X-Men RP (Final X) Application thread ==CLOSED==

[Tyrannical]

Hello Escapists! I am new here, I've been RPing on other forums, but my friend said this place is pretty good, so let's give it a try.

Name:

Nationality:

Alias:

Race: Mutant (Homo Superior), Mutate, Canis Sapien, Alien (No Skrulls), Immortal (Homo Supreme). PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MUTANT AND MUTATE! A mutant is someone like Magneto, born with their powers, while a mutate is someone like Deadpool, who was given his powers through an external source (cybernetics, magic, etc.)

Age: THIS IS IMPORTANT. In this game, older people will have more control over their powers, but won't be as agile as younger people.

Height/Weight: Approximate, just so we know if we can do a "speedball special". (if you don't know it, look it up)

Powers/Talents: This includes special training as well as your mutant powers. Yes, you can have studied at Prof. X's school.

Weakness: Everyone has a weakness! Come on, share.

Weapons:

Equipment: Anything that you use outside of weaponry.

Appearance:

Clothing and costume: Two different things.

General Bio:

If I need to create a character for story, I will post a character sheet on that post. Here is the character I will be controlling throughout most of the story.

Name: Hector Fynn.

Nationality: Australian.

Alias: Riptide

Race: Mutant

Age: 21

Height/Weight: 6"2, 70 kilos (about 155 pounds)

Powers/Talents:
Water Manipulation, including water from the air.
Flight, by manipulating moisture in the air to hold him upwards.
Extremely fast swimming, by manipulating water.
Basic unarmed combat training.
Skilled Marksman.
Never needs to drink.
(Untrained, still cannot do all the time), freeze water, using claws, encasing himself in ice, etc.

Weakness: Separated from any liquid at all for about half an hour, he will die. Heat also makes him incredibly ill, and can cause him to go comatose.

Weapons: Carries a knife, but rarely uses it. Has been known to carry a 9mm pistol on occasion.

Equipment: 5 canteens strapped to his belt, which he uses for combat.

Appearance: Long fair hair, blue eyes, webbed fingers and toes (mutation), fairly well muscled, small frame.

Clothing: Stereotypical surfer guy clothes, boardshorts, tanktop, etc.

Costume: Light blue tank top style spandex with white X spreading across the entire shirt, including the back. Dark blue bandanna, mirror sunglasses. Specially cooled to prolong time he can stay in the sun.

Bio: Hector grew up in Sydney, and was always fond of water sports, competing in state swimming competitions from the age of 6. His mutant powers began to manifest themselves at the age of 13, when he accidentally flooded his whole school when he was trying to get water out of an out-of-order drinking fountain. After witnessing the X-Men battle the brotherhood on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, he followed them back to England and enrolled in Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Even now at the age of 21 he continues to study, searching for new ways to use his water powers. He is currently the leader of the X-Men team, Final X.

General Bio: as thomas was growing up he always wanted to be a supre hero and help those who needed his help. at age 14 thomas's powers start manifesting he was over joyed but his parents weren't as happy they said that he should be try and be 'normal' and not chase a stupid and dangers idea of being a super hero, at age 16 he ran away from home hoping that he could achieve his dream of being a superhero, he has spent the last 2 years living on the streets stealing just enough to get by in life while stopping any crime he has come across. Thomas during that time has gained some experience in fighting with a knive or bare hand but he mainly used his power to stop criminals, also not wanting to be identified by any one he only ever takes off his costume to clean himself or to treat wounds, he also learned how to treat wounds by not being willing to go to hospital as he doesn't want to give personal information leading to him having to learn how to treat his own wounds.

hope this is ok.

 

[Tyrannical]

Nuba and Shas, accepted.
Avoulence, please stick to the species I provided. Your power is strange and I don't think it'll work well. If you want to use that power, it's a little strangely phrased, so please simplify.
Also, your sheet is a big wall of text, hurts brain. Please separate text. Until then, denied.

 

[Tyrannical]

I'm interested and will be producing a sheet but there is so much more you need to explain.
For example I?m not that used to the universe so explaining the background of the world would be helpful.
Also while you don?t have to give away the story saying the basic set up and plot would really help attract people.
How much is this rp a part of the established cannon? For example are we just using the same basic set up or are we also using the characters?
Will people like me who don?t know anything about the X-Men be at much of a disadvantage? If so could you maybe say who someone of the important people are so we aren?t lost?
Anyway expect sheet soon.

In regards to the following questions:

1. This RP is staying as far away from the cannon as possible, obviously those characters exist but I'll be trying to limit interaction with them.
2. In the Marvel Universe, the X-Men mutants are split into different teams, such as X-Force, X-Men, New Mutants, X-Factor, etc. My character is the leader of the team, Final-X.
3. No, you shouldn't be at a disadvantage for not knowing much of the X-Men universe. A quick glance over a wikipedia page will bring you up to speed if you get lost, you may want to look up Mutant Utopia, as that is where we will be based.
4. I will say who important people are if we interact with them, I said that in the OP.

 

[TheIronRuler]

I'll think about applying.

I made my character more of a mercenary then a fellow mutant, but what the hell, it's fiction.

Spoiler: Admin

Name: Barry Levinski

Nationality: Israeli

Alias: Admin

Race: Mutate (Cybernetics)

Age: 32.

Height/Weight: 5'11'' , 180 pounds.

Powers/Talents: Electronic Manipulation
Hand to hand combat (Courtesy of Israeli IDF)
Weapons training (TAR-21, M16, side-arm handgun ? 9mm glock)
Programming expertise
Multi-LingualHe knows Hebrew, Arabic, English and Russian.

Weakness: Vulnerable while surfing the internet or attempting to access machinery and gateways, he's not very conscious to his surroundings and has to be hidden or protect in the process.

Weapons: TAR-21 with a dozen magazines. A sidearm, a 9mm glock with two clips.
Three combat knives hidden in his jacket and pants.

Equipment: His gloves that allow him to manipulate code and trigger electrical circuits on the fly.
His special spectacles that operate as a monitor so that he could see what he's doing in virtual space (When he's attempting to access systems, etc.)

Appearance: Barry is pale and chubby (though he also has some muscle mass, but the long nights communicating with his peers around the world don't leave him much room for exercise). He has broad shoulders and hairy hands and legs, his brown hair stretches down to his shoulders in a ponytail and his facial hair grows without any disturbance. He generally looks sloppy and dirty, but when he cleans up for a mission he can be looked at without suffering from any discomfort.

Clothing and costume:

Clothing ? A green shirt with long sleeves with his old unit tag sewn into its right shoulder. Long green cargo pants, a black leather belt, large black boots, leather gloves that cover his fingers, a plastic hat that can have cans of soda/beer attached to it (and drink from it). Sunglasses for venturing outside.

Costume ? White undershirt, a Green Jacket with various pockets (for ammunition cartridges, beer, etc.) that has the inscription on the front in Hebrew saying "Run faster" and an inscription on the back of it in Arabic, saying "If you?re reading this, you're dead". His special spectacles (Which looks like some sort of a 'virtual reality' player of sorts, cover his eyes and is attached with some electrical wiring to the machine strapped around his belt. He wears that same trousers and boots. His side arm is strapped to his right shin underneath his trousers and his TAR-21 is slung over his right shoulder.

General Bio: Barry was born to his parents, both Russian immigrants. When he was 17, he let the army know that he did not want to enlist and fight for his country in the field. He hacked into its database and attached a new parameter to his name, "Professional Hacker" and checked the box that excused him from service. The military saw the discrepancy in their information and the forced entry into their database, and arrested Barry a few months afterwards.

Instead of arresting him, Barry was offered a deal ? work for the Army in the new Cyber-warfare corps it had established a few years ago or go to trial on treason. Barry agreed and over the years he enlisted several hackers that in their teenage years were caught because of him and given the same offer. He propelled the corps into new heights and managed to develop some amazing offensive worms and viruses that would corrupt enemy systems. As a hobby he tried to develop a way in which he could access systems remotely, away from a computer. When the military got wind of his project they decided to reward their most esteemed soldier in the cyber-warfare corps and give him the funding he needed.

Barry developed a proto-type that will allow him to access machines using a special monitor he installed on a pair of glasses and two gloves. He was overjoyed with achievement but when he found out that the technology was too valuable to ever be recognized outside of the military he was outraged. It could only be used in special ops where mobility and technological superiority are of the utmost importance. Barry tried to avoid the field, the bullets and blood from the beginning and when his superiors announced he will be testing his technology shortly, he decided that he would leave.

His government considers him a deserter and a risk to the public safety. He offered his abilities to the highest bidder and accepted the offer Professor Xavier gave him, to work for his team.

[armcheesus]

Name: Alistor Woodall

Nationality: Australian

Alias: Eere

Race: Mutant (Homo Superior}

Age: 23

Height/Weight: 162 centimetres and 73 kilograms

Powers/Talents: He is able to phase his atoms to pass through solid matter and use this ability to become impervious to physical attacks such as gunshots for a short period of time. Allistor can also phase his atoms so light is not reflected or absorbed to become invisible. These powers however are weak and can not usually be maintained longer than 1 minute as Allistor can't breathe whilst he is using them. Any additional objects on his person such as clothing or weapons are not phased with him therefore rendering him defenceless after using his powers. He occasionally loses patches of hair or skin when unphasing leaving scarring. Allistor has gone through many breathing exercises to increase time he can phase.

Weaknesses: Limitations of powers, lack of offensive capabilities, fatigue after use of powers.

Weapons: Prefers short bladed weapons but due to powers he is forced to fight with anything he can find.

Appearance: Long brown hair with minor patches missing, Hazel eyes, no facial hair, small scarring all over body

Clothing and Costume: When he can choose Allistor wears a cheap basic T-shirt and cheap ripped jeans due to the likely-hood of losing them. His dream costume is full body light-weight suit with a purple vertical line going down it with a black and purple face mask covering the right half of his face.

Bio: Allistor grew up in urban Brisbane having a relatively normal and happy childhood. Witnessing various crimes throughout his life has taught him to not draw attention to himself and how to escape dangerous situations. Allistor's powers have come in handy on a few occasions most being attempted muggings. He has cut himself off from the mutant world not associating with known mutants or revealing himself or his powers to anybody. However he hates injustice and takes it upon himself to protect his friends and neighbours from dangerous people, he has killed 5 criminals who have assaulted or threatened people he knows and scares minor criminals from his neighbourhood using his powers. Allistor works part time as a teacher's aide and maintains a social life to create the image of a normal life and to hide suspicion of mutation. Allistor spends a large portion of his spare time trying to further control and even advance his powers.

Race: Mutant
Height/Weight: 5ft9in(175CM) 160(72.7KG)

Powers/Talents: Gravity Manipulation - mentally manipulates gravity enabling him to decrease or increase mass of anything within a set range (have yet to define a set range any input on a good range would be welcomed). With focus he can create a gravity field to stop bullets or pin foes by increasing their mass. He has on rare occasions created small blasts of concussive force and perform short range flight (more or less slowly jump/ascending).

Weaknesses: Lack of control, due to his age he has problems controlling his power under stress. The lack of control also means he can only affect so many targets without focusing making most of his attacks single target. He isn't immune to things like falling or being hit by something he is manipulating. His powers are physically and mentally straining on him and due to the strain has a very high metabolism.
He also learned basic self defense while attending the institute
adept hacker

Weapons:two expandable steel batons

Appearance: A very skinny bespectacled young man with hazel eyes, and short cut brown hair.

Clothing: Worn blue jeans that are torn up at the bottom, white or gray dress shirt (never tucked in)and a pair of beaten up converse

Costume: In the vein of the classic X-men uniform he wears a blue body suit with a prominent yellow X on the chest as well as yellow trimming and a matching jacket and a yellow belt with the red X-Men insignia on the front.

Bio: Born in a small New England town Simon lived a relatively privileged life until his mutant abilities became active. While being bullied by several older students at his school Simon suffered a panic attack triggering his powers. All four boys who were bullying Simon ended up in the ICU and the word of Simon's condition quickly spread. His parents were distraught upon learning their son's condition and were relieved when they were approached by a representative for Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Afterward his parents moved without his knowledge and Simon became a permanent member of the school.

 

[N_of_the_dead]

Sorry I thought when you said alien you meant we could make up our own.
Is that not what you meant?

I think he means alien races from the Marvel universe there are a lot
here's a link to help though I'm sure there are a few other off limit races http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alien_races_in_Marvel_Comics

Weaknesses: Lack of control, due to his age he has problems controlling his power under stress. The lack of control also means he has harder time picking out specific targets without focusing.

You can just call youself "Newton", for constantly breaking his laws.

 

[Tyrannical]

I will elaborate on the aliens issue, my bad guys.
You can be Kree, Shi-Ar, or Half-Skrull. The Shi-Ar are like humans but slightly more birdlike, some have wings, all can lift around a tonne, and they have much more stamina than a normal human. The Kree have hollow bones, and as such are quite fragile to blunt force.

The Kree are blue humans, they are a lot stronger all around that humans, however they breathe Nitrogen, and as such cannot survive in Earth atmosphere without a breathing formula or some kind of gas mask. There are also Pink Kree that are a lot stronger however are not as powerful (politically) as their blue brethren on their home planet. The Kree are very militaristic.

This is a the "Super Skrull" a genetically modified Skrull with the powers of the Fantastic Four, this is just a rough idea of what a Skrull looks like. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9e/Annihilation004_SKRULL_scaled_800.png

However, due to their upbringing I have decided that full Skrulls would be impossible to roleplay, so half skrulls will have to do.

A half-Skrull is very strong, and durable, they look like a human, but green, and may have Skrull ears and lines. Skrull themselves have no powers out of the ordinary, but if you want to throw in some backstory about being the son of a Super Skrull, that works.

All the above races have advanced technology, included lasers, cloaking, cybernetics, cyborg technology, etc, and the Kree have psionic (basically psychic powers) technology.

IronRuler, about your sheet. First and foremost, I love the character, but could you maybe add something to it? I mean to me he's just a highly trained combat hacker/engineer. It's accepted regardless, but it feels a little incomplete.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

OK let me try...

Spoiler: Darren Webster

Name: Darren Webster
Nationality: USA
Alias: Diablo

Powers: Enhanced reflexes, Above average strenght and speed, increased percepion, great aim with all ranged weapons, Military CQC fighting skills, has an unknown number of cyber weapons on his person, the only one he has gotten the hang so far of is his hidden wrist mounted Flametrowers.

Weaknesses: As a cyborg, he sufferes from the same issues robots have, EMP, reprograming Magnets, ETC. Also has little idea how to access his cyber weapons, which may lead to friendly fire.
Has standard human weakness otherwise.

Weapons: A custom scoped S&WM500 Revelover, a combat knife, hidden Flamethrowers and other unknown cyber weapons.

Equipment: Standard Covert-Ops gear, Smoke bombs, lockpick and so-on.

Bio: Born in New York, He joined the US Army to see the world and other idealistic nonsense. He was picked out for his keen aim by WEAPON-X (as you do) and was assigned as part of a rival project to the one that gave us Wolverine and Deadpool. They hoped to re-create the same results, but with robotics instead of genetics for better control and mass production. However, they got the EXACT same results, including the break-out and escape parts.
Despite being half machine, he still as a normal human mind and personality.
After discovering his cyber weapons,He freelanced for a while until he found the X-men. He signed up for the whole safety in numbers thing and to find out how to use his weapons safety.

Personality: Snide and sarcastic most of the time, but is still a good person, just pissed at the whole expermention thing, still getting used to his new "Friends". Does not trust Admin, due to fears of getting reprogramed and taken over.

What c'ya think?, Buzz me if you want me to change anything.

 

[TheIronRuler]

IronRuler, about your sheet. First and foremost, I love the character, but could you maybe add something to it? I mean to me he's just a highly trained combat hacker/engineer. It's accepted regardless, but it feels a little incomplete.

At first I thought of the same thing, but it seems too much to pack into once character.
A soldier, A hacker AND a mutant? It's like the Batman Syndrome some people suffer from - A millionare, A martial arts specialist, A detective, a crime fighter, A businesman...
You see where I'm going with this?
I do want to note that he can walk with one eye focused on operating machinery, like setting off cars and making them drive on their own towards his enemy, exploding electrical boxes, using radio antennas to explode the heads of everyone in the vicinity, etc. and the other eye on the target, in the real world. He could have his glove on his left hand and his glock on his right, fighting with bullets and technology.
