Rules
In order to keep everything sane and above board,we need to adhere to a set of rules. Read them in full. Understand them. Obey them,or get out. Simple as that.
Character Template
This is the basic template for all characters. Everything I list is mandatory. You may add whatever extra you believe is necessary,and I encourage you to make good use of bbcode,in particular spoilers and tabs. RpN has a tutorial for such coding; It's easy,once you see how it's done. Also,remove all of my explanation text when making your character. Failure to do so will result in my going insane. You REALLY don't want that.

Rules
In order to keep everything sane and above board,we need to adhere to a set of rules. Read them in full. Understand them. Obey them,or get out. Simple as that.
1) RpN's rules apply. RpN has some basic rules. Follow them here.
2) Know who's in charge. There's a totem pole,here. Admins above mods above fellows above myself above you. Hopefully,things don't need to go above myself.
3) Independent thought is encouraged. Disagree with a ruling of mine? PM me with your case as to why. But,make sure it's a well thought-out argument; I will not entertain flights of whimsy.
4) Do romance right. This is an ENORMOUS pet peeve of mine. Romance is not sex. Understand this; If you develop a romantic relationship with a character in the RP,make it a realistic progression,and if you MUST share a bed,then don't even fade to black; Implications and a time skip work wonders. We're not idiots.
5) Equivalent exchange. Nothing is free. For every gain,effort must be expended. Something is ALWAYS lost,even if it's just time. The more your power can do,the steeper these costs become. Bear this in mind.
6) Prohibited powers. In the name of balance,there are some powers I need to say "no" to,completely outright. Immortality,invulnerability,reality warping of any description,omniscience,omnipotence,passive immunity,time fuckery of any sort,futuresight and mind reading of any variety,ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL,instant death or incapacitation abilities or technologies. This list is not exhaustive. Yet.
7) Be considerate. No,I don't care if you have an opportunity to post right now. If you and one other person are dominating an entire page,you will wait for others to post. People,myself included,drop out of RP's because of being left in the dust.
8) Use proper English. I can understand if English isn't your primary language,but for everyone else? No excuses. Everyone in this RP is to make every attempt to use proper English,so people can understand eachother. We're all educated,here.
9) Read all the relevant info. If I can answer a question with "Read the fucking manual",then you are in breach of this rule. Just to make sure you've read things,answer the question "What year did drone technology get the big breakthrough" in the miscellaneous section of your character sheet.
10) This is War,by Thirty Seconds to Mars. War is Hell. War is conflict. Expect war to visit the RP. Hell,PLAN on it. Death is a very real possibility; If I see the chance,I will seize it. So should you.
11) Give us something to work with! Your posts need substance. When you post,make sure everyone else has some ammo to work with. A good minimum to shoot for is two paragraphs.
12) Have fun! I know,big list of rules makes me look like a buzzkill. However,these rules exist in order to secure the enjoyment of as many people as possible. I'm sure most of these rules will rapidly become second nature.

Name: Jonah Morris.
Alias/es: Singularity.
Age: 28.
Sex: Male,though only genetically,now.
Nationality: British.
Jonah stands six foot three inches tall,and weighs 223 pounds. He has the typical light skin of the British people,and his eyes and hair are a matching brown. The hair is drawn into a ponytail that reaches to just below his shoulder blades. His body,from the pelvis down,remains unclothed,as this region is composed entirely of cybernetic prosthetics. These prosthetics enhance his natural abilities to superhuman levels,allowing him to run at highway speeds,support a heavy backpacked load,as his spine was also replaced,and the prosthetics are well armoured. It should be noted; He sacrificed his anatomy for these prosthetics.
His attire consists of one of his suits (described below),or his civilian attire,which consists of a random shirt from his drawer,and a black leather longcoat.
Super Categories: Metahuman,technology.
Powers & Abilities
-Cybernetics: Jonah's body has been modified. From the navel down,his body is visibly robotic,sporting sleek,powerful,and armoured prosthetics. Internally,his spine has been reinforced. This allows him to run at highway speeds,and support a superhuman load,to say nothing of his kicks and leaps.
-Superhuman Might: Jonah's natural body is also capable of superhuman feats of strength. In fact,his cybernetics have been designed to MATCH his body's abilities.
-Durability: Jonah is simply tougher than any human has any right to be. He won't be able to tank a bullet bare naked,but it'll take noticeably more effort to disable him.
-Matter Manipulator: Jonah's able to manipulate matter at will,if he can touch it. The mass is consumed by his body,and he may then expel it at any time,and re-shape it,even change its properties,until he has something he can use. Living things tend to resist the effect,but they only delay the inevitable. It is impractical to apply this ability in combat,so he must come into the fight prepared; He may only consume or expel one mole of matter per second. When he absorbs matter,it is absorbed as elemental carbon,as it provides nice round math.
Equipment: Jonah keeps assorted pouches handy,and little else,besides his suits. The suits are actually products of Jonah's Matter Manipulator power.
Ten tonnes of pure armour,the Critical Mass suit has little else to work in its advantage. This powersuit can laugh off even the main gun of a tank,and the powered assistance is capable of conferring amazing strength and speed to the suit. Besides strength,speed in a straight line,and armour,the Critical Mass suit contains a radio,sound system,gender-neutral voice modulator,a full tactical heads up display,and a local map with a one hundred meter range,and robust climate control. While the Critical Mass suit may seem impenetrable,it suffers several weaknesses; Its bulk renders agility a chore,and the mass severely restricts where it can go in an urban environment. Finally,like any enclosed suit of armour,prolonged exposure to intense heat is suicide.
The suit cannot be dismantled,not by conventional or sane means; It's designed for Jonah to gain entry via his powers. Only the helmet may be removed.
Clocking in at a reasonable thirty kilograms,the Negative Mass suit is the exact opposite of the Critical Mass suit. Designed with mobility in mind,the Negative Mass suit has no real armour to speak of; It'll only protect from minor environmental impacts. Instead,it has a whole host of other features; A detachable jetpack occupies the back,as well as vectored microthrusters for additional agility. The helmet contains the same systems as the Critical Mass suit,and includes a rangefinder,as well. Designed in pieces,the suit can be donned by anyone of the appropriate size,though it isn't exactly practical to dismantle in combat.
Background: Jonah Morris was born in the United Kingdom,and it was there where he was raised. Early in life,Jonah displayed strength far beyond what his size would suggest. Throughout his childhood,Jonah was either feared,or ridiculed for his strength,when,in reality,he was a gentle boy who wanted to have friends,like anyone else. As he progressed through school,he managed to get a couple of good friends,and they remained in contact for the rest of their lives.
In high school,Jonah's principle power became manifest; During one chemistry class,his body began to consume a glass phial,which was,thankfully,empty. Before he realized what was happening,half of the phial was gone,and he panicked. By the end of the incident,the phial was consumed,then expelled as a small orb of elemental carbon,and the Department of United Protection arrived on the scene in order to contain the situation.
Jonah was released the next day,having been briefed on what the DUP believed were his new abilities,based on observation; Absorbative particle-based matter manipulation,colloquially referred to as matter manipulation. Jonah graduated high school with honours,though many of his peers still either feared him or scorned him.
Going into university with a full scholarship,he began to study for civil architecture,feeling it would be a good constructive application of his powers. However,during his time studying,a Metahuman terrorist group,calling themselves the Inheritors,assaulted the university,levelling the institution,killing hundreds. In the attack,an Inheritor with a military laser cut him in half,just above the pelvis,cauterizing the wound.
After the Inheritors were dispersed,the survivors were rushed to the hospital,and were treated on the Crown's dime. The doctors,aware of Jonah's abilities,fitted him with prosthetics that mimicked his strength perfectly,and reinforced his spine in order to guarantee that the legs won't simply "fall off".
However,Jonah dropped out shortly after he completed his rehabilitation in a record-smashing three months. Vanishing from public knowledge entirely,Jonah began to assemble armoured suits in an effort to protect himself from terrorists and EU agents. He first created the Negative Mass suit,which he used to cross the English Channel in the night,and make his way to Germany,where he knew the final nail in the EU's coffin will be driven,where there would be the most chaos when it did happen.
Upon arrival,Jonah prepared his Critical Mass suit in anticipation of a drawn-out conflict,but when it did happen,it was all over in seven hours,much to his astonishment. In the following weeks,Jonah did what he could to restore order to the city where he had taken up residence,but felt powerless against the seemingly endless tide of ultraradicals,looters,and rogue soldiers.
Then came the twin invasion notices. Jonah wasn't surprised; It was the most logical course of action. However,he didn't like it,and dug in to prepare for the inevitable tide.
Miscellaneous: 1994.
