Finished all apps now.

[Acadeshia]

So here I'm going at ask it again. My introduction Arc is finished, so is there anyone I can interact with, like, anyone? Or maybe another Arc I can join?

[Xanatau]

Martian military

Cerberi are the elite infantry of the League of Mars, serving as the Dragonhead's personal bodyguard on the battlefield. They are well equipped with the most advanced weapons and vehicles of the Martian Armed Forces. The average soldier is armed with an Icar battle rifle which fires ionized bolts of nyx that can incinerate flesh and lesser steels in mere seconds. As a result of their Martian physiology, they are considerably stronger than the average human, they can crush bone and they are very adept at hand to hand combat. They are well disciplined and will retreat orderly, they are fearless and will risk their lives to save their superiors. Each one is equipped with a HADES full body suit that renders most modern arms useless against them. That said, they are not invulnerable, they bleed like humans and they can die like humans.

4,500 of them were present for the Battle for Earth

Xanatau auxiliaries

The Xanatau, once a proud people are now shadows of their former selves after their subjugation at the hands of the 'new' Martians. They are primarily used as cannon fodder, given minimal training and obsolete equipment. However, they are still capable fighters in their own right and are experienced at guerrilla warfare.

Xanatau Chieftans

The Chieftans of the various Xanatau tribes are afforded the (second) best equipment in the Martian military. They are armed with energy staffs and power armor. They prefer to fight at close range.

Mk.VIII 'Gargoyle'

The Gargoyle unmanned aircraft is the main space superiority fighter of the Martian aerial forces. Due to the fact that they were intended for space combat, they are far faster than any current human aircraft. They are armed with duel pillum cannons near the nose of the craft.

Nemean War Droid

The Nemean War Droid is 3.6 meters tall, is armed with six Tricar cannons for anti-personnel action and a 160mm Solcrum main cannon for anti-armor. The droid is unmanned and is operated with sophisticated Martian-developed A.I.

Chariot class frigate

The frigate's main armament is its complement of Mk.VIII Gargoyle star fighters, each one has 26. The ship is 200 meters long and its hull is reinforced with Iritius steel and radiation shield, which combined, is strong enough to withstand a nuclear strike. There are 104 of this class in the invading Armada.

[Xanatau]

I'm overseeing my invasion of Earth, my rp'ing will continue when the main phase begins. Sorry. Maybe you could join that?

Might be a possibility. What is the goal of the Martians? They might align with my own, in which case I might join their side.

[Xanatau]

Might be a possibility. What is the goal of the Martians? They might align with my own, in which case I might join their side.

The Martians, more accurately, the House of Mars's goal is to spread the will of the Vessel of Mars, an ancient entity as old as the planet itself. The entity is the embodiment of war and subtlety enslaves mortal beings by granting them god-like powers, in return they must spread his will throughout the Galaxy. The League of Mars are given the illusion they have free will but in reality are willing slaves to the Vessel. In order to spread his will, they need to build a vast empire by conquering planets and whole star systems. They also need slaves and resources to meet that end. In reality, the driving force behind this invasion is the Vessel itself, the true God of War. There is no depth he isn't willing to sink to in order to accomplish his goal.

So you can, basically, either sign up for the Martian WayTM, temporarily decide to aid the earth defenders due to intersecting goals, or start trying to whack heroes/villains over the head and drag them into your reeducation facility.

There is no benefit whatsoever in aiding the Martians, so yeah. But this goal is obviously not yet know to the humans. The nature of the Martians is almost completely unknown.

[Dyelli Beybi]

Is the martian invasion planned as a secondary thread?

Just thought it might be a good idea to let folk who aren't talking part continue playing in the Los Santos sandbox/destroying the city

Plus shorter ICs are more likely to draw in new players, who we will need eventually to replace folk as they drop off.

It could be, it's not decided yet.

Well, Shojiro's goal is simply to end all war, he doesn't particularly care by what means. So I'm thinking he joins your side, at least until he figures out that once you have conquered earth you'll simply just move on to another war with another planet, and then switch sides since unifying earth under the Vessel will only lead to more war.

I'd appreciate it that you didn't invade until later this afternoon, I have an app that isn't with me I was planning on using during the invasion.

Everyone is freaking out about an invasion, meanwhile Dark Lord is building an army underground.

Super Identity:
Real Identity: Damien
Is the true identity public knowledge or private? Private
Hero, Villain, or Neutral? Villain
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Group Affiliation: None
Legal Sanctions: None
D&D Alignment: Chaotic
Powers: Teleportation, Dark Arts, Hell-Fire and Dark Fire, Dark Element Manipulation, Contract Bestowal and Summoning
Equipment: He has a staff which fire dark energy. It's essentially just for looks though.
Power Origin: Magic
Weaknesses: Holy weaponry is the only kind of weapon that can affect him, and Holy Water can hurt him greatly.
Personality: He feels himself above humanity, so talks down to every human he comes into contact with.
Background: Damien's true name cannot be pronounced in any human tongue, so he chose it for himself when he came up from the underworld. Damien isn't truly a demon, but he's close. He's more akin to a dark spirit, a very dangerous dark spirit. Damien was sent to cleanse the world of the only forces that could stop an invasion from the underworld. His first job was the Order of Spirits of Christ. It took centuries to find the right group to do his dirty work, but finally he settled on the Knights of Allah. For two hundred years, Damien manipulated the Knights, giving them power until they were able to attack the Order. They did, and he insured that they were destroyed as well.

It wasn't long after this attack that he discovered his son, Tenebris, had aided a Legion in escaping. Now Damien must track the monk down himself and kill him, as well as any other threats to an invasion by the underworld.

I approve, but I'll let the OP have the final say

[United States of Conner]

So, can someone let me know when the invasion is about to go down, say, maybe a few hours before they enter the atmosphere? I've got a thing going with Pruss, but I can pause it, finish it over TG, and have Adonis and Specter in DC.

I've got some fun toys to bring.

[Prusslandia]

Super Identity: Adonis.
Real Identity: Adonis.
Is the true identity public knowledge or private? N/A.
Hero, Villain, or Neutral? Neutral.
Age: Biologically, he is 25. Chronologically, he is 5 years.
Gender: Male.
Appearance:

Group Affiliation: Akira International/ U.S. Military (Pending.)
Legal Sanctions: Bioweapon.
D&D Alignment: Lawful Evil.
Powers:

Able to lift 2,000x weight at highest capacity.
Able to reach and sustain speeds of up to 90 mph on average.
Can heal minor wounds within seconds, and regenerate organs and limbs within hours, or days, depending on energy level.
Can enter a hibernative state, in which his heart rate lowers to a one beat per hour, and the fat stores within his form are used for food. Upon leaving this state, Adonis requires his daily caloric intake multiplied by his days in hibernation.
Adonis' teeth are rather sharp, able to gouge steel and backed up by an insanely powerful jaw muscle. He also has a secondary layer of smaller curved teeth in his throat, in order to keep prey that has been eaten whole within.
Adonis can attain flight.
Sight in the ultraviolet and infared spectrums.
The ability to see within the bodies of others.
Wolf like senses.
Doesn't need sleep for three days.
Retractable five inch long talons.
Invulnerability to standard ballistic munitions and most weaponry.
Night vision.
Mild chameleon like ability, in which he can mimic the coloration and texture of a surface. Only sustainable for a short amount of time.
Inability to get sick.
Highly dense bone structure. A sledgehammer won't break anything without several hits, though he may get a sprain ir a hairline fracture.

Enhanced intelligence, on par with that of a genius.
Mild telepathic ability, in which he renders the will of others useless as he projects his own will upon them. Causes paralyzing fear, allowing him to kill them without incident. Untested on Keter class metahumans.

Equipment: Nano fiber bodysuit that can withstand standard, sustained, munitions fire.
Power Origin: Mutant/Technology/Alien.
Weaknesses: Adonis requires a massive amount of calories to survive- equal to an entire cow a day. If he doesn't eat at least half of that amount per day, he enters the aforementioned hibernative state.
Personality: Wolflike. He isn't human, or meta human, he is simply something else. He has no need for morality, or any sort of real emotion. He is cold, ruthless, and utterly inhuman.
Background: Adonis wasn't born. He was made. He is the end result of many trials by Akira International, to create a being capable of eliminating metahumans unkillable by conventional means.

Theme song: Moonlight Sonata.

RP experience: Would you mind if my first post serves as my example ? I usually don't do character rps, so I don't have any recent examples.
