KarlKadaver Stupid Man Suit Wearer from Just offscreen... Since: Apr, 2011
Stupid Man Suit Wearer
#51: Aug 31st 2011 at 9:13:42 AM

Here's Brad. Note the lack of quotation marks. I've also nerfed some of his abilities as a plot point. He's no longer a nigh-unstoppable killing machine.

  • Name: Brad Wilkins (His True Name can't be pronounced in our tongue, so he just goes by 'Brad')
  • RP: Superhero Roleplay
  • Appearance: (The Brad Form:) 6’1” Short dirty blonde hair, brown eyes, tanned skin, average weight. He is always seen wearing a black polo shirt with khaki cargo pants. His true form is mostly a shapeless, black blob.
  • Race: Devourer, a kind of Eldritch Abomination
  • Skills/Powers/Equipment: He is able to turn any part of his body into any organic substance, complete with regeneration. His powerset lies somewhere between Alex Mercer and William Birkin. His weakness is elemental damage (Fire, Lightning, Extreme Cold). Toxins bother him, but don’t do any permanent damage. Neither to piercing damage or blunt-force trauma.
  • History: ‘Brad’ came to this planet on a small meteor that crashed on the outskirts of a booming metropolis. Its first victims were a pair of young adults parked out on ‘Lover’s Lane, ’ Brad and Jenny. From there, it devoured several more humans that it came across before finally making its way to the next city over. The creature was becoming more confident, and began attacking in public. It was eventually confronted by a crack military team that ‘killed’ it while it was in human form. They shot it in the head with a high caliber rifle, destroying its brain. This didn’t kill it, however; it only erased its memories of being a cosmic horror. Long story short, the creature’s ‘body’ was taken to a laboratory for further study, where it regenerated its destroyed organs and managed to escape.

  • Nerfs/Plot points: To conserve energy, Brad no longer transforms. He can still form Combat Tentacles and such from his body, but he does so sparingly.

Name: Ace Spellbound

RP: Mariglenica: 50Yl8r: Endless Chaos

Universe: Ace is from my personal "Heroes Universe" but was transported to the world of Mariglenica via warrior locator during a time of crisis.

Appearance

Race: Caucasian human being with family roots from Spain.

Skills/Powers/Equipment: The Spellbound Magi-clan magic is card tricks, Ace can manipulate playing cards in various ways which makes him one of the most versatile members of the team and his relxed and calm demeanor make him excellent at general manipulation and an excellent teacher to those who have trouble controlling their abilities.

History: Something of a lazy bum, Ace is an odd man. Ace is the heir to the Spellbound magi-clan family fortune and businesses. The Spellbounds, like many magi-clans, are a particularly large and wealthy family filled with prestigious and sophisticated people. Ace was not one of those people. He was always under the family’s watchful eye due to him being born on the day that doesn’t exist, February 29th. Ace grew up strange anyway, taking an interest in theatre instead of a money making profession like lawyer or doctor like the rest of his family. And then there were the other magi-clans. Some live peacefully, others want more power and will use their magic to do it, like the Hexxell family. Ace wanted to stop the Hexxell family to protect his family and the others. His parents and a good portion of the Spellbounds didn’t care. At all. Wasn’t their problem, they had their lives to deal with. Well this steamed Ace up and he lashed out against his family, opposed and defied them like no tomorrow. So they disowned him.

He was taken care of by his uncle Dickson “Dix” Spellbound, and Ace eventually went to college. Ace is a normally calm and peaceable person who doesn’t care for stress. He’s friendly, snarky, and relaxed. He finds all subcultures fair game to make fun of, including whatever he’s a part of. Ace is basically a drifting college student who works at a magic and novelty shop. His sister was interested in his exploits and chose to live with him instead of their parents.

Ace is a theatre major with a love of fiction which has given him a… skewed perception of reality, seeing the world as a giant movie or novel plot and his extensive knowledge of fiction allows him to see tropes and clichés as they happen or before they happen, in theory. Truth is most think he’s a little nuts and has been watching a little too much Stranger Than Fiction. He carries around pocket versions of a fiction dictionary called “Tropes: Guide to Media” and he is the first in line to buy revised versions of it. It helps him articulate the clichés and conventions he thinks he’s seeing in reality so he will know how to act accordingly.

Ace is difficult to rile, and there are only three things that induce his extreme ire: His family, the thought of his sister being taken away from him, and his twin cousin, Jackson Spellbound (born on the same day, not actually identical.). To Ace, Jack is his antithesis, his rival, his archenemy, and the person he wants to see die the most. Jack, like Ace, is extraordinarily tall (almost seven feet), but unlike Ace, Jack is prettier, more handsome, more successful, more family approved, more talented, more everything Ace will never be. And not that Ace cares, but Jack is the new heir to the family. Ace tries to keep Jack away from fear that Jack’s impressiveness will draw his sister, Hannah, away. Oh, and if Jack is in Ace’s presence for too long, Ace might kill him.

Why you picked this one: Ace is one of my favorite characters among my League of Heroes cast, furthermore of them all he's the most well designed for odd multiverse adventures. He's calm, meta, and a joker. He also has one of the more useful abilities that can make him a great asset no matter where he is. Furthermore, due to many inherent weaknesses in his abilities (fire, anybody) he's perfect as support or as a trapper.

  • Name: Lucas "Rook" Kinsler
  • RP: Mass Effect RP 2
  • Race: Human.
  • Skills/Powers/Equipment: To start, Lucas is an excellent pilot of ships or, as he's somehwat shown, just about anything that can be piloted. He's trained in Assault Rifles and Pistols, which is the standard for Alliance Military. As such, he carries a M-15 Vindicator and a M-6 Carnifex on his person at all times. What he does not know himself is that he is also very skilled in the use of Sniper Rifles and SM Gs, although due to his lack of knowledge of this he doesn't have one on his person. A recently acquired possession is his Medium Mercenary Armor, custom painted black with a white insignia of the Rook chess piece on either of the arms. Another thing he doesn't know is that he's excellent in hand-to-hand combat, although just getting in a fist fight won't show that he has this. One last thing is that he also has an abnormal reaction time, as if he's always expecting something to go wrong. Again, he doesn't know this, and doesn't show any behavior that he's hiding anything.
  • History: Lucas grew up around ships all his life, becoming a Pilot in the Alliance Military, unsurprisingly. He wasn't comfortable with working for a common goal, so he staked his claim in a mercenary crew and their only ship, the Ozymandias. In part to his rookie status and also because one turian wouldn't stop calling him Rook, Rook became his nickname from then on, which he gladly accepted. At a later occasion, Lucas saved the security officer of the Ozymandias crew, using the merc armor he keeps now. He had just gotten it custom painted when all this started, too...
  • Why i picked Lucas: Well, seeing as it's been awhile since i last used him, and i'd like to bring him back for the next Mass Effect RP when it starts, i figured i'd use this opportunity to get back in the groove of using him, although he'll be a bit different in that RP.

Feel free to bring Rook in when you want. We've already discussed, but to tell everyone else - Lucas will not have Mass Effect-verse standard deflectors.

Reason being that these deflectors are actually tough to write around without tge high-tech needed to open them.

Name: Etoral

RP: Kingdom Hearts: Twilight of the Stars

Universe: Scott Pilgrim

Appearance: A 16 year old with hazel eyes and short, flat hair. He wears a blue shirt with stylized daggers on the front, as well as black, form fitting pants. He has a constant twinkle in his eyes, but his face always looks tired due to too many nights spent out robbing from the rich and famous.

Race: Human

Skills/Powers/Equipment: Can Flash Step, and uses throwing knives in combat.

History: An American ninja who works as a professional thief to help support his mother, who owns a bookstore. Despite the fact that she sells books capable of boosting the intelligence and strength of anyone who reads them, they don't get many customers. Despite his job, he isn't very good at it. He has a knack for stealing the things worth the lowest amount of money possible out of all the valuables the targets own. If he had to make a choice between the holy grail and a quartz goblet, he'd probably take the goblet.

Why you picked this one: My first and only RP character. I also think it'd be rather interesting to see how his job impacts his life.

If i may make a suggestion, go to where you originally posted this character. Where it says 'Sun, Sept 18, 5:34:56' and whatnot, scroll over that, right-click, and copy the shortcut. Take out the link you have there in the post above this one, and replace it with that one, in the format of [[linkhere text here]].

I only say this because i clicked the link, and legitimately thought you were trying to weasel your way in with a character that never existed before that post. I checked too, and was proven wrong, but you might want to fix that.

Just a bit of confusion on my part.

It's no problem, i just got myself confused, despite it being the Kingdom Hearts RP. I thought i might suggest a solution before more questions were asked.
