Fantasy Heroes, Villains, and the space in between...

[hitman654]

The City of New Atlantis

It's not the prettiest city in the world, but it's yours... all of yours...

This city is one of the few in the entire world that allows the peaceful co-existence of supers and humans. It has worked out with... varying degrees of success. It seems like every other day there's some new hero or villain trying to wreck mayhem or save the world but, for the most part, the city has stayed in one piece. This is largely due to a power balance between 2 opposing forces in the city. The Villain Council and the League of Heroes.

These forces are constantly fighting, with the tides of battle shifting as often as the tides upon New Atlantis' beach. However there is a change on the horizon.

The old guard, Captain Shockwave, Dr Vilemaw and dozens more, are waning in their old age. Many have already died and as such it comes to a new generation of heroes and villains to take the stage. To seek their power, glory and in some cases - profit.

This is the dawning of a new age: an age of heroes, an age of villains, and a new age of the ones who find themselves caught in between...

(Sign up characters on here, I will create a new thread when I have finalised who's playing)

((I'm interested, just need a CS. Unless that's open??))

 

[A L M O S]

Greetings, I am also interested in this. I have a few ideas for a bad guy. I would like a guide as to how to make my char. If you want, I could use the D&D character creator base, as I am quite proficient with it. If this is still open, please convey what level we can start as. 1 being an absolute novice, and 20 being a legendary warrior. 10 is sort of a hero of a realm, or district. hitman654

 

[hitman654]

Hey A L M O S and GardenParty - this is basically the CS space, was kinda using it for 2 roles, an interest check and somewhere to put CS's. Here's the rough CS skeleton - I'll make a new IC thread once we've got 4-5 people?

Character pic (preferably realistic but anime is OK):
Name:
Alias:
Gender:
Age:
Sexuality:
Power:
Power level (1-10): This is the innate destructive capability, it doesn't factor in things like actual 1 on 1 usefulness, it's how much you could destroy if left unchecked - 1 being basically human, 10 being apocalypse level
Power mastery (1-10): This is how well controlled your power is, please note that if you have a crappy power this won't enhance it. I.E. if you have the power to open cans then having a level 10 mastery of that power ain't gonna do too much aside from let you open a lot of cans... If it's 10 you have mastered it, if it's 1 then you're basically a complete liability to your allies as much as your enemies.
--- Important note: The 2 stats above should only total 13 or lower, if you want a higher cap then PM me but no promises and it'll depend on your power.

[A L M O S]

Name: Christopher Hugo
Alias: Strings
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Sexuality: Bisexual

Power: Resurrection of the Dead, and remote manipulation of these beings

Power level : 5 - He can raise no more than 10 corpses at a time

Power mastery : 8 - He can telepathically control any of his ghouls, within 30 feet of him. He can hear through their ears and see through their eyes. If they go beyond that range, they follow the last directions that he gave them, or they become stationary should they be unable to fulfill their tasks. They retain the skills they had in life, along with their intelligence and reason. If they are outside of the 30 foot radius for more than a day, they continue to rot - and will slowly lose their ability to think and feel. If they stay within the range however, their bodies remain fresh - without the need to eat, sleep or breathe. If the corpse had already decomposed, he can have it regenerate, as long as there remained at least some flesh on the bone. They are also effectively immortal, and can't die from wounds, illness or pain. They can only really be destroyed should the entire body be burnt or crushed. They are entirely loyal to him, and can't be controlled by anyone - even through telepathic means. For every two less than his total of ten - the range is doubled. So, 280 ft. for 2, and - should have only one active - the range extends for a mile.

Personality: Calm, charming, contemplative, controlling, conceited, cultured, discreet, observant, intelligent, precise, self centered

Bio: As with most of these things, he first realized his ability in the midst of tragedy. He had been driving with his mother and father on a winding country side lane, when a deer jumped into the road. His father swerved out of the way, and down a hillside, through the thick brush. When he came to, his mother and father were very clearly dead in the front seat - various pieces of metal and wood piercing their corpses. As he was only seven, he had very little idea as to what he could do in this situation. In a state of semi-shock he struggled to get his seat-belt loose - finding that it had been wrenched stuck. He looked up to his parents - his eyes running over their corpses, hoping they would help him - when suddenly his father's corpse reached out and began to rip at the restraints. Soon, the undead thing was carrying Christopher towards the road, falling into a broken heap by the way side. News articles cited the wonder of a father's love - being able to force his broken body to carry his son to safety. Christopher chose to not correct them.

Over time he developed his skills, became more refined in his craft, traveling to different states and stealing corpses from recent graves, bringing back the newly resurrected to serve him - doing work about his home, having them read his course work for him, and doing his research through them - while he spent his time socializing with his peer-groups. He had his thralls read and study constantly - learning every subject under the sun, and in turn - as he shared their thoughts - he learned through them. In his university, he gained a Quad major in Law, Politics, Finance and Psychology - and stood first in all of his classes - leaving all of his peers wondering at his seemingly unwavering work ethic. Since then he has gotten his Master's in all of these subjects, and moved onto doing his medical degree.

While he is still studying in his free time, he is now running a private Medical Clinic called

Spoiler: Purgatory

The penthouse is well known among the good and bad of the city, as being a neutral ground, where they can come for medical council and aid - which can cover anything from law to politics. If they are unable to pay the rather hefty prices, he is always open to negotiating favors. He has never revealed the identities of anyone he has treated, and keeps no physical records of their stay. This has gained him some credence among the supers of the world. While the space might seem quite simple, it is designed so that it can be approached from outside - various spaces to land on the roof and such, and is fully equipped to deal with the greatest of traumas. The whole building has teeming with security, but they remain out of the public eye - creating the feeling of a private and well maintained professional affair. While most who come there never go beyond the emergency rooms, there are two more floors below it - which Christopher also owns. Here he keeps rooms filled with refrigerated corpses, labelled for their skill sets and other useful facts. It is also where he keeps his main server - used by (Q) to oversee the majority of his international business.

Skills: A working knowledge of most academic fields, medically trained, trained in classical music, a first class chef, a natural skill for multitasking, a brilliant strategist

Likes: Art, classical music, food, whiskey, wine, smoking, reading, debating, working, intelligence (he can't begin to consider someone attractive if they are objectively stupid), travel, control

Dislikes: Moralists, people who complain about things for no reason, ginger, beer, milk, club music, mind-altering drugs, bad planning, driving, loud people

Spoiler: The Clique

Name: Akane Sato (M)
Gender: Female
Age: Looks mid 20's

Personality: Since she has been with him so long, some of her original personality shines through at times, showing a calm and focused attitude, with a rather uncanny eye for detail. Beyond that she is quiet, and does not share her own limited opinions very often, despite Christopher's prodding.

Bio: Born in Japan about forty years ago, she died unexpectedly in her youth. While alive she was touted as being one of the most prodigious students Japan had seen in over a hundred years. Christopher learned of her while studying neurology, and traveled to Japan six years ago to attain her for his collection. Her family remains unaware that her corpse had been replaced. She is now seen at Christopher's side most of the time, often sitting outside of any room where is having a private meeting, or carrying something or other for him while he is reading and walking. She is almost never not on her phone, getting in reports from various sources all over the world, who either knowingly or unknowingly work for Christopher. He has an earpiece that has a constant 4G/LTE connection with (Q) - think of it as a phone call that never gets disconnected. She works as his receptionist when he is at his practice.

Skills: An edetic memory, capable of perfect recall. She can remember every sound, voice, face, word, name etc. that she has ever heard, seen or read. She is also a brilliant mathematician and logician.

Name: Renard Harris (BOND)
Gender: Male
Age: Looks to be around mid 40's

Personality: A relatively new addition, he has no personality and follows Christopher's instruction to the letter. He can communicate in a cool, calm and collected manner - but does not have a lot of agency without prior direction.

Bio: Renard was a MI6 Spy about 30 years ago, who specialized in infiltration and assassination. His position was so secret that most of the higher ups within the British government remains unawares of him ever existing. As it is, Christopher got wind of him - realized that he would be an asset for a number of reasons, and set out to claim him. He now stays at Christopher's side, running his security units and driving his cars and piloting his planes. He is also always armed with at least seven different ways of killing you, whether it be garrote wire or his silenced pistol.

Skills: Well versed in most modes of transport, knows how to break into most places, has proficiency with most weapons, knows how to tell when people are lying and knowledgeable of advanced interrogation skills. He is also able to disappear easily enough - capable of getting Christopher and his crew off the radar within an hour's notice. He has mastered at least three different fighting styles and can hold his own in a melee.

Name: Lucas Silva (Q)
Gender: Male
Age: 19

Personality: Brilliant, vibrant and by far the most annoyingly "alive" member of Christopher's group. He has retained much of his original personality, partly because Christopher resurrected him less than a minute after his death. He is outspoken about how fucked up the situation is, how strange it is to be utterly loyal to someone you don't particularly like or know - but he is grateful to be alive and enjoys the freedom Christopher gives him.

Bio: Christopher had been sitting in on a lecture covering cyber security when he noticed the boy sitting a few seats away from him. He was absentmindedly typing away, and upon further inspection - seemed to be hacking into his teacher's cloud account and was stealing the notes for some or other upcoming test. Christopher found this immensely amusing, and followed the boy out of class. He was about to inquire as to whether Lucas wanted to join his business, as only of the few "live" employees - when a car rushed over a stop sign and ran the student over, barely missing Christopher. Acting on instinct, he reached out and brought the boy back barely a moment after he died on the spot - healing the majority of the damage. The people in the area thought it a miracle, while Christopher thought it ironic. The boy left his position in the university, and came to work for Christopher, sending money back to his family - who still think he is alive. He stays in the penthouse, speaking to Christopher via various technological means.

Skills: A world class hacker, specializing in doing small things that never go noticed. He works slower than most, being more meticulous and careful about his approach. He can't just hack anything from the outside though - he needs an in, but once he is in - it is hard to get him out. He is also more skilled in information diving rather than complete system capture. He is well versed in how governments oversee and intercept communications, and he knows how to evade these. His encryption is on such a level that it would take a super computer a hundred years to decode but a fraction of a message. As such, he oversees that all communications are kept strictly confidential.

 

[HuntedFox]

¡Holá!

I'm interested too! I'll find a suitable character around here somewhere....​

 

[A L M O S]

hitman654 GardenParty B Blink HuntedFox - Hey, are we still doing this? We said about four/five people right? Just asking, because I don't want to continue watching this for no reason. I am still rather keen though - I kinda like the plot

 

[Blink]

Yeah, I'm still down; I was waiting for the GM to update. But I should probably revise Teratsu's profile if things are gonna kickstart since, as written, it doesn't play too much to her character, lol

[That_Irish_Person]

Name:
Seven
Nickname:
Amanda Duarte
Age:
(looks 17-18) unknown​

Gender: ​

Female​

Sexuality: ​

Straight​

Relationship Status: ​

Single​

Species: ​

Programmed human​

Appearance:​

​

Amanda stands at the short height of 4"11 she has a large dragon tattoo that covers the majority of her back. She always wears her locket and never takes it off, don't ask her what is in the locket or she will destroy you. Often wears formal clothes (white button up blouse but low cut and black jeans or tight black skirt sitting just above her knees with either black heels or converse high tops)​

Personality:​

Amanda is a very stubborn and coldhearted person but with reason though. It is hard for people to convince her, and she is known to be aggressive with a few people that she doesn't get along with. She thinks of herself, which I guess you could her a narcissist sometimes. She is very planned and knows she has potential and will challenge herself wherever she can in all aspects of her life. She isn't known to be loving so she can't keep a love interest or many friends for that matter but she tries to meet new people, they may not think that she wants to be friends or lovers but you have to crack the egg shell to get to the actual egg if you know what I mean.​

History: ​

Amanda was brought up as she likes to think differently from other people. She was brought up with her parents and her older sister, that all grew up to be successful and high ended people. They grew up to be lawyers, solicitors, and business owners. She grew up with her family and they treated her much like an outsider, she started killing people by the age of twelve and was bashed by her parents everytime. Her parents stopped sending her to school and threw her out of home not wanting to a monster to be in their lives. She lived on the streets people often raping her or bashing her, though they were never heard from again.

A mad scientist found her on the streets and took her in, he experimented on her before removing half of her brain and replacing it with a computer, re-mofifying hormones and DNA cells to enhance abilities and was going to be used as a war machine. He died in a fire and was taken in by low lives that betted on her and taught her how to hack so they can get money. She ended up finding a job as a hacker and assassin, earning her money this way and built her way up in society being hired by elite companies and organisations. As she grew to be more independent she started learning things and increasing her knowledge.

When Amanda was around 20 she was caught by the law and was placed in jail for several cases of murder and was held guilty for nearly all criminal law there is on the internet, she didn't eat or talk or sleep for 3 days. No one knew what was wrong with her, some said that she went mad, but she hacked into the entire prison centre with her mind. She walked out one of very few to be alive, and has been running from the law.​

Abilities:​

Decelerated ageing
Mind control-can take over someone's body
Regenerative healing factor
Enhanced agility
Hacking ability with mind​

Limits:​

Every time she uses mind control she gets weaker
Can't run fast or for long
Hacking takes time and often leaves with migraine
Any time she uses anything to do with her mind for a long period of time she gets a migraine and takes a while for her to be able to use it again. (try thinking of touching an oven tray before it goes in the oven but when it goes in the oven you can't touch it but after it cools you can touch it)
Is open for attack when hacking or mind controlling
Is open to viruses​

Strengths:​

Knows when people are lying and pulls them up on it often embarrassing them
She is amazing with arguments and debates she has been alive long enough to know some things
She is a highly organised person- everything is planned in her diary and calendar
Amanda is a very independent person since she has been living by herself
Will kill anyone without hesitation​

Weaknesses:​

She sometimes doesn't want to know the truth and scares people away with it
Seems like a know-it-all and people don't always like it
Is seen as a perfectionist
Has trouble operating with others sometimes since she takes charge in most group activities
In terms of classes poetry is a big weakness of Amanda's
Just wants to be accepted
Close minded
Impatient
Finds hard to control emotions​

Powers:​

Amanda has no powers, other than an increase in healing, smarter mind, increased reflexes, and mind control. Just basically a robot with emotions and a used to be life but a crappy one now that she didn't ask for. She can take in information and take other people's knowledge faster than any human. Is able to hack into the most complex security systems with her mind, but all done with time and patience accessing more and more of her brain.​

Weapons:​

She uses her head most of the time but is amazing with a gun, will use whatever she can to kill someone. Uses fists, mostly handguns or sniper rifles.​

The DoomyFish i finally finished

 

[The DoomyFish]

Everyone your characters look great all are accepted.
I'll make the IC thread tomorrow and we can begin.

 

[A L M O S]

The DoomyFish - I am going to add two or three people to my char, - these are his favorite corpses - think of it as his clique which he keeps with him most of the time. I forgot to add them before. Kinda hard to bring people back from the dead - when you have no people to bring back. Also, it seems that most chars are a bit later on in life, so I am just gonna move him up a few years - a bit older and a bit more developed. I don't wanna be the weird student among the mafia and the heroes of old.

T That_Irish_Person
Hi. Could I ask you to elaborate a bit on the powers of your character. Most of the others seem to have a bit of details and without them your character seems kinda...Metagamey.
Is there I distance limit to the mind control? Or the hacking? Because as it stands now your character seems to have the ability to take the free will of any other character in the story. Which makes it a bit difficult to build a story.
