Infamy [Freeform, small group (6 max), Villains, Ex] - Recruitment Open for 1.

[Kokaine]

Infamy

They say its the victors who write history. Well, this story is ours. I won't call it the beginning, because, who really knows when it began, when we began. But in the future, when its all said and done and they have no one else to blame but themselves... they'll look back on all this, they'll remember, they had a chance. Chances upon chances really. And they failed. Every. Single. One.

This is essentially an origin story. We all know about heroes and how they are sometimes born or sometimes made, sometimes they seek glory and sometimes shit just happens to them. But this isn't about them. This is about the other kids. The ones that can't or don't always make the "right" choices, or who don't even have an option to chose. The ones with ideas that aren't so bright and pretty...



So basically I am wanting to write an almost slice-of-life story about 4-6 powered young adults all intertwined and trying to survive. I'm looking for grit, grime, and street level realness. I'm looking for characters that feel like real people--they love, laugh, bleed, cry, or at least try--but for whatever reason they end up on 'the wrong path'.

While this is not set in a particular universe, I am leaning toward a world where powered individuals are rare but real. And for this story, characters would not be the super over powered instant bad ass types.

As a group their catalyst will be when the government tries to round them up so they can throw them away and pretend they don't exist but personal motives are yours to create.

Romance and smut are totally fine if they happen. Not gonna bother with percentages as I'm cool with going where the story takes us.

Do note that this game will likely be in the extreme section to cover violence and gore.

Characters should all be preferably human, or at least humaniod in appearance. You can take inspiration for power-sets from marvel or dc but be reasonable. Being able to beat up everyone all the time and win every fight is not the point. These characters WILL lose somewhere along the way, probably more than once.



What I am looking for:
~3-5 others who enjoy world building and contributing to the story.
~Characters aged 19-25, moderate to low level powers (no planet killers, please).
~Players who can deal with a relaxed pace (one post a week minimum in the main chapter thread is the goal, more if possible, but I cannot guarantee daily posting and I don't want poking or guilt trips or people trying to skip others).
~I would ideally like to be able to have a group discord for plotting and such

Feel free to express interest here or ask questions.
Character sheets will be very bare bones so I will take a peek at your posts. Quality always outweighs quantity but I'd prefer writers who can write at least a solid two paragraphs.
Ideally there will be a main chapter thread for scenes to do with the over arching plot but a few side threads for small scenes/character development. The idea is for these characters to become a tight knit group.

Character Creation

~Players are allow one (1) character. Side characters or NPCs may be allowed at some point but for now just focus on your one brain baby.
~Images may be real people or realistic art, no anime or cartoon-y images please.
~Connections to other characters are encouraged! The characters should be interconnected given our setup here so please feel free to make significant others, family, best friends, rivals, or whatever strikes you. Shared history is awesome!
~Power sets may overlap, but should not be duplicates (unless deliberately plotted to be so).
~This is your character, make someone you will have fun with. If you ask me what the group needs my answer will be "nothing".
~Keep in mind there are consequences for IC actions. Yes, these are not intended to be good guys but if you make a character who openly carves people up like a serial killer right out the gate you may have difficulties.
~Have fun!

[Totoro]

Hey! Absolutely love this idea and would love to participate. You know I'm happy to contribute to worldbuilding. Also happy with discord and a relaxed post rate.

[Foxy DeVille]

Very much interested. I've had a hankering to be a low level baddie for a while now.

[virtualblue]

I'm interested.

I get the street-level theme, but are there any powersets you plan on disallowing? Also, was everyone created by the same event (mutation, experiment, etc), or are all of the usual suspects for gaining superpowers available?

blue

[Wyatt]

I am interested, maybe a sandboxy thread for character interaction and development and the one story teller thread with a relaxed paste.  I would love to hear more (-:

[Nowherewoman]

Potential interest. Need to churn character ideas, though, be sure I can come up with something low level enough.

[Kokaine]

Hey all! Happy to see some interest crop up!

I've added the character sheet in my first post so that those that wish to can start poking away at character ideas. It shouldn't feel like anything too intensive but should still let you give a good snapshot of your character for the rest of us. It's meant to be a starting point to build from so don't worry about knowing any and everything about your character from day 1. I really want this RP to be character focused so I'm expecting growth and change anyhow.

As for the questions and comments that have popped up so far...

World wise I am envisioning an AU that's similar enough to contemporary times. Set in 2027. Covid happened, the world changed a little on the social front, but for the most part the wheels kept turning and life resumed. Tech might be a little more advanced but most things are recognizable. Powered individuals are a known phenomena but are rare. More so than they seem in comics/superhero movies. Most try and keep that sort of thing to themselves otherwise they risk facing discrimination at best, or getting straight up disappeared at worst. There are government sanctioned individuals but they are kept on a leash. There are neighborhood vigilantes too but they hide their identities like hell. The world at large has not yet seen any truly outrageously powered beings. No Superman or Wonder Woman or Thor or Captain Marvel like folks. No baddies on that scale yet either. Doesn't mean they don't exist, its just not public record.

For our group I was either leaning toward them all living/being in a similar neighborhood that gets hit by a government roundup. Or already being in a facility and having a chance to escape when something goes wrong. The idea being proximity and necessity/survival bringing them together beyond whatever base connections there might be.

The main story would move in chapters that include at least one major event. Side scenes and character development would be heavily encouraged in other threads both because that sort of thing really helps and is fun, but also so that no one has to feel like they are sitting around or not involved.

As far as power sets... I'm hesitant to just start listing things that aren't allowed as I feel you never know how something can be tweaked or used effectively. Plus, usually its the sum total of the abilities that's usually too much. Let me see what you all come up with and we can address it if it feels too power heavy. I will also get my character sheet up soon so you can all kinda see an example.

[Nowherewoman]

Will try to get something up tomorrow; ATM, I'm thinking along the lines of a pestomancer- think Squirrel Girl, or Willard, if you're a fan of old creepy movies. She can cause rodents or bugs to swarm. ATM, it's more a utility and distraction tool, but I could see it developing into being able to fly, for example- encased in a shell of wasps...

Sounds good to me. And Im definitely okay with it developing further.

OH what’s this Koka running a game?! Oh My! Color me interested, pending muse juice of course.

[Daemose]

This certainly sounds interesting and a take I've not been able to enjoy in ages!

[Nowherewoman]

Name : Geri (no last)
Nickname(s) | Aliases : Backstreet
DOB | Age : 20-22? She's not sure.
Sex | Gender Identity | Pronouns: Cis femme
Marital Status : Single
Family : Homeless; has a few friends among the shelter crowd, and is on decent terms with a few Detectives, but no one she's really all that close to. Geri has vague memories of someone she thinks might have been her mother, but they're not pleasant ones, so she doesn't dwell on them.

Height | Build : 5'4”, somewhat undernourished (ca. 112#), but wiry and fairly agile.
Hair | Eyes : Black and usually messy; grey eyes
Distinguishing Features : Knife scar upper l. shoulder.

Powered or Non-Powered :powered
Classification : Natural mutation.
Power Set : Pestomancer. Can summon rodents and insects. Not much of a power, ATM, but she's managed to drive off several would-be attackers with swarms of wasps or rats. It doesn't help her with 'higher' animals- dogs especially dislike her- but her people skills may be partially a result of very low-level telepathy or empathy. her 'little buddies' also can act as an early warning system for her, letting her know in advance about intruders in her space, or dangerous goings-on in the surrounding few blocks.

The shelter where she gets her meals and occasionally spends a night has been conspicuously rodent- and bug-free since she started visiting. And she's been experimenting lately, trying to see what other little tricks she can pull off.

Weapons & Skills : Stealth; situational awareness; minor sleight of hand; geographic memory, almost photographic, for familiar areas. She's also a reasonably good judge of people, a learned survival trait.

Personality : Unsurprisingly, she's skittish around groups of people. She definitely has a chip on her shoulder about 'rich folks', though the definition of rich tends to vary according more to how  people behave than how much money they actually have. Someone who comes on like a wannabe boss will get a very different reaction from someone with a little empathy. A bad one.

Geri is surprisingly intelligent- or perhaps 'sly' is a better term, always watching people and looking for an angle or a deal. While not usually confrontational (but snarky A.F.), she's territorial about 'her' space and the few people she considers friends. 'Finders Keepers' is her Prime Directive, and she at times has a broad definition of 'finding', stooping to petty theft once in a while to keep herself fed- but never from another street person.

Likes :Hamburgers with mayo; rain- so long as she doesn't have to sleep in it; Christmas lights.
Dislikes : Preachy people; folks with homes and money who are snotty about it; cops with no heart; addicts
Fears : Dogs- even the tiniest mutt becomes aggressive around her; thunder

History :
>has been on the street for as long as she can remember, though she has vague flashes of having been full-time in a shelter or some sort of house when she was small.
>twice she's used her powers to seriously injure people who tried to hurt her; she's been experimenting lately with using her 'little buddies' in more creative ways. Like opening locks...
>at the same time, she's dimed a few serious bad guys to the cops, figuring everyone's better off with them off the street.

Sexuality :Undetermined- she's totally inexperienced.

On's and Offs : here

Theme Song(s) : IAMX- Nightlife; Nonpoint- The Truth; Disturbed- Sound of Silence; Bones UK- Beautiful is Boring.

Guess I might as well toss up my larcenous litile lass...

Goldilocks

Name : Tyler Sloan
Nickname(s) | Aliases : Goldilocks
DOB | Age : May 31st, 2003 (Age 24)
Sex | Gender Identity | Pronouns: Cis-female, feminine pronouns

Marital Status : Single and loving it
Family : John and Bonnie Sloan (parents, estranged)

Height | Build : 5’ 7'' with a slender build
Hair | Eyes : Platinum blonde hair (long, straight, and obviously not natural), hazel eyes that fluctuate between how brown or green they look
Distinguishing Features : Goldilocks clearly has had a lot of work done and seems incapable of dressing modestly.

Powered or Non-Powered : Powered
Classification : Natural
Power Set : Goldilocks has an instinctive ability to know which choice is "just right" for her. With just a glance she gets a strong gut feeling over which route to take, what code to press, how to find someone's weak spot, knowing exactly the right thing to say or picking a person to take home according to her wants and needs. This talent appears to be an almost unfathomable amount of good luck but what actually happens is Goldilocks extrapolates the best choice from numerous possibilities. Goldilocks’ talents require her to be able to observe and understand the situation. She is less capable when she doesn't fully comprehend what is happening. Superhuman beings and paranormal events are more difficult to predict than more mundane happenings. Her calculations can definitely be fallible. The more information and understanding she has, the better her predictions are. Physically Tyler remains a normal human being and even knowing the best possible scenario is still limited by what a mere mortal can do.

Weapons & Skills : Depending on the job, Goldilocks will carry a handgun for intimidation but she avoids lethal force, it's not her style. A can of mace has been pretty helpful in the past. She is in pretty good shape from her years as a dancer and took a couple self-defence courses so she can do all right in a scrap against normal people. Tyler is a self-taught coder and has picked up some less-than-legal computer tricks over the years.

Personality : A vain, shallow, self-absorbed hedonist with little regard for anything but her own pleasure and desire for thrills. Goldilocks is ruthless and driven, there is little that can make her give up on a target. She is willing to use all her resources to achieve her goals, including her considerable sexual charm. Tyler observes new things carefully, mainly to see if they can either be an advantage to her. Being Goldlocks gives her an adrenaline rush that she craves. Even with her abilities she sometimes ignores the best course of action for the most exciting one. This attitude is responsible for her party girl lifestyle and kinky personal life, one in which she might not choose the best partners to share it with. Her vanity makes her act more theatrical than she needs to be. This is another reason she commits crimes as Goldilocks when she could easily make money in safer ways, because she needs people to know it was her. Outwardly she can seem quite warm and friendly, it’s quite possible Goldilocks is a high-functioning sociopath.

Likes : Attention, luxury goods, feeling smarter than other people, partying, the rush of adrenaline, yoga, dancing, hiking, swimming, Atlanta sports teams, bulldogs, recreational drugs, 1970’s pop culture, and looking at houses.
Dislikes : Boredom, people calling her a bimbo, being overlooked, not getting her way, authority figures, overly personal questions, guys who think they're players, judgemental people, serious relationships, and cooking (because she’s terrible at it).
Fears : Bears. Also dreads the loss of her powers as so much of her self-worth is tied to how they make her feel superior to others.

History :Originally from a small rural town in Georgia, young Tyler Sloan was not the most obedient child to her conservative religious parents. As she grew older her activities evolved from pranks to burglary. She broke into places she didn't belong and messed with things that weren't hers. Her powers started manifesting when she was sixteen and her improving grades were eyed suspiciously by both her teachers and her own family as they figured she had to be cheating. As soon as she was eighteen Tyler decided she had enough of small town life and ran away to Atlanta. There she tried to become a singer but ended up stripping under the stage name "Goldilocks" after her favorite childhood story. She made decent money but not enough to support the lifestyle she wanted so Goldilocks supplemented her income with crime. Goldilocks became quite the successful thief and con artist, using her manipulative skills to make people believe she was the victim and not the villain. Eventually she felt a nagging feeling that she was about to get caught, so she made her way to where she could find allies.

Sexuality : Bi
On's and Offs : Goldilocks is an exhibitionist, an anal aficionado, and a size queen. Sex is the one area she is willing to give up control and she loves feeling how she’s driven a partner wild with lust. Her need for attention extends into her sex life and she enjoys having several partners of all genders. Goldilocks especially enjoys rough gang-bangs where all of her holes are filled. Don't try getting romantic with her, just shut up and do what you're there for. She has a fondness for being naked outside and sunbathes nude when she has the chance. Implants have made her breasts quite sensitive so giving them attention really turns her on. She loves performing fellatio, including blowbangs and bukkake. Her wildest kink is golden showers, both giving and receiving. Her dislikes are anything that won’t fade quickly or clean up easily.

Theme Song(s) : The Runaways - "Cherry Bomb"
Extras : Goldilocks has a charming southern accent and a not-so-charming drug habit. So far her talent has protected her from the worst dangers but she might not be as in control as she thinks.

[Cold Heritage]

Name : Chris Ryder
Nickname(s) | Aliases : Nil.
DOB | Age : October 29 | 21
Sex | Gender Identity | Pronouns: Male | Male | Male pronouns

Marital Status : Single
Family : Joseph and Maria Ryder, parents, distant. Talk once a year at Christmas. Samantha 'Sammie' Ryder, older sister, distant. Haven't spoken in years.

Height | Build : 6'10" | Jacked
Hair | Eyes : Blue eyes, soft and short blond hair.
Distinguishing Features : Nil

Powered or Non-Powered : Powered.
Classification : Experimental.
Power Set : Chris has superhuman strength, endurance, and durability. With his superhuman strength he can run faster than a car and jump much higher than an Olympic class high jumper. He can lift a Mack truck overhead with some effort. His durability allows him to take a bullet to the face no problem, but it doesn't protect him from things like pepper spray or tear gas. If he were in a burning building the temperature or something falling on him wouldn't do him harm, but the smoke inhalation would as he still needs to breathe.
Weapons & Skills : Chris doesn't carry any weapons or know how to use them. He knows how to drive stick, and is a modestly skilled, self-taught guitar player and singer. Chris is also a pretty decent self-taught cook; he learned from the internet and trial and error.

Personality : Chris is a fairly sedate and laid-back kind of person. He's also fairly quiet and can easily spend hours not saying a word to anyone. Not really good at saying or asking for what he wants, Chris is the type to let an opportunity slide if he feels speaking up would be embarrassing or seem selfish (and in his mind that's at least nine times out of ten). There is a fairly deep need for external validation in Chris, and he fits the stereotypical notion of a male that is easily won over by the slightest praise or compliment. There is a nascent misanthropy burgeoning in his heart that can only come from working retail.

Likes : Large, gaudy belt buckles. Gothic rock. NDH. Prime rib, medium rare. Youtube cooking shows like Guga Foods and Chef John.
Dislikes : Doing dishes. Politics. Self-styled 'pick up artists.' Uncleanliness.
Fears : Chris fears rejection more than being alone.

History : After their daughter Samantha was born, Joseph and Maria decided to try for another child, but they couldn't conceive. They went, as medical tourists, to seek the services of a fertility doctor who practiced without a license in South America. Thanks to the efforts of that doctor, Maria became pregnant. What Joseph and Maria didn't know was that the embryo in her womb was not only not theirs, biologically, but it had been subjected to severe alterations. The doctor in question was never able to follow up with the Ryders and the other couples he'd helped as he was killed in shady and mysterious circumstances entirely unrelated to his unlicensed and unethical medical practices and entirely related to his cocaine habit.

Chris enjoyed a typical lower-middle class American upbringing. He did alright in sports and physical pursuits but never stood enough to gain the notice of sports recruiters. His grades were average and nothing of note. After he finished high school, Chris's parents sent him out into the world, promptly relocated to California, and spent their time planning or going on cruises. Chris, meanwhile, works at a Walmart supercenter for minimum wage supplemented by various social programs like food stamps.

Sexuality : Heterosexual.
On's and Offs : Chris has never had a sexual encounter or sexual partner. He doesn't know what he likes and doesn't like.

Theme Song(s) : Econoline Crush - Home
Extras : Chris is the lead singer and guitarist for a truly execrable Rammstein cover band that has branched out into covering other NDH groups. The bassist, Jerry, has written a few original songs but only Chris and Jerry bothered to learn them so they don't perform them as much. Chris got into this band because the drummer, Timmy, works at the same Walmart and because Chris has a van (that they can use to carry their equipment to gigs).

Connections : TBD.

My own sheet, still WIP

Name : Zephyra Vitalis
Nickname(s) | Aliases : Rookie/Rook - Most common | Zee/Z/Zeph
DOB | Age : August 7th | 24
Sex | Gender Identity | Pronouns: Female | Non-Binary | Any

Marital Status : Single
Family :
          Mother - Lilliana Vitalis - Deceased
          Brother - Santiago Vitalis (Cross) - Deceased
          Brother - Constantine Vitalis - 12 - Alive
          Mentor/Uncle - Silas Cross - 55 - Alive

Height | Build : 5'9" | Slim but Athletic
Hair | Eyes : Naturally Brunette | Brown (change color when using powers)
Distinguishing Features : Freckles, Key tat on her wrist, Queen Chess Piece tat on the back of her neck, various scars - most notably two bullet wounds

Powered or Non-Powered : Powered.
Classification : Natural / Engineered (latent gene activation) - serum she was injected with was a bit too aggressive with her system. The gene was activated but also further altered.
Power Set :
Cyberpathy - can control, manipulate, and even generate electronic, digital, and radio transmissions without accessing any standard source of communication so that she is in essence a living wireless hub/computer. This allows her interface with computers and systems.
     - Weaknesses - when Interfaced, her body becomes a living shell. Basic functions are maintained, like breathing, and she is aware to some degree but she cannot dodge or fight. If interfaced too long, the more human parts of her psyche may be damaged or take a while to come back online. Is also potentially susceptible to "hacking" or viruses.
Cybernetic Mind - is able to process information faster than an average person and perform multiple complex mental tasks simultaneously. Also possesses an enhanced memory that allows her to transfer, store, or delete memories and information as she chooses.
     - Weaknesses - The more tasks taken on, the slower she gets at each task. She does have a limit where crashing is likely and she requires a sufficient power source. Aka, tired, hungry, or weakened means less processing power.
Mental Shields - has a very high resistance to purely psychic attacks.
Micro and Radio waves manipulation - can sense, intercept, absorb, interpret, alter, and emit micro and radio waves, particularly as they pertain to telephone, television, radio and data transmissions. Understanding of intercepted transmissions is a passive ability that is always on though affecting the energy or even generating it takes concentration and focus.
     - Weakness - potential sensory overload if exposed to too much stimuli/data/input. She can also get distracted or sort of lost in the waves.
Visible Light wave manipulation - can manipulate light waves to a small degree allowing her to mask herself in conditions with low visibility or even achieve full invisibility while standing still (requires concentration).
     - Weakness - cannot maintain proper concentration while interfaced or if doing to many tasks at once and she can still be detected through other means.
Infrared Vision - accessed by a change in concentration, Rook can't really do much with the waves themselves but she can perceive them.

Rook's powers are all at a lower degree of efficiency to start but will grow stronger as she progresses. However, her body, while highly efficient thanks to her enhanced brain function, is still mortal and limited by physics and her own strengths. Physically she is on par with athletes of a similar build with regular, intensive training.
   
Weapons & Skills : Competent street fighter/grappler. Competent with basic street level firearms + found weapons (does not usually carry). Quick and agile free runner. Ability to learn quickly from experiences. Gambling. Hacking/Programming/Hardware Proficiency. Skateboarding. Building Lego or K'Nex masterpieces w/o instructions.

Personality : Having a mind like a computer that lets you shut out the bad and focus on only what you want to is a dangerous thing. A corrupting and addictive thing. Once you realize you can deftly avoid dealing with the emotional baggage the world tries to saddle you with, after that first time you discover you can promptly distance yourself from the consequences of your actions... well, why wouldn't you?

The face Rook presents to the world is an illusion no matter which way you look at it. Any shining qualities she might possess are all tempered by an almost roguish, devil may care sort of charisma and swagger. And these days she allows nothing to stick to her, nothing to cling, or seemingly matter at all. Beneath the chill exterior, Rook is intensely observant and calculating. She's a survivor. She might compartmentalize all to hell and back but she's not forgotten or forgiven a thing. She won't let herself. Her motives are... clouded at best and she lives by her own code. She is fond of difficult puzzles and problems and possibly due to her ego where her intellect is concerned, she sometimes is overcome by a driving compulsion to solve things. She's also a little OCD.

Touch is a big thing for Rook. She doesn't let just anybody touch her and can even be rather particular about even the most innocent brushes. Yet, she craves it. Most especially after she's used her abilities.

Likes : Free Running. Anything on wheels. Speed. Working out. Chess. Puzzles. Legos. Converse. Reading. Anything that reminds her she is human.
Dislikes : Being reminded that she's human. Bullies. Liars. Deadbeats. Rich pricks who ignore their responsibilities. Guns. Drugs.
Fears : That she can only destroy things, never create. At least not anything good. ; Being alone in the dark.

History :

• When Rook was born, her wealthy playboy father abdicated all responsibility and peaced out real quick. Damn near penniless with a kid already a baby on the way Rook's mother struggled mightily with addiction and her desire to be saved.
  
  
• Rook's mother overdosed when she was 11, leaving her and her two brothers alone. Her older brother (19) tried to take care of them but doing so pushed him into gang life and "easy" money just to keep a roof over their heads. He would eventually back off the criminal stuff but still maintained connections.
  
  
• At 13 Rook is placed in a gifted program and bussed to a fancier school. She gets bullied and then gets in trouble when she fights back. Around the same time she is noticed by Silas Cross, a brilliant man who made his living doing some of everything--very little of it legal. She started out just playing chess with him in the park... until her brother saw them and warned Cross away with the threat of violence.
  
  
• When she was 17, her older brother and some of his former associates were killed in a raid by the police. The reports claim he drew on the cops but there was evidence to show it was a setup. Plus, Rook knew he hadn't carried a gun for a while. Nothing happened despite her pointing to the proof and her brother became a statistic. Cross reappeared in her life.
  
  
• After graduating, Cross hired her to work for him as an... assistant of sorts. He paid enough for her and her brother to have an apartment, and for her to take classes at the local community college. He also pulled strings to get her brother into a better, safer school. She was wary, and not always sure of the "jobs" he gave her, but she was grateful to have her little brother safe so she did what she had to. He was also something of a father figure to her and had treated her better than anyone ever had before.
  
  
• Three years ago, Cross' properties were raided and most of his business' were taken down. Rook was injured in the sting. Cross himself disappeared but not before he visited Rook and injected something into her iv. Though it had been touch and go at first, Rook made a full recovery. In fact, she came out of it better than normal. And through some miracle only found herself on probation. Her little brother was taken from her and placed in a group home. She fought to get him back but just when it seemed like she might win, Rook was framed and convicted of violating her probation.
  
  
• Nine months later, Rook moved into a small apartment over one of the local liquor stores. She kept a low profile and appeared to be sticking to the terms of her parole but in reality she began dabbling in "odd jobs" that have her doing a whole host of shit she wouldn't want her little brother to know. She can't get him back without a fancy good lawyer but after having checked up on him she's not sure she should get him back as he looks happy and healthy with his new family.
  
  Sexuality : Pansexual Switch (depends on partner)
  On's and Offs : Rook is turned on by Passion, Sensuality, Intensity, and Intimacy. Highly physical partners. Anything that gets her adrenaline pumping, including fighting. Sharing food (as in feeding each other, cooking for one another, eating from the same plate). The rest is negotiable and just depends on chemistry. Her offs are bathroom stuffs, gore, vore, fisting, and feet.

  GIANTS - True Damage (ft. Becky G, Keke Palmer, SOYEON, DUCKWRTH, Thutmose) | League of Legends
  Wretches And Kings - Linkin Park
  
  Extras :
  
• The first few months Rook was in her new place, it got robbed quite frequently. Now no one goes near it or the liquor store below.
  
• Rook knows most of the neighborhood kids and they like to look for her cars.

Already showed Koka but here's my first idea (Though I do have a backup in mind too.):

Name : Marcus Griffin
Nickname(s) | Aliases : Spitfire
DOB | Age : January 12th | 23
Sex | Gender Identity | Pronouns: Male | Male | He/Him

Marital Status : Single
Family : Dad - Close but struggles with emotions.
Oldest brother - Distant, often confrontational.
Older brother - Close, supportive.

Height | Build : 6'3" | Muscular
Hair | Eyes : Blonde, Short | Blue
Distinguishing Features : Heavily tattooed, Burn scars on hands/arms, Several bruises and marks after broken bones

Powered or Non-Powered : Powered.
Classification : Alien (But unaware)
Power Set :

• Alien Physiology: Marcus is an alien. His kind is extremely close to humans but differ in one major way. Their hearts can produce extreme amounts of energy that enhance their bodies when they are put in stressful situations (Physically or emotionally). The stronger their emotions the stronger, tougher, and faster they get. Similarly, as they produce more energy they heat up significantly, to the point their skin can burn to touch. Marcus's kind develops gradually over their life and so he is not currently anywhere near his potential.
• Enhanced Physicality: Marcus's physique enhances as his body is flooded with energy. At his peak, which takes time to reach, he can lift but not throw a car, withstand small arms fire with only bruises and outstrip any olympian. He can heal relatively swiftly from flesh wounds during these times.
• Heat Generation: Marcus projects heat from his body, scaling with his emotional state. At peak, his touch can cause burns to the skin and he will heat up anyone or anything nearby significantly.
• Weaknesses: Marcus has several weaknesses, these include:
  
  
  
  • Ramp-Up: Marcus starts out as a normal person while calm. He takes time to reach his peak even in an intense situation.
  • Overheating: Marcus can overheat dangerously and exhaust himself or become dangerous to others. At his peak he will burn anyone who touches his bare skin and he cannot function long without collapsing.
  • Cold: Marcus is vulnerable to cold temperatures, they make it harder for his body to produce it's unique energy and it takes longer for him to reach his potential.
  • Fuel: Marcus requires a huge amount of calories to sustain himself, particularly if he uses his powers. He eats a great deal of food and cannot survive on a restrained diet.

Be clear. Powers can develop over time. There should be clear weaknesses/drawbacks/limits. If you can't think of how your character can be taken down, they're likely too powerful.[/i]
Weapons & Skills : Excellent Driver. Talented Mechanic. Knows how to throw a punch and fight dirty.

Personality : Marcus is the epitome of a man who wears his heart on his sleeve. He is an awful liar, a deeply loyal friend, and a man whose moods shift relatively easily. He doesn't like dishonesty or manipulation and he's not well-suited to playing politics with others. If pushed he can become angry relatively quickly but at the same time, he is always willing to step in for a friend if they need it. Marcus hates bullying, particularly if the target is weaker or more vulnerable. He has little real sense of self-preservation and will almost always be willing to risk harm or upset if he believes it's justified. At times Marcus can have an issue with aggression and, in truth, he is relatively poor at controlling his emotions. Marcus cares deeply for animals and will always prioritise keeping them safe. Despite his rough image he is a committed vegan and has not eaten animal products in more than ten years. Marcus also does not drink but he does use drugs on rare occassions.

Likes : Honesty | Loyalty | Boldness | Hard Rock | Hip-Hop (90's-early 2000's) | Muscle Cars | Bikes | The Smelll of Oil | Vegan Food
Dislikes : Cowards | Liars | Most Politicians | Power-Tripping | Egotists
Fears : Being Manipulated/Tricked | Drowning | Being Abandoned | Losing his temper and going too far |

History :
-> Marcus does not know anything about his life prior to arriving on earth. In truth, he is an alien, the first and only of his kind to land on earth. His kind's powers take an extremely long time to develop over their elongated life spans and are near-indistinguishable from humans in early life.
-> Marcus was found by his father, a single dad raising two sons. He took the infant in and adopted him. Marcus has always wondered why he he has blonde hair and blue eyes when his siblings and father have brown hair and brown eyes. Marcus has never been told he is adopted, or that he is an alien.
-> Despite being alien Marcus was raised with a great deal of love by his father, a sentimental but old-fashioned man.
-> Marcus's powers developed when he was a teen. He was told they must have been some kind of genetic mutation and that he needed to hide them.
-> Due to Marcus's temperamental nature he has found it very hard to restrain his powers and sometimes feels the room heat when he is angry or upset.
-> Marcus has generally avoided close relationships due to fears of his powers being outed.
-> Marcus works as a mechanic, a job he is excellent at, and does not regularly use his powers at all. He tells himself he wants to live a normal life but he's not sure this is really true, he just doesn't know what he really wants.



Sexuality : Pansexual
On's and Offs : Marcus is open to many things. He prefers sex to be intimate, rough, and instinctive. He has some masochistic tendencies.

Theme Song(s) : The Prodigy - Spitfire
Extras : Feel free to note other details that may not fit elsewhere.

Connections : TBD.

Interesting idea. Going for Weird more than Powerful here. Also have an idea for a Non-Powered but let's see how this goes first.

Name: Renrut Semaj
Nickname(s) | Aliases: The Mirrorsmith
DOB | Age: 12/21 | 23.
Sex | Gender Identity | Pronouns: Male | Male | He/Him

Marital Status: Single
Family: James Turner - Originator. Renrut claims to be Turner's now independent Mirror Reflection.

Height | Build: 5'11" | Thin.
Hair | Eyes: Short Brown | Blue
Distinguishing Features: Old Burn Scars, suggesting an abusive upbringing and a Mad-Hatter of Alice-in-Wonderland themed tattoo. Interestingly, they are Mirror-Reversed versions of the same scars and tattoo that are recorded on James Turner.

Powered or Non-Powered : Powered.
Classification : Other. Claims to be a Mirror Reflection that's achieved Independence by killing his Originator, a claimed origin so fantastical that the more commonly accepted theory is that he's something more like a Ghost or an empowered alternative personality of James Turner.
Power Set: Sympathetic Spatial Manipulation via Reflective Surfaces - The Mirrorsmith has the rather dramatic ability to step into the Images on Reflective Surfaces as if they were their own Physical Space.

• When inside an Reflected Image, the Mirrorsmith seems incapable of being directly attacked though he also can't attack on his own without first leaving the Image. He also can be attacked indirectly by attacking him with the mirror images of attacks.
• By stepping "Off Screen" the Mirrorsmith can use Reflective Images to Transport between distances and maneuver around obsticles. This is not true teleportation, but the paths between two points can be significantly shorter in the "Mirror World" than in Physical Reality. Obsticles in the path that can be seen in reflective surfaces still have to be respected, for example the image of a closed door still has opened.
• The Mirrorsmith can only enter or exit out of reflective surfaces clear enough to make a good quality image, if there is no reflective surface at his intended destination he can't exit there. If there is a reflective surface at his intended destination but its too small for his body to go through he can witness events at his destination but can't exit back into the physical world.
• Light does have to be striking the reflective surface for him to be able to use it. Covering the mirror with a thick blanket will make it useless for him for example.
• Future development: The ability to take other beings safely along the mirror paths. Right now when he attempts to transport someone else they tend to not going out of it very well, with often lethal results.
• Future development: The ability to transport things from the other universe into the prime one, with otherworldly properties intact.

Weapons & Skills: Renrut does seem to have a talent for Knives, something he's picked up from his Originator.

Personality: Like he stepped out of a children's story book. One of the weirder Lewis Carrol ones, old- with swords and sing-song-y logic and dragons and all that insanity. He claims he's not Insane in the truest sense of the world, his mind works perfectly fine from where he's from. He's just from a parallel universe with different laws of biology and physics, the only hard rule seeming to be that where the Physical World and the Mirror World align it has to look identical.

This is, needless to say, absolutely insane. There's a strong competing theory that the already psychopathic James Turner's past is so traumatizing that the event that gave him his powers also created the relatively good alternate personality of Renrut Semaj. Fortunately, this means only the alternate personality can access the powers.

Likes : Reading | Wonder | Exploration | Tea | Art | Mirrors
Dislikes : James Turner | Violence | Authorities | Parental Figures | Dirt
Fears : James Turner, and the theory that Renrut is an alternate personality of a notorious serial killer and not an independent reflection.

History: There's two stories here, depending on who you ask. They both agree with how they start, there once was a very wicked man named James Turner. James Turner did have an extremely traumatic childhood though how exactly seems to vary based on when and who you asked. Suffice to say he had the kind of upbringing where when you hear that James Turner would eventually become a psychopathic serial killer that enjoyed targetting young blonde girls, well - nothing can excuse what he did but it's not exactly a surprise. James Turner wasn't caught from good detective work or a lucky break, James Turner ended up turning himself in - claiming that his own Mirror Reflection was gaining independence and threatening to kill him. Later, James Turner disappeared from his cell one dark and stormy night.

Now this is where the story diverges. In one version, James Turner's Mirror Reflection achieved true Independence from his originator, took the name Renrut Semaj, killed James Turner, then used the Mirrors in the Prison to escape into the rest of the world to enjoy life free of his horrific and traumatizing Originator. A world he's determined to "improve" via selected demolition of a few dimensional boundaries. The other story is that James Turner's psyche eventually snapped in two and he's developed a *relatively* good 2nd Personality, a relatively harmless thief seemingly bent on making "Wonder-Logic Machines" to bring down the barriers between the Physical World and "Wonderland".

Which you believe, well - that reflects more on you then Renrut.

Sexuality: Surprisingly Vanilla.
On's and Offs : Romance, Hand-Holding.

Theme Song(s) : Maniac as covered by Carpenter Brut
Extras : (Renrut is an Independent Lifeform that just happens to have the unfortunate luck of being a perfect mirror reflection of a notorius serial killer. In Universe though the split personality is more believable.)

Connections : TBD.

Alright. I am gonna close this off to new interest after this post and give the people already here some time to ponder characters or decide if they want in or not.

Looks like an excellent response and group, at the moment I’m not getting a character coming together for my muse, so consider me a no go for any CS.  Thanks and have fun!!

[Kokaine]

No worries. Thanks for your consideration and best of luck in your current and future games ^^

[virtualblue]

Some possible points of connection (besides the local area) that I noticed for Willa / Wisp and other characters are:

• Rook: Her younger brother is/was in a group home and Willa and her twin brother also spent ~5 years in a group home.
• Chris Ryder: Willa's powers come from an experimental in vitro program and Ryder's powers from an experimental fertility program. Willa's family also has a South American connection and Ryder's fertility program was somewhere in South America.
• Mirrorsmith: Turner was in prison and Willa's grandfather is in prison.
• William ''Billy'' Velasco: Willa's twin brother was left deliberately ambiguous so he might be in contact with one of the characters--i.e. he might work at the shelter Backstreet frequents.

I'd be happy to modify some of Willa's backstory to help solidify connections if anyone thinks they'd be helpful. For example, Willa's imprisoned grandfather could be a murderer to give a stronger connection to Turner as, maybe, a cellmate.

[CurvyKitten]

Name : Davina Sinclary
Nickname(s) | Aliases : Sin
DOB | Age : 9/19 | 23
Sex | Gender Identity | Pronouns: Female | female | She/her

Marital Status : Single
Family : Her father who she doesn’t know is a villain of sorts already. Deacon the man that raised her and all his merry band of misfits.

Height | Build : 5’8 | lithe hourglass
Hair | Eyes : Black falls in thick waves down to the small of her back | Dark brown with flakes of gold in it
Distinguishing Features : Nose piercings (see image), 

Powered or Non-Powered : Powered
Classification : Natural
Power Set :
Shadow Magic-

Sin has the ability to manipulate shadows, changing their shape, creating illusions and is starting to gain the ability to create solid constructs out of them. The constructs are simple at this point but she is always practicing and trying to expand on her abilities.

She also has the ability to become one with the shadows around her, fading from view and becoming the darkness itself. This allows her to travel through the shadows as well. And see in complete darkness.

Weakness- The more light there is the harder it is for her to work her gift. This gift almost makes her more sensitive to natural sunlight. Burning farm more easily than anyone else normally would. Unnatural light in large enough doses can cause migraines and weakness.


Weapons & Skills : The shadows are her weapons, limited to simple weapons at the moment. But still as long as there is darkness she as something to work with. Brawler and street fighter, Thief/B and E expert, escape artist, artist, gymnastics, stealth,

Personality : Sin is like the shadows, mysterious, and with a dark sense of humor. She seems to keep parts of herself closed off and hidden away from people. So she never really talks about her past, just tidbits here and there. But she is not shy, forward, flirty, strong, and stubborn. She has a passion for music and is very intelligent though doesn't flaunt it. She seems to have a fiery spirit that struggles with the darkness within. It may seem like she is hiding something deep within her. Only her eyes seem to give away any hint to the caged passion hidden with her.

The mixture of darkness and light has found a delicate balance within herself. She tries to maintain that balance, but there are times when the darkness within almost seems to overshadow the light within her soul. A struggle she continues to have within herself, but for now, it is a struggle she is winning.

Likes : motorcycles, rock music, drawing, painting, beer, alcohol, pizza, Silver and jewel (shinies!), thunderstorms, nighttime, cloudy days, 
Dislikes : getting stuck in the sun to long, being caged, authority figures, pretentious people, 
Fears : losing her abilities and being truly vulnerable again, being captured and being some sort of experiment, letting someone in close,

History : Not much is known about Sin’s origins, she was simply dropped off at the church steps one evening. Like the horrible movie cliché, only there was no sad note or tearful goodbye. The true identity of her parents was unknown, but there was magic and darkness in her blood. So there she was, a small baby with bright blue eyes left on some steps and expected to learn how to survive all on her own. Being bounced from home to home she never stayed anywhere long enough to make any real life, friends, or home. Most of the adults would comment on her strange behaviors and say she was simply too much to handle. In truth, they were scared of the strange things that would happen around her. Shadows playing on walls, dark shadows haunting the halls, and her ability to just pop out of now were always served to make any adult unnerved by her.

At the age of 14, Devina got tired of being bounced around and ran away. She took to the streets and found that she had a whole new way of life available to her. She took to stealing and simply doing what was needed to survive. This is when and where she met Deacon an older homeless man that seemed to be king of the streets so to speak. He took her in and added her to his brood of misfits. The next few years were spent being a pain in the ass to the authorities, and making her way through the world however she pleased.

Years later Sin broke out on her own but still owes Deacon for giving her a home when she was all alone. Now living in an abandoned building she’s been pimping out for years. Squatters' rights for the win right? She does what she wants, goes where she wants, and plays with whomever she wants. What more could a girl ask for in life??

Sexuality : Bisexual.

Im down to alter history points as well.

With Rook, were you thinking a direct connection like they know each other/have said more than "sup" or just thinking they've seen each other?

Im down to alter history points as well.

With Rook, were you thinking a direct connection like they know each other/have said more than "sup" or just thinking they've seen each other?

They were in a group home from age 13 to their 18th birthday so depending on how long Rook's brother was there they most likely know him. They probably weren't friends with someone that is ~6 years younger than her but maybe Willa protected him from some bullies at one point? She might have heard of Rook's rep and thought she might be someone good to have in her debt, so she decided to look out for the kid. Alternately, Billy (her brother) is shy and withdrawn, so he might have befriended a kid a lot younger than him, which would have inadvertently put him under Willa's protection. Anyway, the end result is Willa and Rook might be on friendly terms. Willa might have even looked her up once she was out of the group home.
