And yes, I know that it will limit my interaction abilities, but it will hopefully be a one-off thing for a major arc, after which I will claim a single character for playing with the rest of the RP.

Alrighty.

Ok then. Feel free.

Blackwing Coast wrote:Faction Application


Faction Name: The Blood Bank (Alignment: Lawful Neutral)

Location: Zurich, Switzerland (HQ) - has several branch offices in other countries.

Level of Technology: Modern Tech, Arithmancy (Math Magic, allowing for e.g. clockpunk, teslapunk, and enchanted bank notes), Blood Magic (lending a new meaning to blood debts and allowing them to run the Boneyard)
The Boneyard: By splicing select plants with freshly harvested human bones, they are able to keep the bone marrow alive and contiunally harvest fresh blood. While not as tasty or vibrant as true human blood, it is enough to sustain a vampire, and more compatible with their remaining human biology than animal blood. The harvested bones need to be replaced at times, but last about 3 times longer than the remaining human lifespan of the host. They try to optimize the process, but their only true success so far has been in creating vampire blood - which is rather unpopular among vampires as it shifts the drinker's appetites from human blood to that of other vampires - and fresh from a true vampire it is still tastier. The one good use it has is reviving a vampire with its own blood, previously harvested from cultivated bone samples.

Faction Biography/Lore: Founded by Vampires in the 19th century, the Blood Bank deals in money, blood and favors. While a bit shady at times -well, all the time- they do not want to "flip to the game board".
They see their vampiric compulsion to count little things as an asset, not a weakness - with specialized training they become masters of pattern recognition and accounting. They are also able to understand Math Magic on a deeper level than most humans - though they still often reach the point where they get something working and do not know why it does. It does not particularly bother them so long as they can replicate the result.
They are decent bankers and investment brokers. Usually their investments are fairly conservative, but sometimes their vampiric megalomania or overreliance on arithmantic prophecies gets the better of them.

Population Size: Approx. 350 Employees and approx. 1500 customers - all vampires.

Army Size: Approx. 50 Vampire Knights in power armor and 5 in exo suits, Approx. 500 ghouls and 50 crypt horrors, trained to the level of dogs. Given that they usually play it safe, the army is mostly defensive.

Lore on Ghouls:
Ghouls are what happens when you revive a recent non-vampire corpse with vampire blood, or when a vampire goes too long through interchanging periods of all animal blood diet and heavy starvation.
They have all the powers of a vampire, but none of the mind - intellectucally they are on the level of chimps or dogs. They are carnivores, but do not exclusively target humans. The same epigenic changes that allow their diet are also transferred to all those who the ghouls infect - transforming them into more ghouls. If a ghoul is given the blood of a vampire, it will try to eat them - but in combination with blood magic will instead become beholden to them. If a ghoul is given vampire blood that is genetically identical to its own, it will become an independent vampire. Ghouls are able to push their intelligence back to human levels, and with vampire blood even beyond - but doing so requires a diet of human blood and human brains. Uran legends of zombie outbreaks are usually ghouls who are just lucid enough to know who to eat to return to a full human capacity - and often lose their new mind when their new human conscience looks upon their past deeds.
Crypt Horrors are created by feeding a bunch of ghouls vampire blood and having them eat each other - the result is a monstrosity, forever beholden to the vampiric donor via blood magic.
Another way is to start with corpses, build a body, submerge it in vampire blood and close the gaps with high-level blood magic. Its strength and endurance are that of a dozen normal ghouls.
It is possible to build a sapient crypt horror if you start with a living vampire, but most vampires find such oversized bodies impractical.


Also, I found this guy on 9gag

Fuck, there's should be a super hero based off this guy, tattoo artiste by day, vigilante by night. He has a small tattoo shop in a rough part of town where he gathers Intel on the criminal underground from his various "shadier" clients. After he finished his day job, he switches the tattoo pen off for various weapons and defends his city. His alias is "black ink"

Let me know if anything is incorrect here. And the ratios here, fellas, are why supervillains are temporarily banned. Most of the superheroes are controlled by a few people, and I don't want this RP to turn out having all of the villainous fellas throwing themselves at the heroes over and over again. So I really do encourage you fellas, especially those with villains, if you can manage it, to make heroes as well.

Naplez wrote:Character Application


Name: Isaac Barnett

Superhero Name:

Age: 146 (Looks 16)

Gender: Male

Race/Species: Vampire

Appearance: http://imgur.com/a/ejOn6

Personality: Kind, positive, and sometimes naive, Isaac has a mindset where he tries to imagine the consequences his actions would have on other people, even if they appear to be enemies, believes in that people can change for the good, but he has no hesitation doing the dirty works if he sees he has no other way out

Biography: Isaac was born to a low class family in the 1880´s, he spent his childhood being playing pranks and playing with his friends, his life changed a cloudy day of september, where Isaac was playing in the deep part of the forest near his town with some friends, when they saw a man resting on some of the trees, he looked like the typical vagabond and the three boys decided to throw rocks at him until he woke up, that was the worst thing they could do.

The vagabond woke up, moving in an unnatural fashion, with his mouth open and his eyes having an empty look on them, as if he was an animal looking for prey. After seeing where they were he ran at an incredible speed, the boys ran back to the city, but the vagabond soon reached up to them. Isaac being the one who was the slowest of the three, was grabbed by the collar and pinned onto the floor where he cried for his friends to come back and help him, only to hear them scream sorry and seeing them run into the further from where he was, after screaming for help a bit more he realized the situation he was in when the vagabond bit him in the neck. It felt as if his life was being sucked out of him, he tried to break free but the vagabond had an impressive strenght despite his appereance. The next thing that happened can only be described as pure and simple luck, while the vagabond was sucking the blood out of Isaac a part of the cloudy sky cleared up and a ray of light passed through the dense trees and reach the vagabond and Isaac. The vagabond started to burn and Isaac used this chance to escape from the vagabond grasp.

Isaac was very confused what had just happened, a man had just tried so suck him dry and started to burn in the sun, it all sounded as the horror story his father used to tell him at night, he decided to go back to the city believing that the worst had happened but still couldnt get the thought that his friends had abandoned him, it filled him with an irrational rage, he wanted revenge againts them, those feelings of revenge made Isaac unaware of the biological changes that were happening in him.

In the dead of the night Isaac, still in the forest heard some sounds, the sound came from his friends, as if they were looking for something they could use as an explanation of what happened to him, Isaac sneaked up on them feeling angrier by each moment he was near them, but the feeling of rage soon changed into hunger, like the man who attacked him he lunged at his friends pinning both on the floor holding them both by the neck, in an unconsious move he bit one of his friends, the more blood he drank from him, the more the feelings of hunger and rage calmed, it was only the moment that his hunger had satiated he realized the situation he was.

He had become a monster and had killed one of his friends, he released the other one from his grasp and escaped from the proximity, he decided he would find a way to become human, even if he took his whole life, now Isaac is still searching for away, having also found out that his kind doesnt age, he has met many people like him, some irrecognizible from normal humans and some that were nothing better than animals, he has also met vampire hunters, and after various close encounters with death stopped explaining his plan on returning back to a human, he has still no clue on how to become human again but he thinks that an answer may lie in pandora city, hoping to cure other people that were involuntarily transformed into vampires.

Powers/Abilities:
  • Vampiric powers : He has super speed, strenght, heightened reflexes and regeneration
  • Age: Isaac has been fighting vampire hunters and his own kind for centuries so he knows what to use to escape or deal with them and has managed to completly resist the vampiric weakness to count small things like rice, salt or pebbles, running water and having to be invited to enter a house
  • Willpower: Isaac has enogh willpower to resist if only for a brief moment his vampiric weakness, either to escape of to deal a blow to his opponent


Weaknesses
  • Vampiric weakness: Being a vampire Isaac will burn in sunlight, holy water and crosses work like acid againts him,the smell of garlic drives him nuts and salt burns his skin as well as cosmetic effects such as not casting a reflection and not appearing in photos.
  • Vampiric Hunger: Even if Isaac has considerable willpower there will be a time when he has to feed on human blood either willingly or with his subcounsious taking over
  • Willpower: Resisting one of his weaknesess is a extremely taxing process, depleting most of his stamina and if done many in times succesion can cause Isaac to either pass out or to lose his powers temporarily
  • Regeneration : His regeneration cant heal Injuries caused by sunlight or decapitation/stake trough the heart, the process of regeneration also makes him thistier for blood


Equipment:
Scarf to cover his head in the day
Gloves
Coat

Likes: Helping people, night, redeeming someone
Dislikes: Vampire hunters, people who just care for themselves, vampires that are apathethic or want to conquer humans.
Theme Song: (Optional)


Additional information:

This is a WIP for an hero NPC, would like to hear Altito opinion on the weaknesess I put for the vampire before I consider this as finished since Altito character is going to be fighting vampires


RP Sample: (A link to a specific post is fine. If this is your first RP, it's ok, just put N/A here and focus on your bio to display your writing ability. Thanks!)






Race Application


Race Name: Vampires

Location: Europe mostly, but are all over earth

Race Appearance: They look like normal humans but have some different traits like are fangs and grayer skin

Culture/World: There are many types of vampires, the most common trait their share is their feeling of superiority, believing humans to be animals in comparision to them, most of them also suppport the secresy of their existence believing they would be hunted to extinction if their existence was known, in all vampires there is a part of the beast that their race once was, most vampires keep their instinct under control but some others letting it all out, these vampires are usually killed very fast either by their own kind or vampire hunters and can get very dangerous if left alone for a long time.

Vampires are usually very knowlegable in one or type of fields of science and despite their hate of humans, they value literature and the arts. Most vampire Factions have a heirarchy based on the age of the vampire, since older vampires are more powerfull and experienced than younger ones, combined with their usual arrogance, leads to a lot of fights a the faction. A rare type of vampires are the ones who want to actively want to help humans and turn back to normal, tought there are some vampires that dont see humans as below them, they rarely want to help them againts other vampires, out of spite for the deaths of their kind caused by humans or their simply dont care enough about them, much less they would be giving their inmortality and powers, even their weakness to sunlight isnt a big deal enough for them to want to return to normal.

Biography/Lore: Vampire have been on earth since the dawn of man, being the terror that kept them awake and forced them to hide in their homes during the night, in their early days they were nothing more than beasts that hided in caves during the day to attack the unsuspecting people during the night, time passed an they grew more powerful from their age, managing to infiltrate human society without any suspiscion to them, but the beast that they had been in their early days still existed in them, manifesting in them as a irrestible hunger that left many victims, some of them that joined their ranks in undead life, or manifesting as the desire to be above humans, these type of vampires became the tyrants and psycopaths that we know today, using their charms learned by years of experience to obtain positions of power and subjugate their human minons.
But their infiltration couldnt go unnoticed forever, Vampire hunters were created by humans who had survived encounters with them without being turned into them or remorseful vampires who told humans their weakness, soon these people joined and formed their organizations, hunting anyone who fit the description of a vampire, the newer vampires gained a high mortality rate, but the old ones had high positions of power where they could not be suspected without risking some sort of torture, connections with supernatural beings that granted them protection, or were powerful enough to completly eliminate the most obvious weakness.

But even them could make mistakes and little by little, with each century passing their numbers decreased, this caused panic on some of the older an newer generations, that caused them to divide in the ones that wanted to propagate the vampire race, to create an army powerful enough to subjugate or exterminate vampire, and the ones that want to keep the number of vampires low, after all less vampires means less competition for the rest. These ideologys combined with other differing opinions about how to beat their weakness to sunlight, their dependance of the human race, the secret of their race and how they came to be has caused the rise of many vampire factions, especially in Europe where most of vampires live in what can be called a faction war.

Inherent Powers/Abilities:
  • Vampiric powers: They have super strenght and speed as well as heightened reflexes, dexterity, Inmortality and regeneration
  • Age: The older a vampire is the more powerful he becomes, with age also comes the ability to eliminate some of the most obnoxious abilities like having to count seeds or the inability to cross running water
  • Inmortality: Vampire´s inmortality usually gives them time to study some field of science and become familiar with the supernatural creatures that are around them.
    Weaknesses
    [box]
    • Vampiric weakness: These range in burning in sunlight, salt burning their skin, crosses, holy water and holy ground feeling like acid in their presence, forced to count small objects such as salt, pebbles or seeds, cant cross running water like oceans and rivers and have to be invited to a house before being able to enter.
    • Thirst for blood:They cant be free of their thirst for blood, if they go without drinking blood for a period of time their subcounsious will take over and force them to act like an animal.
    • Age: Younger vampires usually are very arrogant, believing themselves to be the best of their kind, this either ends with them gaining humilty or death, one of the many reasons new vampires have a high mortality rate.
    • Vampire hunters and themselves: Vampires are target of many organizations that want to destroy them, they also have the unfortunate tendency to battle one another, causing the majority of vampires to be very wary of using their powers in places with many people
    • Regeneration: Their regeneration cant heal injuries caused by sunlight or death by decapitation/stake trought the heart and the more it has to regenerate the more the vampire thirstier the vampire will get


Included a race app, want to hear altito opinion on the race app since he tought of the concept of vampires first


Looks fine from me. Sorry for the late opinion, didn't noticed at all when you first posted the apps.

My idea was to not have him have any powers as of yet, but Steve could grant him powers or whatnot if he want to.
It appears I'm an INTP-T. You're not gonna get much more about me.

sweet.

So who wants to be Hell Chaser's archrival? He's a villain/antihero, so he needs a hero to fight. I feel they should be intelligent equals, sometimes sitting down for magneto/Prof. X chess.

She will need a ship at one point, but that will be built in the rp.

Tag. Where does the line lie between anti-heroes and heroes? Obviously, someone like Batman-not saying I want a Batman-esque character, just using him to portray the idea- can fit into either.

Batman is known for violent and not killing, categorized as nice anti hero. Punisher is not nice anti-hero, since he's violent and kills people. And then there are others who are not really violent and not killing.

The line is kind of lost since Batman and Punisher are anti-heroes but have different principles while Superman is a hero and his principle is as same as Batman.

Character Application


Name: Aegis Martins

Superhero Name: Agent Spider

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Race/Species: Human

Appearance:

Image
(Except without the web shooters)

Image
He now wears a jacket. The hood and sleeves are navy blue speckled with white. The torso is black with a Venom-like spider back and front. Aegis wears night vision goggles so no one can see his eyes while he can see everything. He wears black fingerless gloves, black jeans, and black vans.

Image


Personality: Humble in origins. He is kind, positive, and trusting towards friends, but is willing to do what it takes against enemies and if you stand in his way.

Biography: Aegis was born to a military family 15 years before the box hand opened. His positive outlook on life was always a warm welcome to people, so he made friends easily. However, his father was a soldier in the US military and his mother was a scientist, so he had to move around a lot. At times, he made friends in Korea and played on the beaches. Other times, he was with friends in the Savannah. Very rarely, he couldn't see other kids, so he was alone. The more friends he made, the more he missed them. But even then, he was still positive.

Then the news came on about the box opening. Both Aegis and his parents were amazed at it and that it created metahumans. That changed when these metahumans became villains. Due to their background and several people up high, the family was recruited into The Agency. Scientists were to study any lifeforms affected by the box, while those with extensive military and police backgrounds were to bag and tag the villains. One day, Aegis was messing around in the labs when, much like Peter Parker in the comics, was bit by a spider. It is unclear if the spider was directly affected by the box, was a descendant of the spider, or was affected by tests. One thing was clear, he was given powers and was immediately put in training by The Agency to develop them.

During a "break-in," Aegis's parents were killed, despite being the best. Aegis soon learned the truth: The Agency wanted this to happen and killed his parents themselves. They wanted him to be angry at the world. This backfired on them and Aegis left. He lived a life on the run and had changed his costume. He is currently looking for a new one.

Powers/Abilities:
  • Enhancements to human abilities (balance, strength, speed, reflexes, agility, healing factor, five senses)
  • Spider-Sense -- This helps Aegis identify danger whether it's an enemy in disguise, tainted materials, and so on.
  • Wall-crawling -- Can crawl on walls, ceilings, etc.
  • Organic webbing -- This allows Aegis's body to produce webs from his forearms and shoot them as he pleases. Aegis had grown spinnerets in his forearms that terminate in small pores at the junction of his wrists. By pressing down with his middle fingers to his palm, he causes the pores to open and the spinnerets to eject the organic fluid.
  • Stingers -- retractable, razor-sharp stingers that were located within his arms below his wrists. They release and are coated in a polyamine venom, which when shot, caused minor paralysis.


Weaknesses
  • He cannot crawl on ice, despite living in the Himalayas
  • His organic webbing depends on his nutrition and health
  • The goggles he wears can short out


Equipment: Night vision goggles

Likes: Friends
Dislikes: The Agency, people who betray him
Theme Song:


Additional information: Don't piss him off.

Sivio wrote:Spanish Republic/Franconian Spain Timeline

Year: June, 1823


Bartolomé de Leiva, Consul of the Great Spanish Republic, was pacing about his office. It was refurbished from the old throne room from nearly 40 years ago. His office had a map of the entire world on one wall and a painting of himself behind his desk. The desks and chairs were imported from New Granada, while the fabrics were from China. Leiva, his colonial governors, and several generals were wondering about what to do with the disloyal subjects in the New World. "My Consul," said the New Portuguese governor. "Ever since Atlantis fell to the British a century ago, subjects have been asking for better defense. Even to the point of rioting. So I implore you to send another army for us." The governors of New Granada, Terra Nova, and Pandorica nodded in agreement.

"We can't sending troops over to Ozon and Eunax," said General Rafael Atencio. "Especially not with the threat of the Anglo-Turk Alliance. The colonies on both continents can handle themselves. Just simply take more land from the natives." The governors thought long and hard.

"That is a fair point," said the Pandorican governor. "However, despite our claims on the lands, we haven't explored every bit of land."

"Then get guides from the natives," said Atencio. "I'm sure they will be glad to guide you in trade of some goods." All of a sudden, Leiva's Vice Consul entered the room. "I do apologize for my tardiness, Consul," he said. "However, I had an important matter with the French. They want their lands back." Leiva sighed and shook his head. He looked at the map and said, "They are in no position to demand anything, especially not in their condition." Mainland France has just been reduced to the north. "Tell them no and then proceed to invade them. The deal is to take everything the French have. They're nothing but a backwater nation that doesn't deserve to be on this planet. Dismissed." Then the Consul, his generals, the colonial governors, and his Vice Consul left the office.

Two months later, Leiva and Atencio were in front of a 51 thousand men army. It was complete with the best weapons to date, the best infantry, the best cavalry, and the best artillery. The Spanish and French were at war for what needs to be the last time. Most of the European based armies have either begun the march towards France or already in France. Smaller yet still a force to be reckon with Spanish African armies have invaded French Africa. The colonies were currently invading the only French colony in the New World. "My loyal countrymen," said the Consul. "The French believe they are in a place to demand from the most powerful force on Earth. Are they right?"

"No!" shouted the men.

"Do they deserve to have a place on Earth?" said Consul Leiva.

"No!"

"These backwater people think they can take our lands, our homes, our families, and our ideals from us. And we must defend all these things at all costs. Now move--" Then all of a sudden, a bright light appeared and the entire army, the Consul, and the General disappeared.

So, would anyone be interested in forming a Teen Titan-esque superhero group?
Disclaimer: Nothing said here is the product of a rational mind.
So...apparently I'm a decent writer. Um...wait, what?
Relativity, nukes in space, nukes in atmosphere, LASERs, MASERs, kinetic weapons, missile and kinetic CIWS, impactors and centripital force.

And, of course, for anything at all, you can always go here.

And although my character can team up with this Titan-esque team, he would rather do stuff himself.
