OPEN SIGNUPS Collateral ( A Super Hero RP with Consequences) OOCAfter the destruction of multiple cities within multiple different regions of the world( Noteable examples include New York, London, Beijing,Cairo, Rio De Janeiro and Sydney along with a research lab on the frozen continent), the world has had enough. One thing was true. There was too MUCH property damage from these heroes fights and after much discussion, a new law was put into place. Called by the masses as Collateral, it was a law that required all beings with powers, regardless of their wealth, power or status to be held accountable for any damages, may they be property, physical or emotional.

That was twenty years ago. It's 2018 now and still very much a law of all lands. For this RP, you may play as a character with powers ( may they originate from supernatural, science or otherwise) or a villain and a civilian ( This being has no powers, they are essentially human). ( You must have at least one hero/ villain and one civilian as these beings will be important). Though focusing on the superhero aspect, if your character finishes with any damages to any person, place or object, well, it will be settled with court.

After all, there's always Collateral to pay.

Listed below is the two types of character sheets. One for your hero and one for your civilian.

JohnR

Civilian Name: John Reidenbach
Nicknames: JR, LabSpook0117 (GRC username)
Hero Name: Spectre
Personality:
Naturally quiet and mild-mannered, John is an innovative, hardworking sort, ambitious and persistent when he has an idea in mind. Possessing a strong hatred for interruptions of his work, he can easily turn impatient and terse when such interruptions occur. Sometimes his natural creativity can be a bit distracting, causing him to do things like stop paying attention to a conversation in the middle of a sentence, but he means no offense by this. Valiant and noble, he is not afraid to put his own life on the line for the sake of another, which also leads him to deflect attention from his own injuries if he sees other more important concerns, but despite his gentlemanly inclinations, he tends to be a bit socially inept and tactless. While his little quirks and odd mannerisms might make him seem a bit weird at first and his critical tendencies sometimes accidentally drive away potential allies, he nonetheless makes for a loyal and valuable friend once a connection is made. He also displays leadership qualities, although he acts on them infrequently.

Age: 28 yrs
Gender: male
Sexuality: heterosexual
Appearance:
At a lean 5'8", John, a young American of Irish and Greek descent, may not appear quite to par with his fellow heroes, but he isn't so much skinny as compact, with a powerful, swimmer-type build from years of vigilantism. Lightly tanned, he keeps his thick dark hair short with the part centered over his left eye. Under narrow, black eyebrows, his hazel eyes gleam with a keen, observant light that is readily noticable to anyone who encounters him and with a literal, green-hued light that is only and faintly evident in the dark. Narrow lips hide canines that are more prominent than most, matching with the subtle taper to his ears. After the portal incident that gave him his powers, he bears an extensive scar on his back similar to the kind left by a lightning strike: a thin, branching fractal that reaches down his arms to his wrists from a point in between his shoulder blades that edges up into the nape of his neck.

He tends to dress in collared button-downs with a preference for cool-toned pastels, though he has been seen in solid or simply patterned t-shirts in more casual settings, often with a full-sleeve brown leather jacket to conceal his distinctive scar and usually with jeans and sneakers or sometimes slacks and dress-shoes as the situation requires. He is rarely seen without a watch.
Hero Appearance:
As Spectre, his hair turns snow-white with eyes glowing the same brilliant shade of green as the ectoplasm that has become a part of him. The higher concentration of ectoplasmic energy in this form also augments his fangs and the taper of his ears. His uniform is as simple and practical as he is, combining a black sleeveless turtleneck with white cargo-pants, black steel-toed combat boots, and a chrome-buckled black utility belt, along with street fighter-style bindings on his hands.

Collateral gathered before start of RP: 6 charges of property damage and 2 charges of assault (accidental) totalling tens of thousands
Occupation: IT technician, scientist in free time
Date of Birth: January 17
Place of Birth: Newton, MA
Current Home: Newton, MA
Education: graduated MIT
Biography:
Born on January 17, John has lived in Newton, Massachusetts, his entire life. A remarkably intelligent child from birth, his genius only increased as he matured, an affinity for science and technology soon becoming evident when he built a fully-functional remote-control miniature helicopter from scratch when he was twelve years old. Possessing a photographic memory only assisted by his discovery and subsequent mastery of the method of loci, also known as the mind-palace technique, he was one of the top students in his school, acing tests in a matter of minutes despite often looking like he was sleeping in class due to his habit of closing his eyes as he listened to what was being taught to better picture it in his mind.

In high-school, he found about a conspiracy advocating the existence of a dimension hiding beneath Earth's own and filled with creatures that most theorists distinguished as "ghosts." Due to this distinguishment, the dimension itself had been labeled the "Ghost Realm," resulting in the forum where the theory was discussed being named the "Ghost Realm Conspiracy," shortened to GRC. John himself did not believe in ghosts in the traditional sense, but there was too much evidence toward the existence of this hidden dimension for a curious soul like himself. He continued researching the speculated dimension over the following years. At one point, he even met in person with one of the most vehement theorists, who pressed a vial of a glowing green substance into his hand, insisting that he had taken it straight from the dimension itself and that John, being a genius scientist, should do something with it. Unfortunately, that was the same year that he graduated from high-school and enrolled in college, which stole any free time he might have to study his new acquisition. Graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology years later, he took up work as a software engineer while also performing his own freelance work in the lab he put together in his basement. Only then did he finally have time to study the substance that he had obtained years ago. The more he learned about it, the more fascinated he became. It was not long before he decided that, somehow, he was going to explore and study this "Ghost Realm" for himself.

This decision made, he drew up plans and constructed a fully functional portal to the realm in his lab with the assistance of the GRC and research of naturally forming portals that they and he discovered. During a routine power-up, however, a ghost that he had captured after it escaped through the portal in a previous power-up broke free from its confines and shoved him into the midst of the sequence, resulting in eleven kilovolts of ectoplasm-infused electricity running directly through his body. When he regained consciousness several hours later lying on the basement floor, he immediately called an ambulance for himself, fearing the worst from the incident. In the few days that he was hospitalized, he learned that instead of the fatal result that he had expected, the incident had altered his physiology to resemble the supernatural creatures that he had been studying. That fact was perhaps the only reason that he was still alive.

Post-release, John immediately set to figuring out what exactly he was now capable of with some assistance from superpowered acquaintances that he made while out and about. Unfortunately, the few supers that he met were killed in battle shortly after, forcing him to search for other mentors. In the end, he found that the ghosts themselves proved the best teachers as he observed the creatures in their natural habitat, finding in the meantime that his ectoplasmic mutation made him immune to the normally toxic atmosphere of the Ghost Realm.

Over years of practice both at home and on the streets, using newfound abilities to act on his heroic streak, John, adopting the alias "Spectre" for his ghostly form, grew into quite the formidable foe. Unfortunately, while he did his best to avoid collateral, some situations were simply impossible to control.

Extras

  • generally has a good reputation, but his ghostliness might put some people on edge
  • always makes sure to take responsibility for all damages that he causes
  • his decreased body temperature makes him constantly feel chilled to the touch, moreso as Spectre
  • Spectre speaks in lime green where John speaks in cornflower blue

Name: INDIGO (Inter Dimension Ghost Portal)
  • Appearance:
    A mostly circular gate built of annealed steel plates with orange lights at regular points on its perimeter. When active, its center is filled with a bright green vortex, which is the actual gate into the dimension to which it is linked.
    Function:
    INDIGO is the first and currently only manmade portal existing into the dimension known as the Ghost Realm, named such due to its denizens' similarities to the undead, mythical creatures of the same name.
  • Equations:
    • 1N + (2pt raw ectoplasm/1' diameter) = 6 months (the duration that the portal is able to run consistently before the filter needs replacement)
    • The portal relies on a constant, high-voltage electrical flow to function; the transformer built into the power supply helps convert electricity from John's home into the voltage it needs without increasing his power bill too much.
    Materials:
    • LTS (Low Temperature Superconductor) wire
    • 2 pints of raw ectoplasm for every foot in the portal's diameter
    • steel plating (annealed)
    • bolts
    • adjustable power supply (rack-mount; switching-type; high-voltage; circuit breaker)
    • liquid nitrogen
    • pipes (for nitrogen and ectoplasm)
    • lever
    • portable water filters (adapted)
[imgr=200px | no-lightbox]https://www.iwakuroleplay.com/attachments/ghost-realm-jpg.157286/[/imgr]
Access: naturally forming portals (which are highly unstable and the strongest last for mere minutes) or manmade portals
Description: The Ghost Realm, so named for its inhabitants' similarities to ghosts, is a massive abyss of a dimension whose outer limits have yet to be discovered and whose only land mass exists in the rocky islands of various sizes floating in its atmosphere. Its 'sky' takes the appearance of olive-green and black flowing swirls intertwining in an unceasing pattern.

The primary aspect of the Ghost Realm is a substance named 'ectoplasm', from which every construct and creature in the Ghost Realm is made. As naturally forming streams of this substance flow through the atmosphere, colliding molecules stick together within the stream, forming ever-increasing chunks of solid ectoplasm which eventually collect into a new island of the green-charcoal igneous-like rock native to the dimension. So long as an island is near a stream, it has the capacity to increase in size.
[imgr=200px | no-lightbox]https://www.iwakuroleplay.com/attachments/ectoplasm-vial-jpg.157284/[/imgr]
Taking the form of a syrupy liquid under normal conditions, ectoplasm is a glowing lime-green fluid which when still contains looping swirls of a slightly darker green. In contrast to practically every substance that exists on planet Earth, heat saps energy from the molecules, causing the substance to turn into a slushy mud then into a rubbery solid if heated enough, while cold adds energy, eventually causing it to become a thick vapor. A great deal of temperature manipulation is required to cause the aforementioned consistency changes due to its preference for a liquid form, similar to water's behavior. Additionally, it possesses natural cooling properties, which increase exponentially when exposed to a cold source. It is highly poisonous to humans; inhaling or otherwise consuming it can cause the symptoms of radiation poisoning, and prolonged exposure can kill. It has a sour, coppery taste.

  • The Ghost Realm's only local species are the ghostlike creatures from which its name stems. Semi-physical and semi-sentient, the vast majority of the creatures have a humanoid head and torso with pointed hairlike wisps sprouting from their heads and a tapering tail forming the body below the waist. Their hands end in a trio of clawed fingers and an equally clawed thumb, all of which they use to defend themselves from hostile beings. The entirity of their eyes glows a vibrant purple or rarely red and their mouths are lined with sharklike teeth—they have no facial orifice that could be labeled a nose. They also have no internal organs, being sustained purely by the ectoplasm in the Ghost Realm's atmosphere.

    Ghosts communicate mostly in snarls, growls, and hisses, being a primitive and aggressive species, but rarely may giggle or chitter, usually during acts of malice.
    They seem to be capable of ignoring gravitational pull, as they can fly effortlessly no matter the strength of the gravitational field around them.

  • Abilities:
    • ectokinesis
    • invisibility
    • intangibility
    • flight (via self-gravity negation)
    • bodily contortion
    • cryokinesis (rare—only present in very powerful 'ghosts')
    Weaknesses:
    • ectoplasmic energies, as well as other energy blasts of a similar construction
    • excessive heat (they react to it in the same way that ectoplasm does although it requires even greater heat)
    • ectoranium (another, green-black rock native to the Ghost Realm—it has electrocution properties on contact and their powers have no effect on it)
    • Blood Blossoms (a purple-leaved red roselike flower common on Earth—causes intense pain to ectoplasmic beings if consumed or if the beings pass through the barrier created by its scent wafting through the air; often used in ancient times to repel the beings)
[imgr=200px | no-lightbox]https://www.iwakuroleplay.com/attachments/1521765788407-png.157288/[/imgr]
Established decades before John ever learned of it, the GRC is an international community of people from all walks of life who are united in their dedication to the reveal and study of the realm long suspected to exist. It has its own forum-based website and app, which members counting in nearly a million use to discuss their discoveries, research, resources, and theories. After John's ectoplasmic mutation, which he revealed to the community shortly after it occurred, a handful of GRC members, especially those living in his general area, gave the forum a secondary function of assisting him in his hero work.

Valerie

Civilian Name: Valerie Newmann
Nicknames: Val
Personality:
Bold, systematic, and strong-willed with a mind like a whip, Valerie is impossible to sway once she has set herself on a goal. She has trained and exercised her debating skills since a young age and constantly pursues logic in all of its forms, making her a formidable opponent in any war of words. Highly ambitious and self-motivated, she has disciplined herself to never lose her cool despite how furious or frustrated she might be as well as holding herself to high standards of productivity and spending. With a love of travel and the arts, she draws people to herself through her imaginative solutions to issues. She is attracted to high risk scenarios such as those posed by local superhumans due to the thrill of the danger, which is partially what led her to build her career specifically around Collateral cases.

Age: 26 yrs
Gender: female
Sexuality: heterosexual
Appearance:
At a slim five foot six, Valerie, a young blend of Caucasian and African American, is easily overlooked in a crowd, but the intensity of her personality makes up for where she lacks in stature. She keeps her kinky black hair pulled back in a ponytail to keep it away from her dark, gleaming eyes and high cheekbones. On a casual day, she often wears an olive green military-style jacket over a white V-neck tee with navy skinny jeans and leather biker boots, occasionally including a set of dog tags her father had given her. At work, she changes to a navy blazer with a white blouse, a matching knee-length skirt, and polished black pumps.
Voiceclaim: Sumalee Montano (Arcee, Transformers: Prime)

  • trained in a variety of skills by military father
  • licensed gun-owner
  • proficient gymnast
  • first-aid

Family: Keith Newmann (father), Trinity Newmann (mother)
Friends: John Reidenbach/Spectre (legal representative and occasional medic), Martin Fisher (through John), Victoria Murphy (@Gands), Samuel Alerio (childhood friend), Felicity Alerio (through Samuel)

Collateral cases involved before start of RP: all of Spectre's cases, has also been hired by other heroes
Occupation: lawyer, specializes in collateral cases
Date of Birth: May 12
Place of Birth: Valley Stream, NY
Current Home: Brooklyn, NY
Education: graduated Brooklyn Law School
Biography:
Born on May 12 in Valley Stream, New York, Valerie grew up an only child but with friends all throughout her neighborhood. Her father, an active member of the military, was frequently absent due to deployment, but he spent as much time with her and her mother as he could. His extensive training, much of which he passed on to her, encouraged her own strict self-discipline, which helped her excel in her studies and other pursuits. When she was fifteen years old, one of her childhood friends, Samuel, who had recently been developing powers of his own, was almost killed in a fight that he had not even been looking for but was still taken to court for damages that he had not meant to cause, which both opened her eyes to the severe imbalance in legal representation and sparked her specific interest in Collateral law.

After graduating high-school, she moved west to enroll at Brooklyn Law School, putting particular focus into the fields involved in Collateral cases. After completing college, she remained in the area as a lawyer in a firm specializing in the same field in which she had taken such a substantial interest, becoming one of the few to side with the supers in court rather than the civilians. It was in this line of work that she first met John when he sought her assistance in one of his earlier cases in a similar scenario of accidental damages that he would have to struggle to pay off. As she worked with him through that case, the two started forming a friendship that strengthened as she continued with him in future cases.

Reed

Civilian Name: Reed Overton
Villain name: Agent Fury
Personality:
Sardonic, arrogant, and insulting frequently bordering on cruel, Reed puts his superhuman abilities to thievery and wanton destruction as much for the thrill of the conflict as any materialistic intent, although the material gains he is able to secure are certainly a bonus. Ambitious and opportunistic, he lives by the motto "There's no point in getting something if you didn't earn it." Accordingly, he never attacks those who cannot defend themselves and despises those who do, seeing such actions as boring and cowardly. As a result, most of the time he almost counts as an upright, law-abiding citizen. Despite his focus on brawn, he is a man of razor-sharp wit as well, able to talk himself into the most advantageous position when physical means of doing so are unavailable. Thriving on the deadly energy of combat situations, he could not care less the affiliation of his clientele so long as he gets to wreak havoc and fight people and gets paid for doing such. Due to his lifelong focus on aggression, he has difficulty expressing softer emotions or letting himself be vulnerable, even when he wants to. Ultimately, he is incredibly intense to the point of being overwhelming or just plain scary, going for all or nothing in every endeavor.

Age: 27 yrs
Gender: male
Sexuality: homosexual
Appearance:
Standing at a menacing 6'3" with a build to rival some wrestlers, Reed prefers to style himself along the lines of the "bad boy" stereotype, dressing in tees that proudly flaunt his precisely toned musculature usually paired with his favorite dark leather jacket with the sleeves cuffed at the elbows, often accompanied by jeans and combat boots and always by a pair of silver cuff rings on the helix of his left ear. His clothing usually mostly hides the sharp-edged black tribal tattoo curling around his right shoulder down his bicep and sprawling equally across his right pec and shoulder-blade, along with the heavy, burnished chain encircling his left bicep, but a small, inverted rainbow triangle with a black equal sign in the center remains clearly but subtly visible at all times, partially hidden behind his left ear. His chest, back, and arms are also riddled with scars of various kinds due to a lack of focus on evasion. His strong jaw is framed in a closely trimmed beard the same shade of jet black as his hair and thick black eyebrows settle like angry storm-clouds over eyes that gleam a piercing slate blue.
Villain Appearance:
As Agent Fury, Reed dresses in a charcoal sleeveless suit-jacket over an equally sleeveless white muscle tee, paired with matching dress pants and steel-toed combat boots, along with deep purple-hued colored contacts to disguise his actual eye-color. However, the most distinct and iconic piece of his costume is the facepaint that he uses to disguise his features: he paints his entire face white except for markings, in a brilliant shade of purple to match his eyes, around his eyes in large eyebrows that curve along the sides of his nose and an almost beard-like shape around his mouth tapering at either end into exaggerated inward curls at the outer corners of his eyes that parallel the curls around the inner corners. Additionally, he wears polished black demon horns to further contribute to the menacing silhouette. He also carries a simple pair of brass knuckles but rarely anything more in the realm of weaponry.
Voiceclaim: Adam Baldwin (Breakdown, Transformers: Prime)

Powers: Enhanced Condition
Abilities/skills:
  • masterful debater
  • athletic prowess honed by intensive practice
  • high pain threshold and tolerance
Weaknesses:
  • beyond the healing factor and strength, he is merely human and thus is vulnerable to all the same things
  • drastically more sensitive to hunger or exhaustion than a regular human
  • enhanced durability applies solely to musculature (e.g. protecting him from pulling a muscle but not from injury by an external source)
  • regeneration applies only to physical injury
  • requires time to heal, which can require anything from 5 minutes to several hours depending on the extent of injury
  • immensely unpopular and must constantly watch his back
  • overconfident
    • tends to disregard opponents' abilities
    • dismissive of own injuries

Family: Dallas Overton (father), Rina Overton (mother), Braden Overton (older brother), Skylar Overton (older brother), Micah Overton (younger sister)
Allies: Icarus Valaith (@slifer, shares work contract, also romantic interest)

Collateral gathered before start of RP: dozens of charges of larceny and property damage along with a handful of battery including a couple aggravated cases (only compensated the bare few times that he got caught and could not talk his way out of it) totalling hundreds of thousands
Occupation: mercenary for hire (he is the guy other supers and civilians go to if they need a messy job done and don't want the backlash)
Date of Birth: May 31
Place of Birth: Brooklyn, NY
Current Home: Brooklyn, NY
Education: graduated high-school with law focus
Biography:
Born in a particularly seedy section of Brooklyn, Reed's superhuman strength became evident from a young age, growing with him in an obvious way. At a young age he was adopted by a gang, which gave him both an escape from a violent household and plentiful opportunities to exercise his formidable strength if not in an entirely legal fashion. Rather than dropping out of school as most of the others had, he stuck with it all the way through high-school, focusing on fields of study such as law with a distinctly "know thine enemy" intent.

Leaving his childhood home as soon as he was old enough, he simultaneously split off from the gang that in some ways had raised him better than his own parents to make a name for himself as the soon-to-be-named Agent Fury, a superhumanly strong mercenary and thief with a love for conflict who would fight for anyone if the price was right, and if the price included violence, it was rarely wrong. Over the next several years, his name grew in notoriety among supers of all affiliations and some civilians with the right connections.

Martin

Civilian Name: Martin Fisher, MD
Nicknames: OperativeRX (GRC username)
Personality:
Compassionate and straightforward with an impressive intellect, Martin shows a knack for forming opinions about others through careful observation.

Fortunately, he prefers to resolve issues as quickly as possible, refusing to hold onto a grudge any longer than he absolutely must. He loves using his knowledge to assist others in any way that he can, especially when doing so assists in clearing out illogical beliefs or behaviors, which he has trouble comprehending given his own preference for sensibility.

Occupation: nurse practitioner at Lower Manhattan Hospital
Date of Birth: July 16
Place of Birth: Montague, NJ
Current Home: Manhattan, NY
Education: graduated New York University
Biography:
Born on July 16 in Montague, New Jersey, Martin grew up spending more time outdoors than he did indoors, from fishing with his father on the creek near their home to hiking and camping with the whole family. Being homeschooled practically from birth assisted in this lifestyle along with enabling his devoutly Catholic parents to raise him in their beliefs. A voracious reader, he would often take a book or several to a tree by the creek where he would remain for hours on end. First learning of the Ghost Realm Conspiracy at fifteen years old, he initially passed it off as yet another superstition until he glimpsed a natural portal closing while riding his bike in his neighborhood, and again a week later. After that, he stuck around in the community, intrigued by all of it but unsure exactly what he could do.

After graduating from high-school, he moved across the border to study nursing at New York University, a subject that had always fascinated and appealed to him. Campus life exposed him to a variety of worldviews that up to that point he had only ever read about, so he was always happy to discuss philosophical differences with the friends that he made over the years that he was enrolled.

After college graduation, he remained in New York, moving to a Manhattan apartment and applying as a nurse at Lower Manhattan Hospital where he kept a career to the present. It was at this hospital that he first met John in person, who at that time had been growing as Spectre for just over a year. The ectoplasmic mutant had barely survived a fight with another super, earning himself injuries that landed him in the very hospital where Martin was employed. Through a combination of the skill that he had built up by that time and his connections with the realm from which the mutant's powers originated, Martin ended up as one of his nurses. When the two discovered that they were both connected to the GRC, John was delighted to discuss the topic that had lately become one of his greatest passions.

As the conversation turned to John's own powers, Martin realized that he could use his skills for heroes who avoided hospitalization due to the dangers of revealing their identities. With this idea in mind, he negotiated a lighter work schedule that would allow him to be home and thus available in the hours when superpowered conflicts were most frequent.

Awesome, thanks! So, is the IC thread up or do we not have enough people yet?

The IC is not currently up right now. Ideally, I wanted four, but seeing as we got a good chunk of characters, I might start it up tomorrow or Saturday though.
 
Civilian Name: Michael Chambers
Nickname: Mike, Mikey, Mic,
Hero name:
Age: 18/34
Appearance: Mike has brown spiked hair and green eyes. He stands at 5'10 and typically wears a blue t-shirt, jeans, a jacket and the occasional pair of sneakers. He is not very well-built and has a scar over his left wrist from a dog and wears a watch. He is white in this form.
sean-opry_2696717a.jpg
When Michael's shifts to his older form, he stands at 6'3 with his hair pushed to the side and a full brown beard. He also wears the same clothes as his younger form and wears gloves to help control his powers. He is also well built and his items are more weathered on him and he has a shoulder bag.
Collateral gathered before start of RP: As Mike, he has done 0 damage.
Occupation: High school Student
Personality: As Michael, Mike is soft-spoken and shy and rarely acts out or talks. He prefers to keep to himself and not interact with others outside of his family. He also tends to avoid conflict and often will deflect questions well. He also tends to mumble things and often is anti-social.
Weakness(ONE FOR EACH ABILITY/POWER): As Mike, he is incredibly weak to fire and has all of the normal human weakness. If he uses too much of his power, he can exhaust himself and knock himself up. His age progression/ regression is draining and has a negative impact. The longer he uses, the more it physically hurts him.
Species : Meta-human
Powers: Age progression/ Age Regression/Shapeshifting- Michael can age his own cells to be twice the normal age he currently is. Through this process, he gains the physical capabilities of the older person and if in the form for long enough, the mental ability to be one. He also can choose how he appears with this power though he doesn't know this yet. He also can do this on other objects, animals, plants and people, but there's a learning curve that takes a while.
Ice Manipulation- Mike can control ice and rarely uses, terrified of his own power.
Abilities/ skills: ( As Mike) Highly intelligent, Skilled hacker, cooking.
History: Unlike most meta-humans, Mike's powers 'activated' at the early age of nine and he has been able to shift and wield the elements since then. However, he has no control and often would shift unwillingly, living a life of one of the other, barely keeping it a secret. Over the course of many years, the two mastered the shifting and worked in tandem to stay in control. However, after one of the forms murdered Lily Chambers, Michael was separated by Colton Blake and was able to help them. Recently, he had learned about his new power.
Family: Lily Chambers ( Sister- Murdered, April 2nd,2018) Dean Chambers ( Brother) Ian Chambers ( Father) Jenny Chambers ( Mother) Garrett Chambers (Gunn) (Brother), Allen Chambers, (Brother) Victoria Murphy (Half-sister)
Extra: Mike is bi-curious. He was previously fused with Warren Tanner and Logan Campbell

Firefly

Civilian Name: Amiee Marie Reed
Nickname: Ames
Hero name: Firefly
Age: 26
Appearance: Height: 5'5", Weight: 120 lbs
Civilian Appearance:

AmieeMarieReed.jpg
Hero/ Villain Appearance:
fireflycostume.jpg

Collateral gathered before start of RP: $70,000 in fire and water damage at City National Bank, covered by insurance, though the fire was never linked to her directly
Occupation : Waitress at Sizzler (she's aware of the irony)
Personality: Happy, straightforward, honest. Extremely careful when it comes to her powers - she knows what she can do.
Weakness(ONE FOR EACH ABILITY/POWER): Flame Powers: Lack of Oxygen/burnable atmosphere. Being submersed in water will also stop her transformation for awhile until she can heat up enough to boil away the water (time depends on volume of water). Also, the heat of her flames is inversely proportional to her size. Shrinking - the inconvenient size, along with reduced strength (though she's strong for her size, she can only lift a few pounds at her smallest size) Flight - depends on her heat manipulation and air currents.
Species : Homo Superior (Mutant)
Abilities/ skills: When her powers emerged she became close to peak level human physically, with a slightly increased rate of healing. She's a decent cook, and she's studying thermodynamics to learn the physics behind her powers.
Her powers:

  • Fire/heat manipulation, from about 400 degrees at full human size to 2700 degrees at her smallest size.
  • Power Stunts: Through her knowledge of thermodynamics, she's been able to precisely target heat and funnel her own heat in ways to keep the environment around her from combusting or melting. She also effectively has infrared vision, sensing the relative heat of things for hundreds of yards around her. She's been able to cause backdrafts to knock down barriers with waves of heat and has caused thunderclaps through swift air displacement. She's constantly experimenting with her heat manipulation powers to find new and unusual ways to utilize them.
  • Flight: based on her heat manipulation, though she manifests 'wings' of flame but those perform like sails and help her direct her flight. She can hover, and at her fastest speed she's created sonic booms but is unsure of her absolute top speed because she'd be required to be at her smallest size to get the most thrust and won't do so unless she's in a rural environment where she's not going to hit and burn through anything.
  • Shrinking: She can reduce her size and mass to about 6" tall. The smaller she gets the hotter she gets. For some reason, the pitch and timbre of her voice is largely unaffected at smaller sizes but her strength drastically decreases, requiring Firefly to use heat differential and wind to pick up anything of any significant mass at smaller sizes.
  • Superhuman Agility/Speed: Because of the speed of her flight, her physical agility and reaction time are many times more than humanly possible
History: Amiee was traveling with her parents on the way back from a vacation. There was a car crash, and her parents and brother were trapped in the car, along with her, under a RV that had rolled over on top of their station wagon. She heard her family dying by burning and their injuries, and wondered why she wasn't burning... also wishing she could just curl up and shrink into nothing... then she did. Suddenly she was on the ground, at a tiny size, still unburned. Amiee lived with her Grandma June for awhile after that, until she moved out on her own when she got a job. She's had a few adventures as Firefly, and the only person who knows her secret is her best friend, Cyndee Climbon.
Family: Parents Marie Reed, Francis Reed (Deceased) Brother Michele Reed (Deceased), Grandmother June Roubideaux



Cyndee


Civilian Name: Cyndee Climbon
Nickname: Cyn-Cyn
Age: 25
Appearance: Height: 5'8" Weight: 130
cyndee.jpg

Collateral cases involved before start of RP: Nothing.
Occupation : Uber/Lyft Driver, Student
Personality: Promiscuous, outgoing, carefree, but holds a serious grudge.
Abilities/ skills: Insanely good driver, almost inhuman alcohol tolerance, amazing sense of direction and timing.
Powers: Unbeknownst to her, Cyndee has a power. Serendipity: When things look the worst for Cyndee, something fortunate always seems to happen to get her out of trouble. She doesn't trigger this consciously, it just "happens." A rope will break, a truck full of pillows drives by, a random bird flies in the face of a possible foe, etc.
Weakness: Karma is a Bitch. Ironically, after her Serendipity has saved her from the current disaster, it sets up the next one. She's a magnet for being in the middle of the crossfire/being kidnapped/at the scene of a crime, etc...

History: Lifelong friend of Amiee, whom she's palled around with since they were in grade school.
Family: Her birth mother gave her up for adoption as an infant. She grew up in an orphanage from then to age 7, where she was adopted by the Climbon family, good family friends of the Reeds. The Climbons have recently moved to Germany for her father's work but Cyndee opted to stay behind with her friend Amiee (Given that she knows her secret).
Extra: She's apparently totally amazing in bed, and goes from straight to bi once suitably inebriated.

So this isn't IC yet?
 
@slifer No IC yet. Hope to boot it sometime during my next week off.
 
@Gands @Michale CS @superwolfgirl @Astroblaze I am hoping to get the IC up either before I head to bed tonight, but if I don't, I plan to get it out latest by Wednesday. Sorry about the delay.

@slifer If you get a chance to post characters if you want too before the IC gets too far, you can post. If not, I'll make you a separate starter if you need me too.

It's a bird.... it's a plane... it's the IC thread making this a triple post.

OPEN SIGNUPS - Collateral ( A Super Hero RP with Consequences) IC

@Michale CS @Gands @Astroblaze @superwolfgirl

Also, since I'm not making a fourth post.....

NPC Civilian!

Civilian
name: Angelo Ryan Rose
Nickname: Angel, Ryan
Age: 29
Appearance:
488999e5054fdcfcaf3df57e4c36191f.jpg

He typically is seen to be wearing any color muscle shirt ( his preference is white or black though) and a pair of jeans along with a silver watch that is digital. He stands at the very tall six feet seven inches and wears sneakers. He is also always carrying a notepad with a pencil over one ear and a pen over the other, always ready for a story.
Collateral Cases involved in before the start of this rp: 2 cases.
Occupation: Journalist for his own personal newspaper
Personality: Angelo is that type of guy that you hope you never have to work with or date. He is very ambitious and will stop at nothing to get a story and he doesn't care who he has to destroy, hurt or bargain with to get a story. He is always investigating and looking into people's pasts ( which makes him a nightmare to date since he wants to uncover to all of your secret.) He can also be very condescending and believes he is a gift to anyone he encounters. However under all of that horrible journalism ethic, is a genuinely decent and semi-sensitive guy who wants to live a normal life.
Abilities/ skills: He is quite skilled with a camera and of weaving tales. He also knows how to shot a gun and use a bow and arrow. He has extreme luck with avoiding death for some reason.
History: Angelo was born to his only mother on a cold December night and by all normal circumstances, he should have died due to exposure after his mother died giving birth to him. However, he didn't and his grandfather Devon Rose took him in and named him Angelo after the fact that he survived. He was raised by his grandfather until he was seven when once again he survived a fatal car accident that killed his grandfather. He was then put into the system where he grew up. However, his luck changed when at eighteen, he found that his mother and grandfather left him large sums of money that he used to open his own newspaper company.
Family: They are all dead
Extra: He has an innate interest in the supernatural.

That's good to know. As of right now, we don't have a discord and discuss here, but if the mass populous would prefer a discord, I would be cool with making one. Up to you guys.
