So if anyone has a solo character that you don't know what to do with while the Young Bloods talk and go on their first mission, Icarus is free to interact and/or fight

[Zarkenis Ultima]

In other news, I've spruced up the archive post a little bit more: now there's an extra field on the character list where you can see who is and who isn't currently on the team, as well as a list of what powers have been taken (divided between what's been taken by people on the team and by people not on the team).

Note that if your character is going to join the team but hasn't, they're not listed as a member

[Crapsack World]

I like it, but I'd like a little more detail on the bio. I understand that if he's an android he might not have lived much just yet, but I'm sure there's more to it than four lines. For instance, if he's going to join the Young Bloods, then it'd make sense for him to be in San Diego, but what took him there and why? Where had he been before and why? And if he's not in San Diego, well, where is he, and why? Just flesh out the bio a bit and you should be good to go.

I see your point.
Is the Young Bloods team started up, yet?

Not yet, but they are very soon.

Not yet, but they are very soon.

Or rather, the founding members got together already, but they're not an official team yet

[Anxiety Cafe]

Name: Asha Okeke
Age: Appears to be in her 30's, is actually around a hundred years old
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance: This is her human form.
Young Blood?: No
Bio: Asha, a native of Zimbabwe from before it was formed, grew up in a rather normal life, at least for her time. She was part of the Pedi tribe, which worked against European colonists. In one particularly bloody battle, she ran as the Europeans advanced on her village, making her way across the area as she grew. She had no tribe, but she was quite friendly with some. Eventually, in her travels across the Horn of Africa, she stumbled upon a rare dragon crystal.

She had been swimming off the coast at the time, searching for something else. Not knowing what it truly was but hoping she could sell it, she quickly tried to pick it up and carry it back to the surface. Immediately upon touching it, however, she was thrown away from it, away from land and towards the bottom of the sea, unconscious.

She awoke to a rather quirky conversation, the main topic of which being whether to move her or not. Upon opening her eyes, she found two gigantic sharks. She stared in horror at two great white sharks, who, instead of looking at her with hunger, actually seemed curious and awed. They continued talking, but she didn't hear them through her ears; she heard them in her mind.

At first she was frightened for her life, frantically swimming for the surface. Her lungs were burning from holding her breath, and she could almost feel her life slipping away. No matter how hard, she tried, however, she could not bring herself to the surface, and, resigning herself to death by drowning, she breathed in the water, and closed her eyes. Several minutes later, she opened her eyes once again to see the two sharks staring at her confusedly. She too was confused, for the water entering her lungs had not killed her; they had saved her.

Ecstatic, she let herself sink back towards the shark, who had been trailing lazily behind her. She had called to them out loud, her excitement growing when they responded in her head. They referred to her as "her lady" and "my queen", probably just because she was the only human they could talk too.

The idea, however, was implanted in her head, and she became the self-proclaimed Queen of the Sea. Over the next couple of weeks she searched for the crystal, certain she could sell it for much more, or even give similar powers to her tribe so they could fight off the Europeans from the sea. Her search was fruitless, however, and she instead focused on exploring the limits of her powers.

Her underwater breathing was of course, her first one to explore. Whenever she rose to the surface she saw no land in sight, but she could still test it. She could breathe anywhere around the ocean as far as she went. Her hydrokinesis was next. She had a "file" of sorts, in her brain, telling her all the creatures she could communicate with in the area, and she could choose to message all at once, groups, or individuals, and they would all understand her. That was what occupied most of her time, speaking to the animals and attempting to find her way back to her home. None, however, knew the human names for the area she was in. Her shapeshifting was harder to discover. It came as a pod of dolphins were swimming towards her, at speeds faster than she could dodge. She watched their bodies moving, the way they swum, and closed her eyes and prepared for herself to be washed away once again. Instead, her body began to transform into a dolphin, to allow her to swim with them. This was one of her greatest discoveries. The hydrokinesis she discovered not too much later, which she only used to help her speed along in swimming.

She first came onto land in Australia, not aware of where it was but excited all the same that she had the chance to meet other humans once again. Her appearance caused quite the controversy, and led to her discovering her time limit for breathing on land. As such, she had to return to the sea, but not before she learned of where she was and where to go home.

When Asha returned home, she found it quite different from where she left it. She had become an old woman in her absence, and all of her family had died. She had to return to her new home, the sea, in sadness. Determined to set out and explore the world before she died, she began to find out about new creatures and how the world was changing. And, on edge of death, she found out about a certain jellyfish. They informed her of what they could do: after mating, they reverted back to their "baby" stage, becoming a polyp on the ocean floor and asexually reproducing genetically identical "clones of themself.

She found that interesting, and quickly shapeshifted into their form, which they were quiet happy about. They showed her how to become a polyp once again, but she didn't grow clones of herself; she simply stayed in the polyp phase for a week before shapeshifting back into a more youthful version of herself. The immortal jellyfish had extended her life!

After her first (and only) step back in age, she began to truly take on the mantle of "Queen of the Sea". She cared for her creatures, saving those who began to go extinct because of human intervention; she even shapeshifted and mated with those that were truly on the verge of extinction. She cleaned up trash and pollution, washing them ashore the humans' (she began to differentiate herself from them) pristine beaches. She corralled oil spills, helping cleaning her creatures. She took her role very seriously.

Currently, she continues to fight against human [unintentional] efforts to pollute and destroy the seas and her creatures. She is aware of heroes and mages and aliens but refuses to show herself to anyone for fear of being separated from her creatures too long and dying. Recently, she has discovered the magical land of Tolaer, and visits often, recognizing their mission and offering to protect them if necessary.

Powers:

• [Queen of the Sea]: Asha is, quite simply, a goddess of the oceans. She can telepathically communicate with all creatures who reside in it, large numbers at a time. She has an aura, in all forms, that prevents any sea creatures from purposely killing her. She is able to survive in any place underwater, even with extreme natural conditions, as long as she remains in the ocean. In her human form, she is able to breathe both on land and in water, but she can also shapeshift into any sea creature she pleases. She also has some form of hydrokinesis.

Limitations:

• While she can telepathically communicate with oceanic creatures, she cannot force them to bend to her will. She can converse with them, attempt to convince them, or even command them, but they do not have to do what she wants unless they want to.
• Her animal telepathy is limited to sea creatures. She cannot communicate with a creature in, say, the Red Sea, while she is in the Caribbean; they have to be within 200 miles or so from her position. She can, however, talk to all creatures in that area at a time.
• While she is able to breathe on both land and water in her human form, when she shapeshifts into one of her creatures, she faces their same limitations (i.e cannot breathe or move on land, has to surface for air ever 90 minutes, etc.)
• Her hydrokinesis is limited to ocean water. That means no controlling any freshwater, blood, storms, etc. She also cannot, for example, bring a tsunami down on the entire East Coast of the US. This ability is much more limited to the area in her line of sight. Although she can survive underwater in extremely cold temperatures (like the Arctic), she is unable to control ice, even if it is made form seawater.
• As the Queen of the Sea, she has a very strong connection to it. Her powers weaken the farther she gets from it, and some are null entirely as soon as she loses contact with it. For example, she cannot telepathically communicate with any sea creatures as soon as she steps out. It's harder and harder for her to control seawater the farther she gets from it, and it takes more and more concentration for her to maintain her shapeshifting the farther she gets.
• Although she can technically breathe on land, that ability is limited. She can only spend, at maximum, 24 hours on land before she must return to the sea.

Weaknesses:

• [Electricity]: Although the ocean is normally her haven, she will fall prey to electrified water.
• [Freshwater]: As stated before, all of Asha's powers are based on saltwater and the oceans; meaning creatures in freshwater can kill her, and she is unable to communicate with them. She can drown in freshwater, and, since she can only shapeshift into ocean creatures (who cannot normally survive in freshwater), her shapeshifting abilities are essentially useless. She is also unable to control freshwater.
• [Human]: Despite her title, Asha still has all the characteristics of a human. She has emotions and uncontrollable feelings. She cannot survive fire, or being shot, or whatever else.
• [Concentration]: Probably her greatest weakness, Asha's concentration is the basis for almost all her powers (except underwater breathing). She requires a lot of stamina to communicate with large numbers of creatures at once, and it takes a lot of concentration for her to maintain a non-human form for extended periods of time. Her hydrokinesis is her hardest power to use; she must visualize the water particles around her moving, and the more she attempts to control, the more concentration is required. As stated before, the sea is her source of power, and the farther she is from it, the more concentration she needs to use her powers. Overuse of her powers can be dangerous, for she can fall unconscious. If she is on land, this can be disastrous, due to the limited time she can breath on land.

Likes: Octopuses (her favorite subjects), the cold, magic
Dislikes: Pollution, great white sharks (they’re so arrogant)

[Zarkenis Ultima]

App looks good AC. Only question I'd have is whether the power means she's completely invulnerable while on the ocean, but I figure the limitations are enough to make up for that even if that is the case, so I'll go ahead and accept it.

Not invulnerable, I put that there as more as more of a general statement. What I meant to say is she is unaffected by nature/the elements when underwater? I was aiming it more towards like freezing cold temperatures and other similar things.

Ah, alright. So any natural conditions won't kill her as long as she's underwater. That works

'kay. I'll add it to the list tomorrow, most likely.

It look like you're setting up for something with Tolaer. If you'd like for an arc to take place there, feel free to fill out a mission app

I do like Tolaer, I feel like it could be important in the future. Near future possibly. Thanks for the idea, I’ll probably fill out a mission app tomorrow.

[The Flutterlands]

Name: Andrew Marks
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Race: Snake human hybread
Appearance: 5'5, 120 lbs. Gray scally skin, black long hair, and glazed milk white eyes. Skinny and lean. Often wears a black hoodie jacket and jeans.
Young Blood?: Yes
Bio: No one knows where Andrew Marks came from and nither does he. He was simply found as a baby one day in the middle of August at the doorstep of an orphanage in San Diego, California. When the caretakers took him in, however, they were shocked by the baby's blind and most reptilian appearance. Nevertheless, the caretakers cared for Andrew and provided for him like any other child. They fed and dressed him as well as gave aid to his blindness.

Andrew, however, haven't received the same compassion from many of his peers. Due to his appearance, and venomous fangs, he had found himself ostracized by many of the other children, left out of games and fun. Andrew didn't find himself alone, though, as in his early years, he developed a unique telepathic ability to speak to snakes. It was through this that he made a strong bond and friendship with the Orphanage' s pet snake, Rango. The caretakere took note of this, as he made friends with other snakes, but left Andrew to his own devices in his friendship with the scally creatures, watching carefully.

Other abilities would begin to develop as he got older as well. After ten long years of pure blindness, Andrew found himself being to see through snakes while relaxing outside at a nearby park. He would begin to use them like that of seeing eyedogs. The young boy also found himself able to control snakes, after unintentionally setting a bunch of wild snakes on a bunch of bullies after going too far. It was after gaining these abilities that Andrew became a bit more confident and outgoing even as he began to enter high school in his fourteenth year.
Powers:

• Snake Physiology: Has snake-like physical traits and senses, including venomous fangs, a forked prehensile tongue, which enhances smell, scaly skin, cold-blood, and elongated jaw. Still has legs.
• Snake Manipulation:Andrew can control all kinds of snakes within a 5 mile radius, summoning them to do his bidding, like helping him during situations, using them against foes, and use them to see, helping him with his blindness. Andrew can also understand and communicate with them able to create strong bonds and friendships.

Limitations:

• Can only manipulate snakes five miles and can only see through one snake at a time.

Weaknesses:

• Ectothermic: Being cold-blooded, Andrew requires living in warm temperatures and can't survive in extremely cold temperatures.

Likes: Everything and anything having to do with snakes.
Dislikes: Mongooses and the cold
Additional Information-
Birthday: July 4th
Theme song: https://youtu.be/qI-Takf76RY
Favorite food: Seafood, Chinese food and Fast food.
Greatest fear: Losing all his snakes.

Mission Title: The Demon Lord 2: the Second One
What heroes would be involved, if any?: The Phantom Brotherhood, Yierneg, Asha, Hope, Faust, the Young Bloods, the New York Freedom Fighters
What Villains are involved, if any?: B'alok the Great and his army, the Reckoning
Location(s): Tolaer, NYC
What is the heroes’ objective, if any?: Stop the demon invasion
What is the villains’ objective, if any?: B'alok, angry at the Tolaerans and Earthlings for taking magical refugees, seeks to destroy Tolaer and the world; Dreadscale wishes to form an alliance between the Reckoning and B'alok
Quick Summary(paragraph please):B'alok, a demon emperor from another world, was trapped in his dimension. The Tolaerans had cast a number of protection spells, as they did for all dimensions that were home to hostile creatures, to prevent him from entering Earth. Still, after a century of working against the spells, he managed to influence a group of young students, who allowed him to enter Tolaer. He was angry at them and Earth in general for stealing his slaves before trapping him, preventing him from taking back his property. He rampaged on Tolaer, before escaping to New York City to continue on his mission to destroy the world.

However, an SOS signal had already been sent form Tolaer to various mages around the world; Katherine Bernard, Johann Eisenwald, and many more in the Phantom Brotherhood were suddenly aware of B'alok's presence and his mission to succeed where Adramelech had not. Faust contacted the Young Bloods, who he knew had experience in such an area. Together, he, Hope, and the Young Bloods travelled for New York City, the destination of Yierneg and Asha as well. There, they found the New York Freedom Fighters already fighting his army of minions. Together, they worked to fend off the fiends, while Dreadscale and the Reckoning negotiated a deal with B'alok, fighting alongside him.

The heroes must fight off the combined might off the demons and the villains, sending them all back to where they belong.
