Super Hero High: Prometheus Rising (OOC, Open)

How about being able to slow down time? Is that op?

It would depend on the magnitude of slowness that the character could achieve.

[Liberated Counties]

Name: Nathan Numark
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Nationality: British
Height: 5ft 11"
Weight: 98 kg
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Costume (if any): Basically like the silver surfer minus the board.
Abilities: Nanite based powers, including the ability to absorb most metallic elements to sustain his powers. Able to change his appearance and shape or even completely disassemble himself into a nanite cloud which can be used to infect and manipulate computers and robotic constructs. Can solidify his outer layer of nanites to lessen the damage of physical harm.
Dorm: Hero
Brief Bio: after being diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 13, he endured four years of failed treatments which only served to deteriorate his health even further. Desperate, he was offered up as a guinea pig for a Nanite Experiment designed to kill cancerous cells. flawlessly, the robotic nanites did their job. However, once the cancer had been destroyed, the Nanites failed to cease functioning and turned on his healthy cells, unknowingly converting Nathan into a cyberorganism with Nanite abilities. after one year of being cancer free, what was a simple checkup revealed his new powers, and per protocol, he was sent to Super Hero High as a student to refine his powers. His experience with Leukemia has made him appreciate life to the fullest, and is eager to learn the ropes and take full advantage of his second chance in life.

Hmm...what timezone IS the school in? Any in particular? Or do they just kind of have their own day/night cycle at the school?

Not to the extent of almost stopping it, maybe it would be similar to Max Payne's bullet time except I can move at normal speed but no one else in the effective range could whilst in slow time

I always see that as not really you slowing down time, but everyone else is moving normally and for them you're just moving at ridiculously fast speeds. So for the sake of it not actually slowing down the other players around you, maybe it could look more like you went into super speed for a brief moment from the other players perspective, and from your characters perspective it looks like the people slowed down even though they really didn't.

If that made any sense.

The school uses GMT 0.

Thanks. Now I have to look up what timezone that actually is...

Everyone else would just see it as your character going really fast, but that sounds like it would be alright.

Name: Derek Spiel aka Megaphone man
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Nationality: British
Height: 190.5 centimetres
Weight: 64.9 kilograms
Hair: Black and tidy
Eyes: Dark brown
Costume (if any): He does not have a costume, so to speak, however he does have a very distinctive style - he is (in modern day) habitually clad in a two piece, navy blue suit coupled with a pair of brown leather dress shoes whilst earlier incarnations dressed similarly yet their appearances were clothed to adequately fit in with the time that they existed in.

Abilities: Derek Spiel, along with previous Megaphone men, possesses the uncanny ability of super-persuasion which when coupled with the megaphone of aeons makes him a force to be reckoned with
Subject: Social interaction and public speaking
Brief Bio: Derek Spiel was a shy man, never daring to face his fears and constantly backing away from arguments. He worked in an office and lacked friends, often being the butt of many a joke told behind his back yet all this was about to change when a mysterious man approached him in an alleyway at night. This man turned out to be a notorious rapist who prayed on anything that moved, he backed into a corner; savouring his innocence for as long as he could. Luckily for Derek however a gunshot victim staggered into the alleyway that he was about to be violated in. This gave Derek the opportunity he required, so whilst his attacker was distracted he fought back for the first time in his life but not with physical violence but by screaming for help as loud as possible. The rapist turned on the gunshot victim yet as he did so the gunshot victim produced a megaphone and Derek watching in stunned silence saw the criminal began to punch himself repeatedly. It was not long before he was unconscious and Derek ran to aid his saviour. With his last dregs of strength he handed the megaphone to Derek and as his hand clasped around the handle visions of previous holders of the item in his hand flashed before his eyes and his duty was revealed to him. A new confidence overcame Derek and from that day n he took up the mantle of Megaphone man, aiding the depressed with a kind word or successfully negotiating a deal - in favour of justice - with terrorists. When he heard of the opportunity to better the next generation he decided that his skills of persuasion would allow he to become an excellent teacher.

Oh Greenwich Mean Time, one of the best time-zones for showing why everyone needs to adopt nautical time (every 15 degree change in longitude represents an hour's difference in time).

When London's clocks are set earlier than one hour later than those in Santa Cruz de Tenerife despite the later being further west than the former, it makes me question whether the world refuses to operate on logic.

What is next? People think there are less than fifteen continents due to a definition arbitrarily based on cultural distinctions so as to make the usage inversely useless rather than the specific and falsifiable definition geology uses.

Oh wait.

Still, the mentions of the UN being involved in the school made me think Ecuador Standard Time was being used since New York City is the location of the United Nations headquarters.

Sorry for my absence. I've been having a bit of a mild nervous breakdown.

[Corrian]

Big thunderstorm rolled in last night so I never got a post up due to my Internet crapping out because of it.

Also, my grandma is gone now, so I might start posting more again. And now we have a "new" laptop and computer from grandparents giving us their old stuff.

Sorry for my absence. I've been having a bit of a mild nervous breakdown.

Those kinds of things are always annoying...

[Terintania]

Ffffudge. I hate when I forget rather important things about my characters.....

Like the fact that Simon doesn't get hungry.....

[Terintania]

Shade has come out to play

Good thing he's not stupid enough to try to kill people.

[Terintania]

I wonder how Racheal and Shade would get along.....

Probably not well, Racheal doesn't like anyone

[Mighty Asgard]

S: "Watchu thinkin' 'bout, Rachael?"

R: "Oh, you know, violently hating people and stuff."

S: "Oh, me too."

Both: "BFFs!"

Slight issue with that. Shade doesn't hate people. He just loves to kill, and to see the suffering of others. He would probably get pleasure out of watching her be angry all the time

[Mighty Asgard]

:P

Considering someone inferior and worthless is a way of hating them, and Shade seems to think that way about everyone. So he hates people.

True.

Also, would the school know about all the people Simon/Shade has murdered, and the fact that he has a psychotic, murdering personality?

He also has a nice one, but that one's not that important for them to know
