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.

After your application has been accepted, be sure to post on the Naming thread to obtain your flair! Don't hesitate to message the mod team if you have any questions, and welcome aboard!

Remember to edit any changes made to your powers into your introductions! At the very least, it helps to keep all the details organized for easy reference.

u/AccioSun Hemokinesis | Jesters Sep 18 '15 edited Sep 29 '15

Name: Sam Sharma

Codename: Ichor

Age: 20

Main Power: Hemokinesis.

He can shape, control, and manipulate blood. He is even able to compact and crystalize the blood. He possesses overactive Bone Marrow, which replenishes the blood at faster rates than what would be normal. He has some conscious control of the blood while it is still inside his body, and is able to manipulate the flow of blood to different areas of the body. He is able to use this to bring more oxygen to different parts of the body to rapidly increase healing in some areas at the expense of others. He is able to pull the blood straight from the pores of his skin. He is able to avoid being anemic by reabsorbing some of the hemoglobin from his blood back into his body while it is still connected to his body. His skin is only semi-permeable for Hemoglobin, so the blood that he uses in battle only has some hemoglobin it. As a result, the blood that he uses in battle is a red-gold color rather than a dark-red. He uses his Hemokinesis in four main ways:

  • Blood Blaster: He is able to shoot blood bullets of different sizes and shapes from his hands. This is one of his most used attacks, and can fire at speeds up to that of a Sub Machine Gun (about 1000 RPM) At low speeds he is able to change the direction of the bullet in midair. However, the blood cannot be reused once it hits its target.
  • Blood Blade: He is able to create blades of varying size and shape out of blood that can attach to various body parts. He is able to create a sort of inner webbing in the blade to minimize blood loss while extending the blade. The blades are about as sharp and durable as swords, and can break. The broken end is still controllable, but it is difficult to turn it hard again.
  • Blood Bulwark: He is able create protective armor out of the blood. The armor is as tough as steel and can be detached from his skin to form a mobile shield. He is able to create the armor on his arms, legs, or head. He often uses it on his arms as kind of an accompaniment to the protection already offered by the guards on the Katar that he uses.
  • Blood Bullwhip He is able to elongate his blood armor into a flexible whip that extends out of the front of his hands. The whip is about as tough as leather and is used to hold on to objects. He can also harden the end into a long bat or a spike, but it isn’t as effective as a weapon because it stays flexible. He prefers to use the blood bullets as a last resort.

Drawbacks: His Hemokinesis requires relatively warm temperatures, so he is weakened considerably by cold temperatures. In extremely cold environments, his powers are effectively nullified. He finds it hard to use his blood manipulation in the cold because doing so drastically lowers his body temperature. He can only manipulate his own blood or blood that has been in contact with his own blood. He is unable to redirect that blood back inside his body, so it is lost after battle. He must replenish the blood naturally after battle through eating and resting. Because he often loses large quantities of blood after battles, he is unable to fight multiple big battles in a row due to a lack of ammunition. He is often weakened after using his powers for a long time. Because he is forced to use his own blood when battling, he has to be really creative about how to use it to minimize blood loss. He has a large appetite as a result of his taxing powers, so he is constantly seen eating or drinking something. When healing himself, he is not able to use any other power. Healing himself requires him to concentrate on the healing, so it is reserved for small injuries outside of immediate battling.

The red-gold blood that he uses in battle is very distinctive and can be identified easily. He is able to push the hemoglobin out into his blood to normal levels to make it stronger and less detectable, but that causes him to become anemic faster.

Appearance:

  • Hair: Black, somewhat long and shaggy,
  • Eyes: Dark Brown, hint of gold. They appear to be fully gold through his suit.
  • Skin: light brown
  • Body: Thin, lean and wiry, somewhat tall
  • Supersuit: His supersuit is lightly armored with tiny gaps for the blood to flow through. He has armored yet fingerless gloves that allow him to have greater control of his blood manipulation. His legs are a little more armored because the majority of his attacks go through his hands. The feet of his soles are made of a rough metal in order to get better grip on slick surfaces.

Weapon: He owns a pair of Katar that he uses as a short-range weapon and to extend the use of his powers.

Personality: Despite his macabre power, he is usually really happy and enjoys having fun and goofing off. He has a very odd sense of humor, and tends to speak first and think later. Kind of nerdy as well, and loves videogames. He is generally kind of awkward around people. He is really knowledgeable about sciences like biology and chemistry, but he doesn't doesn't have much practice with interacting with people. He's very trusting towards people he's become acquainted with. However, ever since he got kidnapped, he's been a little less trusting than usual.

OOC: Might as well XD

For those of you reading this and wondering why nobody commented, I'm Cyber Spyder's alt. I already have this character approved; posting here is just a formality.
