This sounds pretty lit actually.

Greetings.

On a now relevant note, one of my main character ideas involve using a certain appearance you may find familiar (probably because you used in another RP recently) and which I'd already been planning to use in an RP not long ago, as a recycle of a certain trap assassin I did from some RPs from a while back. I have a few other ideas I could use, mind you, but I'm leaning towards that one at the moment.

[Shadowwell]

1. OP and Co-Op's word is law.

2. No Godmodding, Metagaming, etc and keep to the site rules.

3. No Overpowered Characters, immortal cahracters are allowed, but you have to play them like they are immorta, not like they are just a normal guuy who happened to live for longer than most.

4. No More than 3 Characters unless the OP or a Co-OP approves otherwise, reserve characters are allowed. Characters must be a part of listed factions unless stated otherwise. No characters that are too ridiculous, you will be told if this is the case. Make your character have character, no two dimensional villains or the like who kill or commit crimes for a generic reason, make the unique.

5. You get three strikes, then you are booted from the rp.

6. Be nice in the OOC and keep the OOC out of the IC.

7. No one liners, unless you have a damn good explanation, Though grammar and the like i will be lenient about as mine isn't the best regardless.

8. No changing the App unless give approval.

Oh and

9. Have Fun!

Rules may be changed as needed.

any suggestions or revisions?

Sounds cool.

I'm just playing a scientist-esque character this time around. I always had a soft spot for the intellectual sort.

WIP

Once We Were Villains Character App

Secret Identity: Natalia Serebreykov before their death.
Alias: Katyusha Industries Unit 9D (Referred to as 9D for short)
Age: Original Body Killed at Age 40. Current Body is 56
Personality: Often coming across as stoic and emotionless, 9D is capable of enabling different algorithm's to simulate various feelings and emotions if they are deemed appropriate and logical for the moment. By being able to imitate the needed emotions, 9D can effectively communicate with others human beings.
Appearance:

Meta type: Mundane
Affiliation: The Society
Powers/Skills: Powers:

• An advanced form of Technopathy. Not only can they interface with electronics and machines, but they are able to possess machines containing electronic components as well. (An ability from when they were human.) Their Android body is now able to provide a number of additional abilities too.
• Bionic Physiology
• Enhanced Strength - Can lift about the size of a semi-truck.
• Enhanced Durability- Sturdy body provides them to be mostly impervious to small arms fire. Explosives and heavier weapons can prove more effective, as well as physically strong Meta's.
• Techno-Empathy.- As a machine, 9D has a desire to bring about sentience in other machines. The malicious code she injects into various worldwide databases is meant to be a precursor to the eventual surface of AI's one day. When connecting with anything bearing her code, these machines feel emotions similar to her as far as she can interpret.
• Mechanical Corruption - By interfacing with electronic devices, 9D can instigate shutdown processes, mentally upload virus', and speedily corrupt digital files and databases.
• Convertible Limbs - When out of combat, 9D appears to be a regular human, but when the need for combat arises, she can shift her arms and legs into weapons and other various mechanical forms to aid her in combat.
• Mechanical Tail- With this mechanical appendage, 9D can forcibly extract data from other machines, regardless of the virtual barriers surrounding it. This tail allows for a near instant bypass of most virtual security mechanisms via the injection of malicious source code into the physical machine she's interacting with. In addition to stealing data, she can affect associated servers, domains, and allow herself administrative privileges into organizational units.

Skills: Repairman - 9D is excellent at repairing Mechanical objects with a bit of tinkering.
Computer Literate- 9D is very familiar with how computers and most forms of basic machinery operate.

Weaknesses:

• When mentally interfacing with anything, 9D's body enters a sort of 'Standby' mode, where they cannot perceive anything around them, nor move or act unless the mental connection is broken.
• 9D' body is growing old, and although advanced for its time, it is in need to constant maintenance, is prone to frequent data dumps, and is slowly becoming obsolete in the face of today's extraordinary technology.
• Using her mechanical tail, they can extract terabytes of information in a short amount of time. However, any malicious code or virus' that didn't originate from herself are taken as well, and can cause mental fragmentation if not dealt with immediately.

Backstory: Born in January of 1921 in Petrograd, Natalia Serebreykov was seen as a prodigy child from a young age. Always hungry to learn and read whatever she could get her hands on, many felt she would rise to become more than someone who could be married off for dynastic purposes. Her father being a scientist in the late Russian Empire, and eventually its successor state, the Soviet Union, she often spoke of following in his footsteps. Her father, being the rather free thinking man that he was, supported her decision to pursue knowledge and often shared his research with her to feed her hunger for innovation. When she was 13, her father officially took her on as his lab assistant and the two worked tirelessly on projects aimed at mechanization of agricultural practices, something that the USSR lacked in greatly compared to western countries. However, when Natalia turned 16, her father was executed in one of Stalin's purges in a quick and secret trial that not even she was aware of. To say she was less than pleased would be an understatement.

From that point on, she was her fathers successor, and opted to send her mother and the rest of her family west to the USA. She remained in the USSR as a Soviet scientist, but reeling from her fathers execution (killed for reasons she is still unaware of), she sabotaged her own research projects in an effort to get any form of vengeance she could on her dads killers. With the outbreak of the second world war, Natalia's research was shifted to a more military focus. Unlike the research and development of Guns and Tanks however, she was made a member of a secret research program closely watched by the NKVD. This program would focus on the creation of a non-human soldier. Something that could be shot and continue fighting with ease. Something that could challenge the encroaching German war machine.

By the end of the war, the program had barely borne any fruit, and multiple members of the research team had 'disappeared' for various reasons. Some weren't content with the 'silly' program as they called it. Something impossible that would never be realized. As computers became a factor in the progress of the development of this 'Machine Soldier', Natalia would go on to discover her Meta ability during her first time using one. Being able to read what was on the computer in its entirety in a matter of seconds, and being able to ''feel the machine'' as she described it, made her privy to the idea that she might be a bit abnormal.

Being one of the members of the research team that had been onboard the longest, Natalia would eventually be promoted to 'Head Scientist' of this particular team in 1950. A good amount of time had passed since she began this grandoise project, and in the years that passed she had worked on what had discovered to be a 'supernatural power' or being what the West referred to as a 'Meta'. In 1948 she had been contacted by members of an organization called 'The Society' and they had somehow uncovered her secret status as a Meta. True, she had eventually disclosed her knowledge of being a Meta, but this was a highly classified NKVD secret as far as she knew. Truly, this 'Society' had ears in the right places. As technology advanced and the Society provided resources and influence in return for also agreeing to create 'Robotic War-Machines' for them.

In 1959, in the wake of deteriorating relations between the USA and USSR, Natalia opted to have her lab transferred to a country less likely to be caught up in a Nuclear Apocalypse. The answer was Cuba, as it was Soviet friendly and she could conduct experiments on the island in peace. Unfortunately for Natalia, she should of stuck to simply creating these desired machines, but with the resources of both the USSR and Society at her disposal, she proposed a number of 'side experiments' that could prove useful to the Society. Her most notable experiment, discovered by the League and gave precedence for her eventual death, would be how she attempted to alter the 'genetic code' of Meta in an attempt to heighten their powers, or gift them with even more extraordinary abilities. It was meant to be able to weaponize Soviet Meta's into singular WMD's, a fearsome sight on the battlefield and something that could carry on fighting in the wake of Nuclear Destruction.

In 1961, Natalia's base was raided by the League during the Bay Of Pigs Invasion. It was quick and tactical, and while the Cuban Guerilla's drew the attention of the Cuban security forces, the League proceeded to make quick work of the few Meta's the Society had sent to defend her research. Deciding she wouldn't be taken and put on trial for illegal experimentation, Natalia opted to transfer her body into what she dubbed as her 'replacement body'. It was what could be classified as an 'Android', only lacking a little incentive to move. Using all her focus and willpower, she successfully transferred her consciousness into the replacement body. All that was left was to destroy her former organic body, and make it look like a suicide. A simple bullet to the head and planting a weapon in the body's hand was a enough to convince the League members who eventually showed up of her death. In the years that followed and into present day, Natalia was in self-exile, traveling the world. Her survival was only apparent to the Society, whom had contacted her recently.

That works too. Thanks.

[Bycrest]

I enjoy a good villains RP, consider this tagged.

[Shadowwell]

Should i add a classification system to the power level of Metas?

I have a system ready, and adaptation of the Mercalli scale. it goes from 1-10 the first 5 levels are class B the latter five are class A

[Hothnia]

This isn't meta but could I be a sort of hound of mons?

[Shadowwell]

The Rock

Alcatraz prison was arguably one of the most successful prisons ever created. It was a relatively large success, and no prisoner had ever officially escaped from it, forming a legend of sorts. After operating for many years, officially for 35 years, but altogether for around 50 or so years. It was closed down in the 60's and the entire facility was renovated for many years and adapted to house Meta's. It was one of the first official facilities to do so, the general layout of the prison is much the same, though underground levels created when it was a military prison were expanded. The prison makes use of reinforced cells along with inhibitor devices to deal with lower class Meta Criminals.

The more dangerous Meta's are house in the underbelly of the Island. It houses both the villains and their Gear, for example the former Leader of The Society, Hoitus Inaba, as he is known by, is kept seperte from the Naginata that granted him his powers. They make use of inhibitor fields as well as devices and is mostly self contained when compared to the Above. They have seperate power stations and generator banks for any power issues and they also have several aquaponics bays and gardens for food and other needs. They have recently been experimenting with raising animals or creating genetically enhance meat substitutes, with some success. The Rock is not the only such facility, but it is the most well known and successful.

Will add some info about power inhibitors and the like later.

This isn't meta but could I be a sort of hound of mons?

You could, possibly have a Meta who was experimented on during WW1-WW2 to exploit the original myht. They would transform to that form, much as most of the Inhuman Metas do now.

So I could have my character created by a meta to serve him and then the hound could destroy the creator and roam as a non meta villain. If so count me in.

[The Irish County of the Beare-Mor]

I'm interested.

I'll start an app later today,

WEll they have to be a Meta, of sorts anyways. The Genes are what makes thema Meta not any looks or level of sentience.
They will also have to be part of one faction or another.

Good to see you Beare Mor

Secret Identity:The hound if mons
Alias:The hound
Age:102
Personality:gruff, loyal if subdued, sneaky, hates all things good
Appearance:
Meta type:Inhuman
Affiliation:none yet. Seeks to join the society by freeing its trapped leader.
Powers/Skills: Claws and teeth can shred through metal, bulletproof fur. Able to jump and run twice as far and fast as normal human. Makes no noise when he walks.
Weaknesses: He's a dog. Fire.
Backstory:[ The Hound was created in early 1915, by a German scientist by the name of Hans Von Helter, a mega. His was created to end the stalemate on the western front by slaughtering British soldiers at night in order to crush their morale. This plan ultimately failed as on his first assignment he ate Von Helter and the four Germans sent with him. He then proceeded to kill 120 soldiers of both sides for the next few months. This spree ended with the introduction of incidinary shells, as he is highly flammable.

Since 1915, the hound has trekked across Europe eating 567 people, all cold cases, including 6 metas and 4 so called heroes. He then boarded a cruise liner and arrived in America in 1974. He was surprised by the amount of heroes in America and stuck to the shadows, not wanting to be caught. Since 74, the hound has trekked across less populated cities, still eating people. Now he wishes to free the leader of the society from his prison off San Fransisco in order to expel goodness from the world forever. /b]

[Shadowwell]

I would prefer if the hound had a proper level of sentience and perhaps was less animal like. Because the Leader of the Society wasnt all that bad a guy and he had done what he set out to do. Also i think ti is in the rules somewhere in the thread, not to make Inhumans too monstrous.


But I might include several attempted assaultts on the Rock by a monstrous dog like figure. prior to the start of the IC.

[Mestovakia]

I might use a telekinetic villain.

[Shadowwell]

AS this is not the OCO i will not be making a character list or accepting characters yet. The OOC will be up in a few days.

[The Irish County of the Beare-Mor]

My guy is going to be photokinetic.

[Mestovakia]

I might use a telekinetic villain.

Well, maybe a girl who can sense what makes up an object and distort it with her mind. Let's say she's a mix between Deadpool and Lucy from Elfen Lied.

Not quite. Lucy as in she can rip apart people or restrain them mentally, Deadpool as in she's a bit of a smartass. She absolutely loves her powers.
