The Seven - An OC game based on 'The Boys' Amazon series/comics

[firepyre]

Super tempted. Will have to think about if I can actually commit to another game though.

Assuming we're sticking with the same concept as the show, what do you think about supervillains that are in cahoots with the seven. I.E they're basically marketed as the 7's  arch-nemesies that always seem to get away somehow, when in reality, they probably catch up after in HQ to plot the next PR event.

[Primarch]

Ooo interested ;3
I'm stuck between a plant based or cryokinesis xD

Well we have a fire manipulator so there could be an interesting dynamic between him & a cryokinetic? But the plant based character is always a classic!

I think we'll avoid that sort of angle to be honest, running with the shows approach of the Supes dealing with legitimate threats that can wear them down over time seems like it would create a more dramatic narrative.

[MingMing]

I've only just started watching the show.... are you willing to entertain a new player still catching up to the story?

[Primarch]

Absolutely! You're not the first in fact. One of the others is just finished binge watching it so you'll be right at home!

I think I’m leaning more towards ice at the moment, as it would be a fun contrast xD
I’ll have a sheet sent in when I get off from work.

[Ron Don Volante]

Character: Sita Shenoy/Dark Star
Player:Ron Don Volante

Role: Member of the Seven
Powers/Special abilities:

• Light Manipulation - Dark Star can make changes to surrounding light from amplifying it to snuffing it out, no matter the source. She can also make cosmetic changes to nearby light including changing the shape of its projection and its color. This is a skill she’s excellent at using.
• Dazzling Lights - Dark Star can create sudden bursts of light centimeters from the eyes of her opponents causing them to be blinded and stunned temporarily. This is a skill she’s excellent at using.
• Prismatic Barrier - Although it drains her, Dark Star is able to create a barrier that can provide shelter against incoming attacks. She needs more training to make the barrier more durable and less exahusting.
• Light Binding - A power Dark Star has recently discovered, she is able to use less power as she does from the Prismatic Barrier to create physical manifestations of light, though they can only exist temporarily. So far she has just been able to create restraints that slow or temporarily stop an opponent’s legs.
• Mirror Images - A power that Dark Star has only recently discovered, she is able to create copies of herself. They act in concert with her real self and often vanish when struck but the confusion it can sow against an opponent is all she often needs. She will need further training for the copies to act independently, to last longer, and to maybe even pack a harder punch.

Personality:

• Deeply Religious - Born and raised in a very conservative Hindu family, Sita learned Sanskrit, went to temple at least once a week, celebrated Hindu holidays, and so on. Her parents also had a solidly political, sexual, and social conservative outlook including a dislike of homosexuality, promiscuous sex, and a rather dim look on being romantically entagled with others of a different religious, or ethnic, persusasion. Much of this has transferred to Sita who keeps her religious beliefs and rejects the idea of homosexuality and marrying a non-Hindu despite her real feelings.
• Naive - Raised with a strong black-and-white view of ‘right and wrong’, in the idea of America in general , and The Seven in particular, and having received her training from the Young Americans, Sita very much buys into the ‘simplistic’ view pushed by Vought Intl’s propaganda machine. This includes believing The Seven are moralistic champions of Good.
• Chaste - Because of her religious beliefs, Sita is a believer in virginity before marriage. She gets a bit flustered and embarassed at even the discussion of sex and is reluctant to date at all, let alone with someone of a different reigious or ethnicity than her.
• Moralistic - Accused of being judgmental, Sita rather instead views herself as a beacon of morality and purity in a decadent world. She’s not shy about vocalizing in the problem she sees in the actions of others often to their great annoyance.
  

History:

• Born on March 30, 1997 in Benson, Arizona underneath a falling star to Indian immigrants, a doctor father and an IT manager mother, Sita Shenoy suffered from complications involved with her birth. Her father pulled some strings and infant Sita was admitted to a bleeding edge ‘clinical trial.’ Sita survived but, unbeknownst to anyone, was actually injected with Compound V.
• Manifesting her powers late in her career in high school, Sita was a perfect candidate for the Young Americans, especially because her ethnicity and religion helped the group showcase its ‘commitment to diversity.’
• While training, Sita attended an excellent college where she excelled, graduating with a degree in physics. Additionally, she trained and fought with The Young Americans. The stress of juggling both commitments took a toll on her mentally but pressure both from her parents and the group made her suppress her feelings, not for the first time.

Relationships/Connections:

• TBD
• TBD
• TBD

Secrets/Gossip:

• Sexual Orientation - Never daring to reveal it, and surpressing every single urge, Sita is actually bisexual with a strong preference for women. This often manifests in her relationship with female friends, with her either getting too close or by lashing out at them to hide her true feelings.
• Sexual Desires - Despite her childhood, Sita has a strong (and secret) interest in BDSM particularly on the submissive and masochistic side of things. Although she often comes off as a moralistic and demanding, in secret she fantasizes about being dominated often in a sadistic manner.

[Kadigan]

I hope this looks good, sort of the calendar girl type I was going for.

Ime

 

Character: Mika Rouleau | Ime
Player: BarbaraGordon

Role: Member of the Sven
Powers/Special abilities:

• Healing Touch

She has the ability to heal someone from injuries ranging from minor to grievous. The more serious the injury the more she has the recuperate in between sessions, unless she’s drawing that energy from elsewhere.

• Death Touch

Not the “official” name of the power, as the PR department spins it that she’s rendering her foes unconscious. However, in reality she is draining their life force from them and the process often causes blackouts to the victim due to the shock. The longer she holds on, the more she takes.  The stronger a person, the longer and more difficult it can be to absorb their life force. She can either allow the energy to dissipate or if she uses it quickly enough can use it to heal someone else.

• Somewhat stronger

She’s no Warden, but her physical abilities were increased to be on par with an Olympian in terms of fitness and strength levels.
[/list]

Personality:

• Focused in the field

Ime is very intense in the field, or more accurately when there is a combat situation taking place. She didn’t forget all of her police training simply because she was made into something a lot better.

• Bread and Circuses

Ime is happiest when she's living the good life and getting what she wants, Sweet to those who have something she wants, she’s more then happy to do whatever she can for the Seven to make some extra money. Posters, Calendars, Personal Appearances. As long as it keeps money flowing, she’s in.

• Bratty brat brat

At the same time, when she’s not getting her way she can get very huffy, annoyed, spoiled, demanding. She’s almost always one piece of bad news away from a stamped foot and a meltdown.
[/list]

History:

Mika is the daughter of an Olgala Lakota man and a women he met while serving in the armed forces in Taiwan who grew up on the Prairie Rose Reservation. She grew up in rather meager conditions, though she never truly wanted for much she never had much of anything extra. Her parents both worked two jobs to make ends meet with 4 kids to provide them with even the bare necessities. As such she was raised by her older brothers and sister quite a bit, and left to her own devices got into a bit of trouble.

There was a saying that if you weren’t off the res by 16 you were never leaving, and she soon found herself in the same position. Fortunately she managed to avoid getting pregnant like so many of her friends, and joined the tribal police. She rarely moved beyond the desk, as when she was out in the field she was prone to being slightly unreliable, as well as having outbursts. On one of those rare trips out into the field, she was involved in a high speed chase, a rare occurrence, when the patrol car was side swiped by a delivery truck. She survived, but barely.  3rd degree burns covered her face, her right arm was left with severe nerve damage and both knees were crushed beyond repair.

In the hospital, she wasn’t expected to last long, and even if she did her life was pretty much over. One of the doctor’s however, had a few colleagues who had risen to prominence in the government, and soon she was approached by a pair of faceless agents from the Vought International (not that they ever told her this in the beginning).  They offered her this deal: She would be made better. In exchange she would be whatever they wanted. She would go under their knives and compounds not knowing if she would wake up male, female, black, white, anything. They were anxious to try some new procedures on someone, and someone so incredibly willing…..well, they don’t come along every day do they?  She agreed without a second's hesitation, on the conditions that she be restored to physical grace, and that she was provided with a lifestyle and comfort level to what she always felt she deserved.

When she was “fixed” they decided to attempt to tune her powers at the same time to help heal her, because why not save some money? Using some left over “volunteers” they set about their work, and her body began to reshape itself under their attentions. When they got done, they had gifted her with the ability to heal herself, a new face, a new set of ears, and a perfectly photogenic new heroine for their group. Ethnically they left her mostly the same, though her face is nothing like what it was.

Her public origin is that she is the descendant of an ancient divine bloodline, and once every thousand years a new champion emerges to aid mankind in their darkest hour. It helps to pass of her costume as being from different standards and cultures, as well as playing it off as showing she isn't ashamed and has nothing to hide. ("Empowering.") She was registered as “dead” in her real life and her name is now legally Ime.

Relationships/Connections:

Secrets/Gossip:

• Obviously her biggest secret is her entire public origin is a lie. She has no connection to any sort of deity, despite what the PR department puts out there, and they’re well aware that her family, should they ever figure out what happened to her, could pose a problem. Hence her entirely new face.
• One piece of gossip is that she was one of Warden’s conquests.
• She will never ever ever admit it, but she finds the times Vought allows her to spend doing charity work in the hospital for patients very difficult emotionally.
• Her Death Touch is a bigger rush then any drug or feeling she's ever experienced before

[Bekah Boo]

Character:Marisol Goza | Spanish Frost
Player: Bekah Boo

Role: Member of the Seven
Powers/Special abilities:

• White out-A subsequent after effect from Marisol's chilly presence she is able to blanket her surrounding area in frigid cold to about the length of a football field, at least the last time it was actually recorded, the resulting temperature if exposed for too long causing temporary blindness and even sickness if unprepared.Those within the area usually recover but similar to ice blindness it can render a person blind if the exposure is too fierce or if Marisol really doesn't want someone to regain their sight.
• Frigid Touch-With her entire presence rattling at around 20 degrees Marisol is unaffected by extreme climates, although a small part of her does wish to feel warmth once more, the startling temperature often making actual physical embraces or blows all the more teeth chattering and if held on for too long can result in frost bite.The only real plus side to it all being small little parlor tricks such as cooling down an entire room with a touch to the wall, or freezing water in mid air.
• Icy Armor-Able to freeze water particles within the air Marisol is usually at all times able to conjure up literal ice that can spread across her body, the more humid the more surplus she can tap into and create literal armor of glaciers that can take a beating more than typical body armor can. There is a point of weakness however and the ice can shatter although against the usual crime cleanup Marisol hasn't run into the issue as of yet, same with intense heat as there is only one member she is wary of because of it. It's not something she cares to test as of yet for many reasons.
• Cold Fall- When particularly upset or emotional Marisol's powers fluctuate to bring upon sudden snow falls although only for a short distance; at around potentially three city blocks.This can range from a light dusting to an avalanche of blizzard like consistency depending on how truly upset she is and how quickly she can calm herself down, the more furious the more violent it can become as it isn't uncommon to feel the rage filled sting of hail shoot down from her vicinity with the impact that can shatter skulls if not under cover.
• Ice Creation-A rather new and still experimental area Marisol can conjure up her deadly ice in the form of objects, the more complex the tool the longer it takes to create. As of the moment she is quite proficient in making icy daggers as well as restraints, both she uses commonly although she is still testing the waters for other matters.

Personality:

• Honorable-Marisol does her best to do the right thing, having heard a thousand stories and even having been on the receiving end of being profiled a few times.Sometimes the world isn't kind especially to those who don't feel they have a voice and this is where Marisol gains her reputation of being the muffled voice for all, to help the weak and little man; but even Marisol knows that the world isn't strictly black and white. People are corrupt, they are cruel and those like herself already teeter on the fine edge of right and wrong, but Marisol keeps her code of conduct to help all those whom ask for it.Right and wrong are often skewed to begin with but if there is one matter that Marisol firmly stands by is the intentional harm of those who are defenseless, which has had some repercussions in the past but overall it is a matter she can not help.
• Reserved- Tight lipped when it comes to interviews Marisol is still personable if only to save face, when matters get a bit too personal however she does tend to shut down and keep to herself. She does what she can to keep the mask of civility in place despite the chaos that brews beneath, a much darker facet that the public certainly does not know about or will.
• Unbalanced-The darker side of Marisol is one that she does her best to keep hidden, less she appear weak in the eyes of her comrades and those she who look up to her. Her greatest fear is for all those who see her as a beacon of hope to on the verge of loosing the battle of her mental stability, the intense pressure and strive to be the poster icon further driving Marisol into the comforting numbness of various drugs in order to at least appear in some sense of control. Self doubt, fears, reputation and her own family's lives in the balance has resulted in growing concerns of Marisol's ability to cope, though at the present moment she seems to be holding it together with the thanks of MDMA (Or Molly) which has also somewhat improved her overall mood and personality if only for a few hours and then the cycle begins again.
• Show Face-As the daughter of undocumented immigrants Marisol feels the pressure of becoming the spokesperson for all Latins alike, that although her official story says otherwise, she is a beacon for those who dream the American dream and can achieve such no matter what the color of their skin. A role model for those documented or not Marisol does what she can to help those in hopes of gaining citizenship and pushes for rights as an ambassador of Latin America,Mexico and all those who wish for a better life in the great country of America.

History:

• Born to undocumented immigrants from a small village just outside of Veracruz, Mexico Marisol's parents dreamed to give their first daughter a chance of a life not filled with hardship and toil much like they had faced themselves, thus the lengthy travel to America in secrecy was done in her mother's last few months of the pregnancy. Despite the validity of their guide Marisol's parents were just as surprised to find themselves cornered by undercover ICE operatives, and the rough housing result left a panicked Maria on the floor in pangs of premature labor. In the rush of chaos that ensued and the admittance of having come over illegally, Maria was admitted to the hospital but under one condition. Her premature child would be taken as collateral with the guise that she would not only have citizenship but also could potentially earn their own if they followed instructions. 
• The goal of course was the newborn child would be injected with compound V in the promise she could be made into a role model with the potential of the marketing future opening up a whole new branding. So with the deal made and legal documents signed Marisol was given over to her parents for a respectful two days before the child was whisked off to a more suitable home to not only encourage her potential but also keep an eye on their investment.
• Getting visitation only once a month Marisol cherished the time spent with her parents who were nothing short but proud of their daughter despite the deplorable conditions they currently faced, Vought having certainly housed them but the term was loose at best. With the knowledge of their lack of citizenship Marisol's parents had to rely heavily on the meager allowance given to them to barely keep a roof over their heads, that once Marisol turned 18 did the realization that the corporation had long shipped her family back to Mexico due to 'political' policies. As the once bright eyed, and bushy tailed girl she was Marisol did not hesitate to join Vought and the Seven in the dream she could finally be reunited with her now growing family, of course with the pressure and limelight along with heroics, there was no preparing her for just how difficult it would truly all be.

Relationships/Connections:

Secrets/Gossip:

• Family Ties-Although from her official report Marisol is an American citizen, the reality is only she has citizenship as an deal made with joining the Seven. While they wanted to package a role model Marisol does all her hard work in the hopes that Vought International would hold up their end of the deal in ensuring her parents and siblings too can have the American dream, though as of present time she still has little word in the process and why it has taken so long. If she pushes too hard on the subject however she fears that she would be exposed and thus cost not only her own dream but that of her family, so she remains begrudgingly silent at least for now.
• Mental fragility/ Substance abuse-There's been a rumor of seeing the Spanish Frost exchanging favors with some shady persons in the dead of night, of seeing the clear change in personality as highs and lows more than usual; but of course nothing can be proven, even if confronted Marisol would deny it all the same.

[Primarch]

For anyone still interested in joining, I might advise there is only one position in the Seven remaining. For the moment any other characters would need to be non-powered executives/employees of Vought International. Thank you!

OOC & Character thread coming today, and hopefully our first IC thread.

[Kadigan]

Looking forward to it. If anyone's interested in connections, that sort send me a message and we can discuss it.

Also, I'm not sure I'm totally happy with her name, I basically googled Miracle and found that, but while that does seem a very businessy thing to do, it doesn't have much marketability to me. I'm open to suggestions on it.

[Primarch]

Last position on the Seven is now reserved while someone is putting together a character. Thank you!

[MingMing]

Oh godamnit...  I was literally writing my sheet and loading the Preview Screen every few minutes to save my progress... I didn't know we could ask to reserve the slot... :-(

[Primarch]

Oh godamnit...  I was literally writing my sheet and loading the Preview Screen every few minutes to save my progress... I didn't know we could ask to reserve the slot... :-(

No point wasting a character. Send me a PM with what you have and we'll work something out.  :-)

[MingMing]

Heya, I had closed my tabs, but I was able to save the character write-up!  I sent it to you in PM.  Hope it can be salvaged or used?

[Aiden]

I am highly intrested in playing a Vought suit that is motivated and fueled by power, wealth and cocaine.

Maybe a handler for one of the 7 or an executive that ranked up through nefarious means.

[Primarch]

Sounds perfect. Would fit right in.

[Bibliophilia]

Hey, Aiden!  -grins.-  You can handle my girl anytime.

[Primarch]

By the way, if anybody wants in on the Discord group, please send me a PM with your add. Cheers!

[Aiden]

Hey, Aiden!  -grins.-  You can manhandle my girl anytime.

Fixed that for you.

Pm incoming for discord

[Lyrical]

I'm also working up a young mundane human Business Intern for Vought and the supers to all abuse as they often do.

After talking to Primarch here is my Super submission:

Character: Ms. Fantastic
Player:  Sarita

Role: The Seven
Powers/Special abilities:

• Energy Absorbing:  Ms Fantastic can absorb multiple forms of energy (Important: see limitations). The first is heat; this includes ambient heat from the environment and from objects or fire. In the past she had absorbed heat from whole forest fires just walking through it and absorbing all the heat within a hundred yards at a time. Absorbing heat was her first display of power when she absorbed a house fire that occurred in her home both the fire and the absorption was accidental. It was later discovered that she may have demonstrated ambient heat absorption accidentally when she was younger and found a room too hot only to lower the room temperature subconsciously. She has since gained excellent control and mastery over this ability. If in a contained and sealed room the size of a football stadium she can theoretically absorb all of the energy until it is 0 degrees Kelvin (-273.15 C / -459.67 F). The second form of energy is electrical; this includes all forms of electricity, it's not unusual for the citizens of the cities that she's in to find her standing on top of building during storms and acting as a lightning rod for the storms. The third form of energy is kinetic; this includes all impact energy, if she concentrates she can literally keep objects/people from doing anything more then just touching her no matter how hard or fast they attempt to strike.  The fourth type is light (electromagnetic radiation); she can plunge a room into total blackness leaving no light at all unless it has a source to leak in from the outside. This would mean that even if someone had passive image intensifier goggles they would be unable to see in the dark as no light would exist for the purposes of intensification. The fifth type of energy is nuclear; during a nuclear meltdown at a power plant in Detroit she was called in to absorb all of the nuclear radiation that was released. In a matter of minutes she had fully depleted the nuclear stores of the power plant and after walking around the site she had absorbed all the free uranium radiation that had been released. The grounds are now considered free of contamination. The sum total of her ability to absorb energy is unknown and far to risky to test. Where the energy goes is unknown and that's a major part of the risk. All of the energy that is stored within in her is held in this unknown reservoir until she releases it.
• Energy expulsion:  Limitation - she cannot absorb and expel at the same time. However, when she does expel energy she has been known to do a lot instantly or let it come out in much smaller amounts. Maximum Release Examples  1) Release enough heat to in the form of a blast furnace like jet of flames able to melt steal and rock. Which can be sustained until her heat reserves are depleted.  2) Can send out arcing electricity, unfortunately it has a mind of it's own so unless she's touching the desired target it spreads out in a cone shape for about 100 feet up to the strength of several lightning bolts. 3) Release enough Kinetic energy to punch through the hull of a battle ship or shatter the side of a building with a single punch. She can do this repeatedly until the reserves within her are gone.  4) Can emit blinding light in all directions that if in an enclosed space will fully drown out all shadows and colors except true black. This depletion is the most rapid form of any energy depletion and drains almost instantly at this level. She usually prefer to use it like a flash grenade, hand based flash light,  or use it like a fully body glow.  5) Can either emit it like a nuclear meltdown or release it like a nuclear bomb blast. Although it's important to note that while she knows she can do this, she never has because the result would give her severe radiation poisoning and most likely death. The only way she's been able to successfully release any of the stored nuclear energy she has was by expelling it from her hand very slowly into a test chamber. The tests showed that she had a minor elevated level of radiation release form her hand for a day after. Tests were halted to allow it to dissipate and no new tests was undertaken. 
• Limitations:  She cannot expel and absorb at the same time. Switching back and forth from Electricity, Light, and Kinetic seems to be her fastest with near instant switching. Heat and Nuclear both take a couple seconds of concentration to switch between expulsion or absorption.  So far she has been able to accurately feel how much she has stored at any given time. The storing of the nuclear meltdown and another test involving a nuclear bomb blast seems to be about as much as she's comfortable of holding that type of energy.
• Flight:  She can not fly but with a release of kinetic energy she can leap a 20 storey building then switch to absorption and land on the other side. This can be directed in any direction she chooses so it could look like she's flying down the street when what she is actually doing is propelling herself swiftly with a directed blast of kinetic energy. Important to note that this will result in the shattering of pavement or stone (or whatever is behind her) in the opposite direction to give her the momentum to propel herself. Note: She wears specialty boots designed by Vought to allow her to do the leaping or she risks blowing the souls off of ordinary boots.

Personality:

• Confident:  In the media she is the darling of feminist ideals. #GirlPower She often speaks at events that involve creating equal pay for women, increasing job opportunities for women, she regular goes to schools and universities to give motivational TED style talks on believing in yourself #WomenAreTheFuture.  Behind the scenes she is all about that submissive lifestyle and seeks out fetish Dom/sub relationships.
• Humanitarian:  She is the head of several major charitable organizations that feed the hungry and homeless. Her primary charities revolve around helping feeding children in schools, helping single mothers get education and jobs with the intent of getting them out of the homelessness. Her motto is that Charity Begins At Home, by home she means in the US. California has a major homeless population and she runs 100's of soup kitchens in the state.
• Polite and Respectful:  For the world at large she is calm, happy, friendly, and a voice of justice for all. She always says please and thank you and is very accommodating for photo ops.  Behind the scenes she is still friendly but looks down on mundane people as pets that need to be tended to and cared for. Which is where a lot of her inspiration for the charities comes from. She just dresses it up with politeness for the media.

History:

• Maria's father was a powerful Hollywood Agent and minor film producer. When her mother died in child birth, Vought moved in and talked to him about baby Maria. They gave him the opportunity to make her a star. He fully agreed and she was immediately given the Compound V treatment. After that she was sent to private schools for the best education money could buy, given constant athletics training, and even a regimen of Martial Arts classes. Her youth was full of all the opportunity and training for Superhero stardom that money and corporate backing could provide. In her most early years they put her on Disney kids shows as co-star and background characters for a number of minor roles. She then did modelling and when she was old enough she started to compete in amateur athletics. The results were a slew of state level trophies and prizes. She was a bit of a minor celebrity in her private school and known to host the best parties containing real celebrities.
• Her powers manifested early with the absorbing of a minor kitchen fire in the home when she was young. With immediate training she gained control quickly. At the age of 16 after winning a state level Super of the Future competition she joined a California based Super Team. One of her first missions involved putting out/absorbing a major California wildfire that threatened hundreds of homes in a wealthy part of the state. Major media coverage ensued and she was signed up to join the Vought Families "Young Americans" Super team.
• Quickly being noted for her vast amount of power and already existing as well as rapidly growing fan base she was picked up and put into the 7 at the age of 20 being the second youngest to every join the team just behind Warden himself. That first year saw a meltdown occur at the Detroit Enrico Fermi nuclear power generating plant in 2013. Dropping Miss Fantastic (Maria) into the heart of the meltdown she absorbed all the radiation and fully cleaned the area in a matter of minutes saving possible catastrophes. The true story motion picture of that event is considered Vought's most successful drama film to date and winner of the most Academy Awards of any film in history. 

Relationships/Connections:

• Warden - She'll never say it out loud and will deny it if anyone asks but she's in love with Warden. It's more than that, she has an unhealthy obsession with him and Hero worshiping complex. There may even be a small shrine to him in her closet but no one has ever seen it if it does exist. Again, she'd deny it all. There is an extensive sexual history between them dating back to when she first joined the group. She's known to be contradictory about this with other members of the 7 and totally denies it in public. As far as the world is concerned they have a healthy mutual respect and excellent working relationship. She'll tell the media that Warden considers her his equal and that no woman could ask for someone better to work with.
• ... more to come

Secrets/Gossip:

• A journalist attempted to convince an unnamed senator to investigate the near nuclear meltdown disaster in Detroit. Even going to so far as to publish some internet blog posts about the Enrico Fermi plant being owned by a Vought affiliated holding company but no direct ties could ever be proven and the journalist dropped off the radar and out of the public eye. The blog was deleted and no major media outlets reposted this.
• Rumors of her hypersexual and submissive lifestyle have leaked in the past but were quickly dismissed as just male fantasy fiction. In reality all of her lovers related to those rumors are now missing or received NDA's and payoffs.

OOC thread - Feel free to use it for any plotting/discussion/asking questions

[Aiden]

Character: Victor Caine 

"Well there goes my next bonus."

Player: Aiden

Role: Executive for Vought international and handler
Powers/Special abilities: None, Vincent is a non modified (Classified) human.


Personality:

• Ambitious

Victor was not the “come up from the mailroom” success story. Once upon a time, he was a lawyer with a degree and a mountain of debt. He wanted to go out in the world and do good and the world took a shit on him. When he was picked up cheaply by Vought he was meant to be some paper pusher in the endless dungeons of the legal department but Victor refused to let that shit continue. He began to work hard, not that bootstrap bullshit, he lied, betrayed, fucked and blackmailed his way to the top.

• Charismatic

Victor overly toothy smile and ability to be jovial when needed has done a lot for his career. Underestimating Victor is the worst mistake a person can do but when he needs to turn on the charm, he cleans up well and can hang with World Leaders and the “Upper Crust” of society if it will benefit him in some way.

• Sociopath Evil

Take what you wish from the meaning. Some would call it selfish, cruel, demanding. Your feelings don’t matter when his bottom line is at stake (and Vought’s interest he supposes). Your problems are inconveniences that will be removed or be your demise. Victor isn’t about to go and kick over a basket of puppies, he might adopt the little fuckers and roll around on the floor in his office until he gets bored. Feelings are temporary annoyances, be it; lust, love, obsession, joy or sadness, get your shit together and get back to fucking work.


History:

• Before Vought

Victor grew up in the middle of bumfuck-nowhere, Texas where his future consisted of oil drilling or farming. He took the first bus out of that shit hole, enlisted in the army and served long enough to finish school and get his law degree. His attempts to find work failed and out of desperation accepted a paralegal type role with Vought. Those early days were shit, he lived out of his car, could barely afford a living. Once he reached his limit he decided to make a change.

• Early Days with Vought and the rise of Victor Caine 

Victor was good at collecting information and slowly began to put together various pieces that would make him look good. He did not hesitate to throw those around him under the bus or direct fire. He did not expect others to risk themselves for him and didn't for them. He made his way to the "middle" of some legal team that was sent overseas to secure contracts and paperwork for the various supe-babies. In Russia, he managed to finalize a deal that brought Talia Zolotov into his and Vought's hands. His work was noticed at the top and soon enough he was acting legal liaison between European relations and Vought.

• Excutive Caine

Victor continued to make his name for himself within the company, increasing his status and wealth respectively. He secured deals, acted on the company's behalf and was perceived as loyal. Why shouldn't be loyal? Vought made him rich and provided a lifestyle even the wealthy yearned for. The transition from liaison to handler was easy, he not longer dealing with entire countries, instead, he handled a few supers and secured them and himself some very profitable contracts. Talia Zolotov is currently his supe he represents, among others.



Relationships/Connections:

• Talia Zolotov

The relationship between him and Talia began when he secured a great future for her parents in exchange for rights and access to her once she was born. While he had no contact after the contracts were signed he did keep his part of the deal and made sure Talia's father rise with the force went smoothly. He met the young woman nearly two decades later when he became her handler and continues to oversee her best interest.

[Bibliophilia]

Character: Jordan Armitage
Player: Bibliophilia

Role: Crime Analytics and Incident Preparedness
Special (Non-Super) Abilities:

• Data Analysis and Probabilities Mapping - One of the main crime analysts for The Seven, Jordan earned his spot working for the prestigious team via his uncanny knack with mathematics and forecasting probabilities.  Gifted with an eidetic memory and the ability to rapidly sort through large data sets in his head, he is capable of working through the necessary information to make certain the Supes are where they need to be and when they need to be there far more efficiently and reliably than most people.
• Chaos Theorist - Often, Jordan is tasked with reviewing old, uncut film of battles fought by The Seven, so that he can better understand the possible outcomes of various incidents.  It might surprise others how easy it can become to predict certain paths any particular type of incident might veer down, depending on the circumstances.  For Jordan, however, he has gotten quite good at mapping various types of crime and criminals, and has been able to provide the potentialities to the writers for scripting their heroes reactions.
• Computer Savage - Capable of typing over 100 wpm and fluent in most programming languages, Jordan is a genius when it comes to anything computers, though he's better with a keyboard than he is at building them (so far).  He is quite skilled at computer hacking, decryption and unraveling malicious code, and helped design the extensive firewalls and safeguards that protect Vought's system.

Personality:

• Unassuming - Content to remain unnoticed and only stepping out of the background when called upon to explain his findings to the team, Jordan has no desire for the limelight that surrounds the Seven wherever they go.  He likes his quiet life, where the closest he gets to fame is detailing some bit of info on a Supe's itinerary.  Or walking them through the forecasted cause and effect map on a semi-scripted battle.  He sees how messed up the Supes are and is secretly pleased he is allowed to live without such burdens.
• Painfully Nerdy - If you couldn't tell from his special abilities, Jordan is a nerd to the nth degree.  He not only loves math and programming, but he spends his nights playing video games, attends conventions, owns many walls full of fantasy and sci-fi books, comics and movies, and has a one-eyed, orange, tabby rescue named Rincewind.  He works for Vought because he's dreamed of working with Supes since he was a kid, and after college he applied to Vought expecting - at best - a polite rejection letter.
• Patient - His whole life, Jordan has largely been around people who didn't make connections the way he could and this, along with being forced to attend public schools, has cultivated a deep well of patience in him.  He never talks down to, or gets frustrated with, people who aren't intelligent in the same ways he is.  He knows that cleverness comes in many different forms, and he would feel stung if someone more competent in something he sucks at were to treat him like an idiot for being bad at it, so he doesn't want to make anyone else feel that way.  So, when he needs to explain things to The Seven, or even a member of their team, he doesn't get upset or condescending.  This actually makes him one of the better liked members of his department.

History:

• Jordan's father passed away when he was 12, and afterward his mother had to work hard to keep the two of them going, despite her grief.  He did everything he could to help, happily taking care of the house so that when she got home from work - in a Vought International merchandising warehouse - she could relax.  The two of them were quite close, and though she often lamented her inability to afford the private schools she felt her 'brilliant' boy deserved, Jordan never resented having to attend public schools.  While he often got bullied and his classes didn't challenge him, he knew that his mother was doing the best she could.
• He graduated valedictorian, which wasn't terribly surprising to anyone, and was accepted to M.I.T. on a partial scholarship that he was able to supplement working as a waiter.  In his second year at school, his mother passed away from a stroke, something he was fairly convinced was a result of the stress she'd endured since his father's death.  He paid for her modest funeral out of his savings, and the meager life insurance pay out from Vought for her death on the job, then sold their house and returned to school to finish out the entirety of his Master's degree in Applied Mathematics.
• After he graduated, with several job offers already on the table, he mailed his CV to Vought International headquarters at the encouragement of his girlfriend at the time.  Not expecting to ever hear anything back, he began the difficult process of deciding between the positions already offered to him.  Just when he was about to accept an offer from a small, private university for an assistant professorship, he received a phone call asking when he would be available for a video interview with the head of the Crime Analysis department at Vought Incorporated.  After that...well, he's still reeling.

Relationships/Connections:

Secrets/Gossip:

• Some of Jordan's coworkers are convinced that his skills with probabilities and mental acuity are actually the result of a secret superpower, one which isn't strong enough to ever benefit him outside of a mundane desk job, but still...it soothes their bruised egos to think his abilities aren't 'natural'.
• There's a rumor floating around that Jordan's relatively rapid rise in the company is the result of him being the 'favorite' of one of The Seven, either past or present, with a different name being thrown around each time the rumor comes up.  And, they say, it's not his math skills the Supe wants him for.
