Are We Heroes? Ch2 [ooc, Open, Great Time to Join!]

[Cerrania]

Still working on a character, do we have a lot of magically gifted so far?

A decent amount. The smallest number we had are, I think, The Enhanced.

Hoping to get one up tonight myself. Torn on whether to have her be a CADMUS asset or a Syndicate assassin that often works with CADMUS. Anyone mind helping me break the dead lock?

I think associating more characters with the main threat to Supers would be the better choice. It offers more legitimacy to CADMUS and doesn't create faction gore(shoutout EU4).

Plus we only have a few combat-related pipe-hitters on CADMUS that aren't NPCs right now, as most of the PCs are in big brass.

[Arengin Union]

I'll post an intro to my character and move him away from Boston to NYC. I need to come up with a reason, any thoughts?

Thanks, next question: I'm reading the IC on and off, has anything need to know occurred as of yet?

[New Heliopolis]

Definitely will consider making an app here.

Not sure what you mean by this.

Is the in character thread currently composed of just character introductions, or is there important plot developments already unfolding that I should worry about?

If anybody wants to pass through Seattle, Iron Owl would be delighted to see you....anybody......somebody.

I'd have to round him up soon... Just give the word on when CADMus finds out the link between Pryce and Iron Owl. Then, things in Seattle will kick into gear. Adam Narodny needs a victory if he wants to stay on the good side of public opinion.

My god, guys. There is so much to write about... So much that needs showing... Forgive me for not getting it all up. I'd like to hear ideas, and when I leave something out, be sure to correct me accordingly. The next post will hold a public funeral in New York for the fallen CADMUS agents and the fire fighters.

I'd like to get the opinions of the other Co-Op and the OP. A private organisation killing and capturing mutants seems a bit unnecessary (since we already have CADMUS as the big bad) and I don't see why the US would allow such an illegal organisation to exist within its borders. So, I'd like to hear other opinions first before committing.

I could see it if OHC was a privately-owned government-contractor setup essentially as an extension of CADMUS.

Things are developing.

Alright, I am BACK people!

I need everyone to Telegram me things that need my attention; questions, unapproved apps, that sort of thing.

Application

Character Name: Joseph Lero, Age 34

Gender: Male

Alias: Stardust Man

Species: Gifted

Appearance:


Personality: Not very social or talkative but usually friendly, as well as being a logical, curious person.

Powers:

• Matter Manipulation: can alter the state of, destroy, move, and reconstruct matter.
• Time Stop: Stops time for only 3-5 seconds.
• Superhuman Survivalist: Can go without human necessitates such as food and water for 2 weeks longer than a normal person.
• Light bending: Self-explanatory, the ability to bend light.

Drawbacks:

• Matter Manipulation cannot alter the matter of self or other people and only works within a 200ft range, as well as it needs to be activated.
• The world in Time Stop cannot be changed, for example bullets cannot be pushed around and people can't be moved or damaged.
• If Joseph doesn't eat or drink by the end of the additional 2 weeks by Superhuman Survivalist, he will blackout/faint and feel extremely weak until he is renourished.
• Light bending only works when there is lots light, preferably during the day and cannot work at night.

Origin of Powers: Cosmic Event

Bio: Joseph always lived in SF since he was a child. He did pretty average in school but had no friends until College. Occasionally he got into a fight with a school bully, mainly due to being self-defensive. He gained his powers at Age 27 due to a cosmic event. For a few days he felt drowsy and dizzy. Upon discovering his powers he trained himself in secret to use them properly as he did not want to accidentally change something around him. When he heard the news of secret organizations taking away other Superhumans, he stopped using his powers completely for a time in order to avoid being taken away. After hearing the existence of groups such as The Chosen Ones, CADMUS, and Omega Horizon Corporation, he felt that something had to be done about such evil groups, so he set out to find other Superhumans like himself and began using his powers once more but in a low profile manner.

Joseph has a Bachelors Degree in Science and Literature. He knows languages such as Spanish and French. Currently, Joseph lives by himself in the Bay Area of SF.

Starting Location: San Francisco, California, United States of America

Faction: N/A

Additional info: Is an Atheist, doesn't usually drink coffee.

Equipment: Samsung Galaxy S7, Notebook, Honda Civic (2016 Model)

Techniques: One of Joseph's signature techniques is Air Boost, in which he uses the air to move himself in any direction he wishes to, usually to give a boost when jumping or to slow down a fall.

Theme Song: The Stardust Man Appears

Note to OP: If you do not wish for my character to have Time Stop, I am perfectly fine with that as Matter Manipulation just by itself is pretty powerful.

Heres my application, I hope I'm not late to the party.

[The Cyberiad Council]

On the matter of OHC, I have seen and had several suggestions and issues brought to me, so Arengin Union, I am going to retract the acceptance for the OHC as its own independent faction, and move it under CADMUS. Commonwealth will still be the coOp in charge of that, but I think he will grant you large leeway. You will still be able to play it the way I think you intended, but it will just change the lore and back story a little. If there are complaints with this, take them up with me via telegram.

Im okay with this as long as OHC exist and I can use my mercenary character

HHHMMMMMMMM.

I think this is based on Jojo's Bizzare adventure.

I will accept on the condition that you can verify that his character is your own creation (if it is heavily influenced I am okay, just make it your own), and that you agree to remove the protective attributes of the clothing. Matter manipulation, while powerful, does not describe how it can make fibers have those attributes(at least how you have described it.Normally I would overlook this, but while there is nothing wrong with a character having protective clothing, I dislike it when it is used in combination of other powerful abilities.) And the time stop is in accordance with the rules. I do assume that stardust man can move during this ability?

He served in the US armed forces as a Navy seal, until he retired and shortly after was offered a job at the Omega Horizon Corporation as head of the security team. Soon Garcia went through the ranks and achieved the rank of commander of the corporations Black Brigade paramilitary group.

My app please

[Vanquaria]

Also update op with mein character soon eh

[The V O I D]

I just noticed that CADMUS began covering up Aesculapius' one successful healing at Chicago Central...

I have to wonder, what did they do in situations where he got to a hospital, no one reported it/there were no CADMUS agents present, and now everyone knows a mutant saved a few hundred people or so? I mean, silencing hundreds of families seems a difficult task to manage.

And Aesculapius has been active for decades or so, only escaping because of his creativity and because he can sense people in a certain range, and can probably tell if they're armed or not and such because of how they are moving towards him.

CADMUS can cover up Aesculapius' healing, in events like these, but can they really do it when he does manage to clear out a hospital's ICU?
