What does it mean to be a hero? How about- what does it 'take' to be a hero? Sometimes you think of caped crusaders, or someone wearing a uniform. Other times, the guy on the street handing out money to the young homeless girl. You see, Heroes come in all shapes in sizes, backgrounds and colors.
This is a world where technological experimentation has lead to bio-abnormalities. There is talk about natural selection and evolution- or mutation. It doesn't matter how it happened, or how long this has been going on, or from what planet or universe these things and people come from. All that matters now- is how will everyone react? A majority of people don't believe this stuff, and brush it off as typical 'Enquirer' bullshit. Some people's live have been torn asunder by the changes, and others have capitalized on the things they were given.
Good or bad, there are people with extraordinary abilities out there. Are you one of them? Or are you just one who hunts them down, or cleans up after them?
With the rise in popularity of TV shows like Arrow, Daredevil, The Flash, and all that... I can't help myself, so I am shamelessly going to be drawing some inspirations from these greats.
Fantastic- but grounded by some reality- and grit. Some people have special abilities- others have special tech, and intuition and natural ability... They all have a sense of right and wrong, and each have their own ideas of serving to this.
This is what I'm looking to sculpt. This isn't going to be an origin story by any means, but it will be in an early part of each of these 'heroes'... 'career'.
They would be financially backed- but by whom I'm not sure yet. They would all work for the same group- and not necessarily always 'together', but for the sake of this RP: would start to work together. They all have their own reasons, and ways they got started. I'd say these people are fairly young, but not teens or kids. I'd say they would be in their first year of vigilante work. So they know what they're doing for the most part, but certainly aren't experts.
They wouldn't be taking out supervillains or anything yet- but would work their way up to it. Maybe a similar gang out their being formed but have a bigger lust for power. They might all know each other if they've been working with the group for a while, or they might be completely new to the team.
They aren't working for a government, it would be a private sector company that deals with security and or scientific research and development. I'd love any help or suggestions with plot direction, but I've got a kick-off point.
CS would be similar to this- So feel free to toy with it a little if you feel like:
Appearance: [Description required. image optional. If it's an image: photograph preferred, but due to the fantastic nature- i'm flexible :)]
Name:
Alias:
Age: [20+]
Race: [human, alien, mutant, whatever]
Personality tendencies: [I don't need the way your character reacts to everything, but a brief evaluation is nice]
Power/s: [Have fun but don't go super OP, please :)]
Skills: [ie: Marksmanship, hand to hand, one handed weapons, two handed weapon, explosives, hacking, engineering, just list em here]
Weapons: [if applicable. Killing is not totally frowned upon]
Weaknesses: [substantial ones.. Don't tell me they are shy or something.]
Goals:
Bio: [at the very least three paragraphs]
