Decay (superpowered RP)

[disasterplay]

Name/Superhero name: Alexa Romaine (Cobalt Chaos)


Age: 22


Personality: Alexa is very sarcastic and a little bit dorky, and she often teases and flirts with people, but it mostly isn't supposed to be taken seriously. She treats most things like they're a joke, except when it comes to saving innocent lives. She is self-confident and self-reliant, but even though she can look after herself she is far from a loner and prefers to work with others. She cares deeply and would do anything for those she loves, which can be a mistake if she cares for the wrong people. She enjoys being a superhero, both for the fighting and for the feeling of doing something good. She genuinely loves having superpowers, and doesn't always use them responsibly. Alexa is very impulsive and reckless, which can lead to a lot of bad decisions.


Bio: Alexa grew up in the city, being raised by a single mother as her father left them when Alexa was four years old. Everything was fine until she was kicked out of the house at the age of sixteen for pawning her mothers's jewelry after months of other rebellious behavior, which she was convinced to do by her the boy she'd just started dating, Damon, an older, typical bad boy type. She dropped out of high school at this point, and spent the next few years getting by by stealing and squatting in others houses with Damon. When her and Damon split up when she was eighteen years old, she started getting her life together. She got an interning job at Bishop publishing house, and thanks to hard work and luck eventually worked her way up to investigative journalist in the next four years. One night, sometime after getting her powers she was walking down an alleyway when she ran into a mugging in process, the mugger was threatening a woman with a knife and Alexa used her powers to save her, which is when she decided that she wanted to become a superhero.


Powers: She's a reality warper, which in her case means she can make various things happen by repeating what she wishes for (e.g "I wish you were asleep, I wish you were asleep, I wish you were asleep."). She frequently uses her powers for teleportation and channeling the energy of her powers into beams for attack, these are the only two things she doesn't have to wish out loud for. She chose the name Cobalt Chaos due to her blue hair, and because of the physical manifestation of her powers (a glow around her hands when she wishes for something, energy beams and a flash of blue light when she teleports, all of which are icy blue), and because her powers can be quite chaotic if she loses control.


Power weaknesses: Alexa's powers are deeply tied to her emotions, and she can lose control during times of extreme emotions, or not be able to use her powers at all when she is badly injured or otherwise hurting. Her powers also have their limits, she cannot just wish someone dead or alive, she can only affect things within a certain distance of her, she has to know either the address of the location she's teleporting to (or at least the rough location, though that may have inaccurate results) or be able to see it either in front of her (if there is a building in front of her, she can teleport inside) or envision what it looks like in her mind, among other limits. She also has to be able to speak and hear herself for her wishes to work. She is still training and her power level and abilities are subject to change due to their chaotic unpredictable nature, they are usually at low/medium level.


Appearance: She has dyed blue hair, which is curly and reaches her collar bones. She has rich brown eyes, framed by long, dark eyelashes. Although her eyes sometimes glow blue if she's doing something with her powers that takes a lot of power. She is short at only 5'1, with a soft, curvy figure. She has a lot of moles and freckles on her pale skin,mainly around her shoulders and arms.


Job: She is an investigative journalist for Bishop Publishing, the largest publishing house in the city.


Other: She is pansexual, but at this point in her life her only serious relationship has been with her ex-boyfriend Damon. She is talented at reading people due to her job, and can normally tell when someone is lying. She also has ADHD.

[disasterplay]

Name/Superhero name: Riley Castillo (Endurity)


Age: 21


Personality: Riley is very determined and headstrong. She knows her worth and won't accept anyone treating her lesser than she deserves. She is Freya's older sister and only immediate family, and she can be very overprotective to her sister to the point where she's almost smothering her. She still views Freya as her baby sister despite the small gap in their ages, and needs to learn to give her for more freedom. She ironically isn't very good with change, liking things to be safe and normal,a life she's worked hard to have. However, she can be very fun and funny once she loosens up and gets to know you. She wasn't bad at academics, but she has a particular affinity with machinery and is good with her hands.


Bio: Riley had a normal and happy home life until her parents died in a house fire when she was ten years old. They told her to get Freya out of the house and to look after her and that they'd be right behind her, but they never made it out. After that she grew up moving around different foster homes, where she spent most of her time looking after Freya like her parents had asked. She'd always had an interest in machines, especially cars, and took a course in mechanics at college, graduating top of her class. She was made aware of her powers after the jack holding up a car that she was underneath snapped, and her body turned to steel to prevent her from getting crushed, but as far as she knows she is alone in having powers and rather than becoming a hero/villain is just living her everyday life. The name endurity was chosen because her body can endure almost anything, despite it not being a real word it was thought it sounded best.


Powers: Her body adapts to protect itself against any threat and survive any atmosphere.


Power weaknesses: It takes a couple of seconds for her body to figure out how to adapt, during which she is at risk. As adaption is a power based in survival and not attack, she has to learn how to fight the old fashioned way (although often the form she takes can be harmful to her opponent as well as good for her survival, it only lasts until the threat her body is fighting is dealt with.)


Appearance: Riley is of Mexican descent. She has great skin and a good facial structure. She has long, light brown hair that is always brushed back in a ponytail. She has Hazel eyes. She is 5'9. Her body is toned and quite strong as she spends all day lifting heavy car parts around. She doesn't wear make-up or have a particular interest in clothes, as her clothes always end up covered in motor oil anyway.


Job: She is a highly skilled car mechanic.


Other: She is asexual and aromantic

 

[disasterplay]

Name/Superhero name: Cora Bishop (Miasma)


Age: 22


Personality: She is quiet and perpetuates an aura of mystery. She is superficially classy. She can often be supercilious and stuck up. Her default state is to be cold, manipulative and even cruel. She's cunning. She is used to a lavish life-style, where money= how valued a member of society you are, and never thought outside of that reasoning until recently. She was used to being allowed to behave however she wants as long as it doesn't reach the public and reflect badly on her family, and has a lot to learn about what it truly means to be a hero. Although she may not sound like a hero, she does honestly want to protect people.


Bio: Cora comes from old money, and it's apparent when you meet her. Despite growing up in her parents mansion, she is practically estranged from them, being raised mostly by nannies, only seeing her parents at social functions where they only cared that she reflected well on the family. She took to drinking and other “unsuitable” behaviors as she got older as an attempt to lash out at them, but they didn't care as long as it didn't reach the press. She discovered her powers when a man she thought was a friend violently assaulted her during a party at her family's second manor after she refused to be with him romantically. The assault made her adamant about protecting people, women especially, from men like him, she currently goes after men who wrong or hurt women, using a seductive act to draw them in before attacking them.


Powers: She can blow a purple,(usually)non-lethal poisonous mist from her mouth, which is similar to nerve gas. She can also manipulate other poisons, controlling them telekenictally, changing their form, permanently imbuing them in objects and is immune to poison. She chose the name Miasma because it means "a poisonous or noxious atmosphere".


Power weaknesses: The poisonous mist has to be blown directly at a person's face for it take effect, so it only hits one person at a time, and she has to be physically close to them. Her powers to manipulate poison don't come in handy often as poison isn't easy to come by, making it almost useless apart from her weapon.


Appearance: She is pale with petite features. She has long jet-black hair and icy blue eyes. She is 5'6, but usually wears heels making her appear taller, and model thin. She mostly wears black and purple, her usual fashion style is sexy yet still "classy", and very expensive. She also often wears sunglasses no matter the time of day. She holds herself with an air of power and grace.


Job: Socialite


Other: She has suffered with partial hearing loss since birth, she wears hearing aids that allow her to hear but she still has to lip read at times, without her hearing aids voices are pretty much unintelligible and she has to rely on lip reading and sign language. She developed PTSD after the previously mentioned assault took place. On her left hand she has (easily removable and re-attachable) metal false nails, sharpened at the end and imbued with poison, which stings horribly when someone is cut by them. She had the best education money can buy and can speak multiple languages as well as English and ASL, language was one of the few subjects she really bothered to attend and pay attention to in school, she even signed on for after school lessons as she needed extra help what with her hearing loss. She took ballet and gymnastics when she was younger and as a result is very agile in battle.

I made a couple of edits to my characters, mainly Cora. I thought it would be good to have disabled heroes, so she's now partially deaf, if that's okay with you?
