Against the Stars (OOC, Open)

[The V O I D]

I keep writing and rewriting posts because I don't want to make some NPC pirates sound wrong, but also want them to remain semi-unimportant relative to Jack who is escaping.

Sorry it hasn't been finished btw, been busy. Finals come up next month and lots of studying and homework and shit among other things so ye.

Hi

[Kaledoria]

I was just about to say sorry for being away the long weekend but I see, so have you been.

Anyway, I just ordered an air strike. For the record, 40 kg TNT-equivalent is less, than really small bombs, it would probably not be able to seriously damage a modern 2017 nuclear power plant, but since Jack has already dealt some damage to the plant, we are taking the low charge. Consequently, It should probably not kill Jack even on a direct hit, but throw him around a bit. ... Unless of course, both missiles are aimed at the Nine anyway.

[Zhaas123]

sorry I haven't posted trying to get something down.

[Parcia]

I was going to have Athena pick up the order to fire, and "Encourage" them to hold their fire.

She would see the bomb as a threat to the stability of the plant, including Sean and Alice.

I don't know what you meant with "Pick up the order to fire" - this is a securely encrypted transmission. Even with a slightly more advanced tech, you will not be able to decrypt that in real time.
You will however be able to see the launch with sufficiently good sensors and with sufficiently good lasers you should be able to take them out on the flight.

That was fast. Now, is anyone waiting on anything?

Hm... -rubs mustache- She would detect the launch, and warn them against further endangering the young master. -Fires mass drivers across the their bow-

[The Knockout Gun Gals]

I'll post soon.

[The V O I D]

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, IRL stuff.

Also, Atria, just realized your classifications and such are based on Worm. I haven't actually read it, but I've read fanfiction stuff about it and sort of used this and the relevant wiki as a point of reference to get the gist.

[TriStates]

If it helps, I'll chance an app, if Atria is looking to continue it.

I hope it didn't die in my absence; stuff came up IRL that was unavoidable.

[The Republic of Atria]

I'm definitely up for continuing this.

You got time tonight? We could give the IC a much needed immuno-boost of posts.

I've got a few minutes. Can whip up a response to Knockout.

[TriStates]

Will prob need 30 mins to get a solid app up. Can post after that.

Any character personality or archetypes suggestions would be lovely. Its been a while since I've flexed my app making muscles.

[TriStates]

Would you be adverse to me borrowing an inactive character Atria?

I'm cool with it.

[Indo-pasif archipelago]

I would like to see this continues, but for the moment I won't be able to post, sorry bout that Atria,

By the way, do you guys have any idea for your character alias/codename? I've been thinking about it for my char, but I failed to come up with anything good.

[TriStates]

Laying claim to Rob and Neros's chars. I reanimate only "teh best"

Alias/codename? What's your character's abilities? From there we can think of the alias/codename. At least one that would be fit, as it is easier to think of an alias when you already figured out your character's abilities.

To me, anyway.

My char can absorb emotions from other, and either used said emotions to affect other or to conjure a liquid substance that have different properties with different emotions.


I'm thinking of Melancholy as she often use the feeling of depression as weapons but she also use wrath and fear so I'm not sure.

Name/Alias: Mark Nemo

Gender: Male

Age: 22

Appearance:

Race: Parahuman - An offshoot of humanity arising from mutated "super" genes on Earth, developing into a subspecies by means of power and level of advancement. Their population rose as humanity took to the stars, but plummeted during the Hyperium War due to their militaristic and combative nature. One thousand or so remain in total throughout the Galaxy, scattered and without leadership or direction, lost in a sea of chaos and trying to stay afloat.

Backstory:Mark Nemo is one of the youngest Parahumans in existence, he is among the few born immediately after the Hyperium War, which saw an unimaginable scale of destruction and death brought upon his people. His race was similar to Supers, except that they had no trigger, but were born with their powers and abilities from the start. The Parahuman Lineage is ancient and based on a strict code of ethics and a warrior code, so when war came, the immensely strong and capable Parahumans took to the battlefield time and time again until they were simply no more, ground away through sheer attrition.

From millions to barely a thousand, Mark Nemo doesn't feel the same sense of hopelessness that the older generation feels, as he was never apart of the pre-War Parahuman society. As he was raised, though, he noticed how the veterans and heroes were treated with disdain, yet he couldn't understand why as a child. He felt their judgement and persecution was wrong, and that if he was in the same situation and just as powerful, he'd fight like hell for the Galaxy, too. But as he became an adult, the heroes had all but faded, Mark was left to his own devices throughout the stars, making ends meet by hiring himself out as a bodyguard enforcer here and there, tending to stay away from criminal elements if possible.

One thing the Parahumans will not tell you, though, is that such cullings of the population has been commonplace in their history. Vast swathes of people and bloodlines would simply be erased, clearing the weeds so that the flowers may bloom. To them, in their warrior culture, the strong survive and the weak perish, making the remaining few some of the most powerful Parahumans alive. A critical flaw in this thinking, though, is the tremendous loss of life that claimed even Parahumans once considered impossibly strong and powerful, who alone would outclass the remnants.

Powers and Abilities:

• Supernatural Condition: Baseline Parahumans are supernaturally powerful before their main powers kicks in, giving each and every member of the subspecies at least the physical abilities of an Olympic athlete, yet most exceed that and stray into the realm of supernatural strength. Mark himself can also augment his physiology telekinetically, increasing his physical abilities with his main power.
• Advanced Level Telekinesis: Mark is a high-end telekinesis user, mind over matter, able to manipulate objects with thought alone. So advanced is his control that he can influence molecules (in small amounts so far) and a whole host of abilities that telekinesis brings. He is smart with his power, but tends to get ahead of himself.

Weaknesses:

• Unable to manipulate magical items or energies with his power
• People with physical strength higher than Mark's mental strength will overpower his control
• Telekinetic Immunity

Standard Equipment: His power suit, pictured, which is little more than basic atmosphere, protection, and the like. He actually bought it on sale.

Classification: Mover 99+

Optional stuff

Theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKk81dZuwdE

Random Facts: Perpetually has money issues

Tropes:

• Mind Over Matter
• Differently Powered Individual: Parahumans in general
• Genius Bruiser: Outside of his youthful sarcasm, he's actually very clever and very resourceful, using his power creatively and effectively.

Name/Alias: Germayne Lockjaw

Gender: Male

Age: 58

Appearance(Pics are fine, include costume if needed!):

Race: Human

Backstory:
Germayne was born on a colony on the outer edge of the human's empire. His father was an engineer for the human military, designing weaponry and ships for the empire, and early on taught Germayne the ways of engineering and building. However, where his father was skilled, Germayne was masterful. He built his first engine at the age of 7, and his first vehicle from scratch at the age of 10. However, in both cases, they broke a week later. When the war with the Hyperium broke out, he put his services to use with the Human Empire's navy, designing ships and weaponry which, after some tweaks by other engineers to prevent them from failing, would become somewhat crucial to winning the war.

After the war concluded, Germayne found his home on Haven, living in seclusion and building various weapons and vehicles, including his turbodiesel power suit.

Powers and Abilities:
Flawed Master Mechanical Engineer: Basically he can create anything out of anything. He can turn lead pipes into a gatling cannon, he can turn fridge magnets into a high powered railgun. He can turn some cans and sheet metal into a turbodiesel powered super suit. However, everyone of his creations is fatally flawed in longevity, meaning after high use it will inevitably break itself, often at the least opportune moments. This can range from a single component failing to total operational failure.

Weaknesses:
- Equipment Breaking
- He's only human
- He's not the most mentally stable

Standard Equipment:
25,000 HP Turbodiesel Power Armor
Runs off a back mounted quadturbo 10.6L V12 diesel engine modeled after Ford's 7.3L Powerstroke, utilizing HEUI hydraulic oil fuel injection system. It puts out 25,000 horsepower at 5000 RPM (13,750,000 foot lbs of force per second). The driveshaft extends to the arms and legs utilizing omnidirectional universal joints and torque direction converters at the midsection and shoulders, allowing for the arms and legs to move in different directions. Hydraulic oil pressure allows for the movement of the head, hands and feet. When running or jumping, the two additional turbos will kick in, allowing for 50,000 horsepower impacts and attacks. Exhaust valves on the shoulder provide back pressure for the engine to compress fuel for combustion. The suit carries with it a 100 gallon fuel tank mounted in between the back and the engine, as well as around the sides of the engine. It sounds like this.

This is his main piece of equipment but it can vary with situation.

Emotion? Since she uses emotion-based powers. That may be a lame name, of course.
