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

[Remnants of Exilvania]

Yes, indeed that is the one.
And he still looks like D. Trump in supervillain form.
Plottwist: He is Donald Trump!

That's silly. Archons a hero, I mean just look at those totally heroic paragon of good glowing red eyes. Villians don't have those.

Indeed.

I thought of a character, that could be possible.
(Find it kind of sad, that nearly all my characters here are not so good guys)
Anyways, the character, would in all actually be a piece of the soul, of a God of Earth, Erebus, the Primordial Greek god of Darkness and Shadows. He would be a piece of the god, in essence. The character would be weaker, than the original version i had in the first GAU, and would be an amnesiac, just waking up somewhere, or having recently woken up.

I do not know enough about the current GAU lore, to know whether the entire idea i have, would work. I am also not seeing anything against it in the LOre here, but that lore is lacking specifics, but anyways, would the above concept be possible, perhaps.

[True Christopia]

So is the City thread now defunct? I'm guessing Charlie'll be apart of the NYC branch, if the NYMD are going to become that. Makes the most sense. Although I'm not too bothered where he goes, he's still rather new in terms of development. Anywhere he could get the most would be best, really.

Oh yeah that is totally possible. What part seemed lacking? We have a clear explanation that Gods of Earth can be played so long as they are weakened a bit.

Bingo. Serah's not sure if they will merge yet but I think it would be a good move. Calamity and Gallahad will talk and figure stuff out. I promise whatever happens your character will remain.

not much info about the jailers.

But what i was going to go with is centuries or millenia ago, Erebus was sealed on Earth, in a monument or such, then due to recent events the things sealing him in was damaged,a dn part of his power/soul was able to escape, and either a body was formed from shadows, or a suitable body was found, one of the two, then go from there.

As of yet, i am not sure, whether the character will have awoken previously, or in the first post.

Alrighty, sounds good. Will the groups mix? Or will they mostly be seperate, having their own arcs?

They will mostly be separate but there will likely be occasional overlap. If you want more or less overlap we should be able to ensure you either meet all the characters you like or don't. So just let me know.

Oh the Jailers. Yeah their vague for a reason. All you need to know is that if they sense a GOE they will try to capture it. But if your just using a shard then it should fly under the radar fine.

I'll leave it up to you but we will have a few events soon that will have the power to awaken something like him if you like.

I wouldn't mind a bit of overlap. Considering as far as I know, it's bassically me and Serah in the NYMD - mixing with the rest of the RP wouldn't be bad

That would work, might get the app up soon.

Will have to dig through the old thread, to find what i need.

[Remnants of Exilvania]

Now I need to start thinking about some great doomsday masterplan, requiring massive amounts of unique setpieces to keep things busy.
Sounds fun.

[Shadowwell]

Would I list his powers under Shadow and DArkness manipulation, as a whole, then go into detail, or list each of the sub powers and such as a power unto itself?

Depends on how broad your thinking. Manipulation implies just controlling and shaping. Like an elementalist in Avatar. If it adds things like teleportation or super strength then those should be separate. Every big effect should be its own thing. A person should be able to look and see "okay. Going to be some shadow armor, a bit of sight manipulation and weapons made of magic darkness." It should be easy if someone just wants to check what your doing is legal.

Well, everything will be related to darkness and shadows.

Travelling through shadows, shadow empowerment, a healing factor while in shadows, accessing a pocket dimension of sorts, eventually, using darkness and shadows as a medium.

I will most likely have Shadow/Darkness manipulation and then the associated powers.

Is my post good, Lux? I hope it is good.

[The Peoples Republic of Pacifica]

Hi new guy interested in joining here, for my characters backstory I'm wondering if the Fountain of Youth exists in this universe. Long story short my character is the son of a sea explorer who drinks from the fountain at age 23 in 1580, he's just a normal guy but with Wolverines healing factor or something like that. I can adjust it if need be.

[Primordial Luxa]

Is my post good, Lux? I hope it is good.

Looks great. Will respond when able. Excited about it.

We've never specified the Fountain of Youth exists but I don't see why not. So long as the location isn't easy to get to and the ability cannot be easily replicated it sounds perfectly fine.

Character Application

Character Description

Given Name: James Williamson
Alternate Identities: Shade
Hero, Villian or Neutral: Villain, or eventually one
Gender: male
Age: the body is in its 20's.
Species: Godling, Shard of a God of Earth, etc, looks human but for his eyes.
Appearance: He stands just over 6 feet in height, with a lanky yet athletic and toned build. He has short black hair, that usually is uncombed and sticks up in spikes here and there. All in all he looks human, but his eyes are normally a pale bluish white, specked with black, and when he uses his pwers, they become entirely black, orbs of darkness that seem to suck light in.
Characters Biggest Strength: He has sharp senses, and despite his lack of eyesight and amnesia, is rather intuitive.
Characters Biggest Weakness: He is effectively blind, though it is offset a bit by his powers. He also lacks knowledge of common and recent events, in most cases. He lacks real control of his powers and abilities currently.

Motivations and Desires

Primary Goal: To find out his past and origins
Secondary Goal: Gain power and prestige
Fears: Has an instinctual fear of being imprisoned, also a mild case of claustrophobia.

Powers

Primary Source of Powers: Magic

• Power 1: Shadow and Darkness Manipulation
  Effects: He can manipulate Darkness and Shadows, this includes solidifying them and shaping them into multiple forms. He can nearly freely generate and shape darkness, but in limited amounts. Some constructs he creates can have a limited sentience and intelligence. He can 'see' through shadows, and can mentally sense their positions and such. He can mark a shadow, and is then able to sense it, can also mark a physical item, and sense its shadow. his shadows and darkness move as fast as thought, if not faster, generally. Though he can condense and strengthen shadows and darkness, generally they are as strong as iron or carbon-steel. Its strength may increase depending upon its shape and such.
  Weaknesses: He can't manipulate shadows while direct sunlight, normal light will weaken his constructs. He can only control shadows within 15 feet of himself, and can only control either a large mass of darkness, or a few constructs. any tendrils or items he creates, can be easily broken by those with exceedingly above average strength, and those with only average strength during the day.
  
• Power 2: Darkness Healing
  Effects: While entirely inside darkness or shadows he heals faster, and during the night he can absorb darkness and heal himself nearly instantly.
  Weaknesses: Light based injuries or attacks take longer to heal, and he can't heal while in sunlight.
  
• Power 3: Darkness Physiology
  Effects: He is for the most part, made of shadows and darkness. This makes hims stronger when he is in shadows and darkness. This gives other effects as well, such as being able to travel as darkness or through shadows, for a limited distance, during the night it is near instantaneous. He can inhabit shadows, for a time, during this period, he is seperate from the actual world, but a part of it, when inside the shadow of a person or sentient being, he can get a glimpse of what they have recently seen or thought.
  Weaknesses: Light can damage him easily, with sunlight being more damaging to him by far. He can only travel within 500 feet of himself and to places he has been that are covered in darkness or shadow. During the day, it takes several seconds or longer to enter a shadow. Cannot stay hidden in a Shadow for long, only a half hour at most, only minutes if the shadow is in the sun or close to it. When inside a shadow, unless it is in motion, he is stuck in that position and it takes time to exit the shadow and retake his normal form.
  
• Power 4: Shadow Dimension
  Effects: He has or will have access to the Dark Space, which is a darkness pocket dimension, only he has access to, it is connected to the darkness he can travel through.
  Weaknesses: He does not know what is inside it, and can only place inanimate objects smaller than himself in it. Does not know how to actively use it.
  Equipment: All of his equipment is self made, using his abilities, or nearly all. He mostly uses his powers to create close combat weapons styled after swords and such, as well as armor.

Background

Occupation: None
Training and Education: No actual education, but he has a college level general education.
Things any characters might know about them: About Erebus? general powers and mythology, but for James, nothing.
Group Affiliations: None, yet
History and Bibliography: James Williamson, as a person, technically does not exist. The flesh is but a shell for the Shard, a piece of a God, a God of Earth specifically. Erebus, was a Greek God, one of the first Greek Gods, he was also one of the oldest Gods of Darkness. Much like many Gods of Earth he was worshiped, though he was more feared than respected, as Darkness represented in part the unknown and everything that was feared. Centuries if not millennia ago, Erebus was sealed within an object, by powerful beings. This object was eventually lost within the sands of time, before eventually being taken to New York City. There are many things based off items from ancient Greece, the Monument containing him was thought to be one such thing.

For decades if not longer it has lain dormant in one of New Yorks many museums. However, due to recent events, Erebus began to stir, and the seal on the monument he was sealed in has weakened slightly. A shard of his soul was released, and for it a Suitable shell was created. This is how James Williamson came into existence, as for what his purpose is, that has yet to be determined.

Question, Will i have to abide by the shadow darkness lore Flutterlands made, or can this be separate, since GOE-God, kind of trumps pseudo-shadow demon thing, maybe?

Filias stuff is a Dreamland faction in the Underworld.
Erebus is a GOE totally different group and all that.
No overlap unless you two want there to be any.

Group Affiliations: Is known to most street gangs in NYC as a good place to go if you aren’t picking a fight. Enforcing a neutral zone in and around his bar has raised eyebrows to a few of the mafia's though.
History and Bibliography: Born on November 8th, 1556 to a wealthy ship captain in London England, Damian was home schooled to learn how to work on his father's ship which sailed for the British Royal Navy. On June 14th, 1580 Damian and his father long with a crew of 50 sailed for the Caribbean, however on August 27th a hurricane hit sinking the ship and sending Damian adrift on debis. Days later he found himself on a small island in the middle of nowhere, it was there that he found the legendary Fountain of Youth. Thinking it was just a normal freshwater stream he drank from its waters and gained the power of eternal youth and immortality. Eventually he made a raft and miraculously made it to a Spanish port in southern Cuba and then got back to London by May of 1585. His realization that we was immortal was during the battle of Cadiz Bay in 1596 when shrapnel from a cannon ball fractured his spine. After he realized this he traveled back to the island he found the fountain on and after a while found the stream was caused by a shard of unknown mineral which he pocketed and sailed back to Europe. He did this because he knew if anyone else got a hold of it they might use it to control the world instead of enjoying it for what it was like he did.Around 1617 an unknown tragedy triggered a depression he attempted to cure by traveling the world spending time in Austria, Poland, Egypt, Russia, Persia, India, Japan, China. However it was Australia that had the lasting effect on him. In 1788 he landed in Australia on a colony ship and then promptly left and went into the wilderness for 30 years living with assorted Aboriginal tribes and wandering the Outback (he should have been killed twice for injuries sustained by trying to fight a kangaroo). He then immigrated to San Francisco in then Spanish California and traveled around North America finally settling in what is now Banff, Alberta in Canada in 1818. He then moved to Maine in 1853 where he remained till the start of the Civil War which he was drafted into and died by sniper. He fought in the battle of Somme in WWI, gassed repeatedly and expierimented on by Nazi’s in WWII. Finally he moved to NYC in the 50’s and started his bar The Blackwell Buffer, as a safe haven for people looking to escape the violent gangs terrorizing the city, forming ties with most gangs in the city and through shows of force they all agreed that the bar on West 121 Street and Manhattan would be a neutral place free of gang violence, and that is where we find Mr. Blackwell today...

Summary: Sarcastic, Sad, Kind, Brave, Cocky

I may have gone a bit overboard with the backstory, sorry if it's too much lol

[Shadowwell]

Is there a limit for number of powers?

i asked this before, I think, the reason i am asking now, is because, his abilities were going to all be under Darkness and Shadow manipulation, but that had to change.

I have three as of yet, have been able to combine one or two into one related ability, but want to check before finishing that part of the app.
