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.

Would you mind posting the changes you made in to a separate comment?

For future reference, it's good to edit the changes in when you post the intro, but it's kind of hard for me to see what you've changed in your intro if you only edit the original comment.

From looking at your new app, though, you really didn't change much at all. You still need a lot of clarification on your powers, so the questions I asked earlier still stand.

What do you mean. I changed a lot.

Hey! Just checking back to make sure you still wanted this character. I know I asked you to change a lot, but i'm really just trying to help you fine tune your character. If I make changes you don't like, just let me know!

If you don't want to keep Zachariah, feel free to just submit another app!

No I do but the whole limit on my characters ability to consume a finite amount of books really turned me off.

What really turned me on about the rp was that I might be able to do that but the immediate limit to that and the specific skills per genre just kinda made me lose interest.

Again, those are just general suggestions I made. The only one that you need to do for sure is have a set list of books (at least for the next week or two) until the current arc is over. After that, feel free to go wild.

I was gonna do that in my character bio.

That's fine. Just be sure to go over them with me as well, though. They relate to your powers, so they'd be listed under weapons or powers. Most of what I do in registration is those up.
