Hmm. Personally, I'd go with shrinking/growing monster man, because that's a less used power. I've seen a lot of power armors in my time, mostly ones I've played. But I've strangely never seen a size manipulator.

Coming right up! One teenager-monster man!

Could I do something like this? In a nutshell, he would suck up all the atoms necessary to shift his body in under a second, causing disastrous effects to the terrain around him (but nowhere near the effects shown in the video, which is nuclear fallout). At most, he would suck up a building, assuming he needs concrete.

Tagging the shit out of this. I've had a character concept in the back of my mind I've wanted to use for something that would be perfect for this. He's gonna be a gravity-manipulator, I assume that would fall under Psychic, but it might be Shifter, can you clarify that for me?

I'd change it to matter-eating. Basically, your character can change size up to a certain point. After that point, you start eating concrete and stuff with your monster jaws/immune system, and now you can grow.

I'd go shifter. You're changing a law of physics with gravity, not using telekinesis to move things.

Huh. I might have to change the power then, 'cause the weaknesses of Psychics are more interesting than Shifters IMO.

Fair point. You could change it to mass telekinesis if you want. The power to move heavy things/affect wide areas, but not have the finer control to, say, levitate keys to you if you were locked in a cell.

Due to his abilities that revolves around spirits and demons, he usually suffers various moodswings everyday, mutters and laughs to himself, and is very violent when fighting.

Hearing the voice of his dead mother once again, he gave her the moment for retribution. Her mother's spirit tore the physical bodies of his father and step mother. As the final touch, he jailed their souls forever in a vase and left them there to start a new life.

He started working on his own as a mortician and secretly an informant. He was quite popular within the crime syndicates of Greece who comes to him asking for information. This way of living attracted the eyes of the ECHO TEN who gave him either the option to be taken and jailed, get killed for his crimes or join their ranks. He only asked a few things for him to join the organization. Give him laughter and joy and be given the freedom to kill in the battlefield.

What if I wanted to make a magic based character, but have them be what I would call an alchemist? Like that they use magic and create potions and poisons and the like (it would likely only be this kind of magic besides a few other spells). I'm thinking alchemy, and basic electromancy?

Alchemy works, though I'm not sure you can use electricity as that's elemental. Maybe stick to general magic bolts with alchemy on top.

NAME: Suzuki Yoshimaru Watson
PREVIOUS PROFESSION: Doctor and Graduated University Student
NATIONALITY: British
GENDER: Female
ABILITY: Clairvoyance, telekinesis and the ability to manipulates dream.
ABILITY CATEGORY: Psychic Type
RANK: Corporal

AGE & DOB: 24/Sapporo, Japan, 17th August 1992
EDUCATION & OCCUPATIONAL HISTORY:

University of Oxford, Bachelor of Medical School

SKILLS:

-Skilled doctor and surgeon
-Military special forces training

EQUIPMENT:

-Medical kit
-Glock 17
-HK MP5
-Combat knife
-Walkie talkie

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: English-Japanese, 172 cm, 59 kg, short black hair.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT: While she shows herself as a happy, funny, and nice girl, she suffered from severe depression coming from the lack of free time in her training and period and uncommon meeting with her parents, who she seldom met due to her being busy with the training from Echo Ten. She hid her depression under the happy mask, but it shows sometimes. She is motivated to using her powers to protect non-metahumans, and she enjoyed using her powers sometimes to reduce her depression by reading the minds of non-metahumans and moving objects.
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS:

Her mother, Ai Kano Watson, 50, and her father, John Watson, 57. Her mother is now retired and living off quite well in United Kingdom, while her father is currently Ambassador of United Kingdom to United States of America.
BIOGRAPHY AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION:


Born in Sapporo, Suzuki is the sole daughter of her parents, her mother worked for Public Security Intelligence Agency, while her father worked as the ambassador of United Kingdom for Japan, both met when Shade decided to hit Sapporo in order to found one of their members who betrayed them in exchange for information for a private corporation who agreed for a large sum of money. Her father was in a vacation of sort, while her mother was stationed in Sapporo, they both met and fell in love during the hit, since Sapporo was forced into a city-wide lockdown where CRF and the Union of Vigilantes stepped in to fought off the Shade. They partially succeeded, at the cost of half of Sapporo being destroyed.

Her parents married and although they wanted a good life in Japan, they realized that they would be safer when they moved to Europe, they waited for Suzuki to born in Japan, as by the wish of her mother's family before permanently moved to United Kingdom. There, her mother still worked at a less-than-intensive scale in the Embassy, while her father still in Japan. When she was four, she began to sort of exhibited the psychic powers in forms of dream manipulation at first, sometimes manipulated her mother's dream to pushed her to bought something for her. Eventually a year after that, Echo Ten approached her family and since her family was already sort of rich, they decided to offered a much less financial contributions at the cost of their daughter. They reluctantly approved, noting that while she is their daughter, they are not armed or knowledgeable in the metahumans knowledge and knows little about how to train them.

She was trained on how to control her powers, manipulate dreams more, and eventually developed clairvoyance and telekinesis powers, when she reached 16. She also have been educated well and trained in military training, and it took her into severe depression considering how little of free time she had, she almost had not enough time to even entertained herself. Finally, when she was 18 she able to enrolled into Oxford in Medical School, finally giving her some form of freedom, though she still has severe depression, it has been reduced slightly. It took her 5 years to be graduated from the Oxford and she pursued surgery as her specialization. She had been part of the Echo Ten and already on the rank of Corporal.


Since I'm CO-OP, I accepted my own app.

Tag. This looks like fun and I need something to get me back in a writing mood.

A question though, would shadow be considered an element?
I believe that madness can find more madness, and that every ounce of madness has a spark of truth. And truth, as you know, has a way of depressing people who don't want to find it.

No one is 100% honest... We all keep 20% of the truth from the world, to protect ourselves & sometimes others.

NAME: Jack Quinn
PREVIOUS PROFESSION: USAF Advanced Fighter Pilot, and Navy Seal
NATIONALITY: America
GENDER: Male

-fire
-smokescreen
-flooding
-invisibility
-speed
-growth
-strength
-shrinking
-healing
-poison
This is greatly inhibited by his inability to carry more than 5 at any given point, so he must refresh himself constantly. Thus Jack has been recommended for stealth operations only.
ABILITY CATEGORY: Magic
RANK: Senior Airmen in USAF, and Senior Chief Petty Officer in USN.

AGE & DOB: Jack is 24, born January 1st, or December 30th of new years eve, 1993. The exact date of his birth is debated still, but for paperwork purposes he is born January 1st 1993.
EDUCATION & OCCUPATIONAL HISTORY: Jack's only training has been through armed services, specifically USAF, and joint operations with the USN. He has diving training, parachurting training, and served as a pilot for 6 years, as well as fighting as and with navy seals.

SKILLS: Flying aircraft, parachuting, diving, weapons, explosives, basic field medicine, and disposal
EQUIPMENT: a small sack of ingridients, and a few empty orbs, these can be used to make some 25 orbs. Jack also wears a suit similar to that of a apothecary, which filters any types of damaging material from Jack, and most toxins and biohazardous material from enemy personel. Pictured below:
(Image)
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Jack is a 6'3" Caucasian male, with scarring all over his face and chest. He has black hair and green eyes.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT: Recurring nightmares/PTSD from the incident and other events in combat. Jack is not recommended for flight. Jack is also unstable, and prone to break downs when extremely stress is removed from the situation. CAN BE MANAGED BY CERTAIN SEMI-CLOSE PERSONEL
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: None. Jack hasn't grown attatched to anyone since the incident.
BIOGRAPHY AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Jack is a USAFA graduate, who is one of the few armed service members to be in 2 branches at once. He was first born in the city of New York, and was involved in gang related crime and violence. Jack's family was unlocatable, and thus he was moved into foster care. After multiple incidents of tragic accidents with the families, Jack was finally moved onto a military base and kept there. He grew fond of everyone on it, and decided to settle down. When the offer to attend the air force academy came up, Jack accepted and was whisked away. He attended for 4 years in medical school, but has yet to earn a license. Jack returned to the base, but was given another offer which he accepted as it remained on base.

Until just recently, Jack was piloting an experimental aircraft, designed to manipulate space. It dissappeared for several seconds through a purple anomaly described as a tear, before reappearing from one on the take off strip trashed and flaming. The landing gear was out and Jack was unconscious. It slammed into a wall, and Jack has refused to fly since. Jack was found to have extreme capabilities involving chemistry and electricity from his own body. Jack was only just moved to ECHO TEN.

Both alchemy and electromancy generally fall under the magic type, you should be fine making a character like that.

Yes, control of shadows fits under magic. Same with light, as the elemental type only deals with a few specific elements.

Ahh this looks rad!

I'm roughly thinking of someone who can kind of... haunt things. So it would be a psychic who imbues a particular object with psychic energy that manifests into an entity with varying properties and form depending on the user's attachment to the object in question. These entities would be controllable in a loose sense but the more powerful ones would manifest their own perks and be generally harder to control.

It could work as a magic thing as well, but I somewhat prefer it all being a mental thing rather than supernatural in nature.

That really can work for either category, really. Just depends on the origins, if it's natural or not.

Chronon (time particle) field manipulation, which grants him the following abilities:

Chronon freeze- When Mark concentrates a chronon field around an item/person/area, he can freeze that area for a limited time. After some practicing on random objects, he has managed to hold a field for a full minute. He has also managed to do this on several objects simultaneously. However, this ability does not fully stop an object: when the field is dispersed, the object/person does not lose momentum.

Chronon rush- Mark can create a field around him self and accelerate the particles, allowing him to move through physical space faster and increase his speed. This ability only works in short bursts and requires a fair amount of concentration.

Chronon bursts- Charged chronon particles that scorch and burn objects... and people.

Chronon sense- Allows Mark to sense people and objects via distortions of chronon particles.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT:
Following is a report from Commander Marcus Alton, Hospital Corpsman/Psychologist, US Navy Medical Bureau on Chief Petty Officer Mark Akronis:

CPO Akronis is a highly intelligent individual with some minor social problems. By "problems", I mean civilian integration and relation problems. CPO Akronis, for his young age, as seen much action during his full Navy service as a Navy SEAL across the world. His involvements in Operation [REDACTED], Operation [REDACTED], Operation [REDACTED], and Operation [REDACTED] are all noted in his personnel file. These operations have left him with a disdainful view of the civilian world, seeing civilians as "soft" and "detached". This...difference....with the civilian population is largely unseen in Mark due to his civil manner and outgoing personality. However, when people begin talking about the war or insult the military or (in CPO Akronis's words "just don't get it"), CPO Akronis gets remarkably angry. These events have led to several incidents and altercations with civilians while on leave (for more information on these incidents, please refer to [REDACTED]. In the military world, however, CPO Akronis is...well... a rockstar. Several interviews conducted with fellow SEAL members and military personnel have revealed that CPO Akronis has a rather outgoing personality. He makes friends easily, and is known to be the most calm and collected member during operations.

However, CPO Akronis has held a dark secret: the secret of his metahuman status. The events of Operation [REDACTED] have finally forced his status upon him, making him a recruit for Echo-10. This will have an interesting effect on CPO Akronis, being taken out of the Navy and using a power that, while he has developed it in secret, he will now have to use on an operational basis.

Looking over his history, I see that the tragic accident involving his parents. However, there is no noticeable affect on CPO Akronis, probably because they died when he was very young For the most part (save for his metahuman status), CPO Akronis is fairly normal

OVERALL SUMMERY: There is no reason for CPO Akronis's to not be recruited, psychologically, by Echo-10 at this time. His demeanor and personality could actually, given some time and experience with Echo-10, be used in a leadership capacity and as a viable asset in recruiting/training other team members. Only time and events will see how much this changes.

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS:
- Uncle John Akronis, 67 years old. Lives in New York City, New York. Former Navy SEAL during Vietnam
- Aunt Mary Akronis, 56 years old. Married to John Akronis
- Parents are deceased
- No other living relatives

BIOGRAPHY AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Parents killed when he was just 1 year old in 1993 thanks to a drunk driver, Mark was raised by his aunt and uncle, the uncle a former career Navy SEAL during the Vietnam war.

It was during those years that his uncle instilled in Mark the discipline of a Navy SEAL. His uncle, whenever Mark had free time, put Mark through brutal workouts, insane waking hours, and long runs down the beach wearing about 50 pounds of equipment. The uncle taught Mark how to shoot a rifle, which Mark had a special attribute of shooting and was a rather spectacular shot. He joined shooting sports at his local high school and won awards in target shooting and other accuracy-based events.

When he hit his 18th birthday in May of 2010, Mark was encouraged to enlist into the Navy by his uncle, So he did. After taking the US Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and entering Navy boot camp, he was selected for Navy SEAL training, a pleasant surprise for Mark, who had been told that he would have to wait a few years before he could embark in SEAL training.

And, as so, he went through SEAL training (known as BUD/S- Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL). Mark survived the training and the rigors of Hell Week and earned his Trident badge. After all the training was done and qualifications squared away, he was selected for SEAL Team 2,which working in the Pacific Theatre during that time. He spent the next two years (2010-2012) working as an operator for Platoon 3 and completing (mostly) ship interdiction work and one mission that involved a hostage rescue- details are, of course, classified for that op.

At the end of his first enlistment period, he reenlisted just as his platoon was being transferred to the Atlantic Theatre. He spent those two years (2012-2014) working in Europe and the Atlantic. After he completed his second enlistment period, Command decided to attach Mark to SEAL Team 3 in the Middle East to help provide security for the Gulf nations.

After about one year working in the Middle East, Mark was awarded some commendations for his work and then transferred to the Navy Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU), formerly known as SEAL Team 6. he worked Anti-Terror ops all over the world and back... until 2017, when he was participating in Operation [REDACTED] and he displayed his power during an engagement with enemy forces. Following the conclusion of that operation, Mark was approached by recruiters from Echo-10, where he admitted that ha had known about his own power for a long time, but he kept it hidden from everyone for fear what people would think. He was briefed on the purpose and mission of Echo-10, and, after some deliberation agreed to join.

His fate is now out of his hands...

I would say that having a signature is useless, but I changed my mind on that: it gives others reasons to make fun of me. ^_^


These are not the droids you are looking for. Insult me first, then we'll add some.

NAME: Dagon Argrave
PREVIOUS PROFESSION: Unknown, claims Mercenary
NATIONALITY: Unknown, recovered by Echo Ten in a crash site giving off unknown energy readings. Claims to be Irish-Amercan
GENDER: Male
ABILITY: None
ABILITY CATEGORY: Tech
RANK: Corporal

AGE & DOB: 23/April 1st, 1993
EDUCATION & OCCUPATIONAL HISTORY: Unknown. Claims to have received a college-level education from the training pods in the Archangel program. Spent most of his life acting as a mercenary on behalf of the "Archangel program." Nothing exists on record of an Archangel program, but tests confirm his education level.

SKILLS: Expert marksman, swordsman, and CQC expert. Knows basic first aid and mechanical skills. Above average in the art of stealth.
EQUIPMENT: Thanks to a techno-arcane suit, Dagon's strength, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes and senses are above that of even the greatest human specimen. The suit contains nano-machines that grant him an amazing healing factor, allowing him to heal from any injury and allows for immunity to telepaths, drugs, and poisons.

The Suit is a techno-organic armor fused with arcane energy. The Suit syphons the life-force of the wearer to repair and power itself, meaning that only Dagon with the nano-machines in his blood can wield it. The Suit has a variety of functions, including it can absorb and reflect magical and energy based attacks, line-of-sight teleportation, scan his surroundings, and transform into street clothes. The Suit also is capable of projecting realistic holograms over Dagon, complete with audio. When not in battle, it is retracted into his trademark red hoodie and black pants. Finally, the Suit has hammer-space pouches - a form of infinite storage named after the holes cartoon characters could pull hammers from. The hoodie pocket acts as the pouch when he's not fully armored.

Dagon's armor also grants him access to the Archangel feats, skills made to mimic those of archangels. Currently, these skills include teleportation circles to any coordinate of space or time, angel time (slowing down the perception of time mixed with super speed so he can react quicker to combat scenarios), flight, absolute nullification (unable to be affected by anything aside from mundane damage), shatter-point (the ability to find the weak point in any construct, both organic and inorganic), and the activation of the Sword of Sin and Salvation. However, Dagon has reason to believe there are more skills, waiting to be unlocked.

His weapons are the Sword of Sin and the Sword of Salvation. The Sword of Sin is a magic flaming blade which burns bright when facing evil entities. It can morph into a pistol or a variety of explosive and heavy weapons. Any equipment it forms are black with red runes. It is also capable of making those injured by it face the pain of the sins they've inflicted as an Archangel feat. The Sword of Salvation is a magic blade with a cold aura which glows blue when in the presence of good. It can morph into a pistol, or a variety of more precise weapons and gadgets. Any equipment it forms are light grey with blue runes. As an Archangel feat, it is also able to force those who the sword passes through to tell the whole and unconditional truth. Both weapons are extremely sharp and can pierce most normal armors and shields, as well as through normal magical barriers and wards. Both are considered holy weapons.

Weaknesses: Dagon was created to be a soldier useful in any scenario. As a result, he's a jack of all trades, master of none. Meaning badass specialists can prove a problem if he fights them on their terms. For example, he'd loose a sword duel against someone who only specializes in sword fighting. His armor can withstand much punishment, but while under fire it cannot use it's other powers, instead focusing on keeping the suit operational. After taking enough damage to wear away the wards, his armor would do little more than attempt to cushion the blows, and his bones would slowly break under the constant barrage of attacks. It is particularly weak to magic weapons, which wear away at the ward faster than normal ballistic weapons. Entrapment and threats to his friends also works as ways to defeat him without having to deal with his considerable might.

The biggest problem with his suit however is the fact that it's living. It won't let him charge into suicidal situations, and on occasion will not work as intended. This is a problem if he wants to scan for enemies, and instead fires a flare into the area.

His nano machine healing factor is awesome, but takes time. The more damage he takes, the more time it takes. Plus, he feels pain, and while he's usually able to get past it, major damage can render him solely focused on his own regeneration in an effort not to pass out.

Finally, the Archangel feats and armor, while incredible, are fueled by his life-force. Normally, this just means the nano machine healing factor is kept in check, but while using the feats his healing factor is actually halted to that of a normal human. This means that should his armor fail, he can't heal himself until a some time after he stops using the feat. The period of time usual lasts about half an hour, but can increase depending on the scope and duration of the feat. He also cannot activate these feats unless the suit deems it necessary, and even then the suit picks the power, not Dagon.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Six feet tall, 180 pounds, athletic build. Caucasian skin with brown hair and eyes.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT: (Personality, mental disorders, motivations) Constantly talks, optimistic outlook, makes jokes. Seems to take nothing seriously, and yet hasn't failed a mission yet. Very loyal to his team, willing to lay down his life if necessary. Strong moral compass might prevent him from making the hard choices. Suffers from some for of schizophrenia, believing he's talking to a "narrator." Claims to be motivated by doing good.

Though he's shown great skill both in combat and out, he is currently a Corporal due to his mental health, his strict person code, and his mysterious unconfirmed origins.
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: Claims to not be connected to anyone. Background check confirms this, as if he never existed until a couple of months ago.
BIOGRAPHY AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION: It is worth noting that the following is all what the subject claims to be his past. With him either being unwilling or unable to lower his physic jammers, we have no choice but to record his story on the off chance it may be true.

Imagine, soldiers who could strike with the fury of the heavens, someone who made their enemies feel as if Judgement Day had come early for them. This was the idea behind the Archangel program, a secret military project designed to be the perfect blend of genetics, technology, and magic. By augmenting a person's DNA to give them superhuman capabilities, altering their brains to make them unquestioningly loyal, then giving these individuals techno-arcane weapons and armor, the Archangels were set upon the world to preform impossible missions and black bag operations as the organization saw fit. However, they weren't perfect. Due to the nature of their missions, the Archangels would often take serious injuries performing their duties, which meant weeks or months in a healing chamber. Enter Archangel-7.

He was to be the first in a new wave of Archangels. Aside from the usual genetic alternations, Archangel-7 would also receive a powerful healing factor, allowing him to stay in active use for longer. Ironically, the healing factor would prove fatal if left unchecked. As a result, Archangel-7 was given an experimental set of techno-arcane armor and weapons which were powered with his own life-force. Full of amazing abilities, Archangel-7 would have every tool at his disposal. He was now a one-man special ops team, capable of fulfilling any and all roles for any mission. He was given the codename Duma, after the archangel of silence, because of his efficiency and his tendency to only speak when absolute necessary.

Duma was proving quite the asset, so the scientists decided to experiment on him further. They had recently discovered the "fourth wall," a sort of barrier between the fabric of reality that oracles and sages used to create their prophesies. While these magic users had been doing this naturally for centuries, scientist could now pinpoint where this "wall" was. Soon they began theorizing of what would happen if you linked someone's mind to this wall, hoping to create a soldier who would have a sort of precognition, able to avoid harm before it touched them. Because the scientists had no idea what kinds of adverse affects would happen to a human test subject, and knowing that Duma possessed an amazing healing factor, they decided to mess with Duma's mind. Through a complex procedure, Duma's mind was tied to the fourth wall. At that point, a rush of ideas and forces invaded Duma's psyche. Eventually, Duma sprang from the table, he mind suddenly clear. He remembered everything, every horrible act he had every committed, and it was all because of the Archangel program. Duma was dead. Arising from it's broken psyche was Azrael, the archangel of vengeance. And he knew who he'd bring to justice first.

Donning his suit, Azrael killed everyone inside of the testing chamber. As security forces rushed in, he barged past them, heading not for the exit, but for his brothers and sisters. He reached the cryochambers, and released the other Archangel. Manipulating the fourth wall, he freed their minds from obedience and together, they destroyed all traces of the Archangel program as best they could. As the complex was reduced to rubble, the Archangels went their separate ways, each trying to atone for their deeds in their own way. Some left to hunt down the remnants of the program, others went to live normal lives. Azrael chose the third option. When he was connected to the fourth wall, something happened. He didn't know what it was, but he knew he would play a role in whatever it was. Taking the name given to him by the narrator, Dagon said goodbye to his family and moved on.

Traveling to the UK, he stayed at the Badass Academy as an observer. Here, he made some close friends, something he had never done thanks to the Archangel program. He also learned what it was he felt the day he was connected to the fourth wall: it's deterioration. Monsters had entered the world of man, and he had to stop it. He was then the most experienced student of Badass Academy, ready to help defend the world with his new found friends.

After years of fighting, Badass Academy finally finished the war, restoring order to the Veil and beating back the Overlord. However, when they sealed him away, he promised that he would return, with help from another from beyond this dimension. Worried, Sentinel sent Dagon across dimensions to those most capable to extra-dimensional travel. After several trips, he has landed here, with little memory of the briefing Sentinel gave him. He only knows to a school with powered people, and hope he can remember what the rest of his mission is. He seems to have lost his original healing factor, it now being controlled by the suit. Additionally, he seems to be unable to demonstrate his "dimension hopping," so it is impossible to know if he's telling the truth.

Just need a picture, though I'd like Forest or Alt to look at this to make sure I have enough weaknesses per power.

The pending apps look fine, I'll add them to the character list in the second post.

EDIT: Also, Alpha-4 is shaping up nicely. I think I'm going to set the number of agents per unit at eight and use multiple units per mission if it's a biggish mission.
