Agent of the Greater Good - The Ash Wraith

• General Data

• 
  
  
  Name: Steven Adams.
  
  
  Alias/es: The Ash Wraith.
  
  
  Sex: Male.
  
  
  Age: 23.
  
  
  Loyalties: The Greater Good,heroic.

  Take away the gun. He doesn't use them...
  
  
  
  ​
  
  
  
  Steven stands five foot seven inches tall,and weighs 183 pounds. He tends to wear suits. With his powers active,his flesh blackens,as if exposed to an incinerator,complete with glowing orange fissures along his skin. His eyes will also glow crimson,and an identical glow will be present in his throat,as well. Finally,while his powers are active,his legs instead become a cyclone of ash,fire,and soot.
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  The Ash Wraith is a very offensive combatant; He lacks in defence outside of his own specialized immunities. To survive,he relies on clever tactics,underhanded strategies,and raw offensive might.
  
  
  

  Power - The Ash Wraith

  
  
  
  This is a transformation power,and also required for the use of all of Steven's other powers. While transformed,Steven assumes the form of the Ash Wraith,a being that looks much like him,except they look horrendously burned,the flesh beneath the surface glows a fiery orange,his eyes and throat emit an eerie crimson light,and his legs become a swirling cyclone of ash,soot,and black fire. In this state,Steven cannot,under any circumstances,be burned by extreme heat. In fact,he is entirely immune to extreme heat in this state; He will not be burned,he will not be discomforted,and he will most certainly not find it difficult to breathe.
  
  
  

  Power - Pyrourgy

  
  
  
  The Ash Wraith is a being of ash and fire. As such,he can conjure,shape,and in general have absolute dominion over fire. He will do with it as he pleases,from breathing it,to moving it,to condensing it into a beam to fire over a great distance; If it is fire,it is his. Period. Hell,he can even snuff it out,if he needs to. However,no matter what,this fire needs oxygen to burn,unless he has access to an oxidizer.
  
  
  

  Power - Ash Manipulator

  
  
  
  The Ash Wraith is a being of ash and fire. As such,he can manipulate existing ash to suit his needs. While ash is brittle,it has its uses.
  
  
  

  Power - Accelerant

  
  
  
  Perhaps the most grim of the Ash Wraith's abilities,he can consume a living thing wholesale with a touch,killing it utterly,and use them as fuel for the fire,literally. Any being consumed by the Ash Wraith in this manner will have their mass used as fuel,making the Ash Wraith's fires burn even more intensely. Due to his own moral compass,the Ash Wraith limits this to animals and hostile combatants. It should be noted that the consumption process takes time; A grown man will take a whole minute to consume.. And that's a very,VERY long time in a fight.
  
  
  

  Wargear - Firebrand

  
  
  
  The Firebrand is a sword hilt,seemingly made of basalt. However,in the hands of the Ash Wraith,the Firebrand comes to life,producing a blade composed entirely of infinitely black fire. Emitting no light,the Firebrand is nonetheless incredibly hot,on par with plasma cutters. The exact size and shape of the blade varies,depending on the mood and needs of the Ash Wraith. The weapon is conjured by the Ash Wraith,and is not in the conventional realm of existence otherwise.
  
  
  

  Skill - Swordsmanship

  
  
  
  Steven is a capable swordsman,having studied historical European martial arts.
  
  
  

  
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  Personality: Steven,despite what his alter ego is capable of,is not a pyromaniac. He respects fire,and what it can do,but he hardly obsesses over it. He's a firm believer in the concept of the greater good,where every individual is responsible for the health of society,and must,as such,strive to do their best for themselves and others,while doing everything they can to remove what stands in the way of the greater good. To that end,he seeks excellence in everything he does,and promotes similar efforts in others,and he will not hesitate to do what he can to eliminate threats to the greater good,up to,and including,killing the person in question. All of this combines to make Steven seem like a bit of a perfectionist hardass,but he still tries to be friendly to others. The problem,of course,is first impressions.
  
  
  Background: Steven was born and raised in Ontario. During his time in Canada,Steven's home burned down,leaving himself and his family in poverty. During this time,however,Steven Awakened,developing powers relating to fire. His family eventually,with the military's help,got a new home,and their possessions replaced,and,realizing that Steven needed an environment to learn how to control his new abilities. So,he was sent to Valor Glade in Wyoming to learn,and maybe make a career out of it.
  
  
  

Agent of the Greater Good - The Supreme Commander

  Name: <//ERR=DATABASE CORRUPTED>
  
  
  Alias/es: The Supreme Commander.
  
  
  Sex: <//ERR=DATABASE CORRUPTED>
  
  
  Age: <//ERR=DATABASE CORRUPTED>
  
  
  Loyalties: The Greater Good,villainous.
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  
  

  

  
  
  Someone's about to have a very bad day...
  
  
  
  ​
  
  
  
  The Supreme Commander's true appearance is unknown. Their suit is seven and a half feet tall,and the weight is unknown.
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  The Supreme Commander has exhibited no superhuman powers,although their technology is incredibly advanced; It's assumed that their Awakening relates to some manner of incredibly advanced and powerful technology. Considering the nature of the Supreme Commander's forces,it is safe to assume that the removal of the Supreme Commander will result in either the destruction,or disablement,of all of their forces.
  
  
  

  Wargear - Armoured Command Unit

  
  
  
  The Armoured Command Unit,or ACU,is the Supreme Commander's suit. It boasts impressive armour,capable of shrugging off lighter tank munitions,can go wherever a human can go,can turn invisible,and is equipped with a Multilaser,Nanolathe,and the terrifying Disintegrator Gun.
  
  
  

  Wargear - Nanolathe

  
  
  
  The Nanolathe forms the core of the Supreme Commander's capabilities. It is capable of breaking down all known matter into pure energy,and storing this energy. It can then use this energy to create objects,converting it back into matter. This enables the Supreme Commander to build a fully functional and self-sustaining military base in a matter of hours. It can be used offensively,to reclaim the matter of an enemy,but the Multilaser would be more efficient at destruction. Housed in the left arm.
  
  
  

  Wargear - Multilaser

  
  
  
  The Multilaser is the primary weapon of the ACU. It is relatively simple,but is simultaneously wonderfully effective; It can fire powerful,pulsed beams,sustained cutting beams,and saturating scatterbeams. As a laser,there's no such thing as dodging the beams,not unless the target can move faster than light,and reflective surfaces can render this weapon largely ineffective. This weapon is housed in the right arm.
  
  
  

  Wargear - Disintegrator Gun

  
  
  
  Technically,the D-Gun is another function of the Multilaser. However,it behaves very differently from a laser. The D-Gun fires a sphere of unknown,exotic energy that arcs lazily along its trajectory until it hits something. Whatever it strikes simply ceases to exist,and the projectile will keep going until it strikes the ground,whereupon it will continue to slide,creating a trench as it does so. Larger targets,such as buildings,will instead have an enormous hole carved through them. This weapon takes an absolutely stupendous amount of energy to fire,and is housed in the right arm.
  
  
  

  Wargear - Cloaking Module

  
  
  
  Sometimes,it's prudent to remain unseen. This module will render the ACU completely invisible,wiping it away from the visible light spectrum. However,it is still possible to detect; You just need methods other than visible light to spot it. The cloaking module requires stupendous amounts of energy to function,especially if the subject is in motion,and it will be disrupted if the subject opens or takes fire. It should be noted that some of the Supreme Commander's forces make use of this technology,as well.
  
  
  

  Minions - Semi-Autonomous Remote Drone Forces; Land,Sea,and Air

  
  
  
  The Supreme Commander does very little of the fighting themselves. Instead,they largely rely on their infinite legions of drones,ranging in size from a soldier,to a mecha from fiction,to a warship at sea. Considering the landlocked nature of Valor Glade,however,the Supreme Commander's ships will not be coming into play. Regardless,each and every drone houses a robust artificial intelligence; Each drone will intelligently manouvre on its own in pursuit of a manually-given directive,and without directive,the drones will defend their location intelligently,returning fire,moving to engage,and pursuing,to a reasonable distance. They can be manually given orders for more complex tasks,as well,making these machines incredibly versatile,and powerful.
  
  
  As a rule,the drones possess more armour than apparent,due to the need of operators and ammunition storage removed; They all possess small-scale Nanolathes to fabricate ammunition.
  
  
  

  Skill - Strategy and Tactics

  
  
  
  The Supreme Commander is a talented and cunning strategist and tactician. They are very difficult to outmanoeuvre,and they always seem to know what their enemies are up to. Never assume you have the advantage when engaging the Supreme Commander,or their forces; It is never the case.

However,Awakened,without proper oversight,guidance,or sufficiently powerful moral compasses,most Awakened will become delusional despots. No,what I seek is to overthrow the United States of America. In its place,I will raise a State where all are free to choose their own destinies. For good or ill. However,this will not be some bed of chaos,no. Those whose destinies impose upon the destinies of others? They will be punished. I give you all a choice; Join me. Or die. There will be no place for Big Brother's dogs in the future."

@Riddle78


They're beautiful, both of them. One guess as to which one I like more. HINT: It's not the hero.


Accepted!


EDIT: One thing, though. I recognize that the Supreme Commander is quite the authority, and little about them is known, but I'll still need you to at least put a hint as to any possible weaknesses that they might maybe have, by chance.

Abilities~ Under stressful times, her ability to turn invisible activates, going in and out of a material existence. In that stage, she can go through walls, and objects can go right through her. She also cannot particularly fly, but floats. Staying at a certain altitude, she can stay floating. Staying in air takes a lot of energy out of her, so she mostly walks or dangles from someones shoulders.

Backstory~ She grew up in a small town in Maine, quiet and isolated. Once graduating high school, she had gone into college for a degree in writing. On night, she had gone out friends and disappeared. It was that time that she did not materialize for a few days. People thought she had died on Halloween.


It was Halloween during a full moon. Petra was out with some of her college friends for a costume party. Dressed as a dark magical girl, she headed into the night with her battle staff in hand. As they became near a forest, her friends began to dare each other to enter; acting like a 3 year old in an amusement park. They all sad yes, but to Petra's bad luck, she said "no". It was that moment, that she had to skip the party and sleep some where deep in the forest. During her stay, she tripped over a head stone of an abandoned grave, and once sitting up, dizzy, she saw a ghost; Activating her ability.


(OMG this took forever!!! but im finally done drawing & typing her out)

 

[Snek]

Accepted, on the condition that for any given incoming attack, there be a predetermined dice roll whether it hits her or "phases" through. You may suggest a probability for this.

Name: Snowden Falls


Alias: Snowden Falls; Snow; Mr. Voodoo


Gender: Male


Age: 29


Appearance: Rather gruff looking with a long over coat and dark pants. Usually seen with a tome on his side and all sorts of alchemic potions he looks rather shifty


Powers: Voodoo Magic


Style: Smart and decisive he will plan out things and make his moves like chess


Abilities: Voodoo Magic; Flight


Flaws: Gambling his life and money away Alcoholism, due to many years of talking with spirits and practicing dark magic. Self centered and ego-centric he is very much about what is in it for him. He is also very self consciousness about his receding hairline


Weakness: Holy items. As his magic has scarred him with unholy marks he is very weakened by holy places or items of Christianity Islam and Judaism. Direct Sunlight cause him to burn up as he has no soul.


Personality: Self Centered and very aware of himself hes a rather goofy and odd character. He will tell bad jokes just to tell them. Though he cares more for himself he doesn't like seeing people being taken advantage of and has a soft side for kids. He is serious in combat and wont back down to the most gruesome of magical or non-magical enemies.


Backstory: Snow den Falls decided that his soul was worth about $50,000, That was the price the mob put out on his head for all the back debts he owed them for bad calls and his tabs at there bars. So he did what any normal person like him would do. He decided to make a deal with a Loa named Papa Ghede. Ghede said that he would make all his troubles disappear for the price of his soul, to which Snowden decided was a fair deal. When He awoke the next day he got a call from the the mobsters saying that his debt was clear and that he was no longer on the hit list. He went out and started betting again of course with little thought of the deal with Ghede. When he left that night he came across this old man who said something to him about a bad aura surrounding him but yet again he thought nothing of it till he got to his room and there stood the old man again. He was told that he was A physical representation of Ghede and that he was was there to teach Snowden on how to use his abilities to do Ghedes bidding. He was whisked away to the under world where he spent years training his new abilities. after the time spent he merged a voodoo master with the power of the dark magics under him he would go out and fulfill his part of the bargain to Ghede. Eventually his ego would get the best of him and he challenged Ghede to a wager for his freedom. The wager was a rigged contest that Snowden couldn't lose. A wager of who could go the longest without talking. Knowing the deity couldn't do that for his favorite thing to was to talk with women Snowden called forth a woman to seduce the deity. He won his freedom but with a price for his cheating. He would return to the world above with no soul. It was to be locked in a chest in and would sit at the throne of Ghede himself. Snowden seeing no reason to have a soul returned to the surface world to see he had now shadow, and in fact was not able to stand in direct sunlight. He decided that that was ok and that he could profit over the fact that he could still do voodoo magic. He went into business hiring his dark arts out to people who needed it.

 

[Snek]

Accepted, Scarecrowe. I was hesitant at first to accept a magic-based character, as I wasn't planning on magic being a prominent force in the roleplay's world, but I'm making an exception for you. Thought and creativity was obviously put into this character, and I like his personality. Plus, he reminds me of my favorite Disney villain, Doctor Facilier.

  Government File: Subject 1C
  
  (Picture: Recovered image taken by a bystander five years ago on a cell phone. Note the peculiar energy displacement from his abilities, as well as the basic rig he constructed to supplement his powers before his theft of the suit.)<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_08/upload_2015-8-20_14-23-31.jpeg.c5c5977f6176a7539f469cb12fbe9da6.jpeg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="70098" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_08/upload_2015-8-20_14-23-31.jpeg.c5c5977f6176a7539f469cb12fbe9da6.jpeg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>

  Name: [FILE LOST]
  
  
  Aliases: "Treblemaker", or "Equalizer"
  
  
  Age: Uncertain, but voice patterning (as well as behavioral indicators) places him currently around 21 years old.
  
  
  Threat Summary: Subject 1C seems to align himself as a neutral entity, showing no particular allegiance to any party unless it suits him. The only motives he appears to possess are his own survival and amusement, as well as the fulfillment of any desires he may have at any given time. He seems to greatly enjoy the thrill of battle, often getting himself involved in fights between other Awakened (taking offensive actions against both parties) and generally causing chaos to occupy his time. Exploitation possible in our Valkyrie program, but it will be difficult to secure his cooperation.
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  Subject 1C, or as our staff has endearingly and sarcastically come to call him, Freak-1C, possesses unique and complex abilities that are difficult to understand on a scientific level. Overall, he seems to benefit from a form of sound wave manipulation, but there is much more to it. His brain is evidently genetically "hardwired" with a built-in biological transmitter, for lack of a better term, capable of sending and receiving signals of varying frequencies, as well as translating and intensifying these signals. Using this capability, Subject 1C is able to transfer radio waves, music, and other sound-based transmissions and electrical signals into combined sound and heat energy for combat purposes. It is unknown whether or not he is able to reverse this process. This energy conversion process also produces a fair amount of light as a byproduct, as shown in the attached image in the General Info section. This light can shift and change color, and is also observed pulsing at times, not unlike a stereo equalizer, which is no doubt the source of the Subject's less-common alias. Following are the applications and feats that the Subject has been observed performing over the years of government surveillance.
  
  
  

  Offensive Capabilities

  Once provided with ample signals or energy to work with, the Subject is capable of routing the converted energy through his body, in the forms of sonic blasts, precise, aimed projectiles of sound, or beams of heat that he channels through his palms in the form of powerful lasers. Sound energy can also be expelled through the skin, vibrating his body to enhance the power of physical blows or mitigate incoming attacks. This kind of self-vibration is very taxing, however, and has been noted to often weaken and exhaust the Subject very quickly.

  Non-Offensive Capabilities

  By converting energy into kinetic force, Subject 1C can add incredible height to his jumps, allowing him to leap large distances, but not fly. His signal-receiving and transmitting powers allow him to cause signal interference in a wide radius around him, obscuring radio signals, electrical connections such as phone lines, even GPS signals. If properly interfaced, this also allows him to interfere with networking, which is how he managed to bypass the security measures at the location where the technology he stole from our R&D Department was being stored.

  the "Arc Angel" suit

  On [DATE REDACTED], the Subject managed to use his abilities to bypass intricate security measures at a storage facility for the government's R&D Department. He used the computer system to locate a specialized suit that we had designed to complement his abilities, and which had been planned for him to use after his induction into the Valkyrie program. The Subject then broke into the suit's storage chamber, disabled the guards, made off with the suit. An image of the suit is attached below.

  <p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_08/upload_2015-8-20_15-21-58.jpeg.90ed2416f39fd1c6b7b7f8e0359d7245.jpeg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="70108" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_08/upload_2015-8-20_15-21-58.jpeg.90ed2416f39fd1c6b7b7f8e0359d7245.jpeg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>
  
  
  The helmet visor, suit lights, and solar panels are capable of changing color. Subject seems to highly prefer a lime-green hue.
  
  
  The suit was designed to be worn by the Subject as a solo recon and spy unit, to be used with the "halo" in the picture, an amplifying ring that uses a magnetic current to act as a focusing lens and increase the intensity of sonic and heat emissions that pass through the center of the ring. The halo itself is also incredibly durable, crafted from a specialized, almost completely shock-absorbent alloy, and thus can also be utilized as a weapon, either melee or thrown. The ring is controlled by wireless signals and a smaller, stabilized magnetic field in the right glove, which allows the user to remotely retrieve the halo if it is thrown or otherwise separated from the user. The ring will hover next to the right glove when the suit's combat protocols are activated, ready for use, and when not needed it will hover in standby mode behind the helmet, as shown in the picture. The suit itself is composed of a relatively durable, lightweight, and bulletproof fabric. The helmet houses a sonar device that provides the user with a crude and rudimentary 360-degree view around them. The helmet also contains a heads-up display that shows the suit's remaining power, and can switch the view to night-vision, infrared, or even ultraviolet. The suit slowly recharges power with the red patches of solar panels on the suit's exterior. Since it's theft, the Subject has evidently integrated a custom pair of headphones into the helmet, which apparently houses its own music library of the Subject's preference to provide him with music to fuel his powers when he needs it.

  Aptitudes and Weaknesses

  
  
  
  Subject 1C excels at long-range combat with energy attacks as well as espionage with his mental signal-jamming, and as observed from previous confrontations with law enforcement, seems to utilize a crude, self-taught and freeform fighting style that resembles a strange mixture of bare-knuckle brawling, kickboxing, and what one of our staff described as "breakdancing". His fighting style is highly unorthodox and thus unpredictable, and is an incredibly versatile mix of agility, brute force, and speed. He has also proven to possess at least a basic knowledge of wiring and electrical engineering.
  
  
  However, despite his formidable combat skills, he is not proficient in multitasking, and finds it difficult to keep track of multiple foes at once, instead choosing to eschew tactics and strategy and instead improvise on the fly. He demonstrates little caution, and can easily be led into traps or ambushes. His powers rely heavily on the presence of nearby signals for his energy conversion, which only occurs at a fixed rate. The more powerful an attack he wishes to perform, the longer the conversion takes to gather the energy required. Signal-jamming devices or other such technology can counteract his ability to receive signals, and well-timed EMPs can disable his suit's functions, albeit only for a short window of time. His suit, although non-flammable, cannot withstand intense heat, and thus will not protect the wearer from it. It is also capable of conducting electricity, making him susceptible to tasers, although this provides his body with energy as well, so this method is not effective unless one possesses the element of surprise. His physical combat skills are impressive, though conventionally-trained martial artists can often prove difficult opponents for him, and the Subject often relies on his abilities to strengthen his blows against larger and more fortified foes.
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  Due to an attack on our servers by an unconfirmed source a few years ago, a huge amount of our data on Subject 1C was lost, including his legal identity, as well as those of his relatives. What we do know is that he was an orphan, and showed early interest in tinkering and wiring, athletics including gymnastics and free-running, and video games. He pursued his interests once he was adopted by [FILE LOST] on [DATE LOST], showing aptitude for both his athletics and his technological interests. Our data was purged of all information of what occurred for the next few years, but eventually his adopted father filed a missing persons report, and the only trace the Subject left when he vanished was an unopened envelope in his room, a still-sealed invitation to enroll at the Valor Glade Academy for Awakened. It was later confirmed that he had Awakened when a field agent reported him returning to his house several times over the course of a few months to interact with his adopted father. His visits have slowed in frequency as of late, but have not yet ceased completely.

Light based attacks and holy attacks easily overwhelm these types of attacks. Daylight is also not her thing, as she tends to be a bit temperamental and sluggish while the sun is out. Her full potential only being able to be seen once the sun sets. Also, surpassing her limits leaves her vulnerable to being swallowed by her own darkness or losing her sanity to it.


[*]Backstory: Lillian was the Arm Candy of a nightclub owner who made his money through the loss and exploitation of others. Having been grabbed up by this man at a young age, she was quick to conform and do as she was told, and it also wasn't a position that didn't come without its perks. Although she was well taken care of and wanted for nothing, she was tired of being viewed as just a pretty face.

Name: Elijah Price


Loyalty: Neutral but leans toward Heroic


Age: 24


Alias/Nickname: Rabbit


Powers: Enhanced Reflexes, and power.


Weakness: Still very much human but simply needs to be hit a lot harder than your average human to kill. Headshots would result in an insta-kill.


Backstory: Elijah Price was a two-bit hustled, always looking for his next easy mark. Whether it was pickpocketing or cheating casinos the kid was in it for the thrill and the rush. Loving the feeling of knowing he could be caught any moment, he took bigger and bigger risks, until he found himself facing off against a room full of armed men. His adrenaline was pumping so hard that he thought everything came to a stand still, and to him it seemed that everything had at least slowed down enough for him to analyze the situation. The next thing he knew he was reading the slightest movements and twitches of the men before him and managed to escape unharmed. He's had a series of run-ins that have tested his mettle, proving that on top of his knack for getting away clean that he could also handle himself fairly well if not exceptionally.

General

• Name: Sal Foley aka "Jaws"
  
• Gender: female
  
• Age: 19
  
• Alignment: Hero
  
• Personality: Meek and reserved outside of her vigilante work, Sal uses her identity as Jaws to do all that she was too afraid to in her old life. She is largely driven by her emotions and a desire to do what's right. Despite her gentle facade, she is brutal and carnal in the face of danger and her convictions are rock solid. While she's often conflicted and anxious when it comes to everyday matters, when it comes down to a big decision she puts all her faith in her instinct, for better or worse.
  

Appearance

• Height: 5'5"
  
• Weight: 140 lbs
  
• Light brown hair and eyes
  
• ((will edit and put in a picture later probably))
  

Powers

• Able to manifest sharp teeth
  
• Enhanced bite strength
  
• Enhanced bone durability
  
• Fits of spontaneous strength, speed, and brutality
  

Weaknesses

• Emotional instability leading to lack of control and focus
  
• Sensory overload
  
• Willfully weak
  

Backstory


Since Sal's awakening in her early teens she strove to become a certified crime-fighter, earning a scholarship and rapidly skipping up the ranks of the institute. But despite having a sparkling academic record, she was refused certification due to her mental health and the volatile nature of her powers. Shamed but undeterred, she now continues to strive for government-endorsed-hero excellence, while occasionally doing some unlicensed vigilante work on the down-low. Young as she still is, she worries about being able to keep up with the other powered citizens, and about how long she'll be able to keep up balancing her hero life, her academic life, her work life, and her practically non-existent social life.

@cranboggles @HellKnight


Both accepted. Welcome~

 

[Snek]

@DiamondJack Before I say anything, nice avatar. I've been playing Smite quite a bit recently.


But I digress.


Shaw is too powerful. He has stamina that outranks even the world's best, most honed and most trained athletes, so he can outlast almost any other person in a fight. His skin can stop anything smaller than an artillery shell, because mortars and rocket launchers are definitely weapons that law enforcement would use in a heavily populated area. Sure, he has limits, but they're ridiculously high to the point where he can't lose unless he is up against a literal army. He can run up to 40 mph. This dude could possibly win a race on foot against a goddamn cheetah. He can lift 40 times his weight? You do realize that equates to him being able to lift over five tons?


You realize this means not only can your character match the speed of the fastest land mammal on Earth, and not only will he not be tired from it, but he can lift this:

Your character can effortlessly lift and throw semi trucks. And stop bullets. And run faster on foot than a car could legally drive through the city streets. And he won't even break a sweat. So one would figure, well, he's obviously a very physically-oriented character, right? So his weakness must be a vulnerability to mental attack!


Nope. Immune.


And on top of it all, I like the fact that you described his abilities as "pretty boring by most standards". Sure, there are Awakened everywhere, but they're not all Superman.


I'm sorry if you find this offensive or cynical, but I was simply overwhelmed by your character. "Weakness to heavy artillery and rockets" isn't really a weakness to begin with. "Blowing shit up" is usually an effective tactic against most every enemy, if you blow up the right things. Plus, by the way you worded it ("These can wound or even kill him") the bio seems to suggest that explosives and heavy rounds are actually less effective against him than other targets.


"Mental instability" isn't a weakness either. Have you ever heard of someone becoming less dangerous because they were insane? Insane people are locked up in asylums for a reason: they're a threat to everyone around them.


I will say that I like his backstory. I like the aesthetic of the character, and I like that he isn't high-profile, that he doesn't have an agenda other than to be able to eat and survive. It's just that he's just too...godlike. It's not just the fact that he is really powerful, because if that was it, then I'd have rejected @HellKnight 's character too. Lillian is a goddamn force to be reckoned with. Complete control over darkness, hardening it for offense/defense, healing wounds while in the shadows, turning invisible in the shadows, teleporting from one shadow to another, like hot damn. I will admit that at first I had reservations about accepting Lady Black without making HellKnight make some power adjustments first. But then I thought about it.


Sure, she's a veritable goddess during the night. But she makes up for being so powerful for 50% of the time because the other 50% of the time she is nearly powerless, becoming "temperamental and sluggish" in the daylight. Plus, all of her attacks drain stamina proportional to the strength of the attack, so even if it is nighttime, Lillian still has to be careful how much shadow she slings around or else she'll get too tired or even risk being injured by her own abilities.


So keep that in mind.


tl;dr - Rejected, needs more balancing of strengths/weaknesses and toning down of his powers.

  Power- Tech Psychic

  Emma's awakened power isn't exactly very strong or very destructive, when compared to all the other millions of powers that are out there, but at least Emma can do something with it. She's psychic, but only when it comes to technology. She can't really do anything with hardware, but with software, Emma can find any kind of information within a device if she's close enough to it, and can even rewrite an entire devices code if she's given enough time.

  Ability- Actual Hacker

  Being a software psychic has it's advantages, like being able to hack into certain places when Emma needs too. Though Emma has her own self governed rules about what exactly she can hack into, it's a great ability that with the right amount of time and know-how, can do nearly anything within the digital age.

  Ability- Computer Mastermind

  What's the point of being a Tech psychic if you don't know anything about technology? Emma's pretty skilled with softwares of many kinds, and has done a lot of coding for herself, so she doesn't even have to do some much work on certain jobs, which lets her be more efficient. She's made AIs for herself, and heaps of programs, and just about the works.
  
  
  She's also pretty good with hardware, though her power doesn't really help her with that skill. She's made her own tablet, leg, and almost all of her tech gear from scratch and completely by herself, and she's an extremely quick study when it comes to stuff she hasn't made.

  Limb- Keeping things Together

  Having a prosthetic limb has it's ups and it's down for Emma. The Ups? Emma's current leg was by her, and is actually kitted out to be it's own huge server, with it's own computer and even some hacking gear contained in it. It's great.
  
  
  The Downs? It's heavy, to the point where if Emma was dropped from a small height she could probably crush someone, or even herself. It's also not even remotely streamlined, with it being bigger in circumference and even length that her other leg. Emma made it so that she could grow into it a little more, but it's millimeters longer than her right leg and it forces her to wear longer pants in order to keep it covered.
  
  
  Another down, which is also kind of big. Emma made her leg, and to make it work almost exactly like how her right leg worked, Emma implanted a very small device into her head. Well, she didn't implant it herself, she had to go to a pretty shady doctor for that to happen, but the device acts a controlling center for her leg. Just like how her brain is for her right one. Though the device leaves her with severe headaches, vomiting, and generally being really sick.

  Weakness- Only Three Limbs

  Emma only has three of her limbs, and of course, that's pretty big. She's not particularly fast, and she walks with a slight limp when she's walking in the street. In any kind of fight, where it's left her to get actually physical, Emma isn't going to do so well.

  Flaw- Teenager

  Emma is a teen, and that does come with flaws. She's not exactly divisive, unless she has a goal in mind, and she's susceptible to what people tell her. She's impressionable, has a little attitude, and likes to question authority, like really any other teen.

  
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  

  Backstory

  Emma was born in Australia, but her small family moved to Valor just months after she was born in the middle of the Aussie summer.
  
  
  Her parents were young, but had gone through their Awakenings, and at the time Emma's birth country didn't have any means for people who were awakened to have training, or be of any use at all. Her parent's wanted to be useful, so they moved to Valor Glade to become crime fighters.
  
  
  That didn't end well, at all.
  
  
  In Fact, it ended up with Emma loosing her left leg in an explosion at the age of 6, and left her parents dead.
  
  
  After that, Emma was fitted with simple prosthetic and expected to keep living her life, with her poor Grandma having to deal with looking after her and the small home they lived in.
  
  
  That didn't work so well either, but Emma didn't particularly care. She had to drop out of normal highschool when she was 16, but was already a tech prodigy by then, and spends almost all her time trying to find ways to help out her Grandma and herself.
  
  
  

  Personality

  Emma tries to be sociable, but finds it hard. She's usually too quiet, trying to observe what she can, or trying to ignore all the tech around her. She knows how to crack a joke, and hopefully get a laugh, but other than that she just turns out to be a little too cold for most people. She can panic easy, and when defensive she can get sassy and have some attitude.
  
  
  But, Emma tries to be kind to someone if they're hurt or sick, and she's protective of people who are smaller and not as strong as herself.

Lava Manipulation

Weakness:

Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon of the knowledge, skill, and strength of his power.

He cant control the matter in other people.

He can't completely control Metal, only bend and shape it.

The lava, sand and mud has to be nearby to control it.

Personality:

He can be considered as manipulative and tricky. In a way he likes to start shit. Not many people get close to him to know much about his true personality. He's known as cunning and tactical and likes causing trouble among the masses. He is quite skilled in street smarts and blades. He at times seems uncaring and bored. He knows how to charm people and sweet talk them into getting what he wants. He's very cocky and arrogant, he clams to be better than everyone. He only works for those who can give him something that benefits him.

Backstory:

Chrono lived a pretty fucked up past. He had rich parents, sure, but they never really cared for him. Even when they found out that he had a mental disorder they could care less, this led to a very unstable boy. Maybe that was their downfall in the end. They had debts to pay with the local Mafia , they offered Chrono as a payment. The boss took the boy under his wing and Chrono ended up being medicated for the first time in his life. He went through the training that every soldier went in the life, though he found that he was more adept with gathering information through manipulation. His "father" found out about this and enlisted him to gather information for them, from enemies or people the boss thinks has valuable information for them. When the mafia spread to Valor Glad, Chrono took residence there at 15. This was only because Chrono found out about the power of the Earth he had. He studied at the Academy and it is his Junior year there. He lives in a loft in the downtown area. Little does anyone know, Chrono has his own plans for this "Utopia".

~Valor Glade PD: Wanted Persons~


Open File 77


--->


Alias: "Ghoul"


Name: June Carnegro

The picture on the bottom was taken by a recovered security camera that had fallen to the ground after a lengthy confrontation between "Ghoul" and a specialist task force assigned to investigate widespread rumors of a "hellish creature" that had been reportedly prowling around a residential district of Valor Glade. The task force employed a mixture of corrosive chemical agents and flamethrowers, as well as a weaponized adhesive to hinder the creature's incredibly nimble mobility. Despite having over 60% of its flesh corroded away or seared off, the creature managed to escape by voluntarily severing its own foot from the adhesive holding it down, proceeding to drop to all fours and force itself down through a nearby storm drain.


DNA Analysis of the discarded foot, as well as digital facial reconstruction techniques have confirmed the creature's identity as June Carnegro, an up-and-coming Academy student 19 years of age who was declared missing halfway through his first year at the Academy, and confirmed dead after his mangled body was found stuffed into a dumpster in a crime-intensive neighborhood. An autopsy was performed, but the body subsequently was misplaced and disappeared before it could be buried. This places his reappearance at a little over 5 years after his body disappeared. It is unknown if June was "resurrected" right away, or it if was a more gradual process, but the latter is most likely the case.


Currently, the only theory regarding his revival is a second Awakening that triggered upon his death. This has not yet been confirmed.


ABILITIES: Retrieval of June's Academy student file revealed that, in essence, June was capable of controlling his own bodily functions. He could consciously alter his heart rate, metabolism, even manually release chemicals in his body like dopamine or adrenaline. These abilities are reflected in his current self, as he has been observed to maintain above-average adrenaline levels and heart rates as well as shut off his pain receptors, particularly when threatened or confronted. June has also demonstrated a myriad of new abilities that he never possessed before his death, which mainly revolve around biological augmentation and cellular regeneration.


June can manually reshape his body, shifting organs and bones around to allow him to fit into tight spaces or dodge incoming attacks. His bones can be protruded out through his skin and even manually sharpened, most often utilized to turn his fingers into veritable claws. His fingernails can also be similarly sharpened, and he will usually default to fighting with his nails unless he requires the more durable option of using his digits instead. He can alter the chemical composition of his stomach acid, allowing him to regurgitate or sweat out said chemical through his skin for offensive or utility purposes. In this fashion, he can also exhale chemicals in gaseous form. So far, June has demonstrated the capability to produce the following chemicals:

• an enhanced, more potent variant of stomach acid, used to combat armored opponents
  
• a black adhesive compound, most commonly discharged toward his target's eyes in an attempt to blind them, but sometimes also aimed at the feet to hinder movement
  
• a foul-smelling transparent fluid, used as lubricant to escape capture and assist movement through tight spaces.
  
• a modified version of his own blood, infused with an additional unidentified chemical. The smell alone is usually enough to nauseate and weaken organisms that inhale its stench. Usually utilized at the start of a conflict for an early advantage, and almost always exhumed through the skin for a longer-lasting effect that follows him.
  
• a noxious crimson gas, essentially organic tear gas, but much less potent, and with much more temporary symptoms.
  
• a black, cloudy gas saturated with various strains of common pathogens. Causes sickness within 24 hours in virtually all subjects who are unfortunate enough to inhale it, can be especially dangerous to subjects with poor immune systems.
  

Agents are to be warned that this list is not definitive, and to always observe the standard chemical safety protocol when engaging the subject.


The last ability the Ghoul has been confirmed to possess is a primitive regenerative power. He can regrow lost limbs within 24 hours, major lacerations and broken bones within an hour, and surface cuts within seconds. This regeneration can take place automatically during physical activity such as combat. June's behavior and ability to return to a fight after fleeing suggest that this self-healing can occur much faster while resting.


BEHAVIOR: While June has clearly gone through many psychological changes as a result of his revival, a part of him still seems to resemble his former self, curious, resourceful, and never lacking in conviction. His changes are marked by a significant increase in hostility, almost always responding with violence when approached by law enforcement, task forces, or any other specialist teams. He does not engage in crime for the sake of greed or desperation, interestingly enough, his patterns and behavior seem to indicate he is undertaking an investigation of sorts, most likely the cause of his own death. The targets he have visited so far display intriguing backgrounds, but as of yet he has not visited anyone with whom he had a personal connection in his past life. June is perfectly capable of assuming his normal, human appearance, as shown in the picture above on the left, but often chooses to assume his more grotesque form for the sake of intimidation and, perhaps, so as to avoid the city's facial recognition software in security cameras. His normal human appearance is used primarily in the daytime for the sake of subtlety, often wearing sunglasses, shades, hats or clothes with hoods to conceal his face from cameras and officers of the law.


June has also been confirmed to be capable of speech. Transcript logs of the audio recordings can be found attached to this file. Administrator access is required.


PROTOCOL FOR ENGAGING SUBJECT: While definitely a versatile and tricky individual, the subject's abilities can only affect a small area around him, and thus, long-distance engagements are highly recommended whenever possible. However, the subject is accustomed to such offensives, and so in some cases a close range engagement is unavoidable. Avoid blunt instruments and physical blows, as June can recover from these types of injuries much faster than any other. Standard firearms are not typically effective, as the wounds they cause are small and can be easily remedied. Recommended weapons include the standard weaponized adhesives, blades, and tasers or stun batons. Electricity will often interfere with his otherwise unimpeded control over his own body, weakening him and allowing easier capture. Flamethrowers have also shown to be effective for containment purposes.


Standard gas masks, or, if necessary, a layer or two of cloth over one's nose and mouth are sufficient to protect the wearer from any of the harmful effects of inhaling any of the subject's chemical attacks, and plastic armor or hazmat suits will protect against any corrosive chemicals produced by the subject. The subject's body, though its strength can be temporarily enhanced with adrenaline and muscle enzymes, is built more for speed and agility, and as such the subject will most always prefer to subvert any physical obstacles rather than force his way through them.


When engaged, the subject's primary form of attack is an aggressive assault with sharpened fingernails or sharpened digits. The subject's abilities seem to improve its memory as well, as it has demonstrated a mimicry of the martial arts utilized by the various task forces it has faced since its reappearance. These primitively-copied martial arts, combined with feral slashing attacks, compromise its fighting style. It seems to utilize few tactics, preferring to attack first and ask questions later, and only flee when it is outmatched or if it has severe injuries that require its attention. Remain alert if the subject flees a fight, it will often return to reengage after it has rejuvenated itself. Trickery is also sometimes employed by the subject. On one occasion, it "played dead" by slowing its heartbeat to a near-stop, waiting for the unsuspecting purge squad members to approach and lower their guard before it sprang to its feet and attacked.


Exercise caution at all times.

@JacobLoL


Four things:


Your character sheet doesn't have any indication of moral alignment or loyalties he might have.


His powers don't seem to have any inherent weaknesses or flaws. He doesn't have good control over them, but that's his weakness, not a flaw in his abilities. Also, full-on mind control is a no-go.


You skipped writing a backstory for the cliche "forgot his origins" crap. I'm sorry if I seem rude, but I really hate it when people default to that. It doesn't really make sense that his abilities would rip holes in his own memories, and even if he does forget his backstory, you still need to include one. Just because he doesn't remember it doesn't mean he has no past.


If he is unable to use his abilities for personal gain and he's living homeless on the streets, there's no chance that he would have survived. If he doesn't even have control over his abilities, then there's no way he could use them effectively to find food and adequate shelter, let alone defend himself against criminals and other homeless people.

 

[SilentastheVoid]

NAME: Charles Davis


GENDER: Male


AGE: 28


APPEARANCE:


Charles Davis isn't one for flashy costumes. He regularly wears a leather jacket, and heavy combat boots while he's walking around for any reason. Jeans, and a t-shirt are enough for him. While his physical appearance changes depending on the situation he's in, his natural appearance is that of a thin build, standing at average height with pale green eyes and brown hair. He has a thin face with a slightly larger than normal, hooked nose, and thick expressive eyebrows.


POWERS:


Charles Davis is a survivor. His only constant ability is his fast healing. But this stems from his body's extremely fast adaptations. An enemy slashes his arm off, he'll grow a new one with armor. He breaks his fist striking an enemy, the bones mend harder than before. Any struggle he encounters, his body automatically adapts to overcome the challenge before it. While his healing factor is incredibly fast, it isn't perfect and an adaptation always occurs when his healing does. Strangely, hotter climates seem to cause his adaptations and healing to take longer. Charles theorizes that his body's changes cause intense body-heat and his instinct to survive will not allow his internal temperature to increase too far. On top of this, his body is highly efficient; metabolism, memory forming, senses, and caloric/and oxygen consumption. However, Charles lacks control.


His adaptation, and healing are automatic... and so he has not trained until recently, after discovering he CAN, learned to control even the fewest of adaptations. Those being, increasing athleticism, changing his basic appearance, growing armor plating (bone like material), and slightly increasing cognitive processing speed.


His powers are limited however, specifically by the body's natural fuel. He must eat incredible amounts after he uses his powers. And though his body efficiency IS enhanced, healing and changing uses the fuel his body needs much faster than normal. He can fight for a good amount of time, using his adaptations and healing for about ten to fifteen minutes if needed. But afterwards he'd be starved and need to consume as much food as he could hold within his body... in that state, TWICE as much food as even the most notable competitive eater. This is the main limit to his power, his body is however affected by anything that affects a normal body unless an adaptation has ALREADY taken hold to resist it.


PERSONALITY


Charles Davis is a lazy, but just man. He strives to obey the law, and enforce them, but doesn't hesitate when the laws are abused for darker intent. His alignment would be best labeled to neutral good, as he isn't above breaking the law in order to serve the greater good. Breaking the law for this reason is always a last resort.


HISTORY


Briefly, Charles Davis was a biology major at the University of Washington before his awakening. Born and raised in the pacific northwest. Ironically enough, the evolutionary science specialist became the embodiment of his studies. Finding the topic drab now, Charles went to try and use his new found abilities for good. So he went to Valor Glade and became certified to use his powers alongside law enforcement.


((I am sorry... I didn't realize I had to submit characters first. ))

@SilentastheVoid


Don't sweat it, dude. I like your character, but to avoid overpowered-ness, I will need you to select one of the following restrictions, specifically for his adaptation ability.


Option #1: His adaptations only last for a set amount of time. For instance, a flamethrower might allow him to grow flameproof skin, but after a pre-established duration, his skin would once more become vulnerable to fire.


Option #2: His adaptations can last indefinitely, but he can only have a set number of adaptations active at one time, and has to sacrifice old adaptations if he desires to switch to a new one.


Either way, his adaptations will require adequate time to develop once exposed to any given danger, the time increasing with hotter weather or a shortage of nutrients.


Other than that, everything looks good! If you want, you could talk to @Riddle78 about your character and his character possibly being coworkers. I think it'd be an interesting prospect.

 

[SilentastheVoid]

My original idea, given his body is sped up, was that he can adapt to an infinite number of things. But id the adaptation isn't used for more than say five minutes, it starts to fade away. Within seven, being completely gone. But I can argue for option 2 as well, saying that your DNA is only so long as to contain so much information.


Which do you prefer?

 

[SilentastheVoid]

Also, we could combine them.


His body separates willful modifications from automatic ones. The adaptations that are automatic could work on the timed system, while intentional modifications are only available 5 at a time.

 

[Snek]

Your combined idea doesn't sound optimal. It allows for immunity to too many different things at once, and your character is already tricky enough to defeat as is with his regeneration. I'd prefer the second option, with no time limit but a limit to the number of adaptations. It's easier to work with, and we don't have to argue about passage of time or any of that. It makes it clear-cut what he's currently immune to and what he isn't.

 

[SilentastheVoid]

Alright, that'll work out. It does make things much easier, and I admire your attention to systematics as well as story.

 

[Riddle78]

I'm honestly the Supreme Commander got accepted,considering the fact that they're functionally a Grey Goo scenario.

 

[Noah]

Alias: Swarm


Name: Vincent Rudel - Age: 23


Occupation: Pest Control.


Abilities: Insect Host. Vincent's body hosts a variety of insects in him. Ranging from wasps, ants, and beetles. He can control any insect produced in his body and the insects are released through crevices in his arms. It is not painful for Vincent, but he got used to the unsettling sight after awhile. Vincent never releases the few egg-laying insects inside his body that can replenish any lost insects. Wasp stings can cause paralysis and numbing with enough stings. Ants can burrow and deliver painful bites. They lock on hard. Beetles are carniverous and restore energy to Vincent when they consume flesh. Vincent is weak without his insects. If a majority of them are wiped out, he is left vulnerable. The egg-laying insects take a few hours to repopulate within Vincent. All of his insects are susceptible to fire and wasps are rendered flightless and weak when wet. Vincent has a heightened metabolism due to the fact that he is hosting swarms of insects within him. Without food, his insects become weak and die-off if he is starving. Due to his job, he can have his insects feed on the pests in peoples home.


Moral Alignment: Neutral. Vincent simply wishes to survive. Typically his actions further his own interests.


Personality: Vincent is very cautious. Never seeking conflict with anybody. If he does enter a fight, it must be under good conditions for his insects to survive. If not, escape is the preferred option. Vincent is also typically withdrawn, preferring the company of his insects over people. Plus many people are disgusted when/if they find out that bugs live inside him. Vincent always tries to be polite and neutral. Hardly making an opinionated statement as to not offend anyone or take sides. Unbeknownst to him, however, he will have to face a choice or face death.


History: Vincent was awakened while walking through the park. A person ran past him, shoving Vincent headfirst into a pile of leaves. A few bugs within the leaves were caught in the impact and some were accidentally eaten by Vincent. He soon felt some stomach pain and went home to get some antacid. Vincent decided to sleep it off. When he woke up, he found slits on his arms. He exclaimed in shock when he saw bugs crawl out from his arms. They seemed to follow his command too. Vincent had always heard of people acquiring new abilities. Many of times, criminals or vigilantes-gone-wrong who appeared on the TV had powers. Vincent never knew it would happen to him. He continues on with life, not doing crime as to avoid run-ins with the police. As well as not trying to be a vigilante as not many would respond well to his insects.
