Intended Roles of Characters

[Thevshi]

Over all Velocity's looks very good, just some of the last part makes her sound somewhat like a, well, novice heroine. She has actually been using her powers for three years (working her way up to more more dangerous supervillains within the last year or so).

But...I guess it can be said that calling her nearly "omni-present" does sort of address that :)

[Vaalus]

I like the description for the Norseman. :D

[Shadowboxer]

Nice work, Dr. Archeville! Nightrival and Twister are spot on. I think his dedication borders on the obsessive but he's not there yet. In time, maybe.

[Master_Pelle]

Hrrmmm... "Aspiring Paragon of Criminals"? "Paragon-in-the-Works for Criminals"?

Hmm... I think that "Paragon-in-the-Works for Criminals" seem to fit in his description.

[Dr Archeville]

Hmm... I think that "Paragon-in-the-Works for Criminals" seem to fit in his description.

Groovy. 8-)

[Heridfel]

Is that public knowledge, though? I tried listing what's public knowledge & what folks would assume. Icarus is the name of Daedalus' son, though the guy operating as Daedalus is believed to be the son of the guy who went by the name Daedalus back in the 40s and 50s (since Daedalus' immortality isn't publicly known). Add in the fact Icarus now looks like Daedalus, and IMO it's not too out there to have folks assume he's some relation to the Greek inventor-hero.

If Herid wants it changed, though, it's entirely his right to do so.

I don't mind that part, but I don't think I'd use the word evil to describe Heavy/Icarus. It's a little strong for him. I'd certainly call him criminal, and maybe villainous, but he's more selfish than evil. It's a question of what he's willing to do to in order to get what he wants.

[Dr Archeville]

"Villainous" sounds good.

[Veiled Malice]

Hey, where's Nanowire? The first villain on the list doesn't get a writeup? :)

[Heridfel]

My guess is he figured that everybody knew us, seeing as we're old as dirt in this game. Of course, the other possibility is that he couldn't write anything for us because our characters are far, far too complex to reduce to only a couple lines. :P

[Barnum]

Looks great! Nice work.

[Dr Archeville]

My guess is he figured that everybody knew us, seeing as we're old as dirt in this game. Of course, the other possibility is that he couldn't write anything for us because our characters are far, far too complex to reduce to only a couple lines.

Yeah, we'll go with the latter one (and not me missing the character due to having a brain-fart). Darn you and your complex, multidimensional characters!!! *shakes tiny fist*

So, VM, what would you like for Nanowire's entry?

[Heritage]

I'm very happy with the description of both my characters; Grim certainly is a 'tricky one'! :D

[Cotoloti]

... I've just realized I'm a sidekick. *sigh*

[Heritage]

... I've just realized I'm a sidekick. *sigh*

Hey, there is no shame in being a sidekick; you get to ride in the sidecar and everything! :D

[Cotoloti]

I get a tin can nailed to the side of the sidecar.

[Heritage]

I get a tin can nailed to the side of the sidecar.

Ah, the controversial side-sidecar. Make sure to check for sharp edges, and see if you can get some kind of padding in there, even if it's just some McDonald's napkins from your glove compartment ;)

[Veiled Malice]

So, VM, what would you like for Nanowire's entry?

Something like, "An inorganic lifeform, Nanowire has been looking for a cure to his condition for some time. More recently, his relationship with Grimalkin has him questioning his life choices, and is on the verge of transformation from villain to hero."

Yeah, something like that. :)

[Dr Archeville]

*rearranges time and space so the roster list includes VM's entry*

[Dr Archeville]

Here's what I've got thus far (based solely on what info is in the Character Bank):

Aaron Shui: Asian-American Water Manipulator, thanks to the dragon bonded to him.

Badb: Battle-loving Warrior with a few tricks (Radiation Control, Flight) up her sleeve.

Blue Blaster: Mind-reading Shapeshifting son of a retired Gadgeteer.

Captain Wonder: Veteran Paragon, used to the big league, fought in WWII, recently out retirement. His connection to the Egyptian Pantheon could discourage or might draw out mystical/mythological foes while old wartime troubles might seek him out as well. Apart from that he's well known as something of a classic hero, and not just because of having been active back in those days.

Capricia Chill: Mafia Ice Princess, literally: a ruthless Cold Manipulator.

Catherine Kato: Donut-loving heroic Street-Mage.

Collateral: Selfish Magnetic Manipulator villain.

Colt: Agent of UNISON. Likes firearms, and other utility belt items (but really likes his guns).

Cory Devlin: Irish Cold Manipulator out for his own monetary well-being. Superhumanly agile, too.

Doktor Archeville: Eccentric Gadgeteer (Mad Scientist) hero, though at times he has all the cackling and haughtiness of a mad scientist supervillain. Is it really all just an act to keep folks off-guard? Worked as a superhero in and around Germany for several years before moving to Freedom City, where he’s still working on making a name for himself.

Dryad: Psychotic/sociopathic Plant-Woman, “created” by an unknown scientist but later “Raised” by the Green Man. Currently in prison.

Emmissary: Very active, public face, could be said to be something of a posterboy. Not too much is needed to get Emmissary to at least try his outmost (which is rather a lot) to do what is right and good.

Entropy: Young girl with the essences of three sorcerers from the Terminus embedded in her soul, which lets her use their mystical powers for good. Sister of Dead Boy.

The Exile: Former God-King (almost Dark Lord), stripped to a mere Mystic and now seeking ways to regain his power.

The Ghost: Incredibly lucky “B&E” man, infamous for his ability to get into any secured locale. If the price is right, of course.

Gossamer: Friendly and approachable (if a tad vain) heroine with Prehensile Hair.

Grimalkin: A tricky one who’s been on both sides of the law. Currently fights on the side of heroes after having had witnessed some woefully indifferent police.

High Note: Campy Energy (Sonic) Controller, attending the Claremont Academy. An aspiring performer in musicals, until his powers made such impossible.

Hub: Quiet Booster who prefers to help others do their thing, and not take any space in the spotlight.

Icarus: Villainous Gravity Manipulating (son? clone? brother?) of Daedalus. Works for/with Talos.

Imposter: Playful master of disguise from Claremont Academy.

Ironhide: Powerhouse who uses his power to increase his own density to do whatever it takes to get all the money he wants.

The Legionnaire: Time-tossed Roman Warrior. Berserk rages and “older morals” made him unpopular with the hero crowd, and now he’s turned on them.

Maggot: Collective-like collective of maggots, housing the mind of a very confused and traumatized high school-aged girl.

Malice: Metahuman-hating human genius in a home-made Battlesuit. Has a rivalry with other tech-heads.

ManBat: Half man, half bat, all hero.

Mashin-Kun (Machine Boy): Japanese Android?

Mongrel Angel: Strong and tough… something (s/he’s got angelic blood?).

Nanowire: An inorganic lifeform, Nanowire has been looking for a cure to his condition for some time. More recently, his relationship with Grimalkin has him questioning his life choices, and is on the verge of transformation from villain to hero.

Nightrival: Dedicated (obsessed?) Martial Artist. Calm, quiet, efficient, stands up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.

Nightshyft: Heir to the Midnight mantle, he is an exquisite martial artist, detective, and sneak.

The Norseman: A giant of a man, connected to the Norse Pantheon. Unlike Captain Wonder, though, his connection is in the form of the artifacts he wields in their name.

Panthera: Vietnamese Martial Artist, with a touch of Speedster. She’s a master of Pao Pet Mei, Leopard Style kung fu. Most often seen around the Chinatown areas.

Poltergesit: Inexperienced Darkness Manipulator attending the Claremont Academy. Transferred from Bulgaria; her parents thought she’d be safer in Freedom City.

Psi: Armless mercenary Psychic who’s possibly borderline psychotic.

Raindance: Weather Controller from the Claremont Academy.

Reflexion: Serious-minded Martial Artist with “photographic reflexes.” An escaped agent/experiment of The Labyrinth.

Ronin: Hyper-aggressive schizophrenic Super-Soldier with a Big Frakin’ Gun.

Rusty Nail: Jovial Size Manipulator/Shrinker, though he has a bit of a temper.

Sen: Samurai-like Weapon-Master, seeking clues to his father’s whereabouts.

Spectrum: Dedicated Light Manipulator, here to protect and serve.

Strygwyr the Bloodseeker: Ravaging Demon/Atlantean hybrid. Gets temporarily stronger & tougher every time he kills; also has some dark druidic/nature magic.

Super-Thug: Paragon-in-the-Works for Criminals.

Twister: Self-centered Spinner who’s murdering his way up to become one of FC’s wealthy elites.

Velocity: Near-omnipresent Speedster, though few seem to mind since she’s such a knockout. Young, bright, and very eager.

Void: Appears to be a young girl, but she was created ex nihilo in/from the Zero Zone by some unknown Creator. Now she’s seeking him out, and will do anything to find him.

I've added ManBat. Anyone else need adding?

Added Bounce.

[Cotoloti]

Can you modify Rusty a little bit? He's not a size manipulator. His size has been manipulated. Stuck in itty bitty mode. That doesn't sound like a particularly awesome description though.. Hmm...

[Dr Archeville]

Well, what would you like to be put down for him? "Jovial midget with anger management issues"? (Sounds like Joe Pesci.)

[Warmonger]

Oh my I really haven't been paying attention. Great work there Dr. A. Spot on for the most part with some slight alterations. Ready for Hyper linking.

[urlhttp]Ronin: Hyper-aggressive, schizophrenic, Mercenary, Super-Soldier with a Big Frakin’ Gun.

[urlhttp]Sen: Samurai-like Weapon-Master, of an ancient demon hunting clan, seeking clues to his father’s whereabouts.

[Cotoloti]

First character to compare Rusty to Joe Pesci will discover what it is to have a very small, very strong, very, very angry man jump down their throat and beat them up from the inside out.
