The Age of Superheroes is over.  No more are vigilantes allowed to roam the streets on patrol.  Society has its own law enforcers for that, and years of media hounding have made superheroes into villains.  So feared are their powers that they are now regarded as villains, despite their desire for good.  Some have tried to hide their powers, remaining blissfully hidden away from society.  Others have fled to places where they can't be found.  Some work for the government, trading stealth for their protection.  And yet others still try and ply their trade, which is where the SPecial Enforcement, Control, Tracking and REcon (SPECTRE) comes in.

SPECTRE was founded during the Eisenhower administration to investigate the growing number of super villains and to find out how they could best be managed.  Eventually, when superheroes became Persona non Grata, SPECTRE was tasked with maintaining records on all known superheroes, their whereabouts, and if they are engaging in illegal activity.  Most superheroes quietly retired and live in rural areas, but the few that remain outside SPECTRE control become targets for their specialized extraction teams.  These special commandos are infused with temporary superpowers so that they may combat rogue superheroes and villains.

Once captured, many heroes accept a minor sentence working for SPECTRE and are then allowed to resettle and go about their lives.  But some heroes prove more difficult than others, and those that continue to be a problem are sent to Area 12.  Area 12 is known throughout the superhero community as the Guardian Graveyard.  Of all the heroes sent to Area 12, not one has come back.  Rumors abound, and there was even an effort several years ago to try and destroy Area 12, but those that attempted the feat were never seen again.





Fall of the Titans is an idea I've been kicking around since I saw both The Incredibles and The Watchmen.  If the government made a team of agents to hunt superheroes, what would they do, how would they do it, and what would happen to those they catch?  I'm going to play the government agents, but I'm searching for multiple superheroes and villains eager to try and fight back and possibly lose.  The game is rated EX due to torture and violence.  Players are encouraged but not required to work together.  The setting will be in Seattle, Washington, mostly because I want there to be lots of rain for moody dramatic backdrops.

Example Character Sheet:

Name: Rebecca Lawrence
Alias (Supers only): Wraithe
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Status: Super
Registered with SPECTRE: N
If a Super, List Powers:

  • Invisibility - Manipulating light around her body, Wraithe can make it seem as though light passes through her body, reflected on the other side.  It's not perfect, however, meaning there is always a faint shimmer when she moves around, possibly exposing her position.
  • Phase Shift - Adjusting her body on a molecular scale, Wraithe can shift her and anything she is wearing or holding to a secondary dimensional phase, passing through solid objects and walls with ease.  She adjusts the molecules on her feet so that she can maintain contact with the ground, rather than falling through to the center of the Earth.
Brief Bio: Born in Seattle, Wraithe spent much of her life simply being a normal kid until she hit 16.  While walking home from school, she nearly got run over by a car, which she managed to avoid by phase shifting and passing through the car.  She realized she had superpowers, and was super excited.  She tried to tell her parents, but they immediately began yelling at her that she didn't have superpowers and that she'd made it up.  That was her first dose of reality to the world she was now in, and she's since been on the run, trying to stay out of the way and fight crime when she can.

Dark Deception

#1
Real Name: Joseph Miller
Nickname: Joe
Alias: Prodigy
Age: 23
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 225lbs.
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: When the super hero is revved up, his eyes often shift to a burning white that crackle with electricity, but normally, his eyes are brown.
Complexion: Slight tan
Physique: Solid and built for the job
Appearance: Besides his Seattle Police Department uniform, he tends to wear loose clothes: jeans, tanks, jackets, buttoned shirts, etc. Whatever he's seen wearing at the time.
Markings/Accessories: Small tattoo of a split, blue diamond between his shoulder blades.
Alignment: Hero
Weakness: Bad sense of awareness makes him suspectable to easy ambush, one-track mind, and has human weaknesses.
Occupation: Cop
Marital Status: Single
Status: Super
Registered with SPECTRE: N
Children: No
Other Relatives: Dean Miller (Father)
Education: Bachelors in Criminal Justice from Seattle University.
Other Info: A few years studying the French language.

Personality: Joseph's personality is independent and reserved. He grew up with no support from his father or from any friends and has developed a lone-wolf attitude. He is stubborn, but also hard-working. When performing his job as an officer, he can sometimes be reckless, spending a bit of his powers to make catching criminals more quick and effective. He doesn't use a great dose to let everyone know he's a super, but just enough to get him a reputable name in the office. He will always attempt to track down criminals without getting any blood on his hands. Having observed the behavior of the human's around him, he knows they are easily frightened creatures; and if a superman was to ever kill a human or even a villain, it would give supermen an even greater bad name. In summary, Joseph tends to be cold and distances himself from anyone who tries to get close even his own partner.


Powers:
1. Energy manipulation - these powers deal with energy generation, conversion, and manipulation. In addition to generic energy, versions of these powers exist that deal with such things as light, sound, electricity, and nuclear energy (Wiki). Prodigy can draw energy from fire, power lines, and other energy sources, including in a villainous sense, human beings.
2. Amplify - Prodigy's ability to fuel his cells with energy to speed up regenerative processes, rid his body of ailments, and reinforce the toughness of his being to grant his body a physical performance above that of any normal human. This ability grants him superhuman durability to resist small arms fire (pistols, revolvers, bows, crossbows, throwing knives, etc. Anything smaller but no larger) and small explosions (brought by a nade or distanced explosion not point-blank). With his superhuman strength, he so far only knows that he is capable of lifting a vehicle. He hasn't tried any heavier.
3. Flight - propulsion - in order to fly, Prodigy circulates the energy he pulls from different power sources around him and uses it to propel himself through the air. He can however only draw one source of energy at a time. Thus, if he is drawing from fire, he'll have fire until he rids its energy from his body and draws on a differing source. He cannot control two or more forms at the same time.



Before Joseph Miller came to be, his father, Dean Miller, was a police officer in Seattle. On one assignment, he was to investigate an illegal shipment that was supposed to arrive at the port. During a gunfight with smugglers, Dean was pushed into a crate stack that near crushed him flat when it came down. After the smugglers escaped, Dean and his partner searched the cargo for illegal drugs and from the rubble of the shattered crates, Dean discovered a titanium suitcase. Upon opening it, he found an ecstatic object (possibly having been disturbed by the fall) that unleashed a bright flash before winking out of existence. The flash had dazed Dean and made him slightly nauseous and unaware of its true effects on his being. The FBI wasn’t too happy that he had “tampered with evidence,” and submitted him to several rounds of interrogations. When the FBI was left dry, Dean returned home to his wife Charlotte Miller, unaware of the contamination he carried on his being.

It was passed onto Charlotte and during her pregnancy, she was horribly ill and the doctors revealed the harmful dose of radiation that had been bestowed on her. They predicted that the radiation would either deform or kill the baby, and months later, when the baby was to be born, Charlotte died giving birth to a boy she named with her last words Joseph. Joseph was what the doctors thought to be a miracle to science for he came out to be a healthy baby boy; and though Dean was relieved to hear of Joseph’s well-being, he was devastated upon learning of Charlotte’s passing.

Dean cared for Joseph for a few months and during those months he was able to see his boy’s unusual behavior. At three-months-old, Joseph was crawling around and able to recognize his toys. At four-months, he was standing and tottering around, a stage reached too early in a baby’s life. When Dean’s job, taking care of Joseph, and coping with his wife's death were becoming tasks too complicated to maintain, Dean left his son and his memories of Charlotte at an orphanage.

It was there where Joseph spent most of his life, maturing mentally at a rate faster than the other children to the point that seesaw and hide-and-go-seek just weren’t cutting it anymore. He formed new hobbies: painting, teaching himself, trying a musical instrument, and eventually writing stories with correct grammar and spelling. At five-years-old, he was mentioned in the newspaper as boy genius and child prodigy; however, such a title never got him adopted, instead, his fast-paced learning as opposed to the qualities of an ignorant child made him intimidating. At nine-years-old, Joseph acquired an early job at the orphanage—sorting papers and organizing appointments. He saved his money and got a bank account so that when he became eighteen and was dismissed from the orphanage, he could buy an apartment, one in which he bought near the university.

Once he got settled, Joseph curiously sought out his father’s whereabouts and found him with a new family. Dean Miller had moved on and Joseph remained a loner. Distraught over his loss of a family and childhood, it was stress which allowed Joseph to discover a portion of his powers. When walking home from his father’s house, Joseph was spontaneously electrocuted by a trailing volt drawn to him from a power line. The teen was unconscious for several hours before he awoke and returned to his apartment for further rest. When he awoke, Joseph was no longer the man he once knew. Over the years, he experimented with his capabilities and gradually discovered more of his abilities until at the age of twenty-one; he had graduated with a degree in Criminal Justice and went on to following his late father's footsteps, and that is become an officer of the law.


If there's ever anything wrong or anything you don't like, let me know. As for a picture, I'll come back to you on that (never any good pictures now a days). To clarify also, I was having him be a super hero working a civilian job as a police officer but he's keeping a low profile and not running around flaunting his powers everywhere lol.

#2
Name: Elsworth Bateman
Alias: Glutton (Sometimes jokingly referred to as "Biteman")
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Status: Villain
Registered with SPECTRE: N
Powers:
Matter Consumption: Elsworth possesses a very bizarre ability, which he uses to gain access to his secondary and tertiary powers.  Simply put, he is able to consume and digest all forms of matter at rapid speeds, regardless of how dense the material might be; a pound of steel goes down just as easily as a sandwich.  This includes substances that would normally be lethal, such as molten lava or a beam of plasma shot from the hand of a fellow super.  Even heroes that profess to be invulnerable are not immune to the effect, leading to gruesome consequences.  There does not seem to be a limit to how much he can eat, nor does he need to expel waste at regular intervals.

  • Secondary: Upon consuming any sort of matter, the calories are immediately processed into strength.  The more he eats, the more powerful he becomes.  If denied food for a sufficient period of time, he will revert to average human capabilities and degrade from there.
  • Tertiary (Activated at Will): You are what you eat.  If Elsworth so wishes, he can transform his entire body into the last substance he happened to eat, essentially becoming a golem made of that material.  The more of the substance he devours, the longer the effect will last.

Brief Bio:
The life of a villain is not defined by their history.  Barring rare cases, it is not one shaped by their family tree or their parents or their childhood friends.  All the little normal events of their lives are equally unimportant.  What does it matter if they were once a small and brilliant child marked by a refreshing sense of cordiality, eyes wide with wonder at the natural world?  Of what concern is it to us if they frolicked amongst sunlit fields with a pretty young girl, pushing away the thoughts of filth and corruption and suffocating pollution back home until there was nothing left but her face surrounded by flowers and blue skies?  Why should we care that, on a brilliantly sunny day much like that one so long ago, they prostrated themselves before a beautiful young woman with a ring in hand, and she said 'Yes'?  Should we weep when gazing back in time and witnessing the birth of a child, and the look of unparalleled contentment on the man's face?  It does not help us to understand who they are, only who they were, and who they were means nothing now, least of all to them.

What matters is the moment, the singular moment that changed everything, forever.  What matters is that, while working on a project that would streamline waste disposal on a global scale, something went terribly wrong.  The treatment that would have allowed a humble pig to solve the world's garbage problems was instead inflicted upon the very researcher that had begun the project in the first place, transforming him into something wholly abominable, and utterly insatiable.  The GENeco Research Center was almost completely consumed in the resulting disaster, the researcher gone and a path of devastation in his wake. 

Hunger can play wicked tricks on a man's mind, force him to do unconscionable things.  A starving man is often surprised by just what they are willing to eat when that hideous burning and aching in their gullet becomes too much to bear.  And sometimes, when that dark and uncontrollable desire overwhelms the senses, the things we love the most become nothing more than prey.

Ever since that horrid day, Elsworth has been wandering the globe in search of sustenance, and a peace of mind that always seems just out of reach.  He has come into conflict with both law enforcement, superheroes, and even some villains over the years, and killed a good deal of them in the process.  He has never gone out of his way to harm others, but will do nearly anything in order to survive.  The surest sign of his presence in an area is unexplained property damage; he seems to have developed a particular taste for the support beams in buildings.  On several occasions he has been contracted for more heroic purposes, eating bombs and doomsday devices in equal measure, but his crimes are far too grave at this point to warrant any sort of pardon.


Occupation: Unemployed.  Formally a scientist in the employ of GENeco's R&D Branch.
Marital Status: Widower
Children: Isabella Bateman (Deceased)
Other Relatives: None
Personality:
Weary politeness, a feeble attempt at normalcy that often falls dreadfully flat.  When especially hungry he will appear scatterbrained and jittery, often losing his train of thought before hastily attempting to correct himself.  In spite of his unconsciously dreary nature, Elsworth seems to genuinely enjoy the company of others and will attempt to brighten up around friends and strangers alike. 

Only when he is threatened do some of his more villainous traits show through, particularly if he is famished at the time of the encounter.  He tends to refrain from actually eating people, and will only attempt to resort to such measures in times of extreme desperation.  Elsworth fights like a frightened dog, running away to collect himself before coming back for another strike instead of straight-up brawling.  It makes him an unpredictable and frustrating opponent, particularly for those used to fighting boisterous and self-assured ne'er-do-wells.

Distinguishing Features: Elsworth typically dresses in formal attire regardless of the situation or environment, though the clothing is often ill-kempt, dirty, and hangs loosely on his withered frame.  His perpetual hunger has left him a slight and frail man, and an air of loss and aimlessness hangs about him like a funeral shawl.  It is a rare thing indeed to find him without some form of food on hand.  In these days of heightened security, he tends to prefer actual food, rather than munching openly on twigs or plate glass.

Name:  Cassandra D'Arque
Alias (Supers only): Oracle
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Status: Superhero
Registered with SPECTRE: N
If a Super, List Powers: Clairvoyance/Remote Viewing- She can see events taking place in the present through visions. While having one of these visions, though, she is vulnerable until it is over, unable to hear, see, etc. anything taking place in reality. Sometimes she can see things at a distance close up, like she is seeing it through a telescope or binoculars. She is able to control the remote viewing to a degree, though it is draining, but her clairvoyance seems to be triggered randomly.

Precognition- Through dreams or visions she may see the future. However, it is subjective. Some of the visions may not happen and she doesn't have the context. She has no way of directing the Sight or controlling when it happens or what she sees except through scrying after a ritual to purify the room and her spirit.

Retrocognition- Through dreams or visions she may see the past. Again, she doesn't have the context and the visions seem to be random.

Psychometry- By touching something with her bare hands, she gets a complete download of the object's history.

Clairsentience- Highly sensitive to the world around her, she is able to sense the emotions of others but not affect them. She knows when someone is lying. She gets hunches or feelings that turn out to be accurate, though maybe not the way she or others expect. Perhaps they are effects of her other gifts but sometimes she has premonitions of what the immediate future holds and can get a sense for the history of an area. She is an uncannily good guesser and seems lucky.

Eidetic Memory- Cassandra's brain seems to be able to store the things she sees so she'll never forget.

Shield- Her mind isn't impenetrable but it's going to give whoever is trying to sift through it a major headache. And no one but her can pull those memories of things she's seen out.

Brief Bio: Cassandra D'Arque was born to Henry D'Arque III, the owner of D'Arque Industries, a company that manufactured supplies for the medical and scientific community. He inherited it from his father, who had inherited it from his father who had built it from the ground up after starting with only ten dollars to his name upon his immigration. Her mother, Elizabeth was from an old, once powerful family that had fallen on hard times.

It was actually a love match and it broke Henry's heart when Elizabeth died in childbirth. He never remarried. And truth be told, he was a little disappointed that she'd given him a daughter. However, Cassandra got every luxury money could afford. Nothing was too good for Henry's future heir.

The dreams and seeings started when she was about five. Her father kept her extremely sheltered and the staff got huge raises to keep her eccentricities quiet. The media wondered why the child was never seen and there were all sorts of vicious rumors tossed around. Cassandra hasn't told anyone the truth about any of the allegations. Private tutors replaced the nannies at that point. She rarely saw her father.

Years passed. Things didn't get better and there was nothing she could do, no one she could talk to about the things she saw. It was a heavy burden on the young girl who had learned quickly not to share the things she saw or learned. At least she could wear gloves... As she continued to grow up, she grew more and more fed up with her father's protectiveness.

At the age of 14, she'd never once left the grounds of her family's estate. There was a world out there she wanted to see, be a part of, and she wasn't able to. She never could manage to get past the security to run away either. Of course that same security kept out the media.

Henry finally allowed her some modicum of freedom when she was 16, taking her on business trips and basically letting her go wherever she wanted... but not unescorted of course. Photographs of the girl were rare and highly prized. Her strange fits meant she needed someone there to make sure no one tried to steal from her or anything when she was out of it.

By the time she was 18, she had about two years of college credit under her belt. Cassandra was accepted into MIT. Much to her father's chagrin, she joined Alpha Phi. The paparazzi respected her privacy... to a degree. On campus meant she was off limits but otherwise... Unlike some of her sorority sisters, she focused on her studies and getting involved on campus rather than having a good time. She graduated magna cum laude two years later.

No one had figured out about her gifts, though it wasn't hard to know there was something different about her. The gloves and sunglasses were a fashion statement as far as the rest of the world was concerned. Her father told her of his diagnosis shortly after she started working towards her MBA. He had lung cancer and wasn't expected to live much longer. So it would be up to her to take over the company. Cassandra wasn't sure that was what she wanted but something made her agree.

After finishing her program, her father retired after helping her assume control. Thankfully the transition was smooth and Cassandra found herself enjoying her work. There was more media attention on one of the world's youngest and most influential CEOs than ever. Years of practice had given her some tricks to steer others away from the truth.

Her father passed away about four months ago, right about the time she decided to open a new plant in Seattle, WA. Cassandra never got the chance to tell him she was pregnant and no one else knows yet either. She moved to Washington to oversee the opening and such, make sure everything was in order with the port. This is about the time the Oracle appeared, delivering information and pointing people in the right direction. She's young, successful, and wealthy, owner and overseer of a company with a stellar reputation. But what the future holds isn't something even she is certain of.


Occupation: CEO/President of D'Arque Industries
Marital Status: Single
Children: Expecting twins
Other Relatives: Father- Henry D'Arque III, deceased
                                 Mother- Elizabeth D'Arque, deceased
Personality: Cassandra comes across as a very sophisticated, charismatic woman. And she is. She is intelligent, well-traveled, and has a good sense of humor. However, there is something very odd about her. The woman has strange fits at random intervals and she seems to have a hard time relating to certain things. Most are willing to forgive her her quirks those though, as she is pleasant enough.

She never has been like the others. Her gifts mean she is privy to information she shouldn't be. It meant she had to grow up very quickly. Cassandra is good at playing the part, being whatever she feels she needs to be, and putting up a front but under the polished veneer is a woman who has never seen the world around her the way others do and never will. This means there is a disconnect between her and reality.

A philanthropist and patron of the arts, she's known for being very generous with her vast resources. She is altruistic and compassionate, willing to do whatever she can to help her fellow man. After all, you've only got one life to live and she doesn't want to waste a minute of it.

There is something frenetic about her energy. She doesn't do anything by halves. Strong-willed and determined, she'll do what she's set out to do. No matter what. The public knows her as a generous woman who is a passionate advocate for all sorts of good causes. Her peers know her as an eccentric, urbane blueblood. The truth? Only she knows. Underneath the warmth is a coldness. No longer a believer in the basic goodness of mankind, she's cynical, Machiavellian, and ruthlessly practical and efficient. The end justifies the means every time in her book.

The Oracle is a mysterious figure that no one knows much about. Only a very few know how to get a hold of the Oracle, who at least one step ahead of anyone wanting to find out who she really is. Her aid is not for sale. Usually she's on the side of the good guys and doing what she can to see that people have the information they need to make the world a better place. It's the usually part that is concerning...

Distinguishing Features: Cassandra is rarely, if ever, without a pair of sunglasses or gloves. For fancy occasions she may forgo the glasses but never the gloves. There is a birthmark on her left hip that looks like a sunburst. Her pregnancy is also starting to show.

Height: 5 ft
Weight: Normally 105 lbs
Eye/Hair Color: Black/Hazel
Education: Private tutoring through high school, attended MIT, graduated magna cum laude after two years thanks to IB and AP classes, went on to get MBA from MIT SLOAN School of Management
Other Info: Cassandra has no offensive abilities and has all the weaknesses of a human. However, could she harness her abilities...

My bio is changing some.  I've talked with wintersmelody and we've agreed to have my character be involved with her.



Name: James Black
Alias): Wolf
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Status:Super
Registered with SPECTRE: N
If a Super, List Powers:
(side note I picture him as kind of a mix between worlverine with no claws and no indestructable skeleton and captain america, that should give you an idea of what he can do.)
Regenerative healing factor - His cellular regeneration is off the chart.  Broken bones and wound healing in minutes.  Doesn’t get sick and ages slowly.
Super human senses - All of his senses are heightened giving him greater awareness of the world around him, like a wolf.
Super human strength -  Now he is no superman, but he is stronger than you're average human.  Can lift with some difficulty small vehicles over his head and even throw them a short distance.
Super human speed -  Again he isn't the flash or someone like superman, he is just faster than your average human.  He's about as fast as a wolf or a jungle cat.
Super human reflexes - It probably has alot to do with the fact that he has more of an awareness of the world around him thanks to his senses but he is able to react quickly.  He can still be taken by surprise or react wrong but he has a little more warning than most.
Super human agility -  He can't dodge bullets, and you can hit him with a punch or anything else in a fight.  Basically he has the flexibility of a gymnist.  He can flip forward or backwards an he has good balance.
Super human Stamina - Fatigue catches up to us all but because his body is in such good shape it takes longer for it to really take its toll on him.


Brief Bio: James was born to two loving parents who worked hard and we’re moderately well off financially.   They weren’t precisely what you would call rich but they we’re wealthy enough to provide a good life for their family.  Even from a very young James parents knew that something was different about their son.  He never got sick and wounds that he received healed over instantly.  He was also moderately stronger than your average child.  As he continued to grow they observed him noticing that he was also moderately faster and had better reflexes as well.

Despite what he could do James had a relatively normal live growing up.  He went to school, had friends, girl friends, and was involved in after school activities including Martial arts training.  He started with karate and moved on to judo in high school to the present has been training in kung fu.

When James was 14 James started dating one of the girls in his class.  Her name was Amanda Reed.  They had been freinds all the way up through elementary and was beginning to develop into something.  The two of them we're nearly inseperable and always seemed to be together.  They we're absolutely in love with each other.  She became the first person outside his parents that he shared his secret with.  That conversation had been scary for him.  He feared that she would be afraid of him, and call him a freak.  She didn't, she was of course shocked by the revelation but it didn't change anything for her.  He was still the same person she had always known and loved.  It seemed a sure thing that they would get married one day.  Until the fateful night when he was 16 that his life changed.  It was a dark and rainy night and the two of them had gone out to see a movie.  The hour was late 11 o'clock and the winding road was dark.  As they rounded one of the bends in the road a car travelling in the wrong lane rammed into them.  pushing them off a short embankment.  The car rolled and settled on its top.  Both of them we're seriously wounded, but James didn't stay that way for long.  His healing factor kicked in immediately and his wounds quckly started to mend.  As soon as he was able to he unfastened his safety belt and went over to Amanda.  She was alive but only just.  He helped her out of the car and held her in his arms as he called for help.  She held on for nearly an hour until the EMT's arrived but on the way to the hospital her life flickered and died in his arms. 

James was devastated by her death and he focused much of his final two years of high school on his work.  He became a social outcast not really interacting with anybody unless he had to.  He didn't participate in any afterschool activities accept his physical training.  He spent alot of time in the gym aftershool or disiplining himself with matial arts.  Upon graduating high school with very good grades, James was accepted at MIT and he welcomed the chance to go somewhere else.  There we're too many reminders of her here.  The distance did help.  His outlook on life improved and he started to move on with his life.  He was bright and intelligent and focused hard on his studies, and involved himself with the goings on of campus.  He graduated four years later with his MSIT and decided to look up an an old aquaintance from MIT Cassandra D'Arque, for a job.  They had been in a few classes together and had developed a friendship.  In college he adopted the alias of Wolf and began patrolling the area around campus wanting to protect the people around the campus.  He didn't have much action but he did take down a few petty criminals in his time theire  It was kind of fun and he was careful not to protect his anonymity

He was hired on very quickly  and has been a part of the company for the last two years.  Since coming back together he has rekindled his friendship with Cassandra, and for him at least it has grown past friendship.  He loves her more than he thought possible after Amanda.  When her father died he accompanied her to the funeral.   

Occupation: Employed by D'Arque Industries.  (need to talk to writersmelody about exact position)
Marital Status: Single
Children:
Other Relatives: Margaret Black (mother), David Black (father)
Personality: James has never completely gotten over the death of Amanda, and he probably will never truely forget her.  Still he has begun to move on with his life.  He has dated a few girls since then, and is currently in love with his employeer

Very single minded some people might call it obsessive.  When he is doing something he prefers to devote his full attention to it believing that if you can't put yourself fully into something it isn't really worth doing  He doesn’t do anything halfway.  He's either in or out

He has a strong sense of justice.  Right and wrong are very important to him, and has been known to take matters into his own hand from time to time.

He has a very strong sense of loyalty to the people he cares about,  putting their wants and needs ahead of his own.  He would take a bullet for any of his friends though that probably has more to do with the fact that he knows he’ll be able to get back up afterwards

He is always looking to improve himself be it his mind or his body.

He is always cautious about doing anything that might draw attention to himself as a super.  Though he could with some effort he doesn't go hurling small vehicles at his enemies, though he always seems to know more than anyone else

Distinguishing Features: none
Height: 6’1
Weight: 200 lbs
Eye/Hair Color: Blue eyes /Chocolate brown hair
Education: Graduate from MIT
Other Info: He is very well rounded physically and mentally.  He is a jack of many trades, master of very few.  The one area he could be considered a Master is his physical training. He knows how to take care of himself in a fight.  Though it is true that he doesn't really know how to shoot a gun or anything like that.

Those are all fine conditions.  My character is faster and has better reflexes than a normal human but he's no flash.  As for his healing factor.  I imagine if you cut off his head he would indeed die as well.  its probably the most sure fire way to kill him.  That or blow him to tiny bits.  A bullet to the brain would probably do it to though it might just scamble his brains.  if their are any other limitations you would like me to include by all means let me know.

Name: Tiffany Sheppard
Alias (Supers only): Shadow
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Status: Villain
Registered with SPECTRE: N
If a Super, List Powers:
Shadow walk- can telaport from point A to point B, but as long as there is a clear line from there to here covered in darkness. Any light breaking the path will make her come out where the light is and she can only go a few feet.

Shadow manipulation- she can create illusions or even small creatures out of shadows but the bigger or the more she tries to create the harder it is to keep it from falling apart. All shadow creations tend to fall apart after a couple of minuets.

Brief Bio: I suppose there should be some sad tale, some shocking revelation that would tell how Shadow became the bad girl that is , why she avoids light and all the good within it. . To hear her say it though, Bad girls have more fun. Her father had been an honest man working all his life as a janitor, while her mother tried to take care of her and her sister. They were living in poverty. Her mother had gotten ill while her and her sister where still young and without any way to pay for a doctor she died. So Tiffany grew up quick and tough taking care of her sister and getting money whoever she could which was either picking pockets, or raiding houses as she was too young to get a job. Her father never asked where the extra money came from and she never told him. It would have broke his honest heart.

She was also born different she always had a bit of an aversion to the sun, and even as a little child. She would put on elaborate shadow puppet shows to entertain her sister.  Was she born with her gifts? This girl will never tell.
Occupation: thief
Marital Status: Single
Children: none
Other Relatives:Erick Sheppard father ( currently not speaking) Elizabeth Sheppard mother ( deceased)
Arin Sheppard her little sister and greatest weakness.
Personality: Tiffany is playful and likes to flirt but behind that she is a very shielded person. She acts as though she is cold and careless, but around her little sister she is very caring. She would give the world for her if she could just figure out how to steal it.
Distinguishing Features: Tiffany is always seen in some sort of Gothic apparel usually in a dress or a skirt. If she comes out in the day light she usually has on a pair of sunglasses , not that she needs them.
Height:5'2
Weight: 100 pounds
Eye/Hair Color: black, black
Education: She never even graduated high school though she did attempt to attend for a bit. Survival was a bit more important then education, but don't be fooled into thinking she  is stupid just because of her lack of formal schooling.
Other Info: Tiffany knows how to pick a lock, and is very quick and agile. She knows a bit of martial arts as well, most of her thieving doesn't even involve her powers.

Name: Eric LeReaux
Alias (Supers only): Phantom
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Marital Status: Single

Status: Resistance
Education: Has bounced through many schools, colleges, private tutors, and even Spectre programs
Occupation: Ex-SpECTRe Operative, Vigilante
Registered with SPECTRE: Y
If a Super, List Powers: Cybernetic Enhancements - Phantom has amazing vision, able to zoom his vision in and out, see in night vision or infrared, and capable of catching incredibly minute movements. In addition, his enhancements allow him to make minute changes to his skin pigment, eye color, and hair color, among other things. This allows him to disguise himself rather quickly (on top of his training with makeup, hairdressing, and wigs, to allow him a greater range of 'characters'). While not superhuman, his strength, speed, and vitality, are also top notch.

Cybernetic Mod - Phantom's most useful tool allows him to connect into objects and alter data. This is not a particularly subtle trick, as wires, antenna, and connectors may protrude from him. If he is alone, he can manipulate camera feeds to stop people from noticing, but if he is being watched, he cannot hide his mod. Once connected (which takes time), he can enter commands, hack, and override in the time it takes him to think and the computer to respond.

Phasing - An experimental ability given to him through a eugenics program. Phantom can pass through solid objects, however, he can never be completely inside something solid. He must still be touching a solid object to propel himself. So to pass through a wall, his hand must reach the other side so that he can make it solid and pull himself through. On occasion, he can jump through an object, using Newton's First Law, however, he is usually incapacitated after such an action. Phantom cannot phase other creatures, but he can phase objects with less mass and weight that he holds firmly or wears.

Training - While not a power, Phantom is well trained in many areas. Notably, due to his eyes, his is a skilled marksman, and has taken a few guns from Sp.E.C.T.Re. His favorite is his 'Dragon' (SVD Dragunov), a custom sniper rifle made for him.

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 159lb.
Eye/Hair Color: Unknown, variable
Distinguishing Features:
His eyes have a strange glint, and makes barely noticeable mechanical sounds (audible by those with super-aural abilities).
Eric is a master of disguise, and blends well into crowds, however, he does  have several important objects (his disguise kit, his Dragon, other guns), which he hides in vacant, difficult to access areas using his phasing.
Brief Bio: Eric has always been very unique, though most of his past is not well known. His family was poor, and forced to bounce from home to home, which drew attention to Eric. He had always kept himself educated, even as a child, through books and computers, and even games. His notable intelligence became noticeable after having several different tests at many schools. He was offered scholarships to private schools, which he spent time at, before he was forced to move on by various circumstances and his parents' whimsical desires.

When he was young, his parents worked for the D'Arque family from about the age of 6-10, the longest he may have ever stayed in one place. He made friends with the daughter of the D'Arque family, a girl who was 4 years younger than he. After her she began to have oracular dreams, she became distanced, and when Eric attempted to get closer to her again, Henry D'Arque fired his family and shipped them away.

When Eric was 12, his parents were killed during a mugging, and Eric was put into an orphanage. He did not stay there long, before he was snatched up by an Special Operations organization called 'ProtoTypE'. Eric was 'upgraded' with prototypical cybernetics and eugenics to give him powers. Before he was able to perform an operation (or even really learn what he was a part of) the organization was shut down for experimentation with extrahuman enhancements.

Eric was given a large sum to disappear, and he used his training to blend into different parts of society.
He has used it to learn more about others with abilities, occasionally changing his identity to move onto another life.

He used his powers to alter his identity to be hired as a 'tutor' for Cassandra D'Arque for a time, giving her a method by which she could always contact him. He has infiltrated her home often since then and she is one of the few constant companions in Phantom's life. She is the only person who knows him as Eric, instead of Phantom.

Eric was eventually caught by Sp.E.C.T.Re, and recruited. After learning that some of his superiors from his ProtoTypE were involved in Sp.E.C.T.Re, he began to look into them. After discovering the 'mugging' that killed his parents, was actually done by an undercover agent (which he was forced to capture one of his superiors to learn), he killed one of the men involved and hid evidence. He took on one last operation with Sp.E.C.T.Re and helped the target go underground, before going MIA himself.

After evidence arose about Eric killing his superior, he was quickly declared AWOL and  has been hunted since.

Phantom is difficult to hunt, as he knows how the Sp.E.C.T.Re's work, and has been trained to avoid them. He has used his various skills to evade and hunt SpECTRe agents for about a year now.

If anyone wants to get involved in Phantom's backstory, particularly as the character he helped go underground, send me a PM.

(Edit: I've changed my status, and added a little to and clarified Eric's background.)

I think my character may adopt that option later. Right now, I think because he's a police officer he's kind of a traitor to his own kind if the police encounter super criminals that his unit would alert SPECTRE and all that. I know that he wouldn't alert SPECTRE but his partner would. v_v

Mhina


(She looks like this except with fewer skulls)
Name: Sami Laine
Alias: Cartographer
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Status: Super (inactive)
Registered: N
Powers:
Mapping: Sami has the ability to create a mental map of anything within her sphere of influence, including people and places. Using this she can track people within a certain location, if she needs to find them or avoid being found by them. Allows her to recognize supers that enter her space unless they are specifically capable of masking their presence (Let me know what you think a reasonable range is).
Guide: She can communicate with people within her map range, allowing her to guide them or keep track of their status. Because of this, she most often worked with other supers.
Maze: As long as they are within her area, Sami can create a maze that forces anyone she chooses to follow a set path that she has created within her space (the path is non-linear, so it is just like a maze). However, she can't move as long as this power is in effect, and in order for it to work she must herself be somewhere within the maze (the maze does not create physical boundaries, anyone not affected can move freely, however, those trapped will not be able to escape unless they find Sami or she releases the ability).

Bio: Raised in Portland, her parents discovered her abilities when they realized that as long as something was in their house Sami could find it. She wasn't aware of anything herself until she was nearly thirteen, when she began to realize that she could always find whoever and whatever she was looking for without any trouble. Once she knew she was special, she spent hours trying to develop her powers, eventually leading to her other abilities manifesting. Although she wanted to be a hero, her first attempt almost ended in disaster when she was caught by the criminal she had trapped. She was rescued by another Super, and afterwards teamed up with them, realizing that her powers did not lend themselves well to actually capturing people. One year after, when she was 16, she and her mentor ran afoul of SPECTRE, forcing the two to split up and putting Sami on SPECTRE's radar. Now, She has fled North to Seattle in an attempt to avoid being captured by the SPECTRE forces in her hometown.

Occupation: Unemployed
Marital status: Single
Children: None
Other Relatives: Marta Laine (Mother) Gabriel Laine (Father) James Laine (Brother, age 24)
Personality: Friendly and easy to get along with, though a bit paranoid recently. Logical thought processes, but not always good when it comes to thinking quickly.

Height: 5'5
Weight: 125 lb
Education: High School

"Alright... My ability is not shapeshifting, just minor cosmetic changes, (eye color, hair color), plus some skills at mundane disguising. So, I'm not sure if your phrasing is just a thought for future players, or directed at me? I won't use that ability in RP until you give me some confirmation."

The reason is for future reference to players because I have been getting character requests for shapeshifters and SPECTRE agents.  The reason I'm not allowing shape shifting as a power is because it's too easy to say "Oh, I can turn into a fly and just buzz around when I'm about to be caught."  And SPECTRE, as I've told others, is something only I will control for the time being.  You are allowed to cut your hair, grow a beard, etc. to try and mask your appearance, but you can't just turn into the opposite sex or into an animal.

Name: Tori Dankin
Alias (Supers only): Mr. Mysterious
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Status: Villain(Super-powered individual seeking to use their powers for personal gain)
Registered with SPECTRE: Y

If a Super, List Powers:
  Chaos Sorcery - Tori manipulates reality based on the laws of probabilities. He works on the assumption that anything is possible, if unlikely, and alters reality accordingly by manipulating those probabilities. The more difficult, or unlikely that an event is, the harder it is for him to alter it. Causing a car to blow out a tire and veer into a wall or another super is far more likely then a car appearing in the air above someone and falling on them. Tori must keep track of both realities, and the more that he alters that reality, the more difficult it becomes for him to keep track of it. Theoretically, there is almost no limit to what he could accomplish, so long as he is willing to devote the time and energy into altering the necessary probabilities.
   Mental Clarity - Because of the necessity to keep track of probabilities, the two realities he is working with, and the various information needed, Tori's brain has expanded its capacity. He can track multiple streams of information, monitor probabilities, and is very nearly a human calculator. Much like a computer however, the more files that Tori keeps the harder it becomes for him to access that information. In general, average use of his powers and the associated information intake would require him to spend a full day "defragging" his brain in order to prevent overload or slowdown.

I'm interested in this as well. I was thinking of playing some version of "The Shield" from my superheroine list.  I say some version because the way she is now wouldn't work with the setting.  I'm more thinking her powers may come from a different source, possibly limiting them more, or whatever really needs to be done to get her working for the game to your tastes.

I'm up for discussing it here or in PM's.  Also, click here for the lists of superheroines that I have.  It's rather lengthy or I'd post it here.  One of the versions I've been thinking of makes her a good bit older, putting her as a military experiment from World War II, but due to said experiment, she hasn't aged a day.

Also, will there be rape in this game?

GloomCookie

Looking at The Shield from your list, I'm going to say no.  Every character must be able to die or get hurt, because I don't want supermen and women running around.  What's there to fear from normal humans if you can't be taken down?

And yes, there will be rape.  Just look at the first IC post of the game and you'll see that.
My DeviantArt

Ons and Offs Updated 9 October 2022

Darwishi

She can both die and get hurt.  ^_^  She just can't by a bullet or a blade.  She can still drown, or have poison tossed down her throat.  She can suffocate as well.  I was also thinking of limiting her to just her gadgets and her unbreakable ability.  That pretty much leaves her a normal human except for the fact that bullets won't kill her.  Still hurt like hell though.  It also means she could be hit over the head with a double fist, a two-by-four, or bat, or any number of things and get knocked out. 

I like the unbreakable aspect because it means she can be tossed off a rooftop an not die, but get knocked out, or tossed down a flight of stairs, or punched and kicked or tazered like any normal human being.

But if you're still not sold on it I think Spider-Girl or Epoch (would have to flesh Epoch out, I didn't realize how little I put down for her) or Sunbeam might be good candidates.

Crovonovin

I actually don't think that that ability is particularly overpowered, Linna, so long as it's explained in more manageable terms.  I take unbreakable to mean that her bones are essentially invulnerable like Wolverine's.  Unlike him however, her organs and skin are still quite vulnerable.  Ultimately her power to shrug off bullets and blades alike is comparable to Grendel from Beowulf, who could not be harmed by any metal.  Of course, we all know what happened to him.

Cool.  Is that full-power or just the unbreakable ability?  I'm cool either way I just need to know how to write up the profile, and I'll definitely go into more detail on her weaknesses.

Only the unbreakable.  I'd prefer everyone just focus on having one main power, sort of like the Xmen.  That'll make it easier to plan ways to bring you all down.

<The first two paragraphs here are just a little ranting, skip down if you want to go straight to the point.>

"Yes, this is the issue with super heroes, where genre comes into play. Marvel plays with genre a lot, mixing Black Bolt with Scarlet Witch with Wolverine with Captain America, all of whom are on very different levels. Personally, I dislike the 'Paragon' style (using the term from Mutants and Masterminds), Superman types. More than that, I especially find that when you blend super powers with outright magic, you get Dr. Strange and Scarlet Witch, who have the power to do whatever the hell the writers decide works for the plot. After a while Deus ex Machina becomes Dr. Strange ex Machina."

"Then there are the superheroes that reflect something more like Heroes or X-Men. While both eventually got tied up in the storylines of characters who were way to powerful (and nonsensical in the methods by which their powers worked... How do your genes grant you the ability to control weather?), if you stripped away the Phoenixes and Wolverines, you mostly had kids with blossoming powers that were impressive, dangerous, but manageable."

"Okay, sorry, rant, my point is, I hope not to see 'Reality Benders' and over-the-top superheroes with costumes and a 'Fortress of Solitude'. Just my 22 cents (I can never just give 2)."

"Also, note, I'm not targeting. Darwishi and Archivist seem to be perfectly accommodating, I just want to say it clearly in case we see 'Superman' and 'Dr. Strange' style entries in the future."

Darwishi

Name: Alexandria Powers
Alias (Supers only): The Shield
Age: 34 (looks 25)
Gender: Female
Status:  Resistance (Super-powered individual intending to actively engage SPECTRE)
Registered with SPECTRE: N
If a Super, List Powers: Unbreakable.  Her bones, organs (including skin), and muscles are all unable to be broken/ripped/or penetrated. 
Skills:
Hand-to-hand Combat: Alex is trained in Krav Maga and Bushido from her time in the military.  Her time spent with Olivia has taught her a bit more about street fighting as well.
Lock Picking: Alex can pick old fashioned locks (from early century and even before) to more modern locks.
Marksmanship: Due to her time in the military she's an excellent shot with a rifle or hand gun.  Due to her training with Olivia she's also become an excellent shot with the wrist shooters and throwing the shield.
Equipment:
Superheroine Costume:  Being Olivia's old costume, The Shield costume is a more modern version of the same nano-fiber suit that Alex wore back in Afghanistan.  It appears, on the surface, to be a spandex material, but is extremely hard to rip, and there doesn't appear to be any zippers on it to take it off.  Olivia had to have ways of shrugging off bullets since she's not quite as resilient as Alexandria.  Basically it comes down to a suit that's just as resilient as Alexandria, it doesn't offer any extra protection for her.
Wrist Shooters- Along each of her wrists are three shields that resemble the large one she carries on her right arm.  Each of the miniature shields are about the size of a sand dollar.  They can be shot and ricocheted off of a wall or a car, the force is meant only to feel like someone of normal, but strong, strength hitting them with their fist.  The triggers for these are on her hands, and she has back up mini-shields on her boots, but it takes time to reload.
Shield- Her shield is her most valuable weapon.  It's made of a super strong alloy able to withstand impacts from bullets and blades alike.  It dampens electricity and radiation attacks.  Plus it can be thrown to ricochet and take out multiple targets with a single throw.  Thrown correctly and her shield will come back to her.
Lock-Pick Kit- She has four of these kits hidden on her person.  Two are in her gloves on her suit, not in the gauntlets that house the wrist shooters.  There are also two on either boot, hidden in the thick sole.  With a series of specific pressure activated points it will come loose and allow her to access the blades and the lock picks hidden there. 
Small Blades- There are small thin blades hidden in her gloves like the lock picks, and also there are small blades in the kits on the soles of her boots.  Where she can pick the locks of handcuffs or locks on a cell door with the lock picks, she can cut through rope or zip ties that bind victims with the blades.

Weaknesses:
Sensitivity: While she's unbreakable, this doesn't mean she can't feel anything.  In fact her nerves are a little more sensitive than they used to be.  Nerves get worn down by wear and tear on the normal human body, given that hers can no longer have wear and tear, or normal stresses her nerves don't get worn down.  This only makes her sense of touch slightly more sensitive.
Blunt Force: Due to her extra sensitivity she's actually more susceptible to pain than even a normal human might.  Punches, kicks, baseball bats, chains, etc.  all feel painful even if they won't leave lasting damage on her body.  A kick to the crotch still feels like a kick to the crotch and will make it near impossible to focus on anything else.  A good punch to the back of the skull will still daze her, or even possibly knock her out.  The difference is that if she gets tossed off the space needle she won't go splat at the bottom, just be knocked out for a good few hours. 

Bullets and blades are also considered blunt force against her.  Bullets may bounce off of her, but with it's small surface area, it hurts far more than anything else she's ever experienced.  They also pack enough "punch" that they can knock her off her feet, or drive the wind from her.  Similarly blades don't cut, but the tiny surface area makes it hurt like bitch.  Almost like getting sliced open without the mess of blood and guts.  While it means she can endure far worse than a normal human...it's also a double-edged sword.  Torture is far worse for her.
Need to Breathe: She has to breathe still.  Hit her in the gut hard enough and it'll drive the air from her lungs.  Shove her face down in a pool of water and she'll drown.  Stuff a pillow over her face and she'll suffocate.
Drugs/Poison: Drugs and poisons still affect her in much the same way as a normal human.  The only way to administer said drugs that won't work is through injection (syringes and darts).  However a cream laced with drugs will be soaked into her skin.  If someone's cum were to have an adverse reaction through super powers, a simple rope across her butt would still soak into her suit, then into her skin.  She can also be taken out with gasses, be it mace, teargas, knock out gas, or a simple chloroform soaked rag. 
Suit: Despite appearances the suit does have a zipper, but it requires feeling for it rather than to see it on sight.  Feeling with bare fingers across her back will reveal a barely-there ridge that when lifted will reveal a zipper that will pull down to the small of her back.   Also when the suit gets wet from the inside it becomes stretchy in that area.  If Alex is sexed up to the point of getting wet, it means someone could thrust up inside of her.  An orgasm may wet her far enough back to be ass raped.  This weakness in the suit's design isn't known to Alex or Olivia.  It would have to be stumbled upon by accident.

Brief Bio: Alexandria Powers was born to a loving mother and father way back on September 22, 1982.   Back then she never imagined she'd be where she is today, in the year 2079 and only 34 years old. 

In the year 2001 she joined the military and quickly proved to be one of the most physical women that the army had ever come across.  Many thought she might be the first woman allowed to be in the Rangers, but she never quite made it that far.  She was assigned to a bomb squad after disarming a simple bomb with very little experience in the field.  After training her group became known for disarming road-side bombs in Afghanistan. 

Due to their recognitions they were rewarded with testing out a new nanofiber alloy that had been sewn both into their bomb-squad gear, but also were given skin-tight suits made of the same stuff.  While the armor had been extremely expensive, the creators were convinced the military would buy it up like hotcakes.  Alex's squad were the first to test it out since they often had to go into situations without much in the way of guns, had to concentrate in the middle of a fight, and ultimately had to put their lives on the line far more than their fellow soldiers.  One wrong move and they wouldn't only blow themselves up, but their entire squad and possibly more.

The alloy itself never really had a name that anyone with an IQ below 160 could pronounce.  Alex started calling it, unofficially, flex steel, due to the skin-tight suits that looked and flexed like spandex, but the ability to stop a bullet, or a shard from a grenade in it's tracks.  Ultimately the suits would have worked, the company would have made billions, and the war on terror would have probably ended much faster.

However in 2008, shortly after Alex's squad received their "presents" from the U.S. Government they ran into a bomb specifically designed for them.  It was a pretty routine call in of a road-side bomb.  They arrived in their bulky armor, then things started getting hairy.  Her team soon realized it was a far more complex bomb than they'd seen before.  Alex made her way over, and quickly assessed that it was a nuke.  She made the order to fall back, but before she could finish her sentence, the bomb exploded in her face.

When the woke up she was in a world she didn't recognize.  The woman taking care of her said she'd found Alex nude in her living room after coming home one morning.  Olivia Martin decided not to completely freak out, but to instead nurse the girl back to health. 

As best as Olivia and Alex could piece together, the nuclear blast so close actually split Alex's body into a molecular state, fusing every cubic inch of her body with the nano-fibers that had been there to protect her.  Olivia had been in her late forties when she found Alex old enough to be the girl's mother.

When Olivia had been in her late teens and early twenties she'd been a superheroine herself.  Using her abilities (super agility and reflexes) to avoid SPECTRE and save people from themselves.  She'd been an active member resisting the change that America had been going through yet as her body began to age, she also found that she hadn't been quite as agile as before, she couldn't dodge a bullet anymore, and she definitely wanted a family before she got to be too old.  She hung up her tights and cape in trade for finding someone that she loves and started a family.  Her own daughters aren't but a few years younger than Alex when Olivia found her.

It had taken about a year for Alex to get adjusted to everything, and to get caught up on about sixty years of history that she'd missed.  The stories she heard from Olivia, the things she witnessed on the news.  Things weren't good in 2008, but they weren't bad either.  Not this bad, not this kind of government, not in America.  She also had to get a new identity (same as her old one, all of her family and friends had been dead for a few years at best, at worst several decades, no one would remember her face).  They had to get papers for her, a job, and some way to spend her time.

Only after that year did she ask about fighting against SPECTRE.  Olivia had been wary at first, she didn't want to throw some young woman into the throes of battle without proper caution.  However as Alex persisted, Olivia finally relented and began training Alex in modern street fighting techniques, how to pick modern locks, and how to handle the shield and wrist shooters from her old suit.

After eight years, The Shield would live again, it had been nearly three decades since the red, white, and blue heroine had retired from a rather infamous pedestal in SPECTRE's eyes.  Before, when Olivia had worn the suit, she became an icon pretty quickly.  Something for people to believe in.  However her decision to live to fight another day, her decision to ultimately start a family of her own, put the Shield on ice.  At the time she thought forever, now she thinks that Alex might be even better

It wasn't until The Shield recently saved an older woman that had gotten herself into trouble with some local criminals that she realized this impact.  The line of "You haven't aged a day" hit the now 34 year old hard.  She had big boots to fill and hope to instill in a great many people.  This is not the way America is supposed to be, she's just got to remind everyone of the foundations of this once-great country. 

The underground news circuits are beginning to become saturated with rumors of a superheroine willing to put on the tights, willing to wear the colors of red, white, and blue and fight back.  However, for now they're just rumors, she has a long and nearly impossible fight ahead of her...at least impossible without some help.

Occupation: Professional artist.  She does portraits mostly to help out with the bills, but also does painting in her free time, some she sells for a hefty profit.
Marital Status: Single
Children: none
Other Relatives: Olivia Hillary Martin.  She's not a blood relative, but it's the closest she has in 2079 to a mother figure.
Personality: Strong, willful, determined, persistent are some very good qualities to have in a person.  She's a smart woman with the determination to learn things that she doesn't know.  Alex is very passionate about the way the country used to be, and everything she learns about SPECTRE makes her want to take it down more and more.  Occasionally she comes off a little haughty, and a little bitchy, due to wanting nothing more than to complete the mission.  However she's learning to curb it a little bit, offering smiles and reassurances to those that she saves.  An attempt at being friendly.  No one is going to follow someone that they don't like (not through respect anyway).  Alex realizes she has to embody both aspects of what she believes America to be.  Strong and undying, but also that sense of being courteous and helping thy neighbor and doing what's right.
Distinguishing Features: She has a U.S. Army tattoo on her left shoulder blade, a long, four-inch scar along her right, outer thigh, plus a small scar above her left brow, though it's mostly faded.
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 205 lbs, she would be 185 lbs if her body hadn't fused with the nano-fibers.
Build: She's extremely athletic, curvy enough to still hold her feminine features, yet with muscles fit of a pro-athlete.  Muscle does way more than fat, after all.
Eye Color: Piercing blue.
Hair Color: Sandy blonde.
Education: High School diploma.  Military experience. IQ 146
Other Info: Alex still lives with Olivia in Seattle, Washington and trains with her every day.  Despite wanting to move out, Olivia is possibly the only person more stubborn than Alex and won't allow her to leave.  Alex insists that she's putting Olivia in danger, but no danger than Olivia hasn't been in before.  Plus even with her papers being real enough to get a job, if Alex strikes out too much on her own, Olivia is afraid that Alex will be discovered of not being whom she says she is.  Under it all, Alex still views Olivia as the only family she has in this time period, and Olivia cares for Alex like her own daughter.

Archivist

Here's my second attempt to re-write my idea and move it away from the realm of the mystical. Let me know what you think.. if it's still not workable, I'll probably abandon it in favor of something simpler.

  Probability Manipulation - Tori can alter the probability of an existing event, either making it more likely or less likely to occur. This commonly manifests as "good luck" for himself and "bad luck" for his opponents. He cannot alter events unless they are in his line of sight, and unless they directly affect him it is unlikely that the "luck" will hold. For example, if a car is about to hit him it may suddenly have a blow-out that causes it to veer to the left and miss Tori completely, however if the car was just driving down the road then Tori would be unlikely to cause the same blow-out.
   Mental Clarity - Because of his constant work with probabilities of events and the unconscious mental calculations involved in altering them, Tori's brain has expanded its capacity. He can track multiple streams of information, monitor probabilities, and is very nearly a human calculator. Much like a computer however, the more files that Tori keeps the harder it becomes for him to access that information. In general, average use of his powers and the associated information intake would require him to spend a full day "defragging" his brain in order to prevent overload or slowdown.

Alias (Supers only): Obsidian
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Status: Resistance(Super-powered individual intending to actively engage SPECTRE)
     
Registered with SPECTRE: N
If a Super, List Powers: Obsidian got her name from the dark telekinetic powers she wields. She is able to move objects with her mind, propelled by the black energy encasing the particular object. She is able to heal shallow wounds, but that takes up a great deal of her energy. Her dark energy can be both combative and protective. She can form energy shields but it lasts only for a few seconds. She has to concentrate fully with her mind, and thus will be vulnerable if her mind is distracted/blocked. She has a weak physical strength due to complacency that her mental powers can save herself.

Brief Bio: Allison is a college student by day, and a vigilante by night. Sent a thousand kilometers from her home to a foreign country to study on a scholarship awarded to her , she does not communicate back home that regularly. Allison discovered her powers mainly by accident and decided to help mankind by slipping off in the dead of the night to watch over the students of her college and sometimes, even further into the city. There were rumours spreading around the school about SPECTRE and it's goal, but that does not stop Allison from using her powers for greater good.

Name:  Sam Finn

Alias (Supers only):  Forge

Age:  29

Gender: Male

Status:  Resistance

Registered with SPECTRE: No.

If a Super, List Powers:
Weapon, Armor and tool manifestation: One of his abilities allows him to create armor and weapons from the implanted nanomachines in his body.  The weapons and tools are limited, nothing that can fire a projectile can be created (guns, bows, crossbows and rifles)  Swords, maces, axes, wrenches, hammers and so on. The armor he makes can not regenerate itself once it had been damaged, regenerating takes to much focus and who can really do that when you are being shot at.

Nano boosts:  Along with his forging ability, Sam also has small increases to all attributes, while they are not super human they do make him a bit more formidible to fight than a normal human.

Weaknesses  Like all things, Forge's Nanomachines have a weakness, High pitched frequencies will disrupt the Nano's programing and cause them to malfunction.  Ten seconds of this will render Sam unconscious, twenty will begin destroying the Nano's, anything past that may kill both him and the Nanomachines.

Brief Bio:  Sam grew up in San Diego California living with his adopted parents, Steve and Michelle Finn.  He has no record of whom his biological parents actually are, only that he was born with a gift.  His gift lets him create different types of weapons, ranging from the black ages of Europe to Ancient Japan.  This undoubtedly got him into a lot of trouble, along with being told to never use them again.  For as much trouble as he gave people, he was a decent student, graduating from high school on time and then attending UCSB to study biological engineering.  His powers still work in full, as he found out during his senior year in collage, a raid hit the school like lightning.  Students ran, some stood and fought with abilities unlike Sam could ever imagine.  Never did he imagine that being so different would be so wrong, something had to be done... But could he do it on his own?

Occupation: Mechanic (never finished his degree)

Marital Status: Single

Children: None

Other Relatives: All are presumed deceased

Personality: With what he as seen, Sam tends to be laid back and does not jump into a confrontation quickly.  Known to assess the situation and to get second opinions often.  He tries to avoid leading anything for fear of getting people killed.

Distinguishing Features:  Nano's allow Sam to change his eye color with his moods... Normally they are a grayish color.

Eye/Hair Color: Brown hair, Eyes are normally gray, but depend on his mood.

Equipment:
Superheroine Costume:  Being Olivia's old costume, The Shield costume is a more modern version of the same nano-fiber suit that Alex wore back in Afghanistan.  It appears, on the surface, to be a spandex material, but is extremely hard to rip, and there doesn't appear to be any zippers on it to take it off.  Olivia had to have ways of shrugging off bullets since she's not quite as resilient as Alexandria.  Basically it comes down to a suit that's just as resilient as Alexandria, it doesn't offer any extra protection for her.
Wrist Shooters- Along each of her wrists are three shields that resemble the large one she carries on her right arm.  Each of the miniature shields are about the size of a sand dollar.  They can be shot and ricocheted off of a wall or a car, the force is meant only to feel like someone of normal, but strong, strength hitting them with their fist.  The triggers for these are on her hands, and she has back up mini-shields on her boots, but it takes time to reload.
Shield- Her shield is her most valuable weapon.  It's made of a super strong alloy able to withstand impacts from bullets and blades alike.  It dampens electricity and radiation attacks.  Plus it can be thrown to ricochet and take out multiple targets with a single throw.  Thrown correctly and her shield will come back to her.
Lock-Pick Kit- She has four of these kits hidden on her person.  Two are in her gloves on her suit, not in the gauntlets that house the wrist shooters.  There are also two on either boot, hidden in the thick sole.  With a series of specific pressure activated points it will come loose and allow her to access the blades and the lock picks hidden there. 
Small Blades- There are small thin blades hidden in her gloves like the lock picks, and also there are small blades in the kits on the soles of her boots.  Where she can pick the locks of handcuffs or locks on a cell door with the lock picks, she can cut through rope or zip ties that bind victims with the blades.

The Shield needs work.  I don't like the idea of your suit being super strong, nor your shield.  While future materials might be stronger, why wouldn't SPECTRE or the military have these alloys?  Even if The Shield developed them on her own, it would require quite a few resources that I don't see someone trying to keep a low profile as having.

Also, the suit... her suit is vulnerable to getting wet from the inside.  I'm sorry hun, but you do actually sweat, and that bit of moisture means your uniform is going to shred in an instant.  Combined with the uh... sexual nature you seem to want to include, I can't let you have the suit.  It's way too flamboyant for someone trying to evade the military.

If a Super, List Powers:
  Chaos Sorcery - Tori manipulates reality based on the laws of probabilities. He works on the assumption that anything is possible, if unlikely, and alters reality accordingly by manipulating those probabilities. The more difficult, or unlikely that an event is, the harder it is for him to alter it. Causing a car to blow out a tire and veer into a wall or another super is far more likely then a car appearing in the air above someone and falling on them. Tori must keep track of both realities, and the more that he alters that reality, the more difficult it becomes for him to keep track of it. Theoretically, there is almost no limit to what he could accomplish, so long as he is willing to devote the time and energy into altering the necessary probabilities.
   Mental Clarity - Because of the necessity to keep track of probabilities, the two realities he is working with, and the various information needed, Tori's brain has expanded its capacity. He can track multiple streams of information, monitor probabilities, and is very nearly a human calculator. Much like a computer however, the more files that Tori keeps the harder it becomes for him to access that information. In general, average use of his powers and the associated information intake would require him to spend a full day "defragging" his brain in order to prevent overload or slowdown.

Alright, I actually don't have a problem with the suit or shield not being super strong.  I was thinking, for the suit, that if it came down to a rape scenario that she could be feasibly raped through her costume since I'm not a huge fan of ripped up costumes.  But I can part with it, not a huge deal.  As for the way the suit looks, I was under the impression that it was supposed to be a similar game (though not exactly like, obviously) the Watchmen.  In that there were going to be factions that fought against SPECTRE, rather than playing out the normalcy of day-to-day life.

You'd mentioned (or I thought you did) that the local police were looking for something to believe in, as was your average citizen.  I thought someone dressing up in something similar to the American flag might do that.  Especially in a distraction kind of scheme where she might try drawing fire just by showing up.  If that's not what the game is supposed to be, just let me know.  Wouldn't be the first time I completely misunderstood the concept of a game.

Archivist, you're approved.

Darwishi, the point of the game is living in fear of the government and fighting back, but I didn't ask for anyone to pose as a sort of martyr.  Especially since the game will take many twists and turns, and often adapt on the fly.  Like having the entire military go on alert because one super is linked to the SPECTRE information network.

Ah ha. Okay, hmm.  Well the power is approved still, right?  I'll just think up something a little more inconspicuous for costume....and background and stuff. XD  Same kind of character, I thiiiink, but I may use the picture below as a reference.

I'm thinking of branching the RP off into pieces if anyone wants to partner up.  It'll be easier to control the action instead of bouncing around with everyone's posts.

That sounds like a good idea.

And welcome to all the new players! If anyone is interested in a connection with my character- Cassandra, aka the Oracle- please send me a PM!

Dark Deception

I rather just let things naturally happen in character. To me, it makes things seem more unpredictable as opposed to predictable. Sometimes, predictability can be very boring. So, if my character doesn't pair up with anyone, or more sensibly, encounter anyone other than someone he wants to put in jail, then he just won't be paired with anyone. So far, I won't even know if he'll live for that to even matter. I may be making several super heroes if that's the case (as they die IC).


Currently involved in: 6 role plays

Darwishi

Name: Taylor Fairchild
Alias (Supers only): Cheat
Age/DOB: 21/ February 3, 2058
Gender: Female
Status: Resistance (Super-powered individual intending to actively engage SPECTRE)
Registered with SPECTRE: No
If a Super, List Powers: Duplication.  Taylor can duplicate any inanimate object within thirty feet of her that is smaller than house cat.  She can also place these duplications in space.  Within five feet of her center mass she can do it with pin-point accuracy. 

Skills: She's excellent in hand-to-hand combat and quite ruthless, plus she's an excellent marksman able to hit targets precisely where she wants from up to three-hundred feet away with a pistol. Finally she knows how to put take apart, clean, and put several kinds of pistols and rifles back together. 

Equipment: Taylor always has a lock pick hidden away on her person, often on the interior pocket of a jacket.  She also carries a Glock .45 on her person at all times.

Brief Bio: Julia and Max Fairchild always strove to raise their child correctly with good morals and a good understanding of both how the world is and how it used to be.  Both of Taylor's parents were cops for their adult lives, having both entered the academy together, become partners then fell in love.  Maxwell brought his marksmanship and knowledge of weapons to the table, Julia her expert knowledge on many forms of hand-to-hand combat and tactical know-how.  All of which was passed on to Taylor from just about the time she could walk to just a couple of years ago.  Both of her parents had been very strong willed and very capable police officers, however they were by no means invincible. 

Two years ago they were both gunned down while having their "date night" and leaving Taylor to take care of the dog.  The terrible news came and then the world kept moving.  The life insurance policies went to Taylor which could easily support her for years to come. 

Now Taylor has found a niche for herself fighting against SPECTRE where she can.  Which often include surveillance and not much else.  She's never taken them on directly, knowing full well that even with body armor that it wouldn't take much for them to scoop her up and send her off.  She needs to make connections, though in the meantime she keeps putting herself in dangerous situations always taking the wrong alleyway home to lure the badguys out.  A bubble butt on a cute white girl that is also rather small?  Well there's nothing that could be juicier bait.  Which is exactly what she counts on when she does such things.  The groups of men often come out on the worse side of things either winding up dead, paralyzed, or with enough broken bones to keep them in the hospital for weeks.
Occupation: None.
Marital Status: Single
Children: None
Other Relatives: Julia and Maxwell Fairchild (mother and father) both deceased.
Personality: On a mission against SPECTRE she's all business all the time.  She knows one little slip up could mean a one-way ticket to Area 12 or death.  Though if she's fighting against some street punks she's a little more light hearted about it.  Still very serious, yet she's more likely to smile at the thought of a challenging fight or odds greater than ten to one.  She's a little sarcastic, and if she's not doing either of the previous two, she's going to flirt a little bit.
Distinguishing Features: None.
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 136 lbs.
Build: Athletic, lean, but strong muscles.
Eye/Hair Color: Green eyes with dark auburn hair.
Education: GED. She dropped out of high school when she was fifteen and got her GED instead of finishing.  She's done a year of college but can't get into the swing of things.
Other Info:

Darwishi.  You are approved on the following conditions:

Pistols are short-range weapons.  You are not getting 100-yard accuracy with a pistol.  A rifle, maybe, after you take the time to carefully aim.  No marksman can hit something that far away on the fly.  So if you want to hit anything, you'd better do your aiming right.

Your duplication may only work if the object is stationary, and temporary.  You may only have one duplicated object at a time, and if you change objects or it leaves your thirty foot sphere, it dissolves into nothing.  When you create your duplicate, it must be stationary.

Alright, knew the marksman thing might be a bit of a stretch. So that's fine. 

As for duplication, I made it smaller than a house cat for a pretty specific reason.  She's called Cheat because she pretty much only ever duplicates guns and bullets (all while stationary, that's not a problem).  So basically she never runs out of bullets so that's the only problem I might have with it disappearing outside of her thirty-foot range or a one-at-a-time object.  I was really trying to limit her with the size thing, though, not like she's going to be duplicating any cars or rifles any time soon.

Kiric Rand



Name: Walter Winters (Walt)
Alias): Livewire
Age: 18
Gender: M
Status: Super
Registered with SPECTRE: N
If a Super, List Powers:
Bioelectric manipulation: Walt was born with a genetic mutation that causes hit body to produce excess bioelectricity. While still learning how to harness it, he is currently able to project short to mid range bolts of electricity and to genreate a weak shield of electricity.
Electric Immunity: Due to his mutation and an accident as a child, Walt's body had been rendered immune to electric damage of any kind.
Short range magnetic field: By altering his electric output, Walt can generate a small magnetic field that he can use to pull small metallic objects toward him (Mostly small, handheld objects.)

Brief Bio:  Walt was born to a pretty high social status. His mother is a well known opera singer, and his father is a commander in SPECTRE. However, Walt was born with a genetic mutation. His nerves constantly firing, producing an excess amount of electrocute. His body has produced several organs specifically designed to hold the excess electrical energy. As a young teen, he was hanging out with his friends when they dared him to break into an electrial station. Accepting, he sneaked in, but tripped and fell into the main grid. Sending enough electricity through his body to kill most living creatures, Walt emerged with only a scar and his hair prematurely whitened. His body had absorbed all the energy and saved him.
However, Knowing his father worked for SPECTRE, he had to keep this incident a secrete. This task became increasingly harder as he began to learn how to control the massive amount of energy flowing through his body. Thus, he adopted the guise of Livewire, resisting SPECTRE and avoiding it by being closer to it than anyone.

Occupation: Student
Marital Status: Single
Children: None
Other Relatives: Emily Winters (Mother); Jacob Winters (Father); Robert Winters (Brother)
Personality: (As Walt) Quiet, Reserved. (As Livewire) Boastful, confident.

Distinguishing Features: Scar above right eye, White hair (Part of his body's reaction to his accident)
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 185 lb
Eye/Hair Color: Green
Education: High School Degree
Other Info: Having an inside connection to SPECTRE, he has been able to avoid their attempts to capture him, even though his father, mother, and brother know nothing about his alter ego.

Flying High or Falling Fast (O/Os)My Ideas! A/A updated 2/11/15

Urbanzorro

Ok....so I actually had three different ideas that each demanded to be written up so I did ;D. I'm perfectly happy to play any one of them so I'm asking which if any of these would fit in best?



Name: Arthur Lancaster
Alias (Supers only): Power Man
Age: 45 (appears to be in late 20's)
Gender: Male
Status: Villain
Registered with SPECTRE: No
Brief Bio:
Arthur's father was Uther Lancaster, the original “Power Man,” and his mother was “Lady Light,” both of whom were rather popular heroes in their time who chose to retire before the animosity against heroes formed. It seemed as if Arthur was set up to have a normal childhood. But that was not the case….when Arthur was only 6 years old one of his parents’ enemies, of which there were many,  chose to exact his revenge and in a single night made Arthur into an orphan. With no other family to take him in Arthur became a ward of the state. And as his powers began to manifest the young boy found himself unable to fit in with the other children at any orphanage he was placed in. At the age of 17 he left the orphanage in order to pursue ‘the family business.’

As a hero he maintained a secret identity, and served his city faithfully.  His secret identity was very much the secondary portion of his life. He had no wife, no child, few friends; he was not Arthur Lancaster who dressed up as Power Man to fight crime. He was Power Man who dressed as Arthur Lancaster when he was not fighting crime. The driving force behind his service to his city was simply the love of the people. Growing up without a real family and with few friends Arthur had never known much if any praise before he donned his cape and costume. But as Power Man everyone in the city was behind him, they loved him, he was a hero!

And when the tide of public opinion began to turn against superheroes Power Man was one of the heroes who took it the hardest. He could not understand why the very citizens he put his life on the line for had betrayed him. He could not cope with the jeers, and boos that his name now attracted. He could not….and would not submit to being treated that way by the ungrateful masses. Something within him changed, he began to care less and less about the people he had once loved more than life itself. He began to see his abilities as gifts that should be used for HIS benefit. And it was not long before he turned his back on being a hero, and chose a darker path….

Powers:
Power Cells: Arthur's body is different from a 'normal' humans on a cellular level. He possesses the same cells as any normal human would but in addition to these he possesses cells that act as generators for his body producing an excess of energy which manifests itself in several different powers. 
Flight: The energy constantly flowing through his veins means that Arthur has a constantly high potential energy, one of the easiest things for him to do is convert this potential energy into kinetic energy which he uses to propel himself through the air. 
Superior Physique : All of Arthur's cells are saturated with energy allowing them to last longer and work harder than they ever should. This means that Arthur is quite a bit stronger and tougher than the average human being. (I'm thinking strength/toughness normally sitting around the level of Captain America)
Discharge: Arthur is able to expel the energy in his body in the form of electrical energy which blasts from his hands. But this ability is not perfect while Arthur is able to aim these blasts of lighting they still behave like lighting and have a tendency to swerve off course if they pass a strong enough conductor before their intended target.
Overcharge: Arthur's power is strongly linked to his emotional state as he becomes more angered his cells begin to produce more energy and his strength and the strength of his powers increases. (I'm thinking strength/toughness topping out somewhere along the lines of Mr. Incredible)
Overload: Should Arthur ever become truly enraged his cells' energy production has the potential to greatly outstrip his energy consumption. To the point that his body is unable to contain the amounts of energy coursing though his body and he begins to lose the ability to control the discharge electrical energy from his body. In short he is unable to stop electricity from lashing out at any conductor around him until his energy levels are once again at a containable state.
Occupation: Professional Criminal
Marital Status: Single
Children: None
Other Relatives: Deceased
Personality: Arthur has always had a reserved and controlled personality, he has always viewed his powers as more of a curse than a gift due to the fact that they force him to be outcast from the vast majority of humanity. For his time as a hero he forced himself to keep his emotions constantly in check but now he is just beginning to explore what 'letting go' feels like.
Education: High school degree & some college.
Other Info:





Name: Jacob Whitecloud
Alias (Supers only): None
Age: Unknown(Appears mid 20's)
Gender: Male
Status: Resistance
Registered with SPECTRE: No
If a Super, List Powers:
The Old Ways: Jacob believes that his powers originate from his people's customs and his strict adherence to the ancient laws and customs of his people earning him the respect and patronage of the spirits around him. There are several scientific explanations for his abilities though without examining his body they can never truly become anything more than theories
Spirit Sight: Jacob possesses the ability to see the 'spirits' of other life forms allowing him to pick them out in the dark, at a distance, and even when blindfolded. Most scientists agree that he does this the same way a shark can sense the electrical current that runs though another animal's body. 
Spirit Warriors: Jacob believes that he is able to capture the soul of those enemies whom he defeats in one on one combat. He does this by taking a 'trophy' from their body. He believes that as long as he has said 'trophy' he is able to command their spirit which is trapped on earth and unable to go on to what lies after death until he has freed them. This practice is considered a punishment for the spirit of any human being and as such Jacob rarely captures the soul of a man or woman for fear of angering the spirits who grant him his powers. Some theories as to how he is able to create these apparitions range from manipulation of light waves to latent telekinetic abilities. He currently possesses two spirit warriors; The Wolf which is the long dead spirit of the first predatory animal Jacob ever killed with his bow. And The Gunman: which is the spirit of a human being which takes the form of a Confederate States of America field officer. Whether this is simply a shape Jacob gives said 'spirit' or it is really a confederate soldier is unknown.
Spirit Search: Jacob is able to gain knowledge from those he kills he believes it is from searching their souls for the desired information. The best scientific explanation is that his brain is somehow capable of copying the synaptic pathways of others after they have become inert.
Soul Eater: Upon the death of an enemy Jacob believes that he is able to absorb a portion of their power and life force into himself. In doing so he feels that it allows him to live a longer healthier life. He credits this ability as the reason he does not age. It is unknown whether this is an actual ability or simply a falsehood that his mind has created.
Weapons: Jacob carries a number of weapons which he uses to defend himself:
Composite Bow: Using a modern version of his ancestor's original weapons of choice is the closest Jacob will allow himself to come to using a firearm. He has been known to use several different forms of arrows ranging from explosive tipped, to armor piercing, to poisoned.
Hunting Knife: Jacob's secondary close combat weapon is a very sharp hunting knife perfect for silent kills.
Tomahawk: His close combat weapon of choice Jacob is very skilled and hard to defeat when using his tomahawk and hunting knife together.
Brief Bio: Jacob claims to be an immortal who is hundreds of years old, he claims to have been born before the European colonization of the new world and to have lived his way through history every since. Whether these claims are true, lies, or simply an indicator of his lack of a grip on reality is unconfirmed. What is confirmed is that Jacob is a man of native American descent,  practices  and believes in his people's "old ways,"  and possesses 'super powers' which he tends to use for personal gain.
Occupation: Professional Criminal.
Marital Status: Single
Children: None
Other Relatives: Deceased
Personality: Jacob is a proud quite man, he speaks only when he feels something needs to be said. He is quite vindictive and has a tendency to seek revenge against anyone he feels has crossed him.
Education: Unknown.
Other Info:





Name: Maximilian Arturo 
Alias (Supers only): Fearmonger
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Status: Villain
Registered with SPECTRE: No
If a Super, List Powers: (Note: Powers must be reasonable)

Beyond Genius Level Intellect: Maximilian was born with a natural potential for knowledge that can best be described as 'super human' this is credited to his brain, which seems to operate much more efficiently than most human brains.

Photographic Memory: Max possesses a photographic memory everything he sees, hears, or reads he remembers with perfect clarity.

Natural calculation: Max can unerringly solve logic, math based problems, and determine probabilities without the use of tools, where as others solving the same problem would be unable to without the use of computers.

Instinctual Invention: Max has a near instinctual knowledge of how to design and build extremely advanced machines and weapons. He can mentally envision every part of his intended creation before he even picks up a single tool. This allows him to create his unique equipment and weapons.

Equipment:

Full Armor: A suit of powered body armor that Max constructed for himself. It offers him a high level of protection from most conventional forms of attack, as well as providing him with immunity to chemical based weapons. It also houses the ammunition his weapons

Claw: A large glove and wrist bracer which Max wears on his left hand. Each of the glove's fingers end in razor sharp blades. Each blade is capable of being coated with one of several chemical substances. The claw is connected to his armor and receives said chemicals from the storage tanks on Max's back.

Hybrid Rifle Using his mastery of all forms of science Max has designed and built, what for him is, the perfect weapon. The hybrid rifle is a combination of a sniper rifle  which fires armor piercing rounds and a chemical/flame projection system which is fueled by the tanks on his back and capable of firing any of the substances held within.

Chemical Tank: Max's chemical tank is a large unit stored on his back, it holds several different chemicals which are combined inside the tank before being used to fuel Max's weapons. This means that until they are being fired the chemicals inside his tanks are non-volatile and he is able to in effect carry several different chemicals at once.
- Napalm= Max uses this combination to wield his hybrid rifle as a powerful flame thrower
- VX-303= Based off of VX nerve gas VX-303 is a chemical of Max's own creation. It is an aerosol gas, when it is inhaled, VX-303 causes the pain receptors of the human body to fire making the subject experience extreme pain without ever suffering any physical damage.
- Hallucinogen = Another chemical creation of Max's this hallucinogen reacts differently with every subject it is introduced to. The subject can experience altered perceptions of reality, witness the fulfillment of their greatest desires, or their worst fears. The only constant is that the hallucinations are almost inseparable from reality until the gas wears off. The hallucinogen can be delivered as a gas or directly into the bloodstream as a liquid with the second option creating a more powerful effect.
- Molecular Acid= A highly corrosive acid which Max uses to literally melt away obstacles...and enemies. 

Brief Bio: Born the son of a highly successful stock broker, who was in fact a multi-millionaire,  Maximilian lived a life of privilege. Even from his youngest days his parents knew there was something special about their boy, he was so smart! To the outside viewer Max had a near perfect life, but what those on the outside didn't know was that Max hated his mother and father. He hated them for their lack of intelligence, for the fact that as long as they were in the way he would never reach his full potential they were in his eyes little more than ants standing in the way of an intellectual giant with their insistence that he only be promoted so many grades so quickly. When he was 11 years old, both of Max's parents died in a mysterious car crash. The boy showed little grief at their funeral, most people chalked it up to his being in shock. By age 13 Max had already graduated high school and was working on his first degree, by age 16 he had obtained degrees in chemistry, physics, engineering, and mathematics. Now at age 23 he has a PhD. in chemistry, and physics. He lives a comfortable life off of the money amassed by his father and wants for nothing. He works at the local college, as a professor of Ontology and Cosmology, as well as entry level Chemistry.
Occupation: College Professor
Marital Status: Single
Children: None
Other Relatives: Deceased
Personality:  Max looks down on the common man, seeing them as barely worth considering. He is very much a sociopath caring nothing for any harm he does. He enjoys experimenting on people, watching how they react to different situations. Particularly fear and ecstasy he uses his money to fuel his criminal carrier which he commits simply for the fun of it.
Education: Several College Degrees.

Good to know! Now to find a way to worm myself into the story ;D....also With respect to his Spirit Warriors would you mind if it were possible over the course of the story for him to take on one or two other spirits? I'm thinking maybe low level NPCs or animals (obviously there would be some limit on the number of spirits he could have).
