Where am I? What's going on?
#27: Aug 19th 2019 at 6:26:55 PM

What am I doing with my life?

  • Real Name: Iris Langley

  • Superhero Name: Visionary

  • Age: 17

  • Appearance: A girl of small build and pale skin, with shoulder-length black hair. Every part of her body and clothing is dotted with constantly shifting, moving eyes. Her costume itself consists of black armor resembling some kind of hellish knight with a large neon green eye painted on the front.

  • Personality: While finding people who accept her and embracing her heritage has done quite a bit for her self-confidence, Iris is at heart still a meek, shy girl who has a hard time talking to new people.

  • Powers:
    • She of the Many Eyes: Most obviously, Iris manifests countless eyes on both her body and any surface she's touching. These eyes can be formed both consciously and unconsciously and move around freely, functioning as normal human eyes as well as a focus for her other abilities.
    • Heat Vision
    • Freeze Vision
    • X-Ray Vision
    • Night Vision
    • 8th Dimensional Movement: Iris can create eye-shaped portals to move in and out of the 8th dimension, a realm of Elder Things that would break the brain of any mortal without the blessing of one of Them. Distances are distorted in this dimension as opposed to the mortal plane, allowing long distances to be converted into short ones and vice versa. She's still working out the kinks of actually getting where she wants to go.
    • Children of Ahl'kuur: Iris is able to summon and command the Children of Ahl'kuur, roughly dog-sized creatures consisting of giant eyeballs resting on tentacle-like optic nerves.

  • Backstory: The Langley Clan is an influential and wealthy family in the town of Innsnose, Massachusetts, but they have a (poorly kept) secret. The entire family belongs to a cult worshipping Ahl'kuur, the Many-Eyed One, an Elder God and Eldritch Abomination known to very few in this plane of existence. Iris was the first Langley in centuries to be born with the Blessing of Ahl'kuur, which naturally left her isolated for most of her childhood, and eventually led to her attending Saint Academy.

    Upon leaving Saint Academy, Iris had a new mission. Inspired by her friends and classmates, she set off to learn more about her Blessing and hone it into a tool to help people. Over two years of intensive study that culminated in her communing with Ahl'kuur itself, Iris was able to discover new facets of her Blessing and get on fairly good terms with her patron. Thus, (after working up the nerve), she returned to Super City to join the Saint Foundation and put her abilities to use.

He has also become much harder on himself to do better, for better and for worse.

    • Body Weapons: He can make weapons from his body of energy. The weapons can only last so long though.

An Ordinary Oddball
#31: Oct 6th 2019 at 3:36:48 PM

  • Real Name: Cain Adamson
  • Superhero Name: Kaine (Why deny the edge?)
  • Age: Tired Old ManTM
  • Appearance: Old man. He deliberately wears a silver crucifix sometimes to mock his lesser kin's weaknesses.
  • Personality: Cain can easily come across as abrasive and a little bit rude, and he doesn't deny it. He treats everything as a hassle, but that's just an act at this point. It's when he doesn't complain that one knows something is serious. Even if he cares a lot about someone, he takes special care not to reveal it. Cain can be very stubborn and confrontational sometimes. He dislikes people who try to tell him what is "good" and what is "evil," but he often ends up doing good anyways "according to his own desires." He can't stop. It's part of who he is. He's Cain, no more, no less.
  • Powers:
    • PROGENITOR ALPHA: Cain carries the supernatural virus that would "later" branch into the types that made vampires and were-animals, and as such has increased strength, speed, stamina, and endurance, along with slightly increased senses from it. However, his version is the "unevolved" version, so his powers are weaker and have not developed into their stronger versions yet. Thus, Cain has none of the typical vampiric powers, but has none of the weaknesses, either. However, he is able to control vampires and were-animals by giving them commands while making eye contact with them, with only the particularly strong-willed ones being able to break out of his control. His mere presence cows the more weak-willed of his lesser kin. He loses all his enhancements if he doesn't regularly consume blood, but it's more like a necessary dietary supplement anyways. He has the requisite blood-drawing natural weapons such as fangs and sharp claws instead of fingernails for this purpose.
    • Curse of Cain: If an attack is made against Cain with killing intent behind it (specifically directed at him) and the attack connects, the damage is reflected. However, this can be easily mitigated by the attack not being a direct one (i.e. a ricochet or a bomb producing shrapnel). Armor and natural resistances also help mitigate damage. Although Cain has a vampiric healing factor that can be sped up if he drinks blood, he can still feel pain, and enough accumulated damage can indeed kill him. The easiest way to do so is to send mindless artificial being such as golems and robots after him. The curse is indicated by an ancient murderer's brand on his forehead.
  • Gear:
    • Blade Made of a Brother's Bones: This is an eight-inch tactical knife, but the blade is noticably made of human bone. This knife can bypass the natural immunities of supernatural beings (even divine ones) in addition to being extremely sharp. This would be incredibly powerful if not for the fact that it's a dinky little knife, not even a sword or anything like that. Cain has to get real up close and personal in battle to use it. He's managed to somewhat counter this weakness by getting very good at knife-fighting in his long life. He can recall this knife back into his hand with but a thought whenever he throws it.
  • Backstory: Cain is the titular Cain from the Biblical stories, except he did not willingly kill his brother Abel. He was infected by a strange virus from an unknown source (some say the divines deliberately did this in order to teach humanity a lesson or make them more amusing by introducing the concept of murder), and went mad under its effects. He willingly accepted his punishment and Mark in order to atone for this misdeed. The story was changed during a secret conspiracy engineered by vampires to hide their existence for a while longer. He has hunted his kin through the ages—those that have been sadistic or given to excess, anyways—and recently decided to go on a bit of a sabbatical by joining the Saint Foundation.

[up]Accepted.

Also, we've recently enacted a hard character limit. Each player can only have up to two active PC's at a time. That said, any dropped characteres can be brought back as guest NPC's if there's a story to be told with them, but that's the exception to the rule.

Been a while, but I feel like returning with a new character.

  • Real Name: Gloria Zophiel
  • Superhero Name: Providence
  • Age: Appears to be in her 20s. Chronologically, probably significantly older.
  • Appearance: Here is her casual-ish outfit. She stands at a towering 8’0” tall. Her “costume” is just her using her light powers to make herself look more radiant and imposing.
  • Personality: Gloria is a person who believes that mercy and compassion are incredibly important, and that violence should always be a means of last resort. She attempts to befriend even those typically deemed unholy, believing that everyone has the potential for goodness within them. This isn’t to say she never strikes down villains, but this is something she does with a heavy heart.
    • Angel: Being an angel comes with several perks. She’s strong enough to lift trucks and punch through steel, plus she can take a hit a vehicle head on. She can also fly at around 40 to 60 mph at the absolute quickest. She also doesn’t need to eat/drink/sleep and can’t become sick or poisoned.
    • Healing Hands: Gloria can heal the wounds of whomever she lays her hands upon – to some extent, anyway. This isn’t a substitute for proper medical care and rest, but it can let the injured hold onto life when they’re in critical condition so that they can be taken care of.
    • Holy Light: Gloria has power over light, and can use it for a variety of purposes. Offensively, she can use it to create laser beams or burning hot flames that are especially effective against the undead, demons – anything that could be considered “unholy”, really. Not to say they aren’t effective against more mundane targets. She can also blind her foes with radiance, or even bend light around her body to become invisible to the naked eye.
  • Gear: Gloria carries around a heavenly sword and shield. Her blade is specially effective against unholy targets, and her shield is simply very sturdy and reliable.
  • Backstory: Gloria was born in the Celestial realm, where all angels live. It was there the virtues of her kin were instilled upon her: protect the weak, show mercy to those around you, and strive to be as good as you can possibly be. She descended to Earth, believing that she could do more in the realm of mortals than her own homeland. She spent her life coming to the aid of the poor, sick, and needy in an attempt to put these principles into practice. When she eventually learned of superheroes, she was uncertain of the idea of becoming one due to her hesitance to use violence. Eventually though, something - perhaps her exposure to various dangers around the city - convinced her there were some causes worth taking up her sword against.

CHARACTER CREATION SHEET

1. Real Name: Kano Agano

2. Superhero Name: Night Light

3. Age: 18

4. Appearance: Kano is a relatively tall lanky young man with long unkept black hair and very pale skin. He has pale grey pupils and usually sports large dark bags under his eyes. His pupils dissipate when using his power and begin to glow a bright white. When not in his costume he is almost always in pajamas, with his favorite being his royal purple pajama pants and lavender shirt. For his hero costume, he wears a royal purple costume with two black sashes over his shoulders forming the shape of an X, with a glowing yellow lighting bolt insignia at the center on his chest. Yellow electric currents can be clearly seen in the sashes, originating from the insignia. At night his insignia, the currents in his sashes, and the glow of his eyes all shine significantly brighter.

5. Personality: Kano is a very quiet and stoic person, often keeping his feelings and emotions to himself, though he somehow still manages to convey his feelings without speaking or even acting in any way out of the ordinary. He is often very tired due to both his severe narcolepsy and the kickback of his power. As such, he is often groggy and slow to respond. Despite this and his quiet personality, he is a surprisingly friendly person, enjoying talking to others, especially those he deems his friends. He has a very strong sense of justice and despises heroes that put the well being of themselves over needs of others.

6. Powers: Kano has control of a completely unseeable, and very tangible force, that allows him to influence the world around him. He can use it to pick up things, push things, throw things, crush things, slice things, rend things, fly, and even create a simple force field. His ability is powerful enough to crush, break, or slice concrete and steel with relative ease, however his power does come with a draw back. His power takes an obscene amount of energy to use, and that combined with his narcolepsy means that he has a hard time doing hero work for overly long periods of time, and when he isn’t working, he’s usually sleeping. This kickback can cause him to fall asleep in the middle of doing hero work, or even leave him comatose if he attempts to use his power on low energy. The source of this power is unknown, and even though it has been in his family for a couple generations, it’s origin has not been traced. For whatever reason, his power seems to become a bit more powerful during the night and the kickback affects him a bit less.

7. Gear: The sashes and insignia on his costume actually serves a very distinct, and important purpose. His suit is designed to keep track of his heartbeat and, whenever he shows signs of tiring or simply falling asleep, send a small electric shock to his heart. Although this is a bit painful, it has the trade off of keeping him awake and energized, and even improving his tolerance to pain.

8. Backstory: Kano is the latest in a relatively long line of minor super heroes. His fathers side of the family all had a power very similar to his, albeit much less powerful and taxing, and both his father and grandfather were heroes, though his grandfather perished before he was born. Due to the nature of his ability, he actually went through most of his childhood as a relatively normal human, with no intention of following his family legacy. This changed however, when his father was killed in action, not by a villain, but by a careless hero thinking him a villain. This led the death of his father, Cymbal, and over a dozen other citizens he was in the midst of saving. Kano, distraught, made the realization that the one thing that the world needed more than anything were true heroes, people who help others not for their own sake, but for the sake of others, a breed of heroes going extinct in present day, and the kind of hero his father was. Kano, at this point in his mid-teens, resolved to make up for the tragic loss of a great hero, and become the kind of hero his father was, spending the next 3 years training with his powers until he eventually got to where he is now, a new recruit in The Saint Foundation, and still as exhausted as ever

9. Miscellaneous: As stated before, he does have narcolepsy. Whether this is naturally cause or because of his powers hasn’t been decided; Up until recently he has lived with his powerless mother, Annabelle Agano, but moved out upon being recruited into The Foundation.

[up]Accepted. That said, we're actually near the end of this RP. Not that it's really the end. Once it's done, we'll be starting a new RP that continues where World left off, and you can just port your Sign-up over. But you're welcome to join the Discord regardless.

  • Real Name: Aquarius Razin
  • Superhero Name: Red River
  • Age: 18
  • Appearance: Aquarius, is chubby, yet somehow lighter than he looks. He sports a long ponytail, has naturally long eyelashes and a long ponytail with purple cat-eyes. Despite his age, he stands at 5'1. His skin is a rather pasty white. His eyes have dark circles under them.
  • Personality: He is studious and likes to regard himself as a hard-worker, despite him actually being rather lazy. He doesn't particularly care about his subjects- just that he wants good grades. Despite what others may say, he's rather self-conscious about his eyes and looks in general. He doesn't take anything in life too seriously, and is self-relient.
  • Powers: Aquarius can pause your vision and make you focus on certain points, effectively making you blind. He can also see spirits.
  • Gear: Electric batons and pepper spray.
  • Backstory: Aquarius used to be a cheerful and a laid-back kid just like his hippie parents. On his 9th birthday, his parents had brought him into their colourful attic and told him to lay down on the soft rug. The place was donned with chandeliers of the like, and had colourful curtains all around. There was even a nice pillow on the rug! He did as he was told and was given some weird looking candy, which made him fall asleep. After he woke up, he felt like his body was almost on fire. He was crying, and his parents were laughing instead of helping. His eyesight got misaligned and as he got up, his vision kept focused on the same place for a short while until his eyes became strained and he closed them shut. Since then he has learned to mistrust his parents, and has continued to train his powers by himself.
  • Miscellaneous:
    • His parents gave him experimental drugs for his powers.
    • His mum is Russian while his dad is Malaysian, and he speaks both languages. But he also knows Swedish from his time spent in Sweden.
    • He has a Russian accent.
