Name: Brian Macintyre

Codename: Storm shaper

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Country of Origin: Britain

Power Source: Genetic

Primary Power: His power is that of storm making. He can control lightning, thunder, wind, and rain to create powerful storms as well as drive them away. Early in his life he used this ability to create rain for farmers but in time he started using it to make ideal weather conditions for himself and the exact opposite for his enemy. Not to mention the occasional blast of lightning or thunder to incapacitate an opponent.

Secondary Skills: Skilled as a pilot, paratrooper, and sailor. Activities which he excelled at due to his powers. Specifically he can control wind currents to accurately control direction and speed of gliders, parachutes, sailboats, etc.

Weaknesses: Outside of his powers he is completely normal. Anything that would prove fatal or incapacitating to a human works on him as well. As such he needs to be careful in combat. His power is also affected by local weather conditions, making rain in the desert takes far more concentration than in the rainforests.

Appearance: He is 6 foot with athletic build, brown hair, and green eyes. Has a handlebar mustache and mutton chops. On missions he wears a simple RAF pilot's flight outfit complete with leather jacket and cap.

Example of outfit:


Cap:
Though this is modified with proper insignia for the RAF.

Biography: He grew up in the countryside of England and discovered his power around the age of fifteen. Since then he toured the countryside making rain for the farmers and villages who asked for a small fee. He did his best to downplay his gift, requesting that no mention be made of him in papers. Relegating him to something of a local legend under what would later be his codename.

At 18 he joined the RAF and flew as a fighter pilot during the Battle of Britain. This was when Her majesty's government found out about his power. He had been using it to aid in his air battles for some time then, Luftwaffe pilots often found themselves in small freak storms that would affect their ability to fly if not take a few of them down completely while his fellow RAF pilots were in clear skies. There were rumors among the other pilots that somebody had some kind of godly figure on their side whenever Brian's squadron flew. Those higher in the government suspected someone in the squad had such a power. Who it was with the power was confirmed when Brian was shot down over the middle of the channel yet somehow managed to land back at base near the coast. As he looks back on it, landing his parachute in plain view of everyone at the base probably wasn't his best idea.

If there are too many charecters you want to approve, may I suggest making a Home Team(for combating threats within), an Away Team, and an Infiltration team?
As a rule I'm going to always try to keep the players together, so I won't be splitting the team into home or away teams. I find splitting the players simply slows down how often people post.

I'm still considering villain applications, keep in mind it will take a while for Villains to be introduced, I don't intend for them to be constantly present rather they pop in and out for events and battles.

I wanted to ask you, would this be a 'The Watchmen' type of warfare where we go in the battlefield and dominate it or will it be a special ops 'destroy the missile silo before we launch the offensive' type of missions?
I'm just curios, because my charatcer is rather worthless when it comes to hilding a firearm. Or fighting against someone that can see her.

When you say villain applications do you mean people rping the villains or us suggesting villains? Because nothing sounds weirder to me at the moment then someone saying "Oh I'm rping as a Nazi super hero right now", funny yet weird.

I am actually interested in doing exactly that. I also wouldn't call them "super heroes". Many Nazi experiments were conducted and people were tortured when the nazi's head a wiff that someone could do something extraordinary.

It will be a bit of both, The Vanguards will be acting on independently of any military, but will still take part in some great battles, and smaller fights. So do expect a lot of open combat in this RP. There will also be objectives to assist as larger effort by sabotaging, capturing, and various other methods. Also encounter with other super-powered enemies will be fairly common. Your character should be able to handle herself on an open battlefield.

I want to have Villains who are played by people other than me to play villains in some scenarios, in order to make big battles more interesting.

Go ahead, keep in mind I will be very critical of Villain sheets I don't plan on giving those positions to many people.

Wednesday I'll say who I'm accepting, and I'll release more details about the story. Then there will be some time to organize collaborate with other players. So I think this RP will start on Friday.

Pressed post too soon. Watch this space: you may spot a sheet here soon...

Also, I'm considering submitting to be a villain. Should I post in-thread, or send a Pm?

Send Via Pm, keep in mind I'm looking for more than just good sheets for a villain, so also send links to some of your other RP's. Me and PrinceOfShapeir will be looking over the sheets today or tomorrow.

So PrinceofShapeir and I have decided to extend the deadline for sheets to be Friday. I'm sorry about this inconvenience to anyone who was hoping to hear back today, its just necessary to make sure we have enough characters for a good RP.

Name: Arthur Hicks

Codename: Art

Gender: Male

Age: 41

Country of Origin: Houston, Texas, USA

Power Source: Genetic

Primary Power: Due to a perfect combination of genes and birth defects, Art is able to produce, control and maintain a level of adrenaline that would be lethal to anyone else. This means that he can sustain injury that would incapacitate or kill anyone else and perform amazing physical feats (strength, speed, awareness, etc.)

Secondary Skills: For most of his life, he has been a boxer. His training makes him a formidable fighter and has considerable strength even without his power.

Weaknesses: While he can shrug most injuries in Adrenaline Mode, the moment he "switches off", he will be in as much pain as any regular Joe. While he is able to control his adrenaline, his body temperature will eventually reach a lethal level and he needs to either switch off or find a way to cool off. Speaking of switching off, he is unable to turn it on instantly. In the instances where he naturly forms adrenaline, he gets in a frenzy, unable to control his actions.

Appearance: Arthur is what you would expect a boxer would look like: he is 6'2", muscular, and has his hair cut short. His nose has been broken too many times to count and it shows. If you were to see him without a shirt, you would see three scars made from a switchblade of an easily irritable loan shark.

When moonlighting for the local crime organzations, he puts on a dark green combat suit stolen from some military research facility. Attached on the back and within the materal of the suit is a pump and tubes filled with refrigerated liquid to help keep his body tempature down.

Biography: After his family moved to Houston after the Galveston Hurricane of 1900, Arthur "Art" Hicks has never backed down from a fight. From his toddler days to his early teens, he had been part of and started fights nearly daily. After getting suspended for the third time from Jr. High, Art's father signed him up for boxing lessons for a way to release his stress. After noticing his ability to take a beating, Art's boxing coach eventually discovered that Art can control his adrenaline. He took this knowledge and trained him to control his newly found ability. For the next few years, he took to the boxing ring and had a very successful boxing career until in 1928 when he accidentally killed an opponent and in the following investagation, he was banned due to his abnormality. For the next 12 years, Art worked as an bouncer for a speakeasy (bar that sold illegal alcohol) fought in underground fights and was a thug for hire in Chicago. When war in Europe broke out, he got a letter about an Operation: Vanguard and he needed an excuse to leave town because of losing a fight he was meant to win.

Notes: Basic knowledge of the Thompson Machine Gun but feel most comfortable using his fists

EDIT: it is finished, judge it as it is.
EDIT: EDIT: Did a little clean up.
