Accepted.

I talked it out with the OP and we have some concerns regarding this character's dollification ability. First of all, even with the limitations currently in place, it seems like an overly powerful ability, as it appears to be able to turn nearly anyone into a slave doll and there is no mention whatsoever of a way to revert this effect. Secondly, while I noticed that the character can only "hold" three dolls at a time, I noticed no limit to the number of dolls that she can have active at a given time, which seems a bit too powerful as well. I'd like you to tone down this ability before accepting the character, though I'll also point out that, once this is done, the character would be accepted, since there's nothing else wrong with the application.

-snip-

Accepted, though I'll just note that having enchanting eyes isn't much of a weakness.

-snip-

Both are accepted. For what it's worth, I don't think there is as much overlap. If you do decide to scrap the character or change her powers after all, make sure to let me know.

-snip-

Accepted.

I'll update the archive post with all of the accepted characters shortly. I'd also like to invite people to try submitting their own arc ideas with the mission app, since we're short on those (we have the first few steps planned out I believe, but ideas for missions are always welcome).

Elizabeth was meant to be a 'joke' app - it's not meant to be taken seriously. I made Elizabeth out of attempting to celebrate Christmas Eve. Otherwise, Elizabeth is kind of a failure - she has a terrible biography, she doesn't have that many likes and dislikes that I wished for her to have, I had very little inspiration to create her, and I was also partially drunk when I was creating her. (IGNORE THAT APP)

On the other hand, Zoe was an app that I had spent much greater time and effort upon than Elizabeth. I spent a week and a half making drafts for Zoe, as opposed to Elizabeth who have I've just made on Christmas Eve (even though I spent the days before Christmas shopping and going to the Nutcracker Suite). Now, in regards to Zoe's purple eyes, in terms of stealth and discretion, Zoe's purple eyes are like a proverbial sore thumb - it's impossible to overlook a (suspicious) beautiful alien woman who has glowing purple eyes, especially when she's sneaking around.

Sure, but it's still not much of a weakness that can be exploited to defeat her or whatnot. If anything, it's more of a limitation to her thievery.

As for the joke app, it's fine if you want to do that sort of stuff, but try to make it clear beforehand that it's not meant to be reviewed for acceptance. Would've saved me some time and effort today, had I known that.

I'm dearly sorry about that.

P.S. That's what I get for partying on Christmas Eve and becoming partially drunk - stay up until 12 in the morning to conjure an app without saying its a joke.

How would Red know that? Unless he hasn’t quite been abiding by Quick Shot’s rules?

I feel like him and Nathan would work together well, in terms of powers. They complement each other.

The more I look at it the more I hyped I get over a team up. The powers match (Mike releasing energy and Nathan absorbing it), but there's also the fact that Nathan loves superheroes, Mike hates them. Nathan's parents were (VERY) strongly against heroes and Mike's are heroes. I feel like the two could play off each other real well in training and fighting (plus Mike, would probably enjoy throwing explosives at Nathan more than he should).

Let’s see if we can set it up sometime!

Well to be fair he did a lot of... "Work" before he turned into a hero. Or antihero. Actually deciding what route I'm taking with that.

[Charmera]

Name: Alice Takeru, "Megamorph"
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance (pics if possible): https://i.pinimg.com/736x/55/82/99/5582 ... -night.jpg
Young Blood?: Yee
Bio: Alice Takeru is the daughter of two scientists, Teiko "Tom" Takeru and Jane Wilson, a robotics and a biologist respectively. Alice made her parents proud by getting into the family buisness early and taking a special interest in biochemistry. Alice was a progidy and the family was an effective team, working together on some of the most famous inventions and eventually starting an incredibly successful company. Alice's involvement was limited by her age and experience, but she learned quick enough to eventually discover a method of shrinking and growing humans. Her father created nanobots which could administer the chemicals.

However, they soon encountered shadowy people who wanted the research of the Tekeru family. One night, Alice watched as her parents were kidnapped. Desperate to hide from the men coming after her, she drank the nanobots and shrank to escape from them. Now Alice seeks to root out her parents kidnappers and also stop as much crime as possible in her new persona "Megamorph".
Powers:

• [Growing]: Alice can increase her size using the nanobots in her body at will.
• [Shrinking]: Alice can decrease her size using the nanobots in her body at will.
• [Grow/Shrink Bombs]: Alice has several bombs which either shrink or grow objects or people.
• [Intelect]: Alice is a natural chemist and highly skilled in biochemistry.

Limitations:

• [Growing]: Alice can increase her size up to 32 feet, though her capabilities have room for improvement.
• [Shrinking]: Alice can decrease her size to, at minimum, the size of a mouse.
• [Grow/Shrink Bombs]: Alice's growing and shrinking bombs

Weaknesses:

• [Limitations of Size]: Alice's size can limit her. If she's too big she can trip over things and if she's small she can be crushed.
• [Electicity]: Alice can be shocked stuck into a size for anywhere from a minute to several hours if she is given enough electricity in her system.

I wouldn't mind one more weakness besides electricity, also, why is grow/shrink bombs listed in limitations? Besides that it looks good.

Hmm... Now to get James into the same general vicinity as the Young Bloods, as he missed the event that created them in the first place...

Yeah, the first pictures in the species app were pretty eerie for me. I do really like the amount of world-building though.

My suggestion is just work on an intro post and then just wait a little while. When this current scene is over there should be a good opportunity for him to join.

[Auropa]

Name: Kross Mathews
Age: 40
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance:

Young Blood?: No

Bio: Kross Mathews is an official representative of the Superhuman Defense Committee. He specialises in security and commonly works with different governments around the world to give talks, reccommendations and inspections of standardised facilities in order to ensure that all elements of modern laws and requirements are upheld.

The individual Kross Mathews is a high-ranking agent of the Pandoran Lock organisation’s Containment sector. As per regulation, his current movements, acquisitions and activities are to covered by the foundation in order to allow for reasonable discretion without impeding overal effectiveness.

Orphaned at a young and a succesfull runaway from a number of foster homes, Kross went on to join the british infantry at the age of 16. Once there, he quickly distinguished himself through exceptional skills and a streak of disobedience and insubordination. His attitude earned him continually harder excercises and trails to overcome and eventually landed him in the brutal training fields of the SAS, once there respect and discipline were finally, albeit partially drilled into him but with it came ann eventual place as a member of the special forces. His time with them however, was ultimately cut short with the infamous Breach incident and first contact with the Hadrians.

After having his unit wiped out in the first wave, Kross was recovered and eventually recruited by Lock forces after joining their defensive line and performing exceptionally with the local forces. Since then, Kross has continued to work for the organisation's goals for over 20 years. In that time he has performed a number of operations on behalf of the foundation and has gradually earned himself a nigh-on legendary mythos within, even becoming the only non-powered AAA-class agent (a position given to each section oversear's effective right-hand agent). Despite a general lack of powers, he has proven his capabilities and resourcefulness in combatting threat after threat, time and time again often working with heavily limited personal, equipment and information. Several of his actions have even been noted as exceptional displays of ingenuity, caution and loyalty pairing well with his unrivalled inquisitive nature (for clarification see files on operations LWAtIH, BREACHED VEIL and VoiceLess). As of now, Kross currently acts with the authority of the Containment sector's overseer and operates from the Dead Zone facility within San Diego.

From his time in the field, Kross has seen and fought close to everything the crazed universe could throw at him and while admittedly past his prime, his experience and skill in dealing with the absurd is nigh-on unmatched. Despite being an this however, Kross has shown several ‘self-destructive’ tendencies in the form of a near constant use of excessive force, a reckless abandon of safety-based protocols and a near unmatched record of drinking on duty. While there are conflicting reports on numerous aspects, his psych reports have shown severe forms of repressed PTSD and mental scaring while his more aggressive tendencies seem to have sprouted from a ‘do or die’ mentality, that while useful, have also been noted as a potential liability.

Powers:

• [Veteran agent]: While his position mostly has him working and travelling alone, Kross still acts with the support and backing of the shadowy global Pandoran Lock Organisation and as a result has a vast number of unique items, personal and information at his disposal.
• Experienced: Kross has spent his whole career punching above his weight level. This has left its fair share of scars but has also taught him how to fight and win in a world of gods and monsters. Specifically, by cheating. Intelligence, reinforcements, equipment, brutality and fear are all commonly used weapons within Kross’ armory.

Limitations:

• Powerless. Kross is an unpowered human with a drinking and smoking problem.
• Cover story. While many know of Pandora’s Lock and its true capabilities within the SDC, Kross’ cover story is as a desk jockey of the SDC. As such, he’s unable to enter most facilities without first contacting support, delaying his efforts and giving potential warnings to any high level foes that may be waiting.

Weaknesses:

• Smoker’s Lung: While experienced and well built, Kross is far from the ideal image of health. Physical scars, a life of drinking and actual smokers’ lung are all problems continually slowing him down.
• Cocky: Despite his flaws, Kross is nearly unmatched in confidence. While he avoids obvious suicide runs, he has on several occasions, refused reinforcements in favour of acting alone to ensure certain aspects of his investigations.

Likes: Alcohol, insults, smoking, winning and doing what’s right no matter the cost
Dislikes: Most everything else

I don't feel up to the task of reviewing an app right now but, as a brief comment, while I get that you do it in the likes, dislikes and greatest fear bits (they're largely optional), I'm not personally a fan of all the redacts on his bio.

Mission Title: Bank Robbery
What heroes would be involved, if any?: The Young Bloods
What Villains are involved, if any?: Lisette Aveline (the Marionette) and some low-level thugs. Although I would prefer it if Lisette was actually working on behalf of an NPC villain. She's not really the 'evil mastermind' type.
Location(s): A bank in San Diego (a better name would be appreciated)
What is the heroes’ objective, if any?: Rescue hostages in the bank and stop the robbery.
What is the villains’ objective, if any?: Rob the bank.

Quick Summary(paragraph please):
Not long after the events on Wonder Island, the Young Bloods receive word that a major bank within the city centre is being robbed in broad daylight. Employees and customers for the bank are being held hostage inside and the SDPD are preparing to move in – but they have heard that some of the robbers may be powered individuals and so have put out a request for heroic help. Lisette is leading the robbery, an event which will thrust her more into the public eye compared to her usual activities of underworld assassinations. What first appears to be a routine heroic endeavour for the new team, however, may emerge to be the beginning of something far larger after the Young Bloods discover that the bank heist is really a diversion for a far bolder crime.

I’m thinking that this could be a nice opening mission for the team while also leading into an arc involving Scott Industries. While the Young Bloods and the SDPD are responding at the bank, a break-in occurs at a Scott Industries lab in San Diego. The perpetrators are armed, trained and clearly professional – knowing exactly what they were after. I haven’t quite figured out the details yet, but I’m hoping that the Young Bloods go detective-ing and uncover a larger conspiracy to use a secret weapon being developed within Scott Industries – along with some shady dealings by the company itself.

Mission Title: Big Trouble in Little China
What Heroes would be involved, if any: Possibly the Young Bloods and/or definitely NPC-led police forces
What Villains are involved, if any: Zoe
Location(s): Hong Kong, China
What is the Heroes’ objective: Intercept Zoe and retake the flash drives.
What is the Villains’ objective: Steal the flash drives and meet back up to the extraction point.
Quick Summary:

Welcome back to the party, Zoe, we thought we were never going to see you again. As you can tell from our small crew, we hardly had anyone up to the job of performing our nighttime missions, so we stuck to our guns and looked back to you. So, I hope you enjoyed your little vacation, because we got some new assignments for you.

Since the little catastrophe at Wonder Island, we thought we might be able to give the Young Bloods a hard time. Unfortunately, that don't mean we're going to mindlessly nuke a military base, I'm talking about something else. Instead, we're going to try and attempt to pull the rugs from underneath the Young Bloods by locating and taking out their safehouses.

Now that ain't going to be easy for a crew like us, since not only do we not have the firepower, but we also don't have as much intel to start off with. Manpower ain't much a problem, we can always hire PMCs and heavy guns; however, we need to locate the Young Bloods' safehouses first. Now before you ask, I ain't looking for any superweapons - our objectives are something else.

Our race has nothing against yours indeed. In fact you have guys done much to thrust us into a new age of technology and intergalactical diplomacy; however, the only thing that bothers me is that we're still being protected by these adolescent defenders of Earth. You may have powers too, but at least you're minding you're own business, so why don't we ask a favor?

Getting back on topic, we have gotten word that one of our informants had been busy providing us the necessary intel; however, our informant had suddenly vanished a few weeks ago. A week after that, we sent in one of our best operatives to find our informant; however, he too vanished a week later. Subsequently, this is where you come into play.

Your first mission is to head down to our informant's last known residence in Hong Kong and retrieve his flash drives. You need to be covert and as quick as possible, since the neighborhood down there is recently being infested with cops. Whatever gave the reason for so many cops down there, it ain't good; however, stay out of their way and get those flash drives.

Also, if you are given the chance, find out what happened to our informant and the subsequent operative we sent in. If we can figure out what happened, we can be able to readjust our plans and get ourselves back on track. If they're both dead, then don't bother unless said otherwise; however, if they're either alive, get them out of hell ASAP.

Now because of the heavy police presence, you are advised not to inflict a single causality at all costs - we cannot afford to have Hong Kong be taken upon the international spotlight. Otherwise, this mission is pretty straight forward, that is if you can maneuver through the dense metropolitan environment of Hong Kong. Good Luck!

Will post soon. I was going to post yesterday, but I ended up getting a stomach virus and vomiting multiple times, so I wasn't exactly in the best condition to post.

And guess what?

Yesterday was my birthday. Of all the days to contract a stomach virus...


Buuuut, I also have some suggestions for this RP.

(1. For the apps, we should add a personality section to describe the character's...well, personality.
(2. There should possibly be a Discord server for this RP. It would help with planning and whatnot.

I'm not OP, but personally I like the fact that the app doesn't actually contain personality. From my experience, what I describe in the personality often ended up very different from how I write in the IC. It's better in my opinion to have like and dislike, as this is useful as a 'scaffolding' for the personality I'll be writing for the char.

Just my two cents though, so take it with a grain of salt.
