A DC Universe Of Our Own (Mutants & Masterminds Variant)

[Norsegod1839]

Excellent idea Wander! I will do the OOC

I can't really do the IC until we figure out what beside it just being starro we are doing plot wise! Also has everyone finished their character sheets?

[Foxy DeVille]

Really wanting to get in on this but I keep running into my aversion to number crunching in chargen (Barbie is right, math is hard). I used to use HeroLab but that won't work on a Chromebook. So I'm trying to find old characters I can adapt like I did Shanna for the Marvel game.

[Norsegod1839]

Foxy Wander and TF are both amazing at getting a conversion or helping!

[Foxy DeVille]

I thinking this character might be fun use. Maybe give her the Bookworm, perhaps have her actually be Barbara Gordon. Or use the stats for Princess from 3e player's book for Wonder Girl because this pic is pretty sweet.

[Norsegod1839]

My vote would be for wonder girl! If only because we need another of the big three!

[Foxy DeVille]

I'm leaning that way too. A nice basic face-puncher would be easier to handle as well.

[Norsegod1839]

And I am looking for a strong warrior to maybe pair batman up with! So even better!

[TheVillain]

I'm surprisingly tempted to write up a (slightly) more heroic version of Mr. Nobody if we're going against Starro.

[wander]

I'm a fan of both Donna Troy and Cassie Sandsmark, so I approve of Wonder Girl coming in!

Don't forget to link us the OOC thread when it's done, EL! 

[TheVillain]

Ah, what the hell - just for some Fun.

Mr. Nobody

Section 1: The Basics

Hero: Mr. Nobody

Player: TheVillain

Identity: Eric Morden

Secret Or Public: Secret, the Public is currently unaware that Mr. Nobody exists (though he intends to change that with his upcoming Presidential Bid)

Section 2: Physical Description

Gender: Male

Age: 40+

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 0 lbs

Eye color: Red

Hair Color: Bald

Optional Face Claim: N/A

Section 3: Personal History

Personality: In a word, completely and utterly insane. A gleeful Nihilist who seems dedicated to exposing the Absurdity of Existance and promoting Unreason, Mr. Nobody still manages to come off as a strangely charismatic anarchist who cares about everyone. He doesn't want to hurt anybody, he wants to open their eyes. It's not his fault most people can't handle it.

Biography: In life, he was Eric Morden - a middle management lackey for the Brain with the Brotherhood of Evil. A little better with machines then the normal minion and as such frequently got to meet up with the bigger named villains in that organization. He worked with Nazis, Freaks, and Monsters on a daily basis and he quietly did his job. He thought that was somehow commendable.

Until one of those said Nazis turned on him and forced him into an experiment known only as "The White Room". The experience more then drove him insane, it turned Eric Morden into Mister Nobody, the Virtual Man. Now convinced that the universe was "at best a drooling idiot with no fashion sense", Mr. Nobody now claims to see the truth of how pointless existance really is and in his mind he's just spreading the Gospel of Unreason.

And weirdly, it's working. The Brotherhood of Evil has reportedly collapsed from the inside as his very existance seems to drive more order-minded beings insane. Reportedly, the entire Nazi branch of the Brotherhood of Evil has already been reduced to gibbering fools and suicides. And he has plans for more, oh yes - he's already considering a Brotherhood of Dada to take up where his former bosses got it wrong. Namely that Good and Evil are - at best - outdated concepts. In truth, there is only Dada.

Group Affiliation: None Currently, though he is considering forming his own team like the Brotherhood of Evil - a Brotherhood of Dada.

Base Of Operations: None Currently

Section 4: Equipment

Costume: Mr. Nobody is frequently seen wearing a pair of leather gloves and may need to wear them to physically interact with objects. Their origins are unkown.

Powers:
The Abstract Man - Mr. Nobody's body appears to now be made of "Virtual Mass". As such he appears to no longer need to eat, breathe, or sleep and he seems to be naturally intangable. This isn't completely true in all cases however, he still can be moved against his will by telekinetics for example.

The Man Who Wasn't There - Mr. Nobody's body appears to be made of a 3D shadow with a heart shaped hole over his heart, but even then it seems to not quite work. He's said to look like you're just seeing him out of the corner of your eye, even when you're looking right at him. While not exactly invisible, this does make him significantly stealthier then a normal human when he wants to be.

The Patron Saint of Insignificance - Mr. Nobody seems able to project some sort of psychic attack that drains sanity from those around him. Projecting a state of playful insanity, this has been likened to an Anti-Mind-Control ability that even strips away a person's ability to control their own mind. Mr. Nobody seems able to project this ability even across television screens or to narrow it down to selectively target one person for a more powerful and possibly permenant version of the effect.

Other: Mr. Nobody's insanity seems particularly effective against particularly organized and neferious minds. He blasts threw the minds of Nazis like they're tissue paper and he's a randy teenager discovering his sexual drives. Between his Sanity Draining psychic powers and his Abstract physiology he is not only immune to Starro probes but he appears to be poisonous to any that come close by.

Which means, just as he always suspected, the Anarchists will save the world. Assuming Mr. Nobody can keep his attention long enough.

[Foxy DeVille]

OK, still needed to type out the stats after doing a few tweaks to make them more to my liking but here's an idea where I'm going...

Section 1: The Basics

Hero: Wonder Girl

Player: Foxy Oni

Identity: Cassandra "Cassie" Elizabeth Sandsmark

Secret Or Public: Secret

Section 2: Physical Description

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Height: 5' 5"

Weight: 124 lbs

Eye color: Brown

Hair Color: Blonde (as Wonder Girl)/Brown (as Cassie)

Optional Face Claim: Shay Laren via Heromorph

Section 3: Personal History

Personality: Cassie is genuinely a good kid who cares about other people, most especially her mother. She knew immediately that her powers were meant to help people. Wonder tries to do as much as she can as while as present a good role model for other girls. Sometimes the weight of responsibility makes her lash out violently while fighting evil. Cassie has also become something of a party girl to deal with the stress of her alter ego, soring alcohol when she can and being a bit of a sucker for bad boys, especially ones with fast cars. 

Biography: Cassie is the daughter of Doctor Helena Sandsmark, an archaeologist with the Gateway City Museum of Antiquities. All she know about her father was that he was a British soldier named Lennox and she hasn't seen him since she was four years old. When she was fourteen, Cassie accompanied her mother on a dig at an Amazonian ruin in Greece. Cassie accidentally freed a gorgon imprisoned there. When the creature attacked Helena, her daughter grabbed a pair of silver bracelets to hit the gorgon with. To Cassie's amazement, the bracelets flowed onto her wrists and she felt herself charged with power. With her newfound might, she defeated the gorgon and imprisoned it back within the ruins.

Returning to Gateway City with her mother, Cassie spent the next couple years as a sporadic adventurer called Wonder Girl. Recently Helena has decided to allow her daughter more freedom in her super-heroic career and the Princess of Power has become a more visible presence. But can Cassie handle school, boys, and being Wonder Girl?

Group Affiliation: Wonder Girl is loosely affiliated with other teen heroes but this is more of a semi-regular social group than a proper crime-fighting team.

Base Of Operations: Gateway City, California.

Section 4: Equipment

Costume: A custom red sleeveless half-tee with a gold "W" and blue jeans decorated with white stars, giving a look that works both as a super-hero and on the street.

Equipment/ Gadgets: Silver bracelets that allow her to change from Cassie to Wonder Girl by striking them together over her head, protecting her identity without the need for a mask.

[TFcommando]

Having everyone work out a relation or case they had with another PC before coming together as the Justice League might help too.

[Valerian]

Ivy already has a prior connection with the Flash, though aside from that it isn't likely anyone else really knows her since she's still fairly new to the hero game.  Someone more science-oriented might certainly know of her, though.

[wander]

Fudge yeah we got a smexeh Cassie!! 

Connections is a fairly good idea to talk on character dynamic and the potential for triggering each other's Complications and general role-play goodness. Everyone feel free to PM me about connecting to the Flash, seeing as he's probably at a guessing glance gonna be the most friendly of the League. 

[Metraxa]

Alright, so I ging a shot. Thanks to TF for helping with the numbers and such

Hero: Livewire
Player: Metraxa
Identity: Leslie Willis
Secret Or Public: Public

Gender: Female
Age: 27
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 159 lb
Eye color: Light Blue
Hair Color: Blue

Optional Face Claim:

Section 3: Personal History

Personality: A brash person, Leslie isn’t afraid to speak her mind and knows how to hold a grudge. She’s not a bad person, but has a tendency to lash out at those she sees as responsible for her problems. Of course it can be hard to determine what she actually thinks, since so much of the time she holds to a cultivated image made to either piss people off or to get them on her side.

What she does hate, well, misogyny, people who only like her because she’s attractive, that sort of thing. For the moment she’s reformed but who knows how long that will end up lasting.

Biography: Born in Metropolis, Leslie Willis was the daughter of a middle aged pencil pusher, someone that she was very sure she did not want to be. Moving through college she eventually found her calling in radio, where she clawed and scraped her way from the bottom up, dealing with traffic detail, backstage work, and using every favor and dirty deed she could get to advance herself up in a field that did not want her to progress on an equal footing with the big boys. At least in her mind.

Eventually she managed to get a gig as a late night talk show host, in what was basically a dead zone of air. She needed some way to get an edge, and soon found it courtesy of Lex Luthor. She launched on a bold new tangent, defying her producers and going after the Golden Boy of Metropolis, Superman. Much to their shock it worked, and her career took on new dimensions and heights as she went about offending basically everyone famous and somehow getting away with it too. Soon enough she was the buzz of the town.

It all came to an end at her birthday celebration, held in one of the city's parks during a rainstorm. The inclement weather turned stormy and soon the crowd was dispersed. Leslie was struck by a bolt of lightning which had previously passed through Superman in trying to save her, resulting in the strange accident that gifted her her powers.

Afterwards she became a villain, blaming Superman for her condition and clashing with the hero on multiple occasions. However through the hard work of Superman himself as well as some others, she managed to lay her grudge to rest and has reformed, and is now looking to give this whole 'hero' business a shot. It can't be worse than being a villain, right?

Power Loss (Silica Dust)- Silica Dust touching her can neutralize Livewire's powers.
Power Loss (Recharging)- Livewire must occasionally recharge herself, or lose power.
Vulnerable & Weakness (Water Attacks)- Touching Water will completely short Livewire out, often KOing her immediately.
Bad Reputation - Before becoming Livewire Leslie made a living off of offending people, then afterwards she had a stint as a supervillain. For some reason people have held a grudge.

Icon

The Basics
Legal Name: Augustus Freeman IV / Real Name: Arnus Feema
Age: Apparent age 28/ true age: 178
Gender: Male
Nationality: Terminia, US Citizen – Altanta, GA
Occupation: Lawyer



Physical Description
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 250 lbs. (114 kg)
Face Claim: Michael Jai White
Physical Features: Augustus is a physically fit rather handsome black man.  He can be charming when he is not grilling you out of your money.  He generally wears suits and ties.  He is in pretty good shape.  He wears glasses to make his eyes appear solid brown even though they are brown/green.  He hasn’t decided on going bald yet, but he did back in his past and he liked the look as well. 
General Appearance:   Dark skinned male muscular but he covers it mostly as he is a lawyer, but wears well made tailored suits.  He is relaxed in pants and polo shirts.  Rarely in sweats if ever.   He wears glasses to try to hide his face.  He slouches to not appear as tall as Icon.   In his mask his eyes appear white; naturally they are brown-green.

Icon wears a costume composed of alien materials that grant him further protection from projectile weaponry, energy beams, and intense heat or cold. On his command, the Info Tool aboard his starship uses its Maker to construct Icon's costume over his civilian clothing. When no longer needed, the costume is disassembled, converted back to energy, and stored in the structural files of his ship's Info Tool.

Personality and History

Personality

Icon is portrayed as a very intelligent, somewhat stiff kind of person. Due to his upper-class job as a corporate lawyer and "proper" way of speaking, he is often criticized as being a "sell out" or "white washed". Icon usually prefers to do everything by the book instead of acting on instinct.  He has worked hard to make things more equal for all.  He is far from desiring to participate in separation of people and cultures, he had experienced enough of that during slavery.  Now he wasn’t to make a change and make things better for all people.

Biography

Summary:
Before Earth
Born Arnus on Terminia, he eventually joined the galactic council known as the “Cooperative”, where he was essentially a lawyer. After adjudicating a very disagreeable situation, involving the criminal Oblivion he took a vacation. On the interstellar pleasure cruise line however, the ship came under attack, and he was forced to crash land his already damaged pod on the nearest planet, Earth.
Slavery
Arnus crash landed on earth in 1839 on a cotton plantation. His life pod recreated his body by duplicating the DNA of the nearest life form, a slave woman. As a human infant he learned the local language and the caste system of slavery based on skin tone. He grew to love his earth mother Miriam. Arnus later discovered he had superhuman powers and immortality. He used his powers secretly to lighten the load of his fellow slaves and aiding a resistance movement dedicated to freeing slaves known as the “underground railroad”. Here he bid his time in hopes that Earth’s technology would catch up to his own allowing his ship to be repaired. By the time he was fifteen. Slavery was abolished and he took the last name “Freeman”, he also fought in the Civil war against Slavery.
Due to his mutated Terminan body, he has virtual immortality, which he has managed to keep from the public by assuming the identity of his “son” throughout the years. Following the War, he attended “Fist University” where he studied law and “passed the bar’ in several states, thus able to support him. This allowed him to retrieve his pod.
Harlem Renaissance
During a time of great artistic renewal known as the Harlem renaissance, he met and fell in love with Estelle Jackson, and they later married. After the disappointment by the era’s unfulfilled promise they left the country, living as expatriates in France. During World War II he fought with the allies against Nazi Germany in hopes that the united front against racial segregation would lead to more racial unity in the Americas. After the War, he and his wife returned to America. Racism reappeared even more fervently than before, though in 1964 under Martin Luther King blacks gained “legal parity’ with their white brethren.
With his wife’s encouragement he increased his heroics though he never went public, this lead to rumors of a “mystery man”. During this time, they also realized their genetic incompatibility prevented them from having children. In 1977 his wife died of Cancer; This left him even more emotionally distant than before as he now lived only to return home. He blamed himself for her death since he knew his pod could have saved her if he had known how to fix it in time. He moved to Dakota, away from Harlem to escape the memories and pain of his wife’s passing.
In the present, Arnus is still with us. He did not age visibly beyond adulthood; to disguise this fact, he periodically assumed the identity of his own son.  By the late 20th century, he was posing as Augustus Freeman IV, the great-grandson of his original human identity. Still marooned, Augustus waits for Earth's technology to catch up to his lifepod's.  Secretly possessing superpowers that believes his human appearance, he has always performed quiet acts of charity.   Now he is seeking to more publicly defend the weak, bring hope to all people and make a change from inside the system, even the superheroic one.
