NOTE: READ WHOLE THIIINGHello everybody! I am KevinDWolf93! I haven’t done much around here, but we can try and fix that here. Likewise with this RP board not getting much love, which is a crying shame. getting new people and concepts up seem to be a bit difficult, so the solution here is to sort of continue one of the older ones. A pre-check left me with my old cast seemingly ready to continue where we left off so I’m quite excited to see when that happens there and maybe it’ll even give the thing a good kick boost. I will say no for now at least, I’m not looking for new players, but depending on how well we do, I’ll see what can happen. If this does interest you, please stick around watch the show. I'm always interested with fresh meat.To the returning RPers welcome back my friends, to Reach Island. To bring you up to speed, this place was created in late 1901 by several engineers and entrepreneurs, led by noble's Joseph and Claudia Reach after their son Jacob began developing superhuman abilities. The artificial island was meant to be a home to them for escaping persecution for the phenomenon, however isolated incidents made it clear they would not be the only people facing down this problem. Forward to modern times, this island has become an expansive city inviting countless individuals to test their mettle and learn how to control or take advantage of the opportunities bound to arise. Superpowers and mutations have existed and molded this world for the past century So what’s your stance hero? s108.photobucket.com/user/frezinx/media/Map.png.html?sort=3&o=309With that introduction out of the way, here is the re-sign up sheet to Reach City: Year One. a world filled with superheroes, superzeroes, and all manner of superness ready to smack you in the face. The returning players only got a taste last time, so in the coming time I will summarize what’s happened so far(you probably won’t be rereading the thing) to make it sound interesting before throwing the players into the deep end. Now, to simplify things here is a slightly re-tooled sheet remind everybody who’s playing who. ex sheet: Code name: Super hero/villain name Alter ego: Born name. Civilian identity. *Note if identity is public or origin leaves one with only hero persona (ex.robot, undead,etc.) then only fill out which your character uses. Origin: Detail on how your powers were gained, what your motives are, etc. Why you are in the city *Something I thought to clear up from demos, for one reason or another your pc(s) are here on their own accord. WHy or how is up to you. Also you are not limited to any genre. If you can make it fit this template we shall consider oking it. Whether it be grizzled war veteran or alien. Were cool like that Affiliation: Hero, vigilante or villain. Public status: How your character is seen in the eyes of civilians, law enforcement, other heroes/villains, etc. -beginning hero hero archetypes are: *Goldenboy: Super-man type boyscout. Stand-up guy who does right thing, well known and respected. *Anti-hero: Gritty Punisher-like type. Take no prisoners, arrest(cops)/shoot(villains) on sight *Mystery Vigilante: Little bit of both; unpredictable. Public is mixed; a mystery to others. -If a villain: *Anti-villain: Not too evil. Possibly redeemable and sympathetic in eyes of others. Has standards and morals. *Psychopath: Insane or otherwise a complete monster. Often no remorse or reason for actions. Public enemy No. 1 to many. *Affibly Evil: Has personality. Could be a nice person, but when push comes to shove will do an evil deed if deemed necessary. Mixed opinion. *Note: Depending on choices in-game, it is possible to switch status or even affiliation through the course of the story. Could be something stretched over missions or arcs where the character changes (ex. Goldenboy to anti-hero or affibly evil: loses sense of moral or feels that their current actions won't get the job done); something more spontaneous; though overall character/personality is retained (ex.psychopath to anti-hero or vigilante: Character simply decides it’d be more interesting to be on the other side of the law and hunt "his own kind") or anything in between. Will be notified if near change, or an action has caused change. Try and PM me in advance if the change is planned. Do be consistent with characterization however, no matter your choice. Appearance: Facial features (hair or fur color,eye color,etc), build, etc. If you have a pic(whether drawing, rendering or a result of spending 20 minutes on heromachine 2.5) post it here Costume: Is it flashy spandex that appears out of your morpher or simple cameo painted body-armor and a ski mask. Explain in detail as well as any functions (This will be taken into account in equipment section). Pictures are welcome here as well. Primary power: Characters main schtick. (Usually) Offensive powers go here. Can pick most abilities that you can think of (some limits: ex. nothing high-level like reality warper or something similarly game-breaking). There will be certain limits to certain powers, of course. Keep in mind you are rookie heroes so complete mastery and control is not likely for "big powers". PM me beforehand for review. Secondary power: Other abilities and skills that character has or extra-effects that are resultant of the main powers. Other non combat or passive powers (ex. flight, x-ray vision, healing factor) go here as well *Note: Since the original sheet was...confusing, we will be modifying Superpowers wiki which is extremely comprehensive. Post the basics along with parameters and any variants listed you plan to use. if there are questions or I catch something we didn’t agree on we will be chatting over PM. Equipment:In three topics -armor:Protection against attacks and hazards (or lack therof). Can be anything as complex as magical runes or a nanosuit, to something simple like a kevlar vest or armor plate. PM me for review before posting -weapons:Guns, knives, swords, lasers, etc. What your character wields to deal damage. -other: Source of power, gadgets, anything that doesn’t fit above posts, etc. *** Ex. character;----------------------------- Code Name: The Albatross Alter Ego: Jennifer "Jenny" Cygnus Origin: Born in the mid-west, Jennifer Cygnus grew up with a secret; two indents in near her shoulder blades was a clear message that she wasn’t normal. Her family did their best to cover this up, but what they couldn't hide was was beneath the skin. What she was capable of was well beyond what any human could accomplish and it was noticed rather quickly among the locals. Just before they were sure it couldn't get much worse, Jenny sprouted wings right out of her back. Luckily for the family, before the media could completely explode they were approached by an associate to a group of individuals who specialized in dealing with these kinds of things. At age 12, Jenny was poised to be taught by the Guardians of the Earth, a superhero group bent on spreading awareness and fighting crime. After being helped in figuring out the limits of her power she was asked if she would like to follow the path of the sanctioned costumed hero. Having been indebted to this group, she agreed without a second thought and over the course of 20+ years she's become one of the most decorated superheroes to ever live. Currently, she has recently become the big boss of the Guardian's main HQ division. Public Status: Hero; Goldenboy Appearance: Human form Morphed form Costume: Tri kevlar/nomex weave bodysuit and under-armor with some hard plating armor. Primary Powers: *Avian Physiology- Wings, beak, eyes and feathers of a bird of prey *Enhanced strength- low grade Type I supernatural strength. Secondary Powers: *regenerative healing factor-expert level *Enhanced swordsmanship- superhuman skills mixed with training from expert swordsman have made Albatross a worthy foe when using a blade. Favors wakizashi and tanto blades/longswords. Equipment; -Armor: see costume -weapons: wakizashi blade, tanto blade, and a european longsword -other: N/A ------------------------------------- Hopefully I get you all back soon enough. Of course once that’s the case we will get further discussions and hopefully start right back on where we began. A short idea list of other things to come in the future; *RP tips- a little test thing to give the 101 to newcomers. *example-character’s: Npc’s incoming. *sum up- pretty much a fair explanation of what’s happened and where we will be picking up where we left off, it’s my intention anyways. More to come, but welcome back all. If anybody needs the refrences from the old place, these links appear to still be working; www.electricferret.com/forum/index.php/topic/22566-reach-city-year-one/www.electricferret.com/forum/index.php/topic/26986-reach-city-year-one-orientation/

@bbj: thanks for support. Im not sure what'll happen but if you're curious on reading...the old rp then i reccomend skipping a few pages. Honrstly it was a slow paced time for awhile, things only stopped being pure character stuff until well past halfway point.mind you a continuation would be in the middle of epic baytle(seriously like the last 5 pages are where the actions at). Good luck. deo: well as written above Im on the fence about new guys on the spot. At this moment Im just seeing who I can get back(most guys have re-contacted me) and that could lead to be as high as 8 full fledged rpers. But uh after talking about punctuality and post frequency once I have everyone Im not entirely opposed to seeing who wants in. Stick around, just its literally in the middle of a warzone. Of course with any luck this could spark more RPs on the way(even if I gotta make em).

This looks like a lot of fun and exciting. Once I get the time, I have an idea for my character.
Will we be using the stats point system from the previous version?

CODE NAMEPrometheus/Maria ORIGINSPUBLIC STATUSAnti-hero. PRIMARY POWERShape Shifting: PROMETHEUS' nano-lathe body can reshape itself at will, PROMETHEUS/Maria can assume any shape or appearance they choose to, through Maria's prior human psychology means that she finds it uncomfortable to change shape into more complex shapes. In addition to this, the nano-lathe can reshape parts of her body into simple weapons, namely cutting, stabbing and blunt instruments. Super Strength+Speed: PROMETHEUS/Maria's body can mimic muscle through the use of the nano-machines that make up their body to give them a body far stronger and faster than human being's could. (I dunno, Spiderman type strength and speeding car type speeds?) Super Durability: Much of this owes to the fact that their body is, for all intents and purposes, a blob of liquid. In the same way that punching a pool of water don't damage the water PROMETHEUS/Maria's body is greatly resilient to physical harm. When being attacked by energy weapons (lasers, plasma, or flamethrowers) PROMETHEUS protects the body by shedding off flakes of himself to radiate heat away. SECONDARY POWERS
360 vision: Maria's eyes are purely for her own psychological health. PROMETHEUS can "see" out of every surface of his body, making it impossible to sneak up on him. However he still has to "tell" Maria about things happening beyond her limited field of vision, meaning that if an ambush is quick enough Maria can still be caught off guard. Non-human body: These two do not have to follow any of the bodily functions of any living animal. Eating, sleeping, illness, fatigue and disease are non-concerns. Regeneration: With a supply of materials, preferably plastics and metals, PROMETHEUS/Maria can absorb the materials and repair and replace lost nano-machines. Organic materials, such as food and plants, contribute insignificant materials for self-repair.

Code Name: South Star Alter Ego: Orion Origin: Orion was not born like you or me. His life was given to him by the stars. Stardust is a natural byproduct of a star's death. Every so often stardust can transform into life. As a baby, Orion mysteriously appeared in the city. Government officials quickly arrived on the scene. The agent who found him didn't know what would become of the baby if they took him, so he took the child and went off the grid. The pair soon became homeless, since the agent couldn't do anything to alert the government to his activities, or the child he mysteriously had. Growing up Orion had no money and on most nights no shelter or food, but he had love and values. He was taught to cherish the gifts that were given to him, like his size, and use that size to protect - never harm. Growing older he began to develop powers that he didn't understand, and couldn't control. His father tried his best to help him, but things often went wrong. The worst incident happened when Orion's powers caused an explosion in the middle of the city. He didn't know how many were injured or worse, he didn't have time, as the police were quick to swarm the scene. Orion and his father tried to flee, but were eventually cornered. A second explosion of power brought a building down, leading to their presumed deaths. Orion survived, but his father did not. To atone for this, Orion has vowed to learn to control his power and use them for good. Affiliation: Hero. Public status: Goldenboy Appearance: Costume: Primary power: Telekinesis: Moving stuff with the power of his powers. Due to the nature of Orion's power, he needs to move his arms in order to effect other objects. Moving living things requires more concentration, and can be resisted if the target is stronger than him. Secondary power: Flight: The same force that allows him to levitate other objects, allows him to levitate his own body. Although Orion doesn't have super speed, he can fly much faster than his top running speed. Super Strength: Orion is incredibly strong naturally, able to lift upwards of 1,800 pounds and he can turn his Telekinetic powers inward to increase his strength level up to 8 tons. If he tries to charge his muscles any further, he runs the risk of overloading his muscles, causing them to be torn apart. Kinetic Charging: When making physical contact with an object, Orion can over load it with the same energy that powers his telekinesis. He can, theoretically, use this power on living being, but is scared to find out. Outer Space Adaptation: Orion's "hidden" power comes from being born in deep space. Not only can he survive in outer space, but when outside of the atmosphere, his power level increases, allowing him to move at Super Sonic speeds and multiplying his strength by ten. Equipment: None. Code Name: Red Dragon (2) Alter Ego: Travis Wolf Origin: Travis never knew his mother. Whenever he would ask, his dad would smile and say, "she was an angel." As Travis grew older, he began noticing his dad was around less and less. At a young age, Travis was basically left alone to take care of himself and his adopted brother. He resented his dad. And with no role models to look to, Travis began idolizing Super Heroes, in particular the man called Red Dragon; Heart City's most renown Superhero. A man with no powers of his own, a man whose heart, skill, and determination was more important to his success than the magical weapon he carried. Red Dragon had saved the world countless times where other, more powerful, heroes had failed. One day, his father didn't come home. It was nothing unusual, until the next when his dad still didn't come home. By the third day, Travis was furious with his dad. After a week, Travis was heartbroken. News finally came in the form of Daniel Thorn, a close friend of the family. Mr. Thorn was clearly grief stricken and was carrying some sort of suit. With tears in his eyes he showed Travis the blood stained costume of Red Dragon and revealed to Travis that, not only was his father Red Dragon, but he had been killed in action. It was nothing spectacular, a random thug and a lucky bullet did him in.
Travis reacted with a mix of emotions. Anger at his dad for keeping such a massive secret. Guilt for being so resentful his whole life. Pride that his father was, not only a super hero, but one of the greatest the world had ever known. But mostly sorrow, the way anyone would feel after losing their father.
As Travis and Mr. Thorn spoke, Travis learned that no one knew of Red Dragon's death. The bullet hit him, but he managed to finish the fight and leave the scene. Mr. Thorn stressed how important Red Dragon was to the city, and to the world. The name serves as an inspiration, a living symbol of courage and strength of will. It soon became clear to Travis what Mr. Thorn - whom Travis learned was a tailor to all Heart City's superheroes - was asking him, and what Travis must do. Travis agreed to take up the mantel of Red Dragon. Mr. Thorn made a new Red Dragon costume in just a couple of days, and Travis was off on patrol. One thing Travis's father had done in his life was make sure Travis knew how to fight. As Red Dragon, Travis managed to break up plenty of street crime and assure the city Red Dragon was still protecting them before they even worried he was gone. When it came to battling Super Villains, Travis was much less successful.
He survived the few encounters he had, but it became clear Travis needed more intensive Training. That's when Mr. Thorn suggested Reach City - an island City with such a strong presence of Supers, they have an entire Superhero training infrastructure and that most young heroes get their start in Reach. And as Travis relocates to a new City for training, his mission becomes to make sure the public still believes he is the most skilled swordsmen the world has known. Affiliation: Hero. Public status: Mystery Vigilante Appearance: Costume:
Primary power: Indomitable Will - The sword Travis uses as Red Dragon chooses it's wielder based on their will and fighting spirit. This is Travis's true power as it allows him to not only use his sword, but to continue fighting long after the point that his body should give out. Secondary power: Enhanced Swordsmanship - One part being trained from childhood and two parts carrying his magical sword combine to make Travis a master swordsman. His abilities far exceed his age, although with any normal blade Red Dragons's skills would be considered above average at best. Martial Arts Skill - Red Dragon II is an excellent fighter with or without a weapon, although he is far from being a master. His skills would be more than enough to defeat any average thug, but anyone with sufficient training or super powers could out match a weaponless Red Dragon. Enhanced Sarcasm - Call it a coping mechanism Travis developed, but Travis is rarely ever without a snarky quip, even in the most dire of situations. Travis, either intentionally or not, has mastered the ability to use this skill in order to keep his opponents off balance and distracted. Angel Physiology: Whenever Travis would ask about his mom, his dad would simply smile and say, "She was an angel." What Travis didn't know what he was being literal. In times of great need and emotional turmoil Travis's angelic half awakens, giving him the powers to heal himself and others, increasing his strength and speed 5 times over, making those he speaks to unable to lie, allowing him to speak any language including those of the animals, and generating wings of light on his back. Equipment: Weapon: MAGIC SWORD!!! - Red Dragon's sword has been passed down throughout the ages. It is carved from the fang of the last (known) dragon and embedded with the power to control the elements of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. It is unbreakable and can cut through anything, so long as the wielder has enough fighting spirit in his strike. The sword itself responds to the user's will power, and can be used by anyone so long as the weapon deems them worthy - although it rarely meets more than worthy user in a life time. Armor: Costume - As Red Dragon his costume is composed by kevlar and a little percentage of titanium; it's bullet-proof and resistant to various types of attack (explosions, impacts, falls, etc...). It's also flame-retarding and insulating. Although stylistic design choices leave parts exposed.
