True. That would be helpful. But territorial messes like these are fun to a degree.

Well if Territorial overlap is fine I'd vouch for my WIP charachter and dynasty wanting to claim a spot as the great house for the far East, I mean China is where nearly it's entire population is and Guangdong is China's most populous province.

Purple, red, argent, and gold it is. Noted.
w/ reg. the Yuan claims on Russia... well. The Rosengards have no further claims to the east, but we won’t say no if someone beats Sergei around a bit and there’s Russian land to be had on the table.Demencia wrote:I don't think there's any way in hell the Morrígan is letting anyone else touch Ireland tho just on principle
Unless the OP says otherwise, conflicting claims on my maps will go to whoever put up their apps first.

Pragia wrote:Name: Teris Renner
Alias:Phaze-R, now Gatekeeper
Alignment: Resistance
Age: 39
Appearance: Square germanic features, a burly body shape with wide set shoulders. Fairly average height (~180 cm, 100 kg)
Additional physical features:
Personality: Uncompromisingly idealistic, Teris has seen the world around him decay into madness and suffering under the new world order. He wants a return to the old way of things, and the madness of the metahuman menace contained. Despite his strong desires, experience has worn him down somewhat, and he has developed some private fear that, for once, the problem may be insurmountable. This has created someone who is daring and willing to take whatever risks are necessary to win, which has resulted in surprising clashes with his calm and imperious persona. He has nostalgia for a world he can barely remember, which has coupled with his arrogance to create someone who seeks self-righteous vigilante justice.
Abilities:
Portal Creation: His primary ability, Teris can bind two points in space together. While knowledge of the location is preferred as to be accurate in his connections, he has been known to create portals to locations based on coordinates and relative distances. It is presumed that he has a sense of where the portal should be, as its often conveniently placed. Living beings must have a concious or subconscious desire to go through the portal in order to be transported, otherwise they will collide with it like a solid object. This ability is of considerable strength, the primary limitation being the size and duration of the portal rather than the distance it covers. Some examples of feats he has engaged in include tricking the supervillain Tenebrae during a fight in San Francisco to go through a portal to the bright side of the moon, the teleportation into secure archives in the Kremlin, and the creation of REDOUBT in the Tau Ceti system.
Superhuman Physique: Teris is no Hammer, but he is of superhuman physical ability across the board. Forced marches for dozens of miles in a day, lifting half-ton masses, being able to survive hits from high-caliber small arms. He hasn't tested these abilities to their limits truly, but they are nothing too exceptional in a world of metahumans. The only thing above most metahumans is his reflexes, which are often fast enough to pre-empt actions effectively, invaluable when he needs to get moving.
Biography: Born in 1981 in Dallas Texas, Teris was well aware of his powers from a rather young age. At the age of 9 he redirected a baseball pitch with his powers, an event which put him on notice with the very developed US Metahuman Exploration and Promotion Program. USMEPP was his main attachment, allowing him to learn quickly with other people with extraordinary abilities. His development was not without the occasional misuse of powers which would be expected at his age. This slight record for misbehavior did not prevent him from still qualifying as a registered superhero. The cliques and connections gained in USMEPP was a major source of metahuman resentment against the government. After all, you place a bunch of socially-isolated kids in a special location, they're going to develop separately. Superhero team assignments came easily, taking up the identity of Phaze-R and operating on the Gulf Coast starting at 15. His career was bright, his powers allowing for great assistance in disaster relief and threat mitigation, things he relished in. His reputation was very positive, and he played well to the local news and even attrated the attention of national metahuman groups as he became an adult.
Despite this praise and love from the public for his work, he was very lonely. He was attracted to the idea of comradert, and when he caught wind of the wider metahuman plot, Teris was all too happy to sign up. Indeed, on the Milennium day, Teris was transporting Metas discreetly to secure locations. His involvement was enough to guarantee him a very valuable position within the new order until he listened to the speech. The teenager was easily swayed, and he had found comradery with his metahuman companions but this was different from what he had in mind. He had assumed this was a show of force to get humanity to recognize that they weren't just tools to be used, but what was broadcast was not a demand for respect, but a declaration of supremacy. This was not something he would accept. Immediately he disappeared for a whole year, as the world descended into a losing war with the superhumans.
He only reappeared in the resistance headquarters in Melbourne, penetrating the null fields which nearly killed him and presenting information to the assembled former world leaders. Data on metahuman positions and plans, ones he was not privy to when he was working with the nascent powers. He had a clear vision of what this new order was becoming, clearer than almost anyone, and he was eager to try and save what remained of free humanity, because that's what a hero is supposed to do.
Since his induction into the resistance under the codename Gatekeeper, he has begun to take increasingly daring missions, be it teleporting explosives into Metahuman locations, gathering information for the resistance, and recruiting disillusioned nobility to the cause. His truly cherished plan was his most impressive however. Project REDOUBT was his pet project with Resistance command, seeking to send free humanity to another world, far beyond the reach and knowledge of almost every Metahuman. Though some view it as giving up, Teris sees it as security and perhaps an apology for his guilt over his role in the destruction of the old world. Now Gatekeeper was on a personal quest to restore the old world, no matter how far away it may seem now.
Additional information: Teris has access to advanced Resistance technology developed by the best mortal minds as one of their lead agents. These items are mostly to assist in his infiltration and gathering activities, for he lacks the personal power to truly threaten most other metahumans.
Identity Spoof: In most recordings, Teris appears either as someone else, or as a blur. This is due to a small pellet he holds in a fake tooth, which broadcasts a fake image to electronic systems. Similarly his voice is distorted or normalized. This has no impact on face-to-face interactions, but is a convenient tool for sewing discord in his operations after the fact.
Null Field Generator (NFG): The tool that has single handedly prevented the fall of the resistance strongholds outright, the early null fields were oppressive and brutal things, generating a screeching noise in the back of the mind of baseline humans. To metahumans, null fields can disrupt their powers and distract them massively, and prolonged exposure to older models could induce psychoses and brain damage. Newer models are more directed, able to reduce the strength of metahuman powers at no harm to baseline humans. This is kept in a backpack Teris wears as a last resort. Not much of an enhanced fighter in a world of truly terrifying metahumans and magicians, if he is cornered he will activate the generator, hoping that his natually trained physique and the great human equalizer can see him to his escape.
