Infinite Justice: Beyond (OOC 5, Always Open)

[Galnius]

Would anyone be opposed to me doing a minor Timeskip for Marybeth(to the next day) to kick off the Civil war part for the JQ? She would obviously still be able to respond to earlier things via comic book time. Iirc, she is facing Captain America and Cyclops, this one would be for Cap.

It's fine with me if it's fine with the rest.

Eh, IIRC all of these fights were meant to take place during the battle of New York, which is probably not gonna happen too soon, so it might not be a great idea. Or it might be an isolated incident taking place before the battle of New York, maybe, sort of a MB vs Cap round one, with round two taking place at the battle? It could help contribute towards the anti faction's animosity towards the JQ if Mary beats up Cap, as well.

[Siliarba]

I see, I'll spank Temp in to action when I see him then.

I did post

You did post, but you didn't even acknowladge my character being there ^^

It even works with Marybeths background...

Any time in the next eon I'd good, Eski....

Race name: Alar

Race standard/average appearance: All Alar have a diamond shaped imprint right in the middle of their foreheads, they are born with it. Also, their eyes are quite luminous, irises appearing to be silver. All Alar also have bioluminescence, and can control their glow in brightness and body part with practice. Otherwise, they appear to be just like humans.

Race Specific abilities: Alar are inherently born with slightly greater strength, speed and agility than humans. However, the greatest weight most Alar can lift without external help is equivalent to that of a car, and while they have greater speed than humans, they do not have greater endurance, meaning that this greater speed can only last for a brief period of time before their muscles use up any stored energy.
Alar are also bioluminescent. This bioluminescence expends very quickly, and thus, Alar eat about 2 human meals for every meal they eat.
Alar were created with somewhat different physiology than humans. Instead of a heart, each Alar has 5 Shards within him or her. One Shard is located under their diamond shaped imprints in their foreheads, controlling rational thought, calculations, strategy and memories. Another shard is where their heart would be, controlling their emotional sides, and, in rare cases, the innate powers of that Alar. One Shard is in the palm of each hand, controlling their senses, and the 5th Shard may either be in their left or right foot, controlling physical facilities and other internal functions. These 5 spots are the most vulnerable of all Alar, and damage to one of their Body Shards can cripple them, while no Alar has been recorded as have being able to survive with critical damage to 2 or more Body Shards. A popular form of execution among the crueler times of the Alar saw stakes pinned through each Body Shard, the victims then left with 5 stakes pinning them to the ground, causing excruciating pain, and eventually, death. At great monetary cost, and possible the loss of emotions, physical facilities, rational thought, and/or memories, body Shards can be replaced.

Also, each Alar can access an shared information matrix, as they call it, a database that helps them identify and learn. Upon mere sight, they can identify another Alar, their family, files, and other information, ensuring that Alar history remains. Also, all Alar have an enhanced touch, which extends to all of their body, not just the hands. Hair plays a major role in this, and thus, most Alar keep their hair long.

Culture/World:
The Alar people revere the stars above all else. For a child to be named after one of the Starkindlers is a great honor to that child, and the family. Despite having less advanced technology than Earth, their astronomy matches Earth, if not exceeds it.
The Alar world, Solunæ, has 7 days, just like Earth. Their Sunday is Sol, Monday is Yavan, Tuesday is Elen, Wednesday is Théil, Thursday is Silma, Friday is Maur and Saturday is Aren.
As for names, while first names generally refer to concepts, ideals, heroes, and Alar history, there is no such thing as a family name. Each individual, after a defining moment, is given a surname by the community, the Alar have no need of family names to distinguish themselves thanks to the information matrix. Once this chosen surname is given to an Alar, it cannot be changed.

Alar are deathly afraid of the dark, to the extent that they will not spend a second in darkness. They are naturally bioluminescent, and at night, they sleep with candles in their rooms. Daring boys blow out each other's candles as a prank, but such a prank can have deadly consequences, causing an Alar to have a panic attack. Darkness is the enemy here, for they believe that darkness hides the foes they fought long ago, and the Leth'hao.

There are unproved predictions about an event we would know about the eclipse, called a Malan by the Alar, in which the sun is completely hidden. Some historians argue that on a Malan, there can be no light, and a Malan, several thousand years ago was responsible for the end of the Eon of Radiance, an age of enlightenment, peace and discovery.

Starkindlers and Shards:
The Alar were created by the Starkindlers, one of the oldest races in the universes, the creators of the very stars. But the Starkindlers had two foes, or so the legends go, the Leth'hao, the Voidlords; beings of pure darkness that could consume the very suns, and a fallen sister, whose name was so dark that none knew it, and whenever this sister was spoken of, the shadows seemed to grow, and a chill grew in the hearts of the Alar. Her power was not even of darkness, as it had been perpetuated to be, instead, her power was of unlight, something more than darkness.

The Starkindlers shaped the Alar, sacrificing shards of their own body, and for a time, both creator and created were at peace. But then, after years of preparation, the Starkindlers' fallen sister reemerged, seizing control of the divided Leth'hao and unifying them, leading them into battle. There was battle in the stars, upon that day, and on that day, star and kindler both fell. When the Starkindlers were slain, their bodies changed into diamond-like, crystallized stars that had by some art were as cold as the Depths of Adrast(the coldest place on Alar). But when these stars reached the atmosphere of Solunæ, they burned up, breaking up into thousands, if not millions of shards that dispersed themselves across Roshar. It is said that the Alar of ancient times fought terrible foes, known as the Fellen, every 17 years, as well, and it is suspected that the Fellen were agents of the Leth'hao, though not verifiable.

And shards became the most valuable resource upon the homeworld of the Alar. Shards can vary in size, some being the size of a diamond, and others, the size of a small room. The largest shard ever known, upon Solunæ is Gavril, an entire mountain crystallized by shards. Much mining takes place there. Some shards are simply beautiful, shimmering off the light of the stars. But others are imbued with powers. Some can produce the elements, others can release energy, others can be used as light, as swords, even, and all sorts of purposes. The power of those shards imbued with powers is assumed to be finite, but no limit has yet been reached. Shards shape Alar society, with the amount you have being a symbol of status and wealth. Some go as far as to build shard plantations and bring others into slavery or service to mine shards from underground. Others, as Alar technology progresses, use shards to attempt to create new lifeforms, an endeavor that has been met with failure.

Weaponry
But perhaps the greatest use the Alar have found for shards are in weaponry. Swords with shards embedded within their hilts or blades cannot break and glow when battle is near. Even more powerful are Shardblades, ancient weapons over which wars are fought. A Shardblade appears a simple sword. However, the shards within the sword project a field of energy past the area of the sword which can cut through nearly anything.

Solunæ is a divided world, the Alar squabbling for resources, shards, and b/c of both past and present disagreements. However, at the moment, there is no one dominant power, the last of those came almost 500 years ago, in the reign of Emperor Austre, who almost unified several continents.

Actually Ava launched an attacked, so the fight has started, never mind that it did nothing to the enemy...

Ah, my bad, you're right, it's begun. But I planned to have Nelli (and Yoshi) arrive towards the end of it, so...

I don't know what the plan is with the queenies but I decided to wait until after the weekend to reply to you in case temp managed to reach a computer and wanted to take part in the conversation. It's been a long weekend with Monday also counting as part of the weekend.

Species: Human

Backstory: His story is a simple one, he grew up with a mostly normal child hood in foothills of California before joining the military. After his time in the service was over with he returned home and couldn't help but notice the world of super powered people always intruding in the average persons life. As if by fortune as he was taking a drive to HWY 66 when Chase noticed a horrible wreck...only it was no wreck it was a military convoy that had been destroyed, more specifically a Hydra convoy. He had pulled over that faithful day and investigated the horrible destruction. There was no survivors and it had been deathly quiet as the sun began it's set upon the desert. Sitting in the sand was a box, half caked in the sand. It looked somewhat old and inscribed on it the words: SHIELD 1985 and opened the box to find a strange, blocky handgun. After picking up the weapon it identified him, the pistol grip molding to his hand as if choosing him. Little did he know that this weapon was part of a SHIELD military program in the 80's which included research into the Tesseract power source.

Random Facts about your character: Likes video games, athletics, politics, eating out, camping, hiking, paintball/airsoft(naturally)

Note: Saw Marvel civil war so thinking about toying with a "hero" esque character. He has a bit of a 80's retro theme going on, which i prefer.

Oh that's fine, I just didn't know when the Civil War thing would start or if I get a r1 against cap.

[Tomia]

So with the JQ....

Going to try to reply tonight or tomorrow to Katie, and then I think Star is planning on moving on with the main plot of the CW soon.

[Siliarba]

Also, does this place still have anyone to accept apps? I don't want to leave Nazeroth hanging in that aspect.

Zark I think

Yeah. Though for the record, Star's here too.

To Nazeroth: Sorry for the delay. You're accepted, I like the concept. Though if you'd like to roleplay in a more or less fresher environment, you should also join the sequel to this roleplay, Infinite Justice 4, found here. It's more active (by a slight margin, admittedly). Of course, you're free to stay as well. Civil War (the second iteration of it in our universe, technically, but the first wasn't too well done) is currently ongoing, though progress is a bit slow. If you want to see about wedging yourself in there, just talk to Star, he's the one managing the event.

[Urran]

did you ever reply, Zark? If you did I don't see it.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

did you ever reply, Zark? If you did I don't see it.

I'm afraid not yet, no.
