Mutagenesis: Dawn of a New Age (Sign up/OOC)

[Artemis]

Kamai looks good! I'll update the character list with her completed.

The effects of the radiation and how it exactly mutates genes and why some people are super and some are feral will all be explained pretty soon within the RP. Genetics, man. It's cray.

 

[Endless Warrior Sora]

Expect my temp tommorow! I'm almost done with it.

 

[Artemis]

YESH thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't wait to see it.

Name: Allison Cythe AKA “B”

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Appearance: Picture Allison stands at 5’9 with brown eyes with a brown complexion. She normally wears black hammer sweat pants a tight fitting shirt and a yellow leather jacket.

Her hair is always in a ponytail; she rarely ever lets it down. She has a tattoo under her arm of a half moon and a nose piercing.

Personality: Allison is a loner. She is logical in her thinking and always takes the road that benefits her. It is hard for her to become passionate for anything but it is not impossible. When she finds something worth fighting for, she does. She is trustworthy but only to a select few; she does not trust many, especially anyone who aligns themselves with Core. She is not a born leader, but was forced into the situation; she is very trusted by her gang and also feared. She is ruthless and goes to great measure to take care of someone if needs be. Though she is a ruthless leader, she takes care of the people that trust her. She does not take well to traitors or anyone that cause harm to her gang. She can seem cold to anyone that she does not know and often heartless to the citizens, but she does not care to bother with people due to her past.

Primary Power: Telekinesis
She has the ability to manipulate and move objects with her mind. She quickly went from controlling small objects around her to controlling Telekinetic Compression and Object Manipulation. She is still able to have the ability to movie objects but she has become more skilled in these. Though her telekinesis is advanced and she is constantly practicing, she still suffers from chronic fatigue and is not able to exert herself without experiencing severe headaches and risk blacking out. If she ever has a severe headache while using her powers, she loses control-causing items to move without her controlling and her telekinetic compression to run haywire.

Secondary Power: Enhanced Combat
She is unbelievably skilled in most known forms of fighting. She is advanced with martial arts and boxing. Along with being skilled in forms of fighting she is also superhumanly skilled in her weaponry. Her choice of weapon is a Glaive that she pilfered from an antique weapon shop. Though she is remarkably skilled, due to her condition of chronic fatigue risks her blacking out and having severe headaches

History: Allison was the second child out of four. Her mother and father were not wealthy but that were middle class income family who took care of their children. Allison was born and raised in the outskirts of Texas.

During her high school days she was kept under the care of her older brother Carey. They were only a year apart and many thought they were twins; they were very close. Allison went out of her way to always impress her brother in anything she did, whether it is her grades or her sports.

Allison was born in the middle of west Texas. She was the second child for her parents and was raised in a middle class income home where she was raised to value the hard work that went into providing for the family.

She had an older brother named Kasin, He was her best friend and through thick and thin they were always there for each other. Kasin taught Allison everything she knew about defending herself all the way to reading. He was an amazing older brother who she always looked up to.
When the Mutagensis came, she and her mother were at the grocery store. She remembers talking to her mother specifically about finding someone in college. The next thing she knew her mother was screaming for her to run. As her and her mother went back to their home, neither her father nor brother was there. Allison had to watch alone as the plaque that swiped the nation, took away her mother. Soon after her mother’s death, Allison began to realize she was on her own and she was also experiencing a change in her body.

She realized that she had the ability to move objects, but due to her lack of control it was straining on her body causing her to have chronic fatigue. Time had passed that she was left alone, waiting for her brother and father to return; neither one of them cam and eventually she had to leave her home and tried to find a place for food and shelter. As she traveled to the cities she realized CORE were searching for people with her abilities.

In quest to stay hidden, she would hide out in the old abandon buildings in the cities, defending herself from the horribly mutated people. That is where her and her brother found each other. Just like Allison, Kasin experienced a change, but though Allison had been lucky enough to escape CORE, her brother was not. Kasin would tell her stories about how him and his gang were taken and experimented on and how they escaped. She watched as her brother had nightmares and feared for his life and the gang of people he swore to protect.

Though he swore to protect them, he couldn’t. Allison watch as CORE operatives gunned down her brother and took his body. She wanted to scream out for him, but she couldn’t, in risk of being caught. In the absence of her brother the gang appointed Allison as their leader, and though she knew she could never fill his shoes she took on the role.
After watching the death of her brother and many members of his gang die, Allison quickly assumed the role of a b***h . She didn’t take anything from anybody and though she swore to her brother that she would take care of the people he cared about, she also had to take care of herself.

Extras: Allison is a complicated villain. She honor’s her promise to her brother to take care of his gang and protect them, but she also follows her own beat. She is not afraid to kill anybody that stands in her way and she will send you out into the wild if she does not know you. Some people say that she has no feelings, but she just does not choose to care about people if she doesn’t.

Umm, my primary power can do everything yours can and more. I'd advise you change it, pretty much everyone else's character is more powerful. Obviously can't and don't want to force you, but I really would advise it.

What's your point, Arg? Because you can preform telekinesis with your obvious power to do nearly anything (or grow to that level) that she should change her ability? That's like saying there might as well be no Batman cause Superman is around. To be honest, I doubt your could allow you to delve just as deep as she can in telekinetics. Understandably though her being weaker then most doesn't mean she should change. It is called development and growth. Also..she isn't the weakest. I am. Strip away Asura's gadgets and you have just a man....arguably a man that can take down a room of fully armed criminals. Also I'm probably the only person here who can't stop bullets with my mind or throw cars.

No need to get so hostile. I'm certain your character could take down hers pretty quickly. All I was doing was offering advice - she's gonna be pretty underpowered in this RP, even in comparison to you.

Nothing wrong with good, ol telekinesis. So it looks like object manipulation is the key here, is she proficient in the other aspects of telekinesis or just this and compression, as you mentioned? I'd like if you could add a little more to how her powers work; is she manipulating the energy within the object or the individual molecules of the whole thing? Where does the energy go? What's the most she can lift or the farthest she can toss something? Can she do multiple objects at once? Can this energy manipulation, if that's what you're going with, be transmitted into force fields or the like? I think it'd be cool if she was able to hover by manipulating the air molecules around her or something, but that's just a suggestion. Sorry if this looks like a lot, but they are just guiding questions.

She looks good though! I like that she is a gang leader, she's got some power in numbers behind her. Another question I had was with her background. I'm assuming Kasin is really her older brother, was Carey just a typo?

If she wants telekinesis, I have no problem with it. While she may be at a disadvantage because there will be several characters with various forms of energy manipulation, she can develop her powers to work in a different way if she chooses (which is advisable, of course). She should be able to develop more depth to her telekinesis, as King said, since she is focusing on that sole aspect of manipulation.

I haven't accepted the temp yet because I want some more explanations and expansions of her powers. I'm sure stripes will be able to make up for the fact somehow or another, but let's wait and see how Allison changes first. If there's still a gross unbalance of power, I'll think of a solution.

Name: Ethan King
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Male


Alignment: Hero , with a shiftable morality, based upon how the story goes. He’s a teenager, they’re easily influenced sometimes.


Appearance: Ethan has bronzed skin, being African American. Standing at an average height of 5’9” he isn’t that tall but isn’t short either. Ethan King is your typical high school teenager, and as such he dressed like one. His street clothes usually consist of a black beanie, a baseball T-shirt with a design on it and black sleeves, skinny jeans, and black, gold and white shoes. He also has two piercings in his right ear both outfitted with two huggie earrings.
As far as costumes go, Ethan has never really thought about one, instead he uses either a bulky hoodie, or a long jacket and a cap to cover his eyes. For the most part he does battle in street clothes.


Personality: Ethan is laid back for the most part. His calm relaxed nature can be mistaken for carefree, but this is not the case. He can be very alert, and aware of his surroundings and has been due to his conditions growing up. He’s easy to goof off instead of do actual work, being somewhat of a slacker, but he isn’t stupid, nor uneducated. He’s quick to throw a joke, and sometimes doesn’t realize it may be at someone else’s expense. However, he throws jokes as a defense mechanism as well, usually when he’s scared or backed into a corner. He is known t not think when situations get desparate and that can lead to mistakes, or acting without thinking.


Primary Power: Crystallization/Crystallokinesis- Ethan is able to generate and manipulate crystals (or crystal like substances) at will, which allows him to be open to an array of offensive and defensive capabilities. This works by Ethan (who probably doesn’t know) rapidly causing nucleation (the primary step in nucleation) and crystal growth beyond a rate possible by even geological standards. In addition, Ethan is able to manipulate the crystal formation, controlling the shape a crystal enters as it grows. However, making specific shapes takes effort. The lazy way is allowing it to take natural shape while speeding up the process.

Ethan can crystallize almost any substance that is able to do so. For example, water, sugar, honey, blood, earth (stalagmites and stalacites are a form of crystallization), etc. And manipulate it almost indefinitely. This can take shape for example, on humid days he can crystallize the moisture in the air and launch those as projectiles. Or he can create stalagmites and stalagtites in areas where there is earth and rock under the footing (for example this ability will almost never work inside a building, may work in the streets, but is most useful in say, a park). This ability can also be used internally, as long as Ethan has an idea of what exactly it is he is crystallizing. If he isn’t careful, he can risk accidentally crystallizing an artery, or an important internal organ. This can be manifested (typically), by crstallizing blood running through his veins. He must first crystallize it while inside his body (in order to give it properties of molecules he can kinetically control. He is not a blood manipulator, but a manipulator of crystals.) and then project this outside of his body, obviously piercing the skin, and depending on the size of the crystal, can be very painful. This can work in many fashions, Ethan can crystallize the blood from cuts (whether inflicted, or self made) and manipulate them to protrude, the longer the distance, the more effort it’ll take from him, and the more blood it will require. This can cause him to exert himself quickly and pass out or die due to loss of blood. This can take shape in the form of spikes of blood protruding from his knuckles (which he can use both as fisticuffs or projectiles) or in virtually any other place in his body. He can create multiple small crystal spikes to allow him to be able to climb and ascend buildings and objects. He can crystallize clouds, and make them fall as shards of crystal, crystallize large bodies of water into ice as well as creating an armor for himself by crystallizing large bodies of water as they fall upon him, (An act that will take much effort and concentration in his beginning stages.), crystallizing blood and water in other people (his morality absolutely forbids this), etc etc. In addition, Ethan can completely crystallize blood within body parts to make for a solid “under armor” if you will. This use of his abilities can be either very beneficial or highly fatal. While this could coat Ethan from damages such as cuts, attempts at bullet wounds, and most manner of physical attack, as well as strengthen his own physical abilities, such as punching (with the power to punch virtually through solid walls) and legs powerful enough to run long distances or make incredible jumps, he also loses feeling and blood flow to his body and must ensure blood is pumping to his heart, as well as avoiding crystallizing vital organs. In addition, any crystals weakness is a sound at a high enough frequency to shatter it, being a Mutagen has allowed his blood to become increasingly more durable while crystallized (as that’s his ability) but if one finds the proper frequency to shatter the crystallization while using this ability, Ethan is likely to virtually lose that limb. Ethan can also crush crystals into smaller tiny crystals and project those. (this is used as mostly a blinding technique when starting. Almost like throwing dirt in the eyes, except he’s throwing crystal dust with small crystals in it. This can be devastating in combination with a mastery of his abilities for various reasons.) Finally, while Ethan cannot heal, or possess a healing factor, he can crystallize wounds shut (which works almost like cauterization, to stop people from bleeding out). This does not alleviate pain, nor does it cause the wound to recover quicker, it is simply a method to prevent further damage.

Ethan’s powers more on a “give take/equivalent exchange” scenario. The smaller item that’s being crystallized, the less effort it takes to crystallize it and vice versa. Ethan can crystallize at alarmingly quick rates, almost instantly for crystallizing small to semi-medium objects (For example, crystallizing the water in a cup will take no more than a moment or two). It also takes more effort to crystallize into shapes. His powers work as a muscle, and Ethan can gradually master his abilities through repeated use. When it is said it takes concentration and effort from Ethan’s part, it means not only mentally but physically. The more Ethan overexerts his abilities, the more tired and fatigued he becomes. He’ll run slower, react slower, even crystallization may occur at slower times. Sometimes, his builds may shatter as he makes them or become very brittle. He will begin focusing less on making crystals and more on the stress to his body. Wounds may open back up, crystallization may revert.

Ethan is currently only limited to liquids and objects that are already crystallized or able to do so. Generating his own crystals from scratch is at a level far beyond his beginning status of ability. Even so, he can tell through the effort it takes him to generate and sustain an organic crystal, it will not sustain very long. When generating an organic crystal, the harder he wants the crystal to be, the more effort that is required. So, in order to get the hardness of say, a diamond organically (without the help of natural crystallization in objects that can crystallize. Purely generating a crystal which will be made of a property unique to Ethan.) It would require at least an 45 minutes to an hour to generate at Ethan’s current level of mastery. However, when he can produce his own crystals, they are his to manipulate entirely and are placed at a higher strength on the Mohs Scale than diamonds. Mastery of this ability can lead to devastating results.

Secondary Power: Enhanced Condition
Ethan is able to perform physical actions beyond normal human standards. He can leap off of large buildings and land without much difficulty or injury. His body is more durable to damage sustained. (For example he can be thrown through multiple buildings without causing death. It’ll just hurt a lot.) Enhanced condition by no means is superhuman. He still takes physical damage and can die like most people, it just will take more effort and greater damage to do so.

Weapons: Ethan can construct crystals in a weapon’s shape if he so chooses.

History:

Extras: Ethan keeps Candy Bars, or Cookies around him as well as Orange Juice or a sweetened beverage. This is because during fights he may lose large amounts of blood if he chooses to do so in battle. Therefore, (much like a blood drive) he must keep his blood flowing and replenished if he is to continue fighting. This may cause him to eat during a fight, a small quirk he might posses.
(Fun Fact: During my research for powers I looked up “Crystal Strength on google and it gave me “Pokemon wiki: How Do I get the TM Stength in Crystal Version?”)

Dino-soars

The only thing I'm missing is history and links to his clothing. Once I get my writing groove completely back I'll see if i can make his personality and appearance more distinctive, original, and detailed. Let me know how the powers are, I kinda went all out (sort of) so let me know if I need to reel it in.

This can work in many fashions, Ethan can crystallize the blood from cuts (whether inflicted, or self made) and manipulate them to protrude, the longer the distance, the more effort it’ll take from him, and the more blood it will require. This can cause him to exert himself quickly and pass out or die due to loss of blood. This can take shape in the form of spikes of blood protruding from his knuckles (which he can use both as fisticuffs or projectiles) or in virtually any other place in his body. He can create multiple small crystal spikes to allow him to be able to climb and ascend buildings and objects. He can crystallize clouds, and make them fall as shards of crystal, crystallize large bodies of water into ice as well as creating an armor for himself by crystallizing large bodies of water as they fall upon him, (An act that will take much effort and concentration in his beginning stages.), crystallizing blood and water in other people (his morality absolutely forbids this), etc etc. In addition, Ethan can completely crystallize blood within body parts to make for a solid “under armor” if you will. This use of his abilities can be either very beneficial or highly fatal. While this could coat Ethan from damages such as cuts, attempts at bullet wounds, and most manner of physical attack, as well as strengthen his own physical abilities, such as punching (with the power to punch virtually through solid walls) and legs powerful enough to run long distances or make incredible jumps, he also loses feeling and blood flow to his body and must ensure blood is pumping to his heart, as well as avoiding crystallizing vital organs. In addition, any crystals weakness is a sound at a high enough frequency to shatter it, being a Mutagen has allowed his blood to become increasingly more durable while crystallized (as that’s his ability) but if one finds the proper frequency to shatter the crystallization while using this ability, Ethan is likely to virtually lose that limb. Ethan can also crush crystals into smaller tiny crystals and project those. (this is used as mostly a blinding technique when starting. Almost like throwing dirt in the eyes, except he’s throwing crystal dust with small crystals in it. This can be devastating in combination with a mastery of his abilities for various reasons.) Finally, while Ethan cannot heal, or possess a healing factor, he can crystallize wounds shut (which works almost like cauterization, to stop people from bleeding out). This does not alleviate pain, nor does it cause the wound to recover quicker, it is simply a method to prevent further damage.

Ethan’s powers more on a “give take/equivalent exchange” scenario. The smaller item that’s being crystallized, the less effort it takes to crystallize it and vice versa. Ethan can crystallize at alarmingly quick rates, almost instantly for crystallizing small to semi-medium objects (For example, crystallizing the water in a cup will take no more than a moment or two). It also takes more effort to crystallize into shapes. His powers work as a muscle, and Ethan can gradually master his abilities through repeated use. When it is said it takes concentration and effort from Ethan’s part, it means not only mentally but physically. The more Ethan overexerts his abilities, the more tired and fatigued he becomes. He’ll run slower, react slower, even crystallization may occur at slower times. Sometimes, his builds may shatter as he makes them or become very brittle. He will begin focusing less on making crystals and more on the stress to his body. Wounds may open back up, crystallization may revert.

Ethan is currently only limited to liquids and objects that are already crystallized or able to do so. Generating his own crystals from scratch is at a level far beyond his beginning status of ability. Even so, he can tell through the effort it takes him to generate and sustain an organic crystal, it will not sustain very long. When generating an organic crystal, the harder he wants the crystal to be, the more effort that is required. So, in order to get the hardness of say, a diamond organically (without the help of natural crystallization in objects that can crystallize. Purely generating a crystal which will be made of a property unique to Ethan.) It would require at least an 45 minutes to an hour to generate at Ethan’s current level of mastery. However, when he can produce his own crystals, they are his to manipulate entirely and are placed at a higher strength on the Mohs Scale than diamonds. Mastery of this ability can lead to devastating results.

Secondary Power: Enhanced Condition
Ethan is able to perform physical actions beyond normal human standards. He can leap off of large buildings and land without much difficulty or injury. His body is more durable to damage sustained. (For example he can be thrown through multiple buildings without causing death. It’ll just hurt a lot.) Enhanced condition by no means is superhuman. He still takes physical damage and can die like most people, it just will take more effort and greater damage to do so.

Weapons: Ethan can construct crystals in a weapon’s shape if he so chooses.

History:

Extras: Ethan keeps Candy Bars, or Cookies around him as well as Orange Juice or a sweetened beverage. This is because during fights he may lose large amounts of blood if he chooses to do so in battle. Therefore, (much like a blood drive) he must keep his blood flowing and replenished if he is to continue fighting. This may cause him to eat during a fight, a small quirk he might posses.

The only thing I'm missing is history and links to his clothing. Once I get my writing groove completely back I'll see if i can make his personality and appearance more distinctive, original, and detailed. Let me know how the powers are, I kinda went all out (sort of) so let me know if I need to reel it in.

Honestly, I really like the guy's primary power. Quite unique and distinctive. His secondary seems excessive to me, but that's not for me to decide.

 

[Artemis]

I'm sorry I haven't finished the history section of my template. I'm just in a large writer's block right now.

It's all good, I'm not in a terrible hurry. I want people's characters the best they can make them, so if that takes time that's fine. We still need a lot more people so you're fine to take a while. Also, D&D notes, I'm almost done, I've just been busy because I ended my huge story arc and am finally done DMing until fall.

Spoiler Show

Name: Ethan King
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Male


Alignment: Hero , with a shiftable morality, based upon how the story goes. He’s a teenager, they’re easily influenced sometimes.


Appearance: Ethan has bronzed skin, being African American. Standing at an average height of 5’9” he isn’t that tall but isn’t short either. Ethan King is your typical high school teenager, and as such he dressed like one. His street clothes usually consist of a black beanie, a baseball T-shirt with a design on it and black sleeves, skinny jeans, and black, gold and white shoes. He also has two piercings in his right ear both outfitted with two huggie earrings.
As far as costumes go, Ethan has never really thought about one, instead he uses either a bulky hoodie, or a long jacket and a cap to cover his eyes. For the most part he does battle in street clothes.


Personality: Ethan is laid back for the most part. His calm relaxed nature can be mistaken for carefree, but this is not the case. He can be very alert, and aware of his surroundings and has been due to his conditions growing up. He’s easy to goof off instead of do actual work, being somewhat of a slacker, but he isn’t stupid, nor uneducated. He’s quick to throw a joke, and sometimes doesn’t realize it may be at someone else’s expense. However, he throws jokes as a defense mechanism as well, usually when he’s scared or backed into a corner. He is known t not think when situations get desparate and that can lead to mistakes, or acting without thinking.


Primary Power: Crystallization/Crystallokinesis- Ethan is able to generate and manipulate crystals (or crystal like substances) at will, which allows him to be open to an array of offensive and defensive capabilities. This works by Ethan (who probably doesn’t know) rapidly causing nucleation (the primary step in nucleation) and crystal growth beyond a rate possible by even geological standards. In addition, Ethan is able to manipulate the crystal formation, controlling the shape a crystal enters as it grows. However, making specific shapes takes effort. The lazy way is allowing it to take natural shape while speeding up the process.

Ethan can crystallize almost any substance that is able to do so. For example, water, sugar, honey, blood, earth (stalagmites and stalacites are a form of crystallization), etc. And manipulate it almost indefinitely. This can take shape for example, on humid days he can crystallize the moisture in the air and launch those as projectiles. Or he can create stalagmites and stalagtites in areas where there is earth and rock under the footing (for example this ability will almost never work inside a building, may work in the streets, but is most useful in say, a park). This ability can also be used internally, as long as Ethan has an idea of what exactly it is he is crystallizing. If he isn’t careful, he can risk accidentally crystallizing an artery, or an important internal organ. This can be manifested (typically), by crstallizing blood running through his veins. He must first crystallize it while inside his body (in order to give it properties of molecules he can kinetically control. He is not a blood manipulator, but a manipulator of crystals.) and then project this outside of his body, obviously piercing the skin, and depending on the size of the crystal, can be very painful. This can work in many fashions, Ethan can crystallize the blood from cuts (whether inflicted, or self made) and manipulate them to protrude, the longer the distance, the more effort it’ll take from him, and the more blood it will require. This can cause him to exert himself quickly and pass out or die due to loss of blood. This can take shape in the form of spikes of blood protruding from his knuckles (which he can use both as fisticuffs or projectiles) or in virtually any other place in his body.

Let me know how the powers are, I kinda went all out (sort of) so let me know if I need to reel it in.

I like him, a lot. I really respect all the effort you put into the character and his powers. So he absolutely will not crystallize blood or water or other fluids in other humans because of morality? Just wanted to be sure, that's a good handicap to have for him. He's fucking awesome. Flesh him out whenever you can, like I said with King Naruto you can take your time.

I think everything looks golden so far. I would appreciate if you were able to add more to your secondary power, just how much can he take before he would die. He's cool to be thrown through things without dying, but I'd say the max he could jump from without accruing serious injury would be three or four stories, maybe a max of five.

I also like the pokemon relation there ^^

 

[Endless Warrior Sora]

awww why thank youuu :] It was a lot of fun making him. I appreciate his feedback xD And no he will not crystalize other humans fluids due to his morality. He finds that kinda sadistic and i want him to start off a good guy. Yeahhh the secondary does need more expansion, i was kinda thinking like how Cole's condition is enhanced in inFamous for that one. But yeah I'll get to it, I like you guidelines and more than likely will include them.

Expect it to be finished soon, preferably I can finish it before the week is out :]

 

[Artemis]

Start off as a good guy, eh? So he could be shifting later... *evil cackles*

I love inFamous too. I can't wait to see the finished product!

 

[arcticfox8]

I liek superheroes.

I'm working on something for this because superheroes are coolio.

 

[Klom89]

Artemis, what's your policy on multiple characters? I think I asked this already, but just in case. Villains are outnumbered. They need more love.....But they gotta pay. XD

I love inFAMOUS so much. I can only imagine what Second Son's gonna be like. Apparently, The new MC has some of Nix's powers, like turning into smoke and stuff. A bit Prototype-y, but that's just me.

I don't really have a character limit, but I'd say two is probably good unless you have the most intense burning desire to make a third. It's just more responsibility. Another villain would be excellent though, we really need more!

I'm so excited for Second Son too. What I've seen so far gets me stoked, but I really haven't delved too deeply into all the information on it yet.

[Klom89]

I offer up the souls of the people who keep offering up souls.

Name: Discarded his name ages ago, only goes by his A.K.A., Mode.

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Alignment: Neutral Evil or Chaotic Neutral. Interpret as you will.

Appearance: http://oi40.tinypic.com/20nytw.jpg

Personality: Mode is the embodiment of "Schadenfreude." He gains pleasure from the suffering of others. He does not discriminate his targets nor does he single any of them out. The entire world is one massive enemy that should, and can, be wiped out. This evil manifests itself in battle. He will degrade the opponent, over-use killing techniques, and strike any when they are down.

Philosophically, Mode takes the idea of "Natural Selection" to heart. The strong devour the weak. To him, compassion is useless sentiment that degrades the human psyche. Only through trial and hardship can a sentient being develop and evolve to stave off degradation.

He sees Supers as a superior race. He uses derogatory terms (self-made) for non-Supers, such as "normies" and "Homo Inferior." While he isn't a "conquer the world" type, he is more than willing to follow (or at least hasten) humanity's downfall. This has resulted in a slight respect for the Afflicted.

Despite his villainous approach to the world, he has a warped code of honor. He cannot be bribed or set up to betray another employer. Any who betray him are retaliated against. He also has brief bouts of clarity in which he displays rather soft emotions. While he won't exactly be the type to hold your hand for the loss of a loved one, he will show minor sympathy for those under his banner. (If he ever ends up with anyone joining him) This doesn't make him any less of a sadist, though it shows he isn't emotionally inept. Scientists theorize that he may suffer from mental instability, (potentially Schizophrenia) which explains these sudden bouts of vulnerability.

His weakness is his mindset. His urge to make others suffer make him Public Enemy #1 to pretty much anyone who doesn't think as he does. Needless to say, this doesn't make him many friends.

Primary Power: Super Strength
Mode has immense physical strength stemming from experiments performed on him, as well as the radiation released from the Blast. During his tenure, the drugs he had been given (See his History) granted him brief bouts of enhanced strength. However, The Blast's radiation has combined with what little side-effects of the drug had remained. This has completely re-written his DNA sequences, allowing his body to output extraordinary amounts of strength and exert mass amounts of energy.

The limits to his strength end at skyscrapers and buildings. While he can lift cars and tanks with no effort, larger structures such as skyscrapers are beyond his weight limit. A tactic he loves is demolishing a massive structure to the size of his weight limit, all the while the debris blinding the enemy.

As a side-effect of his abilities, he exerts much more energy than most people. This makes prolonged skirmishes a no-go. He is also extremely vulnerable to fatigue and exhaustion.



Secondary Power: Predatory Instincts

Mode possesses an intense biological knowledge of hunting, tracking, and predicting the moves of his enemies. This is implied to be a mixture of biological and external factors. As such, he hunts for his food, and uses these skills to take down more logical opponents and minor Afflicted.

Army Training

Being a former soldier, Mode is well-versed in basic evasion and take-down tactics, as well as Ju-Jitsu grappling and boxing.

Weapons: Mode uses his fists in battle, covered with spiked gloves. When weaponizing is necessary, he will usually use objects, or even people within the immediate vicinity.

History: Mode was formerly a member of the United States Army. He was notorious for his tendency to switch from a calm demeanor to a dark, sadistic persona. This made his squad tense whenever interrogations were necessary, because seven times out of ten, he would end up killing the enemy, rather than doing his job. This earned him the nickname "Mode." (As in switching between "modes" of personality, if you will) After a year of the carnage, he was dishonorably discharged and barred from ever applying again.

However, the Secret Service took interest in Mode and asked him to volunteer for an experimental drug in exchange for amnesty for his past mis-deeds. The experiment was a success.....Too much of a success. Mode began to become belligerent. The strength gained from the drug contributed to his ego. Scientists began to go "missing," and what should've been basic tests turned into ordeals. The drug required constant surveillance to analyze, and this eventually led to him being incarcerated within the facility, for fear of what public exposure, much less conventional combat use, would entail. Mode was locked up within a special tube, and all doses and physical instances of the drug were disposed of.

Then the blast hit.

The bunker used by the Service was protected from the physical effects of the blast, but the radiation quickly seeped in. As time marched on, the scientists were prevented from leaving the project. The radiation mounted and built up within the facility. The team was wiped out or infected. The protections of the facility rotted with time and less man-power. The radiation even made it into Mode's tube. The radiation entered Mode's body through wires and holes within the containment tube. It began re-writing DNA sequences and changing biological prowess. His entire body was melded into something superior. After a year of imprisonment, Mode broke out of the facility.

Mode clawed his way through scientist, Afflicted, and soldier, all for the sake of freedom. As he open the doors to the world after the longest time, it all dawned on him. The blast was a catalyst. An omen. Humanity was finished. If the blast made him into what he was, who knows what it did to others? Humanity's time was over.

There was a new food chain.

Extras: N/A

I offer the soul of the Pharaoh Atem, because spoiler alert.



Name: Michael Jackson(not that one) AKA, Jackal

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Alignment: Unaligned

Appearance: He's covered from head to toe in clothing because the virus covered his body in weird scars. He wears black converse, the bottom part of an orange prison uniform, a gray shirt, a green hoodie, black gloves, and a jack-o'-lantern mask.

Personality: At first glance he seems carefree, but he's actually very disturbed. Ever since the mutagenesis outbreak his life hasn't been the same. He has his morals about killing and all that but he realizes he has to sometimes if he wants to help take down CORE. He is still a child and that limits him, but also inspires him to do better.

Primary Power:

Secondary Power:

Weapons:

History: He was born into a simple family. He was an only child, born to a policeman and a female nurse. He lived in what could be considered the outer "ghetto" of a large city. But him and his family volunteered at the orphanage inside the city and made friends with them, kinda becoming like family. They would've adopted but they couldn't support them all on their pay. Then the asteroids hit. The virus spread. It hit the city hard. Anything on the outside of the city was shut off to the inside, in an attempt to keep the virus spreading, leaving his family safe but his extended family on the other side. Nobody remembers the name of this city, but its one of the many cities now known as Broken Cities. They're divided into poverty struck ghettos, sometimes a nice place with mansions and high living costs, but there's always the section filled with zombies, starving and struggling survivors, and the occasional super that is usually shot down if they get to the border. Since his dad was one of the few policeman left CORE took him in as an agent. His mom worked to find a cure since there were so few people left with medical knowledge left. One day when studying some infected one broke loose and went on a rampage. Many were killed, including Jackal's mom. He's been traumatized since, but not as bad as his dad. They blame CORE for forcing her to work around those monsters, even though they know she'd say she was happy to do it after she came home exhausted every night from work. There was no funeral, they couldn't afford it. The only reason they knew it was her body was because she was wearing her wedding ring. Her body was unrecognizable. You can imagine the thoughts going through Jackal's head when he gets the virus. He was afraid he would turn and do the same thing to his dad. His dad didn't turn him in to CORE because he wanted his son's last moments to be with his dad, not being poked and prodded by scientists. And at least that way if he came out of it as a super he would be allowed to live. He worked there he knew CORE's processes.

I'll finish this up later because I can.
