Gods Among Us V4.0 [Superhero] (OOC|OPEN)

[Granis]

Who's turn is it to post?

Granis, Serah, and Chamera in the Academy.

I also owe Atria a post.

Oh, I was gonna wait for you to post for Roc first, so I could get Joseph and Michael out of the way together. I'll post today then, I guess.

I'm going to wait for the turn order to go around. I'm a bit too busy to make a good post.

[Dyelli Beybi]

Last call... is anyone interested in bringing in a character to join the 'Gang of Freaks' plot? If so, now would be the time to say something. If not, I'm going to write a new character.

[The Flutterlands]

Im thinking of a character for the gang of freaks. Can I have clarity and info for that?

Also, will be making an Andrew post soon...

Alright, I may be overloading myself, but I think I've got a good idea.

One question: The character would have several mental issues, such as paranoia, streaks of sudden anger and such things but would likely end up being loyal to Alice as long as his goals are fulfilled in the end.
Would a character with that sort of mindset work in your gang?

[Primordial Luxa]

As a heads up for academy folks, we will be engaging in a variety of "monster of the week" and mini quest events.

I will be accepting less heroes and looking for more villians so we have that sense of a multiple villians. This won't end the Slaggep story but it will slow down to allow us to explore our characters and have little events. Here are some which I have thought of / which I have heard about.

1. To go to Venus we will need something to let us survive there. Space Mead does this, its a magical elixir that allows space travel, perhaps Brookes can take some kids to make some? Perhaps Sophia has some materials that might be useful.
2. The kids have been in Exham for a while, maybe a break out to London for a night on the town would do them well. Meta-Musician Nikki Lightning will be in town.
3. Post one off villians that would pose a challenge to the kids.

I will try to keep groups to between 2 and 4. When we get above that people tend to get forgotten and no one likes that.

[Dyelli Beybi]

Alice believes that the Government uses the fear of meta-humans as an excuse to justify widespread civil rights violations (including illegal surveillance and policing methods). Much of this is perpetuated by meta-human organisations such as the Knights, adding to the popular fear of meta-humans and the justification to use unconstitutional policing methods.

Alice is looking for people who want to go up against the Government and possibly the Knights. People who join up might be well meaning revolutionaries, might have a screw loose or might see her organisation as a means to an end.

Her short-term plan is to disrupt a certain unnamed Government Department and interfere with the Knights. Her long-term plan is to try to try to:

1. Humanise the meta-human community to counteract public fear.
2. Destroy government meta-human organisations that have overlapping roles with police departments (the Knights and the NYMD are in the cross-hairs).
3. Rearm and reequip normal police departments to be able to deal with meta-human villains on their own.

Alice is an anti-villain in this particular story-line, which isn't to say that she won't work with some pretty dubious people, but she will draw the line at demonic entities, people who eat babies and the like.

If they go to London JJ will definitely pressure Imogen to use her powers to create fake IDs...

Well then, that should be fine.
Although humanizing the meta community with this guy in could prove to be difficult.

Character Description

Given Name: Lambert Rivii
Alternate Identities: 'Mutant', 'freak', 'monster'... The list goes on, as long as it's derogatory. 'Lambo' to some. 'Black Cat' to others.
Hero, Villian or Neutral: Tends to gravitate towards Neutral, but is a definite villain to certain people.
Gender: Male
Age: ~350 years old.
Species: Mutant, but globally human.
Apperance: Grey hair, numerous scars on his body, including his face most notably being the one that cuts somewhat deeply from forehead down to his left eye. Beyond that, his physique is rather lean but hidden under his armor. Said armor is mostly color neutral with bits of grey/dark blue. He hides a metallic cat pendant under his clothes.
Lambert is also somewhat tall at almost 1M88.
Characters Biggest Strength: Lambert is extremely cunning and usually outsmarts his opponents by being several steps ahead. He also lacks the ability to feel empathy for his fellow man, or at least that's what he wants people to believe.
Characters Biggest Weakness: The plethora of side effects to his mutations, paranoia, streaks of sudden anger, and even hallucinations at times.

Motivations and Desires

Primary Goal: Meet with the last member of the Wyvill family.
Secondary Goal: Meeting Balder.
Fears: Due to his mutations and his rather long life, Lambert has been through a lot. But nothing strikes him down more than the memory of the Rivii fortress getting raided. It sure as hell won't make him run,
but it'll surely trigger his hallucinations and paranoia.

Powers

Primary Source of Powers: Training, mutations, magic.

• Rivii Kotik Physiology:
  Effects: Because of his mutations, his body has been altered so much that his reflexes, strength, stamina are all peak human, if not inhuman entirely. The precise effect of the mutations are as follows: Peak human strength, peak human reflexes (As in capable of redirecting a crossbow bolt back to its sender.), peak human stamina (The ability to recover fully from a 100M sprint in around 7 seconds).
  
  It also entails the ability to drink the potions made for them and through that, gives them a peak human metabolism that can help recovering from wounds that would be otherwise fatal with the help of their potions.
  Side effects include sterility, immunity to disease, loss of emotions, loss of empathy and cat eyes. Lambert however never seemed to suffer through the loss of emotions and simply has them dulled, whether it's an effect from the mutations themselves or because of his life, there is no clear way to tell.
  
  Weaknesses: Despite having an enhanced metabolism and whatnot, the mutation was made to work in the early renaissance era against magic threats such as mages or monsters, not against ARs, shotguns or sniper rifles. While Lambert may put up a fight, a well placed shot will end him just as well as snapping his neck for instance.
  
• Kotik Bladesinging:
  Effects: Throughout the ages, chanting certain words to cast spells has been a common medium, however, the members of the Rivii family when they created the Kotik also made some research over that medium of casting. And so, every Kotik then became trained with an art called bladesinging. Which essentially consists of uttering words of power to give different attributes to their weapon.
  Lambert however, due to time has lost some of the words, as they are part of an ancient elven tongue that isn't used anymore. As such, he only knows how to briefly electrify his sword, make it spontaneously combust, or send a wind blade.
  
  Weaknesses: The only metal known capable of resisting constant use of such magic is silver, and as such, while the techniques to forging swords stay the same, the same problem remains, it cannot be cast on something that shoots, such as a gun for instance. And any self respecting Kotik will only use it on their silver sword.
  However, there is also the matter of the fact that only Kotik can use it due to the fact that a human attempting to say the same things at the same volume would get their vocal chords shattered. While this may not be the case for Lambert, his old age as a Kotik makes it so that his vocal chords get sore after a while, so much so that he'll need several hours to say anything again, much less bladesing at all.
  
  Equipment: High grade Silver/Titanium alloy sword: A sword, long of about 1M70 and made of a silver titanium alloy capable of sustaining a Kotik's bladesinging.
  
  High grade Leather/Mail armor: A somewhat normal light armor, if a bit uncommon in its making. It allows for freedom of movement, while still allowing a decent amount of defense to the user. Made for sneaking around and sabotaging.
  
  Kotik Potions: Due to the fact that most of the original recipes for each potion has been lost, all of them are healing potions. Or rather, metabolism enhancing potions that enhance Lambert's natural metabolism to heal faster. Of course, it won't stitch wounds together, but it'll keep him fighting for longer.

Background

Occupation: Monster Hunter/Kotik
Training and Education: Throughout his life, Lambert has seen many of Rivii fortresses fall, and has attended each of them to some degree. But the one that brought the mutations was the first, and the last he saw. Farraige Dùnta.
Things any characters might know about them: Absolutely nothing. The only one that may know of Lambert doesn't even know if he's alive.
Group Affiliations: What remains of the bloodlines Balder created.
History and Bibliography: In his youth, Lambert was a pretty normal kid, almost died several times of several deadly diseases, had few friends and lived in the slums of Krakow. Until he was kidnapped by the Rivii family to make a new generation of Kotiks.
At first, he thought he'd welcome the occasion, after all, his parents had done nothing for him, might as well go through with it. And so he did. And progressively, he became quite skilled.
Then came the mutations, once he was of age. And once those happened, he never saw the world the same way. The week that followed the doses, he was found squirming and trashing in pain, knowing his body was being literally torn apart.

When the initial side effects subsided, he had effectively become a Kotik in the true sense of the term. But that meant nothing to him, he knew what the mutations did to him, he knew what they had brought.
So he left, and for ten straight years, no one had heard of him. Until he came back, with his opinions of the Rivii vastly changed. Where he once wanted to just slaughter them all, he now knew exactly why they had done this. And while it hadn't been enough to forgive them, he pledged formal allegiance to them. Officially serving as a monster hunter.

However, despite all the work he did, all the work the Rivii did on their own, they were never appreciated to their true value. And so, pogroms after pogroms happened. More and more fortresses were destroyed, and soon enough, he found himself to be among the last ones alive of his clan.
Every apprentice he had taken, every pogrom, it had taken a serious toll on his mental health. As such, he decided to move somewhere else once the last fortress fell. Maybe he'd find Balder there, maybe he'd help him find who remains.

Summary:Mentally ill mutant, somewhat bitter.

There, now we wait for the burns.

But in short, here's my character for Dyelli's arc.

[The Flutterlands]

This is a work in process that I could use help in making a full reality please. What do you think already?

[The Flutterlands]

If I'm slow to post, blame biochemistry.

I'm going to try posting tomorrow. Surprised no one gave me thoughts on my work in progress.

[Remnants of Exilvania]

Ugh, Serah, you could've atleast already started looking at Traffic Observation data or something to push us a little bit further.

[Serah]

Ugh, Serah, you could've atleast already started looking at Traffic Observation data or something to push us a little bit further.

Sorry?

I didn't know exactly where you wanted me to get, so I just waited for you to come back really.

[Confederation of imperial states]

*Stammers awake suddenly*
Mmm- What? Huh? Is it the high elves?

*Sees The Revenant's turn is finally up*
Ah, welp. Don't worry the deadman will take down those darn triad in about anotha month or so (jk).


Yeah after a few more spats with the triad (hopefully a bit shorter). Was gonna continue the main Immortals plotline a bit with another info plot point being revealed. Also probably leave it open for anyone to react with The Revenant if they want.

but she will draw the line at demonic entities, people who eat babies and the like.

HEY.

Demons are people too.

Character Description

Given Name: Lake Stonecipher
Alternate Identities: 'Android' 'Specter' 'Ghost'
Hero, Villian or Neutral: Neutral, leaning to hero
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Species: Meta-human
Apperance: (I'll do this when I have more time)
Characters Biggest Strength: His calculative mind when he uses his power, and how once he makes a decision he always sticks with it.
Characters Biggest Weakness: Not only does he become emotionless when he uses his power because that part of his brain is switched from emotion to calculating due to the very nature of his power, he also has to come into direct contact with whatever he wants to manipulate (refer to power). In addition, he is currently extremely susceptible to persuasion on either side of good and bad because he doesn't have his own deeply rooted ideals and morals. In addition, his body is still that of a normal human, so if caught off guard he could easily be eliminated./list]

Motivations and Desires

Primary Goal: He seeks to know what is truly right or wrong, rather than wavering between different perspectives
Secondary Goal: Commit to being either a hero or a villain
Fears: The thing that scares Lake the most is himself. His power alone frightens him so much because he doesn't like hurting people, but he will if the situation calls for it.
Also heights. Heights suck.

Powers

Primary Source of Powers: Meta-Gene and self teaching since nobody can tell him how his power works.


• Power 1: Vector Manipulation
  Effects: It is the ability to change the direction and magnitude of vectors.
  Weaknesses: Lake has to use Function Conversion before he can manipulate anything, which takes about 1-2 minutes. Also has to be in direct contact with what he wants to manipulate.
  
• Power 2: Function Conversion
  Effects: Changes any given part of his brain to function in the ways he needs. Time to complete varies on the change. To use Vector Manipulation requires about 1-2 minutes of time to convert the emotional part of his brain to the logical and calculative part
  Weaknesses: Time to complete the process varies on how much is being changed as well as how much lake can concentrate on the changing.
  Equipment: None

Background

Occupation: Student I guess?
Training and Education: He attended a normal preschool and school up until he was taken into the academy, so about the standard knowledge of a 14 year in everything except for math. Since his power requires the utmost computational skill, he excels in it far beyond that of a high schooler, rivaling those that major in math in college.
Things any characters might know about them: Appearance through pictures, his affiliation with the Academy. Maybe a select few people can know about his Function Conversion if he gets to know them well enough.
Group Affiliations: Loyal to no one, but can currently be persuaded extremely easily into doing something that someone wants.
History and Bibliography:

Summary: Confused and desperate, but decisive.

Its a greaat start to a app but I would need to see a bit more before I could approve it. It's noticably missing a history and bibliography.

Character Description

Given Name: Patrick West
Alternate Identities: Hertz (When on duty), EUNIQE (When he's DJ'ng)
Hero, Villian or Neutral: Neutral
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Species: Human
Apperance: Real Apperance

DJ Appearance

Hertz Outfit

44 Hertz Outfit

Characters Biggest Strength: Often able to bring people together, people, heroes or villains due to his influence on the underground scene.

Characters Biggest Weakness: His apathetic nature to many things leads him to caring far less about something than he should, regardless of the consequences.

Motivations and Desires

Primary Goal: Hertz only goal is to be able to provide for his sister and niece, while also chasing his dream of becoming a world famous DJ and producer with his music.


Secondary Goal: In order to fully provide for his family through his music, while still being able to spend money for the proper equipment and club upkeep as a musician and DJ, he often takes on hits and operations to help fund it with the Hertz suits he created with the help of his mentor, Professor Decans.

Fears: Often when he's heavily outnumbered, facing people with Superior Firepower and more often than not, if his family or friends life is in danger. Another thing that usually terrifies him, is the possibility of total failure which in his past nearly led to him giving up completely.

Powers

Primary Source of Powers: Hertz has access to a host of technology available to him, being a engineering and science prodigy with the help of his late friend Professor Decans. He's managed to build two highly advanced suits with the 44 version having more versatility albeit being weaker than the normal Hertz suit. He also has skills in Wrestling, Pankration, Krav maga and Jujutsu. Which has given him a varied range of skills in hand to hand combat.


• Painkranktion:
  Effects: Hertz will deploy a small drone that within its immediate radius of 50-100 feet depending on one's sense of hearing will release a continuous signal of painful ringing and 2-3 second intervals of sound waves to immobilize or knock an enemy out.
  
  Weaknesses: One can create a device or use a power to keep sound waves from entering their ears or be death. Of course if you have the chance you can also destroy the drone if you have the chance, a skilled marksman or medium ranged AOE power has the possibility of destroying it.
  
• Superior Strength, Speed & Stamina:
  Effects: With both suits they increase Hertz strength, speed & stamina to that of a superior level, above peak human levels but less than super srength, speed or stamina itself. With both suits he can lift at least 5 tons but less than 10 tons. He can fight several hours longer than most humans are capable for longer missions and he can run between 45-60 miles per hour depending on how hard he pushes himself.
  
  Weaknesses: Although he's capable of these feats, overuse can overextend and damaged his ligaments and muscles and isn't advised for prolonged periods of time. Additionally outside of his suits themselves, he rests within or below peak human levels.
  
  Equipment: Advanced suits and gadgets for multiple uses, namely bounties or assassinations. Among them, innumerable pistols, rifles, sniper rifle, grenades and one or two missile launchers. Often he uses the clear markets weapons, or tests prototypes from prospective companies not having created his own yet.

Background

Occupation: He currently DJ’s at a local club which he co-owns while he nets pretty good profits, club upkeep costs are also an issue which led to him becoming Hertz to fulfill contracts and bounties to better pay for his equipment, gadgets, club and family.

Training and Education: Hertz got his wrestling and Pankration training while in Middle and High School form his coach, who used to be an instructor in Sparta and Athens Greece. It took over 7 years to learn the skills he has now. Despite that, for 3 years while training for freelance contract work before he was 20 they were taught the basics of Jujutsu and Pankration. Since then he's been training himself and learning from experience in combat itself.

Things any characters might know about them: He comes from Detroit, although he seems to be able to travel between universes based off descriptions of the Detroit he inhabits and it's possible he works for a company involved with inter dimensional bounties or crime. Despite that, he's known not to take assassinations on kids or pregnant women, but has no qualms with abduction or capture of these individuals. Other than that, it's only known he had brief contact and relationship with the late Professor Decan.

Group Affiliations: The only true affiliation he's known to have with is the club he works at as a DJ as EUNIQE, which he often donates to and spends time at after a job, the club name itself is called Motown Pulse. Other than that, it's only known that he takes jobs from a wide range of people, namely Governments and Criminal Organizations alike.

History and Bibliography: Hertz, otherwise known as Patrick grew up in a futuristic and Cyberpunk reality of Detroit. Which had access to multiple universes, through what the Government of the sua at the time called, a “Rift Gate”, but anyone else would call teleportation gate. This often led to many field trips and adventures for science classes into other universes or dimensions that were allowed by the school board. Despite this, Patrick lived in what most would call the slums. In order to stay away from crime he got involved in sports and engineering in Middle School, where he'd begin to pick up the skills he currently has.

Despite this, he was never able to fully stay away from criminal activity. While he was getting into DJ’ng at a local club called Motown Pulse, Patrick would end up getting involved with some underground contacts who he'd soon call friends. After several months of shakedowns, muggings and larceny to help fund the club and feed his family Patrick would agree to help break into his college's science department for all their equipment at 17. Despite their attempts, Professor Deacon who'd held the title and name of Fader would catch them and let them go on the condition they didn't try anything again.

Despite the run in with the then hero of Detroit, Patrick would still look for who he truly was. Often progressing in his criminal activities, he'd only try to change his ways when his close friend Terry was killed in a shootout.

Over the next 2 years Patrick, who'd initially taken the title of Decay would train with Professor Deacon (Fader) in Krav maga and Jujutsu, while the professor also helped him home his craft in engineering and science. Together they'd become a duo, reducing Detroit and it's crime to lower levels than it'd seen in decades. Despite that, when he was 19 Patrick, now Decay would face his first true opponent. A Kingpin who modeled his gang after the original and infamous Purple Gang, would end up surfacing.

The criminal syndicate was so powerful and dangerous that Patrick's then mentor and boss Professor Deacon and Fader would end up cutting him off the mission and investigation. Despite his attempts to keep Patrick safe, the Purple Gang would end up killing Patrick's father and uncle due to both accumulating debt with the syndicate. Shortly after, holding his entire family’s life over this head and in danger. Patrick, unsure what to do and terrified was out of duty for over 7 months refusing to leave at night, DJ’ng to try and pay off his father and Uncle's debt.

It wasn't until the Kingpin, who'd taken on the name Abe Baxtler discovered who Fader was and ended up killing him in a shootout and bombing at his house. After the death, Patrick would create a new suit and mantle which he called Hertz. With his new title and in anger, he'd push through the fear and while he was once one for justice decided to enforce it his own way and would begin to murder everyone in the Purple Gang from bottom to top. By the time he got to the upper level, he would end up eventually defeating Abe Baxtler the Kingpin of Detroit getting him locked away in the newly revamped Jackson Prison.

Ever since for the past 8 months he's been acting as his new identity Hertz, as a gun and mercenary for hire. His biggest contract having been to go back in time in another universe and kill the President JFK and planting the evidence on someone else.

Character Description

Given Name: Lake Stonecipher
Alternate Identities: 'Android' 'Specter' 'Ghost'
Hero, Villian or Neutral: Neutral, leaning to hero
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Species: Meta-human
Apperance: (I'll do this when I have more time)
Characters Biggest Strength: His calculative mind when he uses his power, and how once he makes a decision he always sticks with it.
Characters Biggest Weakness: Not only does he become emotionless when he uses his power because that part of his brain is switched from emotion to calculating due to the very nature of his power, he also has to come into direct contact with whatever he wants to manipulate (refer to power). In addition, he is currently extremely susceptible to persuasion on either side of good and bad because he doesn't have his own deeply rooted ideals and morals. In addition, his body is still that of a normal human, so if caught off guard he could easily be eliminated./list]

Motivations and Desires

Primary Goal: He seeks to know what is truly right or wrong, rather than wavering between different perspectives
Secondary Goal: Commit to being either a hero or a villain
Fears: The thing that scares Lake the most is himself. His power alone frightens him so much because he doesn't like hurting people, but he will if the situation calls for it.

Powers

Primary Source of Powers: Meta-Gene and self teaching since nobody can tell him how his power works.


• Power 1: Vector Manipulation
  Effects: It is the ability to change the direction and magnitude of vectors. (Vector - direction and speed of an object. Think of it as a counter blow in which he redirects the force of whatever was coming at him back towards the sender with increased velocity and more precise aim. Kind of like Marth in Smash bros but without a sword.)
  Weaknesses: Lake has to use Function Conversion before he can manipulate anything, which takes about 1-2 minutes. Also has to be in direct contact with what he wants to manipulate.
  
• Power 2: Function Conversion
  Effects: Changes any given part of his brain to function in the ways he needs. Time to complete varies on the change. To use Vector Manipulation requires about 1-2 minutes of time to convert the emotional part of his brain to the logical and calculative part
  Weaknesses: Time to complete the process varies on how much is being changed as well as how much Lake can concentrate on the changing.
  Equipment: A single, bulletproof mask.

Background

Occupation: Student I guess?
Training and Education: He attended a normal preschool and school up until he was taken into the academy, so about the standard knowledge of a 14 year in everything except for math. Since his power requires the utmost computational skill, he excels in it far beyond that of a high schooler, rivaling those that major in math in college.
Things any characters might know about them: Appearance through pictures, his affiliation with the Academy. Maybe a select few people can know about his Function Conversion if he gets to know them well enough.
Group Affiliations: Loyal to no one, but can currently be persuaded extremely easily into doing something that someone wants.
History and Bibliography:

Summary: Confused and desperate, but decisive.

Character Description

Given Name: Patrick West
Alternate Identities: Hertz (When on duty), EUNIQE (When he's DJ'ng)
Hero, Villian or Neutral: Neutral
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Species: Human
Apperance: Real Apperance

DJ Appearance

Hertz Outfit

44 Hertz Outfit

Characters Biggest Strength: Often able to bring people together, people, heroes or villains due to his influence on the underground scene.

Characters Biggest Weakness: His apathetic nature to many things leads him to caring far less about something than he should, regardless of the consequences.

Motivations and Desires

Primary Goal: Hertz only goal is to be able to provide for his sister and niece, while also chasing his dream of becoming a world famous DJ and producer with his music.


Secondary Goal: In order to fully provide for his family through his music, while still being able to spend money for the proper equipment and club upkeep as a musician and DJ, he often takes on hits and operations to help fund it with the Hertz suits he created with the help of his mentor, Professor Decans.

Fears: Often when he's heavily outnumbered, facing people with Superior Firepower and more often than not, if his family or friends life is in danger. Another thing that usually terrifies him, is the possibility of total failure which in his past nearly led to him giving up completely.

Powers

Primary Source of Powers: Hertz has access to a host of technology available to him, being a engineering and science prodigy with the help of his late friend Professor Decans. He's managed to build two highly advanced suits with the 44 version having more versatility albeit being weaker than the normal Hertz suit. He also has skills in Wrestling, Pankration, Krav maga and Jujutsu. Which has given him a varied range of skills in hand to hand combat.


• Painkranktion:
  Effects: Hertz will deploy a small drone that within its immediate radius of 50-100 feet depending on one's sense of hearing will release a continuous signal of painful ringing and 2-3 second intervals of sound waves to immobilize or knock an enemy out.
  
  Weaknesses: One can create a device or use a power to keep sound waves from entering their ears or be death. Of course if you have the chance you can also destroy the drone if you have the chance, a skilled marksman or medium ranged AOE power has the possibility of destroying it.
  
• Superior Strength, Speed & Stamina:
  Effects: With both suits they increase Hertz strength, speed & stamina to that of a superior level, above peak human levels but less than super srength, speed or stamina itself. With both suits he can lift at least 5 tons but less than 10 tons. He can fight several hours longer than most humans are capable for longer missions and he can run between 45-60 miles per hour depending on how hard he pushes himself.
  
  Weaknesses: Although he's capable of these feats, overuse can overextend and damaged his ligaments and muscles and isn't advised for prolonged periods of time. Additionally outside of his suits themselves, he rests within or below peak human levels.
  
  Equipment: Advanced suits and gadgets for multiple uses, namely bounties or assassinations. Among them, innumerable pistols, rifles, sniper rifle, grenades and one or two missile launchers. Often he uses the clear markets weapons, or tests prototypes from prospective companies not having created his own yet.

Background

Occupation: He currently DJ’s at a local club which he co-owns while he nets pretty good profits, club upkeep costs are also an issue which led to him becoming Hertz to fulfill contracts and bounties to better pay for his equipment, gadgets, club and family.

Training and Education: Hertz got his wrestling and Pankration training while in Middle and High School form his coach, who used to be an instructor in Sparta and Athens Greece. It took over 7 years to learn the skills he has now. Despite that, for 3 years while training for freelance contract work before he was 20 they were taught the basics of Jujutsu and Pankration. Since then he's been training himself and learning from experience in combat itself.

Things any characters might know about them: He comes from Detroit, although he seems to be able to travel between universes based off descriptions of the Detroit he inhabits and it's possible he works for a company involved with inter dimensional bounties or crime. Despite that, he's known not to take assassinations on kids or pregnant women, but has no qualms with abduction or capture of these individuals. Other than that, it's only known he had brief contact and relationship with the late Professor Decan.

Group Affiliations: The only true affiliation he's known to have with is the club he works at as a DJ as EUNIQE, which he often donates to and spends time at after a job, the club name itself is called Motown Pulse. Other than that, it's only known that he takes jobs from a wide range of people, namely Governments and Criminal Organizations alike.

History and Bibliography: Hertz, otherwise known as Patrick grew up in a futuristic and Cyberpunk reality of Detroit. Which had access to multiple universes, through what the Government of the sua at the time called, a “Rift Gate”, but anyone else would call teleportation gate. This often led to many field trips and adventures for science classes into other universes or dimensions that were allowed by the school board. Despite this, Patrick lived in what most would call the slums. In order to stay away from crime he got involved in sports and engineering in Middle School, where he'd begin to pick up the skills he currently has.

Despite this, he was never able to fully stay away from criminal activity. While he was getting into DJ’ng at a local club called Motown Pulse, Patrick would end up getting involved with some underground contacts who he'd soon call friends. After several months of shakedowns, muggings and larceny to help fund the club and feed his family Patrick would agree to help break into his college's science department for all their equipment at 17. Despite their attempts, Professor Deacon who'd held the title and name of Fader would catch them and let them go on the condition they didn't try anything again.

Despite the run in with the then hero of Detroit, Patrick would still look for who he truly was. Often progressing in his criminal activities, he'd only try to change his ways when his close friend Terry was killed in a shootout. Within that shootout itself and his attempt to leave, Fader would decide to recruit Patrick into his life to bring justice instead of crime.

Over the next 2 years Patrick, who'd initially taken the title of Decay would train with Professor Deacon (Fader) in Krav maga and Jujutsu, while the professor also helped him home his craft in engineering and science. Together they'd become a duo, reducing Detroit and it's crime to lower levels than it'd seen in decades. Despite that, when he was 19 Patrick, now Decay would face his first true opponent.

Shortly after, holding his entire family’s life over this head and in danger. Patrick, unsure what to do and terrified was out of duty for over 7 months refusing to leave at night, DJ’ng to try and pay off his father and Uncle's debt.

It wasn't until the Kingpin, who'd taken on the name Abe Baxtler discovered who Fader was and ended up killing him in a shootout and bombing at his house. After the death, Patrick would create a new suit and mantle which he called Hertz. With his new title and in anger, he'd push through the fear and while he was once one for justice decided to enforce it his own way and would begin to murder everyone in the Purple Gang from bottom to top. By the time he got to the upper level, he would end up eventually defeating Abe Baxtler the Kingpin of Detroit getting him locked away in the newly revamped Jackson Prison.

Ever since for the past 8 months he's been acting as his new identity Hertz, as a gun and mercenary for hire. His biggest contract having been to go back in time in another universe and kill the President JFK and planting the evidence on someone else. It's unkown what Patrick's current status as Hertz is, but he's been showing up to his College courses and DJ’ng as EUNIQE continually, within Detroit

Summary: Strong willed, caring, unsure, troubled, well connected

I like a lot of the character concepts and the details but there are some things that are raising some issues.
1. An age of 20 is far too young. Despite super abilities at that age it’s abit too unrealistic. I would recommend 30’s at the earliest since you’re giving some pretty big tech brains, combat brains and abilites.
2. Keep in mind he will ONLY possess the powers and skills listed in the app.
3. To making sure you understand the setting a bit, you understand your character is a criminal given the rules of vigilante justice and will likely be high on the FBI’s most wanted list. It is highly unlikely he will be hired by the government unless he submits to joining one of their branches.
4. I’m going to ask that you MAX out at 5 tons. That is the ability to lift two elephants something very few machines on earth can do much less ones which such a tiny frame.
5. Outside of the suits he cannot have Peak Human anything. Peak human cannot be gotten expect through Olympic level training (Read as decades of practice), or enhancement. So outside the suits he as strong as a person his age can be.
6. You have listed “Suits and Gadgets”, I know what the suits do but because you have not mentioned any gadgets besides the pain sound drone I’m going to assume that’s it. You need to list all items he has that could be used in combat or serious story way.
7. Also keep in mind the City thread takes place in NYC and so things in Chicago will not work. So you may want to think.
8. There is no future in this setting where multiverse travel has been standardized to such a degree. The idea that he would pick up so many skills simply in middle school is also not really going to work.
9. The character has not received a contract to go back in time and kill JFK sorry.
10. Your character must be station in THIS universe so that whole thing won’t work.

I think a lot of the concepts are good but the character is simply too strong for their age and needs a bit of tune up. Also please try to read over the threads a bit more to get a sense of exactly what the vibe and tone are because I think your character is a bit more sci-fi than will suit them. If you make those changes I can offer some more advice but don't be discouraged theirs a lot of good things here that I really like and think would be lovely.

I think the vector manipulation is good. Just to be clear he couldn't say redirect a bullet because of the 1-2 minute rule and the fact that he needs to be touching it correct?

Also I'm a bit worried about the Function conversion. The function conversion doesn't make him smarter, it just makes him more focused or allows him to become more emotional or artistic after a bit. He's not altering his intellegence just his method of thinking. Correct?

Summary: Confused and desperate, but decisive.

I think the vector manipulation is good. Just to be clear he couldn't say redirect a bullet because of the 1-2 minute rule and the fact that he needs to be touching it correct?

Also I'm a bit worried about the Function conversion. The function conversion doesn't make him smarter, it just makes him more focused or allows him to become more emotional or artistic after a bit. He's not altering his intellegence just his method of thinking. Correct?

For all intents and purposes the only reason I put the function in there in the first place was so that I could have a more viable weakness for him. Think of it as a gear shift rather than changing anything and that, after that gear shift, he can use his power. The focus of his mind shifts from having logic and emotions, to solely having logic and calculating. He doesn't have to do the shift every single time he wants to move something, but more like until he releases his focus he can use it freely.

And correct, although with the description above I hope I would be able to get him to deflect bullets at least or else he could just get shot and that be the end of him. He wouldn't be able to adjust where it goes, and it would probably hurt about as much as getting shot by a rubber bullet if he manages to activate his power beforehand.

Should have a post up tomorrow.
