NEBULA
HIGH





From the far reaches of the Earth and beyond came the Sentinels of Honor, the most powerful group of heroes the world had ever seen!  They first fought in the Golden Age against the Axis powers in the midst of World War 2, ever evolving and changing.  Some of their numbers are still around today, but most from those days are long gone or retired.  New blood joined, fought... some died but most persevered.  Through the decades the Sentinels of Honor remained strong, but so did the forces of evil.  An armored megalomaniac named the Decimator proved to be a near constant thorn in the sides of the Sentinels from the late 70s to today.  He and many others threatened the safety of our world, but always the Sentinels of Honor were there to stop them.  But you know this story... what you may not know is where the next generation of heroes is trained...

NEBULA HIGH! The world's foremost superhero training academy!  It's secret location, known to very few keeps the students safe from those who would wish them harm.  Normal students go to high school.  Super powered students go to NEBULA HIGH!  Whether they are referred to the school by their super powered parents or the government itself (for those with normal parents), all students find a home away from home for the school year at this prestigious institute.  At Nebula High they will learn all they need to know in order to be among the next generation of super powered defenders of the Earth.. and who knows?  Perhaps a handful will be selected to become the next to join the illustrious Sentinels of Honor!






Students arrive via teleportation disks at the beginning of the school year and live on campus until Summer vacation, when they are permitted to return home.  Occasional field trips to various places on Earth do occur, but under supervision of a senior staff member.  Classes include standard High School academia as well as things such as High Technology and Super Science, Hand to Hand Combat and Magic and Psychic Fortitude.  The school is technically unaffiliated with any government but has liaisons to each major country's Department of Superhuman Affairs (DSA).  As it was originally founded by an American based super team (The Sentinels of Honor), it is a predominantly English speaking school, though technological accommodations can be made for those who don't speak English, whether they be from a foreign country or another planet.

The Principal of the school is none other than former Sentinel, Neutron.  Now retired from fighting crime, he has nonetheless vowed to use his abilities to nurture the next generation of heroes.
Don't just go to school... go to NEBULA HIGH!





******




This will be a largely sandbox-style group game centered around a super powered high school similar to the one seen in the movie Sky High.  Teacher positions are limited but available until otherwise noted.  If you are going to play a student, they must be from 16 years of age to 18 years of age (Sophomore to Senior). 

This was previously an established game but we have decided to do a reboot of all threads and see if we can gain some fresh interest.  We look forward to seeing what everyone can come up with!

Remember, we're looking for original characters.  A PC can be an homage to a canon comic book character, but we ask that for the most part they be your own creation.

Please fill out the sheet below and submit it to Josietta and myself for approval.

NAME: Jet Lafayette

NOM DE GUERRE: Void

PLAYER: kingmaster1

AGE: 18

GENDER: Male

SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Straight

POSITION/GRADE: sophomore

ORIGIN: While inside the room Jet's father, who was a scientist, began injecting various chemicals into his through his mother, in hopes of turning his unborn son into some superhuman. No complications or improvements showed during the whole nine months but, the day he was born, things began to show. The doctors saw him as a normal boy, but when he got home things began happening. It first happened with a new toy, a wooden pistol his mother handed him. He laughed and played with it but, once she checked on him again, the gun was gone and no where to be found. His mother was suspicious until he lifted up his hand and, out of his finger, popped the ball that acted as the bullet. After that he was taken by a government troupe to a secure location.

As he aged, seeing his parents every now and then, his powers grew in sophistication and in pure strength. His powers were found to have a certain limit until his body began becoming unstable and he could consume no more, either ejecting all absorbed material, causing it to be fatal shrapnel to all around him, or his body would simply expand in mass until eventually falling apart. They are trying to find something that could keep him stable after his current storage capability, seeing that he could be used to defend against large things like a nuclear missile.

He is more or less happy with his life and even more so when he gets to go to school, Neutron high is quite a fun place.

RESIDENCE: His parents had him in San Francisco, Ca and he would spend most of his summers there, but the government facility he was normally refined too was located in Sacramento Ca.

PARENTS AND RELATIVES OF NOTE: His father is prof. Jonathan Lafayette, famed biological scientist specializing in the study of human mutation. His mother is Angelica Lafayette, homemaker and assistant to his father.

POWERS: Matter absorption. Jet has the ability of consuming matter through any part of his body and making its genetic structure a part of his own. This could range from turning his finger into an absorbed gun or making his hair strands of electrical wiring. Though he needs to have enough of the substance absorbed to utilize it. This can benefit him in armor, being able to burrow holes in walls and make his skin into steel or concrete.

Because of his ever changing genetics his body and DNA in general are very unstable and can only handle a certain amount of matter before becoming dangerously unstable. Despite research that have been unable to find out just how much this is but are aware that, if he is overencombered, his body will reject the absorbed material and immediately eject it into the surrounding area, causing shrapnel of all varieties being fired out or, if he fights this ejection, his body will simply collapse in on itself like a neutron star.

The Appearance:
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

EYE COLOR: Amber

HAIR COLOR: White

HEIGHT: 6"2'

WEIGHT: 197

BODY TYPE: Thin

Beyond the Image

LIKES: Charming people, care free people, cats, relaxing, drinking, skipping class, his sword

DISLIKES: work, responsibilities, boring people, most classes, waking up early, large dogs, obnoxious people

TALENTS: Fairly proficient with hand-to-hand combat, scientific experimentation, as well as bladed combat.

CHARACTER TRAITS: Carefree, a bit lazy, very friendly and liberal with his partners,  a mostly kick back person.

PERSONALITY: Jet considers himself a nice person, always trying to find the best in people, though he can sometimes be sidetracked by lust. He would be one of those people drooling over a woman due to her looks and paying no mind to who she was. He's fairly weak towards women, always bending to their will if they beg him just the right way. With other men he has much more of a backbone but he does love hanging out with both genders and drinking together. He will always be the one who first offers a drink and pounds down the first bottle.

Leaving this open to any kind of review or suggestion anyone might have :-)

New to the forums and I am very interested! Tell me if I need to add anything :D Looking forward to this.

NAME: Michael Axe

NOM DE GUERRE: The Watcher

PLAYER: Me!

AGE: 16

GENDER: Male

SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Hetero

POSITION/GRADE: Junior

ORIGIN: Scientific Experiment

RESIDENCE: Las Vegas, Nevada

PARENTS AND RELATIVES OF NOTE: Bruce Axe; serves as a U.S. Navy SEAL and currently holds rank of Commander.

POWERS: Metal Manipulation, and Photographic Memory/hyper-awareness.

The Appearance

EYE COLOR: Blue

HAIR COLOR: Blonde

HEIGHT: 6'1

WEIGHT: 210 lbs.

BODY TYPE: Slightly Husky

APPEARANCE: Generally wears an undershirt, a black coat, and black cargo shorts. Numerous surgical scars on his back.



Beyond the Image

LIKES: Music, working out, reading, studying history (particularly Military Battles), and shooting at the range.

DISLIKES: People who see the world in black and white, Loudness, religious Zealots, people in general, and excess violence.

TALENTS: Marksmanship; The only thing his father is proud of. Speed-reader (300+ words a minute), jury-rigging.

CHARACTER TRAITS: Loner, soft-spoken, intelligent. .

PERSONALITY: A loner, gruff. Michael could be a people person; yet, he chooses not to. Has a very good hold on his temper, but if angered there is no stopping him. After years with a father in the military, Michael no longer sees the world as pure black and white; instead, there are just shades of gray. Michael knows that his father has killed, and realizes that the military may call upon him to do the same thing. He realizes that sometimes, the ends do justify the means and that the world requires people like him to function.

History: Michael’s father loved his military career more than his own family; this was perfect when the government needed a test subject for a military experiment. The premise of the experiment was simple; graft a human skeleton with metal, making soldiers bulletproof! Bruce Ax volunteered his unborn son Michael. The experiment was deemed a failure, Michael was left scarred physically and emotionally, and he was ejected from the program; a major point of contention between him and his father. After he left the program, his relationship with his father completely deteriorated. Bruce considers his son a black mark on his otherwise perfect career.  At the age of 12, Michael started to notice he was changing. He could mold and shape metals; as if they were wet clay! Another day, he started to rub a letter opener; when he glanced at the letter opener, it was sharpened to a fine point. Michael has only made one other discovery about his power; he can propel metal as if he was a human gun.
I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch and you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities. You become a little baby, you go back into the womb, spend your last nine months floating... and you finish off as an orgasm.

Major Major

I might fancy a go at this; plus I can play either male or female characters. Are there any niches you'd liked filled?

LunarSage

Kingmaster1, your character looks good.  Note that there may be substances that for whatever reason he is unable to absorb, but in general I like the limitation that he must consume the material in order to take on it's properties.

artemis050, your primary power is cool, but if you would like to have innate protection from harm from metal you need to take that as your secondary power.  Just like a character with fire expulsion would need to take immunity to fire and heat as their secondary power.

Major Major, we welcome any concept and character.  For reference, here is the old approved character sheet thread so you can see what sorts we will already be having in the game.  NPCs will remain the same as before and I know that my PC, Senti's PC, Cadavar's PC and CurvyKitten's PCs will likely remain the same.

Kokaine, did you want to just reestablish your old characters?

I can imagine that there would be some things he can't absorb for some reason and I can imagine that he would be fascinated by whatever it is :P

He has also been able to absorb non solid matter, like fire or water, but this creates an immense amount of strain on his body as it's nothing he could replace a piece of his body with, if he did it would simply end eventually, leaving him without a hand or foot.

The only thing I would say is that he would need stick to solid matter. No elemental matter.  Otherwise its just far too broken.  Bear in mind that you are still learning to control your power. Thats why you are sent to Nebula High to learn how to use your powers. If you already had control over them you wouldn't have been invited to join the school.

Well, I suppose it would be best not to hit non solid matter since he couldn't actually touch it, so I think you're right there. But he can touch water although it would really mess with his body if he did so, he wouldn't want his liver becoming liquid or something :P

So yeah, no absorption of non solid stuff, I'll edit that.

Very much a WIP
============

NAME: Martin Harvey MacDowell

NOM DE GUERRE: (What is your super name?) The Caller (Subject to change if I can find a better name)

PLAYER: Major Major

AGE: 16

GENDER: male

SEXUAL ORIENTATION: straight

POSITION/GRADE: Junior

ORIGIN: A rather odd combination of mystical artifact and technology

RESIDENCE: New Zealand

PARENTS AND RELATIVES OF NOTE: Nothing special to note; parents are a stained glass artist and a psychiatric nurse

POWERS:
(Major) Can summon a simulation of a single character from any source of fiction; the simulated character would have a less-powerful version of their normal skillset.
(Minor) can speak nearly any language.

The Appearance

EYE COLOR: Brownish hazel

HAIR COLOR: dirty blonde

HEIGHT: 198cm

WEIGHT: 130 kg

BODY TYPE: Slightly pudgy

APPEARANCE: TBD

Beyond the Image

LIKES: Anime, jazz music, model making, classic literature, "Good Movies", classic comedy.

DISLIKES: religious zealotry, intolerance towards others (these two points are linked), Michael Bay blockbusters.

TALENTS: Piano playing; trivia games, creative writing and making spreadsheets

CHARACTER TRAITS: absent-minded, sweet-natured

PERSONALITY: Martin's one of those people who seem to be self-contradictory at first glace; a quiet man with a very loud voice; gentle but prone to a fierce temper; apparently slow-witted yet quick with clever little trivia facts; shy about his appearence yet loves to be in the limelight; good-natured but occassionally sinks into bad moods. It's a baffling set of contradictions, that makes for a wierd guy, but is generally considered a nice person.

History

The life of Martin MacDowell is one of ups and downs; at Primary and Intermediate School he was an excellent student, but a series of head injuries over the course of his formative years left him absent minded and disconnected at Secondary School, resulting in him backsliding to becoming a below-average student. It was during this time that he happened to discover anime and manga, in the form of Ken Akamatsu's world famous series Love Hina, and became a life-long fan of the genre. In recent times, he's been making a much more concious effort to be a better student.

The source of his powers is probably one of the weirder sources; one weekend he was at a local flea market with his father, and bought a small necklace for his mother's birthday. He took it home to his bedroom and was about to wrap it up when he was called away for a bit to help tie down some things in the garden to protect them from an oncoming storm; the necklace was left on top of a pile of DVDs. As it also happened he'd been intending to watch some of those DVDs to relax and pass the time with, and the necklace was next to his DVD player, and began to soak up the radiating waste energies from the device as he was in the garden.

Just as Marty was coming back to his room, the storm arrived, and lightning hit the local substation, sending an overload through the powerlines and shorting out his house. His TV set and DVD player gave him a mild electrical shock that knocked him out for a while. But just as that happened, the necklace absorbed a massive jolt of energy, and the last thing Marty saw before he passed out was bolts of energy striking out from the necklace and striking his anime DVDs. After he came to in A&E, where he was being treated for electrical burns and shock, he went home and began to examine the necklace, and from that, discovered its' awesome powers....

LunarSage

Major Major, can you please elaborate on your character's summoning power?

kingmaster1

Does he just rip people out of their reality and put them into this one? Or are they like, golems with mimicked powers?

Major Major

The latter, yes; they're simulacrum of the 'real' person.

Also, sorry it took so long to clear that point up; my net connection speed is really bad today; we're talking bytes per second.
