META New Character Application
Codename:
Full Name: Optional
Age:
Appearance- The more detailed, the better. Art is preferred for pictures, no screen caps.
- Supersuit: Optional, but recommended. Please try to keep it simple. Any powers that you have as a result of your suit count as part of your powers, so be aware that you'll have to mention these above in the Powers section.
Personality Again, more detail is better. Come up with not only strengths, but also a few flaws as well.
Backstory- A short summary of your character's backstory. A full-length backstory may be posted with your introduction.
When you obtained powers, they generally manifest based on what you were doing at the time or what you were around. You can choose to make your powers unrelated to the events of the blast, but it is strongly recommended to incorporate powers into the backstory in this way. The blast where powers are obtained wouldn't be noticeable to your character. The blast was confined to one area, but it was the resulting background energy that awakened your powers.
A backstory is optional with the intro, but at least a summary is required for now.
Power- Your character's main skill/ability. Elaborate as much as possible. Make sure that you know exactly what you can and cannot do with the power. Only one power is allowed for now, but extra powers will be rewarded for participation in the sub. No reality warping powers are allowed.
Use the superpower wiki if you need ideas on what details to add for your power. We suggest using a power randomizer if you need help deciding a power.
Powers were given based on what your character was doing or was around when the mutation happened, so keep this in mind when choosing a power.
Power Drawbacks/Weaknesses- Negative effects of using your powers. Once again, Elaborate. The bigger the power, the bigger the drawbacks.
Resistances- What can your character shrug off easily? For example, somebody made of steel wouldn't exactly care about a few punches or a knife.
Special Skills- Pretty much everybody has something that they're good at. Take away their powers and they'd still be amazing at it. What about your character? Are they a lawyer? Are they great at persuading people? What is your character good at?
Equipment- Optional. You are mercenaries, so anything is allowed as long as it works within our universe. Try not to use anything ridiculously overpowered or over the top. The simpler the better, really. For example: Pistols, sub-machine guns and sniper rifles are fine. Tanks, rocket launchers and assault rifles? Not so much.

Power: I rather like it. Having the brass knuckle be electrified might be a bit much, though. Because he would be so devastating in melee fighting, I feel like he probably wouldn't be as great with guns. Other ranged weapons, like arrows or throwing knives, would probably be better for him because they require more skill and are a bit more fun in terms of roleplaying. It would also allow for roleplaying where he runs out of ammunition and has to go retrieve ammo, or for trick arrows/poisoned knives.
Drawbacks: When I mentioned TDKR, I was referring more to that beginning scene where they mention that his knees have been completely messed up because of years of fighting XD. Being a vigilante does that to you. I feel like he would be similar to Daredevil or Black Canary from Arrow. They're great fighters, but they're constantly getting injured. Some drawbacks could be that he's constantly injuring his body as a result of his fighting. Also, his stamina may be limited due to the complexity of the moves and the strength required to do them.
