Would like to join if possible.

We've already got a waitlist of two, but you can post a character sheet if you like.

[Enemy post]

Take the sabertooth with me and go search for the shadow.

Name: Chloe Morgan
Alias: Phaiz

Backstory: Chloe's life begins with tragedy. Her parents died when she was a youngling, and she was sent to the St. Anna-Maria Orphanarium by the state. Seemingly typical, yes? Well, when she arrived her quiet and seemingly stand-offish personality created a dynamic in which getting on with the other kids was difficult. Well, most of them, save for two. The orphanage was barely keeping itself afloat with donations, and rapidly accelerated towards the red after the recession. Eventually, Chloe decided to do something to save the only home she had. Of course, a teenager could only do so many jobs, and the jobs she could do (legally) paid peanuts. She began to think resigning herself to her fate was the best course of action, until . . .

Catalyst: A corporate entity known as Alphabeta Inc. This defense contractor -- uknown to the govrenment -- developed a high sophisticated yet unstable weapon: the Physical Adaptation Interceptor Zenith System, or Phaiz. They knew that the government wouldn't risk their tier-1 operators' lives by operating such a volatile system, if they even allowed the project to continue in the first place. Which they likely wouldn't. So, Alphabeta Inc. went underground, and found 4 willing participants to operate the system and gather data for R&D.

Doing what? Acting as the combat arms of the corporation. Charged with executing missions ranging from corporate espionage to assassination of rivals. In return, Chloe would get to pay for the orphanage to stay open.

The Phaiz System uses an advanced quantum algoryhtym. It will transform the user, changing some of their physiology but retaining their humanoid anatomy, into a combat form. Though she is granted general buffs to all her stats, Chloe's version of the system (Sigma) is built around close combat, which seems to imply that her physical stats would see the most significant increase. The Sigma's signature armanent is the lightsabre, using advance quantum physics to cut through even the toughest metals as if they were butter; and the photonsheild, a hard-light sheild which is digitally stored in the system's matrix. The Sigma's user may also switch between two modes: defense, which makes the system perform slower, but endure greater damage; and offense, which gifts a significant increase in attack power and damage and even speed, but takes away from the quantum integrity of the form, making it unable to sustain long term punishment.

Chloe is currently working on reverse-engineering the system in order to create more forms.

Name: What name does your character go by?
Alias: What name will the citizens one day cheer?
Backstory: Not the origin story, that’s something different. What life has your character led up to this point, and where are they in life now?
Catalyst: How did your character gain superpowers, and what are they? If the answer to the first question is “Intense training”, what made you go out and do your first act of heroism? If the answer to the first question is “Innate superiority of an alien species”, how did your character get to (and decide to stay on) Earth? This is what you’ll be starting out doing. Details may change depending on your actions, but the broad strokes will stay the same.

You have 18 points to assign to stats to put them between 1 and 5. At most one may be 1, and at most one may be 5.

Resilience:

Precision:

You have as many points for skill stats as your level of Knowledge.

As amusing as the rolls would be, I can't put that on the waitlist because it violates a part of the rules meant specifically to keep people from being too cartoonish, bouncing from terrible failure to grand success to terrible failure to grand success  again and again.

I thought the error used to be stats above 5 or stats below 1 apparently that wasn’t the error. Sorry

[Smoke Mirrors]

”Thank you.”

"Casing... trigger mechanism... fire-suppressant chemical blend..."

Peter does his best to assemble the grenade with what he has available, muttering to himself with each step.

It is noticeably not an ordinary bottle, as shown by the grenade-like pin and lever at the neck of the bottle, and the orange pictograms on one side describing its function.

(Can I get some explanation of the setting that I learned in-character, please?)

[FallacyofUrist]

"Well. I guess I'm a metahuman now. I have to wonder how I can use this gift to help the company. I'm sure the executives are already planning that, though. Anyways, feel free to take the fire-suppressor in for analysis and testing."

[Shadowclaw777]

Orion emails his anthropology professor in the university campus about a weird relic he... acquired from a stall huckster yet doesn’t originate from any known culture, so requesting an appointment to get to the bottom of what Orion acquired. After that he makes sure his entire month trip and it’s essay report are all finalized for the anthropology finals.
“Finally that hassle of a trip is done and my report is basically completed, but that weird relic that I found is still... glowing I wonder.. why though?”
