I know what I want now.

The trigger involves Kyle being useless to prevent a crime against one of his few friends. It caused him huge amounts of emotional trauma as he realizes he could have stopped it. He could help everyone if he tried. And he'd do it no matter what the cost.

blahblahblah im totally bane now

Eh.
*Shrugs*
Kinda iffy on that. Rather cliche, you know?

[kj1225]

I... Actually don't. I don't really pay that much attention to super hero stuff.

[Beirus]

An RP based on Worm? Sound interesting. Mind if I sign up?


Name: Jake Campbell

Appearance: A muscular youth who looks to be around 17 years old. He is about six feet tall, with fair skin and short brown hair. He has blue eyes and a baritone voice. He tends to wear tight shirts that accent his musculature.

Demeanor and Personality: Jake is quite personable and friendly, although his biggest defining characteristic is his competitive streak. He is prone to making even small things like a walk to the store into a race or competition. He hates to lose, but will never stoop to cheating because he believes that it is a hollow victory if he cannot beat someone at their best. He expects much from himself as far as physical competitions go. Although he does possess the intellect to absorb and utilize most knowledge, he tends to slack off on his studies and prefers physical activities. His high expectations do not extend to people around him, and he understands that not everyone has the drive or ability to match his. His family is very important to him even though he feels a lot of pressure from them, and insulting or threatening them immediately earns his ire.

Backstory: Jake was born to an upper-class family in the nicer part of Edwardstown, and has one younger brother who his is very close to. From a young age, his parents pushed him to be the best, although they did the selfishly so they would be able to brag about him to their friends. They signed him up for Pee Wee football as soon as he was old enough, and during the school year they pushed him to excel at his academics. The pressure on his academics dropped once he entered high school, as his parents were more focused on his performance on the football team. He is currently the starting quarterback for the high school varsity football team.


 

[Yourmaster]

Name:Alex Raman

Appearance: He looks to be around sixteen to eighteen. He isn't muscular, but he isn't weak or pale. He has green eyes. He has a small scar next to his eye. He has short, blond hair.

Demeanor and Personality: He is very cynical. He has pent up anger and a temper. He isn't selfish, though he won't help random people without any gain. He isn't especially smart, though he is clever. He is extremely power hungry.

Backstory:His father running for Senate, and his mother being on the city council, even at a young age Alex became power hungry. He didn't make friends at school, though he didn't bother anybody. During his high school years, he became a mugger and joined up with a small time gang. Alex didn't tell his parents where he was collecting the money from, saying it was from working at a restaurant. He was very happy his father and mother were in politics, knowing that it would allow them to control the government in some ways.

[The Froggy Ninja]

Name: Kevin Schmidt

Appearance: Tall, wiry, dark brown curly hair, brown eyes.

Demeanor and Personality: Has a deep rooted hatetred for everyone which he generally ignores. Has ideas but is frustrated that most people don't understand them and that he doesn't have the knowledge or skill to do them himself.

Backstory: Home-schooled most of his life Kevin was within the annoying sweet spot of being smart enough to realize how messed up the world was and not smart enough to do anything about it. He then went on to standard schooling for highschool and early college.
Trigger Event: A feeling of smallness. Being too unimportant or literally powerless (depending on how directly involved he was) to prevent something.
Preferred Archetype(s): Tinker or Thinker. And if Thinker preferably something useful to make things. Like Sylar's power to understand how things work in Heroes.

[Rolepgeek]

...I have to wonder why he has a deep rooted hatred for apparently everyone. Was he just born a sociopath or what?

I mean, seriously, you don't have to be some sort of megalomaniac mastermind to be a villain.

Eh, whatever. *shrugs*

Name: Serra Navarro

Appearance: Dark hair that reaches to about her shoulders, brown eyes that tend to be fairly tired, a generally lean build, though she's not particularly muscular per se. Looks to be around sixteen to twenty; it's hard to tell.

Demeanour and Personality: Typically practical, very outspoken about civil rights, but also confrontational when she feels provoked. Firm believer in hard work. Existentialist.

Backstory: Raised in a Roman Catholic family in the suburbs, Serra has had to deal with racial prejudice and gendered discrimination her entire life. Her dad died in an accident at his work when she was eight, and so she, her mom, and her older sister had to take care of her two little brothers. Graduating high school with a 3.94 GPA, and several part-time jobs under her belt, she managed to get into the community college, and always makes sure she can still spend time with family, even if she's come to disagree with them in some ways. Now twenty-four, she has a part-time job at a bookstore and is studying to become an architectural engineer. She's never had all that much interest in capes, beyond the obligatory research on villains in the area to try and make sure she doesn't end up as a hostage for one.

Actually that's based on myself and I was planning on just being an angry hero.

[Rolepgeek]

Anger without reason(and it could be he has depression or something) tends to look like poor villainous justification.

Well I guess the main reason is that people suck. Plus as I said I don't plan to be a villain.

[Rolepgeek]

So...

How's everything coming along?

Posted merely because I came up with an idea for a cape and I think it would be interesting for inspiration if nothing else. Blood-based powers, or bodily fluid based; in which case it would relate to the four humors. In the case of just blood, they could easily be named Sanguine or Crimson or Scarlet or something. Humor based, not so sure.

Blood, Sanguinity, is associated with Fire and would probably be the main power because it's the most accessible the most easily in the largest quantities, as well as Fire typically being thought of as the Combat element. Whether he's just making his blood effectively explode, or causing it to create constructs from it as it multiplied or flowed freely, he would grow stronger the more of his blood was spilled, in this respect, and a side-effect would probably be the capacity to regenerate blood at an amazing rate. By which I mean he could cut his own throat as a last resort for more power and come away dizzy(if he survived the fight itself), but very much alive.

Saliva, Phlegma, is associated with Water and would the second most accessible power, though it would likely require much more preparation, and possibly grow weaker the later into a fight he was, being the counter of Fire and Sanguinity. Not too much of an idea for what powers he might have, though being able to flash freeze things he basically spat on would be interesting. Side effects would probably include a highly-active salivary gland and a much stronger spit reaction(you know how sometimes if you move your tongue weird a jet of spit comes out? That thing's on steroids).

Yellow and Black Bile would be more difficult to access, and more abstract in effect and influence, likely based on mood more; Choler is associated with aggression, anger, and Air, while Melancholer is associated with depression, sadness, and earth. Unless he vomited on someone (which isn't something I think is really a viable tactic, superpowered puke or not), he couldn't really directly affect them with these, but the amount of Choler present could increase his speed and reaction time, while Melancholer might make him more typically stronger and durable.

I came up with the blood guy first but thought the Humors thing might be interesting too.

[kj1225]

What about making other people puke?

Also, I had a better idea for my characters trigger that's fairly unique and (to be honest) brings him closer to one of my favorite characters in a video game right now.

Mind elaborating, ((Or pming, if you'd prefer))

[kj1225]

So, in case anyone here is wondering, I did PM the trigger and he said it was good. Just so you know.

[Yourmaster]

What should I do to put up my trigger event?
