    Default <~{ World of Heroes }~> Sign-Ups

    Circa 1000 BC – Tales of 'Gods' sweep through civilised Europe. The most famous examples are Asclepius, a supernatural healer, Prometheus, who could create fire, and Hercules, a man endowed with superhuman strength. Likewise, people hear of beasts such as Medusae, Mermaids and Minotaurs.

    Circa 300 AD – A man named George single-handedly slays a dragon and is revered as a Saint in Christianity.

    700-1400 AD – Wizards, witches and alchemists perform fabulous feats across both Islamic and European nations. Many kingdoms have an established royal magician, and some rulers are fascinated with the dark arts.

    1450-1700 AD – Supernatural powers are viewed as heathen and anyone who claims or is accused of being witches or demons are burned alive. By 1700, all traces of anyone displaying supernatural powers are lost.

    1st January 1963 – Minutes after midnight (GMT), large structures appeared in the skies and out poured thousands of alien craft and hundreds of thousands of alien invaders. Across the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and the South Pacific, major cities are targeted and the defences of nations are quickly overwhelmed. However, ordinary citizens suddenly display extraordinary powers, some being able to fly and others being able to shoot fire from nothing. As the sun broke, thousands of so-called ‘Supers’ were selflessly risking their lives to save the human race. By the end of the day, the alien forces had been dealt an irrecoverable blow and what was left of their forces limped back to their home planet.

    2nd January 1963 – President Kennedy issued a proclamation thanking the Supers of the world for their heroic contribution and a monument for those lost in the battle is erected at the National Mall, Washington D.C.. One of the most prominent American heroes, Richard Cadman, is invited to make a speech by the President and he announces the formation of the League of Heroes, an international organisation tasked with protecting humanity and assisting in global humanitarian projects. One of their most stringent and celebrated codes is that they should not side with any political affiliation or government.

    A decade of prosperity followed this milestone in human history and the human race enters a ‘golden age’ give many countries developing and many projects underway. This period was not to last though. The Soviets, in their race to become the one superpower, sent any Supers in their states to training camps and scientific labs in order to harness their true potential, trying to create so-called ‘Super-Soldiers’. In response, President Nixon agreed to the secret, and once exposed highly controversial, Patriot Program, conscripting Supers into fighting alongside regular forces. Many of those conscripted were members of the League of Heroes and as such contravened their code. Many heroes refused to fight, whereas others side with their country. A schism between Western and Eastern heroes in the league caused its collapse, and without a strong united front of superheroes, super-villains began appearing across the globe. Richard Cadman is elected the 39th President of the United States, but disillusioned with the job, he resigns in 1981 after only 1 term.

    The year 2008, and there is no longer any global united super force. Individual heroes protect cities or just do crime-fighting, some villains use their powers for evil and some have returned to civilian life. However, a parting gift from the alien forces has begun to stir, and soon the entire planet will be at risk once again.

    Name: Alyssa Morgan

    Alias: She deems herself, "Nuanica".

    Gender: Female

    Age: 21

    Nationality: American

    Alignment: Neutral Neutral (Not really good or evil and inbetween Chaotic/Lawful.)

    Powers: Nuanica's powers are... chaotic in themselves, to describe it best. Still unable to master her powers, she is not even fully aware of them. It appears that she has the ability to harness energy, usually taking a violet ball-like shape and use that as a simple tool like one would use a fireball. When feeling extreme emotions however, is when her capabilities show... for things usually start exploding or hurling about. (Think sorta like Scarlet Witch, pre-controled.) She's trying to control herself, although her origins make it difficult for her. She also can transform into a large, shadowy wolf, but that is also something she cannot control yet.

    Power Source: Energy or Shadow, depends how you look at it.

    Weaknesses: Her own emotions, for her own personal weakness. Her other weakness is quite simply drugs- if given a powerful suppressant, her emotions don't go crazy and she doesn't trigger anything since she doesn't know how to utilize her powers. When (if) she learns how to control them, I will discover a different weakness for her. :3

    Personality: Timid, aloof, afraid... she mutated at age 16 and her appearance changed drastically and her emotional overload practically demolished her household. After her parent's death, she fled and since then has been an outcast. Unable to show herself in daylight, she has grown to be a loner and a bit pessimistic about life overall. If someone calls out for help, she might go help them depending on the situation... but at the other hand, if it would expose herself she most likely would not. She's not sure where she should stand in the world, and hence is leaving herself in the shadows for the most part.

    Appearance: Long-legged, slim and proportionally curved... Nuanica, if looking more human, would have found life easy as a model. However, her mutant-like appearance causes most fear and alarm. Her entire skin black- not pitch black, but dark enough to be called black and not gray. Near her neck is a few small tuffs of fur and is the only spot that fur is upon her body other than her non-humanoid components. Her nose is slightly smaller than what would be considered 'normal' and her icey blue eyes have slitted pupils within. Her long blonde hair remains, flowing down almost to her hips and framing the front of her face to create layered too-long-to-be bangs. Protruding from her head are large, fox/wolf-like ears and Nuanica does not have human ears. An overly large, thick-furred black tail also matches those ears, setting her clearly apart from all of society. Her feet are always placed in a position as if she were always walking on her tip toes although they appear to be normal human feet.

    Usually Nuanica wears skin-tight black clothing to help blend in and has an overly-larged hooded jacket that she uses to cover herself up. It billows out so far behind her that it makes her look like a really overweight person, due to her tail being hidden. She doesn't wear shoes.

    Weapons: Herself.

    History: Nuanica grew up in a normal suburbian family setting. She was extremely beautiful, popular and enjoyed playing sports such as basketball and swimming. Her parents were quite proud of her and her younger brother, who was in a similiar situation. However, soon as Nuanica hit sixteen, everything changed. Slowly her skin started to darken and her body shifted, her human ears shifting slightly in position and growing into what they appear to be now. Frightened, scared and appauled, Nuanica's emotions began shattering lights, flinging furniture and such. Her parents were also frightened and enlisted in help, but the night before they were due to head off to a facility, a Nuanica's parents died.
    During the night, while Nuanica slept, her subconcious seemed to transform her into her more shadowy, wolven state and it was in that state that she murdered her parents- unknown to her conscious. When Nuanica came to, she had transformed back into her humanoid appearance and discovered not only her dead parents, but herself covered in blood.

    Fleeing and leaving her brother, Nuanica fled and now lives in Chicago- away from her suburbian home.

    Nuanica now makes a living in the basement of an abandoned warehouse. Every day when she hides herself and prepares to sleep, she shackles herself to the wall to prevent her wolven self to go anywhere- for it seems that sleep is the most common trigger to her transformation. At night, Nuanica merely prowls for food and often tries to find a way to make a meager buck although it is quite difficult for her, given her situation.

    Theme(s): Fallen Angel Remix
    Ten Black Roses - The Rasmus

    Relationships: She wonders about her brother often.

    Accepted! Anyway, here is mine:

    Name: Jaecar Mikitenko
    Alias: Red Bear (he is only known by this name; only a select few call him by his real name)
    Gender: Male
    Age: 42
    Nationality: German/Russian
    Alignment: Neutral
    Powers: He is naturally imbued with super-strength, stamina and regeneration. On top of that, he has been modified with armour-plating and in-built weapons.
    Power Source: Inherited/Technology
    Weaknesses: Large enough blasts can take him down, as can wearing him down. He can also run out of fuel, severely limiting his offensive capabilities. He is also a bit old and rusty.
    Personality: Bitter and resentful, he is a forgotten relic of the Soviet age and as such he isn't the friendliest of sorts. He is loud and outspoken and does not care if he offends or upsets anyone. However, he is intelligent and can display a degree of empathy, plus his experience and age has wisened him to the world and he may just divulge his wisdom to younger types.
    Appearance: He stands at 6' 4" and is a muscular Caucasian man. He sports a reddish-brown beard and has tough, worn skin. He has huge hairy eyebrows and in quite hirsute all over. Steel plates have been grafted all over his body, including his arms, torso, legs and his head, where his hair should be. He wears an eye-patch as he lost his eye many years ago. He usually wears dark, dirty combat trousers and a white vest, with a dark trenchcoat. He also has a small cylindrical fuel tank grafted into his back which causes a long hump down his back, which he hides with a bullet-proof red cape, which has a faded hammer-and-sickle on it.
    Weapons: He has hidden flamethrowers in his hands and his boots are rocket-boots, allowing limited flight capabilities.
    History: The son of a Soviet super that fought against the aliens and a German civilian, he was raised in Leipzig, East Germany. Being the son of a super, he developed his own powers in adolescence and was targeted by Soviet authorities for their own Super program. Take from his parents aged 9, he was trained to fight for the Soviet cause in a secret camp in Siberia, and to boost his powers he was unwillingly fitted with his armour and weapons. He was sent to fight in Afghanistan for the Soviet cause, but as the conflict drew to a close, he became disillusioned and deserted back to Germany. In response, the Soviets disowned him, making him nationality-less. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he found a deserted retreat in the Bavarian Alps. Local authorities know that he has no nationality but they have agreed not to turn him in to immigration authorities, knowing it would be more trouble than it is worth. The new Russian government have a staunch policy disavowing any relations to Soviet supers, thus preventing him from regaining Russian citizenship.
    Theme(s): Rammstein - Feuer Frei
    Relationships: His parents are dead, otherwise he had a mentor known as Crazy Ivan whose whereabouts are currently unknown
    Other: Nope.

    Name: Jason Landrew
    Alias: Sentinel
    Gender: Male
    Age: 16
    Nationality: America
    Alignment: Good, Lawful
    Powers: The ability to bend gravity and physics around his body, allowing to pull off super human feats and quick speed. He also has been trained and skilled in martial arts due to his past history, as well as being a talented swordsman.
    Power Source: Magical/Natural
    Weaknesses: He is weak to magic, specifically magic blasts, he can take normal weapons fire in his armor, but anything stronger could blast it apart.
    Personality: He is incredibly naive about the evil in the world as well as the less than clear difference of dark and light in the world. He acts some what foolish as a hero, getting himself into dangerous situations with out thinking, and usually biting off more than he can usually chew. This can also come from his need to show off in front of both a general audience as well as cute girls.
    Appearance: Standing about five foot four inches Jason does not look very intimidating; his body is a bit lanky, but with a lot of muscle definition. He is very clean shaven, with dirty blonde hair that remains uncut and messy, some times dipping below the top of his ears and his eyes. His costume is a modified version of his Gymnastics leotard, the color of it being black with dark red circles on either side of his waist. The leotard is modified with light Kevlar armor on the chest, back, arms, and leggings.
    Weapons: His Twin Swords
    History: Jason grew up surrounded by the sport of gymnastics, both of his parents were gymnastic coaches for Olympic athletes, and as such he not only grew up learning and exceeding in gymnastics, but was also surrounded by the best athletes the country provided. At a young age Jason fell in love with comic books and any story of super heroes no matter how exaggerated.

    When he finally became aware of his powers, Jason decided privately he would emulate the heroes he had always read about, and his home life gave him the perfect opportunity for that. He was able to learn sword fighting from some of the greatest fencers in the country, he was able to learn Judo and martial arts from some of the greatest contestants in those sports, and he continued his studies in gymnastics, all in the hope that when he became old enough that he could join the ranks of the other heroes.

    Name: Unknown
    Alias: Poltergeist
    Gender: Female
    Age: Suspected to be late 20s
    Nationality: Unknown; has shown the ability to speak several languages fluently, though if this is because of her past or her psychic talents is unknown.
    Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, leaning towards evil. She likes things that go boom. *cackles maniacally*
    Powers: Mild telepathy, but her talent lies in telekinesis, phasing, and minor alterations to her appearance (ie, hair color, eye color, ect.).
    Power Source: Some suspect she is an experiment gone wrong, hence her lack of identity or past; if you asked her, perhaps she would say that she was divine, but who can take the word of the insane?
    Weaknesses: She cannot phase through water or wet ground. Both strong shadow and strong divine magic can disrupt the use of her powers.
    Personality: Absolutely dark, twisted, and insane. She loves nothing more than panic; the bigger, the better. There is little rhyme or reason with her actions, however some suspect that she has some deep, dark secret that motivates her. Whether or not this is true remains to be seen...

    Weapons: Assorted blades hidden on her person; she is also very accomplished with martial arts.

    Name: Patrick Langham

    Alias: Resonance

    Gender: Male

    Age: 28

    Nationality: American

    Alignment: more towards good and more towards lawful

    Powers: Resonance can amplify sounds to extreme levels; this is usually manifested in controlled, focused "pockets" of sound that have a concussive force

    Power Source: A very sensitive yet powerful geological cousin to adamantium, "euphontium," makes up his vocal cords, which are spliced on and connected, by said metal, from his trachea through his shoulders to his palms.

    Weaknesses: Resonance's powers only work from his vocal cords; when muzzled, he is useless. Also, he is a passive-aggressive hothead, very prone to getting into trouble.

    Personality: As earlier mentioned, Resonance can be somewhat of a jerk. He is imprinted with the Puritan work ethic (the best thing one can do to be a good person is to do his share) and demeans those who he deems are not living up to such a standard. He is in this respect, though, a hard and diligent worker who knows his place (even if he thinks he also knows others' places). Work is his life; outside his tasks, he makes little room for friends or free time, save the occasional card game.

    Appearance: Patrick is a plainclothes hero; he wears tattered khaki pants and an oversize yet thin forest green leather jacket with a light brown undershirt that used to be white. A dusty fedora adorns his short, trimmed black hair and hides his leathery complexion, clean shaven face, and fuzzy brown eyes. Black hiking boots match a thick black belt and fingerless leather gloves. Physically, he has nimble fingers and small feet; his most distinguishing trait, though, is the presence of metal on and under his skin, showing prominently on his throat and palms.

    Weapons: Resonance sometimes uses other pieces of metal he finds lying around to aid in, well, resonance. Otherwise, his cupped hands provide his voice with the perfect outlet.

    History: Patrick's father was a super who dodged his draft with the Patriot Program, opting to live his days out on the nation's ever-fading railways. He only settled down once, conceiving a child and heading out before his progeny could hardly walk. It is said, however, that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree: after a horrible accident that left him scarred in a straight line with multiple broken bones, Patrick was subjected to a cutting-edge procedure replacing the crushed body parts with euphontium. Within hours of the procedure, Patrick was walking the rails himself, hoping to find his long-missing father.

    Theme(s): "City of New Orleans" - Arlo Guthrie

    Relationships: As mentioned, son of draft-dodging super; identity, powers, and whereabouts all unknown

    Other: In vocal range, Resonance is really more of a bass-baritone, with a range from B-flat 1 to D 4.

    >.< Everytime I do this, the computer explodes!


    Name: Real name unknown (Whatever is on his birth certificate)

    Alias: Nazerith

    Gender: None

    Age: ???

    Nationality: ???

    Alignment: Lawful Evil

    Powers: Nazerith can animate inanimate objects, fly, and the general super human strength.

    Power Source: Water, the more water Nazerith contains inside him, the longer he can keep things animated. He expells water when he preforms this ability to animate.

    Weaknesses: Drying out. Once he his out of water, he freezes up so to speak and becomes a simple but large stone gargoyle.

    Personality: A reserved being with a freaky intense focus.

    Appearance: A twelve foot tall gargoyle come to life. Nazerith's eyes gleem red, his have a rather beak like mouth, large bat like wings, long tail, and tiger claws. He is grey all over.

    Weapons: Stone statues, metal monsters, his teeth and claws and tail and body.

    History: Nazerith was, of course, abandoned as a child for his freakish appearance. A straving artist plunked him out of the dumpster he was left in. The artist was a carver, and painter and found this child beast beautiful. He raised this generless creature up, which was alot cheeper then a cat, since he didn't need to feed it. The creature spoke frightfully early, naming itself Nazerith, after a carving the man was working on. The creature grew and grew, until it was too large to fit in the apparement. So, in the dead of the night, he smuggled the monster to the nearest Cathideral. Nazerith watched the man make his way home under the shadow of the church when he was mugged and killed by two men in the said shadow. Nazerith quickly dispatched them. From that day forward, Nazerith lurks in the shadows, killing off anyone who isn't beautiful in his eyes- anyone who hunts for money, and anyone who isn't artistic. Centuries passed... Nazerith gained the ability to animate at the cost of his simple life. Now he must perch in the open, waiting for rain to fall (Though he found a nice water hole in the seware the other day, and is not above bathing in holy water). However, he has not waivered in his hunt. He will kill all those who do not create art, and hide in greed.

    Theme(s): http://www.last.fm/music/...And+You+...rgoyle+Waiting Gargoyle Waiting

    Relationships: He once fell in love with a statue of Venus...

    Other: He enjoys fine arts and lively tourests.

    Okay, I'll join. Stop pulling my leg! XP

    Name: Nia Windfall
    Alias: Aria
    Gender: Female
    Age: 20
    Nationality: Greek American
    Alignment: Neutral Chaotic
    Powers: Her voice can have different effects, from breaking glass (and anything else that's breakable), to disorientation, to putting people to sleep. A different song for each attack. There's even a mind-control song, but the victim is only affected while she's singing and within a certain range, but the victim doesn't have to hear it to be affected. Her powers can be amplified if there's an echo, but that makes it hard to focus.
    Power Source: She's one of the last surviving Sirens from Greek Mythology. The mixing of genes and the thinning of the bloodline has made her appearance totally human.
    Weaknesses: Since her powers involve her vocal cords, her voice weakening can definitely be a bad thing. And she can't sing if she can't breathe.
    Personality: Laid-back and lacking in the chivalry department. In fact, she's prone to use her powers for random troublemaking. She'll usually only use her powers for her own benefit. But she does have a conscience so she'll have what she calls "Boy Scout moments", but only after having an argument with her reluctant side. She tries to stay away from heroics as much as possible because she thinks that people will expect her to be a full-time superhero. Sarcastic most of the time, but will be friendly towards others if she thinks they're genuine.
    Appearance: 5'9" and light as a feather. Long brown hair that she adorns with a headband. Her bright green eyes go well with her tanned skin. Since she doesn't do a lot of running or jumping, she prefers to wear long skirts and white T-shirts with sandals. A tattoo of a snake wraps around her right calf.
    Weapons: Besides her own voice, she carries around a special flute in a hip pouch. Given to her ancestors from the Muses and carried down through the generations, it can help her shield her from and reflect enemies' attacks as she plays it.
    History: Her power had been known ever since she came out of the womb and cracked the family doctor's glasses with her cries. Nia's family has had to hide the secret that traits of their mythical ancestry pop up once every century, and only in the girls. The last time a Windfall Siren had been revealed, they were burned at the stake. In fact, the last four times ended in execution. Although it's not very popular in current times, they didn't want to take chances. She took special medicine that gave her a sore throat and home-schooled her until she was eighteen. By then she had good control of her powers.
    Theme(s): Theme of Love - Metal Gear Solid 4 soundtrack
    Relationships: none that I know of at the moment
    Other: There have been times that she sings a certain song to herself, in Latin. She doesn't know that some people tend to hallucinate about random things when they hear it.

    I know there's hardly anything there but I have class soon. Don't worry, I hate it and will finish it as soon as the teacher's back is turned. *winks*

    EDIT: Finished. If there's anything wrong with it, or you don't want two heroes with sound-based powers, please let me know.

    Name: Sigil-038
    Alias: Sigil
    Gender: Female
    Age: Appears 26
    Nationality: Canadian
    Alignment: Neutral / Neutral
    Powers: Super-fast regeneration, Super-sight, Sigil is rather hard to kill by shooting/slicing/etc. Her entire bone structure is made of a powerful, yet super-light metal (meaning don’t punch her, or she’s split you in two). Her brain, for all intensive purposes is a combination between alien and human technology (forming a high-tech computer) and there are numerous hidden ports under her skin that allow her to direct link with computer systems, she can also remotely access many electronic machines like cars, planes, etc. The metal in her system (along with her brain) is constantly evolving on its own, so new powers might come later (and others might leave).
    Power Source: Alien / Technology
    Weaknesses: Powerful Magnets, oh… She can be reprogrammed to follow another being…
    Personality: Sigil, for being an A.I, is quite curious about human nature and being a ‘person’. She does not experience anger, happiness, or misery like we do, in fact she sort of lacks in the entire personality compartment. Her answers are short and to the point, and she often does not need explanation for others, she also can’t grasp humour or sarcasm very well… Taking everything as seriously as she’s programmed too… Oh, for being a computer, its insanely hard to gain her trust.
    Appearance: Dark Brown hair dyed blond (the roots show), her hairs goes down just below her shoulders and is often tied back into a ponytail. Her eyes are brown for the most part, but turn blue and glow when using one of her powers (save for super strength). Sigil appears as an athletic, attractive late twenties woman who always looks serious. She’s usually wearing some sort of t-shirt, with a black trench coat and blue jeans, so she fits in.
    Weapons: Most electronics, and super strength.
    History: Sigil was discovered by a man who lived out in northern Ontario, he contacted the authorities who were immediately overthrown by a secret branch of the Canadian government who took Sigil-038 into their custody. The woman was for all intensive purposes dead, when performing an autopsy, it was discovered that she was a crude combination of alien technology and a human. Her bones were a never before seen metal that, if cut in half, were reform into its original state quite quickly. The Canadian government implemented their own technology (no doubt imported from somewhere….) and soon enough Sigil-038 was mess of blood, flesh, wires, metal, and an advanced alien computing brain.
    One of the lead scientists accidentally activated Sigil, but because of the human reprogramming, she did nothing. Soon after that she disappeared, escaping from the facility and entering the real world where she wanders. Keeping her distance from those who would try to reprogram her for their own wishes (meaning she keeps away from mostly everyone).
    Theme(s): Criminal By Disturbed
    Relationships: Tis open…
    Other: If you need to compare her to something, she’s a terminator of sorts…

    Ive been waiting for something to inspire me and get me writing again.

    Name: Selene Richmond (Thats right....a Girl!)
    Alias: She doesnt use one
    Gender: F
    Age: 23
    Nationality: British
    Alignment: Good but Neutral. Doesnt specifically try to break laws etc but will do whats nessecary.

    Powers: Able to create and manipulate a form of energy. She can use this energy as a forcefield however cant focus it into any specific shape and simply generates a Bubble around a fixed point (herself, another person/object etc) By generating the bubble outward and away from her she can also 'float' within the bubble giving the illusion of low level flight. She has practiced using the energy offensively by expelling it at the point of impact from her punches and kicks. She is able to expel short range (1ft at most) concussive plasts.
    She has another power that she is totally unaware of. A mild form of psychic ability known as Suggestion. She cant put people in trances or control their mind etc but she can influence their thoughts by words or even looks. Close proximity also triggers the effect. It can be used to her advantage if discovered and trained but at the moment its more that if she wants something she is good at convincing people. It can also cause people to see her slightly differently than she is, perhaps resembling somone else more closely enough to fool people. It doesnt change her features in any way, it simply alters how people perceive her. She has managed to get into a fair number of nightclubs when she was younger without being Id'd etc.

    Power Source: Simply a natural mutation she was born with as far as she knows though only discovered when she was caught in a cave in near her family home.

    Weaknesses: Any form of Gas attack. She can make her bubble air tight although this will obviously cut off her own air. Also repetitive high impact on the shield can fatigue her. Her latent Psychic ability is useless against anything electronic. Voice/Face recognition systems cant be fooled, and anyone looking at her through a computer screen/over the phone etc though since its a latent talent, she doesnt know these things yet.

    Personality: Quite grumpy and a little snobby at times. Its more of a defence to hide her loneliness which she blames on her being different, and nothing at all to do with the fact she doesnt try to make friends.
    Appearance:http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...AnimeWoman.jpg
    Weapons: none
    History: Raised in a quiet country house in Northern England she lived with her parents untill they both fell ill and passd away. She now lives alone with no real outside contact other than occaisional shopping trips and the odd night out to relax with company. She treats herself as an outcast because of her abilities and tries to hide them from everyone, using them only if needed.
    Theme(s): Foo Fighters - Pretender
    Relationships: none
    Other: nope....

    btw, it is incredibly hard to find a decent pic of an 'over-teenage' female that isnt naked, tied up, or in possesion of a hugely over inflated rack....

    My other sign-up... something a tad bit different.

    Name: Unknown

    Alias: By the Chinese government, her label is "Shengmingli", which means "life force". Some of the workers there have labeled her "Blood" (translated into English).

    Gender: Female

    Age: Appears 12-14 or so.

    Nationality: Chinese

    Alignment: Undetermined. She doesn't even seem to have much of a will of her own anymore, thus her alignment is usually defined by those she is around. Could be labeled as "neutral". Has very little understanding of 'right' and 'wrong'.

    Powers: Massive health regeneration. Her biggest point however, is her blood seems to share its healing properties to whatever organic being it comes in contact with. Also, one can feel a boost in energy/revitalized if they touch her- as if having taken a fresh shower, a cup of coffee or whatever 'pick me up' that person may like. However, this energy feeling is not shared with Shengmingli.

    Power Source: Natural

    Weaknesses: Shengmingli is physically weak and has no fighting potential what-so ever. Also, while her body regenerates at an alarming rate, she does feel fatigue and loses energy with her blood loss. So, while she may not die from blood loss, she definitely would be rendered immobile and unable to do anything until her body had regenerated the blood- which takes longer than all other tissues. She also has practically little will of her own and seems to follow the commands of others readily.

    Personality: Shengmingli has no personality, at first. Having been ripped from her parents by the government for testing for a couple years, she has been 'brainwashed' to have little will of her own and easily follows commands given to her by practically anyone. While if observed, she does show curiosity in other organic life forms.. as if she doesn't remember ever seeing one before.

    Appearance: Like This At the government research facility, she wears a red, yellow-flowered embroidered dress that is slightly faded and worn. She has matching slippers, but they too are a bit worn as well.

    Weapons: None

    History: Shengmingli, or "Blood" perhaps grew up in a normal, healthy Chinese family. Her father worked for a successful business and her mother merely stayed at home and tended to three children, including Shengmingli. However, one day while playing outside Shengmingli ran out into the busy streets of Shanghai and a car hit her, full on. Her torso had been crushed along with her legs and she was pronounced dead on site. However, within ten minutes or so... her organs had been repaired and she started to breath again and her bones then restructured and she 'came back to life'. Word immediately got out to the Government and they seized her from her family. Vowing to silence or death, her family had no choice but to give her up.

    It has been a year of tests and brainwashing for Shengmingli and she's stuck in a scientific research facility. There she lives in a small room with limited things and is always tired due to the consistent tests- although the government has yet to make any 'break throughs' or learn anything from her.

    However... rumors about her have been leaked out into certain parts of the world...

    Default Re: <~{ World of Heroes }~> Sign-Ups

    Name: Alex Hanson

    Alias: Chaotix

    Gender: Male

    Age: 25

    Nationality: American

    Alignment: Chaotic Good

    Powers: Alex’s power is based upon probability. In whatever situation he is in, his powers will provide him with an ability, an item, or some other thing that is applicable to the situation. His powers bend the rules of the world and form situations in which the improbably possibility that something useful would happen or exist would. For example, if Alex had a guy swinging a sword at him he could reach into a dumpster and improbably pull a medieval shield from it for the pure reason that it would be improbable for such a thing to be in the dumpster. His powers are always active to a certain degree making him improbably strong, fast, and durable though more in the way that he would survive a punch from a super rather than stand toe to toe and trade blows with them.

    Power Source: Alex has vast potential as a user of Magic but he is both untrained and unaware that that is the source of his ability to bend space and time.

    Weaknesses: The first main weakness is that though Alex can control the activation of his powers, the result is uncertain. While he can generally direct his powers to give him an ability or an item, he can’t control the specifics so in the dumpster case he might have just as easy pulled out a sword to fight back with or had a hobo drag him into the dumpster causing the sword to miss him. His second weakness is that, although he is unaware of it, his abilities are based on magic and without any training those trained in magic especially those in dispelling or countering would give him headaches trying to control his power, if he could at all, should they figure out the sources of his powers.

    Personality: Alex is quirky, witty, and understanding, as befits his powers that often leave him in unfortunate or ridiculous situations. He follows laws only to the extent that they follow the more ephemeral code of morals, he is more than willing to fight a police man abusing his authority if need be. He makes acquaintances easily and friends only when trust is allowed to grow. Unlike many heroes he doesn’t really have a “dark” and scarred side but he has seen his share of atrocities and sadness which gives him no illusions on the life of a hero. Alex is extremely practical as well and everything he has done in his life has been with an eye towards his career as a super, leading him to seek education and training that could benefit this role.


    Appearance: Alex is of average height with short brown hair and sparkling green eyes. He is muscled like a decathalete and bears several scars on his body from his experiences as a hero. His costume involves a black and white undersuit and a green cloak that he wears over his eyes. He wears normal street clothes much of the time and keeps the costume in a backpack he caries around. Designed by a more technologically inclined super, the backpack deploys the entire costume in such a way that Alex can be dressed within seconds if the need exists. When he activates his powers his eyes white out and display something of a faceted/staticy look. His powers alter his voice as well as it shifts through possibilities, making it sound as though several people are talking at once.

    Weapons: Alex has general training in a number of martial arts and with a variety of weapons since he never knows what he might be given. His powers give him an improbable amount of knowledge on how to use his weapons but it would be a stretch to call him a master at any one of them.

    History: Alex has had his powers since birth, often finding the solutions to his dilemmas right at hand a majority of the time. His parents, both magic users, recognized this but were killed on some endeavor soon after his was born. Taken in by a normal family who knows of Alex’s powers yet remains silent out of respect for his work, it left him with no knowledge as to the origin of his powers as he had been found wandering the streets after his parent’s death. He has worked as a vigilante super hero for most of his life yet managed to go through school and college with some success, gaining a degree in criminal justice and psychology so as to advice his actions and how he handles those he stops. He has seen many of those he has tried to protect die and while such things truly tore him up as he began, he has learned to face the grief in more of a natural way instead of blaming himself as he has come to realize that, at the very least, he tried to protect them which is better than they would have faced otherwise. While he is a mature super, having faced the ghosts that almost any hero does regarding his place and what happens when he fails he still feels inexperienced and largely ineffective in the great scope of things. He is currently extremely frustrated with his position in the community, feeling as though he's wasting his abilites in such a small area but not having any resources or contacts to give his goals a wider scope. He holds in his mind a vision of a perfect world and to waste away his life never seeing that come true is something he refuses to accept. This frustration has grown over the course of the last year and has truly began to gnaw at him as his inability to change it eats at his resolve at the path he has followed since birth.

    Theme(s): Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIRNdveLnJI

    Relationships: He probably knows many of the supers in his area and wouldn’t interfere with them as long as they’re on the nominally “good” side and would probably help most of them.

    Name: Simon Kell
    Alias: Psion formerly Psi Lad
    Gender: Male
    Age: 25
    Nationality: American
    Alignment: Neutral Good

    Powers: Tactile Telekinesis (TTK). Simon's body is surrounded by a telekinetic field that allows him to a number of things including granting him "super" strength, practical invulnerability, and flight. This is all achieved by exerting his field upon an object and on his own body in order to achieve the desired result. He must also be touching the object if it's not his own body, though if the object's that come into contact through outside force are also repelled. He can also force his field into machinery to break it apart or hold it together for as long as he can concentrate on and touch it. This also allows him to force the field between aggregate solid masses (such as sand) or a solid mass that has been splintered (like cracked concrete) causing it to 'explode' in a forceful manner. The protection of his field also can be extend to those he touches.

    Power Source: Psionic

    Weaknesses: Though he's trained extensively with his powers, Simon is far from completely mastering his TTK field. For instance, while he can affect solids and most liquids, he is unable to affect gas as he cannot truly 'touch' it. As well, he is quite susceptible to energy attack as he has not yet learned to how to complete diffuse them along his TTK field. It is also completely useless if he is not concious.

    Appearance: Simon is about 5'9" with a muscled, athletic build. His bluish-black hair is short and usually somewhat messy. His eyes are a dark shade of violet and seem to glow with a muted light when he's agitated, an aftereffect of the accident that gave him his powers. Usually wears some combination of leather biker jacket, jeans, and t-shirt when not fighting crime.

    His 'uniform' consists of a dark purple-black, sleeveless body suit, a short-sleeved brown jacket, fingerless gloves, and boots. To hide his identity, he wears a mask that covers his ears, back of his head, and forehead but leaves hair free flowing and a pair of red-tinted goggles.

    Personality: Easy going and down-to-earth, Simon is a very likable person. Chivalrous in a time where chivalry is often forgotten, he always keeps his word and is honorable to a fault. While not a truly reckless man, he will not hesitate to jump into danger to save innocent lives or fight for justice. Within him burns a fierce determination and will, but he knows its better to temper it with common sense and thought.

    Weapons: Simon keeps his body in peak condition and was formally trained in hand-to-hand combat by his Super mentor.

    History: Parents were a pair of scientists, particularly interested in the brain and psychic-powered Supers. They were joined by a third scientist, who eventually turned on them, killing them both to take the fruits of their research - the Psi-Tuner, a device that awakened latent psychic powers. While using the device on himself, a grief-stricken ten-year old Simon, who had been visiting his parents when their partner murdered them, attacked the scientist, inadvertently causing the Psi-Tuner to overload. Caught in the psychic backlash, the scientist went utterly mad as the power filled him, becoming a supervillain known as Doctor Psyker, while Simon's own powers awakened. Psyker fled the lab, leaving Simon to mourn his parents. A passing Super, having felt the backlash from the Psi-Tuner overload, came to investigate. Calling himself the Amethyst Prophet, he too was psionic powered and immediately could feel the effects the Psi-Tuner had on Simon. Taking the orphaned Simon in, he trained him to both master his powers and to temper his feelings. Eventually he became Psi Lad, the Prophet's sidekick, but his desire for vengeance still burned within him. Eventually Doctor Psyker reemerged into the public spotlight and Simon jumped at his chance. He attacked him headlong, but Psyker's powers were too great and soon he had Simon at his mercy. As he prepared to deal the finishing blow, the Prophet appeared, taking the blow for him. Seeing his second father figure fall, Simon went into a rage, causing his powers to surge as he launched himself at Psyker again to beat him to death. Before he could slay the demented doctor, the dying Prophet attempted to calm him.

    "A true hero must control his anger, lest it turn to hatred. Hatred will only lead to more hatred and more evil. He must not fight for vengeance, but for justice, to not give in to selfish desire, but stand as an ideal for good."

    His words reached Simon, and he instead turned over Doctor Psyker to the police. He also laid to rest his beloved mentor, swearing at his and the grave of his parents to never waver and become a true hero.

    Theme(s): Relient K - More Than Useless
    Dakota Star - Regret
    Relationships: Though his master is dead and gone, the Amethyst Prophet still shows up from time to time as a psychic 'ghost', appearing to Simon in times of turmoil and stress to give advice.

    Accepted! Okay, one more vital NPC, and then I'll start soon. I may add NPCs as I go along.

    Name: Unknown
    Alias: Simply known as 'The Alien'
    Gender: Unknown, provisionally male.
    Age: Unknown
    Nationality: Alien
    Alignment: Chaotic Evil
    Powers: Shape-shifting first and foremost. He is made of an unidentifiable matter that is incredibly resilient and adaptable. This makes him near-invulnerable. He can also possess the body of any corpse of any animal and perfectly mimic it until it wishes to abandon it. Possession grants him the memories of the thing he possesses.
    Power Source: He's an alien
    Weaknesses: None known, yet. At the moment, he is still in an early evolutionary stage, and as such is not too intelligent or strong, meaning he can be overwhelmed and forced to retreat if need be.
    Personality: Demented, hell-bent on death and destruction and extremely violent. However, as he grows and evolves, so will his personality. He can also absorb certain traits from those he possesses.
    Appearance: As a shape-shifter, he has no fixed form, although commonly seen is black, slick skin that looks rubbery, oily, yet organic, plus razor-sharp claws and teeth, horns, red eyes and a tail.
    Weapons: None.
    History: Upon being turfed from the planet in 1963, the retreating alien force left 'Plan B' in an isolated part of Siberia - a giant black egg, about 1 metre high. This became frozen and ceased to stop growing in the sub-zero environment. Soviet forces recovered the egg many decades later and returned it to a military installation deep in the heart of Siberia for testing. As it thawed, they detected a pulse within the egg, and began performing tests on it. The being inside is beginning to form and is ready to hatch.
    Theme(s): Juno Reactor - Burly Brawl
    300 - Fever Dream
    Relationships: None. Is not actually from the same planet as the original invading aliens in 1963, but is some sort of bioweapon manufactured for the purpose of wiping out a planet, thus it is a one-off with no family to speak of.
    Other: Nope.

    Powers: His body. Steven’s body has undergone a drastic mutation. No longer human, he’s much more reptilian and saurian. He has a long tail, sharp claws that can tear through armor and metal, and teeth. While being reptilian, he’s also dexterous to a point that makes him difficult to hit in combat, able to jump, slide, dash, and get around his opponents. He is stronger than an average human, able to survive being buried under nearly a tone of rubble (of course in that instance he’s using his entire body as a brace, not just his arms). Strong, fast, dextrous, he can be a whirling dervish of destruction and blood in combat. Being fast and athletic, he can scale the sides of buildings quickly, often a blur of scales and black as he leaves the scene. He's also able to heal his injuries completely, much like a reptile, and much faster than the human rate.
    Power Source: Natural (Mutation)
    Weaknesses: Himself. Steven's transformation has altered his brain in a few fashions. While he still has control over language, and hasn't lost any higher brain functions, the hormone imbalance sometimes drives him into a more... "instinctual" or “animalistic” state. This can have a variety of triggers, from combat he becomes a raging whirling dervish, when aroused, he can view everyone as a rival for someone's affection. Such actions truly make him seem... like a "Demon" and there is a constant battle between his human and animal sides.
    Personality: Steven is quiet, not like he was before his mutation came forth. He slinks from the shadows, watching everything. Deep down inside, we wants to make friends, and have fun like he used to. However, his current condition makes him shy away from others, only appearing in a flash of scales, claws, and blazing red eyes to help others and then disappearing just as fast. He’s alone, and makes himself such because he’s afraid of what he’ll do, when his instincts are unleashed…
    Appearance: Steven’s transformation drastically altered his physical state. No longer human, he stands at a little over seven feet tall, weighs 512 lbs, and is 20 feet 10 inches long from snout to tail. His arms are muscled, but thin, with some boney scutes protruding from his biceps. Along his back are jagged, boney dorsal spines, recurved forward. These spines get larger around his shoulder, then become reduced constantly until the tip of his tail. Steven’s legs are digigrade, with three digits on the ground, and a fourth vestigial “hallex” like structure on the outside edge of his leg. His head is rectangular, slightly wedge-shaped. His has no lips, so his teeth are crocodilian, bursting from the edges of his jaws and resting against the outside edge of the opposite jaw. Covered in thick, charcoal black scales, Steven looks like something out of hell itself. With blazing red eyes that sometimes glow and pent-up energy seems to emanate from them as he fights and loses himself to his animal instincts.
    Weapons: Teeth, claws, strength, dexterity, speed. Steven IS a weapon.
    History: Steven Wiles has always been a little off. Despite his general well rounded physical abilities he had a massive appetite that nearly forced his mother to go broke feeding him and his brother, Robert. Even with his massive craving for food of any type, he never seemed to gain a pound of fat during his life looking like a human. What no one could guess, however is that his body was preparing itself for the energy needed for when his mutation finally started to surface.

    One morning, Steven had skipped breakfast, which lead that day to go from bad to worse. Starving, and agitated, his body underwent a transformation. Changing his human form to that of a seven-foot reptile with sharp claws and a long tail for balance, Steven nearly went into a feeding frenzy due to the energy released during the awakening of his mutant powers. The school was sent into a craze, and it was reported that Steven himself had died in the following publications of a monster loose on the school. Others would have suffered if he hadn’t snapped out of it, running away from what he had done.

    He spent his life running away, hiding in city alleys and scrounging for food. He would have reverted to an animal, if it wasn’t for a fight.

    Two supers had broke out into a fight. Super villans having a power-struggle, a hero against a villan, Steven didn’t know, and he didn’t care. His humanity shot back as he dashed from the alleys and protected a mother and child from the rubble falling above them. The saurian stopped the rubble, causing them to be trapped like that for nearly half an hour. Steven’s anger started growing and he was able to push the rubble off of himself and the people he had protected, emerging with a terrifying roar.

    Spectators were surprised, and scared as Steven ran off, climbing up the side of an apartment building and disappearing as a black blur. Even as he ran, he heard one of them say “He was a demon!” So he took his new name.

    Steven, Demon, now spends his time patrolling the rooftops and back alleys. He’s garnered a reputation as the Demon of Seattle with the locals, and both been the reason the streets are safe and why the populace doesn’t want to go out at night.
    Theme(s): Brain Stew (The Godzilla Remix)
    Relationships: Has a brother who thinks him dead, and blames his Alias for his death. Yeah… complicated there. He’s shy around others because of his appearance, because people usually run from him, even as he tries to help.
    Other: He knows several languages, and can track by scent. His senses are extra sharp and can pick up a voice among hundreds. His current “home” is a lair with some old drawings, not done by him, some family photos he managed to save, and old blankets he stole from clotheslines. It’s large enough for three people to stand in, but just barely big enough for himself.



    Name: Robert Wiles
    Alias: Hellfire
    Gender: Male
    Age: 17
    Nationality: American
    Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (capable of great good and great evil)
    Powers: Robert has the ability to manipulate fire. However, unless he is summoning his own art through the flames, he cannot manipulate other fire, natural or supernatural. By setting fire to a piece of art of his own by will, he can summon forth the image, as life-sized as possible, after the entire piece is burned. However, others are not protected from the flames, and neither are property, so using the powers always causes collateral damage and some injuries. Once his need for the fire summons is over, the flames dissipate, and the piece of paper reforms from the flames, drawing and all, into his hands. He can also create energy fields that function like force fields around objects, people, or himself as an buffer against an attack. One other ability, is a set of flaming wings that sprout from his back, but don’t damage or burn his clothes or self. The wings act like major versions of propulsion and can be expanded to increase drag for a landing, or condensed into cones of force to shoot himself forward at high speeds. His body has changed to survive the strain of flying at high speeds, including an increased reaction rate, reflexes, and vision.
    Power Source: Natural (Mutation)
    Weaknesses: His powers. Using his powers takes a toll on Robert through mental strain. Flying around or using the fire summoning hurts slightly, but he’s been able to compensate for that. What really puts the strain on his mind is when the force fields he produces come under attack, a fraction of that force is also inflicted on his mind and mental state.
    Personality: Robert is quiet and alof. He doesn’t care much for people, and doesn’t seem to show any emotion. Despite this, he does care, he just doesn’t want people to know it. He’ll let others talk and recap others on the situation. If they weren’t paying attention before, why fill them in now?
    Appearance: Tall, thin, he has long black hair that stops at his shoulders. A black trench coat that is almost to the ground, the collar always up. He has glasses that he tries to keep high on his nose but keep sliding down. Instead of any normal color for his eyes, his eyes are a crimson red. Robert wears baggy, lose pants, and generic tennis shoes. He has a satchel he keeps with him, and inside is his art supplies and anything else he might need, such as food, water, or a laptop.
    Weapons: None besides his powers.
    History: Robert was the younger of the Wiles brothers. While Steven was more athletically clined and ate like a horse, Robert leaned towards art and intellectual pursuits. Even while he and his brother joked around, he wasn’t jealous of his brother’s accomplishments, because his brother was also jealous of his.

    However, their relationship was torn apart.

    Robert and Steven’s school was attacked by a reptilian monster, leaving several students injured and scared. The only person missing, was Steven. Robert had seen the thing as it tore out of the class where his brother had been, and proceeded to snap and slash at the students and teachers as they ran away. Robert was knocked back, and watched as this thing, this dinosaur-like monstrosity tore its way through the school, only finally disappearing as it looked at him, with those glowing red eyes.

    Robert’s mom broke down at the news, and Robert started hating the thing that took his brother away from the family. Anger boiling up inside of him, he accidentally found out he could summon his drawn creations to life, and control them.

    Packing some of his things and leaving his mom, Robert went out to do what he thought was best. Kill the reptile that killed his brother, and hopefully give his family some solace.

    If only he knew the truth…
    Theme(s): I am (All of me)
    Relationships: Despite his drive to kill the one known as Demon, what Robert fails to realize is that he’s trying to kill his own brother.
    Other: When he’s not flying across the city and hitchhiking, looking for Demon, he’s drawing and sketching. His sketchbook has a few pages torn from it, and he’s never been able to find the missing pages. Images he drew of himself and his brother…

    Nameusan Hearthwood
    Alias: Valkyrie
    Gender: Female
    Age: 23
    Nationality: American
    Alignment: Neutral Good
    Powers: being a prototype full conversion cyborg, she has Superhuman strength, speed, and endurance, Jumpjets mounted in back, superhuman vision and hearing, as well as built-in equipment, a vibrosword mounted on her right arm, high output electroshock prongs in her hands, as well as interface plugs for other high tech weapons like plasma rifles.
    Power Source: Various technological systems, some of reverse engineered alien origin, all of which run off of plasma fuel cells.
    Weaknesses: EMPs can disrupt some of her systems, as well, she can only run in combat mode for an hour before depleting her power cells and needing to obtain new, also, she has an obedience circuit mounted at the base of what used to be her skull, which will induce pain if she defies orders.
    Personality: While she'll be friendly when she can, she is often forced to be cold and distant, and she bears a lot of remorse over making the decisions she has made, and wishes she'd never gotten involved with Project Einherjar.
    Appearance: She's about 5'8", with a body clearly made of metal, while retaining a classic female shape. The only part of her that appears made of flesh is her face and hair, and even that's artificial, bearing tan skin, blue eyes and short blonde hair. On her right arm, clearly visible, is her vibroblade unit. On her back, situated near her shoulders are two protruding nodules with downward pointing holes, her jumpjets. She doesn't really wear clothing anymore, as she doesn't really have anything to cover up.
    Weapons: Her vibroblade and shocking systems, as well, she can be outfitted with weaponry such as plasma rifles and such.
    History: At the age of twenty, Susan ended up in a car wreck, which left her body mangled and her permanently on life support. A month later, a man from the government came, offering her the opportunity to volunteer for a 'Revolutionary New Treatment' which would free her from the constraints of the hospital. She accepted, and was inducted into Project Einherjar, a top secret government project whose purpose was to find a way to create effective, affordable, and controllable shocktroops for handling superhumans. Now, three years later, she's ready for field testing.

    Name: Nicholas Watson
    Alias: Shadowdancer
    Gender: Male
    Age: 22
    Nationality: British
    Alignment: Chaotic Nuetral
    Powers: Shadowdancer has the ability to jump into any shadow and the reappear out of another nearby, sort of like a teleportation of sorts. He can also conjure up a shadow duplicate of himself. His kicks are also powerful enough to send large heavy objects (such as crates and even forklifts) flying with ease.
    Power Source: Nicholas’ powers are the result of long term exposure to dark magic.
    Weaknesses: Light can nullify his abilities and destroy his shadow duplicates instantly. Ironic for someone who likes being in the splotlight. Cunning individuals could also take advantage of his reckless behaviour.
    Personality: Shadowdancer could be best described as a moron who thinks he’s cool. He likes to bring a sense of style and flair into his fights and his dancing, which sometimes can backfire on him big time. He’s normally a bit of an upbeat individual, who always has a small wisecrack ready for any occasion. He’s not the greatest when it comes to planning ahead though, and tends to try and do everything on the fly. While this makes him unpredictable, he also tends to make pretty stupid mistakes. Whether on purpose or by accident.
    Appearance: Standing at 5’9’’ with a slim build and a slightly pale complexion, he has his platinum blonde hair slicked back and his electric blue eyes are normally behind a pair of round rimmed, red tinted glasses. He wears a white, buttoned up shirt and a pair of black pants held up by black suspenders. He wears black and white steel capped shoes.
    Weapons: His feet are as deadly a weapon as any.
    History: The world was his dance floor and the spotlight was his life. Things were looking pretty good for Nicholas Watson, a professional dancer who was second to none in the dancing competitions. This man was notorious for his fancy footwork and acrobatic skill.

    However, it all ended with one particular competition. He was going one on one with a mysterious woman, and even though it was a tough contest, in the end, he won.

    However, he was going to wish he had simply thrown the contest.

    The woman in question was a practitioner of the dark arts, and a particularly sore loser. After the competition was over, she found and cornered the young man in an alleyway outside of the studio. Figuring that he liked being in the spotlight so much, she decided to send him to a place where there was no light, a place of shadow.

    And so Nicholas disappeared for a couple of years. However, something then happened that woman hadn’t counted on. He managed to escape. As a result of his time in the shadows, he had developed the ability to teleport using the shadows, and even create a shadow duplicate of himself. As a downside however, he was weakened when exposed to light.

    Wanting payback for what she did to him, Nicholas hunted down the woman who did this to him, intent on getting revenge. However, during his time in the shadows, the woman had reformed, and had gotten into a relationship with a super hero. After a battle, Nicholas was defeated and put in prison. A week or so later though, a well known super villain attacked the prison, and made Nicholas an offer to work for him as a henchman. Nicholas agreed and took up the alias “Shadowdancer”. Even though the super villain’s plot was foiled, Shadowdancer managed to allude capture, and realised just how thrilling it was to be a villain. From that point on, the dancer began selling himself of as a henchman for hire.

    Well, if people could actually post, then we wouldn't have a problem. You know, because RPGs need posts. With people posting them. With story lines and character progression. Because that's an RPG.

    Okay then... let's have a quick brainstorming session. First a Recap!

    Seattle: Demon, Sigil, Ivan, Enigma, Sentinel, Chaotix, Blood, Psion, Resonance, Aira

    Basically, they fought the alien (most of them) and kinda-sorta won. Now they're splitting up and going their seperate ways it seems. Demon and Sigil, Chaotix and Blood, and that's about it.

    Chicago: Nausica

    Um... currently chained? *snicker*

    New York City: Hellfire, Nazerith, Poltergeist

    Well... complicated here. I'm trying to get something worked out.

    Russia: Red Bear

    In Russia, getting upgrades..

    Okay! So with the blurb that Heald's given us about our "wonderful" Commander 'n' Cheif about a Super Summit, it starts the question of who's really going? Who wants to go, and what will happen if we do or don't go (Heald's final say, but it's interesting to consider)

    I have suggestions.. if people are interested. As much as I like (love.. okay I love) character development and detail, it's kinda pointless without really much to give reason for the building. So, the question on everyone's plate is: To go, or not to go to this Super Summit. Of course that's not stopping the "villians" for whatever reason for doing what they want.

    I haven't posted because I have yet to be pointed to a hospital. Ivan is gonna keep Enigma under close watch, but he's going to try and keep tabs on Demon as well. How he does that, I have covered.

    Okay, well Red Bear is on his way to the USA. I have something in mind for the meeting in Nevada too, but I guess your hero's attendance isn't compulsory. I was hoping there would be some villains out there to take advantage of the situation, so I guess not. If you want to post your reactions to the message, then do so. Once enough people have, I'll begin to progress the story.

    I'm a little confused about the time passed between the end of the battle and the message. But I guess I'll have Aria glue herself to someone for now, for her own sake. The only reason that she'll go with the heroes because of the whole world destruction thing that's sure to come if the alien isn't stopped.
