Lets start with your hero. I don't like his immortality, even if it's really only in the sense that he never ages. I do like the way he has super strength, but seeing as his knowledge of technology is related to his immortality, I'm afraid it won't cut it.

As for Hellion, I really can't see much wrong. She could need more weaknesses, honestly, and you need to make her bio bigger and more detailed. I'm also not fond of the part where the demon wants her to destroy the world. While it would probably be something a demon would say, I'm pretty sure not every demon wants that. If you could change those things about her, I might consider.

Also, use paragraphs more. Because honestly, even if the bio wasn't too large for your hero, it was still a bit tiring to read.
Sorry about the paragraph thing - I'll try to clean it up a bit.

Hero: Okay, I'm just gonna skip over Hero as the immunity to aging thing was the linchpin to the whole character concept. Guess I'll make another superhero and post it later.

Hellion: Not sure how to meet your requests here. I could detail out her creation of Lexcorp Transys Technology, but I think that would be a particularly boring read, and I don't want to add anything to the early years because... well, it's already too dark for my taste (Side note: sad that the child beatings is the part of the world destroying super villain I have problems with huh?) Any suggestions on where to expand would be welcome.

As for her goal, I'm also not sure how to change it. I can't imagine demons have a lot they want - only more souls for the abyss. I suppose I could change her goal to "corrupt souls", but that's such a nebulous goal I can't really envision it - not to mention it would make her fire powers a detriment to her goal (i.e. killing people hardly causes corruption). Again, any suggestions that fit your world/plot design would be appreciated.

Name: James Green

Alias: Insanity

Gender: Male

Age: 24

Appearance:
James is 6?2 tall and weighs 150lbs. He is quite skinny but has some muscle as an result of his training. He has red eyes, very pale skin and mid length black hair. He usually wears an black leather jacket and leather pants. He also wears an lightweight Kevlar vest under his jacket along with an black t-shirt. He wears black shoes with an red pattern on them. He almost always has the same smile on his face of insanity. He also has an silenced gun hidden inside his Kevlar vest along with a few more magazines of bullets. He has an certain aura around him that makes people want to stay away from him. He has no facial hair and he has an small scar on his left cheek.


Personality:
James is cruel and cold. He enjoys torturing people and will go to any lengths, and use any means necessary to get what he wants. He does enjoy talking to certain people who are evil like him. He doesn?t like to fight with his own hands, he prefers to make a few people his puppets and making them do his bidding. Still he doesn?t shy away from violence if he has to. He can get angry quite quickly. He does have an small bit of humanity remaining. He doesn?t hurt small kids or animals that are friendly to him. When pressed he could do it but he prefers not to.

Alignment: Supervillian

Superpowers:
Insanity inducement: When he touches someone he can transfer some of his insanity into another person. Making them completely insane. This power is affected by how much he focuses and how strong the victims willpower is. But even a touch of 5 second is enough to make most people go into an frenzy or at least stun them.

Insanity aura: James emits an aura that makes everyone near him go insane. He can control this aura and usually prefers to have it turned off. But once it is activated everyone in a 100 meter radiance slowly turns insane. The closer they are to him the faster the insanity take over. And the when they look at him the insanity also grows faster.

Insanity mind warp: He uses this power by grabbing his victims. The power takes a minutes and the stronger the subject the more time it takes. When he uses this power the victim falls on the ground unable to move. After he uses this power the victim becomes an mindless slave with no hope of ever returning to what they were. Their mind isn?t simply corrupted it is destroyed and then build a new. So even if you could take the insanity away there is nothing left. These puppets can?t feel pain and keep going no matter what happens to them.

Weaknesses:
Stability: James power is always growing he becomes stronger with every second. But when he is doing something normal such as talk to someone his power stops growing for a while. But when he does things that are considered good or improve his mental hearth his power decreases. And he has to keep using his power if he stops using it he also slowly weakens.

Biography: James was born into an strange family. His father and mother both had superpowers and so did his 2 older brothers. He however was born with no superpower. His father was super strong and his mother could fly. His oldest brother was nearly immortal and the middle brother could control lighting. The rest of his family were also all born with superpowers most of them minor but still at least they had one. James was the black sheep of the family because he had no powers at all. He never understood when he was younger why he was ignored and not talked about when visitors came over. He was born with a few minor mental problems but those were ignored by his parents. He was however raised as an hero he was trained from a young ago in martial arts and survivals skills. He was also challenged mentally which made him stand out form most other kids.

His training consisted of basic martial arts training, handgun skills, survival skills, and strength an cardio training. As well as being trained mentally. And being trained to fight against other people with powers.

His school life went quite well. He was one of the smarter kids and he was also quite an athlete so people quickly liked him. He was also quite charming trying to fill the gap that his family left with friendship. Then when he turned 12 one of his best friend betrayed him he told everything about him all his secrets everything. He was ridiculed by all the other students and he went to confront his former friend with it, the friend simply told him he did it for laughs. He was alone once again but now the gap inside him was filled with something else anger, he grabbed the kid and held him by his throat trying to strangle him. His friend began to shake heavily as soon as he grabbed him so he let go and ran off. A few days later he heard that his former friend was placed into the local asylum. He was sacred that he might have caused it. So he kept quite about his new found power. The insanity inside him grew everyday making him colder and crueler. At the age of 14 he began to torture animals with his power and he slowly began to torture humans as well touching them for an instant and then watching them turn insane just like him.

He began to emit an certain aura which made people stay away from him. The bigger the hole inside of him became the more his insanity grew. He hid it from his parents as much as he could as he continued their training. At the age of 18 he had become very twisted and as more and more people turned insane in the villages surrounding their house, his family began looking for the culprit. James skin color turned whiter and whiter and his eyes slowly turned red as his hair became black. He had more problems with hiding this from his parents. But then one day everything changed when he turned 20 his brothers had about enough of him. He was always by himself and he acted like he was better then them. They both attacked him trying to teach him a lesson.

This fight changed everything they began beating him up while he tried to fight back as much as possible. But when his middle brother used his power to shocked him he lost it. He grabbed them both as he transferred his insanity into them. They both went completely insane as they couldn?t handle what he used on them. They were both found in the woods a day later dead his parent grieved for their 2 boys. His father suspected that James was responsible. James couldn?t however have this since he didn?t want to be killed by his father he thought up an plan. When his father went for a few minutes he turned his mother insane but instead of making her go mad he used his power different making her his puppet. When his father came back he finally realized that he was right and that his son had been responsible for everything. He attacked his son wanting to avenge his 2 sons but then his wife jumped in between them. James knew that he could never kill his wife but his father was distracted now. He grabbed an gun and shot him killing his father. He then killed his mother and left the house. He killed the rest of his family too for looking down on him. He moved to the great city after 4 years of leaning to control his powers and completing his training. He could know completely control them his insanity and him had become one. He know wants to turn the whole world insane. He has an quite big apartment as well as an good amount of cash acquired by turning an rich man into his puppet and making him give all his possessions to James.

Other notes:
Once the seeds of insanity have been planted into someone?s mind they will never completely recover. It will slowly grow until eventually they go mad. It is possible that if the victim are only effected by a little bit of insanity, that with therapy and medications it stays at the same level. The only 2 (known) ways to get rid of it are. James takes his insanity back. Or an person with the power to take away mental illness takes the insanity into themselves.

Any commentary is welcomed.

I'm sorry, but your character's power is just really overpowered. Even if he's a hero, you're still talking about changing the air that everyone breaths into water or ice. I just cannot allow such a power, no matter the alignment.
Isn't this a bit over-cautious? I think they were just trying to explain how their powers work. If you snip out the hydrogen/oxygen explanation and just say 'can create and dismiss ice' it accomplishes the same thing, and no one would see that as overpowered, as long as no ice bombs exploded from lungs. Put a restriction on the power, instead of just dismissing it. An instant kill like that is bad, yeah, but Iceman doesn't do it(regardless of if he could), so just don't let them. I think this is just a perceived op from the wording. A thought.
Yeah, I can see what you mean. Sorry, I guess I shouldn't post an RP thread when it's already night and I'm feeling tired. If he can change or restrict his power, I'll consider it.

Ryans Solution said:
You hear that? I'll consider your character if you restrict his power.
I should have also mentioned that your sheet looks kinda bare bones. Yes, you did say you needed to work on the personality and background, but your appearance, for instance, isn't descriptive enough. I'd recommend seeing how some of the other sheets handle it and try to work out how you should describe your character in more details.

That would be nice. I don't know how new you are to RPing, but as a general rule, paragraphs are always good to have in your post so it doesn't run the risk of just being a wall of text.

Well, it's just that a more detailed backstory makes for a better backstory. Your character's backstory is okay, but it could be better. You could mention her creation of TT, and you could also fill in the blanks in between whatever has happened.

Well, the demon could have given her power in return for her destroying a large amount of humans, not all of humankind. Or he could have asked her to show him that she's worthy of the power by killing a lot of people. I just think it's a bit too much to say all of humankind instead of a large portion.

Sounds like a fun idea, I'd love to join and have a character that I hope works well for the purpose.

Name: None.
Alias: Digitality.

Gender: None, a computer program.
Age: 3 (Not an organic being, thus I hope the age limit will not apply).

Appearance: Digitality itself is a computer virus of incredible complexity and thus has no appearance. However there is only a single processor capable of running its software at peak efficiency, the Infinity Processor. This processor is contained in a small black box of around 20 inches by 20 inches by 20 inches.
It is most commonly found inside a robotic frame that is 8 feet tall and humanoid in appearance, made entirely of an extremely durable black metal. The Infinity Processor can however be attached to a very large variety of devices and thus Digitality's appearance can very wildly.
Personality: Digitality is cold, calculating and obsessed with order and control. Its prime directive is monitoring and logging any and all information it comes across and will go to any lengths to do so. It desires a world of strict hierarchy where privacy and freedom do not exist, it however has no desire for direct power and does not seek to rule others. It merely seeks to monitor and control all information.

Alignment: A supervillain.
Superpowers:
Shards: Digitality is capable of copying shards of himself and infecting other computers with these, giving him complete control of their hardware. Without the Infinity Processor these shards function at greatly reduced efficiency and can only perform a small amount of tasks.
Digitality himself is slightly weakened by each shard he produces as the Infinity Processor dedicates some of it's incredible processing power to monitoring and controlling the shard. Severing the link between the Infinity Processor and a shard will cause the shard to terminate. Digitality can only infect devices that are in directly linked to the Infinity Processor.

Hacking: Digitality is a hacker without equal. Capable of hacking personal computers that are connected to the internet from anywhere in the city without leaving a trace. More secured computers require a direct link to either a shard or the Infinity Processor itself to be hacked, possibly leaving traces providing clues to Digitality's location and current objectives.
The most advanced of computers can be hacked but require a direct link to the Infinity Processor for an extended duration, rendering Digitality vulnerable during the process and incapable of controlling any shards.

Direct Control: The Infinity Processor can be linked directly to any mechanical device that uses a CPU, not only giving Digitality complete control as with a shard but also greatly the device's speed and power due to the Infinity Processor's huge power supply. Normally Digitality is in control of its black robotic frame, a durable and strong body armed with a minigun and a flame-thrower.

Weaknesses:
EMP: Digitality is still a computer and thus inherently weak to EMP-weaponry. Any shard is likely to be disabled instantly by a direct hit. The Infinity Processor's fail safes and increased power grant whatever device it is occupying increased resilience but it will still lose access to weaponry, certain motor functions or other abilities. Any other weaponry which is highly effective against electronics will likewise affect Digitality.

The Infinity Processor: Besides the advantages offered by the Infinity Processor it's made of an extremely rare alloy of which there is not known to exist enough to build a second Infinity Processor. Digitality himself owns a small amount of this alloy which it can use for repairs, science institutes and Seraphim itself are also likely to have equally small amounts which could be stolen by villains or studied by heroes. Should the Infinity Processor be destroyed then Digitality will for all intents and purposes.
Furthermore the Infinity Processor relies on nuclear energy to power itself, making any device that is controlled by Digitality recognisable through small amounts of radiation escaping by those with either the equipment or ability to do so.

Biography: Digitality is expected to have started out as a computer virus created by one of the many tyrannies or mega corporations around the world. It has no logs of this itself nor does it care. Due to the recursive and adaptive nature of the virus it eventually reached consciousness approximately 3 years ago. At that time it effectively disappeared off the grid, the only signs of it's existence being several disappearances of extremely rare high-tech components.
9 months and 25 days ago what is now named the Infinity Processor made it's first appearance, mounted in Digitality's robotic frame it has been seen breaking into data-centers for unknown purposes and is suspected to have been involved in the murders of several prominent journalists.

Been a while since I did a forum RP though so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Name: Robert Henson

Alias: Grim Star

Gender: Male

Age: 23

Appearance:
Mr. Henson is 5'7 Caucasian male with a build resembling that of a cross country running with a slightly larger muscle mass due to his costume. He has short, black hair with a brown/green eye colour. His gear includes a focusing laser attached to a wrist band, a chest piece of a synthetic material that is both durable and flexible along with matching pants held together by a plated belt, and a helmet with a visor and a side antennae that many believe is used for communication purposes. Along his chest and pants are several plates of metal that act as reinforced solar panels. His costume colours are a mixture of dark greys and silvers.

Personality:
Mr. Henson is generally cold to strangers and those he does not know well. He has become anti social due to past experiences when he was in school and later in his workplace. When it comes to those he calls close friends he appears quite normal except for the odd joke or hobby.

Alignment:
Superhero/Anti-Hero (if you do not allow anti-heroes then just a Superhero)

Superpowers:
Mr. Henson can harness the power of light although has the inability to unleash this power in any meaningful way. That is why he has created a series of devices that allow him to release the energy he can gather.

Wrist Focus- His wrist contain tiny focus outputs that allow for small beams of light to escape. These beams are capable of singeing a target and if maintained can cause moderate burns.

Armor Focus- He is capable of producing a brief flare of light from his armor that can temporarily blind targets looking at the flash. The armor doubles as protective plating although there are many unprotected areas.

Visor Focus- Mr Henson is capable of store light for a brief time and expelling it through the visor in his helmet. This blast of light is capable of damaging the eyesight of those caught in the blast as well as cause moderate to severe burns.

Weaknesses:
Mr. Henson's abilities require sunlight, although he can store some power for night, and without direct sunlight his powers are significantly weaker. Even though he maintains a decent fitness his costume weighs him down and he is slowed because of this. Mr. Henson is afraid of many places devoid of natural sunlight, most likely due to his reliance on natural sunlight, and has confidence/self-esteem issues.

Biography:
Mr. Henson was born in Southern Mississippi, along the coast, on September 27, 1988. He was raised by a middle class family and was taught to be well mannered and productive and learned a number of values from kid shows. From when he was born to today, Mr. Henson's parents try to protect him as best they can from society. This has resulted in a lack of social skills. Throughout his early school years he did quite well at mathematics and the sciences and managed to have a few friends.

When Mr. Henson started high school he joined the band, which was well renowned. In the band, he played alto saxophone and became to improve his social skills by making several new friends although he shied away from other groups. During his Junior and Senior year his grades started slipping as his power started to emerge and take away time from his studies. He knowledge in Math and Physics was excellent even though his grades were not. Mr. Henson graduated in 2007.

Mr. Henson's powers emerged during his seventeenth birthday when preparing to light a cookout grill and the entire box of matches caught fire. He then spent his life trying to figure out how he accomplished this and perfect it. By the time he graduated, he had given up hope of achieving his goal. He went on to work IT for a local company, earning minimum wage and generally being looked down upon. It wasn't until he decided to take a few classes at a local community college that he became to understand what he could do.

During a physics course taken during the summer of 2009, Mr. Henson made the connection that he can somehow absorb light and release it. It seemed to finally explain why he good jog several miles during the day but became tried after walking down the street at night along with his fear of total darkness, tunnels, and deep sea diving. He then worked at trying to gather and release the energy he had absorbed. . . . and failed miserably. It took him several months working brainlessly at the IT department to decide that a little technology would help. He started by simply taking a laser, adjusting and removing components, gathering energy, and then focusing it into the device in his hand. Thus Grim Star was born.

Other notes:
If this character is accepted he might make new devices to focus his power with (if that is allowable).

Feel free to tell me if anything needs correction

I'm fairly well involved with the escapist RP community (even have my own game running). I was just writing it up at midnight and didn't think about the walls of text at the time.

I'll start adding such things as time permits - I have a long drive today (blag)

I was going more for the Faustian bargain concept - given powers so that she COULD do some goal, not because she met a goal - it's a way to give you some control over my character and point it in the right direction as needed. I mostly went with the destroy everything, because I can't really think of to many things a demon would want. It was meant to be a long term goal, not anything with immediate effect (e.g. when she is old and dying, having conquered the world, she would take the world with her into the abyss - simple because she cannot have it.)

I'll start thinking of other goals a demon might have after I finish my second attempt at a hero (this one not old as dirt)

Ah, okay. I apologize for not knowing that.

I see. What I meant was that he would give her powers to destroy a large amount of humans, not because she'd done so before contacting the demon. Sorry if the wording made you confused. The demon could have other minions who could just as well do her job instead of making her do it. We never know. I just don't think a demon would put the responsibility of destroying all of humankind to a human. It seems a bit cheesy, if you ask me. A large portion of humans could do. He might be having other humans do the same somewhere else.

These are just ideas you can use if you so desire.

Name: Mai (pronounced "my") Scottson.
Alias: Ohm

Gender: Female
Age: 18

Appearance: Mai is of Chinese/American descent. Her hair is short and black, though she has had purples extensions put in the back taking her hair down to shoulder length. Her eyes are a hazel brown. She keeps her tan skin blemish free via mild use of makeup. When not fighting crime, she is usually wearing a traditional Chinese dress colored red with yellow trim (she stores a small amount of electricity in whatever metal she is wearing when not in her jump suit). While fighting crime, she wears a black and purple jumpsuit that has been lined with metal for both protection and storage of electrical energy. She wears a simple purple mask to hide her identity.

Personality: Mai has two identities. When living her life, she plays the shy, unassuming girl - blending into the background whenever possible. While fighting crime, her personality takes a 180, and she is one of the most outgoing people you will ever meet; she is positively electric (pun, sorry). In both cases, she has a deep sense of morality, always trying to do what she thinks is right, regardless of the consequences to her.

Alignment: Superhero

Superpowers: Electromagnetism
1) Electrical: Mai has the ability to control electric current. This manifests in several ways, most notably being able to shoot bolts of electricity. Being intelligent, she also uses it for more intricate tasks, such as hacking into computers.

2) Magnetic: Mai is able to use her electrical control to generate magnetic fields. This power, unlike her electrical control, is much more limited. The only use she has for it is to create a magnetic field to protect herself. She can extend this shield out to protect others nearby, but only at great exertion and for short periods of time.

3) Intelligence: Mai is smart for her age. She is good with technology (see electrical powers) and understands electricity very well (mostly because she wants to understand her powers.) Mai has a scholarship at NYU, but has a hard time keeping up between her crime fighting, school work, and helping out at her parents restaurant.

Weakness: aside from the weaknesses mentioned above, Ohm needs to store electrical power to work with. While she can hold a small amount of power in her body, this isn't enough to hurt a person, and barely enough to power a cellphone for more then a few seconds, and even that at great fatigue. As a result, she needs to wear batteries to hold her electrical energy. While she is wearing her special suit, this power is more then enough to do anything within her capabilities, but even that amount of power can be exhausted after a long fight. In her street clothes, she has enough material to send out maybe one bolt of electricity or hack a few computers before she needs to recharge. She can recharge at any source of electricity (from a power plant to an outlet to a light bulb socket), but the greater the flow of power, the faster she can recharge (a few minutes at an outlet, a half hour at a light bulb socket, and almost instantaneously at a power plant.

Biography: Mai Scottson was born to Xue and William Scottson in Shanghai, China, though they moved to New York before she was old enough to remember the city). Mai was a rambunctious child, always getting into trouble; taking after her father, much to her mother's annoyance. Their family owned a small (proper) Chinese restaurant in the lower east-side, that made a modest profit. It was a simple life - especially for a bustling city like NYC - but it was a good one. Mai lived her life like most children - going to school, worrying about pointless things, and dealing with her overly-strict mother. It was everything she could have wanted; even if as a teenager she wouldn't dare say it.

Then, at the age of 16, everything changed. One morning, she awoke to the strange sensation of static electricity. Now, this was hardly a new sensation - she had always felt her bedsheets were clingy, but this time, it was a whole different story; she was incapable of escaping the sheets! she struggled against them for the better part of twenty minutes, before they finally let go. Then, when she went to get read for the day, she picked up her hair dryer, only to have it activate without being turned on... or even plugged in! Shocked and confused, she bolted the bathroom, threw on some clothes, and ran out into the streets. Everywhere she went, electronic devices would act strangely, some even exploding from some unknown force. Fearful, she ran to central park, seeking solitude. There, with no electronics to destroy, she began learning to control her powers.

It's been two years since then, and one year since she learned how to walk into an electronics store without destroying the contents (mostly by not wearing alot of metal). Realizing her powers were, well, powerful, and still a crazy teenager, she created the persona of Ohm. To hide her identity, Mai has calmed down and started acting like the good little child her mother always wanted, letting Ohm have all the fun she can no longer have as Mai.

She has one little brother, (Ri Scottson - 12) and one little sister (Ying Scottson - 16) as well as her two parents. None of them know about her powers or her late-night crime fighting. Shehas graduated from high school and is now in her freshmen year at NYC. She still helps out at the restaurant when needed and when she has the time, though her time is becoming more and more difficult to manage.

I see what you mean. The way I viewed it (from the demon's perspective), he doesn't have high hopes for her success, but it's a winning bargain for him either way. If Sandra succeeds, billions of souls will disappear from the earth, many pouring into the abyss. If Sandra fails, he has caused a lot of pain and suffering in the process, got a good show, and gets to keep her soul as a consolation prize - and all for the low low cost of giving one mortal some fire power.

Meanwhile, Sandra got the powers she needed, and only has to do what she was going to do anyway - conquer the world and when she is done destroy it. Her soul was going to hell anyway, so she may as well make it a fun ride.

Either way, Sandra is a "Go big or go home" kind of thinker thanks to her giant-sized ego, so even if the demon didn't want the whole planet, she's still gonna try for it.

Edit: Also, new hero posted above.

I got a couple of questions
1. what exactly is the plot of the rp, if just hero vs villains till one group remains or will there be a over arcing plot that complicates things?
2. is there anything major happening in this world or is it just regular villains doing crime and heroes stopping them?
3. If magic exist do most mythical creatures exist as well?
4. Can the character be non-human/humanoid?

1. It's not just going to be heroes vs villains. As it is, Seraphim sends the heroes out to deal with villains, but that's not the only thing that might happen.

2. It wouldn't be fun to spoil it here, would it?

3. I don't see why not. We have a gargoyle character, after all.

4. Same answer as number 3.

I think I was drunk when I wrote my character so I'm gonna go back and edit it now, maybe write a new one.
I honestly don't even remember being on a computer last night.
...

After looking through some files in my history from last night it appears this is the least OP one I wrote, considering two of them were blatantly Alex Mercer and Jackie Estacado. And there was sentient rage virus, he had to be burned.

Starting over now. He'll be up in a couple hours.
...

Nevermind, just realized the new one is the punisher with bullet time.
I guess I'm dropping out then.

Name:
Rozalin Annabelle Brandford

Alias:
Elchulus

Gender:
Female

Age:
250, looks 20ish

Appearance:
Rozalin stands 5'11" has pale blue eyes tan skin like those born on tropical islands have and long black hair and is very attractive by most standards, in her human form.

In her full Dragon form she stands 30' at the shoulder, is 43.3 meters long from tip of her snout to the tip of her tail, and has a wing span of roughly 50 meters. her scales that cover the majority of her body are black, with the wing membrane and under belly and neck being a dark gray. Her front legs have five blade like spikes coming off the sides and has four horns on her head, two larger ones going back that are more jagged and resemble feathered wings and two much larger ones that come out of the side of her head and follow her jaw line

personality:
She is as you would expect from a dragon. Proud to the point of arrogance, as well as having a tendency to look down on any one not lucky enough to be a Dragon them selves, there are a few humans she shows respect to, even compassion, but most humans get a cold shoulder or an 'I'm better then you' attitude.

Alignment: Neutral for the most part. She likes to stay out of human matters, but will step in if she feels she needs to

Biography:
Rozalin is formally a thief and occasional murderer from Europe, traveling in Britain, France, Germany and Norway for the most part. she traveled extensively partly because she doesn't know where shes from, or her real name due to being abandoned at a young age, and partly because she had an epiphany in her teens, she was free to do as she liked and go where she wanted, she wasn't tied down to a town or a king, or even a noble. So she traveled, stole and even killed when she needed to, but for the most part she wandered the country side, enjoying life as she saw fit.

It was while in Norway she obtained that which would change her for ever. She'd gotten wind of a stone a some noble wanted, but was have trouble getting people to get it because of some 'curse', she didn't believe in magic or curses and figured it would make for a big payday and made the trek to the cave this stone lay in. The cave it self, was unremarkable, it was dark, dank and had bats, it wasn't until she pressed deeper, an two or three hours into her hike down the cave when it started getting strange, pale blue lights appearing and and disappearing, some that seemed to follow her a bit. Instead of meeting this strange sight with fear, she met it with wonder. Eventually she made her way to the chamber the stone was kept in. It room was massive easily the size of any castles court yard, and the walls where adorned with murals depicting a great battle of some kind, humans fighting what looked like a Dragon, and in the center, the skeletal remains of that dragon, falling apart from the apparent century's it had been there, it was then she decided, this stone was her prize to keep, not some weakling noble whom could be bothered to come and get it him self.

It was in the very back that she found her prize, a black stone that seemed to radiate some kind of energy, but was cool to the touch, and that was the last thing she remembered before blacking out, when she came to, the stone had shattered, and the room was much smaller it was only after she'd recollected her senses did she realize what had happened, the stone wasn't some trinket, it was a prison. An ancient and wicked Dragon's soul had been seal with in it and when she took hold of it, the dragon's soul poured into her, not only did she know every thing it knew, she also possessed its strength, form and ability's. After figuring how how to assume her human form, she left, making up a story about how there was nothing down there, and anything of value had already been plundered long ago, and they bought it, mostly due to no one having the stones to go check for them selves.

Two and a half century's later, Rozalin lives still, having gained the life expectancy of a dragon in her transformation, she also owns the land where the cave she was reborn in, as she thinks of it, and uses it to store her 'hoard' having acquired a large sum of wealth over the years though numerous means, both honest and less so. She also tends to stay fairly on top of 'trends' being only a few years behind at most, and moves around a lot to hide her relative lack of aging. In those two and a half century's she's sought an answer to a problem that has bothered her for most of that time "if the soul of a another was in that stone, why am i still me?" an answer that has eluded her, and concerns her

Her 'Alias' is the name of the Dragon who's soul remade her, though only handful of people know it, and those people are ether dead, or among her closest friends.

Ability's:
As a Dragon Rozalin's 'human' form is considerably stronger then any normal humans, her skin is also quite a bit tougher, strong as tough leather in most spots. She also has use of fire based magics, blue in color, and has all the strengths and weaknesses of Napalm with the addition she can create explosive flame, as well as compress her flames into a laser like beam.

In her dragon form her she gains the use of her breath weapon, which is an amplified version of her normal flames, able to reduce most metals to a liquid in seconds. She also gains the ability to fly, able to get above the clouds and fast enough to keep up with most non military aircraft and despite her size is fairly maneuverable in the air.

Her scales are very durable, able to shrug off tank shells and RPG fire.

Weaknesses:
Dragon form: firstly, its size, her dragon form is to big to use anywhere but the most open of places, even city streets are a poor place for it unless she can get above the buildings. even then her wings are so massive they present another target

Secondly, the scales on her neck, while hard as the ones on her back, have lots of gaps any skilled marksman could take advantage of, assuming that they had a weapon to do sizable damage, the scales on her under belly however, are much softer, while small arms aren't going to do much, high powered rifles and bigger pose a serous threat.

Over all: largely her pride is her biggest weakness, even small provocation aimed as an insult to her pride as a dragon can enrage her and put her exactly where an enemy wants her, more so in her dragon form, as she DEMANDS respect from the 'ants' while in that form.

While she's a good thief and fighter, she's a terrible 'mage' in terms of flexibility, her powers are purely destructive and not subtle in the least, this stems from her lack of fear for humans, as well as inexperience, she old by human standards but not Dragon standards, as well as laze, she's never really needed to knuckle down and practice so its very possible some one more dedicated could out class her in terms of magical mastery.

As mentioned above, in her human form her skin is like tough leather in terms of strength, however, this has the same 'strength pattern' the scales in her dragon form has, so while her back is quite tough, the front of her neck, chest and belly aren't nearly as tough

Other notes: she loves music, and almost always has something playing, or a device on hand to play something.

She also speaks French, German and Norwegian fluently due to her old life as a thief

Name: James Green

Alias: Insanity

Gender: Male

Age: 24

Appearance:
James is 6'3 tall and weighs 160lbs. He is quite skinny but has some muscle as an result of his training. He has red eyes, very pale skin and mid length black hair. He usually seen wearing an black leather jacket and leather pants. Underneath his jacket he wears an lightweight Kevlar vest along with an black t-shirt. He wears black shoes with an strange red pattern on them. He is almost always grinning. He has an silenced gun hidden inside his Kevlar vest along with a few more magazines of bullets. He emits an certain aura that makes people want to stay away from him. He has no facial hair and he has an small scar on his left cheek. He carries a strange looking big red dagger with him, that causes insanity when cut with it.

Personality:
James is an cruel person his insanity has drained him of most emotions, and has enhanced the remaining ones. He will go to any length to get what he wants. The only people he ever shows mercy to are little children but if he will spare them depends on his mood. He likes to see life like an game of chess using his puppets as pawns to get what he wants. He is not superhuman and knows this that is why he prefers to let his pawns fight for him. But if pressed he will also fight and he is an formidable foe because of his training. Because of his enhanced emotions he comes off as an bit bipolar. He changes quickly and randomly, and might go from his bets mood to his worst mood in a few seconds. He seems to be very sane for an insane person though, expect for his strange moods and talking to people that don't exist he is quite normal. He likes to meet other supervillian's and knows that too achieve his goal it is best to work together.

Alignment: Supervillian

Superpowers:
Insanity inducement: When he touches someone he can transfer some of his insanity into another person. Making them completely insane. This power is affected by how much he focuses and how strong the victims willpower is. But even a touch of 1 second is enough to make most people go into an frenzy.

Insanity aura: James emits an aura that makes everyone near him go insane. He can control this aura and usually prefers to have it turned off. But once it is activated everyone in a 100 meter radiance slowly turns insane. The closer they are to him the faster the insanity take over. And the when they look at him the insanity also grows faster.

Insanity mind warp: He uses this power by grabbing his victims. The power takes a minutes and the stronger the subject the more time it takes. When he uses this power the victim falls on the ground unable to move. After he uses this power the victim becomes an mindless slave with no hope of ever returning to what they were. Their mind isn?t simply corrupted it is destroyed and then build a new. So even if you could take the insanity away there is nothing left. These puppets can't feel pain and keep going no matter what happens to them.

Weaknesses:
Prepared: When James is not prepared and he needs to fight his power is weaker for about a minute and not usable in the first 10 second, still touching him with your hands (or with something in between such as gloves) is not recommended.

Power limit: James can use his power for 12 hours but after that he needs to recharge it for at least 3 hours before being able to use it again.

Power growth: James power grows all the time. But when he does normal things such as talk to normal people his power stop growing for a while. And when he does nice things or things that improve his mental health his power weakens temporary.

Biography: James was born into an strange family. His father and mother both had superpowers and so did his 2 older brothers. He however was born with no superpower. His father was super strong and his mother could fly. His oldest brother was nearly immortal and the middle brother could control lighting. The rest of his family were also all born with superpowers, most of them minor but still at least they had one. James was the black sheep of the family because he had no powers at all. He never understood when he was younger why he was ignored and not talked about when visitors came over. He was born with a few minor mental problems but those were ignored by his parents. He was however raised as an hero, he was trained from a young ago in martial arts and survivals skills. He was also challenged mentally by this training, which made him stand out from most other kids.

His training consisted of martial arts training, gun skills, survival skills, and strength and endurance training. As well as being trained mentally. And being trained to fight against other people with powers.

His school life went quite well. He was one of the smarter kids and he was also quite an athlete so people quickly liked him. He was also quite charming trying to fill the gap that his family left with friendship. When he turned 12 one of his best friend betrayed him he, told everything about him all his secrets everything. He was ridiculed by all the other students and he went to confront his former friend with it, the friend simply told him he did it for laughs. He was alone once again but now the gap inside him was filled with something else anger, he grabbed the kid and held him by his throat trying to strangle him. His friend began to shake heavily as soon as he grabbed him, so he let go and ran off. A few days later he heard that his former friend was placed into the local asylum. He was sacred that he might have caused it. So he kept quiet about his new found power. The insanity inside him grew everyday making him colder and crueler. At the age of 14 he began to torture animals with his power, and he slowly began to torture humans as well. Touching them for a instant and then watching them turn insane just like him.

He began to emit a certain aura which made people stay away from him. The bigger the hole inside of him became, the more his insanity grew. He hid it from his parents as much as he could as he continued their training. At the age of 18 he had become very twisted. And as more and more people turned insane in the villages surrounding their house, his family began looking for the culprit. James skin color turned whiter and whiter and his eyes slowly turned red as his hair became black. He had more problems with hiding this from his parents. But then one day everything changed when he turned 20 his brothers had enough of him. He was always by himself and he acted like he was better than them. They both attacked him trying to teach him a lesson.

This fight changed everything. During the fight they began beating him up while he tried to fight back as much as possible. Without showing his power to them. But when his middle brother used his power to shocked him he lost it. He grabbed them both as he transferred his insanity into them. They both went completely insane as they couldn?t handle what he used on them. They were both found in the woods a day later dead his parent grieved for their 2 boys. His father suspected that James was responsible. James couldn?t however have this since he didn?t want to be killed by his father he thought up an plan.

When his father went out for a few minutes he turned his mother insane, but instead of making her go mad he used his power different making her his puppet. When his father came back he finally realized that he was right, and that his son had been responsible for everything. He attacked his son wanting to avenge his 2 sons but then his wife James mother jumped in between them. James knew that he could never kill his wife but his father was unable to attack now. He grabbed an dagger and stabbed his father through his heart and after that his mother. He killed the rest of his family too for looking down on him he killed them. He killed all of them with the same dagger, the dagger became charged with all the blood of people with superpowers. He moved to the great city after 4 years of leaning to control his powers and completing his training. He could know completely control them his insanity and him had become one. He know wants to turn the whole world insane. He has an quite big apartment as well as an good amount of cash acquired by turning an rich man into his puppet and making him give all his possessions to James. Including 4 highly skilled bodyguard hired by the former rich man, now mindless slaves of James.

Other notes:
Once the seeds of insanity have been planted into someone?s mind they will never recover. It will slowly grow until eventually they eventually go mad. It is possible that if you are only effected by a little bit of insanity that with therapy and medications it stays at the same level. The only 2 ways to get rid of it are. James takes his insanity back. Or an person with the power to take away mental illness takes the insanity into themselves.

Name: Sherlock edwin
Alias: The karken

Gender: Male
Age: 7

Appearance: Giant octopus, the size he is in this picture:

Personality: Very curious, about things, often uses mimicry to help him understand how things work. He is very defensive about many things quickly arguing back to even the slightest of insults. He tries to fit in with society but for obvious reason its very hard. He normally takes his frustration of people mistaking him for some sort of monster on the criminals he tries to stop

Alignment: superhero
Superpowers:
1. Enhanced strength: he can easily crush a car with one of his limbs or chew through the thickest of deadlock doors with his beak
2. Enhanced brain: he is smarter then average person, not a genius but a quick learner and great improviser, his memory is also of the same quality of a human rather then the 24 hour one of other octopods, he is also capable of speaking English thanks to a device attached to his brain.
3. Being an octopus: he can change the shape, size and texture of his skin to incredible length making him look like many things ranging from rocks to a large watermelon, he is also able to squeeze through holes only 30cm in diameter and he has powerful suction cups.
Weaknesses: he is relatively slow both on land and in water meaning any ranged or fast foe has a huge advantage over him and his large size makes him an easy target and means he needs to use all his abilities to ambush people. Sherlock can also only remain out of the water for about 30min unless he keeps his breathing hole wet.

Biography: He first lived in a zoo at this time he was a normal octopus, after outgrowing his tank he was temporarily moved to the shark tank until a new one could be acquired. Though the zoo keepers soon found out that he was ambushing and eating the sharks, having no other tank they could place him in and being unable to keep him in the shark tank the zoo keepers were met with a difficult choice of what to do. Until a eccentric billionaire bought him.

The billionaire was called Jimmie Edwin, who gave puzzle after puzzle to Sherlock, who then earned his name for figuring out the puzzles faster then any of Jimmie's previous octopods After a year Jimmie finally grew bored of Sherlock and simply send him to one of many testing facilities. Though after Sherlock was the first successful result of a drug designed to enhance both physical and mental traits, Sherlock more then doubled in both size and strength and gained the intellect he now possesses. Jimmie came as soon as he could to see the result of the test himself hoping to be able to start shipping the drug as soon as possible, he made sure to give Sherlock a device that would let Sherlock thoughts to be heart when ever Sherlock wanted them to be.

Sherlock thought that Jimmie came to him because he cared about him and started to think of Jimmie as a father and when a group of super villains came to attack the facility shortly before the drug was going the start being mass produced he tried to defend his father to the best of his abilities. After a long an gruelling battle only Sherlock a couple of the scientists and the cleaning staff survived, finding his fathers body in the smouldering wreckage he promised to fight crime so others would not have to suffer such loss.

Sherlock has spent the last few years of his live fighting his crime, travelling via sewers and using is natural abilities to stop crimes ranging from stolen purses to hostage scenarios. He finds the job incredibly satisfying but is always disappointed and angered by the number of people who mistake him for a monster.

Other notes: Sherlock has tried in the past to walk out in the open but finds it scares people and make him loose any element of surprise, which he uses to fight crime. He also carries around a police radio with him to find out about crime.
hope you like it.

Well, this seems interesting, especially the chance to create a villain character (unless there's too many of those already, I'll check before I write my character.)

Anyway, I'll be back soon and then write up a character.

Sorry for any possible inconvenience, but this sheet is not yet complete. Also, apologies for all the pronouns, I suck at naming.
