Super Hero High: Prometheus Rising (OOC, Open)

[Corrian]

Fairly sure that right now it's restricted to the students Tyler recruited earlier, so not everyone can participate yet.

And yes, injuries are another concern. Depending on their severity, Sarah might not be able to heal them, and they'd probably hurt even after healing anyway.

Yeah, I meant when it did go more "public" for the other students.

Ah, indeed.

Ugh, so tired today. Never really woke up. Tomorrow I'm getting off the stupid laptop and doing a bunch of RP related things again, instead of listening to soundtracks

[Kershya]

Name: Mannequin, alias Manny Quinn
Gender: Genderless, but having a male body shape
Age: Unknown, maybe 18
Nationality: Unknown
Height: 6 feet
Weight: 175 pounds
Hair: None
Eyes: None
Costume (if any): A hooded cloak that covers his body, shoes, pants, long sleeve shirt, gloves, glasses.
Abilities: Plastic physiology, featureless body, control over featureless humanoid dolls and statues, mannequin creation
Dorm: Vigilante
Brief Bio: He doesn't remember anything when he wake up one day on the floor of the abandoned factory. Other than knowing someone or something stole his whole existence from him. He hide as he looks for the robber. He acted as a simple mannequin for a few days, steal some clothes, then leave. It was until one day that he was spotted. He moved and the crowd freaked out, scared he try to make a distraction for him to escape, causing most of the mannequins in the mall to move and attack, those mannequins that are as featureless as him. He soon try to learn of his powers, of his control over featureless human shape things, and of his ability to make more. All in an effort to catch the thing that stole his life from him, if he only he can remember what sort of life it was.

Then he gotten himself captured, ironically by people looking for some slender person. It might be a coincidence, but he can't really tell. His mind and morals are ambiguous at the moment, a part of his humanity he tries to reclaim, but now he's at a crisis as he is being sent off planet to the space station. Was he truly human, or a mannequin made to think that it was one?

100 pounds and 6 feet? I'm 5'8 1/2" or so in real life, 20, and skinny and I weigh 140 pounds.

I was only guessing the weight of a 6 feet tall solid plastic mannequin. So, 150? 200? 175?

Hmm, if he's LITERALLY a mannequin, he may be lighter. But I figured he's still a person

175 is probably good. Not entirely sure.

He was a person, his whole 'humanness' got stolen by some thing.

I don't know if humanness is wieghable, although if it is, then it can be sold for sweet sweet monies. You should look at a growth chart for boys in their adolescent that can give you ideas of a range of normality and then you can deviate from that to get your desired weight.

Probably to magic users and non human beings can have a use of it. Imagine, a complete and near total disguise for infiltrating human society. Steal a bit more and you'll have enough skin to hide a legion of eldritch beings for an invasion. Or something.

I think it might be time to, after the skip, go ahead and get to work on actually giving my characters something to do rather than evolve at the pace of a snail. To this end, I have been thinking about how to sort of getting core values for my characters when their relatively easy lives wouldn't present much need to find core values. To this end, I have considered the idea of getting a story going where Bramwell gets involved in anonymous vigilantism. My idea is to have a call to adventure in the form of one of a student's relative(s) being kidnapped and basically going to Bramwell to find-out who's responsible (the majority of kidnapping cases being done by relatives meaning that there is a pretty good chance that just looking into the minds of family members would probably find the perpetrator). The perpetrator would be found, and Bramwell would basically get a student who can teleport (possibly the same person, perhaps?) to bring him down to a pay-phone in the area to pose as a concerned resident who has critical pieces of evidence that the police would be able to quickly piece together who was responsible. Does anyone want to volunteer a character for the role of starting this idea?

My idea is that Bramwell is basically going to get engrossed in solving murder and kidnapping cases, becoming anxious and on-edge due to spending all of his nights and free-time solving cases and the stress of looking into the minds of murderers and kidnappers serving to dissuade any contemplation of sleeping due to particularly bad nightmares resulting from looking into their minds too much. This would continue as Bramwell starts to withdraw from social life entirely (Bramwell sees himself as pretty expendable, so he sees absolutely nothing wrong with sacrificing his wellbeing if he thinks there is a good cause that he can advance by doing so, basically resulting in his having a martyr complex) until he passes-out during a simulation due to sleep deprivation. There would continue until a major accident happens and basically forces him to re-evaluate the situation (I am imagining that a perpetrator tricked a person with paranoid schizophrenia into believing that he was responsible for the crime, and it would basically come to a point where Bramwell would see that his attempts at playing the hero in absence of rules and regulations almost got an innocent person killed when the police attempt a search of the person's residence and nearly lets a murderer get-off clean-handed were it not for some lacking foresight on the part of the perpetrator to remove a damning piece of evidence that he used to gaslight the person he intended to frame for the murder). The conclusion that Bramwell reaches in the aftermath of the incident would fail to resolve his martyr complex, but would give him a stern loyalty to the concept of accountability and the necessity of rules and regulations to prevent good people from doing stupid things. That would at least cause him to negatively appraise vigilantism as apathetic at best to the idea of accountability if not antagonistic, and thus starts sleeping again and restarts his social life. (I am just starting to realize that the idea of a telepathic asexual with career prospects in the FBI CID having deteriorating mental health as a result of looking into the minds of murderers sounds similar to the origin of Psycho Mantis).

It's certainly an interesting idea. The problem is that Bramwell would need to get down to the planet to do much good, since it is rather hard to investigate a crime from orbit and all, and any students capable of teleporting would be on the blacklist and watched extra carefully because they could otherwise get dangerous contraband onto the station. If you want to get him involved with Tyler's vigilantes he could use the same method they use, and if not we can work something else out.


Also, time has now been skipped, the halls have been decked, and it is Christmas at Super Hero High.

Alright, I hope Orinon shows up because I have ideas for Josh and Cassie for Christmas

If you want to get him involved with Tyler's vigilantes he could use the same method they use, and if not we can work something else out.

For evidence, Bramwell's telepathy is mainly helpful in kidnappings, which predominately are perpetrated by family members and so the majority could be solved by looking-up the family members' names and addresses, finding the one who did it (more specifically, thinks so), and then basically finding things in their memory that could be useful for the investigation (I.E. the location of the victim in kidnapping cases, the locations of disposed evidence in murder cases). It is just that Bramwell's mother is an FBI special agent in the CID and thus taught him to never use the station's own phones so as to prevent unnecessary identification. My plan was that Bramwell would get a teleporter who is not Sakura to bring him down to pay phones in the local area to make the anonymous call and pose as just assume the identity of person who stumbled upon the evidence. Having put more thought into it, I think there is a work-around in that, in the first instance, Bramwell could just give the relative of the kidnapped person some "suspicions" that would direct the investigators in the right direction. After that, Bramwell would probably just pay Thompson to teleport down to Earth to buy a bunch of disposable cell phones in cash at multiple gas stations (posing as a person on a road trip who had car problems and a dead cell phone and so needs a disposable cell phone to make arrangements for the car and himself, repeating the process ad nausea at multiple gas stations in different areas so as to avoid arousing suspicion of buying a bunch of disposable cell phones at once). This could get the teleportation business out-of-the way at the start.

The alternative is, with Zhenya's stupid attempt at smuggling-out having been retconned away due to pointlessness, that he either came-up with the trick to get past security independently of Tyler's source or was the source of Tyler's trick to get past security in the first place, with the result either way being that he basically gets paid by Bramwell to use the same trick to smuggle disposable cell phones for him past security (not that there should not be anything wrong with disposable cell-phones, just the scale begging questions).

As to the idea of Bramwell working with Tyler's vigilantes, the fact that Bramwell's experience of almost getting innocent person killed and almost letting a murderer get away gets taken as a major warning that vigilantism is of questionable quality would probably inspire his switch from a vague "Neutral Good" to "Lawful Good" (re contextualizing the "With great power comes great responsibility" line from its traditional "You're luckily powerful, so act on it to help others," to "You have power, so show some restraint and keep that power accountable lest to ensure you don't get drunk-off it and do something reckless or evil."), and his penance for nearly letting an innocent person die would, if Tyler counted him among the vigilantes, reveal to security the hole in their security (since that could very well kill that thread, let's not have Bramwell learn about it unless the posters want that to happen or the students are just so bad at hiding what they are doing that even Bramwell notices).

BTW, would you mind if Augustus was a late arrival and noticed what they were doing, but just winked at them and went on his way so as to justify his presence in their future incursions?

I don't remember if Hunter was invited to do the vigilante whatsit thing...

I just thought the same with Kira. Was Kira invited? I think she was. If so, I need to edit my spin off thread IC post to include Kira...

I don't remember who Hunter was friends with, either...

I don't think Hunter was, but I'm not certain.

Cassie, and Kira?

Well, of my characters, anyway.

And if he wasn't friends with Kira, we can say they are at this point
