Damage & Dysfuntion Academy (Super"hero" reform school RP)

Okay, so you know that RP, My Superhero Academy? Well, this is sort of like that, only low-budget, Crazy Awesome (and somewhat Ax-Crazy), and somewhat crapsack-y.

Damage & Dysfunction Academy (often jokingly called D&D Academy, which is usually an intentional reference to Dungeons & Dragons) is basically a superhero academy mixed with a reform school, which is generally a really bad idea (I wonder who the hell thought "Oh, hey! You know what would be a great idea? A superhero school for juvenile delinquents!"), but failed even more miserably because it was a low budget Sucky School whose textbooks are leftover from The '90s and whose staff are all either apathetic, volunteers/interns, or security guards. Well, not that the security guards do much. They don't really intervene unless someone is legitimately trying to kill or rape someone else. Basically: Superhero high school for juvenile delinquents, nobody cares what the fuck you do unless you try to murder or rape someone. However, unfortunately (for the students, not everyone else), D&D Academy is located in the middle of nowhere, Alaska, so the only source of entertainment is other students. Chaos is pretty much constant, and classes don't matter.

Unfortunately, this chaotic-but-still-somewhat-safe existence is about to come to a crashing stop. Something bad is about to happen, and it's you guys' job to stop it. Good luck.

Okay, so I might've left out something. This story, despite being set in a hellhole, is actually pretty optimistic in tone, and features strong themes of redemption, loyalty, honor, etc; Just figured I'd warn you before you draw up the most irredeemable character possible.

Wait, you ask how a "low-budget" school can afford to be built in the middle of nowhere in Alaska and have transportation and stuff? Well, it's because they actually had a pretty decent budget, but most of that money either spent on isolation, transportation, and marketing or embezzled rather then spent on the actual school.

Character Creation Sheet:

• Name:
• Age:
• Gender:
  • Sexuality: I'm not big on shipping, but some people are, so I figured I'd have this just because.
• Appearance:
• Personality: Self-explanatory. Be sure to make your character dysfunctional in some way or other. Why else would they be here? That being said, Antisocial Personality Disorder is a big no-no.
• Powers: Again, self-explanatory. That said, try and keep your character from being too overpowered. Anyone with Superman level abilities is a no-no. This also includes time-travel abilities. Healing abilities are allowed, but can only be used after a fight for the sake of balance.
• Skills:
• Gear: Also self-explanatory. You should probably keep it low-budget. They're willing to tolerate a lot at Damage & Dysfunction, but any WMDs will probably still be confiscated.
• Backstory:
• Miscellaneous: Anything you can think of that doesn't fit into any of the other categories.

Anyone can join at any time. We'll probably just Retcon it earlier, but later we might need a few story twists.

Also, I'm thinking that it's ambiguously (as in, it might be, it might not be) set in the same universe as My Superhero Academy, so avoid anything that would contradict that universe's canon too much. Despite this, a crossover is very unlikely, and if we want it (I don't care, honestly), we're going to have to work for it.

Umm... so, I was here, I guess. If I wasn't, someone hacked my account. So, yeah.

• Name: Ryan Brady
• Age: 17
• Gender: Male
• Sexuality: Straight
• Appearance: Ryan has made quite a journey from just a year or two ago - he appears by all means to be a living example of the Dark Age of Comics, long light brown hair, blue eyes, slight tan, tall and enormous muscles - Ryan stands at 6 foot 3 inches tall, and weighs 220 lbs. Ryan seems to perpetually be frowning, though there is the rare occasion that makes him crack a smile. He has to wear a rather cybernetic looking costume to contain his powers, and outside the costume he mostly wears a black stringer shirt, long shorts, and sneaker shoes.
• Personality: At first glance, Ryan seems like a jerk - he's angry, he's confrontational, he's combative, he gets into fights a lot, and he's prone to flirtation and showing off. However most of this is a Jerkass Façade - he is deeply afraid of hurting people again with his powers, and doesn't want people around if he blows up again. While the anger and the confrontational nature are there in some amount, he is aware of them in terms of their status as his faults. Ryan is very much a "punch first, ask questions later" type of hero - he'll jump in fearlessly and do whatever he can.
• Powers: Ryan's power is at once a devastatingly simple one - he's a human nuclear weapon. His power is generating energy, and behaves at once like a reactor as well. His energy output is frankly astounding, though he has to be careful while using it so as not to leak toxic fallout. He can drain and absorb other energy, and can even make a tremendous explosion from his body - though this power is tied to his emotions. His body is heavily fortified as a result of his power - he is very, very strong, and incredibly durable, but has to fly using streams of his energy.
• Skills: Hand to Hand fighting: Ryan is pretty good at hand to hand fighting, mostly being self taught from his past.
• Gear: The Anti-Destruct Armor: Ryan's armor / costume is made to make sure he doesn't blow up again out of control, and stops fallout emissions, though past a certain point it becomes unfeasible.
• Backstory: Ryan's Mad Scientist father unwittingly used Ryan as a test subject when the young boy's curiosity led him into the testing bay of a strange alien metal. The metal assimilated into Ryan and gave him his powers. At first he just thought they were simple energy blast powers...however, during his first year at a certain Academy, he was confronting a trio of bullies who were picking on his girlfriend, Wallflower. Ryan got so angry at the bullies he proceeded to explode during the fight. This resulted in two of the three bullies reduced to skeletons, the last one as well as Wallflower stricken with large amounts of cancer, burns, and heat damage besides. After this, Ryan was sent out for his recklessness, and his initial Superhero Name Atomix was changed to Collateral, to remind him of what kind of damage can ensue if he is careless with his powers again. In the space of time, he essentially worked out his problems in the gym - on top of acquiring some chemical assistance in that matter (the whole "going on trenbolone" thing is probably one of his less well informed choices considering the nature of his powers). He ended up transferred to the Reform School, Damage and Dysfunction, and hopes he can reform, become a better hero, and graduate.
• Miscellaneous:—-

• Name: Full name unknown, just goes by Tatsu in both civilian and costumed
• Age: 17
• Gender: Female
• Sexuality: "Why would I care about a single one of you?" (Bi)
• Appearance: When not in costume Tastu appears as a fit woman of Asian descent wearing expensive but sensible clothes. Costumed appearance
• Personality: Tatsu is in a word, prickly. Due to her upbringing throughout the years she was taught to not show compassion for her targets and she has no respect for those without some sort of code they live by, which can prove problematic in a reform school. Aside from that she is driven and dedicated to her own rehabilitation.
• Powers: What Tatsu refers to as an "Absolute Field" what that means in layman's terms is that Tatsu projects a field over one limb enhancing kinetic properties of that limb. Chops can cut through steel, pokes can dent heavy armor and punches and kicks can shatter stone. It can only be applied to one limb at a time as this power is derived from a chi focusing technique with some unknown x-factor from her family line. It also alters the color of her hair and eyes for some reason when in use.
• Skills: Tatsu has been trained in a variety of martial arts in order to properly use her power and is also a skilled gymnast
• Gear: Aside from her costume just a grappling hook.
• Backstory: Juvenile Delinquent profile: A great deal is still unknown about Tatsu. What has been established after her arrest in the wake of a battle with some teen heroes is that Tatsu's family have served a secret clan of mercenaries operating primarily within the continent of Asia for a number of centuries. Since the advent of super-powered being this clan, which Tatsu refers to as The Black Tortoise has been actively recruiting and training super-powered beings in order to maintain and grow their power. Tatsu was the latest of her family line and to the best of her knowledge the only currently surviving one within the clan. She was trained by the clan to be an assassin, which she claimed in interrogations to have succeeded at prior to her capture. Apparently during her battle with the teen heroes she was overcome with emotion at seeing people her age with powers both living a normal life and helping rather than hurting the people around them and being rewarded with admiration rather than cold approval. She gave us several Black Tortoise bases after her capture but all showed signs of being recently vacated by the time permission to search had been achieved. This inmate is recommend for reform school pending continued good behavior and cooperation.

-dramatic music ensues-

Seems pretty good, but I have a few reservations. Seems a bit too one-hit-kill-y.

Accepted

Umm... so, I was here, I guess. If I wasn't, someone hacked my account. So, yeah.

Ryan doesn't go for kills or such - his gear prevents him from going too far by and large, and killing people is specifically what he doesn't want to do, considering what happened.

Fine.

Umm... so, I was here, I guess. If I wasn't, someone hacked my account. So, yeah.

• Name: Daniel "Dan the Man" MacBride
• Age: 15
• Gender: Male
• Sexuality: "None of y'all are the least bit photogenic..." (Gay)
• Appearance: Daniel stands at 5'5" but makes up for his less than large height with broad shoulders and a generally burly physique. He has a very short auburn hair, in a crewcut style. His dark green eyes seem almost black and look out over a squashed nose. His olive skin features some blotches of acne that triumph in the face of any cream he tries. He is quite muscular for someone his age, due to his upbringing.
• Personality: Daniel typically has two (2) major styles of carrying himself: the hottest shit to walk the block or boot-licking lackey. While he believes he is a tough kid that could put the fear of a greater power into someone, if he doesn't, he knows better than to step on any toes. He is also overly critical of other people's style and looks, picking apart any 'unappealing' traits, although usually outside of earshot to ensure there is no violent reaction to it. When in a position of even the slightest power, he goes a bit mad with it, but is easily brought back in line.
• Powers: "Evidence doesn't lie, does it?" Daniel has the ability to manipulate two-dimensional visual pieces, such as photographs and video recordings. This can range from his traditional past time of creating exceptional fake IDs, to being able to yell "ENHANCE!" at camera footage and have it actually work like in crime procedure shows and many other things. None of this has any effect outside of the exact version he is working on and he has to have vision to the thing he wishes to edit.
• Skills: Despite being easily cowed, Daniel is a tough kid if pushed. Not superhuman or anything but definitely tougher than your average 15-year old. In addition, he is actually a pretty skilled photographer and has an (almost) photographic memory.
• Gear: Just your usual highschooler junk: laptop, phone, etc. Also a very nice camera.
• Backstory: Daniel was born with his powers. This might seem like an odd thing to suggest for such a strange ability but Daniel was a very ugly baby but all the photos of him had him look very handsome. His parents, both very vain professional bodybuilders, were not happy with having a child who lied about his own good looks, especially since they were so reliant on such a thing for their living. Growing up with an older sister who took more after their parents, Daniel quickly developed a complex about his inferiority to his family and his family's genes' superiority to most people. He lacked the drive and determination his family had to better themselves physically and instead relied on his abilities to try and trick people into thinking he belonged amongst the family of Adonisi. His sister and her friends finally found a use for him in using his abilities to get them fake IDs. One (1), in what can be said to be a life altering moment for Daniel, called him 'Dan the Man'. After doing it for his sister and her friends, Daniel began to try and make a business out of it. However, he lacked subtlety and was quickly caught. In an attempt to get himself out of trouble, he manipulated footage in front of the police and was considered to thusly be 'dangerous', due to what his powers were capable of and his low self-esteem making him an easy target to fall in with the wrong crowd. So naturally they send him off to be surrounded by the wrong crowd at D&D Academy.
• Miscellaneous: Thinks a lot of stuff is dumb, especially if he can't manipulate it with his ability.

"Evii is right though" -Saturn "I didn't know you were a bitch Evii." -Lior Val

• Name: Leanna Dakota
• Age: 18
• Gender: F
• Appearance: Given the legal opportunity, she will kill you. Leanna is about 5'4" by default.
• Sexuality: "MY FIST, ON A DATE WITH YOUR FACE." (Bi)
• Personality: Leanna has an intense drive towards just having things in general. Part of it is also that she likes using her power, and exercising her power, and overall demonstrating her superiority, and stealing shit comes naturally given her powers. She believes that people born into their powers are better equipped to deal with them, and holds both a superiority complex and a distrust of people who didn't live with their powers. This is pretty nakedly just a view of normal humans as second-class citizens. Indulgence in her powers and in the material world are her main sources of happiness; hedonism-adjacent, you know how it is. Kind of a sugar fiend. However, she thinks poorly of the use of gear and technology to support, augment, or control powers—you're weak if you need anything external of yourself to succeed. It's necessary to decompress and chillax with material shit and to look nice with hot clothes, but Leanna doesn't think that if you need possessions to succeed you shouldn't succeed in the first place. Obviously, using her powers to absorb shit doesn't count because she's improvising from the world around her, not shit that she carries.
• Powers:
  • Leanna can essentially absorb nonliving matter into herself and integrate it into her body, allowing her to either repair her body, make herself denser, or perform limited shapeshifting by manipulating the matter absorbed—changing her face by applying the converted matter over her face like a mask, for instance. She can also eject the absorbed matter from her body and return it to its original form from wherever on herself, allowing her to just sort of store things on her body.
• Skills:
  • Leanna is a pretty accomplished brawler, combining raw force with technique. She prefers to throw her weight around with super dense boxing strikes rather than anything with big fists, and she is capable at any weight class.
  • Leanna doesn't have a high pain tolerance but she does have a strong stomach. She's been drinking coffee and beer since she was like 15.
  • Leanna's trained herself in making The Brand strong as hell in the crucible of Super Twitter; she reads and writes super fast and can manage herself on social media very capably.
• Gear: Mostly just a phone and a well-stocked wallet. Again, gear to succeed is for the weak.
• Backstory: Leanna's parents are potent supervillains that conceived her in secret to keep them safe. She grew up with letters sneaked to her, and the belief that she was better than all the scrubs in her adoptive family, but her powers manifested late. The probably rightfully deserved bullying from her superiority complex flipped hard once she, at sixteen, absorbed a bench into her fist and threw a kid through a window. From there she made a name for herself on social media as a sort of "junior supervillain," with videos of her kicking asses going big online. She as a result got herself thrown in the chokey repeatedly. Instead though she escalated, and began working on a real manifesto, The World Order We Need. In it she detailed a new world order of, essentially superpower-ocracy, which set off all sorts of flags and got her sent straight to D&D.
• Miscellaneous: Anything you can think of that doesn't fit into any of the other categories.

Name: Magpie

---

Age: 10 (?)

---

Gender: Female (?)

---

Sexuality: ???

---

Appearance: Magpie appears as a (5 ft. tall, 100 lbs) scrawny 10-year-old girl with silver eyes and black white-streaked hair tied in a ponytail. She wears a white button-up short-sleeved shirt under a black button-up vest, black knee-length shorts with white trim, baggy knee-high woolen socks, knee-high combat boots, leather fingerless gloves, and a black top hat with a red hatband.

---

Personality: Magpie is a fundamentally cheerful and kindhearted entity, with a mischievous streak a mile long. She tends to hide her cunning with seeming stupidity and has a penchant for a dramatic flair. She hates corrupt authority figures, unfair laws, haughty/disdainful behavior, and prejudice. She likes making new friends, napping, reading, pranks, riddles, jokes, stealing, and good food.

Her main "mental affliction" is a Robin Hood Complex—she is unable to resist stealing from those who she perceives as lording themselves over others. This mad kleptomania was the thing that got her sent to the Academy.

---

Powers:

• Her main powers are centered around stealing/giving luck. She can use it to increase/decrease the chances of something breaking, "curse" people, as well as pull off some truly ridiculous stunts. After she steals luck, she will become "fortunate," and vice versa if she gives luck.
• She is able to create a number of small hidden alcoves ("hideaways") that do not affect the surrounding space. The contents can be accessed through her top hat or any existing aperture at any time, and she can connect them to form secret passageways.
• She can turn into a European Magpie. It feels and looks a little "fae."

---

Skills:

• Stealth, Pick-pocketing, Lock-picking, Sleight-of-Hand, Lying, Parkour, Escape Artistry, Running Away, Marksmanship, Knife-throwing

---

Gear:

• A bow and quiver full of arrows
• A bunch of throwing knives
• Two 1' daggers
• Top hat (to access hideaways)

---

Backstory: Magpie is the literal embodiment of the resentment of people oppressed by corrupt authorities. She has a serious obsession with stealing things from people who abuse their power. Unfortunately, this has led her to be branded a criminal. Hearing that the Academy's authorities are embezzling money and are more concerned with themselves than their students' well-being, she allowed herself to be caught and shipped off the Academy to investigate the situation.

---

Miscellaneous:

• The reason she appears as a young girl is so that people will underestimate her.
• She is extremely fragile and isn't really proficient in melee.

I wear the skin of the Elder Things, having come unto my own.

All accepted.

Umm... so, I was here, I guess. If I wasn't, someone hacked my account. So, yeah.

• Identity: Michael Vancouver (goes by Vertex in costume)
• Age: 19
  • Sexuality: “As if you're worth my time.” (Heteromantic)
• Appearance: 5'8 in height. Carries an unnaturally attractive appearance, which may shift very slightly based on his preference.◊
• Personality: While physically attractive, anyone around Michael for an extended period of time will begin to notice something off in his behaviour. Initially coming across as smooth, suave, and all-around pleasant, Michael appears to have a severely narcissistic and arrogant mindset, believing himself to be on the top in terms of overall ability and is even on the verge of developing a god complex. Also possessing a vicious streak, Michael is apparently drunk in his own power, and although he is too prideful to admit it, he inwardly wants to become a better person nonetheless, and does at least attempt to help out and connect with his peers even if he only ends up alienating them later on. Truthfully afraid and disgusted of his powers and the effects they have on him and people's perception of him, Michael seems to have gradually reversed his perception as a coping mechanism, too frightened to accept his abilities head on and putting up a front of confidence that eventually grew out of control and became ingrained in his personality. A misguided individual, it may take a lot of effort and patience to shift Michael into a more respectable attitude, but it is nonetheless possible and something he himself wishes to do, even if it is deeply buried under a self-centered skin.
• Powers:
  • Abnormal Body: Contrasting with his appearance, Michael has a very jarring and disgusting powerset, all related to alteration of his physical form. His abnormal body has a ridiculously high pain threshold, a gradual regeneration ability^note  Can only be effective over prolonged breaks in action, cannot function correctly if constantly interrupted by further injury, and the power to reattach (mostly intact) lost limbs and other parts usually impossible to heal, like teeth or cartilage.^note  Once again mostly ineffective unless given a brief respite in battle, he could cause further damage or reattach it incorrectly if he does not carefully concentrate. Michael also has the ability to boost his physical attributes, such as strength, speed, hearing, etc. one at a time to superhuman levels (top speed if he concentrates on his legs is approx. 43.8 mph, and his toughest punch can send a small car flying a good 16 metres) as well as decrease and increase his mass using a latent energy source, theorized to be within a personal pocket dimension. The more he draws from this source, the more physically disfigured he becomes, characterized by a discolouration of his eyes and the manifestation of pronounced veinlike structures below his skin, to the point where he may draw on too much and completely shift into a repulsive mutated form of flesh, sinew, and other such deformities. In theory, he may be able to shapeshift and mimic other people's forms, however his narcissism has prevented him from even thinking about that possibility.
• Skills:
  • Artistry: A hidden talent of his, Michael is gifted in terms of sketching and drawing, a hobby that he finds himself doing from time to time to ease his nerves or simply when he has time alone. For whatever reason, he seems somewhat ashamed of his skill, and vehemently denies and covers up any evidence of his artistic side.
  • Empathy: Shockingly, Michael has the skill of being able to read and sympathise with other people's emotions by their body language. As expected, he once again rarely showcases this ability except in private situations, as his pride usually prevents him from stooping down to the level of people he insists are lower than him. Despite all that, he may give into sympathy if he is in a more private situation, and still uses this skill subconsciously, mentally identifying every person he sees by their emotions, much to his chagrin.
• Gear: With the exception of his costume (which he keeps in a small messenger bag) Michael also owns a decently high-end phone and his wallet, which interestingly doesn't contain that much in the way of money.
• Backstory: Michael has little memory of his earlier life, occasional flickering images of some sort of testing facility filled with other children causing him to come to the conclusion that his powers weren't natural from birth and were 'given' to him, although this is not proven to be true yet. His earliest stable memories are being raised on the streets by multiple homeless individuals, eventually leading up to his most prominent memory of being rescued by a large, armoured figure with a cape, presumably a superhero of some sort that proceeded to take him to a small farmer couple where he spent the rest of his early life. While unable to find this super later on, Michael is still searching for their identity, as he owes much of his ease of life to them. At some point being kicked out of the farm, quite possibly due to an incident involving his powers, Michael once again drifted from place to place, discovering more and more about his abilities and gradually developing a warped mindset as he used them before finally being tracked down by the authorities in his mid-teens and taken to the Damage & Dysfunction reformation academy, presumably on the basis of his reckless usage of his powers.

• Name: Responds to Raptor, Dino, Deino(nychus) and Ricky. Also responds to Sharkface, Freak and the like, but you may not like the response.
• Age: 17
• Gender: Female
• Sexuality: "I dunno what Dolly would say." (Lesbian)
• Appearance: Once you go edgelord, you cannot go back. She's actually freakishly tall at 7'4 once she straightens out, but usually walks crouching just fine.
• Personality: Dino tries her best to reform, but old habits die hard. Used to living on the run, pouching and mugging things off people and exacting her right to exist with violence, she's having a hard time reining her primal instincts and living in a rigid society, let alone a school order. That isn't to say she's not sociable. Far from it; she's very much eager to meet new people, make friendships and the like. It's just that she has an easy time making enemies due to her quick temper and violent disposition. Weirded out by physical contact that doesn't involve ripping someone's flesh off their face, but she is expected to thaw out on that over time.
• Powers:
  • As a result of experimentation, Dino got horribly mutated (showcased on the picture). It has its good sides, namely bestowing her with incredible physical capability. She can use her legs to leap huge distances and tear people apart not unlike a deinonychus would, as well as land safely from great heights or even climb a limited distance with just her feet. Her handclaw, beyond being big and sharp, is also armored and so attacks aimed at it will be less effective. Also, her teeth are sharp too and she can conceivably sever someone's head off its neck with a big enough bite. She's not particularly tough as far as supers are concerned, but the life of a fugitive made her tough enough to weather blows and resist elements.
  • Of course, that huge claw is barely functional as a hand, and she seems strangely averse to loud noises.
• Skills:
  • She jumps good.
  • Also, she's surprisingly good at doing things with only one hand, though more complex stuff eludes her.
  • A skilled traceur. Being good at parkour helps escaping the government hunters, after all.
• Gear: Just the clothes on her back, her old duffel bag and a couple of small items inside. Of note is a frivolous pink bowtie that belonged to Dino's late best friend, kept as a memento and to remind her of her mission.
• Backstory: The homeless are perfect targets to abduct for illegal government experimentation. Homeless kids are even better. Such was the fate of this one homeless kid, alongside her peers. They couldn't possibly think that they would miss living on the street and begging for breadcrumbs. Where the experiments were being conducted and what purpose they had, Dino could not say, but she saw her unlikely friends dying and suffering. Some were mutated to a point where their humanity was forfeit. Some could not bear the strain and perished. Some were deemed too dangerous and "were released" from the facility. Nobody was fooled.
  • Dino might have been doomed to die in that facility if not for a help of another fellow mutant, a small girl called Dolly (because she looked like a creepy porcelain doll). Together with few others who dared, they organized the great escape. Their freedom was short-lived; they were being chased near immediately. Slowly, but surely their numbers dwindled. The government's hunters were relentless and merciless. Eventually, the escape party was down to Dino and Dolly. And even then their success was short-lived: Raptor's best friend was beyond saving the moment she left the facility. Her body was weak and fragile and it was only a matter of time before she expired from the strain of her mutations.
  • While they still had to run, Dino made sure that Dolly got everything she wanted. These few months were spent on getting things for her, and Dino only knew how to get them via violence (or the threat of some). The pursuit was less heated now, so they could afford to get to know each other better. With each day Dino was hurting more, realizing that the girl she came to love will be going away, and there was nothing she could do to stop it. Eventually, a week before Dolly passed away she made a selfish request: she wanted Dino to try and live a normal life, or at least as normal as she could, given the circumstances. To that end, she suggested that Dino enrolls in D&D Academy; perhaps the only place where she could find safe haven.
  • As such, Raptor turned herself in to the faculty, recognized as a perpetrator of a nation-wide string of mugging, grievous bodily harm and few accounts of astonishingly brutal murder. The hounds of the government had to give the chase a rest for the time being...

I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.

Couldn't resist joining this. Also, might want to consider making a Discord for this (or possibly asking kkhohoho to make a channel in the My Superhero Academy Discord).

• Name: Samson Abrahamson
• Age: 17
• Gender: Male
  • Sexuality: The Straightest
• Appearance: An enormous bronze-skinned young man, easily seven feet tall, and shredded beyond all reason. Very long (to his lower back) dark hair, tied up in three braids. A blue six-pointed star is tatooed on his back. His 'costume' is just him taking off his shirt and putting on some (fake) gold hairbands and bracelets to accent his physique.
• Personality: Loud, brash, obnoxious. All of these describe Samson rather well. He's a bit egotistical, overly agressive when flirting with women, and will jump into a fight with basically zero provocation. But when not trying to hit on or just plain hit someone, he's actually a pretty nice guy. Samson is protective of others, especially children or social outcasts, and his default response to seeing someone get picked on is to start throwing punches. While he genuinely does want to help people, he struggles to find a way to do so that doesn't involve beating the hell out of everything.
• Powers: The Bod from God - Super-Strength and Super-Toughness. Samson can easily bench press small cars and shrug off bullets with minimal discomfort. Thanks to his super-strength legs, he can jump a hundred feet high and outrun a car in a straight line, though he's not particularly nimble. Magical attacks tend to bounce off of him, and anything with a 'holy' or 'divine' element to it can't harm him at all. His body is perpetually muscular despite all the junk food he eats.
  • Covenant: The drawback to his immense strength is that certain behaviors can weaken him. Specifically, eating food that isn't kosher, drinking alcohol, or smoking pretty much anything will weaken him until it passes through his system. He's still superhuman, but only about half as strong and tough as usual. If his hair is cut, his power is lost until it grows back to its original length (this happens at an accelerated rate, but it can still take a few days depending on how much hair he lost).
• Skills: He's a fairly decent amateur boxer, by which I mean he's very skilled at punching people in the face. Also a surprisingly good baker.
• Gear: Just the clothes on his back (metaphorically speaking, given he rarely actually wears a shirt).
• Backstory: The biblical Samson reborn, blessed by God with incredible strength. Or so his parents told him, anyway. In truth, he doesn't know why he alone, out of all his family, was born with powers. All he knows is that they've made his life incredibly difficult. Always much taller and stronger than others his age, and unable to properly control his strength as a child, he severely injured several classmates in a schoolyard spat, and so was taken out of elementary school and homeschooled until he was old enough to start High School. Naturally, he was overjoyed to go back to a public school, but despite being an eager-eyed freshman he almost immediately got into a fight with an older kid who he saw as a bully. Naturally, the other guy didn't stand a chance. While he was able to get off with a warning the first time, after awhile it was apparent that Samson was far too quick to rush to violence. His parents sent him to Damage & Dysfunction Academy in the hopes that he would learn to use his immense strength for good.

What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

Erm, well, I don't know how well this'll go, but here's a sheet. Just need to finish the bio and probably some edits, but if it's still a bit much now, just let me know. >.<

• Name: Jo Annetts
• Age: 16.
• Gender: Male.
• Sexuality: "...Why the heck would people be interested in me?" (Gonna leave it up in the air for now.)
• Appearance: Yup. Ignore the USB cable. He's 144cm tall and 38kg / 4'7 and 83 pounds.
• Personality: When he's at his worst, Jo is rather caustic and passive-aggressive young man who tends to act a bit like a spoiled brat and somewhat haughty when things don't go his way. Not to mention he loathes being pitied or looked down because of his physical shortcomings and more is than happy to show someone mocking him for being 'weak' how mistaken they are after a demonstration of his powers.

On the other hand, when he's not in an unpleasant mood, he's not averse to being around others, provided they don't push any that main Berserk Button of his as the young man has little issue with socializing...even if he's not exactly used to doing such a thing, tending to be quiet and trying not to sound hostile.

• Powers: Psychokinesis. While one would simply assume it's lifting and moving physical matter at potential threats until they stop moving Jo is quite capable of doing more than just that as he's able to send them flying. Along with being able to hover above the ground rather than walk, crush or bend objects in his way or creating a barrier of force to stop enemy bullets or blades in their tracks.
  • Of course, while he's quite capable of hurling people or living things away, he refuses to actually pick them up like objects out of fear of crushing them like a soda can...along with his over-reliance on these powers of his as without them, Jo is practically helpless.
• Skills: Has a knack of learning new things quickly. He's rather good at math as well and a speed reader.
• Gear: Aside from his laptop, most of his 'gear' is just some sentimental stuff, those headphones of his especially so.
• Backstory: To say Jo was fortunate enough to have patient and loving parents would be a bit of an understatement. Being an only child left him somewhat of a sheltered and spoiled brat who usually got his way, although the latter died down somewhat after discovering his powers and finding himself spending a fair amount of time in hospital. As he kept that fact of being able to move objects with his mind to himself, the doctor's couldn't explain why his muscles had suffered from atrophy while his bones had become brittle, leaving Jo in a wheelchair as his legs were unable to support him.

Understandably, this left him envious towards other kids his age as he was cooped up indoors at the public school he attended, keeping himself busy with books in the library while gradually trying to figure out what exactly he could do with his powers and having very few friends with one being a rather shy boy who opened up a little when talking about wanting to be a masked, enigmatic hero one day...while the other was a rather energetic girl with glasses that wanted to become a scientist. Either way, figuring out how to use his powers to make his life far easier brought about a sense of superiority that he wasn't so powerless.

Of course, that eventually came to an end not long after his fourteenth birthday when a bout of bullying went too far, lashing out far more violently than intended by sending the bullies flying along with nearby benches and rocks, leaving them considerably injured...and clipping his friends, injuring them in the process as well. Understandably, something like this wouldn't be easily swept under the rug and despite his parents asking for a more lenient 'sentence', Jo accepted getting sent to D&D.

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

Character Creation Sheet:

• Name: Experimental Test Subject X-DC 05 (Goes by Damien as well)

• Age: 16

• Gender: Fluid but normally stays in a base male form.

• Sexuality: Pansexual

• Appearance: It tends to change, through he prefers to keep a more masculine form, white skin, and longer brown hair that falls almost perfectly flat. His appearance lends itself well to disappearing into the background and he can be easily ignored by most. If needed he tends to variate this base look across male, female, and any variation needed.

• Personality: Quiet and reserved to an almost disturbing extent to the point where he could blend into any crowd. That being said if one of his few emotional triggers are hit he has been known to fly into a rage that could take hours to finally dull down to a usual low annoyance. While he has no interest in other people he doesn't go out of his way to be an asshole and will more often then not help others if asked.

• Powers: "Blood being", His entire body is a constructed shell to keep what is essentially a mass of sentient red blood cells from being exposed. However he can actively change the properties of his blood, creating bone like structures within his body, eyes, and even hair. However he can also turn this abilities off and reduce his form to red liquid and remodify himself into a different appearance.

As stated above he can convert the red matter inside of him into a variety of weapons or shields, being on par with steel in terms of strength, however the more he loses from his inner mass the weaker he will become.

The most dangerous part of his abilities, and the reason he was thrown into a school in the middle of nowhere, is that he can convert the blood of others into his own and add it back to his own stock. This process is slow moving and can be reversed with a vaccine provided by the lab he was created in to the school.

• Skills: Hand to hand combat, non-physical form, weapons training (melee weapons), advanced intellect.
• Gear: Carries nothing except for his own clothing, as he can make his own weapons and doesn't require armor as he can simply remake new skin cells as needed. That being said he is fond of sugary treats and will often stockpile candy and keep it hidden.

• Backstory: It all started with a D-rank villain by the name of Tepes, born with the same Blood Form power as Damien but without any proper training outside of what experience he gained from fighting heroes. The low class villain was supposedly killed in a prision riot but was in reality pulled into a government run program to create Super Soldiers to match the growing ranks of meta-humans. Attempts to infect adult test subjects simply resulted in assimilation to the greater mass within Tepes making it seem impossible for the program to succeed.

However another project 'Copycat' came together with their latest test subject, a clone vat grown young man of some minor villain who didn't manifest the same ability as their genetic donor. They were placed in the same room and injected with Tepes' blood, causing a visible panic in the older man. He cursed the scientists as monsters as his infection began to take roost in the cloned body. Tepes then whispered something to Damien and broke down his body into liquid form. Damien was observed to create a spear made from his own blood and stab it into the red mass, absorbing Tepes into his own form.

Tests were run to ensure that Tepes had been fully absorbed into the cloned body, and after years of examination the cloned body seemed to have the only personality in tact. However some thought bleed seemed to have occurred during their fusion and the project was deemed another failure. They shipped their experiment D and D Academy in hopes that they could at least create a hero out of the mess, through it might also have something to do with the fact that even if he went crazy they could just drop a bomb on the place and call it done if needed.

For his part Damien doesn't seem to care much for the fact that his entire life has been as an experiment, and just wishes to live quietly and perform the duties asked of him. Through he does have occasional bouts of anger due to Tepes' thoughts and emotions bleeding into his own.

Layla Renaulds is not accepted. The reasons for this are too numerous to go into right now. I'm really sorry about this, but I've got to say no to that particular concept.

Everyone else is accepted.

Umm... so, I was here, I guess. If I wasn't, someone hacked my account. So, yeah.

Sweet. So do you have an estimate on when we'll start? Also, you want me to make a Discord server for this game for you? I'll make you admin, of course. Just let me know if you need help with anything.

What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

Posting a WIP
