Savor No Hero Discussion

Rules

1. Obvious rules: no godmodding or powerplaying (it may be difficult in this sort of RP. Just be reasonable); be respectful, don't break rules, respect KHV's rules, etc.
2. Romance is PG-13, swearing is allowed to the extent that KHV allows it.
3. All characters must be based off of an existing superhero-related character. You can use actual comic books, movies, non-comic book related movies (Hancock, for example), and video games assuming they have a superhero/villain-type character, or even other media.
4. You are allowed to base a character off of more than one character as long as one of them is the MAIN inspiration.
5. Inspirations (who you base your character(s) off of) can be in power-set, background, or anything similar. Doesn't have to be an exact copy.
6. That said, all characters are OCs based off of someone, so get creative and show some liberty with your character!
7. You can base your character off of someone who already is being used, but make them different than the previous character somehow.
8. This RPs version of mutants/metahumans are simply called 'Metas.'
9. You are allowed to use other dimensions, alien planets, the supernatural, etc. to make your character as long as its not too crazy. Keep in mind if you introduce one of these, anyone else can use it (and don't go making a last surviving character of a race just to avoid someone using a similar character).
10. There will be a team of superheroes (a la Avengers/Justice League) formed soon after the beginning, same for villains. Your characters are not required to join either of these.
11. I reserve the right to make more rules, but I will tell you in advance. I may break my own rules -or ask you to- for the sake of story. Break my rules without my permission and there will be consequences (CONSEQUENCES, I SAY).

Accepted Characters
Heroes​

Username: Boy Wonder
Alias: Recluse

Spoiler

Name: James Wayland
Alliance: Hero
Appearance/Age: 23
Costume: Click?
Background/Personality: James always knew that he would enlist; it was a family tradition. Hoping to make his father and grandfather proud, he enlisted into the army as soon as he could. Finishing his basic training with flying colors, it wasn't long before he was deployed across seas. One day, during what should have been a simple recon mission, his unit fell upon a group of insurgents hoping to turn the war using magic to draw upon the powers of nature. Unknowingly, his team engaged the group of would-be mages, throwing themselves into the ritual. Imbued with the "nature of a spider," James was one of many given beast-like powers. However, he blacked out during the battle and awoke to find his entire unit dead, as well as the insurgents. His superiors quickly jumped at the chance to weaponize him, outfitting him with gear and throwing him into the front lines. He fought with pride until he found himself fighting against the zombified remains of his fallen comrades, reanimated with their new powers but turned insane by another sect of mages from the same circle. After killing them for a second time, James went AWOL, traumatized by the experience. To honor his comrades, he decided to become a hero in the states (hoping also to avoid being arrested for desertion). He kept the gear given to him by the government, but modified it to fit a spider theme and was soon dubbed 'Recluse' by the media for his spider-like abilities and isolated-type personality.
James is serious, though a bit arrogant. He's not the type to follow orders anymore, nor is he willing to accept help. He prefers to be by himself. He has an unrivaled sense of duty to his fellow man.
Powers: Extreme agility, strength, speed, and reflexes due to his spider-powers.
Recluse can also crawl on surfaces.
Though he can't turn completely invisible, he is able to blend into his surroundings, similar to a chameleon.
He is able to send a toxic shock through his hands, which he calls his "Spider Bite." Though it isn't poisonous like the bite of his name-sake, it sends an extreme electric shock to his target, able to cause paralysis at its strongest.
Equipment: Given to him by the US Government, his 'hero suit' is made to allow his powers to function through it. The lens allows him to switch to night vision and infrared vision. His gloves are able to shoot a thin wire over extreme distances that allow him to swing over terrain as well as to keep enemies tied up (but he has to retract it as its limited). He keeps smoke pellets on him which he uses in combination with his camouflage to disappear more easily.

Username: Boy Wonder
Alias: Azazel (the Scapegoat)

Spoiler

Name: Cassidy 'Cass' Herondale
Alliance: Hero
Appearance/Age: 19/a few million
Costume: Click
Background/Personality: Millions of years ago, during the dawn of man, two angels descended from above with the task of watching over man. The two angels, desperately in love with each other, decided to stay on Earth with man, a crime heavily forbidden by their creator. The two angels, Azazel and Gadreel, hid among the primitive humans and attempted to blend in. They succeeded for many years until Gadreel decided to rebel against their creator and taught man the craft of weapons and warfare. This advancement quickly caught the eye of the other angels and they descended to retrieve and punish the lovers for their transgression. However, Azazel knew nothing of the plan and was abandoned by Gadreel, left to take the blame. Azazel was cast to Purgatory as punishment, forbidden to return to either Heaven or Earth. Thousands of years alone in Purgatory reflecting on the betrayal of its lover, Azazel became a being focused on vengeance. Escaping Purgatory by forsaking a physical form altogether, Azazel bound itself to a human boy during the Medieval Times. The boy and Azazel, through an uneasy alliance, became one and the boy was cursed with immortality, living forever only to house the rage of Azazel, the fallen angel. Now, in modern times, the boy -Cass- has yet to find Gadreel, though he has gotten close. Until he can exact Azazel's revenge, Cass spends his free time by enjoying the trivialities of society and using Azazel's abilities for his own entertainment.
Vain and apathetic, Cass sees no reason to entertain superheroics. He has seen civilizations rise and fall and the only things that survived were ideals and himself. However, he finds fighting supervillains fun as it allows him to vent out Azazel's frustration.
Powers: Merging with Azazel has turned Cass into a fallen-angel. He has been granted immortality, though he can still be killed through injury. Cass is able to transform into the blue-skinned, horned Azazel at will. As Azazel, he has the agility and strength of a demon and a healing factor to boot. He has the ability to breathe hell-fire and, as a fallen angel, is tuned to mystic forces. His most used power is the ability to summon weapons (though not firearms). He calls this ability "Gadreel's Gift."
Equipment: Gadreel's Gift allows him to summon weapons such as swords, axes, tridents, bows and arrows, spears, etc.

Villains​

Username: Boy Wonder
Name: Calais North

Spoiler

Alias: N/A
Alliance: Villain
Appearance/Age: 30
Costume: None
Background/Personality: Born to abusive parents, Calais was living on the streets in his early teens and fighting for his own survival. He learned easily enough that he could always be physically beaten but not outsmarted. He soon found himself in a street gang and before long, they answered to him. Brawn was never an issue to him; determination was. It was only a matter of years before Calais was able to use his smarts to turn into an entrepreneur, becoming one of the richest men in the country (and youngest). He been under investigation for several corrupt business practices, but never convicted. While supervising one of his company's experiments, Calais was caught in an incident that granted him his powers. Briefly considering a life of spandex and crime to turn compliment his business, but decided against it and keeps his public image of a professional -albeit shady- businessman, but he does not hide his powers. He has come at odds against many heroes, but has stood his ground and carefully portrayed the confrontations in his favor.
He's very well-spoken and polite. The epitome of determination, resolve, and ego, Calias is known for never backing down from anyone. His most trusted employees are members of his old street gang, to which he still has connections.
Powers: While experimenting with liquid nitrogen and how different kinds of radiation affect it, an explosion expose him to the radiated liquid nitrogen which altered his genetic make-up. He is able to reduce the heat in his surroundings dramatically, causing temperatures to drop instantly. He is able to freeze nearby objects and withstand extreme cold. He has been seen, at his apparent strongest, creating snow and ice sculptures. Though he can mostly control his power, he politely refuses to touch people as his skin always feels like "dry ice," though he will shake hands with gloves on "for professionalism."
He is extremely intelligent and tactful.
Equipment: Billions of dollars at his disposal as well as his company's resources.

Username: Boy Wonder
Alias: Wyvern

Spoiler

Name: David Porphura
Alliance: Villain
Appearance/Age: 21
Costume: None
Background/Personality: At age ten, David discovered that he was a Meta when he accidentally blew up his bicycle. The child of an abusive, alcoholic and single dad, David used his ability to brutally murder his father before escaping to the streets. He was discovered by Calais North, an up-and-coming businessman who introduced David to a street gang to escape the authorities. Idolizing North, David grew to lead the street gang -The Basilisks- in North's stead now serving as a liaison between North Enterprises and the Basilisks, which serve as "hired help" for North. Due to David's refusal to don a business suit and work in an office, he has politely refused employment at North's company, but has used North's resources, specifically his money, for the Basilisks. While North and David have been able to avoid the public knowing of how well-connected they are, North and David allow the public to believe that David has turned the Basilisks into the deadly street gang they are now. He is a wanted criminal; his followers have named him 'Wyvern,' a name he enjoys.
Powers: David's Meta powers manifest as kinetic energy which he can transfer into non-organic objects, causing them to explode. The size of the explosion depend on the amount of energy he puts into the object as well as the size of the object. He is able to transfer the energy through a conduit (if he's holding an object and the object is touching another object, he can cause the second object to explode).
He is well trained in martial arts, being tutored by experts hired by North at his request...tutors that he had no problem killing.
Equipment: Wyvern fights with a collapsible staff that he is well-versed in. He also uses the staff as his main conduit for his Meta powers.
