I really don't know what to do at this point, I'm kind of lost in between those that actually have resources or knowledge of the world.

What's mostly bothering me is that she doesn't know what capestagram is, so she doesn't know how about Heroes Inc. either.
Ah, the great bane of alien people.

Race Application


Race Name: Glacians

Location: Antarctica, formerly the land of Frosia

Race Appearance: Girl

Guy

People

Culture/World: The Glacians understandably worship Ice, and worship the god of Winter Urubak. The Glacians are now refugees in a foreign world and this has made their once noble warrior race, more war like and pragmatic. They have become almost cult like in their desire to please their god and return to their home world. The Glacians still hold to many of their core beliefs however. They are vegetarians and have a great respect for nature and embrace its harsh reality. They also believe in direct tactics, though they have abandoned those ideals recently. They will still always accept a fair fight if their foe demands it.

Biography/Lore:
The Glacian people were once peaceful and prosperous, thriving in their home world of Frosia. The land was frozen and harsh, but it was perfect for the arctic creatures that dwelt there. However their millennia of peace was suddenly shattered by a horrible realization. At the center of their planet was a monster of unbelievable power. This monster, Nurikar, was made of pure fire in the form of a dragon. He broke from his endless slumber without warning, revealing himself to the mortals on the surface.

The Glacians had no hope in fighting back this monster, so they turned to their only hope, their god Urubak. Urubak however was warlike and greedy and far from merciful. He agreed to save the pleading mortals, but only for the promise of service. He opened a hole in the dimension and transported them to another world, telling them to conquer it in his name of face his wraith.

Now the Glacian survivors are stranded in Antarctica, as they begin to rebuild. They long for home and have begun expanding into desperate acts to reclaim their home and avoid their lord's wraith. For decades they have been capturing and experimenting on humans to learn their ways. Ever since the release of magical abilities, the Glacians have seen their opportunity to take over the world in the newly created supers, and they plan to use it.

Inherent Powers/Abilities:
  • Longevity: The Glacians live longer lives than human beings and stay in their peak form for much longer, gaining their peak physical condition earlier and keeping it longer.
  • Ice Magic: They have the elemental control over ice and can use it in various ways including ice creation, the ability to make living creatures out of ice, such as ice giants or ice trolls.
  • Freezing Heart: The Glacians can freeze(both literally and metaphorically) the hearts of mortal creatures, enslaving them to their will.


Weaknesses
  • Heat: Fire and heat are dangerous for the Glacians, not only can it mitigate their powers, it can kill them.
  • Love(Vomits): When someone is possessed by the Glacians, strong emotional triggers can break the magical hold.
  • Body Temperature: Glacians struggle to control their body temp, which means pretending to be human can be difficult and they have to be careful about physical contact.

DONE.

Character Application


Name: Gabriel Thane

Superhero Name: Void

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Race/Species: Superhuman

Appearance: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/mas ... 0425180936

Personality: Calm and happy.

Biography: Gabriel was born in the US to a fairly loving and caring family. Life was fairly normal, he had a decent job and a good outlook on life. Things changed for the weird when the Box opened and gave a bunch of people superpowers. He was among them. And upon experimenting, he found that he hit the motherload. He was stronger and faster than he'd ever been, but found that being outside was... Slightly uncomfortable. Which he found weird as he guessed that his powers worked from the sun. And then it went down and he felt relieved. In fact he felt great. Which he thought was strange. Then he felt loose. Like an uncoiled rope. It was a strange feeling. He could twist and bend his limbs in any direction and even change their shape.

It was awesome. His senses were sharper, and despite it being night, he could see just as well as if it was day. And how fortunate of him to find that some Xanthiens were kidnapping people overnight. He quickly put a stop to that. Their weapons did very little to deter him. He swatted them away like one would an annoying bug, and freed the people. This was his first experience with "Voiding out" as he calls it. After coming dangerously close to butchering the aliens, he caught himself and stopped. And instead surrendered them to the government. Sure, their fates likely weren't going to be much better than what he was going to do, but his conscience was clear. And they even offered him a job. One that paid easily triple what he was making now.

So Gabe began working with the US government. Mostly as muscle against aliens and as potential to stop a large group of supers should the need arise. Life was pretty simple for the next half decade. He intimidated aliens and kept them at bay in secret as per his job, and was paid quite handsomely for his services. Until the day he met an alien who more or less took his intimidation tactics as a courting gesture... It was going to be a fuuuun day, that much was for sure.

Powers/Abilities:
  • Supernatural Condition: Gabe is strong enough to lift an aircraft carrier and fast enough to circle the globe in an hour.
  • Umbrakinesis: Or rather, Darkness manipulation. Gabe's powers extend from the lack of light, allowing him to create constructs, most commonly, tendrils. While he's still a force to be reckoned with during the day, it's at night when he's at his most powerful.
  • Regeneration: Gabe is capable of regrowing limbs and healing moderate injuries in a matter of minutes. At night this ability is greatly increased to heal most any injury within seconds.

    Night only powers.
  • Absolute Condition: At night, Gabriel's powers are increased exponentially. His already impressive strength is amplified many times.
  • Shapeshifting: While at Night, Gabe becomes pure darkness and as such, can do whatever he wants with his body. Stretch and coil, create semi-living constructs, ect.


Weaknesses
  • THE LIGHT! IT BUUUURRRNS: While Gabe is much weaker during the day because of the sun, intensified and directed light is very painful and weakens him.
  • The Darkness Within: Literally and figuratively. Gabe normally channels the literal "Inner darkness" meaning the actual lack of light inside someone's body for his powers to work during the day. At night however, he runs the risk of "Voiding out" and losing control of his mind. That, and puncture wounds allow for light to enter his body, decreasing the amount of darkness, weakening him.


Equipment: None

Likes: Kicking ass. Eating. Video games. Sleeping. His girlfriend. Meat.
Dislikes: Whiners. Members of the Puritan Anti-fun Brigade.
Theme Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTMfYpXl-1k


Additional information:

RP Sample:It's me you... Dip. Yeah.


Character Application]


Name: Xiuhcoatl

Superhero Name: N/A

Age: 29

Gender: Female

Race/Species: Genetically Enhanced Space Dragon

Appearance: http://i65.tinypic.com/s0wuhj.jpg

Personality: A tad bit arrogant, though well meaning and very kind.

Biography: Xiuh was born in a laboratory. She was intended to be male, but the scientists in charge of the project insisted that making her female would not only be easier, but it would be easier to clone her. As such she grew up closely monitored and tested. Once she hit puberty, her powers that they spent so much time working on came to fruition. She was the most powerful member of their species by a long shot. And would provide excellent protection against large space rocks and potential alien invaders. Once they got a reputation for being just simply too difficult to invade, they decided to spread their influence. Their influence included a little blue planet that went by the name of Earth. They had heard rumors that not only did the planet fight off the Xanthiens with primitive technology, they had extremely powerful warriors.

The latter part was what Xiuh was after. Since she had started doing this, she had to fight other aliens and was bored out of her mind. She wanted someone stronger to not only give her a reason to have all this power, butt act as a suitable mate. Once they entered the Sol system and came within the moon's distance from Earth, they were met with contact with the humans who told them they were not accepting visitors at the moment. Despite the human's insistence that they leave, they didn't and Gabriel was sent in. The human man had no issue smacking around the rest of the ship's crew, but she found the man to be exactly what she was looking for. That, and she wanted to confirm the rumors of how difficult it was to invade the planet.

Instead of being terrified of Gabriel's power, she took it as a challenge, and before the two could get into it, a bet was made between the two species. If she won, they would get the Earth, if he won, they would leave. Xiuh didn't care about that, she wanted to see if Gabriel lived up to the rumors.

Powers/Abilities:

  • Solar Empowerment: Xiuh is powered by the sun thanks to extensive genentic manipluation by her species. Making her extremely fast, strong, and capable of projecting this energy.
  • Supernatural Condition: She's stronger and faster than Gabriel, during the day at least.


Weaknesses
  • Night: Pretty obvious. Her powers come from the sun. They wane without it.
  • Ice/Extreme cold: As powerful as she is, her base physiology is reptilian, meaning she's vulnerable to being frozen/extreme cold in general.


Equipment: None

Likes: Gabriel. Meat, to a degree that makes Gabriel blush. Fighting.
Dislikes: Whiners. People who rag her about her appearance.
Theme Song: ...I'll get back to you on this.


Additional information:

RP Sample: Still me!

Race Application


Race Name: Nari

Location: The Kingdom of Nimeter, in Hell.

Race Appearance: The Nari are mostly human-like in their appearance, with a few key differences. All of them have at least one pair of horns which are curly to various degrees, and sometimes more, with certain Nari having up to four different pairs of horns with different designs on their head. Most of them also have small, non-functional bat-like wings on their back, vestiges from a time when their people could fly easily. Due to the darkness of their environment, Nari are universally of a pale complexion, with their eyes being also adapted to see better in the dark. Their teeth are particularly sharp.

Culture/World: The Nari are a people that used to be noble and dignified, and while some of that remains, they have gradually become cold and taciturn. Most of them are willing to trust one another, but are exceedingly cautious of strangers and foreigners, nearly to the point of paranoia. As a society they do not adapt well to change and thus seek to keep things the way they are. They are avid followers of the law and on most cases shun anyone who does not follow the rules, unless it's for the good (read: stasis) of their society. Their inventiveness is not exceptional, but they make great warriors, builders and machinists. Because of his role in their survival and his continued protection of Nimeter, which is where the Nari reside, they revere the great spirit of the Shadow Lion, Ghelkataster.

Biography/Lore: The Nari were not originally inhabitants of the demonic plane, but rather a prosperous civilization from a distant world, on the brink of interplanetary expansion. But before they were able to expand, a hostile visitor from beyond the stars arrived, a creature of a mechanical nature who was as powerful as it was aggressive. The Nari did not think of it as a great threat until it was too late, and even as they mobilized their armies against the invader, they were no match for it. Slowly, the union of city-states that was the Nari civilization was dismembered, with each city-state being destroyed by the enemy. Eventually, the only city-state remaining was Nimeter. King Lemnas was desperate, but an ancient creature reached out to him, the Shadow Lion Ghelkataster. It offered to save them from the encroaching terror if they would wage a war for him. The despaired King accepted the terms, and the spirit used its power to bring all of Nimeter's inhabitants to another plane... Hell.

It turned out that Ghelkataster intended for the Nari to destroy one of the demonic principalities of Hell and reclaim its territory for the spirit. And after a long and bloody war, they did just that. The Demon Lord lay dead at King Lemnas' feet, and the territory was for the Nari to inhabit. It was not a war that Lemnas was proud of starting, nor was it easy, but it was a battle they could win, unlike the doomed struggle taking place in their homeworld. Ghelkataster made his home in the forest north of where the city of Nimeter landed, the place being surrounded by strange beasts so that none could visit him if he did not wish so, while the Nari attempted to rebuild their lost civilization. Naturally, demons allied with the principality that the Nari had taken were none too pleased, but as the Nari were under the protection of the Shadow Lion, none dared make a move against them, and grudges were forgotten through centuries of relative peace. Though their lifestyle was forever altered and the atmosphere of Hell slowly warped them through the generations, turning them into demons, they developed into a strong kingdom, the capital city being renamed to Lemnas in honor of the King who saved the Nari from the brink of extinction.

Inherent Powers/Abilities:
  • Umbrakinesis: The main ability of the Nari. They have the power to use, generate and manipulate shadows and darkness for their purposes.
  • Regeneration: Due to the physical superiority of demonkind, upon becoming demons the Nari developed a regenerative healing factor that allows them to heal from damage at a moderate pace, greatly increasing their survibability. By combining it with their Umbrakinesis to absorb shadows and empower themselves, they become capable of even re-attaching or regenerating limbs and surviving certain mortal wounds.
  • Natural Weaponry: Nari have sharp teeth and powerful bites, allowing them to use their teeth to attack if necessary.
  • Innate Lord Sphere: An ability that only some Nari develop, believed to have originated through Ghelkataster's meddling. It is mostly present in individuals of royal descent, and consists of an area in which a Nari's physical condition is augmented to supernatural levels, and where they are allowed to teleport and move objects with their will. It is usually limited to their body, but can be spread at the cost of their energy.


Weaknesses
  • Light: As the element opposite of darkness, light has the potential to overpower and greatly damage Nari. They are at odds against light users, and in a disadvantage when in areas full of natural or artificial light.
  • Holy Artifacts: Due to their demonic nature, Nari are particularly weak to many artifacts that can be considered 'holy' or 'blessed', be they holy water, crosses, blessed weapons, et cetera. Such artifacts can also suppress the abilities of a Nari through various means that depend on the artifact in question.
  • Lawfulness: Because they are a very law-minded people, Nari are very mindful of the promises they make and are never willing to go back on their word, going to great lengths to make good on what they say they will do, and it causes them great distress when they fail to do so.


Additional information: They like imp stew. It tastes like chicken.


Character Application


Name: Lizgaltrim Drakan

Superhero Name: N/A

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Race/Species: Nari

Appearance: Here. While using Nari powers, he manifests a pair of horns which curl back around his ears, the tips ending up parallel to his chin. He also has a striped black and brown tail, and a small pair of vestigial black wings on his back.

Personality: Lizgaltrim is a kind person, always willing to help. While he is cautious, owing to his past, he can still be quick to trust others sometimes, especially when it looks like they are in need. He's generally reserved, but greatly appreciates company, having spent several years by himself in the wilds of Hell. A bit of an idealist, he rejects the standards of ruthlessness and immutability of his family and his kingdom.

Biography: Lizgaltrim Drakan was born as the seventh prince of Nimeter, home to the Nari and one of the many kingdoms that exist within Hell. Given that he was the seventh in line to the throne, little was expected of him, but he was given the same upbringing as the rest, as even though the Nari were not of particularly violent inclinations, treachery was rampant in Hell and it was widely agreed that the seventh in line could easily become the king if the circumstances demanded it. However, the boy did not take well to the teachings given to him, not looking forward to the lifestyle that a King of Nimeter was expected to have. They were expected to be ruthless warriors and cold watchers, and so, Lizgaltrim was grateful that he was the seventh and not the first or second. Leeway was given to him, and he would often sneak away from the castle and explore the wilderness surrounding the capital city of Nimeter.

It was during one of his trips that everything changed. His trips to the wilderness were known by the other members of the royal family, but the monarchs considered him dispensable and the other princes considered him harmless, for the most part, so he was left alone. But one particular day, one of his many siblings, the eighth prince, suggested him to explore a particular road that had been abandoned for a long time, claiming that he would find something interesting there. Oblivious to any possible deceit, Liz agreed and traveled through that road, reaching an ancient forest. But it was not just another innocuous trip, as the forest was teeming with strange beasts that threatened to take his life. Liz fought off the first few beasts before running deeper into the forest for shelter, but before long, he was surrounded in the middle of a clearing.

Strangely, the beasts that chased him dared not enter the clearing, merely waiting at its edge for him to come out. Liz did not understand why they were not attacking him anymore, but he soon found out, as all of the sudden an enormous lion, taller than the tallest trees in the forest, appeared before him on the clearing. It introduced itself as Ghelkataster, the Shadow Lion, the great spirit who protected the Kingdom of Nimeter and the Nari from other demons. It offered to make the beasts spare the prince's life and to grant him great power, but only if the prince would make a pact with it and carry it within. Liz did not care for the power, but also did not wish to die, so he accepted Ghelkataster's terms. Immediately, the Shadow Lion entered Liz, who felt power surging through him, though it was nowhere near as great as he had felt from the spirit before it began inhabiting him; when questioned about it, the spirit claimed that a child could never truly be a lion. He did, however, gain some feline traits, much to his chagrin.

The power he gained was still formidable, and he was able to fend off the creatures that had chased him with ease, leaving the forest with little issue. However, when he returned to his home, he saw the authorities waiting for him. The place where he had gone, Ghelkataster's Forest, was a forbidden place, and it was plain as day that he had made a deal with the beast, which was punishable by death. Liz realized that this had been his younger brother's plan all along, and understood that he had been betrayed. He was tempted to use his newfound powers to exact revenge, but he had never been the vengeful type and knew that any damage that he could cause in his rampage was not fair to the kingdom or its people. Thus, he instead used those powers to escape from Nimeter. He spent years by himself afterwards, unable to find regret for leaving behind his home and a lifestyle that had never suited him, until one day he found a portal to another world, away from Hell, and went through it, finding himself on Earth.

Powers/Abilities:
  • Umbrakinesis: One of Liz's abilities as a Nari, it allows him to perform various techniques by using or generating darkness and shadows around him to various effects, though directly manipulating them (to, for example, solidify darkness into a weapon) is rather difficult, as opposed to techniques that affect himself and other through darkness.
  • Innate Lord Sphere: Liz's other ability as a Nari is one that few possess, most commonly royalty, hence the name it is known by. It is an area in which Liz's physical abilities are augmented, and where his Umbrakinesis gains a boost; it also enables him to teleport around the area and move objects within it through his will alone. However, it is usually restricted to a Nari's own body, meaning that Liz generally receives only the supernatural condition and is unable to use the other advantages that come with this power. A Nari can extend this area to a sphere that surrounds him and nearby territory, allowing him to use the rest of these abilities, but this will begin draining the Nari's energy. While this ability is active (meaning that the sphere has been extended), Liz cannot use the Shadow Lion's power.
  • Regeneration: His demonic nature allows him to regenerate from damage at a moderate pace. This pace increases if he is in a dark area or if there is darkness nearby that he can absorb.
  • Natural Weaponry: Fangs, claws. Pretty self-explanatory. He packs a mean bite when he has to. His tail is prehensile, as well. His horns would qualify, but only as a blunt weapon, as the position of the tips does not allow for using them to stab.
  • Will of the Shadow Lion: The power that Liz was granted by making a pact with the great spirit Ghelkataster, he can materialize his inner beast in the form of a large, demonic feline made of shadows, though controlling it requires a great deal of willpower. He can either transform into it, which gives him finer motor control in exchange for greater mental pressure; or he can summon it separately, making it easier to control. He can also manifest a part of the beast, like claws, with little effort. Finally, he can harness the Shadow Lion's power in a different way, utilizing its energy to generate weapons or harnessing it raw, though the effectiveness of this ability greatly depends on how it is used. While using this power, Liz cannot use his regular Nari abilities.


Weaknesses
  • Water: For reasons that are as obvious as they are silly, water is one of Liz's weaknesses due to his communion with Ghelkataster. It can make him lose his temper and start freaking out, and can easily distract him to the point of making him unable to focus on using his powers.
  • Light: As the element opposite to the one he controls, users of Light Manipulation and other light-related powers can be formidable opponents against Liz. Light will not directly cancel his darkness-related powers, but as the opposing element, it has the potential to cause massive damage to him. Naturally he is also at a disadvantage while fighting under sunlight or in greatly illuminated areas.
  • Holy Artifacts: Things like holy water, crosses, blessed weapons and the like are able to cause a lot of pain and injury to Liz and suppress his Nari ability, though they will not suppress Ghelkataster's power. Holy water in particular, being a combination of two of his weaknesses, can cause him great pain and render him unconscious with ease.
  • Lawfulness: As people who are very reverent towards the law, Nari put special worth in their word, and Liz is no exception. If he gives his word or makes a promise, he will do anything to make good on it, and will be greatly hurt (emotionally, not physically) if he fails to do so.


Equipment: None.

Likes: Fish, cats, loyalty, dark places, company, nature, helping out others.
Dislikes: Water, dogs, betrayal, cucumbers, mercilessness, being teased, Ghelkataster's snark.
Theme Song: TBA


Additional information: No, he's not gonna get high on catnip.

These meteors give me an idea of how to introduce a character I've been mulling over and thinking about creating. Okay, I may as well:

Character Application


Name: Smoliin Loral, though he will take the human name "Peter Corinth"

Superhero Name: Spectrum

Age: Unknown

Gender: Assumed Male

Race/Species: Unknown, though he calls himself Corintian.

Appearance: This pretty boy right here is the human form he takes on. This is his true form. His eyes are generally green, but can change color depending on which emotion is the most prominent, much like his true form can.

Personality: He is very shy and unsure of himself, especially as he finds himself on a new world with very few memories. Peter tends to put other people first. His personality can change depending on which emotion is the most prominent.

Biography: Born on a planet far from Earth, which he recalls as 'Corin', Smoliin Loral was a great warrior, a meta-Corintian with the unique power to assume the form of a planet's dominant species. Using this skill, he became one of his planets greatest spies. During a routine espionage mission, he discovered a plan to destroy not only his people, but also his planet, which would cause the Crintian Empire to crumble. He attempted to inform his people, but before he could he was captured and tried as a spy. Being found guilty of espionage, Smoliin was imprisoned inside an asteroid, one which is now heading towards New Delhi on the planet Earth.

Powers/Abilities:
  • Shapeshifting: Peter can shapeshift into the dominant species of any planet.
  • Hard Light Constructs: The ability to create tools, weapons, armor, and even appendages out of light. The color of these constructs are generally an emerald green, but can change color depending on which emotion is most prominent.
  • Aura: An aura of color (depends on which emotion is most prominent) allows him to fly, as well as to breath underwater and in space.
  • Rage Plasma: ONLY WHEN FUELED BY RAGE, Peter can vomit plasma, which has been described as napalm and acid mixed together, it burns away at anything.
  • EMOTION MANIPULATION: ONLY WHEN FUELED BY HOPE, Peter can take away ones fear, greed, or anger. He can also boost their willpower. ONLY WHEN FUELED BY FEAR (note, fear is unique in that when he is fueled by fear it doesn't mean he is afraid, it means he can use fear as a weapon), can instill fear in others, by delving into their deepest emotions.
  • Crystallization: ONLY WHEN FUELED BY LOVE, Peter has the power to crystallize others with the power of love. This power is not fully understood but they apparently put the person in a form of suspended animation. There is a limitation which will be added in the 'Weaknesses' section.
  • Secret Light Beings: Within Peter are two dueling entities made of pure light: The White Light of Life and the Black Light of Death. Both are fighting for control of Peter, and whichever wins will grant unique abilities to him.


Weaknesses
  • Vibrational Interferance: Using vibrations and sounds on the correct frequency will destroy all contructs.
  • Emotional Loss: Some emotions have a strong effect on Peter, almost taking him over completely. These are 1) Greed 2) Love 3) Rage
  • Crystallization: This can only be done to those who want to be crystallized, and it can be broken with "true love's kiss".


Equipment: None

Additional information: He has few memories of his past life and isn't sure if any other Corintians are left.

RP Sample: All of my posts in this RP :p
