Asterdan wrote:Name: Victor Quinn
Alias: Hyena
Age: 40
Side (Hero, Villain, Anti-Hero, Government, etc.): Villain
Appearance and Personality: Victor is insane, much like the Joker, who he considers his father. He is also very cruel and sadistic, taking great pleasure in causing his enemies pain. Due to his shattered Psyche, he considers the Joker and Harley the only "good guys" in the world, and believes Batman to be the epitome of evil. Hyena wants nothing more then to kill all the "evil" in the world.
[spoiler](Image)

Abilities and Weapons (Recommended to be as descriptive as Possible):
    Mutant Physiology: Hyena is a mutant who has been given an unbreakable skeleton, augmented by a secret project of the Joker.

    Regenerative Healing Factor: Hyena's primary mutant power is an accelerated healing process that enables him to regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of his anatomy with far greater efficiency than an ordinary human. After some artificial upgrades by the Joker, Hyena can now fully heal from injuries that result in massive tissue damage or loss such as multiple gunshot wounds, slashes, puncture wounds, blunt force trauma, and severe burns within a matter of moments.

    Foreign Chemical Immunity: Hyena's natural healing also affords him the virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs. It is virtually impossible for him to become intoxicated.

    Immunity To Diseases: Hyena's healing powers also extend to his highly efficient immune system. As a result, he is immune to the effects of all known Earthly diseases and infections.

    Weather Insulated Adaptation: Hyena is able to withstand incredibly cold temperatures without sustaining bodily damage for great periods of time, even to the point of sleeping in sub-zero temperatures.

    Superhuman Stamina: Hyena's advanced musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human, due in large part to the effects of his mutant healing factor. Due to the upgrades, Hyena can now physically exert himself at peak capacity for at least 24 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins began to impair him. His lung capacity is at peak human level enabling him to hold breath for 6 minutes under water, making his lungs as healthy as human's lungs can get. And when his lungs stop working,he can maintain his life by cutaneous respiration (It can only maintain his basic life activities).

    Superhuman Strength: Because of his healing factor, Hyena is able to push his muscles to a much greater extent than ordinary human without sustaining injury, granting him some degree of superhuman strength. He is able to lift between 2-10 tons.

    Superhuman Durability: Hyena possess superhuman durability. This is mostly because of his healing abilities and metallic skeleton, which redistributes the force of blows dealt against.


    Superhuman Agility: Hyena's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels beyond the human body's natural limits, even those of the finest human athlete. His agility is sufficient to allow him to dodge multiple bullets. Other times, able to jump extremely high and evade several yards.

    Superhuman Reflexes: Hyena's reflexes are similarly enhanced and were superior to those of the finest human athlete and are equal to the likes of Batman due to his superhumanly acute senses, although most of the time he relies highly on his regenerative healing factor.

    Superhumanly Acute Senses: Hyena's feral mutation provides him superhumanly acute senses. Hyena can see with greater clarity and greater distances than an ordinary human. His vision extends into the ultraviolet and infrared areas of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing him to see in near-total darkness and retain the same level of clarity. Hyena's hearing is similarly enhanced, able to detect sounds that ordinary human's can't and at greater distances. For example, he can detect the sound of light, normal breathing within a distance of 200 feet. Hyena also possesses an extremely well developed sense of smell. Hyena can recognize or track targets by scent, much the same way as a dog or wolf does. His nose can detect minute chemical differences in the scents of different deodorant brands, even if they were purported to be exactly the same scent.

    Claws and Fangs: Hyena has large canine teeth, akin to a big cat which are much larger than a normal human's canine teeth. Most of his teeth are large and sharper than a normal human's, but it is his pronounced upper and lower canines from which he gets his name that are truly animal teeth. He also has 20 retractable 3" talons in place of finger & toenails. The claws are naturally sharp and tougher than that of normal human bone structure, allowing Hyena to cut through most types of flesh and natural materials. Hyena's ability to slice completely through a substance depends on the thickness of the substance and the amount of force he can exert.


    Weakness(es) (Required but could be as simple as "Human", "Poor Fighter", or more complex like "Leaves Riddles at Crime Scene"):
      Carbonadium Digestion: Hyena's healing factor can be dramatically slowed if Carbonadium is implanted inside of him, such as swallowing something made of Carbonadium or being wounded by a bullet composed of it. It causes his healing factor to be reduced to a slow crawl, at least in comparison to its normal speed, but doesn't fully suppress it.

      Vulnerable Senses: Sabretooth's only other "weakness" is the fact that his heightened senses can be taken advantage of.

      He also has an unhealthy obsession with Harley and the Joker, who he thinks are his parents.
Biography (4-5 Line Minimum, unique characters should have backstories, Marvel Characters should have an explanation): Victor Creed was a zookeeper who specialized in Hyena care. Many days he would just sit in the Hyena exhibit and play with the animals. It was this love for the Joker's favorite animals that caused him to kidnap Victor to be used in a project he had been working on with a few of his scientist allies. They used Hyena DNA as well as some of Joker's own DNA to turn him into the ultimate weapon.

The Project was almost a success, until Batman and the Bat-Family attacked the safe house where the project was taking place, sabotaging the experiment which led to the fracturing of Victor's psyche. The Joker thought it was a failure, but were surprised when Victor, now Hyena, jumped out of the rubble, fighting the Bat until everyone else was able to get away.

Most of those "Superhuman" things can be boiled down to Peak Human Physiology, with senses and strength being actually Superhuman. I could also take out the Healing Factor, which takes out a few of the other abilities listed.

Name: Conrad Paul
Alias: Agent 27
Age: 34
Side: Prometheus Ltd.
Appearance and Personality:
Image

Conrad Paul is a very calculating mind. Calculating to the point that his whole world consists of risk-management, numbers and digits. His world is dominated by dollars, micromorts and possible lawsuits, all combined in neatly organised packets of risk and counter-risk, all weighed against each other in his ever-busy mind. He’s bad with interpersonal relations when they don’t involve the corporation.
Abilities and Weapons: No special powers. Conrad is a normal human being, be it somewhat more intelligent than others. Even more intelligent than some super beings. That has proven his most effective weapon. Another is his shock cane, a cane-held sword he uses to walk around, stab certain people and shock others. He has become quite proficient at the technique.
Weakness: He is an ordinary human, without powers, who makes money through chaos and conflict. He makes money by selling power. This is a dangerous lifestyle, and requires a lot of risk taking. This risk-heavy lifestyle together with his lack of powers make him one of the least powerful in terms of body capacity. He makes up for this a bit, though, through the number and the quality of his assets.
Biography: Conrad. Where he came from really doesn’t matter that much to us. It will suffice to say that he didn’t grow up with much. His family was a collection of poor sods and bad decision makers. Gamblers, alcoholics, drug addicts… Growing up in the poor slums of London, Conrad didn’t really have much on himself. That was, until Vincent Gordoff noticed him. Gordoff was the powerful magnate of Prometheus Ltd, a barely legal company that sold weapons, manpower and other potential useful assets to people in need of equipment. Gordoff sluiced money to Vietnam, sold modern firearms to the warlords of Africa and gave a lot of tanks and airplanes to South American Juntas. His business model was basically to make the best of chaos, using the money he made to create more problems than they solved for the world. Hiding behind trust funds and international financial schemes, Gordoff had made Prometheus Ltd one of the leading providers of misery in the world. And his company needed to expand.

To that purpose, he found Conrad. His special mind was of extraordinary use to him, the perfect mind for a business executive. Conrad was trained by Gordoff himself, personally and through his enormous capital. Conrad was raised with a single purpose; to advance the interests of the company. When Conrad reached adulthood, he became known as Agent 27, the bulldog, lieutenant and brownshirt for Gordoff. The most trusted of his company. Even today, Conrad is trusted with that position of most trusted individual, as he is sent to Gotham. Gotham, as a hotbed for chaos and crime, is the perfect breeding ground for those seeking power. And power is what Prometheus deals in. Not only that, but Gotham has attracted a number of special individuals. Gotham, in the eyes of Gordoff and Conrad, is the Great Experiment. To see if the Western World still holds a place for them. It seems the experiment is about to succeed, as Conrad sees a lot of opportunities with the more special inhabitants of the city…

I am deeply sorry for the attacks on your nations capital, and pray for those affected by the attacks both in Paris and throughout France. As a fellow Muslim I apologize deeply and in place of those who use our religion to commit such an heinous crime. I pray for France, for Paris, and for all those affected.

APP WIP

Postby Shadowwell » Fri Jul 24, 2015 1:47 pm

WIP, this character will be based in part off of The Shade but things will be explained when I put up the Bio later.
Name: Shade Swift
Alias: Erebus
Age: appears and acts 24 actual age: Unknown.
Side (Hero, Villain, Anti-Hero, Government, etc.): Villain and Hero works as a bounty hunter as a cover.
Appearance and Personality: If you are kind to him he is kind back if you aren’t he returns that with interest. He is kind to those that he deems deserving of it and cruel to those that aren't. He is somewhat self centered but does show generousity. Everything that he does is to help those that need it, it doesn't always seem that way though. He is smart and cunning.
He is 6'4 and 185 pounds very pale with Shaggy black hair and Ghost blue eyes.
imagine this with the above features and more modern clothes though: http://www.comicbookreligion.com/img/s/ ... wift_2.jpg

Abilities and Weapons (Recommended to be as descriptive as Possible):
Powers: Darkness and Shadow manipulation and physiology. He can merge with his shadow to gain an enhanced physique. His physiology makes him extremely hard to kill, He is susceptible to almost all injuries. He can absorb darkness and shadow to regenerate. If his body dies it can regenerate given time, after he regenerates his powers are nullified for a time. He can manipulate and condense shadows and darkness to make them take various forms ranging from weapons to a force field of sorts. He has true night vision which enables him to see through the night almost as if it was day time, and to see if anyone is hiding there presence or appearance only during the night or in the dark. At night he is physically stronger than his height and build but is also more easily affected by his weaknesses. He also has access to a particular Shadow dimension that few people can survive in let alone enter. He calls this the DarkSpace, he can store items here as well as enter the area. He can read minds if he ties his shadow to that person but this leaves him vulnerable to outside attacks.
He uses no weapons other than those he makes using his powers, he does have a magical cane that can stabilize him and his powers.

Weakness(es) (Required but could be as simple as "Human", "Poor Fighter", or more complex like "Leaves Riddles at Crime Scene"): Light can weaken his powers, sunlight and UV light can both weaken and injure him. If he over uses his powers he can suffer various effects ranging from being unable to use his powers for a few days to various types of injuries. He also has to consume Darkness from the mind I order to keep his powers stable, this is only if he doesn’t have his cane. He is physically he is relatively weak unless he merges with his shadow.

Biography (4-5 Line Minimum, unique characters should have backstories, Marvel Characters should have an explanation):
Richard Swift also known as The Shade had decided to explore his Pocket dimensions, as he was not the only one with powers like his. He wanted to make sure that nothing like what happened with Culp happened again, so he was sealing off a specific dimension from the others because he was the first being to be here in a long time as there were no signs of disturbances when he heard what sounded like a child crying. He went to investigate and saw a child covered in shadows. The shadows attacked him when he got close , forced to fight back he responded in kind, to no effect in fact the shadow of the child simply got stronger. He was finaly able to subdue the shadow and took the child back with him. He would later come to realize that the child had been affected by the same incident that gave him and several other supers similar powers back in 1889.
He would raise the child like his own for many years training the boy how to fight and control his powers. Shade as Richard would name the child progressed at a rather fast pace. For the past few years Shade had been in the world outside the Shadow Dimension to learn actively and put his skills to use. Due to some contacts of Richard's he got a job that was mostly a cover as a bounty hunter, he didn't use his powers except to strengthen himself. He would learn that when he is outside the dimension his powers need certain things in order to stay stabilized for a time; if he doesn’t do this his powers would make what his surrogate father did to Keystone City look like child’s play in comparison. Recently he has come to Gotham for work. Before coming to Gotham, Richard Gifted Shade who had is also known as Erebus the nightstick which was the cane that he used originally like him it had changed due to certain events and it helps to stabilize Shades powers.

Jason Todd is awesome. Well he is as the Red Hood.

Name: Unknown
Alias: ''Tim Drake'' - Formerly the third Robin, will eventually become Red Robin
Age: 14
Side (Hero, Villain, Anti-Hero, Government, etc.): Hero - though may tread towards Anti-Hero
Appearance and Personality:

http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_small/10/100647/3843801-3841899-tt-lenticular_a_537e8c89b4cf78.jpg



Abilities and Weapons (Recommended to be as descriptive as Possible):

A master detective in his own right, he was trained personally by Bruce Wayne himself to become the third Robin making him proficient in hand-to-hand combat, stealth, and strategic planning. Not as agile as Grayson or as strong as Todd - his abilities in that regard come within a balance between his two predecessors - his most distinguishing trait however is his impressive intelligence - evident at how he was able to deduce the true identity of the Batman by himself.

Carries is own utility belt which contains: His own batarangs, smoke pellets, a grappling gun and an extendable metallic fighting staff. The suit also comes with a wireless communicator to allow him to contact other members of the Bat Family. It is also composed of a Kevlar-based polymer that makes it tear and bluet resistant - whilst remaining both durable and flexible to allow for unhindered agility. In addition to this the suit is also flame resistant and can absorb moderate levels of shock.

Apart from his detective skills and gadgets, he is also an expert with information technology and knows how to hack computers.

Weakness(es):

While he's considered a prodigy in the science of deduction, he's yet to reach Batman's level - and while he has been trained to push his body to its limit he has yet to reach the peak of human condition like Batman. Most importantly he is still technically a human with no superhuman abilities.
His mental state is more fragile than he lets on - the two months he spent as the Joker's captive had driven him over the edge of insanity but not quite deep into it. Despite his apparent recovery he remains traumatized and has developed an intensive fear of the Joker and is also prone to frequent nervous breakdowns. This has made it difficult for him to be as focuses and refined as he once was.
Biography:

A child prodigy hailing from a well off upper-middle class family, the boy who would become Tim Drake and the third Robin was originally a very young child when his parents took him to Haley's Circus as part of an audience to the Flying Graysons. He would witness their deaths as well as Batman leaping into the scene. When he was just nine he would deduce that the first Robin was in fact Dick Grayson, the boy Batman had saved at the circus - after observing Robin perform a gymnastic move which was identical to one performed by Grayson at the circus and further deduced that Bruce Wayne who adopted Dick as his ward must have in fact have been the Batman. Rather than expose this to the public he used this knowledge to try to convince the Dark Knight to train him as the next Robin, but despite his evident skills as a detective he was rejected mainly due to the ''death'' of the previous Robin, Jason Todd.

He would however strive to prove himself a worthy successor by hacking into the Penguin's back account and donating millions to charity. Unfortunately this did get him and his family the attention of Penguin's goons, but thankfully Batman saved them just in time. Tim's parents would go into witness protection though they wanted something better for their son. To their luck, billionaire Bruce Wayne offered to take the boy in as part of the witness protection program and he was given the new name ''Tim Drake''.

Tim would be intensively trained until he was 11 and allowed to accompany Batman on patrol. He would continue to prove himself to be a resourceful sidekick and a valuable asset who earned his way into the Bat Family. Sadly just over a year later tragedy would strike when he was kidnapped and held captive by the Joker for two months. While he would initially resist both mental and physical torture, refusing to lose hope that Batman would find him soon, the Joker's influence became too powerful to resist and he was violently brainwashed into becoming his twisted young protégé, even donning sized down versions of the Joker's classical attire.

When the Bat Family finally rescued him, it was too late. The two months of torture had left his mind broken and in the process - he could have even revealed the true identity of Batman to the Joker had he simply been asked - though interestingly enough the Joker didn't seem interested in knowing who Batman was. Even though the Joker was soon defeated after a particularly violent face off where the Clown Prince of Crime almost succeeded in forcing Batman to break his No Kill rule, the Joker was presumed dead when he seemingly fell to his death during the confrontation but Drake was left mentally scarred and mentally shattered. This forced him to retire as Robin and he was sent to a psychiatric institute where he was treated for two years before finally being released. He has since then returned to Wayne Manor and is trying to adjust back to civilian life, though he continues to have nightmares about the Joker.
RP Sample: Same as Before.

Everything below the post about government fails to display properly for me. The bar on the side of nationstates cuts off the text.

I thought it was my image for Tim Drake - but even after I removed the image tag and turned it to a simple URL text it remained the same...

You could use the cross to place the bar over the screen, just for the time being. I hope is goes away soon...
