Good Evening, this is your 12'o Clock Parallelogram Peninsula News. Legendary Villain Professor Maldeath was killed hours ago by several Super-Heroes while attending a underground meeting with several possible Villains. Maldeath, who sources claimed was trying to bring back the age of Super-Villains, was best remembered as, in certain circles, one of the greatest Villains of the past 50 years...
An air of sadness filled the room as the news was processed by 3 of Maldeath's former Students While they knew little of the man, they couldn't help but feel sorrow over his passing.
"Dammit...He was the only lead to my past..."
"...Really Maldeath? I came all this way for your little project, and then you just up and die? We haven't even been here a day!"
"Both of you, keep it down, there's more..."

... Still, no body has been found...We have also received word from the now Super-Run Department of Defence that they intend to build a massive several trillion dollar prison to house the several other young Villains who were captured in the raid, However, as it will take several years to build, the Villains will be kept under lock and key at Parallelogram Peninsula Federal Prison in general population until the Super-Prison is opened. This reported tried to get a interview with some of the heroes who took part in the attack, but sources say that tonight will be a night of celebration for many heroes. It can be said that Super-Hero Activity will be low for the next few days...
A collective plan began to form.
""Hey, you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Sounds like somebodies are about to get Parole..."
And so our Villains began staging a jail break...
Alright, one thing very clear, this is NOT my Idea, the original RP was all of Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon's idea, just due to people dropping out, we are rebooting it, M'kay?
The world his much like our own but with Super-Heroes and...Well...More Super-Heroes. As it stands, heroes have gotten a little overzealous. Since the disappearance of most villains, giving up because of being constantly beaten, they have taken to beating up anyone who does anything against the law, even littering. The governments can't do anything, being to weak to be able to fight off the countless heroes, and the people of earth live ever-fearful lives under their oppressive overlord heroes.

They control everything, have people everywhere. The media, the newspapers, the banks, the hot-dog stands... There a few places you can go where you aren't under their eye, few things that aren't controlled by them. The world is safe sure, but it's not free. What's life without freedom?

In short, the world needs villains. Villains who the heroes can fight and be occupied with, so that they are unable to oppress the rest of normal humanity.

Maldeath was trying to recruit several Villains to make this possible but with him dead, this plans have been ruined...
Or have they?...
Yes...
Yes they have, still, we can try though, right?...
Name: Derp, I wonder what goes here.

Alias: The name your villain goes by when doing villain things.

Gender: Deciphering the code as to what goes here proves your worth.

Age: Try to make it somewhat young, these are new villains.

Appearance: I'm not too bothered about this part, so a picture'll do just fine if you want. A paragraph for those of you who want to describe your character that way.

Powers/Skills: Basically what your villain-in-training does. Lightning bolts? Magic? Martial arts? Don't make it too OP. Also, I want some variation in the powers. So try to make yours different from the others.

History: Your villain-to-be's past, obviously. Include the origin of their powers in some way, and have why they want to be a villain at all. Make it at least a paragraph or something.

Parallelogram Peninsula (Parapen for short) is exactly what it says on the tin, a peninsula shaped like a parallelogram, located along the west cost of America. A long stretch of land, now turned into a road, reaches out until it opens up into it's parallelogram shape, about six miles across and three miles along.

On the peninsula is a large city, covering almost the entirety of the land. The city is very varied, having both high and clean skyscrapers and smaller dingy buildings. There's even a small area that is covered in a forest and other wildlife.

It used to be a dark place where crime was high, one of the worst cities to live in the whole of America. These days... It's still one of the worst cities to live in the whole of America, only for different reasons. Due to how things were it has almost become a hub of hero activity and where people are oppressed the most. It's estimated that about 1/5th of the population is a 'hero', making it one of the most oppressed countries in America. Perhaps even the world.

Name: Coraline Jeska Reynolds

Alias: Inferno

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Appearance: When she doesn't have her powers active, she looks a little something like this:

But once she has activated her powers, she looks like this:


Powers: Coraline has the ability to wreathe herself in fire. She also has control over flames, including her own. She mainly uses this second ability to use herself as a living flamethrower or to create fireballs.

Personality:
Inferno said:
"Of course you should fight fire with fire. You should fight everything with fire."
Coraline is extremely hotheaded [pun intended] and impatient. She is more than slightly... look, I don't believe it is necessary for me to state the personality disorders evident in an individual who enjoys (or more accurately revels) in covering her enemies (or anything, really) with gouts of flame while laughing maniacally so I'll move on.

History: Caroline was born to Ryan and Amy Reynolds, a loving and religious family in eastern Kansas. She was always a quiet girl, and never seemed to be a happy child. When Coraline was a young girl, she went with her parents to a bonfire at the farm of one of her classmates. When her parents saw the look in Coraline's eyes when she first saw that great pyre being lit, they made an excuse to leave and rushed Coraline back to the car as she kicked and screamed. She was more sullen than usual for weeks afterwards. As Coraline grew older, the more her parents noticed her disappearing off for hours at a time, reeking of Axe and just a hint of smoke.

The Reynolds may have been the first parents in history to pray that their daughter was smoking cigarettes.

Their question was answered one September morning a few months after Coraline turned sixteen. She was filching a bit of gasoline from her parents car for a bit of personal enjoyment before school when her mother walked into the garage.

Amy Reynolds starts to yell at her daughter.
Coraline screams back at her mother.
Amy calls for her husband.
Ryan comes in and joins the fray.
Coraline continues to angrily yell at her parents.
As Coraline accusingly thrusts her finger at her mother, Coraline's arm bursts into flames.


For the second time and last in their lives, Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds saw their daughter smile.

Origin of Coraline's Powers: It goes a little something like this [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com//comics/00000822.jpg].
Name: Ash Wales
Alias: Red-0 ("Red Zero")
Gender: Female.
Age: 22
Power:

Barriers
Red here can make translucent red membranes/barriers that stops material and energy motion that 'collide' with them. It glows red menacingly, but doesn't have any harmful effects on objects other than what Newton's Third Law would imply -- it's basically a wall there, as long as she can keep the barrier up. The barriers are usually stationary, but Ash can coat herself with a barrier that allows her to move.

Limits to her power include size, distance, movement, and amount of force exerted on the walls -- she can only make them perform so well, and stretching her limits in one area will cause a weakening in others, and overexertion can tire her out. Ash's power is inherited from some genetic abnormality that both she and her brother had, though Ash has no idea as to any specifics.

That's her only power, but she usually carries a knife and baton for close-quarters combat.

Appearance:

The Costume
A dark red -- nearly black -- cloak (hood affixed up, but the thing's detachable if needed) that doesn't quite go all the way down to her legs, along with clothes that are thick enough to hide her body features.

The style of shirt: http://a.sccdn.net/products-10/486x/10456.jpg

She wears thick blood red pants and a black belt along with that, can't find a suitable image for those at the moment.

Ash wears a featureless black mask over her face (which, upon close inspection, seems to be entirely made of material she can see through) with a voice modifier underneath.[Ash has to put a fair amount of work into being intimidating, since her power isn't very scary at first and she's trying to go for "The Faceless" sort of image].

Always wears black gloves and boots as well, to complete the image: No skin or hair is showing at any given time as long as her uniform isn't damaged.

The style of gloves: http://img.alibaba.com/wsphoto/v0/398943522/45cm-long-elbow-kid-leather-lady-gloves-black-S-M-L-XL-free-shipping.jpg

What the Person Looks Like

5'5", lightly tanned and underweight, though not quite angular. Someone else's character sheet mentioned the word "buxom" right around here; Ash is far from that.

She has vibrant red hair, though it's only shoulder-length, and light blue eyes that glow red when she's using her power. She has a thin scar on her right leg from when she crashed on her bike one time as a kid.

Background: Ash has actually lived in Parapen her whole life, her parents having moved there before Ash and her older brother were born to live in the utopia that the superheroes promised. Life was mostly normal for the four, until one of the Wales mysteriously gained a superpower.

It wasn't Ash. It was her brother, Mark. He'd gained the ability to heal -- and augment his body -- with a mystical blue aura, that he'd gained when the Wales' house was being robbed one night. The family accepted him immediately, and were proud when he wanted to join the superheroes.

Ash, while a bit jealous, had supported her older brother while he gained some fame under the identity of Blues (for all his good traits, Mark wasn't original), and had wanted to join him at first. However, while Blues was the superhero the world wanted... the other heroes had more encompassing goals than he, and Blues would come to oppose the totalitarian heroes. Sadly, Blues could not keep his civilian identity secret forever, and the wrong people found out.

One night, the Wales residence was raided by a group of heroes, claiming that Mark was under arrest for some crime -- Ash wouldn't remember what excuse they used. Seeing the truth of what was going on, Mark attempted to surrender peacefully, but the heroes made it clear he would have to fight when they mentioned that his family would be involved. Mark fought well, but one of the heroes was able to mortally wound him, and went after Ash's parents in front of the two, getting to them before Ash could stop the hero from causing harm -- her power manifested at some point during the chaos, but she was too late to save anyone but herself. As his dying words, Blues only expressed pride for his little sister, and asked for her to forgive him for trusting those that called themselves heroes.

Ash adopted her own super identity, which would come to be called "Red-0", to support herself in a life of crime and be free of those who claim to protect.

This was some time ago, however, and Ash had gotten her revenge on the heroes directly responsible for her family's demise. She honestly grew to enjoy the lifestyle of a villain over the years, even if she isn't quite the card-carrying sort that Maldeath is.

And honestly? It's fun, and to live free makes one a villain anyway, so why not go all the way with it?

Name: Amelia Connoly

Alias: Energea

Gender: Female

Age: 21

Appearance: 5'7, slender (about 120 lbs), Caucasian, shoulder-length red-gold hair that is usually tied back, green eyes, multiple piercings in her ears/nose/lips, tribal-style tattoos up her arms and across her back, generally tends to dress casually- her favorite outfit consists of a pink tanktop, a black leather jacket, tight jeans, black leather boots.

Powers/Skills: Can absorb & store energy, either releasing them in bursts or use them to enhance speed & strength. But the energy enhancements only last for a limited time, and she tends to literally "explode" when she gets angry. Also, she can only hold so much energy at a time, and might even become addicted to energy absorption. She also has some experience in street fighting.

History: The only child of a scientist and a nurse, Amelia was always a bit of a trouble child, always off partying, drinking, drugs, etcera, and as her parents were always busy, they never gave her much attention, leading her to run with the wrong crowd. Then one day, Amelia was convinced by her friends to break into her father's workplace in order to steal some tech... just for the hell of it. It just so happened that was the day her father happened to be working on a new method of generating energy, and had just started the machine when Amelia broke in. The resulting backlash of energy zapped the poor girl, sending her to the hospital. When Amelia woke up, she found that she could absorb and manipulate energy. Her father was amazed by this, and wanted to study her. But not wanting to become an experiment, Amelia escaped from the hospital to spend her life the way she wanted, using her new-found powers to live her life the way she wanted, though her old friends were... not looking to come with her, so Amelia went off on her own, now calling herself Energea.
Personality-wise, Amelia is generally a party girl always looking for a good time. But she can also be quite wary about others, considering her experiences, and has a bit of a difficult time trusting people. Her party-girl attitude may be a front for her insecure nature, and at times, she can come across as sarcastic, cynical, and possibly even borderline sociopathic. She's almost always on the move, always looking for a good time, even if the activity it of the illegal sort, as far as shes concerned, that makes it even more fun.

Name: Joey Castanzano

Alias: Blue Blood

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Appearance: Generic Italian mob kid, black hair, 5'8", wears nothing but the best hand tailored suits, silk shirts,tie,pants,coat,etc. occasionally wears a fedora.

Powers/Skills: Able to control flesh,blood,bones, etc. by mere touch, though it tires him to continue doing the same act multiple times, he can only use this a dozen times or less per day, depending on the strength and intensity of the change he causes to his victim's bodies. Healing and regrowing is easier for reasons unknown to him, allowing him to re-knit flesh,make the body produce more blood, that kind of thing.

He also has pretty good aim with his Tommy Gun he keeps on himself at all times, pearl handled,cobalt plated, as it is a family heirloom, he has a name for it as well, which is carved into the back of the trigger handle, Donatello, Donny for short

History: Joey was born into a former mob family, though they had been taken down by the heroes many years prior and he was born into hiding. When he was 19, he watched from inside a panic room with his sisters and mother as his uncle and father were slowly crushed to death by the "hero" that took down his Family, Graviton, a hero with the ability to concentrate gravity in specific places, unable to create it, but moving it. He soon found a button hidden underneath the desk, finding the machine gun and opening the panic room door, and rushed out to aid his family, after firing a few shots at the hero, he was trapped, and slowly had the life crushed out of him in the middle of what was left of his uncle and father. He came to a few hourse later, in a hospital bed that had been called by the activation of the panic room, wrapped in bandages,casts, and splints. He looked around, hoping to find his sisters and mother to greet him, but only found blank space. He noticed a while later that he could easily move his limbs without pain and found a way to take off his casts through a tray of medical instruments on his sidetable. He checked himself out and was picked up by the cops when he left, and taken to the precinct, only to be told that his sisters and mother had met the same fate as the rest of his family. After a few hours of rage,crying, and being locked in a jail cell, he came to the conclusion that it was time to take the fight back to the heroes, and repay them in buckets and barrels of blood. He practiced with his pistol for a straight year, during which he spent the final savings of his family and killed the families of two minor heroes to practice his skills, by causing their bodies to produce too much blood and drowning. He's not sure exactly why he's able to manipulate the bodies of others, but since his crushing into the mess of his family's bodies, he's sometimes felt different emotions that weren't his own while feeling nothing in particular. He blames himself for his family's death, and broods over it often, after which he flies into an uncontrollable rage, flipping tables, breaking walls, shooting pillows, ripping apart animals if he gets his hands on them, etc.

Name: Roachman. (Sammy Bell, now refers to himself as roachman to anyone that is a perceived enemy or threat, eg, the heroes who tried to help him off the street)

Alias: "ROACHMAAAN!!!"

Gender: Roach-man.

Age: "Nearly 18!" (17)

Powers: Resilience of a cockroach! Can survive being thrown about alot, smashed, crushed, squashed, flattened, trodden, compacted and stepped on, unless you have massive feet as a power.
He is also very strong, dexterous and can cling to Walls and ceilings. He sports a set of large, yellow wings (ref. Tarantula hawk) and large, powerful mandibles, the wings can close down when they are not in use and have sharp edges which defend against what comes close while they are flapping. His main weakness is his long antennae, which pay for their sensory benefits. His wings and antennae can grow back if damaged. Like most insects, he loves sweet things and has a strong stomach.
His fighting style involves the use of his powerful legs and forearms, the latter of which feature four chitin horns. He fights literally like an insect, recklessly and mercilessly. He uses his weight to hit through a block and often aims for the torso and head. He dislikes extreme temperatures, but moreso heat, example, fire.

Appearance: 5ft, roughly, double the average weight of a man his size thanks to a thick chitin under his skin which creates a shock resistant frame. Large yellow wings and chitin horns on the forearms, matty, unkempt brown-grey hair at shoulder length. Darkened skin, with a greyish tint. Muscular, wiry frame with veiny arms and calves. Green blood.
His face is harsh, angular, with a flat nose and a smirk which says "I think I'm better than you.", he has irises that consume his eyes, and when, in light, create a tiny speck of a pupil and in the dark, a deep pool of black. His jawbones feature large mandibles capable of cutting through steel.
His clothing is a White, baggy shirt underneath a stained brown zipper jacket with rips at the back where his wings exit. He wears baggy jeans ripped at the knees and sagging to reveal some underwear. He years black, converse shoes, with torn heels and fronts and a blue and grey striped woollen beanie hat.

History: Sammy was born to the working class Bell family. They lived outside of the city. In school Roachman was a drama queen, a writer, poet and wannabe artiste! He wished to be a master artisan of mastering all arts! He was intelligent, fit and desperate to be admired by all! He joined all clubs and after-school activities he could! But despite the fact he was, indeed decent at all he did, it was found that he still failed to make friends because of his arrogance and desire for slaves as opposed to friends, or servants, rather.
This was all very well, but as life got tougher, as he moved to high school, Roachman found he was unable to handle the pressures of his extra curricular activities as well as his subjects, more subjects, more work, which means less time.
He grades fell, and with few qualifications he left school at 16 to work. With some saved cash and a reckless attitude, Roachman left home and lived in a flat for two months. He struggled to find a feasable job with his qualifications. "Six months experience to wash dishes? How does one make a start in this world!?" at the end of month 2, he was kicked out, and forced to live on the city streets by his own stubborn desire to support himself.
The harsh, cold nights and lack of food was difficult at first, but this is where Sammy became roachman, his stubborn will to live drove him to eat expired, rotten food, and somehow, win impossible fights with violent "heathens" of the streets. This was an odd, inhuman development....
Within several weeks, sammy had became ROACHMAN! A super-powered-hobo, basically! Fighting foes such as the OWNER OF THE CHINESE TAKE AWAY! Battling his swatting with a rolled up newspaper and yelling of ANGRY CHINESE WORDS! Roachman would flee, but he'd be back, Roaches always come back....
"Yuuuuuck, this paper tastes nasty....what's it say that makes it taste so bad? Is it the politics section of a newspaper? Oh? Hmmmm...."
Roachman read the invitiation, a toothy grin appearing across his face. Then he squins to read a partially chewed section of text.
"....Yadda, yadda yadda...it probably doesn't matter. I got the point....rise against the goody-goodies....this I like the sound of...."
Roachman stuffed the discarded invitation into the pocket of his jeans and continued to forage in the trashcan.
"And leftover ribs, too! This must be my lucky day!"

I had this character idea and I was going to use it in the original RP, but in the end I didn't and then I saw it was over ten pages and I was like "Welp, that was a bad idea". Anyhoo...

Name: Preston Matthews
Alias: Stormer (also refers to himself as the Lightning Master, for dramatic effect)
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Appearance: Caucasian, 5'11", Blue eyes, Brown hair that seems to always be standing up like an electric current is running through it. His outfit consists of a simple jeans/t-shirt combo, the shirt has a lightning bolt drawn on it and Preston also wears a pair of fingerless gloves and a pair of dark sunglasses, meant to obscure his face.
Powers/Skills: Can create miniature clouds which can then be used to fire off lightning bolts. Usually Preston would create a cloud around each hand an fire bolts from those, but the clouds don't necessarily have to be close to him. He sometimes uses them as a backdrop to himself while doing an evil laugh (something he is prone to do frequently). Preston can create clouds up to a range of about 100 metres away, but the farther they are, the less effective they tend to be.
History: Preston always wanted to be an actor. As a child he would always make distracting outbursts in class, which none of his teachers were happy with. As he grew older, he made many attempts to join theatre and improv groups, so he could show off his ability to act. Most times this ended with him being kicked out of the group, the common reason being that he was always overacting and ruining the scene for others and hogging attention. Preston assumed they were all just jealous and refused to dial it down. Another thing Preston always liked was villains. Especially those with style and a flair for the overdramatic. He saw supervillainy as the best possible outlet for his acting skills, where he knew they'd be appreciated.

After having been kicked out of yet another theatre group, Preston was walking home angered in the middle of a storm. He didn't know that high above him, "heroes" were combating with an alien ship (it was a royal escort ship that had taken a wrong turn at Uranus and one simple misunderstanding led to another...). A piece of the ship broke off an hurled towards Earth. Preston only saw it once it struck the ground in front of him, tearing up dirt in the park he was walking through. No one else was around so he went over to investigate. He touched it, seeing that it felt metallic in nature. At that moment, a large bolt of lightning appeared overhead and the ship piece acted as a lighting rod. The bolt struck the piece and then went right into Preston, throwing him backwards.

He awoke in a hospital sometime later. After about a day they let him go with a clean bill of health. It wasn't until later in his small apartment that sparks started to fly form his hands. He found, after a lot of time and effort that with concentration he could create miniature clouds that fired lightning. It was prefect, he even started making a costume for himself. The costume was made of gaudy fabrics and a large cape, however, since the recent overcrowding of heroes, he knew he'd have to draw less attention to himself (for the first time in his life). He decided to go with more plain looking clothes, but still painted a lightning bolt on his shirt, knowing that a symbol is a large part of the act.

Now that he had the clothes and the powers, all he needed was a chance to achieve his dream.

Hey guys, this is Inferno here to tell you to not godmode! If you do, I'll blast you with fire, until you stop being dumb. ;-p

Also, please try to keep your proposed powers than the others are already involved with this whole shindig or who have already posted a character sheet. Just so you know,

Here I am... wait, Rugal's already ahead of me. He always plans too far ahead. ;p Anyways, so some of the other old people may rejoin at some point, but that isn't expected. Oh, and by the way, if you'd like you can reserve a color for when your character speaks. I chose brightred, Maldeath chose actual red, Delta (his robot butler) chose green, Red-0 chose bold and Rugal never chose one. Have fun!

First off, I got dyslexia and I am Dutch. So my grammar can suck. I always use word and spelling control plugin for firefox before I post anything.
Hope this is any good.

Name: Lourens Tennant
Alias: Ferrous
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Appearance: Caucasian 5'8, Green eyes, Short rust brown hair, Wears a Black balaclava, with a red hard hat, brown boilersuit and black combat boots. Doesn't wear any gloves, else his power's won't work.
Powers/Skills:
Corrosion: Can corrode metals by touching them. The stronger and thinker the metal is, the longer it takes to corrode. Corrodes an area of 4 feet in radius from where he is touching. It will only corrode metals can be corroded.

Metal absorption: His body can change in to the metal he is touching, gaining the strength and weakness from it for a short while. Can't corrode when he has absorbed a metal.

Metal diet: Needs a steady diet of metals and normal human food.

History: Lourens comes from a family of construction workers and metal workers. All his live, he has lived with and around metals and learned everything about them form his family. Besides learning about metals, Lourens also grew with certain values. No showboating, do your job and don't complain.

After following his dad and becoming a construction worker, Lourens always had a job with the amount of collateral damage that the heroes and villains caused. One day while repairing a factory building that manufactured chemicals. One of the battles between a Supervillian, his henchman and some Superheroes, spilled on to the construction site. In the battle one of the vats that holds some of the chemicals, got damaged and started leaking. The Superheroes, too busy with the battle, didn't pay any attention to the leak. Seeing the hazard that the leak presented, some of the workers and Lourens tried to stem the leak. Having managed to put a sheet of metal over the leak, Lourens and another worker had to keep it steady while others welded it to the vat. A stray blast from one of the Super heroes, knocked ever one of their feet. This caused the sheet of metal to fall on the Lourens and drench him in the chemicals. Not noticing anything weird at the time, Lourens got back on to their feet and finished their job. With the battle done, one of the Superheroes got angry with them for repairing the leak. It was there job to do such things and it stole the lime light from him for them doing it.
Lourens was astonished by this. Why would he think that, that was why they were doing it.

They just did their job. Thinking nothing of it, Lourens just continued with his job. The next day, some of the metal plates that Lourens touched got corroded for no apparent reason. This happened on and off over the day, with the day ending with him turning in to the metal he was touching at the time. After a hour of walking around like that, Lourens turned back to normal. Freaked out about this, Lourens went home and told his family about it. They tried to help with it and to a degree they succeeded with giving him different things that see what happened to him or the things them self. Because of this, one his family members came got the idea about using his new abilities to sabotage the competition.
This worked for some time, until one of the Superheroes got suspicious. Tracking him done, the Superhero tried to take Lourens done. His family tried to help Lourens escape by delaying the Superhero, but this only caused the Superhero to turn on to his family. Injuring several and killing his dad. Having managed to evade the Superhero, Lourens swore revenge for the killing of his father on the Superhero.

So what exactly happened to FARD last time?
And I'd like to re-join but I'll have to check secluding I don't want to have to drift off like I did last time.

He said he would be gone a week, which became 2 weeks, which became a month.
So me, Zen and Vuvu said "Fuck it" and Rebooted.

Age: 22
Appearance: Well he's completely invisible so no one really knows, but he is a middle aged, British man, with a posh, Queen's English Accent.


Powers/Skills: He is power is invisibility.The catch is that he has no control over this, he is invisible all the time. This is both a curse and a blessing, but either way it eaves him well suited to villainy. This is the only power be possesses, but when he combines it with hi bitter cunning and physical strength, he becomes a force to be reckoned with.

History: Tobias Cornwallie is the youngest member of the famous Cornwallie family, a noble family hailing from Sussex with their roots firmly grounded in the British armed forces. For all of his life, Tobias has trained to become an officer in the BAF, spending the last four years of his life studying at Sandhurst Military College.

Even amongst his like minded peers Tobias struggled to fit in. His Social-Life was lacklustre to say the least and his love life was all but non-existent. He often wondered if people seemed to simply see through him. The lack of social contact left him bitter and vindictive and with a crippling self esteem issue, but he got through his college days by burying himself in books and fantasizing about his future revenge.

This all changed on graduation day. Tobias was going through is Great-Grandfathers belongings, deep in the vaults below the manor, looking for his famed sabre to wear at the parade. He couldn't find it, but he did find something better, a small lockbox from his Great-Grandfather's time in India. Prizing the rusty lock open, he found a small bejewled amulet inside. Instinct dictated that he put it on and no sooner had he did the metal chains clasp tight around his neck. Freaking out he tried to rip the amulet off but it was stuck fast, then he froze.He couldn't see his hands, he was invisible.

Tobias Cornwallie disappeared that day, but within weeks people started hearing the name "Sir Perdu" Whispered from unseen voices, first across Europe, then in the States. The world is Tobias' oyster.

His only regret is that he can no longer wear clothes in public.

Hope you enjoy ;)

Name: I forgot, let's go with "John Jacob Jinglehiemer Smith until my memory comes back

Alias: The Witty Angy Twit aka T.W.A.T.

Gender: Male

Age: What year is it, 2012? Can't be bothered to remember let's say 20

Appearance: 5'8". Other than that it's kinda a mystery after the super glue and costume shop incident, the only parts of my body not covered are my hands, feet, and that spikey mop of brown hair that somehow resists gravity's influence. The various pieces make me look like a overly flamboyant Team rocket member with a crappy knock-off hollow mask that smells faintly of urine.

Powers/Skills: Highly intelligent, though this is often offset by fits of apathy and pure idiocy. Also I can not die in anyway. Well not exactly. I can die, but I drop all my inventory and then wake up in my bed an hour later. Also Taco Bell, Del Taco, and haggis turns to gold after I digest it. It is... unpleasant but it funds my "evil" plans quite well. Also the "droppings" make a effective, but smelly, blunt weapon. Unfortunately I can only produce gold after eating the food stuffs previously mentioned, which are difficult to come by in prison. Figure they'd enjoy giving us terrible food, but no, I get lobster and caviar.

History: Most of my past is unknown prior to joining the academy. Contracted amnesia after having 12 metric tons of various costumes bombard my squishy human parts. The only thing that can be remembered is a terrible accident in which I was dowsed with super glue and thrown headlong into a costume shop by a hero, wearing tights that looked about two sizes too small, during the attack against Maldeath. Joined the academy after mistaking it for a Dairy Queen. After being informed that they did not enfact serve soft-serve, The academy was attacked and I was arrested with all the villians. Now that I'm in a super-villian prison I figured I might as well join the other villians in the ail-j reak-bay. And annoy them while I'm at it.

Still upset about there being no soft-serve.

Eh, not really. God Moding isn't "not being able to die", it's... I can't really say this in character, so I'm switching back to Toombsing it up.

Basically, God Mode is being Silver Age Superman - effectively being able to do anything, super powerful and basically invincible. If your character is a walking "win" button, then you're doing it wrong. In general, try to keep yourself in line for power level with the three of us and you'll be more than fine. I will say that I think your character needs a bit of fleshing out, and possibly a name change (but I don't speak for the group, and that last part is just my opinion).

Also, I won't say that "everyone acts like nothing happened", because it's kindof jerky to have a power that specifically affects how another person can react. For example, mind controlling your fellow villains isn't the best idea for making sure we all have fun. [small]You know, the whole point of this whole shindig. :p[/small]

"Gold is no good. It depreciates too quickly."

A bit of fleshing out would be alright, but your power isn't fundamentally overpowered -- even if gold is a bit genre blind. (And something like technetium-99m would be very amusing for the irony.)

On that note, I'd like to humbly request that everyone look to the original RP if they're considering being Team Evil's medic.

I had this character idea and I was going to use it in the original RP, but in the end I didn't and then I saw it was over ten pages and I was like "Welp, that was a bad idea". Anyhoo...

Name: Preston Matthews
Alias: Stormer (also refers to himself as the Lightning Master, for dramatic effect)
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Appearance: Caucasian, 5'11", Blue eyes, Brown hair that seems to always be standing up like an electric current is running through it. His outfit consists of a simple jeans/t-shirt combo, the shirt has a lightning bolt drawn on it and Preston also wears a pair of fingerless gloves and a pair of dark sunglasses, meant to obscure his face.
Powers/Skills: Can create miniature clouds which can then be used to fire off lightning bolts. Usually Preston would create a cloud around each hand an fire bolts from those, but the clouds don't necessarily have to be close to him. He sometimes uses them as a backdrop to himself while doing an evil laugh (something he is prone to do frequently). Preston can create clouds up to a range of about 100 metres away, but the farther they are, the less effective they tend to be.
History: Preston always wanted to be an actor. As a child he would always make distracting outbursts in class, which none of his teachers were happy with. As he grew older, he made many attempts to join theatre and improv groups, so he could show off his ability to act. Most times this ended with him being kicked out of the group, the common reason being that he was always overacting and ruining the scene for others and hogging attention. Preston assumed they were all just jealous and refused to dial it down. Another thing Preston always liked was villains. Especially those with style and a flair for the overdramatic. He saw supervillainy as the best possible outlet for his acting skills, where he knew they'd be appreciated.

After having been kicked out of yet another theatre group, Preston was walking home angered in the middle of a storm. He didn't know that high above him, "heroes" were combating with an alien ship (it was a royal escort ship that had taken a wrong turn at Uranus and one simple misunderstanding led to another...). A piece of the ship broke off an hurled towards Earth. Preston only saw it once it struck the ground in front of him, tearing up dirt in the park he was walking through. No one else was around so he went over to investigate. He touched it, seeing that it felt metallic in nature. At that moment, a large bolt of lightning appeared overhead and the ship piece acted as a lighting rod. The bolt struck the piece and then went right into Preston, throwing him backwards.

He awoke in a hospital sometime later. After about a day they let him go with a clean bill of health. It wasn't until later in his small apartment that sparks started to fly form his hands. He found, after a lot of time and effort that with concentration he could create miniature clouds that fired lightning. It was prefect, he even started making a costume for himself. The costume was made of gaudy fabrics and a large cape, however, since the recent overcrowding of heroes, he knew he'd have to draw less attention to himself (for the first time in his life). He decided to go with more plain looking clothes, but still painted a lightning bolt on his shirt, knowing that a symbol is a large part of the act.

Now that he had the clothes and the powers, all he needed was a chance to achieve his dream.
Seems good. Good power, but just one question: what is the range limit on the clouds' lightning bolts, or if there isn't a definite one, how much does the distance from the target affect the cloud?

Name: Lourens Tennant
Alias: Ferrous
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Appearance: Caucasian 5'8, Green eyes, Short rust brown hair, Wears a Black balaclava, with a red hard hat, brown boilersuit and black combat boots. Doesn't wear any gloves, else his power's won't work.
Powers/Skills:
Corrosion: Can corrode metals by touching them. The stronger and thinker the metal is, the longer it takes to corrode. Corrodes an area of 4 feet in radius from where he is touching. It will only corrode metals can be corroded.

Metal absorption: His body can change in to the metal he is touching, gaining the strength and weakness from it for a short while. Can't corrode when he has absorbed a metal.

Metal diet: Needs a steady diet of metals and normal human food.

History: Lourens comes from a family of construction workers and metal workers. All his live, he has lived with and around metals and learned everything about them form his family. Besides learning about metals, Lourens also grew with certain values. No showboating, do your job and don't complain.

After following his dad and becoming a construction worker, Lourens always had a job with the amount of collateral damage that the heroes and villains caused. One day while repairing a factory building that manufactured chemicals. One of the battles between a Supervillian, his henchman and some Superheroes, spilled on to the construction site. In the battle one of the vats that holds some of the chemicals, got damaged and started leaking. The Superheroes, too busy with the battle, didn't pay any attention to the leak. Seeing the hazard that the leak presented, some of the workers and Lourens tried to stem the leak. Having managed to put a sheet of metal over the leak, Lourens and another worker had to keep it steady while others welded it to the vat. A stray blast from one of the Super heroes, knocked ever one of their feet. This caused the sheet of metal to fall on the Lourens and drench him in the chemicals. Not noticing anything weird at the time, Lourens got back on to their feet and finished their job. With the battle done, one of the Superheroes got angry with them for repairing the leak. It was there job to do such things and it stole the lime light from him for them doing it.
Lourens was astonished by this. Why would he think that, that was why they were doing it.

They just did their job. Thinking nothing of it, Lourens just continued with his job. The next day, some of the metal plates that Lourens touched got corroded for no apparent reason. This happened on and off over the day, with the day ending with him turning in to the metal he was touching at the time. After a hour of walking around like that, Lourens turned back to normal. Freaked out about this, Lourens went home and told his family about it. They tried to help with it and to a degree they succeeded with giving him different things that see what happened to him or the things them self. Because of this, one his family members came got the idea about using his new abilities to sabotage the competition.
This worked for some time, until one of the Superheroes got suspicious. Tracking him done, the Superhero tried to take Lourens done. His family tried to help Lourens escape by delaying the Superhero, but this only caused the Superhero to turn on to his family. Injuring several and killing his dad. Having managed to evade the Superhero, Lourens swore revenge for the killing of his father on the Superhero.
Good character. How does his power interact with mercury?

The old RP did have a character with this power, so I'm not sure if that's an issue, but I wouldn't think it is. In any case, does he deal with guards to any extent other than sneaking past on solo jobs?

'Almost dying' would be Rugal's fault for being so squishy, not for lack of a healer.

Besides, he's better now, right?

Yes yes, but as I said it could be USEFUL, not that we needed one. Also, you have a good point. Rugal is REALLY squishy for no adequately explained reason.

I always just figured he was a Glass Cannon type. And I think that the Inferno is healer enough, especially if someone like the Stormer does the same thing.

"And in no way does my position as the least squishy influence that. Not even a little."


...

...

It is hard to disguise lots of hidden/white text as normal, and I can't figure out any way to do actual hidden text.

...

And he does wander off ahead. Squishy guys shouldn't scout.

Other than being invisible he's just a normal guy, albeit a rich and ruthless one. Guns, knives, garrotte wires, h has and uses them all (he did train with the military after all) - being invisible just makes using them much, much easier.
