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)

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.

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?

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.

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.

That might actually serve for an idea I have about a character. I'll send you a TG.

[Vanquaria]

perfect time to join?

[Primordial Luxa]

perfect time to join?

New IC thead! Fresh start, reorganized teams.
Basically, the new thread is focusing on the superhero team the Knights of America and they are having a meeting to decide who's going to be on which regional and city teams.
So if you wanted to join it's basically a big meet and greet as people get picked for teams.
Perfect.

Character Description

Given Name: Dirk Harkenby
Alternate Identities: Freelancer
Hero, Villian or Neutral: Neutral
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Species: Human
Apperance: Black hair cut into a mohawk, brown eyes, olive skin, 6'2", moderate comeliness
Characters Biggest Strength: Dirk is extremely resourceful. Also loves a challenge.
Characters Biggest Weakness: Directionless

Motivations and Desires

Primary Goal: Finding and overcoming great challenges, wealth, recruiting his own team of metas to form the world's best mercenary band
Secondary Goal: Fulfilling contracts, expanding reputation (in the mercenary/underworld community)
Fears: Chemical Weapons

Powers

Primary Source of Powers: Meta-Gene, Skill and Training

• Power 1: Enhanced Physiology
  Effects: Dirk is in superb physical condition in terms of strength, reflexes, agility and endurance. All these things are at or around the peak a human with excellent genetics can achieve. For example, he can run as fast as an Olympic sprinter but no more than that. Further he has 20/10 vision, excellent hearing and sense of smell (again, for a human). He is a significantly more durable to blunt trauma. A right hook that would normally break a jaw is something he can shrug off (though it still does damage and cause pain). A definite knockout strike will have him a bit dazed. But he wouldn't survive being hit by a bus or a fall from 14 stories high. Dirk has accelerated healing, able to recover from injuries in a matter of days what would normally take weeks or months. Although if the injuries normally require medical treatment to heal, then it is required for Dirk too. Like resetting a bone or having a bullet pulled out of him. The recovery process after that is then accelerated. Finally a strong constitution makes him highly resistant to poison and disease.
  Weaknesses:
  -Requires an incredibly high calorie diet. He'll weaken significantly if his diet isn't maintained.
  -His healing process requires a hibernation state, putting him to sleep for days or however long it takes to recover.
  
• Power 2: Special Operations Mastery
  Effects: This is a mastery in a variety of skills acquired through training and experience. It includes expertise in martial arts, firearms, vehicle operation, infantry tactics, demolitions, infiltration, sabotage and unconventional warfare. He has the skills an elite special forces veteran would have.
  Weaknesses: For one, this usually requires equipment to be effective. So that depends on their availability, preparation and intelligence to determine what equipment is necessary. Skills must be constantly honed as well.
  Equipment: This depends on the mission at hand. Dirk uses his black market contacts to get various weaponry and gadgets. For the most part his typical armament includes:
  -Firearms
  -Explosives
  -Knives
  -Rope
  -Optics (Night Vision goggles)
  
  Other Weaknesses: Dirk lacks knowledge in things magical and the occult.

Redacted (Players with the highest clearance can know he was there but the entire record is redacted)

Group Affiliations: For the moment, himself.
History and Bibliography:

Dirk was always exceptional as an athlete from a young age. He could run faster, jump higher and never tired compared to the other boys at school. Of course, this was because of his meta-gene. A thing he was simply born with. To fit in, he played down the extent of his abilities and even then still excelled. Dirk played every sport he could to release his boundless energy. As soon as he could, he joined the military to give him the physical life that he craved.

Due to his abilities his military career was exceptional. He saw himself deployed to a various conflicts around the globe and was decorated for valor on several occasions. It did not take long for the brass to find out that indeed Dirk was a meta-human. It was decided that his abilities would be put to better use. The path he was on took him to the CIA Special Activities Division where he performed many unsavory deeds. Dirk has seen much of the world, just not the nice parts. He entered the service as a patriot. The end result of his experiences left him with a callous demeanor and amoral attitude. Eventually, Dirk decided to strike out on his own, leaving the service to pursue his own ambitions for wealth and accomplishment.

At first this was being employed with various private military companies. The money was better but the work grew stale quickly. Dirk spent 2 years floating from firm to firm. This was not all worthless endeavor as he was able to develop a reputation as an extremely effective gun-for-hire. Eventually this allowed him to go independent, taking on contracts of his choosing giving him the nickname "Freelancer" in the mercenary market. Sometimes this put him on the other side of the world's "heroes" gaining him a bit of notoriety too. Being clever, Dirk always made sure to take government contracts from various nations and intelligence agencies (including his old employers, the CIA) from time to time. Even if it paid less, it has kept him off the wanted list by remaining an asset.

By reputation, Dirk is considered extremely reliable once a contract has been agreed upon. In that time an employer can be certain that Dirk will execute its terms. But once the contract has been fulfilled, he may just as easily take the next one for your enemies. It's not personal, just business for at heart he truly is a mercenary. His only loyalty is to the contract. Currently Dirk is a free agent and negotiating a contract with the Knights of America. This may cause some tension as he has done jobs for the SS, Mafia and other objectionable organizations in the past (with your permission because its a nice bit of backstory and could add drama in the group). Taking on Dirk is a wise idea for the Knights for Dirk will certainly be on someone's payroll. Better it be Knights rather than their adversaries.

Summary: Former Black Ops Freelance Mercenary

It's looks great and I would accept it. But one thing, if you want the Knights to try and recruit him you may want to increase his powers a great deal, he's good but they would be more attracted to a heavy hitter.

When at a height advantage, the arm will cause the additional weight to hasten her descend, which makes it suitable for smashing things in.

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.

WIP

Is this still WIP? I'll accept it but make sure it's good with Flutterland who runs the Syndicate

[Shadowwell]

Have the Gods of Earth always existed, or did they only begin when their initial believers thought of them?

[Primordial Luxa]

Have the Gods of Earth always existed, or did they only begin when their initial believers thought of them?

Both and neither, is the correct answer. The GOE's were created when humans thought them up, but because the Dreamland's doesn't flow the same way as "our" time they have existed longer than humanity and before. Imagine being born during your lifetime. Yeah but hey it's dreams.

So even though the Greeks thought up Zeus and gave him life, he could have existed long before the Greeks were even a thing.

By Dreamland Logic, if Filia were to dream about Pitch Black, would he invade her?

History and Bibliography:

Dirk was always exceptional as an athlete from a young age. He could run faster, jump higher and never tired compared to the other boys at school. Of course, this was because of his meta-gene. A thing he was simply born with. To fit in, he played down the extent of his abilities and even then still excelled. Dirk played every sport he could to release his boundless energy. As soon as he could, he joined the military to give him the physical life that he craved.

Due to his abilities his military career was exceptional. He saw himself deployed to a various conflicts around the globe and was decorated for valor on several occasions. It did not take long for the brass to find out that indeed Dirk was a meta-human. It was decided that his abilities would be put to better use. The path he was on took him to the CIA Special Activities Division where he performed many unsavory deeds. Dirk has seen much of the world, just not the nice parts. He entered the service as a patriot. The end result of his experiences left him with a callous demeanor and amoral attitude. Eventually, Dirk decided to strike out on his own, leaving the service to pursue his own ambitions for wealth and accomplishment.

At first this was being employed with various private military companies. The money was better but the work grew stale quickly. Dirk spent 2 years floating from firm to firm. This was not all worthless endeavor as he was able to develop a reputation as an extremely effective gun-for-hire. Eventually this allowed him to go independent, taking on contracts of his choosing giving him the nickname "Freelancer" in the mercenary market. Sometimes this put him on the other side of the world's "heroes" gaining him a bit of notoriety too. Being clever, Dirk always made sure to take government contracts from various nations and intelligence agencies (including his old employers, the CIA) from time to time. Even if it paid less, it has kept him off the wanted list by remaining an asset.

By reputation, Dirk is considered extremely reliable once a contract has been agreed upon. In that time an employer can be certain that Dirk will execute its terms. But once the contract has been fulfilled, he may just as easily take the next one for your enemies. It's not personal, just business for at heart he truly is a mercenary. His only loyalty is to the contract. Currently Dirk is a free agent and negotiating a contract with the Knights of America. This may cause some tension as he has done jobs for the SS, Mafia and other objectionable organizations in the past (with your permission because its a nice bit of backstory and could add drama in the group). Taking on Dirk is a wise idea for the Knights for Dirk will certainly be on someone's payroll. Better it be Knights rather than their adversaries.

Summary: Former Black Ops Freelance Mercenary

It's looks great and I would accept it. But one thing, if you want the Knights to try and recruit him you may want to increase his powers a great deal, he's good but they would be more attracted to a heavy hitter.

Oh? And here I was afraid I may have made him too powerful. If you say so....

Character Description

Given Name: Dirk Harkenby
Alternate Identities: Freelancer
Hero, Villian or Neutral: Neutral
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Species: Human
Apperance: Black hair cut into a mohawk, brown eyes, olive skin, 6'2", moderate comeliness
Characters Biggest Strength: Dirk is extremely resourceful. Also loves a challenge.
Characters Biggest Weakness: Directionless

Motivations and Desires

Primary Goal: Finding and overcoming great challenges, wealth, recruiting his own team of metas to form the world's best mercenary band
Secondary Goal: Fulfilling contracts, expanding reputation (in the mercenary/underworld community)
Fears: Chemical Weapons

Powers

Primary Source of Powers: Meta-Gene, Skill and Training

• Power 1: Enhanced Physiology
  Effects: Dirk is in superb physical condition in terms of strength, reflexes, agility and endurance. All these things are far above what a human in peak physical condition can achieve. For example, he can run twice as fast as an Olympic sprinter. High muscle density makes him far stronger than his physique (which is damn good) would have you believe. Dirk's strength cannot lift cars over his head but he can tip them over. Any sign of fatigue requires extreme and prolonged exertion that would end up killing normal humans or at least driving them unconscious. Further he has 20/5 vision, excellent hearing and sense of smell. Probably the most beneficial trait he has is his uncanny reflexes, as if he were able to predict incoming threats rather than react to them. He is a significantly more durable to blunt trauma. A sledge hammer to the face is something he can shrug off but would leave a bruise. Being hit by a bus or falling 14 stories would seriously injure but not kill him. Dirk has accelerated healing, able to recover from injuries in a matter of days what would normally take weeks or months and not necessarily requiring medical treatment. He will always heal to prime condition unless killed (no lingering injuries or scars) and even regrow appendages. A strong constitution makes him highly resistant to poison and disease. Finally, his enhanced physiology has increased his lifespan by 40-50 years compared to that of an average human. Not that Dirk plans to die of old age.
  
  Weaknesses:
  -Requires an incredibly high calorie diet. He'll weaken significantly if his diet isn't maintained.
  -His healing process requires a hibernation state, putting him to sleep for days or however long it takes to recover.
  
• Power 2: Special Operations Mastery
  Effects: This is a mastery in a variety of skills acquired through training and experience. It includes expertise in martial arts, firearms, vehicle operation, infantry tactics, demolitions, infiltration, sabotage and unconventional warfare. He has the skills an elite special forces veteran would have.
  Weaknesses: For one, this usually requires equipment to be effective. So that depends on their availability, preparation and intelligence to determine what equipment is necessary. Skills must be constantly honed as well.
  Equipment: This depends on the mission at hand. Dirk uses his black market contacts to get various weaponry and gadgets. For the most part his typical armament includes:
  -Firearms
  -Explosives
  -Knives
  -Rope
  -Optics (Night Vision goggles)
  
  Other Weaknesses: Dirk lacks knowledge in things magical and the occult.

Group Affiliations: For the moment, himself.
History and Bibliography:

Dirk was always exceptional as an athlete from a young age. He could run faster, jump higher and never tired compared to the other boys at school. Of course, this was because of his meta-gene. A thing he was simply born with. To fit in, he played down the extent of his abilities and even then still excelled. Dirk played every sport he could to release his boundless energy. As soon as he could, he joined the military to give him the physical life that he craved.

Due to his abilities his military career was exceptional. He saw himself deployed to a various conflicts around the globe and was decorated for valor on several occasions. It did not take long for the brass to find out that indeed Dirk was a meta-human. It was decided that his abilities would be put to better use. The path he was on took him to the CIA Special Activities Division where he performed many unsavory deeds. Dirk has seen much of the world, just not the nice parts. He entered the service as a patriot. The end result of his experiences left him with a callous demeanor and amoral attitude. Eventually, Dirk decided to strike out on his own, leaving the service to pursue his own ambitions for wealth and accomplishment.

At first this was being employed with various private military companies. The money was better but the work grew stale quickly. Dirk spent 2 years floating from firm to firm. This was not all worthless endeavor as he was able to develop a reputation as an extremely effective gun-for-hire. Eventually this allowed him to go independent, taking on contracts of his choosing giving him the nickname "Freelancer" in the mercenary market. Sometimes this put him on the other side of the world's "heroes" gaining him a bit of notoriety too. Being clever, Dirk always made sure to take government contracts from various nations and intelligence agencies (including his old employers, the CIA) from time to time. Even if it paid less, it has kept him off the wanted list by remaining an asset.

By reputation, Dirk is considered extremely reliable once a contract has been agreed upon. In that time an employer can be certain that Dirk will execute its terms. But once the contract has been fulfilled, he may just as easily take the next one for your enemies. It's not personal, just business for at heart he truly is a mercenary. His only loyalty is to the contract. Currently Dirk is a free agent and negotiating a contract with the Knights of America. This may cause some tension as he has done jobs for the SS, Mafia and other objectionable organizations in the past (with your permission because its a nice bit of backstory and could add drama in the group). Taking on Dirk is a wise idea for the Knights for Dirk will certainly be on someone's payroll. Better it be Knights rather than their adversaries.

Summary: Former Black Ops Freelance Mercenary

Alright, slightly increased powers. I prefer to not be that powerful. Forces me to RP being resourceful and clever. Thats what really makes him a heavy hitter. Think of him as a Deathstroke type character.

[Shadowwell]

James Williamson, is not entirely done, but would like it to eb looked at, for pwoers and bio.

[Higher Japan]

So what is essentially going on right now, and how heavily guarded is the knight's fortress (Hoping to break in and run out because screw that shit)

[The Flutterlands]

Almost done with post but I got to go to church. Should I have Raph kicking the ball, or just him watching J.J and Joseph?

[The Flutterlands]

Also, I did not know that there was a new thread. Do I join that the Knights and Freaks one?

[Whalestron]

Oh shoot, it's up already?

[Primordial Luxa]

It was up several days ago. I posted about it and even put in a link. Check the first post. Should be a link there.

[Primordial Luxa]

Both and neither, is the correct answer. The GOE's were created when humans thought them up, but because the Dreamland's doesn't flow the same way as "our" time they have existed longer than humanity and before. Imagine being born during your lifetime. Yeah but hey it's dreams.

So even though the Greeks thought up Zeus and gave him life, he could have existed long before the Greeks were even a thing.

By Dreamland Logic, if Filia were to dream about Pitch Black, would he invade her?

No.
1. Pitch Black isn't in the Dreamlands
2. You can only dream about things before you get to the Dreamlands. Once you enter the dreamlands your consciousness has no effect on what you dream. You're just seeing an alternate universe.
3. Things in Light Sleep (as the before Dreamland area is called) are not the real things, they are just normal dreams.

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.
Apperance: tbd
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.

Motivations and Desires

Primary Goal: To find out his past and origins
Secondary Goal: Gain power and prestige
Fears: I really don't know what to put here

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 the soul 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.

Summary: The Shard of a God

Powers are acceptable just don't go overboard.

So what is essentially going on right now, and how heavily guarded is the knight's fortress (Hoping to break in and run out because screw that shit)

The Knights fortress has the automated systems and a pair of the Knights personal Meta-Hunters.
There is also NUMB who is no slouch. Would be a fairly balanced fight if you attacked but don't expect to cause a massive amount of damage.

Almost done with post but I got to go to church. Should I have Raph kicking the ball, or just him watching J.J and Joseph?

Whatever you like. Its your choice.

Also, I did not know that there was a new thread. Do I join that the Knights and Freaks one?

Yes. Snake Eyes is at the meeting described in my first post.

[The Flutterlands]

Also, I did not know that there was a new thread. Do I join that the Knights and Freaks one?

How much time has passed?

[Primordial Luxa]

How much time has passed?

A month.

To start, he won't have full control of what abilities he does have, after i edit in some appropriate fears, and other stuff, he will be done.

So what happened during and after the rest of Diz's fight with Drake?

[Primordial Luxa]

So what happened during and after the rest of Diz's fight with Drake?

Diz fought Hardheart to a standstill while Drake escaped.
Then Hardheart fled.
He went back to the Knights and they offered him a position. If he accepted then he's been working with them since.
