Okay, cool. And I'm gathering up all of our characters into a Table of Contents.

We will most likely be needing that Character Archive thread after all.

I intend to run this RP just a tad bit differently than its predecessor, and if all goes well, our story will have room for many more characters. And we won't have to worry about going over capacity, as far as keeping track is concerned.

What do you guys think of a Freak-of-the-Week format? Like, basically, we have some short 'episodes' where we meet up with some of the supers, we fight them, we help them, they help us, we attack them, they attack us, get distracted from one mission for another, have to stop and rest, whatever, go get supplies, all depending on alignment and whatnot.

Basically, taking decent time before going for the Overlords. Because, when you always go straight for the epic fights, they tend to be way less epic. Looking back, I think in the original RP thread, it took us all of four pages to get to Caleb Trelaine and defeat him? I mean, granted, four long, wordy pages, cause me and 667 like to talk a lot, but four pages nonetheless.

It was moving along far too fast.

Which means we need to slooooooow doooooooown. Take time to enjoy this little dystopia we're crafting for ourselves. Truly get to know the towns we're heading into. Get a feel for what sorts of people we're dealing with; both the citizens and the rulers. I mean, we haven't even freaking encountered a single fiefdom, for all the mention we've given them in the former RP!

So, um, after all this here long, wordy wordiness, my main point is, I just want us to have fun and really enjoy whats going on. Really try to get a feel for everyone and everything. What's music and TV and culture like in this age, when the world is arising from the devastation of a crippling social and philosophical crisis?

Our journey through the world should uncover that. And with all my babbling about the topic, I hope I can do it justice through my narration, as well as I think we can through our joint participation.

 Yeah, well as this was our first, we're allowed to make mistakes.

And technically, we're allowed to make mistakes any time after. But after dealing with that first RP, we've moved on and hopefully grown smarter and wiser with how we do things here.

I don't object to that. In California you introduced a group of antagonists then beat them in a singe page, and in Canada what was even the point of the whole prison thing?

*Edit: You skipped the whole heist.

 Case and point.

Things need to slow the heck down. That day, I probably couldn't think of what to say about the heist, so I skipped past it.

A great deal of the story's being derailed, I attribute to having only one author running an entire RP by himself. Is it really any wonder things got to be a little schizophrenic after a while?

Other- One of three competing Overlords in Arizona; owner and head quarry foreman at the family business, Gorak Industrial

=Psychology=

Likes-  beer, exercise and working out, being in control, competition, challenges, showing his dominance, getting his way, being right, hard work and feeling accomplished (often prefers to do things the hard way), hard workers, motivating others, sports, cars, women (especially if he can win them over from playing hard to get), getting dirty

Dislikes- men who abuse women and children, lawbreakers, oath breakers, traitors, cowards, quitters, disobedience from his subjects, having his authority challenged, sarcasm

Phobias-  rejection (hates the thought, which is why he always tries to be the best at everything he does, and attacks anyone who does not somehow work to stroke his ego)

Personality- David Gorak is an incredibly stubborn person; his obstinacy is legend around the parts he rules, and among the Overlords with whom he associates. Once he sets his mind on something, he intends to carry it out, and will not feel at ease unless it is dealt with, accomplished, completed or in the works toward achieving. Though, he also has something of a temper, and is highly competitive (known for quickly cutting people off who he sees as distracting or hindering him from his goals). Yet, while he is very goal-oriented, he is willing to stray ever-slightly from his goals to help those in need...provided, they are loyal subjects already under his caring jurisdiction, who will lavish him with praise.

=Skills=

Knowledge- Locations and operations of various superhumans, superhuman factions and gangs, knowledge of sports, decent knowledge of politics, decent knowledge of philosophy

Skills- Picking up on new skills, instruction in working out and exercise, instruction in the various skills he possesses, sports, various handyman trades (roofing; flooring; plumbing; auto mechanic work; building, maintaining and repairing various things; tile; paint; lumber; quarry work, etc), first aid, fighting (boxing, wrestling and fighting dirty), holding grudges, insulting people, intimidation

Nonskills- Being patient with things he considers unworthy causes, accepting or admitting defeat, taking loss graciously, giving up, backing down, forgiving those who cross him, showing mercy to those who cross him, apologizing, being humble, games of strategy (unless they are also physical in nature), going easy on people for the sake of friendly competition

=Superpowers!=

Geokinesis (ability to psychically control and manipulate earth, including soil and rock)

    Sub-Powers- Tremor Sense (can psychically perceive vibrations through the earth, up to twenty feet away from him; can use this to vaguely identify size and shape with eyes open, and can use this to see with eyes closed or in darkness)

    Power Scale- 5 (capable of psychically manipulating significant quantities of earth to his will, but being distracted, prolonged use, being tired while the ability is in use, or use on too large a quantity strains his mind, and his powers may backfire)
    Control Scale- 9 (Can activate the ability at a whim, unless he is distracted or tired)


Invulnerable Metal Skeleton (Has a skeleton composed of an unknown metal, that has thus proven indestructible by conventional means, such as high impact, etc)

    Power Scale- 9 (His bones, as of yet, have proven unbreakable, though his internal organs, muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments are no stronger than those of the average human)
    Control Scale- 6 (N/A)

Dislikes- Arguments with no purpose, stupidity, when people state what he considers to be obvious, making mistakes, having to explain things too many times, politics, spicy food

Phobias- none; he realizes that phobias are irrational fears, and if he fears anything, it's being irrational

Personality- Incredibly socially awkward to be around, Perry Maxwell has a personality less suited to be a science professor, and more suited to be your dorky dad. He loves science and math-based puns, jokes and word-play, but if he sees that you don't understand or appreciate his professorial humor, then he has a tendency to break it down to child-level like a TV edutainment host. Though somewhat absentminded on a normal day, other scholars dare not mock him; when he gets down to business, he could think circles around them, and is not a mind to be trifled with.

=Skills=

=Superpowers!=

Psychic Aptitude (can psychically perceive the makeup and operation of various complex systems, by touch)

    Sub-Powers- Superhuman Intelligence (can assess, analyze, comprehend, recall and synthesize data, information and patterns with greater speed and accuracy than an average human)

    Sub-powers- Speed-Reading (can read like a dynamo; finished several dictionaries within days of one another)

    Sub-Powers- Panmnesia (remembers everything he has ever learned or experienced, and can recall it at will, so memories don't overwhelm his conscious mind)

    Sub-powers- Superhuman Willpower- has been known to resist even upper-level psychic influence by mentally "pushing back" against it

    Sub-Powers- Ambidexterity (can write easily with both hands)

    Power Scale- 8 (is highly intelligent and competent; memory is perfect, and mind cannot be dominated by less than the most powerful or subtle influences)
    Control Scale- 6 (although his intellect is under his complete and total control; his anger, anxiety and fear causes him to revert to cold and calculating thought)


Longevity (can live a much longer lifespan than the average human)

    Sub-Powers- Agelessness (will not age past physically looking around 40 years of age)

    Power Scale- 10 (If never killed, he could effectively live forever)
    Control Scale- N/A (does not need activation or control)

Hm...I need a profile for the main henchmen of all the Overlords. So, we should probably get on the Trelaine family's henchmen. Both those of Caleb and Samantha's lands...

I'll get to work on Phil, Willis, Bruce and Bruno today, if I can help it.

Height- 5'11

Weight- 159 lbs.

Gender- Male

Chronological Age- 24

Biological Age- early twenties

Other- twins; often referred to as a joint entity (Bruce and Bruno; rarely called on separately, by people who know them)

=Psychology=

Likes- reading books and watching movies of (the suspense/mystery, horror, sci-fi and fantasy genres); having people wait on them hand and foot, bossing people around, being right, having people fear them, superhumans, luxury, travel, wealthy and powerful people, computers, talking with one another (especially to share secrets), puzzles, riddles, not being easy to tell apart, finishing each others' sentences, messing with Phil

Phobias- the wrath of the Trelaine family, being permanently separated from one another

Personality- Sarcastic, cynical and condescending, the brothers care for few people beside each other and the Trelaine family. In fact, their fascination with and the loyalty to the Trelaine family can sometimes border on obsessive. Though, this is likely due to having deemed the Trelaines' survival critical to their own. That said, the two are still quite passive-aggressive to any members of Caleb's entourage (and horrible to any of his subjects) that Caleb will let them get away with, and if threatened, will quickly defend each other over any other supposed allies.

=Skills=

Knowledge- "their place", the locations and functions of various superhumans, superhuman factions and gangs, fluent in Spanish, French, German, Klingon, Elfin and Esparanto

Skills- interrogation, reading body language, lying, using their friend's resources for petty and extreme damage, decent fighters (especially when combining their abilities with their skills), provoking fights and instigating trouble, strategy, using technology (especially computers), solving riddles and puzzles, math

    Sub-powers- (Bruno) Bodily Possession (can psychically dominate living subjects, and control them, by physically passing into them, at will)

Power Scale- 7 (can psychically possess their respective targets for as long as they like, and if they can take control, they take near total control; takes the strongest/wildest of minds, or the densest/heaviest of objects, for their powers to fail)
Control Scale- 5 (can use their abilities at will, but intense emotions may make it more difficult to maintain possession of a target, or harder to depart the target)


Power- Twin Telepathy (the ability to psychically receive thoughts from and project thoughts to one's twin sibling, at will)
   
    Sub-powers- Psychic Link (the presence of an inherent psychic connection of one mind to another, allowing efficient mental contact and communication, as well as often resulting in agreeing thoughts, perspectives and opinions)
   
    Sub-powers- Twin Metempsychosis (the ability to psychically switch bodies with one's twin sibling, at will)

    Sub-powers- Gestalt Telepathy (the ability psychically increase one's capacity for telepathy--allowing the users to branch out to other minds--by joining up with another; in the twins' case, by joining hands)

Power Scale- 5 (decent telepaths, though not prodigious; can be resisted with training, as evidenced by Caleb Trelaine; preferred mode of psychic contact is between the twins)
Control Scale- 7 (can be activated at will, though distress and separation decrease their abilities, and fear and anger increase their receptive capabilities, resulting sometimes in minor headaches)

So, Zale, how comes the reading?

I'm really feeling ready to get back to this story. I feel, with the new players, like things will be far more interesting, and far more engaging to read and participate in.

If all goes well, this will play out far less like a bad Heroes fanfic, and more like an actual attempt at a decent, enjoyable story.

 (Kinda feeling a bit giddy right now...)

Okay, so since I'm sort of odd about these sorts of things, I'm going through the character profiles and trying to find nice pictures for them. Not making everybody all super-sexy and awesome (though, sometimes that is a pleasant side-effect), just trying to make them look like the profiles say they should.

I'm starting with the FIRST characters thread, and I'll be continuing basically until I'm done. Hopefully, I can find them all pics before their characters are to be included in the story (if at all).

===Character===

Name- Delia Drummond

Nick Name/Alias- Human Lie Detector, Lady Snitch, Miss Polygraph, Wonder Woman (in reference to both her tireless workaholic tendencies, and Wonder Woman's capacity as DC Comics' Greek goddess of truth)

=Appearance=

Height- 5'9

Weight- 130 lbs.

Gender- Female

Chronological Age- 31

Biological Age- early thirties

Skin Color- White

Eye Color- Brown

Other- an expert interrogator; works for the President

=Psychology=

Likes- TV, reading, movies, eating out, using the computer, brainteasers and puzzles (especially sudoku and Rubik's cubes), optical illusions, outsmarting enemies, animals, trying to get in some exercise, kids, flowers, soft rain, warm sunny days, being appreciated for her gifts (compliments, awards, etc.)

Phobias- rejection, failing relationships

Personality- Delia is quite an intellectual person; though she does know how to have fun, she is, compared to most, something of a prude. She doesn't smoke, only has the occasional social drink, is mostly celibate, and but for the event of a sick day or a vacation day, doesn't do a great deal outside of her work. Though, unlike many intellectuals, her stoic and aloof demeanor is not due to a social inability to connect with other people--rather, it is due to her fear of rejection.

=Skills=  

Knowledge- Locations and operations of various superhumans, superhuman factions and gangs, government officials and overlords; pretty fluent knowledge of psychology and sociology; decent knowledge of math and science

Skills- skilled with puzzles, computers/machines, and cracking codes (familiar with Morse, Braille, sign language, and various other codes), stopping fights, interrogation, time management, administrative work, excellent multitasker, acting, decent artist, telling jokes (kinda), lying, decent fighter (takes work-mandated self-defense classes); speaks Spanish, French, German and some Dutch

=Superpowers!=

Power- Lie Detection (can psychically perceive when subjects are telling lies)
   
    Sub-power-- can tell specifically which part of a person's statements is untrue or deceptive (not what about it is untrue, or what the truth is, just that it is untrue); can also discern the difference between deliberate deception and mistaken information, and powers normally do not react to her own lies

    Sub-power-- Body Language Intuition (can intuitively read body language, to analyze various physical body cues, including predicting movement)

Power Scale--7 (can detect lies, even of many skilled liars; only the most powerful minds--or the truly honestly oblivious--can evade her detection of untruth)
Control Scale- 7 (can usually tune in and tune out with her powers; powers may sharpen to become more sensitive, reacting even to mistaken information, or to her own deceptions, if she is afraid or nervous)


Power- Truth Inducing (can psychically cause a subject to tell the truth, by asking the subject questions, or compelling the subject similar to Psychic Persuasion)
   
    Sub-power-- If she employs the ability by asking questions, she temporarily deactivates the subject's ability to tell lies, but does not compel the subject to speak; if she employs the ability by compulsion, she compels the subject to speak, but must be specific about what she wants to know, otherwise the subject spouts random truths

Power Scale--7 (can force truth from nearly anyone with willpower below superhuman level)
Control Scale- 9 (can usually activate it at will; the subject must understand her, for the ability to take effect)

 Tamara McShay, the elemental, who had that lovely Crowning Moment of Awesome in the previous series...not that I did or didn't intend to use her again in this RP, but when FlyBoy disappeared for whatever reason, he took her profile with him.

Looks like I'll have to create a new version, from memory, and whatever info we can salvage from the wiki.

 And Zale, would you be okay if I found a pic for Alex the Shapeshifter? Not that I intend him/her/it/whatever to maintain one physical shape for any long period of time, but I'd like pictures for the wiki. I've even been thinking about making a gallery on the wiki for the various shapes he takes.

 Ugh, dang, FlyBoy4 (in his departure) seems to have deleted A FEW characters. Tamara McShay, Renee Velatruz, Mark Yamada AND Damien Caste. All of whom turned out to be pretty important to ESRP.

So, I've restored two of them, to the best of my memory, but Mark and Damien I'll have to try working on tomorrow.

Okay, Damien Caste and Mark Yamada have been restored, too. I seem to be getting much quicker at this. So, I'm gonna try a couple more profiles tonight, that came to mind.

Willing to do nearly anything for a good laugh, and he is a shameless flirt, who doesn't take always take no for an answer. Deep down, though, he is a very nice, upbeat and thoughtful person, who just happens to really love sweets.
