It's not my decision to make, but I'd say as long as you don't make a direct reference to the series, then I can't imagine why not. I think using characters from in certain universes should be fine, just write them so they fit into the universe of Prey and don't relate to the original.i don said:
Again, this is just me playing it by ear, it's up to Samuel to decide the final yes or no, I can only advise.
Hmmm. This is my first RP, but I'm feeling creative lately, so if it's alright with the OP, I'd like to join in.
I have a character right here!
I have a character right here!
Name: James (the identity he uses most often. Cannot remember his real name)
Age: 83 (usually looks about 40)
Abilities: Shape-shifter, by default, is immortal and resilient to most injuries and weapons.
Bio: James was born in Mexico while his parents were vacationing there, and soon after came to America. From a young age he'd always been confusing his parents by switching the color of his eyes or hair, or constantly changing from being a few inches taller to a few inches shorter within the span of several minutes. By the time he was in high school, he'd learned how to control his ability and promptly switched his identity and ran away. He went to London where he performed on the streets by amazing crowds as an "Illusionist", exploiting his abilities. It was there that he met his best friend, Chris, who was also a shape-shifter.
The two roamed throughout the UK, thieving from wealthy targets, soon amassing a small fortune. However, after one particularly botched robbery, Chris was kill by a single bullet to the head while James narrowly escaped. After that night he switched his main identity to that of a well built middle aged man and moved to New York city where he wrote a popular series of books about two shape-shifting robbers.

Oooh, I'm interested.
Mind you, a little hesitant since that dragon RP you ran with Sparrow died so prematurely. YOU BROKE MY HEART, SAM!
*sniff* Okay, I'm done. I'll try to think up a sheet, but if I can't think of something spectacular I probably won't bother. I've been keeping pretty busy lately, and don't want to add a half-assed RP character into the mix.

Name: Derek Taylor
Age: Whatever he wants to be at the current time, though introduces himself as 24.
Bio: Derek's life seemed to be perfect and his future almost promised to him. In his high school years Derick was the school's star Wide reviver and was practically unstoppable. Though the thing that made him unique compared to other players his age was the fact that he could play multiple positions on the field. He had excellent strength and precision when it came to passing the ball up field. He was also the fastest and most agile on the team and this made him an excellent half back. He received multiple scholarships to various Division 1 schools across the country. Though Derek's dream was quickly shattered when he tore his ACL. Without football Derek's educational career was practically over. He wasn't exactly the smartest guy in the world and placed all his hope in football. With the various colleges pulling their support Derek turned to his last option that he thought he had. As soon as he graduated from high school he enlisted in the Army.
At the time the U.S. was working on the Achilles Warrior project. The projects plan was to inject the specimen with a mixture of nano bots and a polymimetic alloy, essentially liquid metal. At the time Derek was the perfect test subject and he agreed to the operations based on the assumption he would be heavily compensated. At first the injections were supposed to be carried out simultaneously though in the end only the nano bots were injected. Soon Derek was gifted with increase speed, reflexes, strength, endurance and a healing factor.
Derek soon was the leading factor in various confidential black ops carried out by the United States government. Though the scientists who created the Achilles project thought it was time to initiate the second phase of the project by injecting the polymimetic alloy. Though when Derek was injected with the alloy it corrupted his cells and the alloy started to take over his body. The following days were the most painful that Derek experienced in his life as the alloy took over only leaving his mind intact.
The government tried to cover up their "Frankenstein" by locking him up in Area 51. Though over time as Derek learned to deal with his new form he escaped leaving bloodshed and destruction in his path. For the next several years Derek traveled the world trying to avoid being captured.
In recent months Derek has set himself in a small apartment and started to sell drugs to make his way through life with enough money to sustain himself and have a little fun.
Personality: Derek is a born leader based on his want to be the dominant force in everything he does. Derek would mostly likely be at the center of any party, taking command. Derek is truly in his element when allowed to take command of a situation. He tends to think big and act big - often in terms that would scare others.
Derek also has a flair for the dramatics, and is essentially a born entertainer. His natural creativeness and magnetism attract others to him and he truly enjoys being the focal point of any situation.
Overall Derek is just a pleasure seeker doing anything he can to have a good time.
Abilities: When Derek's body was corrupted by the alloy he gained more abilities than just the increased physical attributes of the nano bots. The basic ability was to take the form of anything that has relativity the same mass as he does. This allows him to shape shift into other things and other people. Derek is also able to turn various limbs of his body into weapons. Lastly he can melt down his structure and use this to get around obstacles, and enter humans to tear them from the inside out.
Appearance: Derek usually takes the form of his old self before the Achilles project: A tall, roughly 6'7, well-built African-American.
Though his "true" form resembles this:

Indeed. Funny how things work out like that. Though, I don't think our RP forum is so huge that it would have taken too long. I think I've RPed with, or at least encountered everyone who's put a sheet up so far; except for Zirat.SeanTheSheep said:
I feel old, suddenly.
I've encountered everyone in the thread, but I've only RPed with a few.Sporky111 said:

It's my first RP, but i'm willing to give this a shot.
Name: Marcus Redcrosse
Age: 20
Race: Human
Appearance: Standing at roughly around six foot, Marcus is a fairly pasty looking white caucasian male. His pale skin makes him stand out somewhat in a crowd, and it is for this reason he tends to smother himself in clothes. He typically wears a dark grey hoody with no major defining features and long, raggedy jeans. He may even wear a leather jacket over the hoody to further conceal himself, or attempt to. He is thin and fairly scrawny. His dark brown hair is in a messy, wild style that depicts his mental state and is of fairly short length. He walks awkwardly, trying to keep himself to himself as much as possible. Underneath his hoodies and baseball caps however, there is a finely defined jaw and a handsome, clean-shaven face. He has crystal clear blue eyes, noticeable even if he is not staring directly at somebody. He is occasionally seen with a rucksack containing all manner of objects and wears standard black and white sneakers. He speaks with a soft, Germanic accent, though it is not terribly noticeable.
Powers and abilities: Being highly unstable, Marcus is prone to all manner of extreme feelings, of which manifest themselves in various ways around his environment. In a moment of desperate panic, for example, where he may feel trapped, he may send a forceful wave of telekinesis around his person that sends objects around him flying. In feelings of intense hatred, fire or electricty may erupt unexpectantly. When he feels awkward, anything may happen, which can go from something as benign as saying something inappropriate to water freezing into ice around him. His powers are highly unpredictable and highly varied; it has not yet been fully discerned what he is and isn't able to conjure, but what is known is that they are all very much controlled by his emotions, which are very unstable at the best of times. As he is a techie, he keeps all manner of gadgetry in his rucksack and a laptop with him at nearly all times. He has a lot of experience with computing from personal obsession; an obsession that has nearly landed him on the wrong side of the law a couple of times. He carries a glock handgun, but being inexperienced and having never fired at anyone, he likely wouldn't know how to use it effectively.
Personality: Wild. Unpredictable. Emotional. These are the words to describe Marcus, who is prone to very extreme mood swings. He is a paranoid individual, mistrustful of most and always jumping to conclusions. He has an extremely cynical view of the world and believes everyone is 'out to get him' or betray him at some point. To this end, he finds it hard to make friends and trust people. He may suddenly shout for no reason, or laugh uncontrollably at something that wasn't all that funny to begin with. He is a very awkward individual. He also tends to stutter a great deal at times of extreme (perceived or otherwise) stress. This can preclude a discharge of power. Beyond his paranoid exterior lies a gentle, caring soul that rarely, if ever, shows itself. He may also display symptoms of mild schizophrenia, where he may see or hear things others seemingly cannot. This can cause him to act irrationally and it may appear as though he is having a conversation with himself. It is unknown as of yet if this, coupled with the drastic mood swings, is the early stages of developing a split personality.
History: Having abusive parents, Marcus quickly learned to view the world with very hateful eyes indeed. His father refused to acknowledge him, and his mother blamed him for their failing marriage. Eventually this grew too much for Marcus, and during a classroom session when classmates were bullying him for his pale complexion and social awkwardness, he erupted into a fit of rage and various desks flew about the room. In his fury, he supposedly stabbed a student to death with a pair of scissors and flung a desk on one student hard enough to fracture his skull. Having been traumatised from the event and taken into custody, he was deemed mentally unfit and sent to a rehabilitation centre. His parents never visited him and he grew ever more scornful inside his room. Refusing to take his medication which was supposed to suppress his powers by keeping his emotions pacified, his fear caused the power in the facility to go down. In the ensuing confusion, Marcus was able to make a break for it and escape. He has since stolen a laptop from a businessman in a nearby café and set up shop in an abandoned apartment block, where he makes his living working for clients by stealing files from rival companies, shareholders and the like and selling them back for a profit or blackmail. He was since able to afford a desktop, but still lives in atrocious conditions. His erratic behaviour can get him in trouble with the law enforcement often .

Here's my sheet. The Bio's kind of lengthy, feel free to skip to the last paragraph for all the important bits.
<spoiler=Basaran AKA Nathan Hale>
Name: Basaran
Assumed Name: Nathan Hale
Age: 923 Years
Appearance: Basaran is a minor deity who works in darkness and shadows. In light he maintains the form of a short, thin 30-something man, but at dusk he can escape his human form as a large dark creature, and at night he can completely abandon his human body in favor of a flowing mass of darkness. Although he is much weaker in his human form, Basaran is very fast and agile.
Bio: Basaran came into existence in the year 1094 AD in the perpetual darkness of a sarcophagus. At first, he was a small speck of shadow in that void, but eventually, he came to occupy more of it and comprise more of the darkness. Over the course of several years, he came to know that small space as the entire universe, seeing the eroding shape adorned in gold as a landscape of hills and valleys. Eventually, the stone sky opened up and Basaran knew the burn of light. Dark shapes reached into his world and pulled the gold from the corpse within. In an effort to escape the burn of light, Basaran let his consciousness flow into the corpse, and stepped out of the sarcophagus in that form. After scaring away what he would later know to be grave-robbers, Basaran left the crypt and explored the new world.
Over the next 900 or so years, Basaran learned the ways of the world, and at night when he could exercise his full power, the world learned his ways. He learned to speak and interact with humans, and bent battles in favor of his allies. In the dead of night he could access any information, and slay any person that was foolish enough to sleep without a torch.
Basaran spent the past 100 years of his life in a large city, during which he learned about the current events of World War II through Nathan Hale, a man he met by chance in the city. Nathan was the only human in many years that had seen Basaran and accepted him. Nathan was very intelligent and was on an intellectual level that Basaran had not seen in human previously. At the age of 37, Nathan developed terminal lung cancer, and at the age of 38 he died. Without thinking, Basaran from then on assumed Nathan's name and shape when in public, as a sign of respect. After running into a close friend of Nathan's who excitedly proclaimed his friend had risen from the dead, Basaran entered a deep depression and a few days later climbed into the sewers and entered a deep sleep. 45 years later, he was shaken awake by an explosion that destroyed the street above.

Name: Adam
Age: Almost a thousand years old
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Classification: Parasitic curse
Abilities: -By placing both hands on a persons face, Adam can absorb there life-force and add it to his own. The extra life-force can be used for healing and extending his life. The energy within his body is not limitless though and he needs to replenish it every week. Must be human for him to absorb the energy, animals and plans don't have the proper type of energy.
-Due to his parasitic tendencies, Adam has no need to eat, drink or sleep as the energy he absorbs from others has become his main source of nutrients. However, his 'hunger' is never sated, and like a heartbeat he feels the urge to feed on others rumbling within him.
-Through touch, Adam can sense many things. While mostly used to ensure his next 'meal' is human, he can sense information within what he is feeling, such as chemical makeup, magical properties and even what the person had for dinner. An automatic reaction, Adam gets these readings whenever he touches something. He usually wears gloves over his hands to avoid getting overwhelmed.
Appearance: Adam looks like an old fashioned city gentlemen in his late twenties. He wears a nice, trim, three piece suit, black silk gloves, bowler hat and often caries an old fashion cane with him.
He relatively athletic, but not overly muscled and his skin is also a paler than most other Caucasian males. Adam has taken to keeping clean shaven, his short brown hair combed smoothly back and his teeth are always sparkling white.
Personality: Optimistic and cheerful, Adam does not fit your typical necromancer formula. When he had first gained the curse, Adam had been in dark mood, lashing out at random in order to substain his life, angry with all of humanity for the hunger that had been embedded within him. He has now accepted his place in the world, doing his best to just enjoy life and survive the best he can, despite the hunger within him.
Adam belivies in a balance of good and evil, never siding with any side for a long period of time. He views extreme morality as dangerous, seeing many people considered 'good' do terrible things because they thought they were right or that others were 'wrong'.
Biography: Born and raised in a small Roman village, Adam was convicted of a crime he did not commit and sentenced to fight in the gladiator pits. He fought and fought, everyday seeming to inch closer to his death, until out of the blue one day, he won his freedom and was led into the room with one of the government ministers waiting for him. The man complimented Adam on his fighting skills and remarked about how handsome Adam was. The man lunged for Adam, grabbing him around the throat and Adam could suddenly feel his very life being torn out of him. The years of fighting bloodied battles in the gladiator pits proved useful and he was able to snap the ministers neck.
A sudden sense of dread passed through Adam as he looked down at the man he had just murdered. Not only had he just killed a government minister but he could feel a new kind of hunger brewing inside him. A guard happened upon him and the body, and as if on instinct, Adam grabbed the guard as the minister had grabbed him, the guards life-force draining into Adam, making him feel younger and stronger than before. Stealing as much as he could, Adam quickly came to terms that something had changed inside him and his life would never be the same.
Making some easy money off of the clothes and jewels he had stolen, he fled Rome and traveled North, learning slowly about his curse. He killed travelers and stole there clothes and tools, slowly accumulating wealth and travelling the globe, learning various languages and customs. With his accumulated wealth and language skills, Adam became the 'Go to guy' for many legit and illegal operations. He helped doctors during the Black Plague, ship opium overseas, ended working for both the CIA and KGB, before finally settling back down for life as a traveler, simply looking for where the road will take him next.
Currently, Adam is looking for ways to find the origins of his curse as well as find any curses that may be simaler to his in order to cure himself and live a 'normal' life.

Right, I'm a long-time RPer, but I've never RPed on this site itself before. Been looking for something good, so I've gotta say that this caught my eye! I might be a little rusty, however; haven't RPed in a while.
Hurrah, lengthy bios. No personality because I prefer to let that develop as I go rather than making it right off the bad. Eyah, hope that wasn't too bad.
Name: Rezetta Morwood (AKA, Zetta)
Age: 23
Race: Half-demon, half-human
Classification: Illusionist
Appearance: Rezetta is a tall woman with long, dark red hair she usually keeps in a bun. Her eyes are a striking white, though she usually wears blue contacts. Her teeth are all very slightly pointed and her nails are kept long and sharp, much like claws. She wears a lot of dark clothes; usually long-sleeved shirts, jeans, gloves, and boots.
Abilities: Being a half-demon, Rezetta has considerable magical prowess. She can weave illusions of any sort "tied" to a person's mind (so that only they can see it), or she can create something visible to anyone. By staring into a person's eyes, Zetta can--and usually does--see a person's fear and use that to weave something terrifying around them.
Bio: Rezetta was born of a human woman and a demon, who stayed only long enough to conceive a child. Rezetta's mother died giving birth to her, leaving her to be raised by her mother's brother Maurice. Maurice didn't quite hate the half-demon Rezetta, but he certainly feared her and he let her know it constantly.
Zetta's illusion powers bloomed once she hit her twelfth birthday, when she unwittingly made the image of a dog run around the house. Zetta, unaware that she was doing it, became frightened and, as such, more crazy illusions popped up around her. Maurice, not quite sure what was happening and just becoming more and more terrified of the girl, tried getting her to stop by beating her. Rezetta got away and ran off, never going back to her uncle again.
After living on the streets for one year, Rezetta somehow got herself entangled in a group of drug traffickers who all happened to be part demon like herself. Several of them happened to have powers as well and thus helped her to better harness hers. The group was busted two years later, with several of the members dying in the resulting firefight. Rezetta managed to use her powers to help herself escape, along with two other members of the group. They split up during their escape and Zetta never saw them again.
Zetta made a life for herself by robbing others, something her powers made her good at. She managed to set up a sort of business with those who wanted things somebody else had. She kept this up until she turned 19, when some people angry about her business managed to find her and tried to kill her. She escaped once again with her powers and managed to find a normal delivery job. Since then, she's kept a low-key profile and hasn't yet had too much more trouble.

Hurrah, lengthy bios. No personality because I prefer to let that develop as I go rather than making it right off the bad. Eyah, hope that wasn't too bad.
{Name: Kyros (current name, Varies depending on trust)
Age: Over 10,000 years
Classification: Possible Demigod (though he would deny it), perhaps a manifestation of science and logic itself.
Appearance: A tall cloaked figure, he sports many advanced technological enhancements that he has not revealed to anyone. His skin is as white as snow with a metallic sheen to it providing hint of its nature.
Abilities: His skin is a made of an unknown alloy that has proven it?s self to provide excellent protection against almost all forms of attack. He also possesses the ability to control and bend metal and technology to his will in a 50 meter radius. His control over metal and tech diminishes as the size and range of the target increases. He is able to seemingly create armaments, ammo, and tools from within himself at times. Over time he has give himself many upgrades to his frame and form. One of the many upgrades is a neural interface that gives him almost perfect recall and he can wirelessly interface with networks, mainframes, and other devices, though this has caused for unknown reasons sudden emotional changes at time. He is slow and not very agile but he makes up for that with his ability to react swiftly and intelligently and being hard to injure.
Origin: Though he has almost perfect recall of his life the first thousand or so years are a mystery to him but he feels that he there are beings just like him out their perhaps related directly to him. He has strongly opposed magic as it being illogical at times and still opposes it this has caused many a conflict with magical beings though in the end technology would win. He resides generally in a hidden underground vault of his own design and monitors the world but he has become exceedingly interested in the people who are hunting others. That has been able to prevent him from learning anything so far. He has since then ventured out but remained hidden for the most part.}

Just looking over your sheet and..I'm just wondering how he's not going to be considered Overpowered?SolomonG679 said:
I'm not the GM, nor do I have influnce over who is choosen but being immune to 'most forms of damage', creaiting weapons within yourself, healing factor and control overnall technology in an area just seems to be a bit much.
Heh, we seem to have a pair of very similar characters. Either they'll get on like a house on fire, or be at each other's throats in moments.Dragonizer said:
I hadnt looked at it that way i suppose that he will need to be altered to make him not as powerful though i dont see how you got a healing factor out of his abilitesQuad08 said:
Oh wow, you're right. Wellp, it seems a lot of the characters in this RP lead or have led some sort of life of crime, eh? All of the character interactions should be interesting.SeanTheSheep said:
