Fandom Earth-117 (A Marvel Superhero RP)

[WanderingScribe]

Its been 15 years since that fateful day, 15years since the Avengers, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, even a few so called villains stopped Death from unleashing her wrath. At the cost of their own lives. Heroes are gone now, dead or missing as far as the public knows. But the fire of justice and heroism still burns bright in the heart of the world's youth. In New York City, where Avengers Tower once stood proud a changing of the guard is taking place.

Stark Academy a high school built from the crumbling remains of the old Avengers Tower, dedicated to the memory and legacy of Tony Stark. A place where students from all over the world can learn the skills neccesary to be successful in life and achieve their goals. Here several students have decided to bear the cross themselves. They have found they have gifts, some mirroring heroes from a bygone era, some unique to their own persons, but all of these few students have decided to fight against the world's injustices in their own way. Whether they work together or come into conflict has yet to be decided, but one thing is for sure. This is a new age of heroes and villains.

(Hello everyone, this my first rp so take it easy, but not too easy, I can handle criticism. Anyway this is a marvel rp as you can probably tell, and you can create your own OC, or use an existing character. The date of this rp is 2019 with the "deaths" of all the heroes being in 2004. Deaths being ambiguous because if you want you can choose an already existing character.

As for rules I dont have many other than those already provided by rpnation, ya know keep it PG-13, minor cussing is allowed in the context of the rp, no godmodding, no harassment of others. I dont expect to really have any issues of that here. So I'll post my own OC, where you guys can see the template and use it for own devices. Cheers!

History: Wolverine, or James Howlett remembers when Death came to Earth's front door step. Every hero from every corner of the planet stepped up to the challenge, including a few old villains. Loki, Mysterio, Ultron. Howlett didn't know why Death did what she did, unleashing plague and war and destruction on Earth, killing millions by the day. He still doesn't know how they stopped her. Every time they tried to battle her it was like fighting a vision. Every claw swipe went right through her, yet just by her will alone, around him friends and family were taken from this world into her own personal hell. He can't figure out how they did it, Strange and Thor. But one day, on the third week of conflict, they left alone. Howlett felt an immense pain, and around him heroes started dying. He can't remember who, as he was left unconscious for days, but for all he knows he's the only one left. He spent the next few years wandering the country, searching for others. His health deteriorated, his age finally catching up to him. Eventually he applied at the new Stark Academy, as a janitor. Most students didn't recognize him, which worked perfect for him. All he wanted was to die in peace. Overtime he heard things, saw things. Heroes are coming back, and he'll be damned if they end up like he did.

As he got older his father forced him to start to working out, initially he opposed but found it too be a good way to calm down and let his anger out. When his parents heard about the Stark Academy, his dad used his military connnections to get him enrolled in the Academy's boarding program with significant financial aid. Erik has been attending the school for the last three years and has noticed that he has developed a strange ability to turn almost anything into a dangerous projectile. Currently however he is trying to focus on his grades and get a social life to make his parents stop worrying about him, but he'd much rather engage in vigilantism.

WanderingScribe I just wanted to ask as I'm a little confused. Is this like a Marvel high school kind of thing or more of a proper superhero RP? Or is it potentially a combination of the two?

 

[SynKast]

Full Name:
Liam Ó Iktomi

Nicknames:
Spidey, Webs, Web-Head, Etc.

Code Name:
Spider-Man

Species:
Although while he may have been infected by a Radio-Active Spider, Liam is a Human

Affiliation:
N/A

Age:
Born on November 25th, 1999 - Liam is 20-years-old

Gender:
Bearing both the X and Y chromosome - Liam is a Male

Canon Link:
A lot of people compare him to Peter Parker, Ben Reilly, or Miles Morales

Occupation:
A chef at a small Cafe near home.

Appearance:

Spoiler: Out of Costume

Spoiler: Costume

Height:
5'6'' (167.5 cm)

Weight:
120lbs (54.43kg)

Equipment:

• Web-Shooters:
  Twin devices worn on his wrists are able to shoot thin strands of a special "web fluid" at high pressure.
  
  
• Utility Belt:
  Upon first entering the super-hero world, Liam, like Peter, created a utility belt that held extra clips of webbing

Personality:
Like all the other predespiders before him, he is very optimistic and warm-hearted. Always carrying a witty remark or horrible pun with him at all times.

Bio:
(WIP)

Abilities:

• Superhuman Strength:
  Spider-Man possesses superhuman strength enabling him to press lift many tons. Spider-Man's physical strength is sufficient enough to enable him to lift and throw objects that weight between as heavy as 175,000 and 215,000 pounds with ease.
  
  
• Wall-Crawling:
  Spider-Man can adhere to walls, ceilings, and other surfaces in order to scale them. This ability allows him to stick to almost any surface when willing himself to, as physical contact with said surfaces creates a locking connection necessary to support his body, even when he is inverted above the ground. Alternatively, Parker could make individual portions of his body adhesive, which allowed him to stick his foot onto the chest of a bank robber to fling him into a wall.
  
  
• Superhuman Speed:
  Spider-Man is capable of running and moving at speeds that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.[3] Spider-Man has shown to be fast enough to catch up to an accelerating car while on foot but prefers to travel by webs.
  
  
• Superhuman Stamina:
  Spider-Man's advanced musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human. This allows him to exert himself physically for much longer periods of time before fatigue begins to impair him. At his peak, Spider-Man can physically exert himself at his peak capacity for several hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.
  
  
• Superhuman Durability:
  Spider-Man's body is physically tougher and more resistant to some types of injury than the body of a normal human. His body is more resistant to impact forces than anything else. He can withstand great impacts, such as falling from a height of several stories or being struck by an opponent with super strength. Events which would severely injure or kill a normal human, leave him with little to no discomfort.
  
  
• Superhuman Agility:
  Spider-Man's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Spider-Man is extraordinarily limber and his tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being is despite their physical strength. He has the combined agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats. He can also perform any complicated sequence of gymnastic stunts such as flips, rolls, and springs. He can easily match or top any Olympic record at gymnastics apparatus such as flying rings, climbing ropes, horizontal bars, trampolines, and even comparable to the likes of Daredevil.
  
  
• Regenerative Healing Factor:
  Spider-Man is able to rapidly heal and regenerate from harm rapidly faster and more extensively than normal humans are capable of and can rapidly heal and regenerate from harm that normal humans cannot heal from.
  
  
• Enhanced Immune System:
  Due to his accelerated metabolism, Spider-Man has a higher tolerance for drugs and diseases than normal humans, and he can recover from the effects of larger doses rapidly.
  
  
• Superhuman Equilibrium:
  Spider-Man possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. He seems able to adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to balance himself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow.
  
  
• Superhuman Reflexes:
  Spider-Man's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are currently about forty times greater than those of an ordinary human. In combination with his spider-sense, the speed of his reflexes allows him to dodge almost any attack, or even gunfire, given sufficient distance.
  
  
• Spider-Sense:
  Spider-Man's brain intakes and responds to stimuli at an accelerated rate, alerting him to dangers around him as a sixth sense. This awareness functions on a subconscious level, thus alerting Spider-Man of dangers he cannot readily notice at first, allowing him to effectively dodge and counter incoming attacks in combat, including, but not limited to projectiles aimed at him from a blind spot.

Weaknesses:

• Spider-Sense Disruption:
  Spider-Man's Spider-Sense can lose its effectiveness if it is blocked or temporarily weakened by specialized equipment or certain drugs. It also would not trigger if it detects something that is not registered as a threat like the Spider-Man clones or the Venom symbiote and its offspring and Anti-Venom. When deprived of his spider-sense, Spider-Man becomes vulnerable to surveillance and attack, and web-slinging requires most of his concentration.
  
  
• Ethyl Chloride:
  Perhaps as a side effect of gaining his powers, Spider-Man is susceptible to the pesticide ethyl chloride.

Other:

• Liam was born from a Native Irish woman by the name of Aíbell Mhic Lochlainn who was a herbologist before coming to North America, and a Native Lakota Sioux American man by the name of Odakota Fjord who was a hunter amongst his tribe before meeting his wife, Aíbell.
  
  
• The name, Liam Ó Iktomi translates to: Liam, Grandson of Iktomi
  
  
• Liam is the Irish name for William
  
  
• Iktomi is the name of a spider-trickster spirit that took the form of a human within the Sioux mythos. The name Iktomi was given to Liam's grandfather on his father's side of the family due to his always playful attitude and his rumored ability to supposedly commune with and wield the powers of the arachnid.
  
  
• The way Liam came gained his Arachnid powers was through a family specific, shamanistic ritual that -- consisted of the child when of age, to wander out into the woods and be bitten by a spider in a means of bonding to the animal.

I can handle criticism. !

I have some to offer you!
On this site, you can make several pages for different uses. A characters page for CSes, an interest check to gauge interest, an out of character chat for discussion, etc.

At age 12 he knocked on the door, but no one answered, he unlocked the door and walked in, and there was his mom, dead on the ground, a note next to her body, only reading "you wouldn't have become a hero otherwise" so when he was told of this academy, he took the first chance he got.
