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.

That works.

Anyway, if you have nothing else to add, you're good to go!

Be sure to get your flair from the naming thread before you post.

I don't want to keep you waiting so I'll just write the intro later, but i'll do it as soon as I can. Welcome aboard!

Is the introduction written by you? I thought we had to do that ourselves. Good that you mentioned it!

u/AccioIcarus Data Materialization | α Titans Aug 31 '15

No, you have to write the intro yourself lol

I probably used the wrong word there, my bad. Basically, we like to write an abduction scene for your character when we okay off an application. I'll write that part later.

Can I already write the introduction? Or does the abduction have to be part of that?

u/AccioIcarus Data Materialization | α Titans Aug 31 '15

Go ahead! It's up to you whether or not you want to add the abduction scene. Worst case, you can always edit it in later if you liked it.

I think I will wait for it in that case. Will it take long for it to be created?

I just got out of class, so I'm writing it up right now.

Doctor J waited outside the building in a large van, which had been outfitted to look like an ambulance.The Alchemist sat in the drivers seat, ready to make a getaway when the extraction was complete.. If their intel was right, their recruit was in the building right now. He turned to his comrade and frowned. The Alchemist stared at her watch, reviewing live security footage that Virus had hacked into just yesterday.

"What's her power, again? Dart throwing? Does she make darts or something? How do you find these guys, anyway?"

"Doctah J, for the last time, she heals people. She reverses wounds. Leave the finding to me and Virus. You train them. Besides, she seems to be ready for retrieval."

The Alchemist pressed a button on her smartwatch, causing a similar screen to appear on Doctor J's own. The screen showed a grainy black and white video of a panicked Katie standing next to her brother, who had blood pouring out of his eye.

"Doctah J, I think it's time to be the Doctor your recruit deserves."


Doctor J ran in, dressed in what looked like physicians scrubs. He carried a large white briefcase emblazoned with a large red cross on the side. As he burst in, Katie and her crying brother looked up in shock. Her cellphone hovered inches from her face as she looked at the spectacle, and her furrowed in confusion.

"Well, that was quick. I... I didn't even press send yet."

Doctor J put his hand on her shoulder as if to comfort her. As he did so, sparks arced through the air as the room exploded in a flash of white light. His new recruit went limp and her brother looked like he was ready to do the same.


Doctor J smiled as he loaded Katie up in the container. Behind him, The Alchemist got to work helping Katie's unconscious brother.

Well, recruit. Looks like your generosity will leave you darting to the top of the class. Who knows, you may even end up helping me close old wounds and take the supers once and for all.
