He has dark eyebrows and his eyes are greenish brown. His style of dress would be considered casual. He would normally be seen wearing sneakers, jeans and a t-shirt, most often having some type of print. Accessories might include a hooded jacket, baseball cap or shades.

Powers: Exceptionally tough skin.

Personality: Danny is somewhat quiet and reserved which some people perceive as him being cold or unfriendly and that isn’t exactly true. While it’s correct that he can be difficult to get along with, he has a soft spot for those who are weak, such as children, the sick, elderly and animals. Although he isn’t the most sociable person, he does enjoy the company of others, in small doses. Unfortunately, he lacks patience and tends to rush into things without thinking. He also has the tendency to hurt the feelings of others when he looses his temper.

Likes: Baseball, Animals, Godzilla Movies, Fixing Things and Seeing how they Work.

Dislikes: Reading, Excuses, Losing, and Drugs.

Awakening:

Stepping outside Bruno’s pizza with his friend Will, Danny finished his slice with extra cheese and looked around to see the city lights were already ablaze. It was a summer’s evening in New York and the city didn’t plan on going to sleep anytime soon. “Damn, how long were we in there? I better get back home before my mom comes down here lookin for me.” He joked with a grin. Will laughed. ‘Yeah man, your mom’s crazy.’ Danny grinned. “Whatever, alright bro, see you later.” But before Danny could put any distance between himself and his friend, he felt Will grab his arm. ‘Yo, come with me real quick to drop something off ok?’ “Nah man, you know I’m not with all that.” Danny refused. Will sucked his teeth. ‘Stop being such a punk man, just come with me real fast, you owe me.’ Danny exhaled with annoyance and rolled his eyes. “Alright, come on man, hurry up.”

They walked several blocks in the cool summer night, the sound of motorists and sirens mixing into an erratic melody. Will prattled on about some new sneakers he wanted but the only thing Danny could focus on, was what he could expect to walk into when he got home. He was sure he would get a lecture from his mom before he even got both feet in the door, not to mention a few whacks to the head. Just as he was starting to lose his patience, they reached some rundown corner with two older kids he knew from the neighborhood. ‘Wait here man.’ Will said as he approached the two older kids. “Yeah hurry up.” Danny replied.

Casually glancing from the transaction with his friend, to the watch on his wrist, neither of the 4 youths noticed as a car with tinted windows whizzed by. When the shots rang out, each person scattered. Danny didn’t get too far before he felt something strike him in the back. He knew he had been shot and he collapsed just before he could reach a nearby alley. After a few seconds, he realized he was barely in any pain and as he pushed himself off the ground, he noticed that his hands were blue. Turning to see his reflection in the glass window of a store front, he was freaked out by the stranger he saw staring back at him and so he ran. Crouching in the alley, he hid behind a dumpster and some rubble, trying to concentrate on making himself normal again and after a while, it worked.

The intended target of the shooting was actually one of the older boys Will was dealing with, however Danny’s friend Will was the only person fatally shot that night. It took him a long time to come to terms with his friend’s death and why his friend had died while somehow he survived. After Will’s death, Danny’s parents decided to move them out of the city and that’s how they ended up in Pavar. So far Danny’s been able to keep the secret of his transformation to himself, however he still struggles with trying to control it.

History:

Danny’s life started out pretty normal. He’s the youngest of five siblings and his mother and father worked hard to provide for their family. Growing up in a rough neighborhood, he quickly became street smart but got into his fair share of trouble. When he reached his teenage years he started to realize just how different he was. First, he seemed to have a knack for sports, baseball in particular. Second, he was pretty good at fixing things. Finally, he realized that he had a strange ability. He didn’t know what to call it but he figured it could cause problems if other people found out. So far he’s been able to keep this ability a secret but he hasn’t been able to completely control it either.

After he was involved in a drive-by shooting that resulted in the death of his friend, his parents decided they needed to move out of the city. As soon as his dad was able to get a transfer at his job, the family moved to Pavar. Shortly after they moved, his next oldest sister left home for college, leaving him as the last sibling to remain with his parents. Starting over in a new town was an adjustment for him. Everyone moved at a slower pace than what he was used to, the people seemed more polite, he didn’t feel as though he had to constantly look over his shoulder, honestly, it was…relaxing.

The move came just in time for him to start high school. Almost as soon as he enrolled in his new school, he tried out for the baseball team and over the years became one of their star players. School and practice occupy most of his time, so he hasn’t made many friends but through that sacrifice he’s been almost assured a career in the sport he loves when the time comes.
