[img]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b16/Blayze54/6404963_5d54ba0d2f_m.jpg[/img]

[size=1]Welcome to Justice City, a City where crime runs amok like the filth that lines the gutters. A thriving metropolis by day, but by night it becomes something infinitely different and much, much fouler. As soon as the sun goes down, Justice City becomes a dark underworld of criminals, both organised and disorganised. Thugs and biker gangs rule the streets, while megalomaniac mob bosses and directors of corrupt corporations rule the upper levels.[/size][size=1]

[/size] [size=1]And then there are the super-villains. From mad scientists to villains with powers that are literally earth-shattering, these super-villains are essentially in control of the night.[/size][size=1]

[/size] [size=1]So, Justice City needs heroes. Every city, from Metropolis to Gotham has their own heroes, and now Justice City needs[b] YOU[/b].[/size]
[u][b]
[size=1][/size][size=1]Basic Background of Justice City and Introduction to Justice City[/size][/b][/u][size=1]

[/size] [size=1]Founded in 1960 on the east coast of America, Justice City was designed to have a police force unrivalled throughout the world. It was supposed to be a utopian paradise, where Justice and righteousness ruled.[/size][size=1]

[/size] [size=1]But this was merely an attraction for super-villains. They wanted to see if they could beat this supposedly unbeatable police force. [/size][size=1]

[/size] [size=1]And they did. [/size][size=1]

[/size] [size=1]The super-villains had access to more money and manpower than most governments, so it was an easy job for them to overthrow the government of Justice City. Now it is ruled by corporations by day, and villains, both super and otherwise, by night.[/size][size=1]

[/size] [size=1]And so, it is up to you, the heroes of Justice City, to stop them. But heroes only work by night, so what do you do by day? What struggles do you face here?[/size]

[size=1]Tackling super-villains should be easy compared to every-day battles.[/size]

[size=1][/size][size=1]Right, this is a new RP, but it is not the kind of RP you will have seen for a while. It is going to be vast, epic, mind-blowing. It will cover not only the Adventure Inn and the Adventure Square, but also the Arena Underground and the OB Anthology, where you can post all your stories, poems, and anything else you can think of, as well as both the Art Studio and the Art By Request forums, where pictures, banners, avatars, wallpapers etc. can be displayed.[/size]

[size=1]So in a way this is going to be like the Legionnaires, except on a smaller scale. There will be plot twists and character development-a-plenty, so that is something to look forward to.[/size]

[size=1]It will work in a Chapter, or ?Issue? System, with only certain characters posting in the chapters, but with no specific posting order, unless I state otherwise.[/size]

[size=1][/size][size=1]I will need a large number of people for this to be successful, but this does not mean you can skimp on the quality of your sign-up. If anything, you need to make your sign-up even better than any other, so you have more chance of being accepted. A warning to you now: not everyone will be accepted, so put full concentration and effort into creating a character that is unique and original.[/size]

[size=1][/size][size=1]More will be revealed in the course of things, especially with the opening of the Underground thread, but for now here is the sign-up sheet.

[B]Superhero Name:[/B] Mystaire (Nickname: M)

[B]Real Name:[/B] Ryan Accalia Tevy

[B]Age:[/B] 19

[B]Current Occupation:[/B] Bookstore owner

[B]Height:[/B] 5" 4'

[B]Weight:[/B] 134

[B]Eye Color:[/B] Silverish-blue

[B]Hair Color:[/B] Light blonde with two red streaks

[B]Hair Length:[/B] Mid-back length

[B]Clothing:[/B] Her work clothes usually consist of a t-shirt or sweater and jeans. She has no set superhero clothing. She uses whatever fits her disguise at the time.

[B]Personality:[/B] Has a very strange mood swings. Normally, she's very happy and nice, but sometimes she can randomly turn very hyper, very angry, or very depressed. She's rather messy and unorganized. That doesn't stop her from being friendly with people she knows, although she's rather shy around strangers.

[B]Marital Status:[/B] Single

[B]Place of Birth:[/B] Small log cabin outstide Charleston, Virginia

[B]Character History:[/B] Always looking out for the good of his country, bachelor Radley Mason Tevy, infantry soldier of the United States Army, jumped at the chance to participate in tests that would better the U.S's defenses. All these tests were kept top secret from the public. Radley was taken to a small experimenting lab on a military base in Charleston, Virginia. There, Radley was injected with a strange chemical. Soon after, he was screaming and wretching in pain. The scientists tried to hold him down and give him a sedative but he attacked them viciously, with a beast-like strength.

His rational mind seemed to be taken over by beastly instinct. He escaped and ran to a small forest, where his animal mind said that he would get seclusion from humans. He then passed out.

When he woke, he was in a log cabin. A woman told him that she found him lying unconsious in the forest. She said how she had to drag him back to her camping place because he'd had a few injuries from escaping the lab. When she asked him his name, he said that his name was Mason Tevy. He figured that the army would be looking for him. She replied that her name was Kailey Ann Mortell. Under the pretense that he was lost and didn't remember where he was, he stayed with Kailey as she stayed in the log cabin (she said that she stays there because it's more peaceful than the town).

She ended up deciding to live there with him. Radley never told her about what happened to him, and they lived happily together. They got married at a small church with only a few of Kailey's friends as witnesses. Together, they had a daughter and named her Ryan Accalia Tevy. She was homeschooled by her loving parents. Everything seemed great.

Unfortunately, when Ryan was at the age of eight, the military found out where Radley was hiding and came to collect him. Radley told Kailey and Ryan to hide so that the military wouldn't bother them.

For years after that, Kailey and Ryan lived together in the log cabin. As Ryan grew into her teenage years, she began to realize her powers. When she showed her mother, both of them were in a state of shock.

The year Ryan turned sixteen, her mother died of a cut. Kailey had been a hemophiliac. Until Ryan was eighteen, she stayed in her home, not knowing what to do. At that point, she decided that no opportunities were going to present themselves out there. She would have to find them. So, Ryan left her house behind and, with the small amount of money her family left her, started a bookstore in Justice City. She lives out of the second floor of the store.

Currently, her favorite author is Nicolas Holland.

[B]Superhuman Powers:[/B] Shapeshifting. Mostly used to change her body and facial features, for disguise. Can change into animals, but she can only sustain a form for a short period of time. In times of great anger or great emotional stress, her body reacts by turning her beastly, increasing her strength, but sacrificing her rational mind for animal instincts. After this happens, she is incapacitated for a few hours, her powers having over-exerted themselves.

[B]Special Skills:[/B] Forging Handwriting (...she has a lot of free time. I mean, she runs a bookstore.)

[B]Weapons:[/B] When she can take it with her, she uses a two-handed blade called an Ogre. It consists of two long, wide blades coming together in the middle to make a handle. I'll post a picture up here later today. But since she can't use that when in disguise, she normally uses concealed daggers.

EDIT: Ha, ha! So sorry. I fixed mine.[/FONT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B]Superhero Name:[/B] Warp

[B]Real Name:[/B] Nicholas Holland

[B]Current Occupation:[/B] Writer of Fiction
[B]
Place of Birth[/B]: Paris

[B]Marital Status:[/B] Divorced

[B]Height:[/B] 5,9

[B]Weight:[/B] 14 stone or 195lbs

[b]Eye Colour:[/b] Grey

[B]Hair Colour: [/B] Dark chesnut brown
[B]
Hair Length:[/B] comes down to just between his shoulder blades

[B]Clothing:[/B] [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24958&stc=1]
[U]Everyday[/U][/URL] Nick will dress quite smartly most of the time, a suit and tie being his favourite outfit to go out and about in. The cane seen in the image actually holds a thin blade, of the type often used by gentlemen in the 19th century.
Nick's hero outfit is a combination of both [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24959&stc=1][U]this[/U][/URL] and [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24960&stc=1][U]this[/U][/URL]. The uniform is as you see it in the first image with the red cross replaced by a white 'w' as shown in the form os a 'z' in the second image. The 'w' button-like insignia is also visible on his chest. Nick prefers the all encompasing hood as it lessens the likelyhood of anyone recognising him in the field. The cane he uses in his civilan persona is strapped to his back so he can use the sword within when he's out heroing.

[B]Personality:[/B] Charming and intelligent, Nick is dedicated to his cause. His moods never really stay static for long and he is very open to others opinions and arguments. As such it can be said that Nick is easily swayed and manipulated should someone have the will to, though a master of manipulation himself he is well aware of the tricks of others and is by no means gullable in nature. Such a changing nature can also often make him seem insestive to others.
[B]
Character History:[/B] Nick spent most of his early life blissfully absent of any special or remarkable talents and as such enjoyed a rather uneventful childhood in the city of Paris, France. There he lived with his English father, a colonel in the British army and his French mother, a writer for the local Parisian newspaper. As an only child Nick was adored by his parents and attended the finest schools in the city, excelling in the study of literature and the arts, though rather lacking somewhat in the areas relating to mathematics and science.

Nick was a rather late starter by mutant standers. His latent mutant ability really only manifested itself in his late teens when Nick was involved in a rather horrific train crash. In summary the train, carrying Nick and his mother from Paris to Versailles de-railed, sending the thrid and fourth passenger cars tumbling from the track. Trapped under a large section of debris Nick was only able to free himself and his unconcious mother using an unexpected power to melt a hole in the side of the carriage and escape. Nick himself remembers little of the incident, other than a feeling of tremendous heat rushing through his body. Reports of the accident describe only a minority of the passengers surviving and not even Nick escaped unscathed. Suffering a severly fractured leg he was required to use a cane for a long period even after the cast was removed. Nowadays he merely uses the cane out of comfort, despite the fact he no longer requires to do so.

Scared by his newley developed powers, as most mutants often are, Nick hid them from his parents and indeed much of the outside world. Feeling at odds with the surroundings of his home Nick soon left France to study literature at Harvard University in Boston. Once in America he began hearing stories of men and women baring super-human powers acting as vigilanties against crime. Inspired by such actions Nick soon discovered a new purpose for his previously ignored powers and began creeping out at night to patrol the streets. Having at last found his vocation Nick threw himself into this new persona, training himself in several forms of combat, including fencing for which he found he had a natural flair. His academic work suffered as a result of this and he soon found himself expelled from his University. Undeterred, Nick began writing of his heroic exploits in the guise of fiction novels. The recieving moderate acclaim, it is enough to keep him housed and clothed and he finds that life as a writer offers few distractions from his life as a fighter of crime.

Though married for a short time to a journalist Nick found that the responsibilites of such a life put too much of a strain on his life as a vigilantie and vice versa. Nick will not speak of it often, not because it pains him but because he does not see it as anything worth mentioning.

[B]Superhuman Powers: [/B] Object manipulation, turning gass to solid, solid to liquid etc. For exampleh he can change an object such as a ball into a liquid form...but once he makes it solid again it won't return to its previous shape, it won't be a ball anymore. To change something back to it's original form, or there abouts he would have to change into a plyable substance and physically mould it himself. This power does not change the actual temperature of the object however.

Source of Powers: Benevolent mutation.
[B]
Special Skills:[/B] Nick has some skill in fencing, hence the blade.

[B]Weapons/Gadgets:[/B] only the sword

[COLOR=Navy][B]Superhero Name:[/B] Shadow

[B]Real Name:[/B] Naminé Satoshi

[B]Current Occupation:[/B] Professional Gymnast

[B]Place of Birth:[/B] Tokyo, Japan

[B]Gender:[/B] Female

[B]Age:[/B] 22

[B]Marital Status:[/B] Single

[B]Height:[/B] 5'6"

[B]Weight:[/B] 105 lbs

[B]Facial Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img301.echo.cx/img301/5099/girls836vv.jpg]Here[/URL]

[B]Clothing:[/B]
[U][I]Casual[/U] -[/I] Naminé just wears any types of clothes, her preference is a nice shirt or top with a casual pair of cargos or a skirt. When she's training professionally with her coach or competing, she wears a navy blue leotard with a silver stripe down each side.
[U][I]Hero[/U] -[/I] Naminé's hero costume consists of a simple all black outfit. She often chooses a black, long sleeve top with the sleeves pushed above her elbows, and long leather pants, with gloves that reach her wrists.

[B]Personality:[/B] Naminé is an interesting person because she has two sides to her which can swap instantly. The side which is most often portrayed is her fun, sociable, friendly one, where she's open to her friends about things and just likes to enjoy the moment. Her other side is more mysterious, where she becomes quiet and draws away from others, and she usually becomes cold; this side of her is the one she uses when hunting criminals.

Naminé is respectful to all that respect her, but she is always respectful to the elderly, unless they're criminals. To criminals Naminé is the haunting shadow, lurking to find the right opportunity to attack. Whenever Naminé senses something's wrong, wants to escape from someone, or hears a sound directed at her that indicates a kind of danger she goes invisible in instinct.

Naminé is very independant, and hates to have to rely on someone else, she's thought so since she was child because of her background.

[B]Character History:[/B] Naminé grew up in the dirty backstreets of Japan, born to a prostitute with no idea who the father could be. Her mother continued doing what she did until she was murdered by a customer, she had been 6. Naminé learned to start stealing because it was the only way to survive. When she started out she starved for days, drinking water from the drainpipes. As Naminé got better at thieving, she naturally gained skills of agility, flexibility and stealth.

Naminé's superhuman powers activated when she reached puberty, at about 11. At the beginning her powers were uncontrollable and she was unable to do anything because she kept flickering, being invisible at one moment and visible again the next. Somehow she forced herself to learn to control them, using a lot of her energy which wasn't much since she hadn't been able to steal food or water for days.

When Naminé gained control at last she learned the advantage of having such powers and she used them to help her steal things better, phasing into shops and the store owners slowly found their stock mysteriously disappearing.

At last Naminé decided to blow the scene and rustled up enough cash for a one way ticket to Justice City. She made a resolve that she would turn over a new leaf and start off fresh. When she arrived she searched out a job with no luck and was ready to give up. It had been two weeks and she was homeless without a job, but she had enough money to buy food and could get clean drinking water from water fountains. Naminé was resting at a playground, it was old and obviously wasn't used any more since all of the equipment was rusted and broken. She started doing gymnastic type things, she didn't know what she was doing exactly, but it came naturally to her and she had used those moves in her earlier thieving days. As it so happened a gymnast trainer was around and offered her a job as a professional gymnast which she accepted immediately.

Naminé progressed fast and was soon winning lots of competitions and got a lot of money from it. She settled down in Justice City, buying an apartment. She decided she would protect the city from criminals because of what happened to her mother, so she used Shadow as her alias and started protecting the people that needed it, the innocent citizens.

[B]Superhuman Powers:[/B] Naminé has the ability to pass through solid matter by passing her atoms through the spaces between the atoms of the object through which she is moving. In this way she and the object that she is passing through can temporarily merge without interacting, and each is unharmed when Naminé has finished passing through the object. This process is called "phasing." When Naminé is phasing, she is, for all intents and purposes, intangible. So, when attacked, she can shift into a "phasing" state (even if she is not at the time passing through an object) so as to allow oncoming projectiles or energy blasts to pass through her harmlessly.

Naminé can phase through any material object, even living people. When she phases through an object with an electrical system, the process disrupts the system's workings. She has trained herself to go automatically, by reflex, into a phasing state at any indication of danger, such as a loud noise like a gunshot, in order to protect herself.

Using her phasing ability, Naminé can walk on air. In fact, she can use her ability to walk on the air from the ground to the upper stories of a building as if she were climbing a staircase. She can also bring other people and objects with her when phasing through an object or walking on air as long as she maintains physical contact with them/it.

[B]Source of Powers:[/B] Naminé was born with her powers due to a mutated gene.

[B]Special Skills:[/B] Due to her profession, Naminé is obviously very gymnastic and acrobatic. She is very skilled with projectile weapons, having a perfect aim. Naminé knows how to use a large variety of weapons, and has mastered all of the major forms of martial arts, not concentrating much on the ones that don't apply to her, like the Drunken fighting style. She is easily stealthy due to her abilties.

[B]Weapons/Gadgets:[/B] [URL=http://img426.imageshack.us/img426/4462/jericho6ic.jpg]Dual Guns[/URL] and a bunch of [URL=http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/7733/mcfc209sl9cj.jpg]Throwing Knives[/URL]. Naminé also has an earpiece that she often keeps in her ear which scans all the frequencies and listens in on police and other calls in case something happens so she can get there.[/COLOR]

[Jokopoko]

[color=teal][size=1]EDIT: I decided to change the suits design as the I realised the previous one seemed a little far-fetched, even for a Superhero RP.

[center]-======-[/center]

[b][u]Sign-Up Sheet[/u]

Superhero Name:[/b] Centurion.

[b]Real Name:[/b] Richard Chamberlain.

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Age:[/b] 26.

[b]Current Occupation:[/b] Local News Anchor. [Working for/Allied with the United States Government]

[b]Place of Birth:[/b] Portland, Maine, America.

[b]Marital Status:[/b] Currently dating.

[b]Height:[/b] 6? 0?.

[b]Weight:[/b] 192lbs.

[b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://www.btinternet.com/~orlando/noah56.jpg]Click here.[/url] His eye colour is hazel and he usually keeps his hair length as shown in the picture.

[b]Clothing[/b]
[b][u]Normal:[/u][/b] Given his occupation Richard can be counted on to be wearing various crisp business style suites while he is out in the field or something casual that keeps him conspicuous. While out in public he generally wears a baseball cap and sun glasses to conceal his identity from the passers by.

[b][u]Hero Suit:[/u][/b] The design of Centurion?s suit is [b][url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/51/Canderous_armor.jpg]this[/url][/b].

He choose this design as it keeps his identity shrouded and his body protected, there is also an atheistic value to the design as Centurion believes the suit to have somewhat ?Roman? feel to it, enforcing his Hero persona. The armour itself is able to repel almost all projectiles and can easily with stand all forms of small arms fire. It also provides a degree of resistance to the various energy blasts that either come from the person he is fighting or an invention of theirs.

[b]Personality:[/b] Richard is a fairly sociable person but doesn?t always go out of his way to take part in the various social functions he is invited too around Justice City, he much prefers the occasional game of golf. Generally speaking he?s an easy guy to get along with and if you?re respectful toward him you will get the same in return, he doesn?t believe in first impressions so isn?t as judgemental as most people. He does sometimes get lost in the moment and his mind appears to wander off occasionally, most people say this is due to his Chronokinesis and he has some limited ability of foresight, those who are unaware of his power though tag this as being rude and obnoxious because on the outside it appears to them that he has simply lost interest in them or the conversation they were having.

He values friends and family above most of his commitments but he knows the perils of leading a double life that that majority of his relations and friends do not know about so he always sees getting close to some one as having danger attached to it.

[b]Character History:[/b] Before he was imbued with the powers that ?Father Time? gifted him Richard Chamberlain was a very different person from the one who shares a life with the hero Centurion. He was born in Portland, Maine to the very well known and historically significant Chamberlain family. Many had hoped that he would follow in the foot steps of many of the Chamberlain men and enrol in the United States Military in memory of the late, great Joshua L. Chamberlain who fought during the American Civil War. But as with many things in this world it didn?t go the way people had hoped it would. As he grew it became obvious that Richard was very self centred, rude, aggressive and very disrespectful toward any and all attempts to get authority pressed upon him.

In school it was clear that he was the epitome of the ?jock? and was often seen with a gang of cronies behind him to further enforce his will. In his wake he would leave terrified children and woozy girls. This obviously got worse as he got older, not only was he a mean spirited thug most of the time he also had little to no respect for women and it was common for him to have a new trophy almost every week. His parents tried in vain to ?straighten? him out and try and give him some sense of purpose in his life by enrolling him in a military boot camp for a sustained duration of time. All it did was further hone his aggressive tendencies and give him a wider array of ways to bully and coerce those weaker than him to do his bidding.

It did not take long for Richard to give up on the whole education lark and eventually leave Portland and Maine for close to six years. The accounts of what he got up to in these six years are hazy at best but it is believed that he some how got himself to South America on some kind of holiday and tour package and while he was there he had the encounter with the being he came to know as ?Father Time?. It is not know how long Richard spent with him but it is safe to say that the experience changed him utterly as he was not the same Richard Chamberlain that left Maine when he returned. He reconciled with his family upon his return but almost immediately contact the United States Intelligence services to get their assistance which his new found talents. With extreme haste he was relocated to Area 51 in order to test his Chronokinesis and impossibly high IQ.

While at Area 51 his abilities were tested by the very latest methods and many of his currently ?normal? abilities, such as time dilation fields, were discovered and he was able to fully realise many of the powers though some of the scientists and researchers at Area 51 are convinced that he has not tapped into the full potential of his Chronokinesis. Richard was also able to develop many of his technological systems within the confines of Area 51 and has the U.S. Government to thank for much of them.

After a lengthy stay at Area 51 he was directed to go to Justice City and take up the guise of one of its emerging Superheroes in order to protect the citizens their and give the Government a valuable ally within the City. He choose to pursue a cover career as a news anchor because of the fairly flexible working times and the status it would give him with Justice City as it is well known that many of the ?super villains? in the City have alter egos which run with the higher circuits of the City so Richard is able to keep an eye of them without much hassle.

[b]Superhuman Powers:[/b] Centurion has the psionic ability know as Chronokinesis, that is controlling time with his mind. There are various ways he can employ these powers, ranging from physical blasts of temporal energy to literally freezing an enemy in place or halting time altogether. Through some unknown process Richard, or Centurion, is able to change temporal energy into a form of energy blasts that he can expel through his fingers, the main effect of these blasts are throwing the target back a fair distance or temporally stunning them, it is know for these blasts to sometimes sap the temporal energy out of a person keeping them locked in whatever act they were doing until the effect wears off.

His most powerful ability is being able to halt time within a certain space meaning he is the only being that is able to move and act out within these pockets of temporal ?pause?. In order to do this Richard has to stop everything his is able to do willingly, this includes things such as breathing and movement of any sort because this skill requires his full attention whilst attempting it. When he was succeeded he can only hold the ?pause? as long as he can hold his breath so the amount of time each pause can last varies. He can also create independent bubbles of temporal distortions around people or objects either speeding time up around them or slowing it down but this ability, like the previous one, is equally strenuous on Centurion. Centurion is also capable of limited flight but not the extremes of some heroes, such as reaching the upper atmosphere. He is able to focus temporal energy into some form of propulsion and use it to defy Earths gravity, a side-effect of this is that Centurion often leaves a trail of ?temporal echo?s? of himself as he uses this ability.

He also has a heightened intellect from the same encounter that gave him this Chronokinesis. His IQ is believed to be somewhere around 175, with this impressive intellect he has been able to design various weapons and gadgets such as his own suit of armour and the items he uses in conjunction with his Chronokinesis.

[b]Source of Powers:[/b] Centurion?s power comes from the entity known to most of the people of Earth as ?Father Time?. It is theorised that that Father Time, or the being that is masquerading as him, is an extra-dimensional being capable of tinkering with human genetics in order to bring about these new gifts, it is unknown whether these gifts are permanent and part of Centurions genetic make up or whether this tinkering has given him access to some form of mystical energy that emanates from Father Times realm. If the latter is true it is possible that at some future date Centurion could be stripped of his powers.

The main source of his technological accomplishments come from his own mind along with materials and funding provided by the United States Government.

[b]Special Skills:[/b] As stated Centurion possess a genius intellect which he has employed to craft the various devices he uses to assist in his fight against the villains of Justice City. He also has a photographic memory, is able to remember an fact he has committed to memory immediately and has one of the fastest reading speeds ever recorded. To a lesser extent his senses have been raised slightly but he needs to make a conscience effort in order to register what he can hear, see, smell and so on, because of this he doesn?t really classify this as one of his ?powers? but just a skill.

[b]Weapons/Gadgets:[/b] Chief among the various items Centurion has crafted with his genius level intellect and assistance from the United States Intelligence services is his armoured suit and the various gadgets that go with it. The suit is made of an unidentifiable material that appears to be some combination of plastic and several metals, therefore it is relatively light as is easy to move around in while also giving excellent protection. Contained within his suit Centurion has a plethora of small devices from tracking beacons to grenade like items powered with his own temporal energy.

Many believe the helmet contains various sensory equipment but in truth the helmet is just a helmet.[/size][/color]

As a hero, James wears a blue navy jumpsuit with various pockets and gadgets covering it, [URL=http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.army-technology.com/contractor_images/kermel/1_P2N9pilot.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/personal/kermel/kermel1.html&h=447&w=300&sz=45&tbnid=HZOjAM0EW8kJ:&tbnh=124&tbnw=83&hl=en&start=53&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dflight%2Bsuit%26start%3D40%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN]such as the one shown here.[/URL] He also wears helmut very similar to that of Ultimate Captain America, [URL=http://www.marvel.com/comics/onsale/covers/uploaded/MARVEL%20MUST%20HAVES:%20ULTIMATES%202%201-3_24image_big.jpg]shown here[/URL], though rather than a large on the forehead, there is white five-pointed star. All the pieces of his costume are either navy blue or white, attempting to emulate the US Navy.

Personality: A cocky and impulsive fly boy, Maverick is quick to react to any situation, and often take the direct approach when dealing with any obsticle. In his off time, James loves to live the life of a local celebrity, using his credentials as "Chopper Jim" to impress the locals.

Character History: James comes from a long line of Military service. Both his father and his grandfather had been top ranked Naval pilots, serving in Veitnam and WWII respectively. And from birth, it seemed as if James would be no different. Before he could drive a car, James was already pulling loop de loops in his grandfather's modified single prop. After finishing highschool, James happily began his life in the military, starting with boot camp and working his way up too flight school.

At flight school, he was trained in piloting multiple aircraft, and while he prefered the speed of a fighter, he found his real knack was for the helicopter. Against his will, he was assigned to be a support helicopter pilot, rather than a fighter pilot like his father before him, and his grandfather before that. He resented the position, but went along with it anyways. After a few months of service, James found himself transfered to the Gulf War as a rescue pilot, religated to clean up operations. Again, James was being denied the glory he felt came with life on the battlefield. And so, rather than continue his tour of duty, he got himself intentionally court-marshalled and spent 12 months in a military prison. It was a tough decission, but decided he would prefer a life of freedom than one of disappointment, and if spending a year in prison was the price he had to pay, so be it.

It was in prison that James encountered a disturbed old man by the man of Arthur Kilman. He had aparently been a top scientist for the US army R&D department before disclosing information about a top secret weapon to the wrong people. Kilman and James bonded quickly, as they established a strong father - son connection, Kilman explaining to him the 'law' of the prison, while James provided company to a lonely old man.

Years later, after getting a lucky break at JCTV and becoming "Chopper Jim," James ran into Kilman, who explained he had escaped from prison with after accidentally creating a mysterious mutagen which he nicknamed Rocket-Juice. James agreed to house Kilman untill he could find a more permanant place to hide from the police, but in a freak accident, Kilman broke his only bottle of this "Rocket Juice" all over James, especially on his legs. Much to both of there suprise, James was granted fabulous new powers, and was finally given the chance to fulfill the glorious life of a warrior he felt he wa destined for. Kilman no long lives with james, but remains the only one who knows his ture identity, and was also the man who crafter Maverick's trademark helmut.

Superhuman Powers: Releases thermochemical energy as an impenetrable blast field, using it as a personal shield or extending it to encompass others, focus it into rocket thrust or bio-kinetic blasts from his hands, shape the field around another person to imprison them, or absorb outside kinetic impact into his own energy supply, then rechannel it to increase the bludgeoning power of his blows or create explosive shock waves upon impact. Think Cannonball.

Source of Powers: Lab accident

Special Skills: Pilot, basic military training

Weapons/Gadgets: His helmut contains a number of different scanning functions, such as thermal and night visions.

[CENTER][SIZE=1][B]Superhero Name[/B]: Angel

[B]Real Name[/B]: Thandar Naing Viktor (Thunduh-Nine-Victor)

[B]Current occupation[/B]: Receptionist at the Pan Hotel

[B]Place of birth[/B]: Woodlands, Singapore.

[B]Marital status[/B]: Single

[B]Height[/B]: 5?6?

[B]Weight[/B]: 105bs

[B]Eye Color[/B]: Brown

[B]Hair Color[/B]: Dark Brown

[B]Hair Length[/B]: It reaches just below her shoulder blades.

[B]Clothing[/B]: [U]Everyday[/U]: Thandar Naing is usually seen wearing her uniform for work. A black dress shirt that has white buttons up the middle. It is tucked into her pants which are either white or black. The Pan Hotel is a very ?mod? hotel, so most of the workers dress to fit in with the theme. But, she is not always wearing this outfit. On casual outings she likes to wear just everyday normal clothes. Thandar Naing usually gets her clothing from Aeropostale and Abercrombie and Fitch. Since she is still in her "young" stage (20) she still finds shopping at these stores is fun.

[U]Hero[/U]: Thandar Naing wears a school uniform from her native country of Singapore. It has a black vest, with a white undershirt that is tucked into her skirt. The skirt is also a dark black color, she isn't really into the whole super hero getu up.

[B]Personality[/B]: Thandar Naing is usually very independent. She wants no one to help her, she thinks that she could take on the world. But, this does call for some little confrontations. Usually Thandar Naing gets very furious if someone tries to help a little to much. It builds up and then she explodes. Thandar Naing has been trying to control this, and has been successful. Another trait of hers is her soft side. Plush toys, candy, Hello Kitty, cute little mechanical pencils, all favorites of hers.

Like any Asian girl, this side of her is common. Most things to Thandar Naing are ?cute? and ?cuddly?.

[B]Character History[/B]: On a summer day, in the north of the island country Singapore, a baby girl was born. But something was very different about this baby girl. She didn?t have a heart problem, she wasn?t physically disabled in any way, but? she had wings. Yes, that?s right; she was born with a pair of 3 ft. wings. Her parents, as well as the doctors, were all stunned. The girl was perfectly normal, but she had humongous wings! Thandar Naing?s parents decided to keep her, they still loved her.

Over the years her wings started to grow, her parents bought her straps to tie around her waist and hold down the wings. This way her back wasn?t bulky, so it was hard to notice she even had wings. Then her parents heard of many children being born with odd mutations. They came to the conclusion that her daughter was one of them. Thandar Naing knew that she was ?different?, but she never thought of her self as a mutant. She tried her best to cope, but the drilling society of Singapore wasn?t accepting these mutations. Since the Singaporean community thrives for perfection they had no room for these mutants to ruin their picture.

A mass genocide was going to have to take place. The Singaporean, Chinese, and Malaysian governments teamed up to clear all of these mutations. They wanted them gone. A total of 50,632 mutants were killed, but 100 seemed to escape. One of those 100 was Thandar Naing. Scared and not knowing where to go Thandar Naing flew across Asia trying to find somewhere safe. An elderly woman took her in for quite some time, feeling bad for the young girl. But three words were all that helped Thandar Naing. When the genocide was reaching the area, the elderly woman told those three words to Thandar Naing.

?Fly, Angel?FLY!?

Thandar Naing left the place with a tearful goodbye, when she turned the house and the surrounding village was being invaded. The elderly woman was never heard of again. Since then Thandar Naing has taken the name as ?Angel? and helped mutants across the world. Angel decided to go toward North America, America to be exact. Once there Angel heard of Justice City and its heroes. Noticing that some of these people were like her she rushed to join them, and she now enjoys protecting Justice City and its citizens. It is deep down in her heart that she knows that she is one of the many keys that will unlock the evil that lurks among us.

(More of this is going to be covered in an Issue)

[B]Superhuman Powers[/B]: 13 ft wings. (Across, not 13 ft each) And enhanced human strength, probably due to her mutation. When Angel was in her mothers womb scientists decided to "experiment". This was the case with many of the other mutants. When the scientists inserted avian DNA into Thandar Naings mother's amniotic fluid, Thandar Naing recieved it.

At the same time the DNA also allowed her bones to become hollow and light, it makes it easier for her to fly longer distances without being weighed down.

[B]Special Skills[/B]: Thandar Naing learned how to make special potions and healing herbs from the elderly woman. Before battle, or in her spare time, Thandar Naing puts these herbs into her homemade arrows. The different potions and herbs have different affects. During battle, and if one of her team mates is injured, she can eject an arrow that has a healing potion into her team mate. Or there can be a dangerous effect to the arrow.

[B]Weapons/Gadgets[/B]: Bow and Arrow.

OOC: Sorry if the sign-up is kind of poorly written. I will definately make up for this in the long run. My RP skills are great. :p[/SIZE][/CENTER]

[Vicky]

[SIZE=1][B]Superhero Name:[/B] Dark Matter

[B]Real Name:[/B] Alan Slater

[B]Current Occupation:[/B] Assistant at an Alternative Clothes Shop

[B]Place of Birth:[/B] Manchester, England

[B]Marital Status:[/B] Single (With good reason)

[B]Height:[/B] 6?4

[B]Weight:[/B] 230lbs

[B]Eye Colour:[/B] Black (He claims he wears Contact Lenses to advertise the store?s collection)

[B]Hair Colour:[/B] Blonde

[B]Hair Length:[/B] Quite long, just past his shoulders

[B]Clothing:[/B]
[B]Normal:[/B] Alan is the kind of person who wears what he wants, when he wants, and how he wants, even if his style of clothing was what caused a lot of problems in his life. [URL=http://www.synth-tec.com/products/03/tripp_fusion_pants2.jpg]?Tripp NYC Fusion Pants?[/URL] (click) and a black t-shirt (with the occasional wise-*** comment on the front) is Alan?s favourite look. For one, he?s allowed to wear these clothes in the store, and it also symbolises that he?s going to wear whatever he wants no matter what people say. Alan wears what he thinks is ?cool?, not what?s in or not what anyone else is wearing. Unfortunately, what?s ?cool? is Goth, a stereotype Alan really doesn?t care about. He doesn?t wear any makeup or any kind of jewellery; he never actually liked the idea of boys wearing makeup and stopped wearing jewellery during his teenager years (see biography).

[B][URL=http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/5411/alanslater6rz.png]Superhero[/URL] (click):[/B] His superhero costume is one Alan?s quite proud of. Firstly, knight helmets were always something that interested Alan, and it serves two meanings. For one it hides his features and, most importantly, protection (see powers). The armour carries the same meaning though it isn?t as important as his helmet. Originally Alan?s costume included a cape, however after a few ?accidents? Alan decided a cape of any sort was dangerous. His costume is mostly metal but the design and joints make it easy to move in than the armour an old fashion knight would wear. The origin of his costume is simple; he called in a favour from an old ?friend?.

[B]Personality:[/B] Alan?s personality is the sum of his past; he would never be who he is today if it weren?t for the people in his town. He isn?t a very nice person when he?s not in the mood, though if he real wants to be he can be kind. Kind, but not understanding. He doesn?t really see things from other people?s point of view unless they make a very good point, nor does he find things unfair unless he thinks it?s not right. Alan is not a small-minded man; he just has his own opinions and thinks he?s infallible, which he clearly isn?t. It takes a lot to prove him wrong and even more to convince him he really is wrong (again, good reasons mean cooperation with this man). Alan likes to be independent and likes to ruin good things with negative points. Even though he seems a little like a moron, he?s actually smart and very caring if he wants to be? which, unfortunately, isn?t often.

Alan keeps himself to himself, he isn?t known much around Justice City, nor does he care. He doesn?t have many friends (excluding his cat) due to the fact he has his own philosophical approach to life: ?Loving someone means you get hurt, it?s the price of caring?, and he thinks that about all the friends he ever had and all his family he had left behind. Alan knows that he?s always right and no matter what he?ll always believe that keeping people close to you is pointless. He doesn?t like getting hurt and most of all hurting other people, which is why he helps people with his powers. Sometimes, though, Alan doesn?t know why he helps and finds that being a hero means he?s ignoring his own law of life.

[B]Character History:[/B] Manchester is a pretty nice place to be, with all the people and all the promising projects being built? for tourists, anyway. It was never like that for Alan. Manchester is and will always be a battlefield for kids with long lasting effects. Although not extremely popular, Goths, punks and a lot of other stereotypical teenagers were around and subject to torture from people who called themselves ?normal?. Anyone wearing black was a Goth, anyone listening to none dance music was a punk and, really, it was stupid. Stupid, but cool, in Alan?s eyes anyway.

Growing up Alan had a lot of things: friends, a loving family and a lot of money. That all changed in high school. Alan wasn?t used to be teased or called names; he was actually a very nice person and didn?t understand why the older children in his high school were so? evil. Eventually they did stop teasing him, but there was always a reason. It happened to most children in the school, bullying was a form of amusement and no one cared what it was doing to anyone else. No one cared what it was doing to Alan. He wasn?t a violent child; he wasn?t prepared to stand up for himself. All of Alan?s friends were as old as him or younger and they were scared of the older children, too, so Alan desperately wanted some older friends that could possibly help him out. He didn?t know that he wanted older friends but it was plainly obvious that he wanted older kids to defend him when he started hanging around with teenagers outside of school, formally known as ?the Goths?.

Alan found that the colour black was appealing and that chains looked ?cool?. He loved loud, incomprehensible music and looking different from everyone else. He didn?t think it was a problem, being with older people had convinced him that people found the black clothing, spikes and chains intimidating and he thought no one would bother him if he was like them. He was wrong, of course, Manchester was different. Being different was the worst thing you could ever be, especially for Alan. He lost his old friends, gained a few new outcast friends in his school and was picked on more than often. The name-calling was different this time, it wasn?t stupid, childish name calling, it was much worst. Kids would tell him to ?wash the paint off his face?, or to go and cut himself, and a lot of kids would yell, ?the devil has risen!? when he passed in the hallways. Alan wasn?t like many other Goths, he wasn?t really, but everyone else figured he was. Stereotypes.

Things got better, not an awful lot, but better. Alan met a girl called Sarah who was constantly teased for the way she looked and her weight, and she talked to Alan a lot and told him about her way to dealing with the bullies and their comments. She told Alan that she had almost trained herself to ignore everything they said, and it was easy to get on with life it you couldn?t hear them. Alan wasn?t sure what she meant exactly but he was willing to learn about it and, eventually, he got the idea and learnt to deal with it himself, as well. Though, like most of Alan?s life, things were about to turn sour again.

He cared about Sarah, he [I]actually[/I] cared about someone after a long time, but someone was going to deprive him of that. While Alan and Sarah were walking around loud road works in the street, a group of boys from Alan?s school were trying to insult Alan and got frustrated when he didn?t reply; so they decided to do the next best thing, assault him. Rocks worked best, they figured. Not wanting to get hurt, Alan went ahead of Sarah and crossed the road, then continued walking. He heard the boys shouting at Sarah and knew she wasn?t listening, so he wasn?t too sad for her. He kept walking, unwilling to turn around and look at the little demons that hated him, and ignore them, as well. He did turn around for a second and caught the sight of his friend crossing the road and in the path of a car. In a few seconds Alan realised that the boys weren?t yelling insults at Sarah, but they were yelling at her over the road works to get out of the way. She wasn?t listening because she had learnt that all they had to say was pointless, it was there fault she had died and people like them. To say Alan was angry was an understatement.

He felt as if life was against him and that everyone he cared about was going to die sooner or later and there was nothing he could do about it. He knew that everyone he cared about would die and he would get hurt, so he figured that he shouldn?t have to care, that he shouldn?t have to give a damn about anyone, therefore he wouldn?t get hurt when they did. He went through the rest of his school year on his own, literally. He had no friends and kept getting angry with everyone who called him names, but didn?t do anything. He was a smart boy who hardly got anywhere and just did as he pleased. Anyone who hung about with him was teased as well, and he didn?t like that. Him being hurt was one thing, other people being hurt was another. Though Alan felt as if he was in no position to help anyone? yet.

A magician, Raoul Phantoma (personally Alan found that name insanely stupid) had an amazing power that he used to make money, illusion. Alan didn?t know how, he just knew that Raoul had a special ability. He would watch all of Raoul?s shows while he was touring in Manchester with great interest and noticed that what he was doing was completely impossible, yet only Alan noticed. On his last show there was a problem with the stage one of Raoul?s tricks sent the scenery down on him, killing him and spilling blood across the stage. Alan, being smart and curious, took an empty bottle from one of the fleeing audience and took some of Raoul?s blood. It might have been a sicken urge or just pure luck, either way Alan had half a bottle of a man?s bottle. He carried it around with him in case his parents found it in his room and had the unfortunate experience of tasting human blood. As a joke, some kids took things out of his bag, found this bottle of blood, and cornered Alan after school. Using their intimidating name-calling and evil quirks, beatings even, they threatened Alan until he agreed to drink the magician?s blood.

Nothing happened to Alan for a while, except the bullying. He was currently in his 10th year and [I]still[/I] being bullied by the kids in the year above him and even his former friends. He was called a vampire for drinking the blood and one day he was sick of it. All those years had made him a very angry 15 year old, and he hit one of the boys calling him so hard that they didn?t get back up. For the first time ever, the people who had invoke fear in him all through high school looked back at him afraid, instead of amused. Alan was expelled from school for his assault, but it was worth it. It had changed Alan forever, on the inside and the outside. Inside he was willing to stand up for himself and everyone else, outside his eyes had changed from the vibrant blue they used to be to a void black, dark and empty. Alan moved on to another school for his last year and wasn?t bothered because of his new act and his new way of approaching problems, though torture was still there. Other people were bullied and Alan didn?t know what to do.

He didn?t go to college or go on to any higher education, he hardly had any qualification, so he had nothing to do. Having lots of money his parents paid for a flat for Alan while he found his footing, but Alan had no intentions of getting a job. He spent his days trying to do Raoul?s magic tricks, feeling the blood of a trickster run through him was inspiring. It wasn?t long until Alan realised he had Raoul?s power and that he was right, Raoul?s trick were impossible, but he tricked the mind into thinking that they were real. Alan was afraid of what he could do at first, but then he realised that intimidation was the greatest weapon for the bullies in his school, and it occurred to him that he could use that, as well. For what reason he wasn?t sure, but he did have an idea.

It turned out that Alan?s mind was always focusing on dark things, pain and anger, everything that had been building up from his childhood. Fear was a very, very strong part of him, and it was his weapon. Alan?s power gave him a little bit of telepathy; he could therefore interpret his enemy?s worst fears and nightmares. He used them against people, made reality into their nightmares, made it seem like he was stronger and more intimidating, and most of all it seemed more real than anything else.

What Alan did with his life from that point wasn?t interesting. He got a costume made, stolen and forged for him by an old? friend, or enemy, and wanted to see the extent of his powers. Justice City was something Alan had only heard rumours of and was determined to see if it was true. He moved away from Manchester, not at all sad to leave, and hoped for something new and better from his past life.

[B]Superhuman Powers:[/B] Mostly explained in the biography, but never mind that. Alan has the ability to create very realistic illusions, illusions of himself, his surroundings or the person in general. He has the blood of a trickster and will always be like that. His powers give him a mild telepathy so he can see someone?s darkest secrets, their deepest fears and even the more positive things about them. Memories must be very strong or very bad to be recreated, but Alan has learnt that even the hidden memories can be the strongest. Since Alan?s powers are about the mind he is vulnerable to attacks to his head. Lose of concentration (hitting his head or high pitched noises) can cause the illusions to cease, though worse things can happen, like Alan completely losing control of his tricks.

[B]Source of Powers:[/B] From another person?s powers, Alan?s blood was mixed with the blood of a powerful man named Raoul.

[B]Special Skills:[/B] Alan?s pretty big so he?s good at fighting and using his weight though was never trained. His main skills are probably ignoring people or sounds, trickery and spotting a trick or deception.

Herman has finally found the right musicians together to take the music he loves to another level. Then he started the band "Dragonforce". The sheer power of their music caused the world to respect their most high and glorious sound, and many to worship it like unto a god. Herman Li's solos were a force to be reckoned with, and he could outshred any mere mortal with his Ibanez guitar.

Superhuman Powers: From the sheer sonic force at which he plays, he can crush, rend, or otherwise maim most static materials on the planet (concrete walls, metal walls, floors, roofs, etc.). His power, however, translates less powerfully on a human being. He is only capable of inflicting grievous bodily harm on a human, from a series of concussive blows of sonic power. He can also use his guitar as a flying apparatus, or as a weapon.

Source of Powers: Most of this power comes from his innate ability to shred on the guitar, but his guitar's amplification came from an on-stage electrical accident that rearranged the particles of not only his body, but all of his guitars.

Special Skills: Expert wielder of European swords, electric guitars, and, obviously, his ability to SHRED!

[size=1][b]Current Occupation:[/b] Lawyer[/size]

[size=1][b]Place of Birth:[/b] Justice City, USA[/size]

[size=1][b]Marital Status:[/b] Single[/size]

[size=1][b]Height:[/b] 5'11"[/size]

[size=1][b]Weight:[/b] 165 lbs[/size]

[size=1][b]Hair Colour:[/b] Hazel with a white streak in the fringe[/size]

[size=1][b]Hair Length:[/b] Short, styled into a messy kind of look[/size]

[u][b][size=1]Clothing:[/size][/b][/u]

[size=1][b]Everyday:[/b] Being a lawyer, Alex tends to wear smart business suits, usually soft pastel-colour shirts, with ties that don't clash. Outside of work, he wears jeans and a t-shirt, generally, a dress shirt if he is going out.[/size]

[size=1][b]Hero:[/b] When he takes the form of Justice, he wears [u][url="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b16/Blayze54/xman.jpg"]these clothes[/url][/u], except change the blue for black and the yellow for red.[/size]

[size=1][b]Personality:[/b] When at work as a lawyer, Alex is friendly, cool, chatty, and a nice guy to be around. He makes jokes, has a lot of friends, and is generally pretty happy.[/size]

[size=1]But this masks a tough interior. He believes that crime needs stopping, and that he has been given the gift to do it with, so it is his sworn duty. He believes there is not such thing as time off from this, and he sees it more as a duty than a career. He takes it seriously, and will stop at nothing to wipe out crime. Some of his methods are frowned upon, as he occasionally tkaes crime-fighting too far.[/size]

[size=1][b]Character History:[/b] To be revealed in the RP[/size]

[size=1][b]Superhuman Powers:[/b] Telekinesis, which shows itself in the form of blasts of red energy. He can use this either as blasts of telekinetic energy to throw objects (as well as people) around, or in the traditional sense, to move objects around with precision. He has mastered this talent, and as such he is now concentrating on using the telepathy that has emerged from his mind.[/size]

[size=1][b]Source of Powers:[/b] Unknown, possibly benevolent mutation[/size]

[size=1][b]Special skills:[/b] Justice is highly acrobatic, and very limber, allowing him to use his body efficiently. His strength, speed and agility have also been slightly increased due to his powers.[/size]

[size=1][b]Weapons/Gadgets:[/b] Justice can create a bladed spear (similar to a glaive) from the pure psychic energy in his mind. When it makes contact, this weapon does not kill, it simply shuts down brain function for a moment, knocking his opponent out. However, this does not work if the opponent has a particularly strong mind. If you know of Cable's "Psimitar" in X-Men, then this is the general idea.

[b]All of you have done exceptionally well with your sign-ups. There are a few other people who I know will be signing up, so I will wait for them to post a list of who is accepted and who is not. Anyone else is also free to join, and the sign-up date will probably go on after I have started the RP. Thank you all for expressing interest.[/b]

[Andrew]

Apologies if it seems rushed or something isn’t right, I just wanted to get it done and up as quickly as possible before you closed. Sounds like a great idea and if you require any chances please feel free to ask!

[CENTER][B]Superhero Name:[/B] The Hunter

[B]Real Name:[/B] Andrew J. Curtis

[B]Current Occupation:[/B] Officer worker; Junior tech support

[B]Place of Birth:[/B] South Wales, UK

[B]Marital Status:[/B] Unfortunately single

[B]Height:[/B] 5’10”

[B]Weight:[/B] 160lbs

[B]Eye Colour:[/B] Hazel

[B]Hair Colour:[/B] Light Brown.

[B]Hair Length:[/B] Andrew always has his 4 inch length of hair spiked upwards in a symmetrical and uniform manner.

[B]Clothing:[/B] [U]Casual:[/U] When going about his business Andrew just almost always wears a pair of jeans of various design and is normally accompanied by a T-shirt with some kind of picture, logo or slogan. He does sometimes wear suits for special occasions and always wears a suit for work.

[U]Superhero:[/U] When acting as The Hunter, Andrew uses his energy manipulation to thicken the air and blur his face so that only his dark eyes can be seen by onlookers. He wears a black, thin fabric jump suit all over his body, stopping at the neck, wrists and ankles. To cover his hands and feet he wears white gloves and boots respectively. A very fitting costume for the man behind the façade.

[B]Personality:[/B] Always known to be ‘THE happiest child ever’, Andrew grew up to become cynical, stoic and generally introverted because it was “the done thing”. A decision he now regrets as he finds it increasingly difficult to interact with and meet new people. Underneath Andrew has charm, wit and is certainly not as dark and miserable as most give him credit for. When fully opened up Andrew is a bit of a comedian and is known to have a sensitive streak. Although it doesn’t happen often, Andrew really enjoys the company of others who are genuine.

[B]Character History:[/B] Born into a surprisingly high class family as a healthy baby (and only child) with “Rugby player’s legs”, Andrew was treated with all the love and care one could ask for. For many years no apparent sign of his mutation existed except for his heightened smell and it was just assumed to be a great sense of smell and nothing more. It was later realised when his father began training him to hunt that Andrew was different. His eyes allowed much further and wider scope than any of the others and his ears picked up the sickening scream of the dog whistles. It also became apparent that Andrew was different when his hunting instincts took over and he required no gun, dog or other aid to trap his prey.

After these first hunting incidents, Andrew’s parents worked quickly to cover their little boy’s “difference” and stopped him from hunting. He carried on as normal for many years until the time for leaving school came. Andrew decided to attend higher education abroad and he easily had the intelligence, qualifications and financial backing from his parents to do so. Before this however, Andrew decided to travel various global locations as part of a Gap Year for the adventure.

Andrew travelled to Germany (one of his favourite Countries), France and many other European Countries, Russia, India, Africa, Both North and South America and even spent a day in Arctic. It was on his trip to one of the deserts near Death Valley that Andrew’s life was altered further. Although happy with his life choices Andrew had always had a tingling in the back of his mind that yearned for more and it was while he was dwelling on these thoughts that night in the blistering cold of the desert that the entity appeared. None of the others at the camp saw it and they all claimed Andrew had slept the entire night. But he knew differently.

A silent wind blew at his face and a pale gloom from the moon lit the area. Suddenly pictures began flashing through Andrew’s head, memories or visions of something that are still to this day nothing but blurs. Then the bright white creature showed itself and said nothing. It just starred at him with its heavenly bright eyes. And then it was gone...

Andrew was a little scared at first and asked his fellow campers if anything irregular had occurred and when they assured him he’d slept like a log he assumed it a dream, until he got back to civilisation. Slowly, Andrew began to feel sensations in his body and knowledge to use spectacular powers would throw itself at him. He successfully carried out his higher education in computer technology at Princeton...by day. Yet he secretly used his new powers to battle small time crime in the area under no particular alias. It was at this time that he re-discovered his mutant powers and became The Hunter.

While looking for a job, Andrew read of the increasing illegal activity in Justice City, a place he had visited before during his travels. He strengthened his resolved and moved to the falling city and took a job as a junior tech in one of the major office buildings close to the corruption and once again took on the persona of The Hunter and started on the rocky road of City Protector.

At first many of the citizens couldn’t decide whether he was fighting for them, against them or just looking for fame and at this point it still isn't known where Andrew’s alter ego’s loyalties lie. But despite some his light fame (or sometimes infamy), Andrew does his best to fight crime as The Hunter and continually tries to date girls (but fails) as himself!

[B]Superhuman Powers:[/B] A mutant from birth, Andrew possesses heightened super human levels of smell, sight, hearing, taste and touch. He has been known to track a car across more than five states even though it had a six-day lead on him. Andrew also possesses other abilities given to him by an unknown entity of unknown origin. Andrew can freely manipulate energy in and around his body to increase his speed and strength as well as alter the force of gravity acting on him so that he can defy gravity. He can also manifest and refine energy in its rawest form to use as shields, projectiles and various other things. Thus far, the extent of each of these abilities has not been recorded or fully tested to their limits.

[B]Source of Powers:[/B] Benevolent mutation and a mysterious entity with untold abilities.

[B]Special Skills:[/B] Andrew has designed his own form of combat based on his abilities, although he is still learning and perfecting.

[B]Weapons/Gadgets:[/B] Andrew uses no gadgets at this time; He has however, been known to use various pieces of his surroundings as a makeshift/temporary weapon in various situations.[/CENTER]

[B][U]Real Name:[/U][/B] Adrian C. Elmore
[B][U]Current Occupation:[/U][/B] Reporter for Justice City's newspaper: The Herald
[B][U]Place of Birth:[/U][/B] New York City, New York
[B][U]Marital Status:[/U][/B] A single bachelor
[B][U]Height:[/U][/B] 6' 5"
[B][U]Weight:[/U][/B] 200 lbs
[B][U]Eye Color:[/U][/B] Amber
[B][U]Hair Color:[/U][/B] Blondish brown
[B][U]Hair Length:[/U][/B] Adrian's hair length is usually down to his shoulders or cut very short.
[B][U]Clothing:[/U][/B] Adrian's casual clothes usually consist of a pair of jeans, a pair of tennis shoes, a T-shirt featuring his favoirte music group: Led Zepplin, and a leather jacket. His costume consists of a skintight suit that's blue and white. The sleeves are cut off so his arms are more exposed and he wears a mask that goes over his eyes. The eyes of the mask are white and are lenses so no one will know his identity. He wears boots that are blue in color and end below his knees. His suit though is made out of a stronger version of Kevlar, meaning its bulletproof, but is very lightweight.
[B][U]Personality:[/U][/B] Adrian is usually outgoing and pretty social. He used to be a party boy in high school. However, his other moods are moderate if not noticable. When he's his alter ego though, he's usually cocky and tends to provoke the villans when he's fighting them or if civillians are on the line he'll talk to the person so as to distract them.
[B][U]Character History:[/U][/B] Adrian was your ordinary high school jock. Muscular, obnoxious at times, decent grades, and he was a party boy. However, when he was a freshman he realized his powers.

At first it started when he was in gym class. The boys were playing football and Adrian had just been handed the ball. That's when the biggest freshman in his class went to tackle him. The result was Adrian closed his eyes and expected to be slammed into the ground, but he wasn't. He felt the thud but then he looked down and the guy was sitting on his butt with a look of confusion on his face and then he started rubbing his shoulder and mumbling about how it hurt.

After that when Adrian arrived home and went to go play basket ball in his backyard. As he was shooting hoops, the ball went off the backboard and into the branches of one of the nearby trees. When Adrian neared the tree he noticed that his father had cut the lower branches off and he couldn't climb the thing. That's when he realized he was going upwards. A large pillar of earth had formed under him and had lifted him upwards. When he'd reached the ball he looked down and thought of getting down, that's when the pillar sank back down into the ground. Later on that night one of his friend's who was a sophomore showed up late at night and asked him to come with him to a party. Adrian snuck out and went to the party with his friend. When he'd gotten there he was greeted by a bunch of friends and then the guy who'd tackled Adrian earlier that day. The bruiser strode up to Adrian and tried to slug him but he fell through Adrian and onto his face. Some people thought that they were seeing things but when the guy tried it again and this time fell through and hit the wall, everyone stared at Adrian.

The next day at school everyone was treating Adrian like he was an untouchable. At lunch he had two food trays dumped on him, the food though phased right through him. This proceeded even at Junior Varsity football games. When Adrian was put into play he was booed and mocked, though most of his team mates had a lot of respect for him. As the year progressed, Adrian managed to gain control over his powers and he soon realized he could not only phase through people but walls and other solid objects. He was also able to turn hard as diamond and of course he could manipulate the earth, ground, etc.

Adrian's Sophomore and Junior years were pretty much uneventful. His Senior year though was mind boggoling. The first day ended up with a gang of freshmen trying to pick a fight with him for most of the day, he just ignored them and usually phased through one of them to scare the crap out of him. But that didn't stop the persistent buggers. Instead when he and his girlfriend were leaving the local movie theater the brats showed up again and this time they had brought some weapons with them. They consisted of a bat, crowbar, and a chain. They surrounded the two and Adrian got angry, his eyes flared and he threw up a barrier of earth to protect his girlfriend and then he phased through it and that's when the violence started.

"Kill the freak!" they yelled as they attacked Adrian, but he'd turned into diamond and their weapons had no effect on him. "My turn?" He'd asked them and then he merely punched them out and shifted back to normal. He then called the police and had the punks arrested and he and his girlfriend left.

The ride home however was different. His girlfriend was angry that he'd used his powers and that she wanted to break up with him and if he was going to use his powers all the time he should be one of those costumed heroes fighting crime all the time. That's when Adrian decided he would do that.

During the day Adrian was your normal student while at night he was Diamond. He chose the name because he usually was diamond when he fought criminals etc. When he graduated and moved to Justice City he decided to work for its newspaper and be a super hero at the same time.

[B][U]Superhuman Powers:[/U][/B] Adrian, as explained above, has the powers to turn his body into diamond. Meaning he's as hard as one and can inflict serious physical damage. He also can phase through solid objects including people. He also has the power to manipulate earth, rock, etc (think of Terra from the Teen Titans for reference of this power.)

[B][U]Source of Powers:[/U][/B] Adrian's powers are that of a mutation that hit him during puberty in high school.

[B][U]Special Skills:[/U][/B] Adrian has been trained in hand-to-hand combat and is really good at martial arts.

[B][U]Weapons/Gadgets:[/U][/B] Adrian's mask is able to let him see in all spectrums. Such as X-Ray, infrared, ultra violet, etc.[/CENTER][/SIZE]

[b]Clothing: [/b][url="http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24844"]Here is what he looks like normally[/url], minus the jewlery and silver nails, plus a smirk like expression on his face. He normally wears an outfit to the effect of the one in the picture, though occasionally he will wear dark denim jeans, and a T-Shirt or a Long sleeved dress shirt.[/size][/color]
[size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred]Hero - See attachment. For his superhero guise Dark went for something darker. Something that would cause fear in those who defied the law. To change into this outfit Dark merely has to shift into the Dark Dimension, or Hades as he calls it. He doesn't know how it happens or even what the outfit is made out of, but while in the dimension he can materialize the outfit to himself. His hair doubles in length and becomes pitch black, while his eyes glow crimson red.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1][b]Personality:[/b] Generally Dark is charming, well spoken, and informative. While like this, he is very social, although some what manipulative. His ability to blend in, and smooth tounge earned him the nickname Lucifer, or Prince of Lies in the CIA. He is very intelligent, boasting good insticts as well as having a great amount of common sense and street smarts. Though, on the other side he has a very quiet, reserved side that would much prefer the silence of solitude, compaired to the chaos of crowds. [/size][/color]
[size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred]Though because of his training, he can be cold hearted, and willing to deliver justice permanently. Although he is slow to anger when enraged, logic and reason go out the window. He becomes brutal, something which he works very hard to contain. That is the darkest part of him, another person you could say, a part of him he doesn't like to show to anyone, guilty or innocent.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1][b]Character History:[/b] Born to a single mother in Chicago, things didn't look to good for Dark to start out with. During his younger years, he deffinately ran with the wrong crowd. Though he always seemed to be the lucky one, never getting caught, always catching breaks. Academically his test scores were excellent, top of his class though his grades failed to show anything. [/size][/color]
[size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred]His life turned around when he saw one of his friends shot and killed in the cross fire of a gang shoot out. The loss left Dark lost and confused. Not knowing how to cope, he shut down and fell into a deep depression. This lasted for about a year, once ended Dark was almost a completely different person. His grades rapidly raised to match his test scores, and he joined the football and fencing team. He soon found himself graduating High School at the top of his class,. From there he headed to college on a fencing scholarship, Majoring in Mythology, something he found a fondness for as a child, while he minored in Psycology. It was shortly after graduating that he was recruited by the CIA. [/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred]At first he thought it was a joke, a practical joke being played on him by a college buddy. Those thoghts were soon cast away as he found himself surrounded in foreign affairs. He had been drafted so to say into an espianage unit. His job to infiltrate unknown military fractions, sabotage them from the inside, and hopefully expose them to the world. He excelled greatly in his assignments, halting and bringing to the survace many treaty violations, and terrorist threats.[/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred]His life changed for the second time when he was deep undercover in a secret military fraction. Some how he was exposed, and soon found himself in containment, while the prepared to experiment on him. They had been experimenting with dimensional travel, and just found their human test subject. [/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred]The process nearly killed Dark, as he was exposed to direct radiation before entering an unknown dimension for a few brief seconds, although it was an eternity of pain for him. The monitored him closely over the next several months. The side effects from the experiment began to manifest as soon as Dark began to recover. He had somehow recieved superhuman strength, speed and agility. This was just the beginning, his most interesting abilities are what allowed him to escape.[/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred]After several months he began to notice parts of his body to seemingly dissapear, to reappear shortly. soon he would awake during the night, but not to the surroundings he fell asleep in, the were the same but different, darker and more distorded, as well as being somewhat ethreal. Curious Dark began to try and trigger this on command, at first bearing no result, though after much practice he found that he could will it to happen. Also he was returning to the dimension that he had been sent to. As he continued to experiment, he found that in the Dark Dimension as he called it, he could manipulate his surrounding. Gravity held no bounds for him there, and later he found he could move quicker through the space here. The time he could spend was limited, though it increased with each journey.. It took awhile for him to realize that the dimensions were connected and moving in one was equivilent to moving in the other. [/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred]Using his new gifts he escaped back to America, and the CIA who had long thought him dead. After a psyc evaluation he was found unfit for duty, that the stress of his inprisonment had altered his conscience, though his new found abilities could be more than useful to them. Reluctantly the CIA released him, keeping minor tabs on him. They allow him to use his abilities freely, as well as help people and serve Justice with them. They hope that after some time back in the mix of things will revert him, allowing them to recruit him once again. To fight crime he adopted the alias Charon from Greek Myth, the ferryman to the underworld, someone on both sides but none. Because of this he often refers to the Dark Dimension as Hades.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1][b]Superhuman Powers:[/b] Charon his able to teleport himself by moving through an alternate dimension. In the dimension the rules of physics seem to be altered or non-existant, allowing him to move between two points faster teleporting, as well as being able to teleport to great heights. He can teleport people with him as long as he has direct contact with him, if contact is broken during teleporting the person will remain in the dark dimension, unable to survive for long under the harsh conditions.[/size][/color]
[size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred]Another manefestation of his powers is the ability to summon tools out of Hades. The tools, mainly weapons are obsidian like in appearance, though hard as diamonds, sturdy as tugstin steel and light as aluminum. Charon normally uses this to summon swords or projectile like knives.[/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size]
[size=1][color=darkred]The strain on his body from the experiment left him with increased speed, agility, strength and endurance. While exposure to the dark dimension has given Dark heightened sight, the uncanny ability to see in complete darkness.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1][b]Source of Powers:[/b] Dimensional Experiment

[b]Special Skills:[/b] Dark has a wide range of special skills from his education and past profession. These include lock picking, Skilled in firearms, Skilled in the use of bladed weapons, Skilled in hand to hand, decifering script, as well as several powerful connection in government offices.

[b]Place of Birth[/b]: ????? [Was first found within Manchuria in 1944].

[b]Gender[/b]: Female.

[b]Age[/b]: Appears to be in her early teens.

[b]Marital Status[/b]: Single.

[b]Height[/b]: 5' 01".

[b]Weight[/b]: She is too shy to tell. She is quite petite, though.

[b]Eye Colour[/b]: Unnaturally crimson.

[b]Hair Colour[/b]: Red.

[b]Hair Length[/b]: Short to Medium length.

[b]Appearance/Clothing[/b]: Everyday- Her everyday attire is whatever casual outfit she wants. When working she has been known to wear a traditional Chinese outfit to match the general feel of her shop. She could have a slight attachment to her first 'homeland' as well but it is impossible to tell.

[url=http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/566/tragedy0ey.jpg]Superhero[/url] [Click to see her Superhero outfit/General Appearance] - Lacking the desire to have a real costume, her outfit is merely a normal dress matched with black boots. She has debated recently about if she should acquire a mask of some time to shield her identity totally from anyone who might see her but has not taken any steps to do so yet.

[b]Personality[/b]: Amidst a slightly quiet personality she has glimmers of charisma hidden here and there. She is pleasant when she speaks and is generally optimistic when pressed for her opinion as she sees no reason to rain on anyone's parade. She has a keen intellect and can offer advice to those that desire it from her. She has a rather extensive ring of good, personal friends that she enjoys being with whenever she possibly can. Her attitude with crime is rather low-key compared to other heroes. She is quietly vigilant in her dedication to destroying the perceived evil within Justice City. It's hard to tell if this is out of genuine philanthropy or dedication to duty.

[b]Character History[/b]: In 1944 the puppet-government of Manchukuo reported to Japanese authorities about a strange series of ruins north west of Harbin. An official investigation of the ruins was ordered and a dispatch of scientists was sent. They discovered an anomalous and unexplainable leak of energy from within the ruins that left them befuddled. Attempts to enter the ruins failed repeatedly but the scientists persisted. Their dedication to unlocking the mystery of the ruins finally bore fruition after a year of continual efforts. Within the newly-revealed inner sanctum of the ruins they found a young girl locked within a crystalline prison. This discovery rendered them completely and totally confused as to who or what she was. The official government of Japan ordered the removal of the entire crystal structure itself for immediate transport to the main island of Honshu where it could be better researched.

The excavation process took several months of hard work but she eventually ended up as the property of a secretive research facility just east of Kyoto. They did extensive trials to try to free the girl from her prison. Numerous ways were attempted- cutting it, blowing it up, attempting 'spells', radio waves and almost anything else you could imagine. Nothing worked. The entire, seemingly complex puzzle was solved by, of all things, an accident- a scientist suffered a minor injury with some of the equipment being used. His blood spilt onto the face of the crystal and immediately a crack opened along it's surface. The one crack cascaded into dozens as the crystal prison fragmented with astonishing speed. The young girl descended slowly to the floor and stood before them, fully awake. They stared at her in awe and got only a confused stare back from her. The attempts at communicating with her were met with only silence. Clueless as to what steps they should take next, they locked her up in a nominally tolerable research cell for future tests or experiments.

These plans were cut short as Japan capitulated to the Allies within a week of her awakening. She was turned over to the Allied forces who were at an equal loss as to what to do with her. She was shipped back to America and placed in somewhat more cushy research cell. Attempts at communicating with her were more fruitful than the ones in Japan. She was given a home, an official name and, ever so slowly, a purpose for her existence. A decision was made to try to educate her in various academic subjects. She showed a voracious appetite for knowledge [once she could understand what she was reading] and they escalated her education program- she still couldn't get enough. As she learned, the first glimmers of her powers flickered into life within the confines of her environment. Entire rooms full of the most beautiful and sharp crystals as she cautiously experimented with her new founded abilities. Startled at this strange power and her sharp intellect, the American government began to toy with the idea of training her for use as an operative against their new enemy- the USSR.

The idea floated around the bureaucratic offices of the CIA for several years. It was hard for them to accept that a little girl could be of any use in a global conflict but it was undeniable that she had potential as an operative. Finally, there was approval from the higher ups to see how well she accepted military training and conditioning. The results were outstanding- she took to the training with the same sort of hunger as she did with academic subjects. A green light was given to train her and within a couple of years she was fit and ready for duty. She was predominately involved in covert operations where her unassuming appearance or academic skills would be of great use. She spent the next few decades in and out of hotspots around the globe- Berlin, Korea, Operation Ajax, Vietnam, Operation Urgent Fury and the Soviet-Afghan War. She skillfully served her country without much question, considering it to be the closest thing to a homeland she had. As the years past her aging was noticeably slower than humans. Forty years had past and she barely looked like a teenager. Even though she looked so young, she had outlived the conflict that she had been created to fight in. The Soviet Union disintegrated into several pieces, leaving the world a slightly more stable place. Within America, though, there was a cesspit of instability and criminal activity- Justice City. She was assigned to try to curtail the criminal hold on the city and has been there for 6 to 7 years.

[b]Superhuman Powers[/b]: Can instantly manipulate and create any sort of crystalline elements, including glass. The scale on which she can do this is massive and unnerving to most non-heroes. It can be used for offensive or defensive purposes.

She has superb agility, speed, reaction times and eyesight as well. Definitely a fighter who uses finesse over strength.

[b]Weaknesses[/b]: She is very weak to hallucinatory or illusionary powers/drugs and is physically weaker than most other heroes due to her smaller size.

[b]Source of Powers[/b]: It is thought that the powers are natural for whatever species she is. As she is relatively young for her species it is feasible that she will grow more powerful as she ages.

[b]Special Skills[/b]: Battle veteran, fluent in several foreign languages, skilled in subterfuge, sword fighting skills second only to Charon's formidable repertoire, extensive knowledge of mystical artifacts.

[b]Weapons/Gadgets[/b]: A longsword she acquired in Korea nicknamed "Izanami".[/color]

[KKC]

[size=1]This sounds like a good RP.
--------
[b]Superhero Name[/b]: The Spark or also known as Sparky

[b]Real Name[/b]: Thomas M. Schwartz

[b]Age[/b]: 20

[b]Current Occupation[/b]: College Student (sophomore) and works part time at an art store.

[b]Place of Birth[/b]: New York City, New York

[b]Marital Status[/b]: Single

[b]Height[/b]: 5?11

[b]Weight[/b]: 175 lbs.

[b]Eye Color[/b]: Dark Blue

[b]Hair Color[/b]: Blond

[b]Hair Length[/b]: When it?s wet it comes down past his ears, but usually he spikes it up with gel.

[b]Clothing[/b]: Normal: Thomas usually wakes up in the morning, falls out of bed, and puts on whatever he thinks is clean. He mostly just wears jean, trainers, and a buttoned up shirt with a t-shirt under it. To him these are his casual clothes. For work everything is the same, but he has to wear tan pants instead of blue jeans. In the winter time he?s always wearing a scarf. He has a lot of them.

Hero (sorry, no pic): The basis of the outfit is a black body suit. He then wears yellow gloves and boots, each that have lightning bolt (zig zag) design to them. He also has a lightning bolt shaped belt that he wears around his waist. The top of the body suit (where the neck is) form into a mask that covers Thomas? mouth and nose. The goggles he wears over his eyes are black with yellow tented lenses. On his chest is his ?symbol? which is two lightning bolt crossing each other to make an X.

[b]Personality[/b]: Thomas is a young, friendly, carefree and fun man who always seems to be on the cheery side. He?s always making bad jokes and puns, but even though he?s not meant to be a comedian, he?s usually the one who can turn a frown upside down. Thomas is very open minded and usually speaks his mind, even when it would be wise not to. His common sense level can be kind of low sometimes. He?s full of energy and loves to talk to someone, even if it?s a boring conversation he always seems to be interested in it. Though, like every cheery person, Thomas has a bad temper. When he gets angry he becomes a complete opposite of what he really is: cold, serious, and quiet. Luckily, he?s pretty good at controlling his anger and you would have to do something really bad to make his true anger emerge. Thomas is all about doing the right the thing and punishing those who cause chaos in the world.

[b]Character History[/b]: Born in New York City Thomas was an only child to his father, Karl Schwartz. His mother had cancer and died when he was just a toddler, leaving the two alone in the big city. Thomas was an understanding a lovable child, knowing that his father was only gone from home a lot so that he could keep Thomas happy. Despite the fact that his father wasn?t always around, Thomas somehow managed to get through school with good grades and not fall into the wrong crowd of gangs, drugies, ect. Most of this was thanks to his best friend Aaron. When they first met Thomas was a shy kid who didn?t have many friends because he didn?t talk much. One day he was minding his own business at lunch time (he was eating by himself) with this crazy red haired kid sat next to him and started blabbing as if they had known each other sense birth. Thomas realized that this kid knew how to live his life, and decided he wanted to live his too. He became more talkative, fun loving, and people enjoyed his company. Aaron and him were like brothers and always stuck together.

It wasn?t until their senior year in High School that it happened. Thomas? chemistry class took a field trip to an actually laboratory that was running tests (it was a stormy day). Of course, for safety precautions the students had to watch from another room that had window to the testing lab. Aaron, being the strange person he was, wanted to get a closer look and somehow convinced Thomas to put on some lab coats they found on a coat rack, sneak into the testing room, and act like they were scientists. It was going well at first, no one in the room seamed to notice them. The storm continued outside and Thomas picked up a vile filled with bubbling yellow goo. Just as he did a bolt of lightning struck through a slightly opened window, hitting the vile Thomas picked up and caused the chemicals in the lab to explode in a massive chain reaction. Thomas was the only one who survived, they found him curled up under a piece of plaster. No one knew how he survived and decided that he was just an extremely lucky person.

As the months passed the accident became but a memory and Thomas? body started to do strange things. His reactions were quicker, he could think faster and run faster. The strangest thing however was his ability to create electricity from his body. This first occurred when he kicked a metal bucket and a spark erupted from his foot (how he got his name). He discovered that he could send electric currents through a conductor like Metal. He also discovered that when he rubbed his feet on a rug and then touched something else, it would stick to him (or he would stick to it). At first Thomas didn?t want these powers. They reminded him of the accident, something he wanted to forget, but then he thought of Aaron, who had died just months earlier. He wouldn?t have tried to run away from these powers.
Thomas decided it would be best if he went to Liberty City, a place where crime was high and heroes were needed. He applied at the University of Liberty and was accepted. He keeps his identity secret because he thinks it?s a chick magnet, go figure.

[b]Superhuman Powers[/b]: After the lab explosion, highly charged particles formed inside of his body and he became a conductor of electric currents. He is able to send these currents out through his arms, legs, and sometimes his whole body. He can also use another object as a conductor, like a piece of wire or metal. The electricity from his body will pass into the other object and travel through it. He can also stick to things if he builds up enough static electricity in his body. Thomas can control his powers by how strong they are. His power ranges from a simple shock to a powerful lightning bolt. The particles in his body also allow him to think faster, react faster, and his speed has increased as well.

[b]Source of Powers[/b]: Laboratory Accident (explained in History)

[b]Special Skills[/b]: He?s strangely good at sneaking up on people.

[b]Weapons/Gadgets[/b]: Multipurpose Goggles: Not only are they good at hiding his identity, but these goggles have other uses as well. When it?s dark a button can be clicked and body heat can be read, possibly giving the user an advantage. These goggles can also zoom in across distances giving the user the ability to see things farther away. The goggles also have a built in radio so he can listen to tunes or the police. [/size]

[B]Character History:[/B] [Will Edit]

[B]Superhuman Powers:[/B] As indicated by his "Hero Name", Maze is a master of the illusionary arts, capable of making people see exactly what he wants them to see. In some cases, Maze will simply alter people's perceptions to go unnoticed, at other times he will use his powers to convince enemies that they are entirely outnumbered or faced with multiple versions of Maze from which there is no distinction. In one or two instances, Maze has subjected powerful enemies to illusionary terrors and reduced them to quivering masses as to be unable to resist apprehension. While Maze is not entirely comfortable with tormenting people with their worst horrors, as a Hero, he will do what he must.

[B]Source of Powers:[/B] Unknown, the exact source of Maze's abilities are as they were when they first appeared, a complete mystery, work-ups on his DNA show no abnormalities often associated with overt superhuman powers, nor do they give any indication as to genetic alterations performed upon him at any previous stage. Maze cannot recall any instances where he may have been subjected to experimentation that may have given him his powers, though he admits his memories could have been falsified given the proper technology.

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=2][FONT=Times New Roman][B]Superhero Name:[/B] Aira

[B]Real Name: [/B]Stefan Lysandar

[B]Current Occupation: [/B] College student (Senior year), and a part time job working at a library.

[B]Place of Birth:[/B] Somewhere around the Antarctic circle.

[B]Gender:[/B] Male

[B]Age:[/B] He appears to be in the early to mid 20's

[B]Marital Status:[/B] Single

[B]Height:[/B] 6' 0"

[B]Weight: [/B] 190 lbs

[B]Eye Colour: [/B] An icy green

[B]Hair Colour:[/B] The same as his eyes.

[B]Hair Length: [/B] short to medium length.

[B]Appearance:[/B] in his more casual wear, Stefan mostly looks a lot like [URL=http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/1498/db004cb.jpg]this[/URL] besides the fact of his hair and eye color. Mostly on his buttoned down shirts however he wears a T-shirt and also has a necklace that has an emerald ringed on it which is a personal item to him.

Wile he is fighting as a superhero however he looks more like [URL=http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/2791/kaze1sz.jpg]this[/URL]. The ears on him must have come from the same place that his powers had came from. His most notable changes are around both his hair and eye color.

[B]Personality:[/B] When someone considers where it was that Stefan had grew up in. He has a kind of out going manner. He would love to try and play games no matter what the cost or outcome of the game would have turned out to be. When he does tend to play around to much it has lead him to many near death situations. However this is one trait he doesn?t really mind as the evil like smile is the last thing that many have seen before their deaths. When he isn?t really into playing some kinds of games he can also be seen reading books here and again since it is one of his favorite things to do.

[B]Character History: [/B] Even Stefan isn?t to sure of where it was he was born exactly since the Antarctic continent is a rather big place and most of it isn?t really charted well. His parents were explorers, mostly trekking to the rougher parts of the world and charting the previously un-chartable areas of the known world. They had just happened to be in Antarctica when he was born so he just takes that to be his home place of birth. He was forced to learn many kinds of survival and first aid abilities since he planned on doing the same kind of thing when he was to grow up. However there was an incident that had forced him to re consider this kid of work.

The age isn?t really confirmed but around the age of ten, Stefan's father had gotten a kind of cancer. Where it was from however is something that they did not know of. It was said that he had a kind of skin cancer, his father had thought that it must have been from the depletion of the ozone layer. The though of what had actually happened to him still rings in Stefan's mind.Even the last conversation that he remembes with his father still rings inside his mind.

[I]"Mom.."[/I] the 10 year old Stefan said to his mother wile his father just lied on the bed sweating badly[I]? What is wrong with dad?....He is going to get better right..?" [/I] The child?s voice was confused and worried as his Father's nearly lifeless body lied peacefully on the bed.[I]"......." [/I] were the only thing that his mother had to reply to him. She could not bear to bring herself to tell Stefan that his father was about to die. Stefan however clung to his father's arm which in the moments that they had been talking, had grown lifeless and cold. [I]" Dad....Come on dad you need to wake up. There is still much more to chart...Dad..." [/I] Tears began to stream down his face as some men came into the room and after covering his fathers face with a blanket, picked up the body and began to walk off. Stefan's first instinct was to go and chase after them but his mother however stopped him from doing such a futile action [I]" No Mom...They cant take him away. If they do then how is he suppose to get better from all of this?...He wont be able to come back if we cant find him.." [/I] Stefan's words began to trail off slightly as he fell to the ground with a large thump. He had caught a similar sickness that his father had however the one that he had was slightly different. The only thing that the boy was holding was the piece of an Emerald that his father had given to him the night before.

After that precise moment, Stefan and his mother both moved to justice city after hearing about their medical program for such a sickness. It was hopefully the one place where a younger Stefan would be able to advert the same kind of a fate that his father had. The following couple of years were indeed intense and pain staking as parts of his DNA had been altered by the rays of the sun. He was growing into something totally different. After being released from the hospital being told that by some kind of a miracle he was cured from his illness, Stefan began to live a normal kind of a life in Justice City. Leaving his old kind of life behind for a new one and could even begin his dream of trying to be a librarian.

One day however wile he was in the middle of his high school year, Stefan found that when he though he was cured he really wasn?t. He awoke one day with feline like ears.. He was wondering where exactly they had come from but just though that it was his imagination playing some kind of trick on him. Later on in that same day after plainly swiping his hand down, a gust of wind followed behind it sending many things in his room flying about. He knew that this was some kind of a sign...Hopefully for the good however.

Once Stefan had finished his training in high school and moved onto his Freshman year in College he had fully trained himself to control his powers. He had become quite talented in using his skills and knew that in some way or another, he could be doing something else with them. He then became the mysterious neko like hero codenamed Aira.

[B]Superhuman Power:[/B] As said in his history and slightly hinted at in his super hero name. Stefan can manipulate the air around him as a weapon. It can be used mostly for offence and used slightly in defense but not really effectively as when he attacks. One of the benefits from it though is that he can fly and move quickly to evade many but not all attacks.

[B]Source of Powers:[/B] As mentioned in the history, his powers came from the mysterious warping of his DNA from radiation from the sun through the broken Ozone layer.

[B]Special Skills[/B]: The only special skill that Stefan really has is his fluid movement without the use of his powers. This had may come from his inheritance of some cat like properties which he had also gained when his DNA was warped.

[B]Weapons/Gadgets:[/B] After much practicing in one of his years in College, Stefan is trained in the use of lances. The lance he uses however has a rather large blade at the end of it. He has named his weapon Hiems.

[Starwind]

Superhero Name: Black Barrel

Real Name: Eric Kodon

Current Occupation: part-time cab driver/part-time gun shop cashier.

Place of Birth: Miami, FL

Gender: Male

Marital Status: Married, no kids.

Age: 24

Height: 5'9

Weight: 174 lbs

Eye color: Smoky grey

Hair color: Dark brown

Hair length: Tailing at just above shoulder length, with long side burns.

Appearance:[IMG]http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/GeneOutlaw/CoolGunman.jpg[/IMG] He sometimes where's a black ski mask if neccesary, but since he works at night he usually doesn't need it.

Personality: A socialite by nature, but he finds the people here to be a little hard to stomach. He's the kind of guy you'd expect to mind his own business and ignore a person in need, and normally you'd be right. Outside of his attire he is not much different from so many other people in this city. He only takes on thsi righteous attitude once he goes to work. He does enjoy being with people, but can be pretty easily irratated. He hates seeing crimes going unpunished and that seems like it's all he sees in this city.

Character History: Born to simple beginings in southern Florida near Miami. He was brought up in a slum neighborhood. Gangs ruled supreme, despite the polices best efforts. The most feared being the "Crips" and the "Bloods". These are the two most feared and hated gangs where he lived. Death due to one of there gang fights was all to common. IT was so bad for a while that people actually started to ignore it, it had just become such a part of life there, people almost felt akward when some one wasn't shot.

In this atmosphere it was easy to over look a small child like himself, and so he was. he learned early on how to identify a gun by the sound of the shot alone. The smell of gunpowder and blood became infused in his nostrils. Even the lightest hint of either could get his attention. This was his childhood and he made the best of it. He found his first gun at the age of six and used it for the first time three months later. He shot a gang member attempting to break in, probably for drug money. The media responded with mixed calls. Some called him a young hero, others a future vigilante. In the end I suppose both were right.

He lived out his young life there, going to elementary, middle adn even high school in that place. He moved fromt here at the age of 19, convinced he would get away from it all. When he left he brought with him his girlfriend. they had been together since middle school and he wouldn't leave her there. On the day he asked her he proposed to her as well. They were married young, in a very shotgun style, but that was all they needed. They traveld nomadicly for a almost a year, before they came to Justice City. He hoped the name would be some indication of a bright future. It turned out to be an oximoron. A city with endless crime called Justice city, it was like a bad joke. But they had nowhere else to go, so they took up in a small apartment. His wife, Tiffany, wanted to go back to school, and he supported this. He left and started signing up for jobs, so she could go to school and he could work.

He got a job driving a cab, but decided only on part-time since he hated driving himself let alone someone else. To only add to the irony of his life, he got his next part-timer at a gun shop running the register. He didn't like being around guns, but he was also pretty used to it, so he just went with it.

About a year after coming to the city, he had his first epiphany toward his final destiny. He was closing the shop one night when the highly expected happend. Two armed thugs came in for money and whatever they had in stock. Eric knew this scene all to well, he knew after they had what they wanted they were going to kill him and the store owner. The whole event happend in less then minute from when they enterd the store. Without a thought, he threw a clip board that was behind him from inventory at one of the two and dropped to a roll as the other opend fire. He popped up to the right of the register, colt 45 magnum in hand, and opend fire on them in return. He hit and killed both of them. This was the second time he had to kill someone and he hoped it to be the last. How foolish was that?

He was comended by the store owner, the only other person there at the time. The old man seemed much happier then he should have been after just seeing him kill two people, but he supposed it was just the way of this city. The old man, named Ulessys Redderic, wanted to reward him for his "fine work". The old man was something of a gun officianado. He praticed in not only selling, but making new guns. He gave Eric some strange looking new pistol, it was black and had a second one, completeing the pair. The man then pulled out a large tool box looking case. He opend it and inside was a whole a array of bullets of every different kind. The man began to explain what each one was. One to render unconsiousness, ne to simulate a kill shot, one with an EMP pulse emitter, one with a GPS tracker, One for armor piercing, one explosive type round. The old man took great pride as he showed them off to Eric. He then took his into his office and opend a locker on the wall. Inside was a white jump suit, that he said was the most effective form of keplar one could have. He told him to take it and use it as he saw fit, and if he ever needed help he would just need to come to him and ask for more if the need should come.

He wasn't sure what he was trying to tell him til the old man made it very blatant. He said he needed him to use them, because he couldn't. He needed his help. He took up this calling, Eric had seen enough crime so he was going to make it better.

Super human power: He has the gift of heightend senses. His eye sight, his hearing, his smell, his touch, and even his sense of taste are almost five times that of your normal human, making him a powerful marksman.

Source of Power: His years in his hell hole of a home, forced him to recognize these things. Smell of gun powder, the giggle made by the hammer before it goes off, the sound of a paticular guns muzzel blast, the feel of the grooves on the hammer. He learned to recognize all these things, which in turn made his sense much more sensitive to even slight variations.

Speacial skills: Standard lock picking skills. He speaks spanish and a little arabic.

Gadgets: Two black eigth shoot revolvers. Various different bullet types: EMP bullets, explosive bullets, Subduement bullets (render unconsiousness for 12 hours), Reaper Bullets (simulate kill shot without actual death, effects up to ten hours), Traker bullets, and Finally 45 caliber armor peircing rounds for the nasty work. Bullet proof vest, and fiber strengthend pant legs (Fiber Strength= New age military technology using a unique cloth to relieve physical strain on wearer, making them seem twice as strong)

[size=1]Ok, Starwind is in. I like your character, he's a bit different to a lot of the others.

[/size] [QUOTE] anything I can do to get on that list[/QUOTE]
[size=1]digiX, a prime example of why you didn't make it onto the list. Your grammar, punctuation and general writing skills were just not quite up to scratch. And I could let you in if you improved them, but ask yourself this: would it really be fair to the other players who didn't get in?

So a new addition to the cast list is:

[b]Starwind aka Black Barrel

EDIT: [/b]JUSTICE CITY IS NOW UP IN THE ADVENTURE SQUARE. ANYONE ELSE WHO STILL WISHES TO SIGN UP WILL BE ADDED TO THE CAST LIST AT A LATER DATE. YOU HAVE UNTIL WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 28 TO SIGN UP. AFTER THAT, THIS THREAD WILL BE CLOSED.
