Shadow, there's a thread with all the character sheets in it and it includes what parents have been taken. There's a link in the first post.

Life in Color

I'll have proper responses to everything in a minute after breakfast.

Hi, Shadow!

There are shared parents allowed, but you'd have to check with the player who is using whichever one you're borrowing and see if they're bueno with half-siblings.

Definitely.

And on the off chance that the spot is filled before you're able to get home, don't feel sad.

I'll tuck it away in my pile of character sheets that are done in case we've gone an opening. :]

Age: 25

==Relationships==

Family:
James “Buchanan” Barnes (Father MIA)
Daisy Johnson (Mother)
Steve Rodgers (Godfather MIA)
Players:

Anastasia Rogers - Nick grew up with little Annie and so has a very strong bond with the current Captain America. He takes every oppertunity he can get to tease rib her and despite all that she has done and accomplish refuses to see her as anything more than the girl next door.

==Description==

Height: 6’1
Weight: Green
Physical Description:Tall, dark and handsome is a rather fitting description for one Nicholas Stephen Barnes. He  sports a sculpted body, all lean and compact muscle giving him the shape and proportions of a gymnast or a prize fighter. Attractive yet very much functional. He stands fairly taller than most, with warm and welcoming, green eyes, full, thick, cupid bow lips seemingly almost always curved into a mischievous grin as well as sporting well defined cheekbones and jaw.

Personality Description:When both of your father figures were Captain America at some point in their lives it’s difficult to grow up jaded and angst riddled. Nick always keeps up a positive attitude because despite all the darkness and evil he says on a daily basis thanks to his work, he grew up seeing the good it had to offer and was taught just how precious it was. That it was worth fighting for. That being said he is not naive when he was old enough his father divulged to him the nature of his work as “the man on the wall” that the good and innocence of this world was to be protected by any means necessary and that protecting sometimes meant sacrifice. Besides those deep seated ideals based down from each of his father figures Nick is a bit of a joker, typically exude a calm, relaxed demeanour that at times borders on cocky. He’s young and has had far too many success and not nearly enough failures to temper his arrogance. In fact his greatest failure to date lead to him getting superpowers no deepening his cockiness.

Background/History:The Man on the Wall, the one tasked with waging a shadowy war against the universe, protecting earth from unseen threats by stopping them before they pop up by any means necessary. A job passed down until the mantle fell to Bucky Barnes and his partner Daisy Johnson. But all those near death experiences coupled with the isolation of space lead to a rather shaky relationship, one which was "blessed" with a child. After some deliberation the two decided Daisy should keep the child and return to earth and returning to a job at S.H.I.E.L.D. where as Bucky would continue his mission to protect the earth calling in when he could.

Despite both his parents job roles Nicholas had a reasonably normal upbringing. His dad may have spent most in time in space protecting the earth but lots of kids had parents deployed overseas and serving their country his was just a little farther afield. As for his mother despite the fact her job was at S.H.I.E.L.D. she did her best to be there for her son. Nick also had the added benefit of having Steve Rogers as a Godfather, who was more than happy to step into the role of parent should Bucky or Daisy being unavailable, treating him like one of his own.

Nothing incredibly noteworthy happened during Nicholas's childhood, that's not to say it was dull or boring, oh no. There was plenty of childhood adventures, BBQ's a veritable prank war between him an Ana with him quickly luring James over to his side and deputising him. Of course the pranking began to get difficult as Ana began to be trained with any attempts to prank her typically leaving him with bruise or eating dirt. Determined not to remain defenseless he begged his Mom to allow him to train with both and Mr and Mrs Roger agreeing to train him. He took to it like a fish to water, seemingly having the same natural affinity as his father but even with his raw talent he was always trailing behind Anastasia. He couldn't wait to show his father the next time he returned to earth and was lucky enough to be training with the rogers when his father came in through the door but upon seeing his son's progressing skills Bucky did not respond with pride or the praise Nick had hoped for instead he received a look of horror and his father's commanding voice banning him from training anymore.  He was ready refuse, to argue that it wasn't fair, that he was good at it, that there was nothing wrong with it, that the Rogers let their kids do it. But Steve got their first, attempting to reassure his old friend in that quiet, soothing, reasonable way of his. Sadly it didn't work Bucky only proceed to rip the sleeve from his left arm, brandishing the metal replacement in Steve's face and yelling that he didn't want his son to end up like he did. Nick didn't see the problem, his dad was great but a silence seemed to descend over the adults as the smiling, confident Mr rogers seemed to wilt somewhat. His mother quickly sent him and the 2 rogers children upstairs and they went and sat on the top step, listening to their parents argue below.

Nick was woken the next morning by his father, he apologised for his actions last night, told him he was very impressed by what he could do and was glad it made him happy. He said he would allow him to keep up his training but he had to promise him he wouldn't try to follow in the footsteps of the adults in his life, at least not until he was an adult. Nick happily agreed and Bucky began to add to his training when he was around, teaching him some of the skills he had picked up as the winter soldier.

When he graduated high school he immediately joined the SHIELD academy, entering their field operative training program. He excelled in all aspects of the training, the lessons learned in childhood serving him well and he soon graduated top of his class and began work as a SHIELD operative.

His missions were generally a success giving him a certain amount of confidence that was not helped by how his parents reputation added to his own. His first major failing took place whilst attempting to stop a group  of terrorists who had stolen an unknown biological weapon and had intentions to use it. Nick and his team were unable to stop the the bomb going off but they were able to contain at the cost of Nick trapping himself in with the bomb. When the dust had clear and SHIELD science operatives had deemed the site safe to return to they weren't able to find Nick's body. Instead they found a large cocoon time creation that was currently exhibiting signs of life. As the scientists moved forward to examine it, it cracked open and Nicholas Barnes spilled out onto the ground. It had turned how the biological agent within the bomb was terrigen mist and he was now inhuman.

SWORD immediately stepped in apprehending him and confining him as they they began to test to see just what abilities he had gained and their limits. Upon discovering he was clairvoyant and just what he could do with his gift  and all the training he had received with SHIELD Nick was offered an operative role within SWORD. He agreed happily to continue to do his part. He was given the codename Prophet and tasked with hunting down criminals currently at large.


==The Special Stuff==

Roster Position: Sneak
Powers:
Inhuman Metabolism: Besides strength, Nick possesses certain physical skills superior to those of human athletes. His Inhuman metabolism affords her slightly greater reaction time, endurance, and speed than the human race's most perfect physical specimen, Captain America.

  • Enhanced Strength
  • Enhanced Speed
  • Enhanced Reflexes
  • Enhanced Endurance

Clairvoyance: After being subjected to the Terrigen mists Nicholas gained the the power of Clairvoyance which seems to manifest himself in one of two ways. The first is that SHIELD scientists described as Visual Linking, upon thinking about a certain person Nick is capable of seeing through their eyes, seeing what they are seeing then and now. He can only perceive what they see for example, if the person needed glasses but wasn’t wearing them what Nick saw would be blurred etc. The second version is remote viewing, for this Nick focuses on a place or object and is able to perceive the immediate area in his mind’s eye, when using this ability his powers are not limited by conditions within the area. For example if he chose to perceive a room that was in pitch darkness Nicholas would still be able to perceive the objects within the room, etc. But for Nick to use this power he needs to know the place he is looking for exists, for example he could choose to perceive the room next door even if he has never entered it but he could not perceive the location of his father if he didn’t know where is father was. Since gaining this power Nick has trained hard to find whatever advantage it could possible give him and has trained himself to be able to focus both on what he can see in the real world and what the clairvoyance allows him to see in his mind, being able to concentrate and react to both simultaneously.


Skills:
Master Martial Artist: Trained by Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes from a young age, what else is there to say.

Expert Marksman: He is an extremely accurate marksman. Skilled in sharpshooting and knife throwing.

Skilled Acrobat: He is an Olympic level athlete and acrobat capable of many difficult acrobatic feats.

Advanced Scout: Barnes is a very gifted scout and adept at stealth and concealment.

Expert Spy: Once his father came to terms with the training he was starting to receive Bucky, alongside Daisy started to teach him their specialist fields. He is skilled in stealth, demolitions, survival, deducing other persons ways of thinking and other fields.

Expert Assassin: Trained by the Winter Soldier

Weaknesses:
Protect Innocents:- Nick will protect innocents at any costs, this stems from his new powers of clairvoyance, Nick being forced to watch through his preys eyes as he hunts them and seeing first hand all the evil and damage and lives they take. This desire has lead to some complications in the field with him going without food or sleep at times in hopes of catching the bad guy causing him to pass out at one point.

Guilt:- Nick carries around a deep sense of guilt for all those he "watched" die due to the fact he simply hadn't caught the bad guy yet. This guilt leads to him constantly second guessing himself and reliving his past moments, wondering if there was something he could have done better.

My burdens and mine alone:- He doesn't believe in sharing responsibilities or lightening the load. His  missions our his own, the consequences are his to take and the burdens to carry are his own. The side effect of these traits is that he is not much of a team player, also he tends to hide his own inner turmoil behind a false smile and very flippant behaviour.



Extras:

Zero-Point Energy Shield - Annie may have called dibs on the vibranium shield of Captain America but that doesn't mean Nick would do without. When SWORD sent Nick down the armoury to choose a suitable weapon for his new identity and his eye saw Cap's old energy based replacement shield the choice was made. SWORD performed few upgrades to it, namely changing the Gauntlet to a wristwatch and performing a slightly change in the colour giving it a more muted blue appearance in an attempt to make it less visible for those stealth missions.

Assorted weaponry - Has access to various firearms through SWORD, typically keeps a needle pistol and combat knife on his person at all times.


Costume Description:
Picture

Costume Design - Prohpet's costume is modelled heavily after his father's, all black, tight yet flexible and capable of providing some protection against physical trauma. The white section of the mask functions as a gas mask capable of filtering out various airborne chemicals while the goggles can serve as both infra-red and night vision.

Like I told Shadow somewhere up (or over) there, feel free to put together a character sheet and I can put it in the saved area.

So, when/if the role you want opens up, I'll be able to tag you for it instead of nebulously being like, "I need things!"

==Basics==

Name: Henry Logan Lee
Nicknames:H.L., Patient 23
Aliases:The Wraith
Gender:Male
Sexual Preference:Heterosexual
Relationship Status:Single
Kinks:Bit of a voyeur
Age:23

==Relationships==

Family:Conner Kent (Kon-El)/father, Jubilation Lee/ Mother
Players:

==Description==

Height:5’10
Weight:160 lbs
Physical Description:An average decent looking young man. His blonde hair is kept short. His tone body is only due to his mixed heritage.
Personality Description:Confined to a medical apparatus at the age of 12, Henry has grown up inside his own mind. The tails of his mothers, and her friends, heroics filled his head with the concept of ultimate right and wrong. Not a boy scout but true and pure to his word as well as through his actions. Kind though not jovial Henry sees what he is doing as a dream so he can be a bit campy at times.
Background/History:
Teenagers, especially those with powers have a very difficult time dealing with other teenagers. Thus was true for Jubilation Lee, right till she met Conner Kent. It was a whirlwind courtship that everyone knew could only end badly, even the couple themselves. Still it lasted longer than expected and as too often happens, guards get let down. The revelation that Jubilation was pregnant at what many considered the tender age of 18 did little to help keep the two together. So they parted ways. Conner visiting when he could and doing his best to help provide as Jubilation raised their son.
Henry Logan, named for his mothers dear friend, Lee was born into a world most children couldn’t even dream of. He grew up learning concepts that would give rogue scholars headaches and combat skills from some of the greatest to ever be. Thankfully, in his mothers eyes anyway, he seemed normal. No abilities from either side of the family. He was exceptionally health but other than that, he was a normal kid.
Then the fateful day. While walking home from school Henry noticed a ball roll across the road and just a few steps behind was a child, barely two years of age. The delivery truck didn’t even seem to notice, so Henry sprung into action. Years of tutelage and training taking over before his mind even finished understanding he himself wouldn’t make it. Knocking the child aside Henry was struck with the full brunt of the truck and sent skidding into the gutter.
From that day to this he has resided in an intensive care unit secure wing. On rare occasions he awakens for a few moments and perhaps speaks then slips back into his dream world. When the incidents began something changed in him however. Call it his subconscious, if you want, reacting to what the television was playing in his room but suddenly Henry’s powers were awakened. Lost in his dream world he viewed the world as if a dream and he, the hero to save the day.

==The Special Stuff==

Roster Position:muscle OR magic (?)
Powers:

Astral projection: This is the basis for all of The Wraiths powers. It allows him to appear in the general vicinity of where he is needed. However, due to Henry’s concept of reality he cant do it at will. It simply gets him to the area he wants to be in when he first manifest for that period. After that he must move under “normal” means.

Psychic Construct: The body of The Wraith persona is a psychically created manifestation of Henry’s will. It is incredibly resistant to physical damage. Psychic attacks tend to be weak only due to his incredible willpower, but magic has full effect.

Tactical Telekinesis: Though not the same as his fathers, The Wraith’s tactical telekinesis allows his to manipulate the world as if a flesh and blood person of exceptional strength. He can flip cars ,but not throw them, and rip off doors and the like. (Strength equivalent of Beast)

Flight: Not a speedster in the air by any means, The Wraith can move about as if by levitation, allowing him to move at a speed of about 60 mph.

Skills:Basic Combat training, High school level education, Mutant affairs, Basic computer, Advanced Technology understanding (though not engineering), Security (electronic), medical knowledge.
Weaknesses:Even though The Wraith isn’t physically Henry it is basically his mind out roaming free. As such, if The Wraith were to be destroyed, Henry would die. Also because Henry is basically helpless in a hospital, if someone were to find him he would not be able to defend himself.
Extras:n/a
Costume Description:
A simple male shape made of blue, orange and red energies. Facial features are clear as if Henry himself were made out of blue,orange and red glass.
