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.


Depends on what they are.

No limit. Although fewer is better its always nice to condense powers.

    Hero, Villain or Neutral: Neutral
    Gender: Male
    Age: 461
    Species: Human
    Apperance: (URL or description please)
    [b]Characters Biggest Strength:
    His healing factor, after living so long he’s able to read emotions very, very well, good with cocktails
    Characters Biggest Weakness: Bit of a drunk, trusts the Harlem gangs a little too much, isn’t too afraid of the NYC mafia’s

Motivations and Desires
    Primary Goal: To protect the location of the Fountain of Youth
    Secondary Goal: Keep on the downlow, specifically keep off the Illuminati’s and the S.S’s radar
    Fears: 1. Someone finding the Fountain of Youth, 2. Getting attached to someone (again), 3. Losing his bar

Powers
    Primary Source of Powers: The Fountain of Youth
  • Power 1: Immortality
    Effects: Healing Factor
    Weaknesses: Can still feel pain, let's say someone had him tied down and is continually dousing him in phosphorus his regenerative power will be constantly working to repair him and will keep him in a continual loop of regeneration leaving him incapacitated and in a constant state of immense pain. He could be killed by some magic plot spell or something idk we’ll see how that plays out.
  • Power 2: Immortality
    Effects: Does not age
    Weaknesses: Traumatization from all the horrible things he’s seen
    Equipment: silver coloured Ruger mkii pistol with wood finish, 1800s military grade kukri, flask

Background
    Occupation: Owner of The Blackwell Buffer Tavern in Harlem
    Training and Education: Homeschooled 1561 - 1578, Oxford University 1603 - 1611.
    Things any characters might know about them: Owner of the Blackwell Buffer, on the bar's Facebook and Twitter accounts he is listed as a Mutant, posted age is 24, posted birthplace Sydney, Australia.
    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

Gods Among Us
Character Application



Character Description
    Given Name: Rachael Isabella
    Alternate Identities: 'Devil Bitch'
    Hero, Villian or Neutral: Villain
    Gender: Female
    Age: 200~
    Species: Human
    Apperance: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/36/ca/59 ... 49def9.jpg (Excluding armor)
    Characters Biggest Strength: With almost a century of life, she has mastered the trade of manipulation and reading people's emotions.
    Characters Biggest Weakness: General paranoia causes some problems in her line of work, along with the fact that shes a woman so most don't really respect her at first glance.

Motivations and Desires
    Primary Goal: Find a solution to the curse brought upon her.
    Secondary Goal: Take out all those that either oppose her or are dead weight to her, and acquire the trust of many influential figures
    Fears: Guns, Death, Emotional attachment or any sort of attachment in general

Powers
    Primary Source of Powers: Magic, skills and training
  • Power 1: Demonic Physiology
    Effects: This power allows her to change certain parts of her body, mainly her left arm, into that of a demon although it is painful, and as such chooses another method where she fuses with the arm. When it is fused into an arm, it has a more jagged appearance, the fingers ending at sharp points along with a useless extension resembling the curve of a blade. Due to the fact that it is demonic, it will feel like a regular arm to her, but due to the extension it adds some weight of about half a kilogram to her hand. And due to the fact that the arm is used by generating a blade which first wraps around the arm before extending out, it can only extend a maximum of 50 cm after it is released. When at a height advantage, the arm will cause the additional weight to hasten her descend, which makes it suitable for smashing things in.

    Weaknesses: Due to the obvious origin of where this power came from, light and holy magic can immediately stop it, disable her arm for a set period of time, and even weaken her completely. Along with that, she has to ensure that the extension isn't broken off as it will hurt like hell due to it being connected, which will slightly distract her. If her arm is sliced off, it will cause her physical arm to be cut off as well, which means that she can only have a left arm when using her powers. Not only that, it takes roughly 10 seconds for the blade and extension to fully materialize, as if she did not wait and dove immediately, when the extension materialized it could get stuck in something.
  • Power 2: Darkness solidification
    Effects: From shadows, including that of her own, she is able to create weapons that are solid. Generally these weapons weigh almost nothing, and take roughly half a minute to fully materialize into something. So far, the only thing she can summon is swords, but even then they're so large in numbers that fighting her in the dark would be suicide as she would merely cause a rain of swords above her enemies.
    Weaknesses: Due to the fact that it requires shadows, it is close to useless during day. As it is a power of the demon once within her, it can be defeated with light or holy magic and conventional magic to a certain extent. Of course, one problem is the amount of energy she needs to create such weapons, which makes it generally a last resort weapon for her.
    Equipment: https://tinyurl.com/ycs95dcx A blade which she generally uses in conjunction with her abilities, a Kendo mask to hide her real face

Background
    Occupation: Currently working as an accountant, living partly off her winnings from her competitions.
    Training and Education: She went to school in London, and was trained under the American Shadow Syndicate
    Things any characters might know about them: She's been in multiple kendo competitions before, and on an international scale
    Group Affiliations: American Shadow Syndicate
    History and Bibliography: Born almost a century ago, when Rachael was born in London, the demons of the shadow realm had begun to enter the human world. Although remaining in the shadows, one had broken off in the night and had possessed Rachael as a host, giving her the powers and added benefits of being a half human half demon. When she woke up, she had found that her left arm had grey and red lines spiraling across it along with a weird voice in her head. When her parents knew of this,
    the first thing they did was call for an exorcist. Although the devil was exorcised, she still retained the voices and her weird power.

    When she left her home and went onto work in society, the voice in her head began to tell her that she needed to visit a certain chapel. Although she didn't follow it at first,
    it was persistant to the point where it annoyed her day in and day out. Giving up on it, she made her way down to the chapel. The moment she stepped in, the voice stopped as she was greeted by a man who explained what had happened to her and why such things were happening to her, and how it started.

    when she listened, she was shaken to her very core. After being offered the chance of a new life that gave her a chance to restart and redo everything, she accepted without hesitation and began to follow their ways, almost being converted fully into a demon. During this time, also the industrial revolution, she was trained to summon a blade from her infected arm and the art in using it and adapted quickly with it's lightweight. During this time she was dispatched to take out some of the syndicate's enemies.

    Later on, she would acquire the 'Manacar' which was a blade forged from the demons she had once slain for the family.

    During the first world war, she would continually travel around serving as the bodyguard of important individuals, and as an assassin whenever needed by the family. During the later years she would soon be an important part of the family. Helping to take out all the other heroes that tried to oppose and take them down. Later when the industries under the family grew, so did it's influence which required her to travel all around the world where she eventually learned the art of Kendo in Japan, the starting point of her training with the sword.

    From then till now, she primarily worked as one of the elite guards in the Umbrarum manor, and just recently was given the liberty of leaving the manor and walking about as she pleases, although she still is required to work some shifts in the manor as a security guard.

Well I had several ideas, one was that the S.S, Illuminati, or some other organization gets word that I'm in possession of the source of the Fountain of Youth, then maybe the Knights try and get involved because they either think they can protect it better or want to use it themselves. Or the Italian Mafia could try and do something to the Harlem neutral zone I have set up to make themselves known again. Whichever seems most appealing to someone, I'm open to do whatever and if anyone has better ideas.

Okay that sounds great.

Shadowell would you like to do something with the mob muscling in?
ROE you have an interest in the Fountain of Youth?

Shadowwell wrote:Pl, can i know about the event you mentioned, that could perhaps lead to the Shard of Erebus Awakening?


Something of great power and terrible fury will be attacking New York City after the meeting. It will have enough ambient power to trigger quite a few meta-reactions, spread C-Cells and awaken a comatose god or two.

Kingdom of Irhk wrote:PL, a quick question:

The British have a team called the Queens Watch.
I have barely fleshed them out but will list what I have, If anyone stands out please feel free to take one of these primitive concepts and make something out of it or make something yourself.
The Queens Watch tends to be different from the Knights in many ways, chiefly that they don't allow many Meta's on the team and prefer humans when possible.
Britain doesn't give Meta's much freedom and they can expect lifetime imprisonment for the most minor of crimes and constant surveillance.
  • Wheeled Jack - Speedster with Power Armor
  • The Diamond - Can create and control Diamonds and Crystals
  • English Dogma - A powerful alien possessed by a powerful demon. The reason people stopped launching their problems into space.
  • Soverign Razor - Powered Suit creates blades out of thin air.
  • Rook - Power armor makes him the size of a house. Can survive up to 150 Kilotons. Not very offensive.
  • Discus - Tech master, can build programs and software to do almost anything
  • Doom Lord - Can send victims to a pocket dimension for 10-30 minutes. Reappear where they were. Team Leader
  • Fear Flight - Flying Power Armor. As much firepower as 3 F-22's
  • Divine - Magical. Flight, can create blasts of light that blind, deafen and cause religious fervor.
  • Dystopian - Can control time. Petrify organic and no organic materials. Defensive Armor.

Atleast that's what the description says.

Some clarification on Europe.

Many countries in Europe are struggling with Meta's right now.
There is talk of the EU running a single massive meta-team taking cues from the Knights.
But some countries like France and the British Isles want to have their own Meta's totally under their control.
Many like Germany split the difference loaning the EU heroes like the Speedster Blitz to them, but like to keep them home most of the time.

Most Meta's in Europe seem drawn to form ever more local gangs of quasi-hero and villain teams.
Never really good or evil these teams flip sides often and are defined entirely by strong local ties.
Breaking up these teams is a big issue for most governments as they can quickly turn into pseudo gang wars/guerilla insurgencies.

Not to even talk about how Russia and Iran and using their Metahumans to probe the west for weak points and see just how committed the US is to defend its allies.
It's not unheard of for the Knights to go overseas and help but without their heavy hitters (Archon, Ultrawoman, and Nevermore) they don't like to risk it.
A previous fight between the Russian team and the Knights led to far too much devastation on both sides.

We may have a story soon were the UN meets up and some of the different international heroes get a chance to meet.

Gods Among Us
Character Application



Character Description
    Given Name: Rachael Isabella
    Alternate Identities: 'Devil Bitch'
    Hero, Villian or Neutral: Villain
    Gender: Female
    Age: 100~
    Species: Human
    Apperance: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/36/ca/59 ... 49def9.jpg (Excluding armor)
    Characters Biggest Strength: With almost a century of life, she has mastered the trade of manipulation and reading people's emotions.
    Characters Biggest Weakness: General paranoia causes some problems in her line of work, along with the fact that shes a woman so most don't really respect her at first glance.

Motivations and Desires
    Primary Goal: Find a solution to the curse brought upon her
    Secondary Goal: Take out all those that either oppose her or are dead weight to her, and acquire the trust of many influential figures
    Fears: Guns, Death, Emotional attachment or any sort of attachment in general

Powers
    Primary Source of Powers: Magic
  • Power 1: Demonic Physiology
    Effects: This power allows her to change certain parts of her body, mainly her left arm, into that of a demon although it is painful, and as such chooses another method where she fuses with the arm. When it is fused into an arm, it has a more jagged appearance, the fingers ending at sharp points along with a useless extension resembling the curve of a blade. Due to the fact that it is demonic, it will feel like a regular arm to her, but due to the extension it adds some weight of about half a kilogram to her hand. And due to the fact that the arm is used by generating a blade which first wraps around the arm before extending out, it can only extend a maximum of 50 cm after it is released. When at a height advantage, the arm will cause the additional weight to hasten her descend, which makes it suitable for smashing things in.
    Weaknesses: Due to the obvious origin of where this power came from, light and holy magic can immediately stop it, disable her arm for a set period of time, and even weaken her completely. Along with that, she has to ensure that the extension isn't broken off as it will hurt like hell due to it being connected, which will slightly distract her. If her arm is sliced off, it will cause her physical arm to be cut off as well, which means that she can only have a left arm when using her powers.
  • Power 2:
    Effects: What does the power do and how does it do it? Please make reference to Range, Speed and/or Mass
    Weaknesses: What counters the power? Stops it dead in it’s tracks or causes it to fail? What limits the usage of the power? When can it not be used?
    Equipment: https://tinyurl.com/ycs95dcx A blade which she generally uses in conjunction with her abilities

Background
    Occupation: (How do they get money for houses, food and guns?)
    Training and Education: (Where did they go to school and learn what they know now.)
    Things any characters might know about them: (Things a quick google search would reveal)
    Group Affiliations:
    History and Bibliography: (How did it all come to this?)

Summary: A fragment of a devil


WIP


@People with WIP apps. Make sure you TG me when you app is done. I won't look back at it all the time so just let me know.

Something of great power and terrible fury will be attacking New York City after the meeting. It will have enough ambient power to trigger quite a few meta-reactions, spread C-Cells and awaken a comatose god or two.

Kingdom of Irhk wrote:PL, a quick question:

Are there any British Knights? I might app for one when I get my notebook back.


The British have a team called the Queens Watch.
I have barely fleshed them out but will list what I have, If anyone stands out please feel free to take one of these primitive concepts and make something out of it or make something yourself.
The Queens Watch tends to be different from the Knights in many ways, chiefly that they don't allow many Meta's on the team and prefer humans when possible.
Britain doesn't give Meta's much freedom and they can expect lifetime imprisonment for the most minor of crimes and constant surveillance.
  • Wheeled Jack - Speedster with Power Armor
  • The Diamond - Can create and control Diamonds and Crystals
  • English Dogma - A powerful alien possessed by a powerful demon. The reason people stopped launching their problems into space.
  • Soverign Razor - Powered Suit creates blades out of thin air.
  • Rook - Power armor makes him the size of a house. Can survive up to 150 Kilotons. Not very offensive.
  • Discus - Tech master, can build programs and software to do almost anything
  • Doom Lord - Can send victims to a pocket dimension for 10-30 minutes. Reappear where they were. Team Leader
  • Fear Flight - Flying Power Armor. As much firepower as 3 F-22's
  • Divine - Magical. Flight, can create blasts of light that blind, deafen and cause religious fervor.
  • Dystopian - Can control time. Petrify organic and no organic materials. Defensive Armor.


a test run in Harlem would be a good way to test the Super mooks.

Might just have to wait on finishing the app, till the incident happens for specifics.

For ease, what i might do, is have the shard have been dormant in a bloodline, then when this incident happens, the shard awakens within the body of James Williamson, who i am planning will have been possibly robbing a small store.

A nordic country like Norway could have that. But I think that in general, it would be a european team, not just one or two national ones, they'd take the more powerful ones and stick them together in a sort of absolute defense of sorts.
But again, if that's the established lore, suit yourself.

A lot of what you're saying is very true, not surprising, but there are a few things to keep in mind.
1. The Last 17 years have been radically different. Things like Slaggep have happened, the War on Terror used Meta-Humans to great effect and was infinitely more successful for it. While much of the modern world is similar these minor difference make things just different enough to have some slight variations.
2. Meta's rarely get a choice in how their government handles them. This is a world where Vigilantism is frequently a crime punishable by death. In France an independent vigilante organization would be branded a terrorist group and hunted down accordingly. Heroes don't get to decide how they operate, the government does. Even if the populace is anti-government and nihilistic that doesn't mean the government is just gonna let heroes act how they like. They will have control even if they have to fight a war in the streets for it.
3. A lot of what you described is also true. Like I said "Most Meta's in Europe seem drawn to form ever more local gangs of quasi-hero and villain teams. Never really good or evil these teams flip sides often and are defined entirely by strong local ties," Which is very similar to what you predicted.

Don't think you saw my edit,

I was originally going to have the body have been made by the Shard as a shell for the Shard, but unless i can make the BIo about how the shard came about and such, I might have to change the plan.

The changed plan would be that the shard was seperated long ago, and placed into a mortal bloodline. And when this incident ahppens the seal on Erebus weakens and the Shards connection to Erebus is renewed or reopened, bringing about a change, in the last member of the bloodline, James Williamson. It is this or the abvoe,a re the only ways i can think of having a functional bio, with an amnesiac character that is essentially a piece of a god.


Also, does Giovanni have the authority to take the Super Mooks out, or will I or you have to have one of the others have that order be given or such.

Will work ona post for Gio soon then.

But would the overview of how the shad came about be better or the shard in teh bloodline. I am tryign to keep this lore friendly, but there isnt really much lore to be used in certain regards.

Frankly, I'd argue that bit.

France in general has had a history of for coups and impeachments if the president wasn't good enough. Even if the last 17 years have been different, I don't think France would've changed much from their anti government population, lack of patriotism and overall general power over the government itself.
It's not like the US where you'll go for some walks in the streets and say you're not happy with it. Here it can go south really damn fast and recently it's been going south even faster. With Metas, I think that effect would essentially be tenfold due to public unease.

Not to mention that if a meta wants to go vigilante, they'll likely do it in a very spider man/batman fashion and pick their targets out to draw some attention while still have an escape option secure.
Added to that, France's police is considerably weaker in certain cities, those cities would be havens of general vigilantism that nobody would be able to deal with due to overall lack of tech.

I think France in general wouldn't be able to handle its metas. At all.
It doesn't have the funds, nor the means, or the ability. That said, most of the vigilantes, while working against the government would still do the police's undone jobs.

There's also the fact that there's much less crime in France than in the US, and that most french crime is situated in Paris and Marseille.
Those two would be the bastions of vigilantism by the sheer concentration of metas duking it out on the street every day.
