Name: Mikhail Toporov (Михаил Топоров)
Biography: Russia. Known for producing the likes of Emil Blonksy, Peter Rasputin and Natasha Romanoff...and then there's guys like Mikhail Toporov. Enlisting in the Russian Military at 22, Mikhail had dreams of being the latest badass to come out of Mother Russia...he was not the next badass to come out of Mother Russia. He washed out, and found himself a desk cop in a go-nowhere section of Siberia. His luck changed the day a notorious mob hitman came through his station. In a matter of hours, Mikhail used his silver tongue and skills of personality reading to get the famously silent killer to spill nearly everything he knew. Locations of bodies, names of superiors, meeting places, the works. Mikhail had found his niche: As a criminal analyst. He worked his way all the way to Moscow. A job with the GRU was in the works, when he got a different offer: From S.H.I.E.L.D. Mikhail's talents had garnered their attention. And before he knew it, he was on a plane to S.H.I.E.L.D.

I'd say semi-often maybe, I don't want to run through pages and tire out the RP / overwhelm people with posts to go through. The RP will follow a daily timeline, 4 pages = a full day, subject to change depending on pace.

[Spindle]

So when the IC starts, does anyone want to have Lucy annoying their character?

[Kingdom of Irhk]

So when the IC starts, does anyone want to have Lucy annoying their character?

Well, my character is also a teleporter, but with a very different personality. So I guess she would annoy him effortlessly.

[Meritocratic Conglomerate]

So when the IC starts, does anyone want to have Lucy annoying their character?

Sure why not. We're starting in the New Years office right?

[Cybraxia]

Tag, I'm genuinely interested.

[Prolieum]

So when the IC starts, does anyone want to have Lucy annoying their character?

You can irk Marie if you want. That should be a fairly interesting dynamic.

[Spindle]

Well...I wasn't expecting this many responses. I'll just have to see how the IC pans out when Lucy arrives and pounce on whoever's available, I guess.

[New Neros]

In regards to the poll, I see no one wants it with the Hulk. Dude is mad OP in some versions.

[Esselman]

No to mention that MCU did little to remedy his range with the whole "I'm always angry" so attacking Hulk is a losing battle until the plot demands otherwise.

Well, the only non-Hulkbuster guy who managed to knock him out was a fighter pilot, if indirectly, so...

Name: Makoto Ishikawa / The Pursuer
Age:
Biologically: 47
Chronologically: About 480
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Face

Starting Armor

Personality:Generally Kind and Friendly outside of battle.
Occupation: C.E.O. / Paranormal Hunter
Skills/Hobbies: Sword-fighting, stealth, martial arts, fiddling with technology
Abilities/Powers:
Darkness Manipulation - Due to his long time use of his tachi, 「影で燃やす」 (Pronunciation: Kage de moyasu |Literal: Burn using the shadows), he has begun receiving some of its power.

Onmyōdō - An ancient art that he was taught in before his sealing away. He has since developed his talents further and used them to strengthen his own body against harm from many sources.

Corvid Manipulation - After World War 2, in between rebuilding Japan and starting a business, he infrequently set off to assassinate Axis war criminals that had escaped judgement. After others had tied the killings and who the victims were together, as well as the crows that fed off the criminal's bodies, he became linked to an obscure deity of sin. Deciding to finish the link altogether, he pledged himself to the deity, as his goals lined up with hers. As a result, he gained the ability to control Corvids.

Long Life - A side effect of his being put into stasis and his self-augmentative magic is that his lifespan has been extended far beyond his natural limits.

Weaknesses: Only human, with enough harm he can be killed.
Biography:
Born almost five centuries ago, Makoto was once a member of a samurai group dedicated to the protection of the emperor. The group, deciding that the best course of action was to insure that there was always enough protectors to defend the throne, sealed away many of the others, of which Makoto was one. Almost four hundred years later, he and few others were re-awakened, and at the beginning of a new war. He was loaned to the Nazis and was given the task of routing out spies and setting in place protections and barriers. After a chance encounter with a female prisoner-of-war, he learned the truth about the Axis powers and defected.

After the war, he helped rebuild Japan, and soon rose to be a prominent, but seclusive, businessman. Learning much from the American culture, his company, Ishikawa Enterprises, has proven itself a strong competitor, offering many benefits to employees and helping maintain Japan's relevance in terms of technology. In his spare time, he routinely hunts down notorious war criminals, putting their bodies on display for all to see.

Name: Jan Hawthorne / Agent Eclipse
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Default Armor

Personality: Detail-Oriented, Very Thorough, but Playful
Occupation: Special Ops / Engineer
Skills/Hobbies: Tinkering with Machines, Learning about other cultures, Reverse Engineering things, Shooting, Stealth
Abilities/Powers:

Digital Soul - Due to the Artifact's power, Jan's mind is now electronically transferable, and within the bodies that the Artifacts makes, is stored on a chip at the base of her neck.

Multiple Bodies/Replication - Through use of the Artifact, Jan is able to construct multiple bodies, armors, and weapons, but only with her original body. The artifact also allows her to remotely control each of the replicated bodies, called "forks". However, she is limited to use of only 6 at a time, not counting her original body. Any more could fracture her mind.

Cybernetic Augmentations - Before her encounter with the Eclipse Artifact she lost an arm and was forced to receive a prosthesis. Additionally she has neural augments, allowing for wireless communication with digital machines. Additionally, each replica of her is outfitted with a self-destruct device ensuring that their tech is not stolen by enemy forces.

Weaknesses: Very much human, despite her augments.

In the interest of fairness, I have already told one RP'er that I'd like to stay away from darkness manipulation or really any dark matter manipulation for that matter, so that will have to go. Further, to my understanding for the corvid part, you can summon or use birds? Am I getting that right?

That is intresting if so, but I'll let you keep it. As for the Onmyōdō, I think it is interesting and very different from powers I've seen in other super RP's over the years so I'll agree to it, just please put in more detail on your characters use of it and effectiveness to be accepted.

I'll look over the other app again once the bio is added, thanks for apping though, very intriguing powers.

While the loss of darkness manipulation is a bit sad, I suppose that is fair. Would very limited subspace manipulation work? Although re-reading the sealing portion of Onmyodo, I think I could get by with that.

Anyways, I'll edit the app so that it's more appealing.

As for the corvid manipulation, it's limited to only corvids, meaning crows, ravens and other such birds of that family.

WIP app.

Name: Frederick Deacon
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Appearance: Bad NS
Personality: Not completely a people person, but when he makes friends, he keeps them. Loyal, and brave. He does, however, enjoy some private time where he can sit down and read. Not afraid of going into combat. Also really, really likes animals.
Skills/Hobbies: Basic military stuff, firing a gun, survival skills. Also really good with explosives. He enjoys a good board game, or reading.
Weaknesses Well, he's no superhero. So, you know, no powers, putting him at an extreme disadvantage on the playing field. He also has a real thing for explosive, which is where he got his name. It's a kinda odd quirk. He's also not one to back down from a fight, which can lead to some serious trouble.
Equipment: A Glock 18, which he hides when in civilian clothes, but carries with him wherever he goes. He also likes to use an M16A4 (the newest one) when actually going into combat. He carries a combat knife, and, when on an operations, likes to carry around a couple of c4 packs.
Codename/Alias?: Agent Dynamite
Biography: So, you know, he was the average kid, right? Born into a poor family, he did well in school, but didn't have the money to get into any decent college. So, he joined the military. Not for any other reason but money, he needed it, and wanted to get a good, safe job as a veterinarian after college. Frederick has always like animals, you see, and took care of the family pets from a young age.
So, he joins the military. Turns out he's not half bad at first. Growing up on the slums of a city, he was more fit than most of the other pale and weak volunteers. He passed training with commendations, and got sent into his first combat at the age of 20. That was 9 years ago. He saw the alien invasion (that took place during the first movie.) He's seen a lot in his time, and not much that was good. Along the way, he had a few odd experiences with explosives, and a love for them arose. He decided to specialize in explosie, and went through training to become a breaching expert.
While a good soldier, he's not necessarily elite, which is actually exactly why he was chosen for this job. He can be taken away from the fighting, and doesn't need someone trained specifically to replace one. He's pretty good, but not the best. He strives, however, to do the best he can.

No to subspace, and okay the corvid thing is fine, could be interesting for explanations to others.

Name: Mikhail Toporov (Михаил Топоров)
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Appearance: Peeks past a skinny 6'2. Wears a pair of thick, horned rim glasses. Gray eyes. Brown hair, already receded. Sports a rather outdated mustache. Rarely seen in anything but a drab, beige suit.
Personality: Neurotic and fastidious. Tends to ramble when he talks. Has a habit of trying to analyze someone when meeting.
Skills/Hobbies: Mikhail has an almost superhuman adeptness as psychoanalysis and personality analysis. Has one more than once been tested to see if it comes from a power, but all tests came back negative. When locked in a room, he can break even the strongest of minds. His abilities also, however, make him an adept therapist and trauma coach. In his off time, he likes tending to his mini topiary's and painting.
Weaknesses Mikhail is not a strong fighter or adept marksman. He prefers to let the super people and physically skilled agents do the hard stuff. Also has a notorious problem with authority.
Equipment: One TT-30 Tokarev pistol. For self-defense only.
Codename/Alias?: Counselor
Biography: Russia. Known for producing the likes of Emil Blonksy, Peter Rasputin and Natasha Romanoff...and then there's guys like Mikhail Toporov. Enlisting in the Russian Military at 22, Mikhail had dreams of being the latest badass to come out of Mother Russia...he was not the next badass to come out of Mother Russia. He washed out of every conceivable branch of the service, from infantry to air-force. His only fallback option came from a distant uncle in the police force, and he found himself a cop in a go-nowhere section of Siberia. Even there, he wasn't much use. His was pulled from street duty after a month, and saddled with a pointless desk job. His luck changed the day a notorious mob hitman came through his station. That was when he discovered his actual talent. Years of observing people had left him with a surprising knack for reading people. In a matter of hours, Mikhail used his silver tongue and skills of personality reading to get the famously silent killer to spill nearly everything he knew. Locations of bodies, names of superiors, meeting places, the works. Mikhail had found his niche: As a criminal analyst. From his dead end Siberian station, he began moving up. After a few years in Irkutsk, he finally worked his way all the way to Moscow. A job with the GRU and a gigantic paycheck was in the works, when he got a different offer: From S.H.I.E.L.D. Mikhail's talents had garnered their attention. Frankly, he'd had enough of wasting his time in his home country. And before he knew it, he was on a plane to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Starting Armor

Personality:Generally Kind and Friendly outside of battle.
Occupation: C.E.O. / Paranormal Hunter
Skills/Hobbies: Sword-fighting, stealth, martial arts, fiddling with technology
Abilities/Powers:
Limited Hell-Fire Manipulation - Due to his long time use of his cursed tachi, 「影で燃やす」 (Pronunciation: Kage de moyasu |Literal: Burn using the shadows), the ability to use hell-fire has begun to seep into his body. However, use of it puts a large strain on his body and soul, and could kill him if over-used.

Onmyōdō - An ancient art that he was taught in before his sealing away. He has since developed his talents further and used them to strengthen his own body against harm from many sources.

• Paper Charm Magic: The main use of his Onmyōdō training.
• Summoning: He uses this to either summon Shikigami, or to summon Corvids to assist him.
• Sealing: Allows him to seal entities within other entities. Usually used to seal his equipment within himself in order to conceal it.
• Wu-Xing Manipulation: Due to his crippling overspecialization with his other Onmyōdō, he is limited to Fire and Water
• Spiritual Awareness: Comes with the territory

Corvid Manipulation - After World War 2, in between rebuilding Japan and starting a business, he infrequently set off to assassinate Axis war criminals that had escaped judgement. After others had tied the killings and who the victims were together, as well as the crows that fed off the criminal's bodies, he became linked to an obscure deity of sin. Deciding to finish the link altogether, he pledged himself to the deity, as his goals lined up with hers. As a result, he gained the ability to control Corvids.

Long Life - A side effect of his being put into stasis and his self-augmentative magic is that his lifespan has been extended far beyond his natural limits.

Weaknesses: Only human, with enough harm he can be killed. Also use of hell-fire is painful to him, seeing as he is only human.
