Powers: I can pass on my own natural abilities by biting people, since I'm radioactive.
RP sample:



(Things in parentheses are OOC. The rest of this is IC. A form for your character to answer.)

Describe your abilities:
I'm impossible to kill. Well, I mean, unless you cut me up with a knife or something...
Why did you become a superhero: A coincidence. Lifted with some bloke away from Chernobyl, then I fell into Irina's space capsule, and bit her. It wasn't on purpose, honestly. Anyway, then we froze, until we were taken onboard the Squelch. I've been with Irina ever since, trying not to bother her, but now I want to see this new planet. I just hope their environment isn't as sensitive as Australia's, though. I mean, I'll manage of course, but for their own sakes... That's not a threat by the way, just saying. Maybe I'm not a hero, but I'm not a villain either.
What are your goals for the future: I don't know... eat and reproduce, maybe? I'm a simple man, I don't need much to be content.
(Why is this character with the Minnesota Infinites. In other words, why do they kind of suck?): By pure chance. Additionally, none of them, not even Plant or the iguana, has noticed him.
How would you describe your talents?: Normal tardigrade stuff, nothing fancy. Except that I can pass it along, which can make people very fancy.
(What about your character's talents make them a D-lister?) ... it's a #!@%$ tardigrade...
What are your strengths?: I can survive pretty much everything.
What are your weaknesses?: I'm super tiny.
(Any other flaws? Maladjusted personality? Social issues? Unmarketable aspects?): Can't really communicate with other creatures. Especially not humans.
Why should you if given the opportunity be allowed to advance in the Infinites?: I ask you the same. I have no ambition to do so.
(Why does the press hate or ignore you?): Because it's an indivudual tardigrade that none of them possible can know about.



So just so I'm straight on this. The tardigrade has no powers, but it can pass these non existent powers to others?

It's like the spider that bit Peter Parker. Just a regular spider, but when it bit him, you know. Except in this case, only one power gets passed on, and it's entirely random which one it gets. That's why Irina can survive frozen and in space, but not endure extreme heat and radiation. She's also not capable of virgin birth or anything. Think of a radioactive human biting a dog, and BAM! The dog can now speak and feels a sudden desire to make money.

Or if it makes things better, maybe it's used up its power by biting Irina.

I listened to a science pod while doing the dishes, and got an idea for a character (not saying I'll actually make it): Quant (or Schrödinger?) - someone who at any given time can be at two places at the same time, until you look at him/her. Or is there someone like that in established media, like Marvel, DC, already?

If Mr. Coffee is accepted, I'll edit him into my last post.

Name: Jason Coffee
Codename: Fireworker
Age: 21
Sex: Male
Appearance:
Image

Bio: Has had too many jobs to remember. Some notable ones were fireman (he wanted to learn how to clean up after himself), Goodwill worker, and cashier at McDonald's. Fired from all for being a bit of a pyromaniac. Joined the Infinites as a last resort, never thought it would be a good idea. Space abduction seems to prove his point.
Powers: Can summon fireworks by pointing. So, he points at a spot, and a firework explodes there. He can also choose the color. Unfortunately, this happens every time he points, even if unintentional.
RP sample: See signature



(Things in parentheses are OOC. The rest of this is IC. A form for your character to answer.)

Describe your abilities: "I came summon fireworks by color at will! Pretty flippin' awesome!"
Why did you become a superhero: "Just wanted to have a good excuse to blow up some fireworks other than Fourth of July."
What are your goals for the future: "Aces, I've never really thought of the future that much. Um... money?"
(Why is this character with the Minnesota Infinites. In other words, why do they kind of suck?): Well, let me put it this way: how many people have saved the day with fireworks?
How would you describe your talents?: "A good distraction from a long day. Wouldn't everyone love to see a firework show when they got home?"
(What about your character's talents make them a D-lister?) A firework isn't that scary... nor is it effective. It is, however, effective for collateral damage.
What are your strengths?: "I'm good with anything with fire (duh), and I'm pretty strong."
What are your weaknesses?: "I've been known to jump to conclusions, and, erm... I'm afraid of the dark..."
(Any other flaws? Maladjusted personality? Social issues? Unmarketable aspects?): Besides fear of the dark? Collateral damage, fire hazard.
Why should you if given the opportunity be allowed to advance in the Infinites?: "Um... good question. Let me get back to you on that one."
(Why does the press hate or ignore you?): He's been known to cause more damage than good, and he's the bane of the fire department.

I like him. Some of the fireworks may be the extreme weenie kinds - like snakes made of ash, or snappers. Others - well - I think people are going to have to learn to dodge or duck out of the way when Mr. Coffee - Jason the Fireworker - is pointing at them.

ACCEPTED. Welcome to the Infinites!

Ok. That helps explain things. I think that no one is going to get to endure extreme heat and radiation. But some will be able to endure cold storage. And some may glow. Some will just go up Geiger counter levels.

I thought Thanksgiving was usually a break from posting... this and one other RP proved me wrong.

I guess Sunday is a good day for a post?
I use my NationStates stats, because a population of billions/trillions and an economy of hundreds of trillions is totally viable, trust me.
But seriously, aside from the population and GDP, just assume that my NS stats are roughly accurate.

Support: Paleo-imperialism, conservatism, libertarianism, Christianity.
Against: Stupid people, resistance to industrial progress, alt-right, any form of government at or beyond socialism.

I hail from The League of Conservative Nations. Hearts unthawed, hearts unshaken!

Yeah, last year, Thanksgiving was almost the death of the Infinites. This year? Lots of activity and active players. Still going strong.

Sunday works.

It's kinda funny. Random and I said that Infinites is one of the only RPs where no one posts for five days, yet still no one questions it as inactive.

Haha. Yeah, we do kind of go that way. Wait and wait and wait, and then boom - 5 posts in IC, then several more days.

Maybe it's just that comedy takes some time and the right mindset to get it right.

Hey Beare-Mor / Aquias


That is seriously no problem. If things are tight, the do them first. Your family needs you. And besides, maybe sometime in the future you'll have more time. So no worries. You're always welcome back if you can make it.

Name:
Estlo Petrov
Codename:
Siorlo
Age:
22 Earth-years
Sex:
Male
Appearance:
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 150lbs
Other characteristics: Imposing figure, wears what resembles a chrome and maroon-colored suit, has pale-green skin
Biography:
Raised in a similar dimension to that of the known universe, he orchestrated a global tyrannical hive-mind nation-state, having initially convincing the government to adopt the system with brute displays of force, as he was able to kill by converting the Bismuth in citizen's brains to Palladium. A disruption in the general continuum of the multiverse caused him to be relocated into the known universe, with the objective of making it into a loyal and subservient colony of his, similarly to his home universe. He, however, has found our universe very difficult to accomplish this in, as his powers are far less useful do to various chemical compositions are laws of physics that apply here.
Powers:
- Sub-atomically converting Bismuth to Palladium
- Reducing the speeds of moving objects to 89.3% of their unaffected speed
- Has no effects of aging, and instantaneously perishes at an age of 934 Earth-years old
- Probable additional unknown but likely useless abilities



Describe your abilities:
I can convert what you call 'Bismuth' into what you call 'Palladium' instantly. I've also been told that I can decrease the speeds of objects by about ten percent, though this has always been much more significant in my home universe.
Why did you turn to crime:
I see an objective in the notion of making this cosmos in which you reside a colony of my own such place. Your conceit of morality that suggests my activities to be criminal and wrong is something that I find necessary to deny.
Why did you further become a supervillain:
The fact that you consider my objective to be an egregious offense to your moral facade is not a notion that I respect, as the objective remains and will not go unfinished.
How do you feel about the Infinites:
These beings that you refer to as sorts of superheroes are ultimately inferior to my objective, as, with technological progression, they can be easily made subservient like all the rest of you.
What's your end goal:
As I have previously stated, I intend to eventually create a colony of your universe to myself, closely related to the colony that I have created out of the universe from which I hail.
You've captured the hero/heroine, what happens now:
In this eventual scenario, your idol becomes subservient to my mechanical hive mind and works as an assistant to me.
Do you plan out your monologues or do they just sort of happen:
I consider my monologues to be eloquent ramblings, and ideas are always planned, though I never fully prepare them.
Let's hear a sample of your evil laugh (the noise you'd make when your plan is succeeding):
*With an ecstatic tone* Triiiliiiliiiliiiil!
Let's hear a sample of your evil roar (the noise you make when your plan is failing):
*With a discontent tone* Sluuuuuunuuuuuuuunuuuun!
Any lines you won't cross:
Most work that your sort see as excessive is merely a portion of the planned objective. The only measure I would not go to in my efforts is one that blatantly defies the esteemed objective.
Would you prefer an archenemy, or would you rather just drift around from rogues gallery to rogues gallery:
Seeing as the majority of your universe is opposed to my plan, this inquiry appears futile to me. I could suggest an archenemy, though it would have to be with a mutual sense of plurality. I am nearly certain that no others exist that share my objective, thus a 'rogues gallery' wouldn't work very well for me.

Snicker. An imposing, 5'10, 150 lb. person, huh? Who can decrease speeds by about 10% and turn one random element into another. Ok then. I can go with the backstory. Be prepared that everyone who sees you on Earth - and they did already - just think you're into weird skin cream or something.

ACCEPTED! WELCOME TO THE INFINITES!

Ok, so here's how things work. First, keep in mind that this RP uses no profanity - just like the comics. Comments that include such like #&$*# are totally acceptable in their place.

Second, we follow a running gag here (most of the time) for character introduction. Estlo has been with the Villains since the very first post of this RP. Therefore, Estlo knows everything that has happened so far - even if you, the player, do not. I will get a summary for you in a bit so you can read it if you have not yet.

(EDIT - Here is that summary. - Which means you need a synopsis of what's been happening. Ok. Chapter 1. The Infinites were going to hear two well known scientists, Drs. Rose N. Crantz and Gil Denstern, speak about the new radioactive elements found beneath Orient, MN. The villains were planning to steal said radioactive elements. But they were interrupted when an alien spaceship in the shape of a huge Chinese rickshaw came, and the captain of the ship named Spasticus the Snarler announced that Earth needed to choose people to represent Earth in an alien arena battle or else their planet would be enslaved for thousands of years. Long and short, the Infinites, villains and an NPC named Jerry were all selected to be Earth's champions, taken on the ship, and the ship blasted out into space. There, they fought a little bit, and then went on a tour of the ship, met some of the aliens, and saw the rest of the ship, including a room no one was supposed to go into, and the bridge which actually is a real bridge. But the notorious Intergal (Intergalactic Police) invaded the ship to arrest Spasticus. He activated mysterious plan #427, and hid the heroes and villains in a snug, crammed secret storage area while the Intergal thugs finish searching the ship and destroying half the people. Only problem - one of the Infinites, Glitch, went missing. After the heroes and villains were released from the hiding spot, and Intergal had left with Spasticus, they found Glitch in a weird secret room with a Captain's Log (named Woody, talked to Ivy who talks to plants); peanuts from earth in some kind of machine, and a video of one of the dead researchers describing the radioactive material as well as plans for a giant robot.

Chapter 2 - The Infinites and villains learned that Spasticus before he left sent the illegal contraband materials (mechanical components of some kinds) to the planet's surface. The planet is named Planet McPlanetface after getting this name in a space internet contest. The heroes and villains have all been shuttled down to the nearby planet to get this illegal contraband with communication devices (in the form of fidget spinners). They have just landed, and have met their first alien - a lizard police officer, who at first thought they were members of an organized crime ring making a delivery to another organized crime ring. But guess what? The organized crime ring(s) are coming there, and there will be a fight soon.) That's it. That's where we're at.

Be zany. Have fun. We don't take ourselves too seriously here.

And looking forward to your contributions.

-Talc

Glitch clicked something he wasn't supposed to.

Ye old outdated summary.

Adding on: they found him in a room labeled DO NOT ENTER, were they found peanuts, a Captain's Log (named Woody), and video footage of the scientists talking about the radioactive materials. Then the video showed blueprints for some kind of giant armor.
Then the computer announced they had to go fetch illegal mechanical components Spasticus had ditched once Intergal came. So they all got fidget spinners that act as communication devices (and have the most annoying ringtones. EVER.) and we're sent in a capsule to Planet McPlanetface, the planet the components were dumped on. On the way, they discovered space was not empty but instead filled with billboards, and they witnessed a plant battle an iguana - and win! The iguana died, of course.
They landed on the planet but were accosted by an anthro lizard, whom Pandemonium, a villainess, reacted to by claiming she was Her Imperial Majesty of the Neon Empire, and this was her royal escort. Most caught on and played the part. The police, confused, let them go, but then mob members appeared and the Infinites volunteered to battle them, likely dragging the villains with them.

Side note: everyone at the moment is wearing a kilt - even the Plant, the living light, the tardigrade, and, yes, the dead iguana. Everyone is also a random neon color - you can blame Queen of the Neon Empire for that stunt.

Thanks. Forgot about that. Estlobies, if you would read the long one on this too, that would help.

Name: Sammy Williams
Codename: Lizzie
Age: 20
Sex: female
Appearance:
Image(Shes a red-eyed crocodile skink)
Bio: She grew up in Gecko City, and never really got a chance to leave. She wanted to be some sort of helpful, so she joined the Gecko City police force. When she met the infinites, she decided that was her chance of adventure and freedom. So, she kinda ditched her job and home to join the infinites.
Powers: basic lizard abilities and telepathetic. Not telepathic, telePATHETIC. Being a "telepathetic," she can read minds - but only if they're talking about dumb things. She can also tell dumb things to other people's minds - just nothing really useful. She also can send pictures of empty bathtubs to fill the minds of other people. In short, this is "tele-tubbing."
RP sample: same as before



(Things in parentheses are OOC. The rest of this is IC. A form for your character to answer.)

Describe your abilities: well, I can climb vertical surfaces and have better sight than humans, as well as being a telepathetic. I hear the stupid things people think on a daily basis, like "Where's my shovel?" When it's in their hand.
Why did you become a superhero: to find adventure and do some good.
What are your goals for the future: to leave planet mcplanetface and see if tacos are as good as I've heard they are. Then again, my diet consists mainly of bugs, so maybe I'll skip on eating the taco.
(Why is this character with the Minnesota Infinites. In other words, why do they kind of suck?): I'm a talking lizard for crying out loud. Not quite super hero material.
How would you describe your talents?: It's in the name. Pretty pathetic. But it is kinda fun to see the dumb things people think about.
(What about your character's talents make them a D-lister?)
What are your strengths?: climbing, running, confusing people.
What are your weaknesses?: I'll go into hibernation if it gets to cold.
(Any other flaws? Maladjusted personality? Social issues? Unmarketable aspects?): I'm a lizard. I can't exactly walk into Walmart casually.
Why should you if given the opportunity be allowed to advance in the Infinites?: Uh... because I did something right?
(Why does the press hate or ignore you?): I don't think they know I exist.

Nice. There is one short little line in the app you missed, (What about your character's talents make them a D-lister?). Other than that, Sammie's good. ACCEPTED. Welcome to the Infinites!

Feel free to join the upcoming fight as backup to Jimmie Sullivan.

Can someone (maybe Talc) describe for me the current location of the scene?

Generally speaking, far. Not far-left or far-right, just far.
Pro: Executions, Mario Kart, Slavery, Vexillology

Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?
I’m thinking of buying a church and changing it around: maybe selling crack and having a few whores in the pew.
Never give up on an idea simply because it is bad and doesn’t work.

Yeah. We're on Planet McPlanetface. In a city, Gecko City, to be precise. There isn't a great amount of lighting in this area, though you can see some things. Think like an action movie scene outside an abandoned warehouse, and you kind of have it...

Sorry, but I have one more question. I realize that we're cutting in and out of the scene in Minnesota, but what is the current state of the infinites in Gecko City?

We're not cutting in and out of the scene in Minnesota. That's where everything started. Now we all came through space (heroes and villains), all now having landed in Gecko City in like my second to last post, trying to track down illegal contraband machine components. But there is an organized crime gang or two about to get busted, and our heroes are currently volunteering to help the police officer do the busting.

In other words, a fight's comin' on.
