Fancy-pants Magic Items and Shit Like That:

• Violet Necronomicon / Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
  • Appearance: A handwritten book in a violet-colored leather jacket. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is written on the outside.
  • Cool Stuff: Resurrects the dead... languages. Is one of the seven necronomici formed from the original book, gotta collect 'em all.
  • Current Owner: Doctor Dead
• Indigo Necronomicon / Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
  • Appearance: A handwritten book in an indigo-colored leather jacket. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is written on the outside.
  • Cool Stuff: Is one of the seven necronomici formed from the original book, gotta collect 'em all.
  • Current Owner: Bloodletter
• Red Necronomicon / Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
  • Appearance: A handwritten-book in a red-colored leather jacket. It has Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows written on the jacket. The spine is tied to a chain to let it be worn around the neck.
  • Cool Stuff: Harnessing the powers of evil, it summons one of the darkest creatures in existence, Zombie Klansman Rider Nathan Bedford Forest, to fight for the owner. [Works once per timeskip. ZKRNBF is not as strong as he was when summoned by Deadneck, a master necromancer, however he is still strong enough to be treated like an elite mook. You can give him simple orders, and control his physical actions, though I reserve the right to take control of him at any time. He's basically just a guy on a horse with a burning cross, cavalry saber, and two flintlock rifles]
  • Current Owner: Levi Solomon
• Poppirino Parasolé
  • Appearance: An umbrella.
  • Cool Stuff: Has a stiletto in the cane. You can use it to glide, or like a shield, where it's about as effective as any metal round shield would be. Color changes like a mood ring when you hold it.
  • Current Owner: Vigil
• Brotherlode
  • Appearance: Dressed up in a prospector's outfit.◊
  • Cool Stuff: He's a wrestling prospector. Donkey included.
  • Current Employer: Richard
• Armocado
  • Appearance: Looks like a pair of arms made out of wood. They are joined together by what resembles a foot-long 2x4 with an avocado seed in the middle.
  • Cool Stuff: It's a pair of arms made out of wood. When strapped on with the conveniently-attached straps, allows you to control them as if they were your own arms. That's a 100% increase in arms. Or a 50% increase in numbers you can count to on your fingers and toes. If destroyed, the indestructible avocado seed remains, and it regrows the limbs after being dunked in water for a while. (Takes until the next time skip, or several hours, to regrow. Try not to break it in the first place and you'll be fine.)
  • Current Owner: Chengsaw
• Duranstone
  • Appearance: A glowing medallion necklace in the shape of a wolf's head.◊
  • Cool Stuff: A wolf-headed medallion on a necklace, it has a totally badass-looking pair of glowing eyes that make any robot that wears it instantly looks at least 20% cooler. Oh, and it's cursed to turn any sentient organic being that puts it around its neck into a wolf. It's a rather regular wolf, not a werewolf. Though the color depends on the user (your choice). To compensate for its lack of pockets, all items and inventory on their person are conveniently sealed into a pocket dimension. If taken off, the wolf turns back into the person and gives them all their crap back.
  • Current Owner: Rail Dale v47
• Onyx? Pearl?
  • Appearance: Smooth black sphere three inches in diameter, has a small red dot on it.
  • Cool Stuff: ???
  • Current Owner: Alannah?
• Coffee Can?
  • Appearance: An empty metal coffee can with no label. Plastic lid included.
  • Cool Stuff: ?
  • Current Owner: Levi Solomon
• Chimp
  • Appearance: It's a chimp.
  • Cool Stuff: It's a chimp
  • Current Owner: Angelo

So, I hear that we're supposed to ship people here.

Anders/cot, OTP.

Heh. That's one of those pairings where logistics becomes a problem.

Cot: (text) So what are you wearing? (transform)

Anders: (text) Why are you asking that? I'm wearing the same thing you are. (transform)

Cot: Aww, you're no fun.

^More or less, yup.

We need more guy superheroes for Anders to be interested in who aren't insane or axe murderers.

Or giant alien otters.

Hey! Axe vigilante, thank you very much!

Wow. Racism.

Does anyone want to be in Otto's folk band? Or perhaps be in the rival band?

*Reads new signups*

Ooh, I wonder what would happen if Ahmose tried to replicate Alannah's abyssal glass?

I would be interested in having Solomon joining the folk band, though I don't know what instrument he would play as I haven't looked into the genre yet. I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to say he would have musical competence. Having a past full of drug-induced hallucinations would be an interesting source of inspiration. I'd probably cut down on the lunacy so he can function in this regard.

I'll have you know that one of my best friends happens to be a six foot tall alien otter.

That's no excuse!

Recently I've either been working my ass off or exhausted so it might be a while before I post a character, is that okay? If not I understand.

Hi, y'all. I'll be your dinosaur space cop and chemical warfare villain for today!

Totally okay.

And like that, the city now has a restaurant run by two Superpowered Wrestlers. This cannot fail in any way, shape, or form.

I'm actually just waiting for that to somehow become the hang out spot for both heroes and villains.

I suppose we should probably discuss potential allies and enemies in and out of costume. If anyone has an idea of someone they'd like to team up with or if someone wants to be another character's nemesis go ahead and post it, hopefully it'll be mutually agreeable.

Please, all the cool kids hang out in Greg's office. They can play with his... snow globe.

Just noting that Solomon/Isaac might try to form an alliance/servitude with Anhur and/or Quetzal.

I think Quetzal and Durga would make awesome rivals/archenemies, with their ancient god and light themes. And the cat vs bird thing, of course.

We've already decided that Don't Axe will have been one of the heroes responsible for taking down Alannah's dad. It probably wasn't a one-man operation, though, so if someone else wants to jump on that particularly awkward train feel free They just have to be active in the city 3 years ago.

Do we have any safecracker villains or anything like that? A team or villain that specializes in robbery rather than grandstanding and getting beaten up by superheroes? =3

And Zenith will try to seduce everybody. Except the Otter. Well maybe after a lot of drinks....
