We Could Be Heroes; A Sexy Superhero RP 2nd Arc Recruitment! MALES NEEDED!

[Vergil Tanner]

Ok...and how would that manifest in game? Obviously if you were going to make him semi incorporeal on a permanent basis, I'd want it to - at least at the start - actually inconvenience him rather than just happening whenever it was convenient.

[Hazy Sky]

I figured I'd actually start with him pretty much unable to control it. One moment he's holding a mug of coffee. The next it drops to the floor having fallen through his fingers. Over time he'd learn to control it more and learn to use it. As a side effect he's also entirely lost his sense of touch and pressure, which can make him clumsy and awkward and adds to a sense of isolation that he feels.

In game his smoke form would eventually manifest mostly in combat for evasion and deception and bypassing obstacles, flowing through keyholes, down air vents, under doors, that sort of thing.

The life drain would come in there as well, given he can't eat as such any more and his teleportation and manifesting weapons would be the ultimate expression of his ability to manipulate his form.

He would be a hand to hand fighter up until he's managed to master his curse. Once he's mastered his ability he would be able to flow from solid to smoke form at will and control his that cloud and its movements. That will take him a long time and a lot of training and practice though.

He's probably going to be a bit dark and withdrawn. Not being able to touch anyone and then not able feel it when he can or eat, having to steal life from others is likely to be tough on anyone.

[Vergil Tanner]

So, whilst the idea is an intriguing one, I do feel that I need to be extremely clear here.

If you choose "Smoke Form" as his Power, you are not getting Teleportation and Life Stealing. Not only do we already have a teleporter, but these two powers don't really connect on a thematic level with the Smoke Form, and this is not a high power level game. In this scale of game, all three of those could be solo powers in and of themselves, which would make this character far, far more powerful on balance than everybody else. So I do need to say right now that you will only be getting one power, not three or four.

[Hazy Sky]

Ah ok. Sorry I misunderstood you. Then just smoke/wraith form as his main ability. The life drain thing I can keep at a purely thematic detail rather than anything he actually uses or relies upon if you're alright with that? So he just can't eat and has to find another, slightly more gruesome way to sustain himself.

[Vergil Tanner]

Um...still hesitant on letting it be a "Thematic Thing" since it would still be technically an ability he can actually use on things, y'know? It still leaves it open for you to use and is another thing the character can do outside of his "main Ability." If you're worried about sustaining himself in Smoke Form, you could just have it that when he gets hungry enough, his body doesn't have the strength to maintain his Smoke Form and reverts to "normal." But I can't let you have effectively a second power, even for thematic reasons. It would kind of unbalance the game.

Name: Rachel Ray Masters (Or Rae)
Sex: Female
Position: Student
Archetype: Gamer geek
Power Type: Strengthened Body- Denser body, increased strength and endurance, but not impervious.


Rachel started as a scrawny 5'2 tiny thing of nothing, after THE EVENT she wakes up a whole foot taller and with a figure only seen in comic books. She would be stronger than most weightlifters, and she can take a beating better than most. Her body would be much denser than it should be thus making her much heavier than a regular person her height and body type should be. Swimming is more difficult, among other things. Getting shot or stabbed will make her bleed, blunt trauma less concerning, too much can still be bad.

Hello stranger~

I'm Pen, a resident admin here for WCBH and I will be reviewing your character today.

Okay, so, the power you've chosen is perfectly within our parameters; however, it's very similar to an already existing character who has Peak Human Athletic Prowess. Strength being one of them.

BUT your saving grace here is the increased density and limited invincibility your character has. Yay! So, might I suggest focusing on the density aspect of your characters power with strength being only a side effect?

Of course, if you would like to change powers, that's fine too.

[Vergil Tanner]

On my phone! Just gonna chime in and say that strength is fine; if Nadra is the Jack of all trades, she can be the Master of Strength. We're not gonna say "no speedsters" because Nadra can run fast, right?

Assuming Jarick doesn't mind of course

I figured the density would be a valid reason for it to be thus, but you think there is more to do about this?

She can be the water the fills the holes, I'll be the nail that makes the hole.

[Vergil Tanner]

Ok, so, I'm back!

Now, the first thing I'll say is that there are different types of strength. Can I assume you mean "Lifting / punching strength" rather than "running and jumping strength?" The work different muscles after all!

Second, we need to sort out some basic limits for your power:

1) In game, it is currently about two weeks after The Event. Now given that the average female should be able to Deadlift around half her bodyweight, how much stronger do you reckon she is? Obviously not strong enough to lift a car, being a Day One game, so I need some Beginner level Limits here to get an idea of what you're thinking.

2) What strength level do you see her being when she's reached the apex of her abilities? How much do you see her lifting above her head when she's matured and fully mastered her powers?

3) How tough do you see her being? Complete invincibility is off the table, of course, so...what kind of hits do you see her taking, and what would they do to her? Same as above, I'd need some Novice, Intermediate and Master level limits (EG, what a car hitting her would do to her body).

4) What are the downsides / weaknesses to her power? Does she burn through carbs more? Does she get tired quicker after exertion? Etc etc.

5) On her as a person, you say she's a "Gamer Nerd." Who do you see her hanging out with? What kind of nerd is she? Is she well known, or does she stick to the outsides of the school a little?

[PentheWonderful]

I figured the density would be a valid reason for it to be thus, but you think there is more to do about this?

Well I was thinking something along the lines of density manipulation. For instance, being dense enough to break through concrete or airy enough to pass through walls. Just my two cents though. It's really up to you and the GM.

[Vergil Tanner]

Hey, you have a say too You're my 2iC and Chief Advisor, after all

[PentheWonderful]

That is an intriguing concept, though not what I was feeling for Rae. I will backlog this idea for another time though.

1.) A car in the start? No, why too much. Maybe 300 to 500 ibs? That's max and she is trying. Far more than a normal, well muscled girl can do.

2.) This might be the time of the car lift and chuck. If possible ripping the car in half once they have completely matured, but that is long done the road and she has to be pissed.

3.) As stated, this is more blunt ability. She could go through a good series of fights in a gauntlet before it took its toll on her. Or hit with bigger things. Right now a car would have a dent and she would be out after flying from the hit. The end game, the car would crumple and she wound be bent over the hood saying "FUCKING ow..."

4.) Well first, she has zero control over her strength, this will break things with ease. Two, the density makes her heavier than a normal girl and make her sink or break things not meant for excessive weight. Three, I can see her needed to eat a lot to fuel her body, her output is a bit ridiculous for a normal person, so more fuel needed. Four, she will need to concentrate to not overdo herself, breaking enough doors makes you realize this. So to help calm herself, she sings out loud and not stress herself. Five, she has a temper and can lose herself in her strength because she got mad. Gamer rage!

5.) She sticks with the geeks mostly, talking about games, comics, anime and the like. She was well known as the tiny scrawny weirdo girl, but that will change from her appearance. She is the time to wear game shirts, hoodies and Tripp pants for all the pockets to carry various handhelds like a vita/psp in one and a 3ds in another.

[Vergil Tanner]

1.) A car in the start? No, why too much. Maybe 300 to 500 ibs? That's max and she is trying. Far more than a normal, well muscled girl can do.

Hmmm...no, way too much. This is Day One, as in, literally only a week or two after they first got their powers. So I personally would say a maximum of 1 or 200 lbs in her first couple of weeks, ramping up as she gets more experience.

2.) This might be the time of the car lift and chuck. If possible ripping the car in half once they have completely matured, but that is long done the road and she has to be pissed.

Hmm, ok. As an Apex...how about ten or twenty tons? This is far in the future, when she's reached the absolute limit of her abilities, obviously.

3.) As stated, this is more blunt ability. She could go through a good series of fights in a gauntlet before it took its toll on her. Or hit with bigger things. Right now a car would have a dent and she would be out after flying from the hit. The end game, the car would crumple and she wound be bent over the hood saying "FUCKING ow..."

So she still feels pain, it's just the raw damage that the car has done to her physically? I think that at the start, it would make sense if a car hitting her still broke bones, but didn't kill her. At Mastery Level, I have no issue with what you've described. How does her endurance affect things like knives, bullets and punches to sensitive areas? Does it make things like her eyes harder to injure?

That all makes sense! Her weight will increase as she gains power, presumably. How much more does she have to eat? Twice the average? Three times?

5.) She sticks with the geeks mostly, talking about games, comics, anime and the like. She was well known as the tiny scrawny weirdo girl, but that will change from her appearance. She is the time to wear game shirts, hoodies and Tripp pants for all the pockets to carry various handhelds like a vita/psp in one and a 3ds in another.

Hmmm, ok. How much is her appearance changing? Is it just like, taller, more statuesque, but obviously her? Or is it like the difference between 12 year old Emma Watson and 23 year old Taylor Swift?

[RobyntheWitch]

Hmmm...no, way too much. This is Day One, as in, literally only a week or two after they first got their powers. So I personally would say a maximum of 1 or 200 lbs in her first couple of weeks, ramping up as she gets more experience.

I suppose that is impressive for a start, slightly tame, but this is the beginning.

Hmm, ok. As an Apex...how about ten or twenty tons? This is far in the future, when she's reached the absolute limit of her abilities, obviously.

That is perfect and shows immense growth.

At Mastery Level, I have no issue with what you've described. How does her endurance affect things like knives, bullets and punches to sensitive areas? Does it make things like her eyes harder to injure?

Bullets will go through, knives will stab, and a punch to the tut still smarts. Though the tit can take it far better now. Later she might be about to take the bullet and the knife better, but right now its best to avoid these if possible. Eyes are a spot I don't think ever gets stronger, can eyeballs get denser?

That all makes sense! Her weight will increase as she gains power, presumably. How much more does she have to eat? Twice the average? Three times?

I would say three times, buffets hate her.

A foot taller and from a stick to a figure like this one. All of the density has to go somewhere and her natural body works into muscle and curvature.

Yes I know I have to find a more realistic face, and I shall.

[Vergil Tanner]

I suppose that is impressive for a start, slightly tame, but this is the beginning.

Haha, yeah, this is a lower power scale; think more like Daredevil and Jessica Jones and Taskmaster, rather than Hulk and Superman and Thor

Right-ho. What marks them as things that hurt? Is it like in Pathfinder where you might have DR against everything BUT Bludgeoning attacks? Like...she's resistant to Blunt Force, but still susceptible to pierce and slash?

I would say three times, buffets hate her.

Her mother hates her now too xD

Beat me to the punch I can help with that if you need it.

[RobyntheWitch]

Haha, yeah, this is a lower power scale; think more like Daredevil and Jessica Jones and Taskmaster, rather than Hulk and Superman and Thor

Still, a girl who deadlifts 200 punching you? Ouch.

Right-ho. What marks them as things that hurt? Is it like in Pathfinder where you might have DR against everything BUT Bludgeoning attacks? Like...she's resistant to Blunt Force, but still susceptible to pierce and slash?

Yeah, resists blunt force as it splash over her dense body, but piercing and cutting are too much right now.

Her mother hates her now too xD

I have no doubts, eats them out of house and home!

Beat me to the punch I can help with that if you need it.

I got a few I sent in a PM to you.

[Vergil Tanner]

Still, a girl who deadlifts 200 punching you? Ouch.

Well, anybody who can deadlift 200 lbs punching you...

Yeah, resists blunt force as it splash over her dense body, but piercing and cutting are too much right now.

Ok...and how do you see that altering as she grows more powerful? Will she ever be able to shrug off piercing attacks like they didn't happen, or will you always be able to cut her somehow?

I have no doubts, eats them out of house and home!

And out of the car, too

[RobyntheWitch]

Well, anybody who can deadlift 200 lbs punching you...

Fair enough!

Ok...and how do you see that altering as she grows more powerful? Will she ever be able to shrug off piercing attacks like they didn't happen, or will you always be able to cut her somehow?

Eventually yes, they will leave marks that will fade, but that's still down the way.

And out of the car, too

Oh dear...

[Vergil Tanner]

Eventually yes, they will leave marks that will fade, but that's still down the way.

Hmm...so, bulletproof...not sure how I feel about that. How would you feel about pistols and small arms bruising - maybe fracturing bones - but larger things like MG's and whatnot still being able to penetrate? And super strong blades wielded by The Hulk, for example

Speaking of, does she have a limit on the punishment? EG, Superman Vs Doomsday, and Supergirl Vs Reign.

That's fair, can't have her unbeatable, it would get pretty stupid.

I figure she does, I just don't know how to calculate it I suppose.

[Vergil Tanner]

No need to calculate it, justnl give some general examples Eh, small arms, small vehicles, etc etc. Don't need to give exact numbers, but some general examples for "tiers" and we can sort it out as it happens in game.

Right now blades, small fire arms, and a small car seem approriate! That car will put her in her ass.

[Vergil Tanner]

OK so! Edit everything into your bio, and repost it with an exhaustive account of the limits and limitations and whatnot. So starting and ending strength levels, weaknesses, durability, etc etc. When you've done that, I'll go through it one last time and once that's done hopefully we can move you to the next stage
