Young Bloods(REBOOT OOC, Superhero RP, Open)

[The Republic of Atria]

Damn that sounds ridiculous. May be a bit OP for this rp as is? I was under the impression that the young bloods are fairly street level (or slightly above) at the moment? Though I could definitely get behind something similar.

I wouldn't say they're quite street level, some of them can be very powerful, though their drawbacks keep them on more or less even footing with the rest of the team. They're not too high up the scale either way, though.

And I largely agree, that power list is a bit much. Excessively versatile, if nothing else.

Ehh. IT's not really. Except maybe the scream. The other is just low-mid level flying brick powers minus the flying.

Plus, apparently, shapeshifting, immense regenerative powers, some degree of psionic immunity, and whatever the hell the "synaptic disruption" thing is.

I'm not saying it's irredeemably OP. But that is a lot of powers. -shrugs-

Yeeaah, that's a touch OP. It's never fun if it's OP, then there's no point.

Adding those is a bit strong, definitely. I don't think Rebel was going that far.

As far as regen goes. Most characters have it in some way. Mostly to heal up after fights so that they don't have to sit out for 2 months if their leg gets broken.

I mean, I assume the powers would've been toned down a bit too, but the way they were described was definitely a bit far.

Regarding regen, sure, but I doubt anyone has it to the level shown in the pic

Is this better?

Name: Filia Umbrarum
Age: 30 (appears 21)
Gender: Female
Race: Cambion (half-demon)
Appearance: (Image)
(Image)
Young Blood?: Nope
Bio: Filia Umbrarum was born in the year 1987 to a wealthy family in Brooklyn, New York. She was daughter of a demonic entity named Domini Umbrarum who took human form and a kind and loving American woman named Joanna, thus making Filia a cambion. The family was charge of one of the most largest multicorporation companies in the world, called S.H.A.D.E Industries. Filia inherented her powers from Domini Umbrarum who came from the Shadow Realm, which he rules as his personal domain. Filia's mother, Joanna, unfortunately died giving birth to her, which caused Domini Umbrarum to have a huge resentment towards the young cambion

In childhood Filia was quite sociably with her peers, finding a great love in helping those around her, seeking nothing in return. She went to a private school and did quite well with her education, getting along quite well with her peers., making friends with them However, even from a young age, Filia Umbrarum had a found herself constantly having the urge to steal. At times she would shop lift from various stores. At other times she would pickpocket, even her own friends and peers, and she would even go break into others homes at night and rob the place. The things she stole varied from the most valuable to the most useless, including shoes, pencils, paperclips, pens, toys, clothing, and even jewelry. Filia was caught quite a few times and have gotten in trouble, with only her family to bail her out. However, she found herself unable to stop with her crimes. Thus Filia was a diagnosed with kleptomania at age 10. The youthful half-demon continued her thievish exploits nonetheless, getting practiced with the art of thieving, no matter how terrible she felt about it at many times, to the point of the skills becoming super powers themselves.

Filia, upon reaching adulthood, later moved to San Diego
to live with her older cousin, Sophie, who is also a cambion. Sophie, like her uncle, owned a rather large corporation herself, and lived in an old estate that belonged to the Umbrarum Family for many years and was called Tenebrous Manor. Even in San Diego, Filia continued her thieving excursions, creating a costume and taking on the name "Lady Tenebrous". The half-demon proved to have a talent in the art of thievery unlike any other in the world. However, the young woman gained a sense of putting her kleptomania and powers over darkness and shadows to "good" use, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, which helped Filia come to terms with her thievish addiction and even fall even more in love with it.

As the years passed, Lady Tenebrous became one of the most wanted thieves in the world. The great thief have had many clashes with heros of all kinds, but has always managed to slip through their fingers. However, no one knows that the dark woman has even any connections to the lovely lady, Filia Umbrarum....

In the meantime, Filia and her cousin Sophie opened together a night club. Naming it the 'Nightingale Lounge', the club opened about a year ago and proved to be a successful and popular attraction in the City of San Diego. For food, drink, music and fun all are welcome at The Nightingale Lounge.

App looks mostly fine, but I think you should take out shadow teleportation. It seems tangental the physiology, and I think you should replace it with shadow concealing, so she can conceal her self in shadows

Here's a mission app for a fairly big (albeit optional) arc I'm planning for not too long down the road. Since it involves some important surprises I'd rather not reveal, the summary's a bit scarce, but I tried to give enough details that aren't top seekrit

Mission Title: Shadow Heist/Night of Chaos
What heroes would be involved, if any?: Icarus, possibly; anyone who wishes to participate is welcome.
What Villains are involved, if any?: The Cabal will serve as the main antagonists.
Location(s): San Diego
What is the heroes’ objective, if any?: During the first phase, stop the robbery. During the second phase, restore order in San Diego.
What is the villains’ objective, if any?: Steal the chemicals, distribute them and disrupt order within the city.
Quick Summary: Members of the secretive group of teenage criminals who call themselves the Cabal have finally decided to make their move, after a long period of preparation. Their target: A large facility belonging to a powerful corporation renowned for its unique and very expensive products. Their objective: Extract a wealth of dangerous chemicals stored within the facility and take them to an undisclosed location for later use. The heroes of San Diego try to stop them, but through meticulous planning, flawless execution and an apt distraction to cover their entrance and exit, the Cabal manages to get away with their prize.

Once the goods have been secured and a period of lying low has elapsed, the second part of the plan is enacted: the Cabal begins distributing the chemicals throughout San Diego in order to make a cryptic statement, and the city is plunged into chaos as a result, the forces of law and order finding themselves quickly overwhelmed and in dire need of assistance as the crisis grows. Will the city's fall carry the name of the Cabal far and wide, or will the heroes of San Diego be able to stop the Cabal's schemes this time?

You know, the fact that it distributes chemical...somehow it sounds less supernatural in my mind.

Shadow Hiest? Now don't go taking away any potential titles for my shadow thief arcs.

[The Rebel Alliances]

I just found a list of all the powers the Bloodshot has apparently due to his nanites. Lets go down the shopping list and see what is for sale here.

*Nanite Enhanced Physiology
-Regenerative Healing Factor
-Invisibility
-Limited Shapeshifting
-Superhuman Strength
-Superhuman Agility
-Superhuman Speed
-Superhuman Reflexes
-Superhuman Stamina
-Superhuman Endurance
-Technopathy
-Sonic Scream

*Master Hand to Hand Combatant

*Weapons Expert

Alright, I am gonna aim to take only what would make sense for my planned development of Raven. The arc which has her injected with the weaponized nanites is aimed at making her into a living weapon. Think like biological terminator. That being said I am immediately going to take the ax to both the Sonic Scream, and the Technopathy. Because that seems like additional powers for the hell of it. And honestly the superhuman physical stats can be wrapped up in a package and labeled 'Default Power Up'. That is fairly basic stuff.

Before I continue, I want to make a quick note that sci fi level nanites can reasonably do all kinds of magic with altering living organisms. As they can be programmed for essentially anything. And her nanites are not self replicating, however she will have 'billions' of them inside of her. Now, moving on. I will be keeping the regenerative healing factor. Its been established that it will need to be powered by consuming large amounts of fat for the insane levels of regeneration. And if she is 'starving' then her healing will slow dramatically and she will be vulnerable to sustained damage and death. However in optimal levels she will be able to take a bullet to the head and shrug it off. Damage from small arms, fires, explosions ect, her healing will be pretty high tier but also her second most taxing ability. (I'll get to her most taxing, and dangerous ability later) Also, there are other limitations. The nanites 'repair' damaged tissue they do not 'replace' missing tissue.

What I mean is this. Lets say someone cut off her arm. The nanites would nearly immediately act to heal the wound, stop the bleeding and now she has a nub moments later where her arm used to be. So in short, she is not Deadpool. Basically blunt force trauma is nearly useless against her, firearms are at best moderately effective and blades are the most effective as they can be used to cleanly hack off entire limbs. Take note stabbing with a blade is also a near useless tactic for the above reasons.

Next I want to hit Invisibility, it is not true invisibility. But rather 'active camo' As her nanites would alter themselves to resemble the coloration of the environment. It is still possible to see her but she blends in 'very well'. Next the shape shifting, this process will be extremely painful for Raven. As her facial features are literally being adjusted by the nantites. It is not a pleasant process in the least.

After that I would like to add in superior senses. Such as hearing and vision. If the nanites enhance strength and healing, why not sight ect? The way I see it they would encompass all physical attributes. She can see in low light environments and hear sounds other humans simply cannot. Rather simple things.

This is one I am adding myself, 'climate adaption' this basically allows Raven to survive extreme weather. Such as deserts and tundras. As the nanites in her body will heat up to warm her or cool down in deserts. Not sure how useful this one will actually be yet, but makes sense given the concept.

And lastly, weaponized nanites. Raven will be able to send nanites from herself to enemies with the nanites 'ordered' to destroy the target. The machines will basically consume the target host. But this has a severe drawback and is a last resort measure for Raven. Her nanites do not replenish. And she needs them to live. This attack WILL weaken her, permanently to some degree every time she uses it. As nanites used in a attack like this cannot heal her later or strengthen her muscles or alter her appearance ect.

Weaknesses
A quick summary of weaknesses for Raven. Her healing is not perfect. Shape shifting is extremely painful. She can easily withstand extreme hot and cold but suffers greatly with electricity. Must consume large portions of fat daily. A powerful enough EMP can render her nanites broken and she will be in extreme pain, and all of her abilities will be gone with her weakening to a state weaker than her normal human form until more nanites can be procured. And they are not exactly common.

So, with all of that done.

*Nanite Physiology
-Regenerative Healing Factor
-Invisibility
-Limited Shapeshifting
-Superhuman Strength
-Superhuman Agility
-Superhuman Speed
-Superhuman Reflexes
-Superhuman Stamina
-Superhuman Endurance
-Superhuman Senses(Sight, Smell and Hearing)
-Environmental Adaption
-Weaponized Nanites(Weakens her each time used)

*Adept Hand to Hand Combatant

*Indomitable Will

*Weapons Expert

I made the list as complete as possible. Should this pass, this would be as powerful as Raven gets in the IC unless we count traits like experience ect. And despite the variety of abilities I would place her in the high street level tier.

[New Neros]

I like your analysis and understanding, Rebel.

If you'd like, I have just the shadowy morally gray mad scientist that could pump Raven full of hyper advanced nanites. I'll TG you details.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

You know, the fact that it distributes chemical...somehow it sounds less supernatural in my mind.

Supernatural?

Shadow Hiest? Now don't go taking away any potential titles for my shadow thief arcs.

You've insisted to exhaustion that you don't even like solo arcs, so...

-snip-

I'm amused that, despite everything, the list of powers you're giving Raven is longer than the original

Think I finally found a theme that is almost perfect for Raven.

Haha, no bloody way. I half-expect you guys to have planned these things by this point.

Edit: Finnish put up the song earlier - I can't recall whether it was as a theme for Red or Marionette though off the top of my head?

Edit 2: Pretty d. sure it was Marionette.

Hey, at least you're going through the effort of getting theme songs I don't have one for any of my characters except Kiris.

Admittedly I have one in mind for Icarus, but it's less of a general theme song and more of an event song.

I should look for songs for my other characters sometime.

This is a another song I've thought that would go well as an imaginary AMV of Red and Marionette's relationship, but honestly it could serve as a good Red/Raven teamup AMV as well.

Can someone please just give me money and some animators so I can just direct an animated series of the Young Bloods?

The story of your arc is similar to my arc and somehow I thought "wait, no supernatural?"



Also, Flutterlands, you did say you don't want to do solo arc since you specifically make your characters for together, not alone.

[The Rebel Alliances]

So, how many of us are comic readers? Does anyone have a preference for manga or comics?

I own both but admittedly I my comics collection(while not great but decent) vastly outweighs my current manga collection.

The majority of my comics are DC Comics, but also spans publishers from MARVEL to Valiant, IDW, Boom, Udon and Dynamite. I want to add some Dark Horse(Hellboy) and Image(Spawn) to my collection as well over time.

As for my manga collection, well at one point it was much larger(years ago) but today it consists of a single complete manga series. Love Hina, which is a harem/romantic comedy. It used to include things like Death Note, Naruto and Rurouni Kenshin as well.

As for preference, if I had to pick. I would probably say comics. Since first really diving into comics a few years ago(with some inspiration from my IJ buddies) I have found that I love too many comic characters and the fact that many of my favorite Franchises, such as Star Wars, Street Fighter and Sonic the Hedgehog(coming soon with IDW) have their own comic book runs doesn't hurt either.

I also prefer the production value to comics. I really think that the colored and artistic scenes can add a lot to a story or at least the impact of certain panels. Manga may be cheaper, but they are published on what is essentially recycled newspapers.
