Super Hero High (old OOC, search for new one)

[Northern Dominus]

I know that, but still. If you had to fight a guy, would you rather have an unbreakable shield or an assault rifle?

Unbreakable shield. Because I don't know how to shoot.

Also, having a rifle is no use if you get killed straight away.

Well if the barrel is heavy enough you could theoretically take it apart and use it as a handy club.

[Mighty Asgard]

Yeah but you could use the shield to stop yourself dying immediately.
Probably.

If you're small enough to fully hide behind it, otherwise you might still get hit and die from blood loss.

Which prompts an interesting question: Why do all the bad guys aim for Captain America's shield?

Maybe for the same reason that most bad guys aim for the emblem in the middle of Batman's suit where the armor is thickest? Bright colors attract the eyes very quickly.

I'm thinking of coming back to this RP. No clue what's going on, and what's happened, though...

[Altruistic Paladins]

What about peak human abilities, the moral center-point for the Marvel Universes that do not involve the word "Ultimate", the Avengers, and a creation by Jack Kirby alongside Joe Simon?

That's so ambiguous, even your "normal" Captain America seems pretty superhuman. At most I'd imagine Burton would have a footspeed of about 35 mph, bench close to 2,000 pounds, and have a 70-80 inch vertical, for a very baseline example.

So yeah, better than even the finest athletes, but nowhere near superhuman.

Plus you have to remember this involves running down an alleyway exposed to energy and ballistic fire. All the phsyical ability and skill in the world doesn't matter if somebody gets one lucky shot off. Better to bring the building down around their ears rather than risk getting waylaid by some lucky punk with a gun.

That depends upon the writer. Some writers do a good job at keeping his abilities along the lines of "peak-human" and make up for it with good writing that shows that Captain America is really skilled and is thus able to take advantage of everything at his disposal and be tactically intuitive with it so that he can take on people with actual superpowers (the shield helps). With worse writers, you can see Captain America talking about how he only has "peak human abilities" while using a truck as a weapon. Ideally, he should be able to lift 800 pounds overhead; run at 30 mph; work at peak efficiency for several hours of intense physical activity; react at 20 kph; etcetera. Basically, he can operate at the peak of human capability, operate at world record capacity.

Some students have gone on a mission to Ireland, aiming to capture some rogue superhumans. Other than that only regular school stuff has been going on.

Also, everyone is pregnant.

It is a running gag, but it has gone on for long enough that I expect the babies to be chest-bursters due to their size.

It's the magic of the station. Once you enter, a fetus is implanted into you, complete with a uterus if you don't already have one.

At least in Ultimate they go the Superhuman route so that it's not an issue.

You're sort of on the right track, my thought is that there are existing structures in the human body that if re-written and re-purposed along with a general enhancing of existing biochemistry to "ideal" settings could push a human into a "hyper-evolved" state.
So you're basically onto it. Wearing nothing but basic athletic gear...or nothing for the people out there who have Billy Zane fetishes, Burton's physical prowess could best any Olympic-caliber athlete. When wearing the extra 90-120 pounds of combat gear this gets reduced, obviously, but to Olympic level performance, roughly.

This is of course where the training and experience would come into play.

Name: Burt Kristoff a.k.a. 'Celsius'
Gender: male
Age: 44
Nationality: Canadian
Height: 5ft. 4inch.
Weight: 200 pounds
Hair: short, red hair with a few grey areas
Eyes: blue
Costume (if any): blue pants and blue shoes with a red shirt and red gloves
Abilities: expelling and absorbing heat energy
Subject: P.E.
Brief Bio: Burt Kristoff is an okay guy, when his temper doesn't flare up. Burt was a former police officer who tried to play things by the book and was popular with victims of crimes because of how he tried to sympathise with them. Sometimes he'd sympathise with them a bit too much. Burt lost his job for utilising excessive force when he arrested a rapist. Ergo he tasred the criminal and started hitting him with his baton with no intentions of stopping and had to be pulled away by three other officers. One of these officers still has bite marks on his arm from Burt. Burt learned he had the ability to control heat when he saw his story on the news. When people started talking about how wrong Burt was for being so aggressive Burt's temper flared up and his t.v. started melting under his gaze. Burt was quick to become a superhero after that and called himself 'The Flame of Vengance' hunting down criminals and giving them third degree burns before turning them in (once he learned he could absorb heat energy in an area and freeze people solid he started calling himself 'Celsius'). Needless to say Burt has been arrested by the police and other superheroes for his aggressive behaviour when dealing with the more unsavoury than usual members of society. Burt came to the school looking for a job due to him being constantly fired in all of his other ones. He thought that he could actually keep this one considering that he was a "goddamn force of nature against those fucking bloodsuckers! Melting and freezing those bastards faces off!" (Burt's own words in regards to his role against the vampire invasion). The school only accepted him under the condition that Burt takes medication for his anger issues and sees a psychologist regularly.

OOC: yeah I know Burt's pretty cliche but I thought this RP looks interesting and I don't have the patience to write down a complex character especially if this RP turns out to not be my kind of thing, in short Burt's a nice guy with anger issues who became a superhero because he just likes the idea of beating the tar out of some sick bastard in the morning. p.s. could someone bring me up to speed n this RP? Well if I'm accepted that is

[Ularn]

Uh, Mighty Asgard...the Lynxes' aren't gunships, they're transports. The gunships are the apaches

The whole idea is that the apaches use their autocannons and rockets to bring the house down and collapse one end of the tunnel. When that happens the Lynxes running the "racetrack" over Kildare observe for any sudden mass exodus' of a house not directly next to the one being reduced to rubble and call it, letting other squads home in on the other end.

A real super soldier would have been able to make to with transport helicopters. Just saying.

Lynxes do have door guns though; they're not totally defenceless.

I'll try and get a post up later tonight. I'm traveling for most of tomorrow, and probably most of the day after, so don't expect much from me.

Subject: Technology, Chemistry, Science
Brief Bio: After crashing in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, Johnathan was taken in by a kind waitress at a nearby diner. The military confiscated his ship, and took most of the technology with them to Area 51. Later, he broke in and recovered a few of his scientific instruments, inclusing his stasis beam. He eventually caught word of a space station being built, one that would house the various abnormalities in the human race, and some extraterrestrials. He waited, and as soon as it was finished and students arrived, he began his journey in his ship to the Super Hero High.

Sorry for the crappy bio, I'm working on 3 different sites at once.

Denied. I've said that I'll only accept more alien characters if I feel they're sufficiently fleshed out, even more so than a human character, and your bio is a bit short in my opinion. There is essentially a gap of half a century between him crashing and going to the station, so he would have had to do something in the meantime.

People want 3 everything related to Valve. I just say let them do whatever the hell they want. They are Valve. Whatever they do will be awesome. They aren't the type of company that's into recycling a series over and over again forever (Call of Duty and Halo). I'm more interested in like, say, a combination of Portal and Half Life in a new game (Since they are both based in the same world)

Even with this, I still laugh how like everything they do ends at 2. (Half Life 2: Episode 2, Portal 2, Team Fortress 2, Some other game they released recently 2, Left 4 Dead 2, ect?).

BUT, Valve is awesome. Steam is the best game device ever, and the sales they have are amazing. And they say games are overpriced (Usually due to lack of content other then multiplayer, like Call of Duty), so yeah. And it is known that the games that go on sale tend to do BETTER on sale. They are making us go more broke on video games with sales...

And the next time someone says "Where's Half-Life 3?" on a completely unrelated link on Facebook, I'm going to punch someone in the face. It gets irritating when people nag game companies in my opinion. This entitlement generation is getting on my nerves.

No offense to you, or anything, though. Just talking about in general. Though, Portal 2 is only about a year 1/2 old, if that, so don't worry about it too much. Valve actually takes time to make their games RIGHT, instead of rushing them, so you don't hear about new games that often. Which is fine by me. I rather a working game over a half-assed, rushed game (Like Dragon Age 2, but that was EA's stupidities fault. I think they got crap for that, because they didn't rush Mass Effect 3 and aren't rushing Dragon Age 3). And they make enough money off of Steam all the time (Especially making sales all the time) that they can take their time. Valve's totally my dads dream job place. They have amazing benefits as well (They gave like, 100+ employee's and their families a free week trip to Hawaii, for example).
