Nice App Neros, think you could add another weakness though?

Not particularly. What kind of weakness are you looking for? Personal weakness, power weakness, or character flaw? Gravity itself is easy to counter after all.

Ooooooooh
His powers are stronger when he's closer to the ground. Yet weaker when he's in the air. ^^

Ya, something like that could work. And I was thinking power weakness.

Why not bring up parts of the ground, since he controls gravity and can make things float?

There's also Paragon producing gravity at will. An applicable power weakness would be how much mass he could control or the distance he could affect.

Name: Isaac Barnett

Superhero Name:

Age: 146 (Looks 16)

Gender: Male

Race/Species: Vampire

Appearance: http://imgur.com/a/ejOn6

Personality: Kind, positive, and sometimes naive, Isaac has a mindset where he tries to imagine the consequences his actions would have on other people, even if they appear to be enemies, believes in that people can change for the good, but he has no hesitation doing the dirty works if he sees he has no other way out

Biography: Isaac was born to a low class family in the 1880´s, he spent his childhood being playing pranks and playing with his friends, his life changed a cloudy day of september, where Isaac was playing in the deep part of the forest near his town with some friends, when they saw a man resting on some of the trees, he looked like the typical vagabond and the three boys decided to throw rocks at him until he woke up, that was the worst thing they could do.

The vagabond woke up, moving in an unnatural fashion, with his mouth open and his eyes having an empty look on them, as if he was an animal looking for prey. After seeing where they were he ran at an incredible speed, the boys ran back to the city, but the vagabond soon reached up to them. Isaac being the one who was the slowest of the three, was grabbed by the collar and pinned onto the floor where he cried for his friends to come back and help him, only to hear them scream sorry and seeing them run into the further from where he was, after screaming for help a bit more he realized the situation he was in when the vagabond bit him in the neck. It felt as if his life was being sucked out of him, he tried to break free but the vagabond had an impressive strenght despite his appereance. The next thing that happened can only be described as pure and simple luck, while the vagabond was sucking the blood out of Isaac a part of the cloudy sky cleared up and a ray of light passed through the dense trees and reach the vagabond and Isaac. The vagabond started to burn and Isaac used this chance to escape from the vagabond grasp.

Isaac was very confused what had just happened, a man had just tried so suck him dry and started to burn in the sun, it all sounded as the horror story his father used to tell him at night, he decided to go back to the city believing that the worst had happened but still couldnt get the thought that his friends had abandoned him, it filled him with an irrational rage, he wanted revenge againts them, those feelings of revenge made Isaac unaware of the biological changes that were happening in him.

In the dead of the night Isaac, still in the forest heard some sounds, the sound came from his friends, as if they were looking for something they could use as an explanation of what happened to him, Isaac sneaked up on them feeling angrier by each moment he was near them, but the feeling of rage soon changed into hunger, like the man who attacked him he lunged at his friends pinning both on the floor holding them both by the neck, in an unconsious move he bit one of his friends, the more blood he drank from him, the more the feelings of hunger and rage calmed, it was only the moment that his hunger had satiated he realized the situation he was.

He had become a monster and had killed one of his friends, he released the other one from his grasp and escaped from the proximity, he decided he would find a way to become human, even if he took his whole life, now Isaac is still searching for away, having also found out that his kind doesnt age, he has met many people like him, some irrecognizible from normal humans and some that were nothing better than animals, he has also met vampire hunters, and after various close encounters with death stopped explaining his plan on returning back to a human, he has still no clue on how to become human again but he thinks that an answer may lie in pandora city, hoping to cure other people that were involuntarily transformed into vampires.

Race Application

Race Name: Vampires

Location: Europe mostly, but are all over earth

Race Appearance: They look like normal humans but have some different traits like are fangs and grayer skin

Culture/World: There are many types of vampires, the most common trait their share is their feeling of superiority, believing humans to be animals in comparision to them, most of them also suppport the secresy of their existence believing they would be hunted to extinction if their existence was known, in all vampires there is a part of the beast that their race once was, most vampires keep their instinct under control but some others letting it all out, these vampires are usually killed very fast either by their own kind or vampire hunters and can get very dangerous if left alone for a long time.

Vampires are usually very knowlegable in one or type of fields of science and despite their hate of humans, they value literature and the arts. Most vampire Factions have a heirarchy based on the age of the vampire, since older vampires are more powerfull and experienced than younger ones, combined with their usual arrogance, leads to a lot of fights a the faction. A rare type of vampires are the ones who want to actively want to help humans and turn back to normal, tought there are some vampires that dont see humans as below them, they rarely want to help them againts other vampires, out of spite for the deaths of their kind caused by humans or their simply dont care enough about them, much less they would be giving their inmortality and powers, even their weakness to sunlight isnt a big deal enough for them to want to return to normal.

Biography/Lore: Vampire have been on earth since the dawn of man, being the terror that kept them awake and forced them to hide in their homes during the night, in their early days they were nothing more than beasts that hided in caves during the day to attack the unsuspecting people during the night, time passed an they grew more powerful from their age, managing to infiltrate human society without any suspiscion to them, but the beast that they had been in their early days still existed in them, manifesting in them as a irrestible hunger that left many victims, some of them that joined their ranks in undead life, or manifesting as the desire to be above humans, these type of vampires became the tyrants and psycopaths that we know today, using their charms learned by years of experience to obtain positions of power and subjugate their human minons.
But their infiltration couldnt go unnoticed forever, Vampire hunters were created by humans who had survived encounters with them without being turned into them or remorseful vampires who told humans their weakness, soon these people joined and formed their organizations, hunting anyone who fit the description of a vampire, the newer vampires gained a high mortality rate, but the old ones had high positions of power where they could not be suspected without risking some sort of torture, connections with supernatural beings that granted them protection, or were powerful enough to completly eliminate the most obvious weakness.

But even them could make mistakes and little by little, with each century passing their numbers decreased, this caused panic on some of the older an newer generations, that caused them to divide in the ones that wanted to propagate the vampire race, to create an army powerful enough to subjugate or exterminate vampire, and the ones that want to keep the number of vampires low, after all less vampires means less competition for the rest. These ideologys combined with other differing opinions about how to beat their weakness to sunlight, their dependance of the human race, the secret of their race and how they came to be has caused the rise of many vampire factions, especially in Europe where most of vampires live in what can be called a faction war.

Inherent Powers/Abilities:

• Vampiric powers: They have super strenght and speed as well as heightened reflexes, dexterity, Inmortality and regeneration
• Age: The older a vampire is the more powerful he becomes, with age also comes the ability to eliminate some of the most obnoxious abilities like having to count seeds or the inability to cross running water
• Inmortality: Vampire´s inmortality usually gives them time to study some field of science and become familiar with the supernatural creatures that are around them.
  Weaknesses
  [box]
  • Vampiric weakness: These range in burning in sunlight, salt burning their skin, crosses, holy water and holy ground feeling like acid in their presence, forced to count small objects such as salt, pebbles or seeds, cant cross running water like oceans and rivers and have to be invited to a house before being able to enter.
  • Thirst for blood:They cant be free of their thirst for blood, if they go without drinking blood for a period of time their subcounsious will take over and force them to act like an animal.
  • Age: Younger vampires usually are very arrogant, believing themselves to be the best of their kind, this either ends with them gaining humilty or death, one of the many reasons new vampires have a high mortality rate.
  • Vampire hunters and themselves: Vampires are target of many organizations that want to destroy them, they also have the unfortunate tendency to battle one another, causing the majority of vampires to be very wary of using their powers in places with many people
  • Regeneration: Their regeneration cant heal injuries caused by sunlight or death by decapitation/stake trought the heart and the more it has to regenerate the more the vampire thirstier the vampire will get

Included a race app, want to hear altito opinion on the race app since he tought of the concept of vampires first

[Spindle]

I was thinking the gas remains inside him, sustaining him but keeping him in near constant pain. The gas itself wpuld've been launched once, as Germany would've surrendered a week or so later. Otherwose, I'm not sure how the gas would work, although I was hoping others would help me with it

Why would it keep him alive for so long though? Also, what kind of powers would it give him?

What if it caused massive cellular regeneration? So most of his squad-mates simply became massive blobs of cancer, but the character managed to get a mask on quickly enough to only take on a small amount. That would men that, instead of the entirety of his body being infected at once, it only gave him a small dose and so his auto-immune system could cull the rapid cell growth (since its killer cells are multiplying really fast as well) and prevent him from becoming a massive blob of cancer. In terms of powers, it would give him regeneration, peak physical condition, high metabolism, potential shapeshifting/appendage generation and so on, at the cost that he needs to eat an absolute fuck-ton or become weaker.

Ooooooooh
His powers are stronger when he's closer to the ground. Yet weaker when he's in the air. ^^

Why not bring up parts of the ground, since he controls gravity and can make things float?

There's also Paragon producing gravity at will. An applicable power weakness would be how much mass he could control or the distance he could affect.

Just have it being gravity manipulation then, instead of gravity generation. So he can do all kinds of things but he needs a source of gravity first. That explains the height weakness, since inverse square law means that relatively small differences in height can have far larger differences in the effect of gravity.

Cause then that's not the ground. Thats a piece of random rock floating above the ground.
By ground I mean the further he gets from the earths core. So underground he'd be extra powerful. On the ground he'd be normal and in the air or a high building he would be weaker. mountains and stuff could also come into play.

(I know that's not really how gravity works but perhaps something that effects his powers could come from the earths core or something?)

Name: Veronica Simmons

Superhero Name: Iron Angel

Age:18

Gender: Female

Race/Species: Metahuman

Appearance:

Suit #3

Personality: Overconfident as any teenager going out and kicking the butts of two bit gangsters and muggers goes. Carefree and cocky due to success in dealing with both school and kicking butt at night while maintaining a social life. Brash when it comes to split second decisions, impulsive and jokes around with friends and thinks humor is a good icebreaker.

Biography:
When Veronica was born she weighed in as much as triplets put together. Growing up she had always felt slower when running for school requirements and had never learned to swim properly due to her sinking quickly when thrown in shallow water. Her parents always tried to coddle her and protect her from everything knowing she was unique but not quite as much as they expected. After an accident in which Victoria was climbing a tree and a branch broke under her weight she managed to only fall a few short feet and stay floating in the air. Shocked Veronica ended up going even higher and quickly gathered that she was flying. After figuring out she could fly her parents had tried to tell her to not use her ability in public because they wanted for her to live a normal life, having witnessed the horrors that were brought upon humanity by aliens.

As a child knowing that she could fly caused trouble for her parents when she tried to practice indoors and ended up causing a lot of trouble for her parents with wall repairs and the occasional dent in furniture, or replacing it altogether. Growing up knowing she was different caused Veronica to strive for even more acceptance by her peers and she would always make sure that she acted like everybody else to fit in. However away from peers and in the dead of night Veronica would practice her flying until she had mastered it as best she could. To which her parents hated but didn't want to discourage Veronica from doing lest they be too harsh on her.

Throughout middle and high school Veronica had tried her hardest to fit in but in her second year at high school she couldn't stand the bullying of some pigheaded idiots to a group of girls and decided to pick a fight with them. Barely winning the fight and being suspended Veronica ended up with free time and a newfound passion to help people that looked like they needed it. This caused her to save up to buy supplies to make a rough costume, making light that she just made herself a hero. Going around her area at night to beat wrongdoers and general scumbags Veronica went through may different costumes and clothes in her self made crusade to help people. Eventually saving up to get a sturdier material to make a better costume out of and saving up for a helmet to be able to see when the weather was a little choppy and to protect her face better Veronica finally got the look she wanted.
Powers/Abilities:

• Flight:Flight capabilities of superman minus the supersonic speeds. (Can go top speed of 440MPH in a dive)
• Cellular Density: Passive ability that allowed her body to withstand more force, IE take more punches, withstand a few more G's from midair turn.
• Crafty: More out of necessity than brilliance after getting her extraordinary abilities she had to be able to make and patch what she makes. (Costume and helmet)

Weaknesses

• Windy weather: She can't fly in extrodinarily gusty conditions as she loses most control in flight.
• Hotheadedness: Gets easily provoked and can't control her smartass mouth when provoked.
• Drowning/Swimming: Cellular density, although making her stronger makes Veronica much heavier and unable to properly swim and can drown easily.
• Overwhelming distractions: Flying uses up a lot of concentration in keeping track of up and down and when presented with something ver distracting Veronica can fall or fly in an unintended direction

Equipment:
Homemade Insulated G-Suit
Homemade Flight Helmet

Likes: Going fast, being sociable, ice cream.
Dislikes: Jerks, traffic, rainy days.

Name: Isaac Roth

Superhero Name: Cambion

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Race/Species: Human-Eluzhari Hybrid

Appearance: Isaac

Personality: Charming, smart, friendly... if you met Isaac at school, you wouldn't think him capable of shoplifting, let alone supervillainy. Although he hides it well, he has a great deal of disdain for humanity, stemming from his troubled childhood. Although he has many friends and a girlfriend, the only person that he truly cares a great deal about is his twin sister, who he seeks to protect from the world at all costs. Other than that, he is devoted to serving his father, and willing to do almost anything he is asked. In his normal life, he enjoys reading, playing baseball, and science.

Biography: Gatlin, Texas, 2001. A local woman, Jessica Randall, is kidnapped by a group of cultists, referring to themselves as the Church of the Outside. The Church, notorious in the area as demon worshipers, had supposedly kidnapped the woman to be used in an upcoming ritual. What exactly the ritual was, the police were unable to find out; when a few days later, they tracked the woman down, she was wandering through a field, dazed and confused. There were no signs that she'd been assaulted, sexually or otherwise, and she couldn't remember a thing. A few months later, mysteriously, it was discovered that Jessica was pregnant, leading her and her husband to believe she had been raped, despite the lack of any evidence suggesting so. The realization caused their marriage to fall apart; her husband blamed Jessica for what had happened, and she blamed herself. Several months later, Jessica gave birth to twins: a boy, Isaac, and a girl, Lucy.

The two children did not grow up in a happy home. They were treated as outsiders, strangers in their own home. Their father, in particular, hated them, always aware that they were another man's children. An alcoholic, he often beat them when they misbehaved or when he was angry, especially Isaac. Their mother didn't care much; although she never beat her children, she never tried to stop her husband from doing so. The more he was beaten, the more Isaac misbehaved... the more he misbehaved, the more he was beaten. It wasn't long before he started to hate his parents, and spend most of his time alone. By the time he was twelve, he avoided home as much as possible, and when he was home, the only person he would talk to was Lucy.

It was around that time that Isaac first began hearing voices. One voice, in particular, that he often talked to when he was alone. It was nice to him, seemed to care for him... it was really one of his only friends. What was more, it showed him things about himself that he didn't even know. He could make things out of shadows... little objects, flowers, even little creatures that would play with him. What was more, he could make people do things... all he had to do was ask in a certain way, and they'd listen to him, even if they wouldn't have otherwise. He often asked the voice why he could do these things, but he never really got a straight answer; before long, he would always get distracted and move on. As much as he wanted to share his abilities with everyone, especially Lucy, the voice told him not to... they wouldn't understand.

On his thirteenth birthday, the voice finally explained everything to Isaac. He and his twin sister were not normal people... not entirely human. Their mother, as they knew, was of their world... their father, another one entirely. He was the ruler of a place called Eluz, in another realm, and the abilities that Isaac had were inherited from him. He and Lucy had been born into the human world for a purpose... one that would be revealed in time. The voice promised Isaac a great many things. That it would show him how powerful he was. That it would protect him and his sister from anyone that wanted to hurt them. That it would make sure that, in time, they could protect themselves. That it would take him to meet his father. And all he had to do was one little task for it... kill his parents. He did it without a single thought.

With his parents gone, everything got better. The investigation into their deaths didn't last very long, and he was never even a suspect. He and Lucy were adopted by a a rich older couple in Massachusetts, Garry and Marcia Roth and started attending an excellent private school. He never thought to question how all of it was arranged... it just seemed like a big coincidence. Eventually, the voice explained further to him... it was, in fact, his father, and he had been watching over his children since they were born. Over the years, he had developed a sizable group of human worshipers on Earth, and had desired for his children to lead them... Lucy, however, was too human, and thus the task fell to Isaac. More thrilled than anything else, Isaac enthusiastically began leading his father's followers, using his powers to do so.

As of 2016, Isaac is a sophomore at Rosemary Academy in Wallingford, Massachusetts, along with his sister. By day, he's the captain of the school baseball team, and just a generally popular guy. By night, he does his father's bidding and occasionally just crime for fun as the supervillain Cambion. His status as a supervillain is not known to anyone other than his father. He is also unaware of his sister's status as a superhero.

Powers/Abilities:

• Eluzhari Form: Isaac is capable of taking on a form more closely resembling his father's race, one which he always uses when acting as Cambion. In this form, his powers and senses are heightened, and his physical strength is increased. In regards to his appearance, his skin darkens, his hair pales, his eyes glow red, his nails elongate into claws, and he grows both a pair of horns and a pair of wings.
• Rift Manipulation: The ability to open and close dimensional rifts. Rifts within a single dimension can be maintained easily, although the further the distance between the entry and exit, and the larger the size of the rift, the more energy it takes to maintain. Rifts between dimensions are much more difficult... simply opening them takes a great deal of energy, and they can only be maintained for, at most, a few minutes before they close.
• Soul Energy Absorption: Isaac can gain energy by draining the souls of those around him. This can either be done passively, with very minor effects on the victim but with much less energy gained, or more actively, gaining much more energy at the expense of the victim's well-being. The effects on the victim range from headache and fatigue to much worse, and one who has their soul drained entirely is almost certain to die.
• Subordination: Isaac possesses the power to bend the minds of others to his will, forcing them to do his bidding regardless of the cost to themselves. With this power, he can bring any number of people under his control at once; however, they must be nearby, and the more people he uses it on at once, the less control he has over each individual person. While most humans easily fall victim, those with particularly strong wills or mental disorders are more troublesome, and those with telepathy or other mental superpowers are very much resistant against him.
• Shadow Constructs: Isaac can create tangible, physical objects out of shadow, and, if desired, bring them to life. Most commonly, he uses this ability to create weapons for himself, as well as animal companions, usually dogs, to fight alongside him, or just keep him company. The shadows remain for an indefinite period, dissipating either when destroyed or when Isaac chooses to allow them to fade.

Weaknesses

• Human Form: While his powers still work in his human form, they are not nearly as strong, and his physical strength is that of a human teenager. As such, he can rather easily be defeated in any kind of combat against other super powered beings.
• Soul Hunger: Much of Isaac's power requires energy derived from mortal souls, often more energy than his own soul can provide. As such, he must feed off the souls of others to maintain his strength. This is why he tends to hang around with groups of friends... while they don't realize it, he slowly leeches off their souls, taking a small enough amount to go unnoticed. If he runs low on energy, his powers grow weaker, and can stop working entirely.
• Light: Isaac's main combat related power relies on shadows. Shadows are an absence of light. Therefore, light is their main weakness. While he can hold shadows together even when it's light out, the brighter and more direct the light, the more energy it takes, and light that is too bright can destroy them entirely.

Equipment: None; any equipment needed can be formed from shadow.

Likes: Lucy, Eluzhar, Eluz, Baseball, Reading, The Outside
Dislikes: Humanity, His Parents, Softball, Flourescent Colors
Theme Song: Emperor's New Clothes by Panic! At the Disco

Additional information: None I can think of.

Race Name: Tharganians, Thargans

Location: Thargan Prime

Race Appearance: Thargans tend to be either Red Skinned, blue skinned or Green Skinned, and they are all larger than humans, even the shorter Thargans are trypically nearly 7 feet tall, while the taller Thargans can be 20 feet or above. Typically the Males are shorter yet muscularly built while the females are taller, though that isn't always the case. As a race Thargans are prone to genetic mutations, with a good number of the population have some sort of genetic difference, most commonly extra arms or tails. Horns can vary from simple to ornate and complex.


Culture/World: Thargan's are a fierce yet honest warrior people bound by a strict code of honour. One's code differs depending on one's birth Star and one's colour. It is said that the stars hold the spirits of great warriors who look poorly on those who do not follow the code they were born to, as a result one's code is usually tailored to the life of the great hero in question. Changing one's code is a difficult, yet possible. It requires a ritual of clensing and then a ritual of proving.

Thargans eat much and drink much. They can eat almost anything and often competitions spring from whom can eat the most. Food and chefs have an almost mythical place in Thargan society, the latter being persons of great honour in their culture. Almost every Thargan can cook, but those who can do it well are invaluable indeed. Storytellers or "Carvers" are also valuable.

Finally, naming is another key element of Thargan culture. Their first name is their given Honour name , and is impolite to address the subject as unless you are of a higher rank or importance, as a result all children are refered to by this name. The second name is their Chosen name, chosen on the fifteenth birthday this name has to begin with the last letter of the honour name and end with the first letter of their honour name, so they never forget their debt of honour to their family. The Chosen name is what they are to be referred to as. Their Star name is added at the end of that. The star name is never used to refer to anyone due to confusion it would cause. Finally their family name, which is rarely used or given for any purpose other than categorization and bureaucracy.

Thargan's who have titles will insist upon it's use.

If Thargan's love anything more than drinking and eating, it's fighting. Thargan fights rarely are to the death and often are more for the sake of fun than anything. Thargans often underestimate their considerable strength too.

Biography/Lore: The first Thargan legends speak of the Alleshai. A group of beings who lived to create and tinker. They say that the Thargans were created by these beings, who enlisted them in the Alleshai army to cow their foes and crush their enemies. But soon the creations of the Alleshai turned against them. Thargan lore speaks of Twelve races in the Milky way whom were the children of the Alleshai, and how they will one day return to seek vengence and to subdue the gallaxy.

What we know for sure is that the Thargans were not natives of Thargan prime. The Thargans came to the world with very little, yet were able to survive and thrive. From the survival they were united by a Thargan named Argekerraz Zendara. She was the first of the great spirits and it is said that those who are born in her star and that follow her code will be destined for greatness. Those who break her code will steal the joy from many. Argekerraz proved this as she slipped into Tyrrany in her later rule. Thus her assassin Xynthec Cassax, became the second great spirit. For those whom would exploit others must be eliminated.

Those under the Cassax Star are said to be in conflict with those under the Novik Star. Khen Novik was the bodyguard of Zendara whom died protecting her from Cassax. Those under that star must protect those they love above all.

Then the next ruler was Slyvay Yosvas. Yosvas was selfish, yet effective, restoring much of the damage done by the final years of Zendara rule. Yosvases are bound to put their own needs first, since the needs of others will be best fufilled by themselves. Yosvas was ousted by Iova Auri whom preached self sacrifice and selflessness.

This continued for years upon years, with various individuals taking the helm of Thargan history. Not all the figures became Great Spirits. However in the Early 8000's the Thargan King Drotha Aisked abjugated his power to a constitution and a new president, Askvajak Kuva. With the new democracy at the helm, Thargan's are now traveling across the stars under the "Stellar Exploration" drive. One blue ball in particular has caught the eyes of the Thargan parliment...

Inherent Powers/Abilities:
(Use this bulleted list within the box to list your race's powers. Yes, you may have more than 3 powers/abilities, just add more bullets using two brackets and a star. Descriptions accompanying your powers would be great as well!)

• Incredible Strength: Thargans have vast strength and durability. This strength and power goes up the more they eat. Well fed Thargans are strong Thargans.
• Star Children: The Thargans have some unknown connection with the stars, and as a result can manipulate and generate star based energies. In addition, this also seems to be the reason they can eat almost anything, including inorganic matter. They seem to be truly feeding some stellar energy within.
• Mutations: Thargans can have a whole variety of powers, depending on their mutation.

Weaknesses

• Thargan Hunger Thargan's without food are weak.
• Tharganian Honour Tharganian codes can be exploitable to canny opponents.
• Thargan Mutation This can also potentially weaken a Tharganian too.

Is my species app accepted?

Also, I have a question - can one roleplay wthout a character, insted focusing on different one-time characters within my apped factions? Like, having only one perspective would really hinder my plans for the Svanians.

I think I'll make my own separate war opera or something. Ignore the Innitzer app I made earlier, I changed my mind on that.

I suppose so, but beware, that may limit interaction abilities. Though I would prefer that you describe each of the one-time chars when you are rping as them.

After the IC's up, I know what I plan to do with Richard / Speed Demon.

But as for Quaestio and Aleam, I have no idea. Should I have them stir up trouble somewhere, and like, the Justice Queens or whoever intervene?

Organize interactions with other villains, perhaps?

IC will come today, as promised, but first I need to get these apps up into a list, because I feel that at this point, an archive where you all would just post your apps would be too hard to sort through.

[Vulkata II]

So what about the villains? Are they still temporarily banned? Just curious btw

[The Starlight]

Yes, they still are.

Yes, they still are.

Alright thanks

To The Starlight:

Heer is in the Milky Way Galaxy, though on the other side of the center in relation to Earth. About 50 000 lightyears away.

And yes, I know that it will limit my interaction abilities, but it will hopefully be a one-off thing for a major arc, after which I will claim a single character for playing with the rest of the RP.

Faction Name: The Blood Bank (Alignment: Lawful Neutral)

Location: Zurich, Switzerland (HQ) - has several branch offices in other countries.

Level of Technology: Modern Tech, Arithmancy (Math Magic, allowing for e.g. clockpunk, teslapunk, and enchanted bank notes), Blood Magic (lending a new meaning to blood debts and allowing them to run the Boneyard)
The Boneyard: By splicing select plants with freshly harvested human bones, they are able to keep the bone marrow alive and contiunally harvest fresh blood. While not as tasty or vibrant as true human blood, it is enough to sustain a vampire, and more compatible with their remaining human biology than animal blood. The harvested bones need to be replaced at times, but last about 3 times longer than the remaining human lifespan of the host. They try to optimize the process, but their only true success so far has been in creating vampire blood - which is rather unpopular among vampires as it shifts the drinker's appetites from human blood to that of other vampires - and fresh from a true vampire it is still tastier. The one good use it has is reviving a vampire with its own blood, previously harvested from cultivated bone samples.

Faction Biography/Lore: Founded by Vampires in the 19th century, the Blood Bank deals in money, blood and favors. While a bit shady at times -well, all the time- they do not want to "flip to the game board".
They see their vampiric compulsion to count little things as an asset, not a weakness - with specialized training they become masters of pattern recognition and accounting. They are also able to understand Math Magic on a deeper level than most humans - though they still often reach the point where they get something working and do not know why it does. It does not particularly bother them so long as they can replicate the result.
They are decent bankers and investment brokers. Usually their investments are fairly conservative, but sometimes their vampiric megalomania or overreliance on arithmantic prophecies gets the better of them.

Population Size: Approx. 350 Employees and approx. 1500 customers - all vampires.

Army Size: Approx. 50 Vampire Knights in power armor and 5 in exo suits, Approx. 500 ghouls and 50 crypt horrors, trained to the level of dogs. Given that they usually play it safe, the army is mostly defensive.

Lore on Ghouls:
Ghouls are what happens when you revive a recent non-vampire corpse with vampire blood, or when a vampire goes too long through interchanging periods of all animal blood diet and heavy starvation.
They have all the powers of a vampire, but none of the mind - intellectucally they are on the level of chimps or dogs. They are carnivores, but do not exclusively target humans. The same epigenic changes that allow their diet are also transferred to all those who the ghouls infect - transforming them into more ghouls. If a ghoul is given the blood of a vampire, it will try to eat them - but in combination with blood magic will instead become beholden to them. If a ghoul is given vampire blood that is genetically identical to its own, it will become an independent vampire. Ghouls are able to push their intelligence back to human levels, and with vampire blood even beyond - but doing so requires a diet of human blood and human brains. Uran legends of zombie outbreaks are usually ghouls who are just lucid enough to know who to eat to return to a full human capacity - and often lose their new mind when their new human conscience looks upon their past deeds.
Crypt Horrors are created by feeding a bunch of ghouls vampire blood and having them eat each other - the result is a monstrosity, forever beholden to the vampiric donor via blood magic.
Another way is to start with corpses, build a body, submerge it in vampire blood and close the gaps with high-level blood magic. Its strength and endurance are that of a dozen normal ghouls.
It is possible to build a sapient crypt horror if you start with a living vampire, but most vampires find such oversized bodies impractical.


Also, I found this guy on 9gag

Fuck, there's should be a super hero based off this guy, tattoo artiste by day, vigilante by night. He has a small tattoo shop in a rough part of town where he gathers Intel on the criminal underground from his various "shadier" clients. After he finished his day job, he switches the tattoo pen off for various weapons and defends his city. His alias is "black ink"

Suit #3

Personality: Overconfident as any teenager going out and kicking the butts of two bit gangsters and muggers goes. Carefree and cocky due to success in dealing with both school and kicking butt at night while maintaining a social life. Brash when it comes to split second decisions, impulsive and jokes around with friends and thinks humor is a good icebreaker.

Biography:
When Veronica was born she weighed in as much as triplets put together. Growing up she had always felt slower when running for school requirements and had never learned to swim properly due to her sinking quickly when thrown in shallow water. Her parents always tried to coddle her and protect her from everything knowing she was unique but not quite as much as they expected. After an accident in which Victoria was climbing a tree and a branch broke under her weight she managed to only fall a few short feet and stay floating in the air. Shocked Veronica ended up going even higher and quickly gathered that she was flying. After figuring out she could fly her parents had tried to tell her to not use her ability in public because they wanted for her to live a normal life, having witnessed the horrors that were brought upon humanity by aliens.

As a child knowing that she could fly caused trouble for her parents when she tried to practice indoors and ended up causing a lot of trouble for her parents with wall repairs and the occasional dent in furniture, or replacing it altogether. Growing up knowing she was different caused Veronica to strive for even more acceptance by her peers and she would always make sure that she acted like everybody else to fit in. However away from peers and in the dead of night Veronica would practice her flying until she had mastered it as best she could. To which her parents hated but didn't want to discourage Veronica from doing lest they be too harsh on her.

Throughout middle and high school Veronica had tried her hardest to fit in but in her second year at high school she couldn't stand the bullying of some pigheaded idiots to a group of girls and decided to pick a fight with them. Barely winning the fight and being suspended Veronica ended up with free time and a newfound passion to help people that looked like they needed it. This caused her to save up to buy supplies to make a rough costume, making light that she just made herself a hero. Going around her area at night to beat wrongdoers and general scumbags Veronica went through may different costumes and clothes in her self made crusade to help people. Eventually saving up to get a sturdier material to make a better costume out of and saving up for a helmet to be able to see when the weather was a little choppy and to protect her face better Veronica finally got the look she wanted.
Powers/Abilities:

• Flight:Flight capabilities of superman minus the supersonic speeds. (Can go top speed of 440MPH in a dive)
• Cellular Density: Passive ability that allowed her body to withstand more force, IE take more punches, withstand a few more G's from midair turn.
• Crafty: More out of necessity than brilliance after getting her extraordinary abilities she had to be able to make and patch what she makes. (Costume and helmet)

Weaknesses

• Windy weather: She can't fly in extrodinarily gusty conditions as she loses most control in flight.
• Hotheadedness: Gets easily provoked and can't control her smartass mouth when provoked.
• Drowning/Swimming: Cellular density, although making her stronger makes Veronica much heavier and unable to properly swim and can drown easily.
• Overwhelming distractions: Flying uses up a lot of concentration in keeping track of up and down and when presented with something ver distracting Veronica can fall or fly in an unintended direction

Equipment:
Homemade Insulated G-Suit
Homemade Flight Helmet

Likes: Going fast, being sociable, ice cream.
Dislikes: Jerks, traffic, rainy days.

For some reason, I want to make a love interest for your character.

So I might do a cross between SHIELD and X-COM under the de jure command of NATO. Any thoughts?
