[/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:Born and raised within the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Obi-Wan has known no other life. Unlike his peers, Obi-Wan demonstrated an early aptitude for dry humor and sarcastic wit that seemed ill placed in the Jedi Temple. When the young Padawan reached the Age of Choosing (when a Master would choose to take him on or not), he was described as cynical, though wise beyond his years. His humble and soft-spoken demeanor belied his talent with the training-sabers. Few of the Masters felt he was ready for training, Yoda disagreed and took the Padawan as his own. Under Yoda's tutelage, Obi-Wan grew to become an exemplary Jedi Knight. None of the other Masters could deny that he was the perfect apprentice: steadfast, selfless, and modest. His skill with the Jedi Arts was rivaled only by his talent for Diplomacy, a gift that soon earned him the sobriquet: The Negotiator. To the grudging respect of his peers, most of whom preferred the life of medatative seclusion, Obi-Wan became 'The Face' of the Jedi to the Republic. =================== CHARACTER NAME: Obi-Wan Kenobi ALIASES: Obi-Wan, Ben, 'The Negotiator' SPECIES: Human GENDER: Male HAIR: Brown EYES: Brown HEIGHT: 5'10 WEIGHT: 180 LBS =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT  =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 06W 02R=================== INT 05 ( 03W) STR 02 ( 02R) AGI 03 ( 01W) SPD 03 ( 01W) DUR 03 ( 01W) =================== VITALS=================== HEALTH: 03 ENERGY: 18 RECHARGE: 06 =================== ACTIONS Total: 20W XX R=================== CONCENTRATION 01 ( 02W) *Base Cost AN+03 *INT Bonus JEDI KNIGHT 03 ( 09w) *As Combat [Close] *Base Cost AN *INT Bonus or WEAPON Bonus *Combine INT and WEAPON Bonus +05 *Basic Hand to Hand Combat *Lightsaber Combat *Blaster Deflection GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 02 ( 02W) *Base Cost AN+01 *INT Bonus *Linguist (Proficient in native plus AN additional Languages) +01 *Galactic Cultures *Jedi Lore SOCIAL SKILLS 04 ( 02W) *Base Cost AN *Jedi Culture *Investigation *Persuasion *Diplomacy MIND TRICK 01 ( 02w) *As Telepathy *Base Cost AN *Cannot Read Thoughts *Can Discern Emotions *Project Thoughts / Control Others +01 *INT Bonus +02 TELEKINESIS 01 ( 03W) *Base Cost AN+02 *INT Bonus +02 =================== MODIFIERS Total: 09W 01R=================== FORCE INTUITION II ( 06W) *As Psychocentric Power Template *Base Cost MN+05 PRESCIENT SENSE II ( 03W) *As Reflexive Dodge *Base Cost MN+03 FORCE VISIONS ( 01R) *As Precognitive Flashes *Base Cost 01R =================== CHALLENGES Total: 06W XX R=================== CONFLICTING INTERESTS [JEDI/REPUBLIC] ( 01) DEADLY ENEMIES ( 03) DISLIKES FLYING ( 01) WON'T BREAK THE LAW ( 02) =================== EQUIPMENT Total: 04W XXR=================== JEDI ROBES I ( FREE) *As Tughness LIGHTSABER II ( 04W) *Base Cose MN+01 *Armor Piercing +03 [/quote] |

[/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:Originally a Maia spirit of Yavanna called Aiwendil, He was chosen as one of the Istari who came to Middle-earth. As with each of the Istari, he was given a personal assignment in addition to the reason for which they were dispatched to Middle-Earth. Radagast's assignment was to be a guardian of the Natural World. All Flora, Fauna, and Animals were his to care for and protect. Should the worst come to pass, and Sauron reign victorious, it would fall to Radagast to protect and preserve as much of the Natural as possible under such a dark reign. Unlike his kindred, Radagast chose to put this calling above all else. He moved into a life of seclusion on the western eves of Mirkwood. There he created a Wildlife Refuge, called Rhosgobel. A sanctuary for endangered animal and plants from around Middle-Earth. Rarely did he ever venture forth from his home, save at behest of Gandalf and Saruman, or in favor to one of his many friends within the Animal Kingdom. The Brown Wizards Hermetic ways, and stand-off stance of non-involvement did not gain him points with those who had thought they might depend upon him. On more than one occasion he was manipulated by Saruman into being unavailable to Gandalf in times of need. A guilty conscience and sense of conflicting interests made him as putty in the hands of Saruman, who made no secret of his low oppinion of Radagast. It was not until his refuge and sanctuary was burned to the ground, his dependents slain and his lifes work destroyed, that Radagast finally came to realize he could not ignore his obligations to The World of Man any longer. Too late to aid the Fellowship perhaps, but not too late to do his part he hopes. =================== CHARACTER NAME: Radagast The Brown ALIASES: Aiwendil, Bird Friend, Bird-tamer, The Brown, Tender of Beasts, The Brown Wizard, The Master of Shapes and Changes of Hue SPECIES: Istari GENDER: Male HAIR: Gray EYES: Brown HEIGHT: 5'10 WEIGHT: 160 LBS =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT  =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 12W XXR=================== INT 05 ( 06W)* STR 03 ( 01W) AGI 03 ( 01W) SPD 03 ( 01W) DUR 03 ( 03W) =================== VITALS=================== HEALTH: 02 (DN) ENERGY: 10 RECHARGE: 05 =================== ACTIONS Total: 31W XXR=================== COMBAT [CLOSE] 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *STR Bonus or WEAPON Bonus *Staff Fighting *Multi-Form Natural Weapons *Hunter/Prey Tactics COMBAT [RANGED] 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *AGI Bonus or WEAPON Bonus *Marksmanship *Thrown Objects *Elf-Trained Archery GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 05 ( 04W) *Base Cost AN+01 *INT Bonus *Animals *Flora/Fauna *Agriculture *History *Magic HUNTING/TRACKING 04 ( 04W) *Base Cost AN *Woodcraft *Stalking/Evading *Moving Silently *Multi-Form MASTERY OF 'BROWN' MAGIC 04 ( 15W) *Base Cost AN+02 *INT Bonus +05 *Spirit Magic (as with all Istari, this allows for such things as facing Ring-Wraiths, combating Undead, or the time-consuming task of forging a Wizards Staff) +03 *AN 01 without Wizards Staff -02 *Cannot be Improved via LoE (Per the Valar) -02 *Summon/Control/Communicate-with Any Animal or Beast *Control/Manipulate/Speak-With Plants/Earth/Stone *Shape Shifting (Any Animal or Plant) *Control/Manipulate Fire/Water/Air at Half AN (Unable to w/o a Wizards Staff) MYSTIC HEALING 03 ( 03W) *Base Cost AN+02 *Herbalism *Pressure Points/Chakra's *Mystic Remedies SOCIAL SKILLS 05 ( 03W) *Base Cost AN *Istari Culture *Elven Culture/Language *Dwarven Culture/Language *Human Culture/Language *Intuit Animal Handling =================== MODIFIERS Total: 08W XXR=================== FORESIGHT ( 01R) *As Precognitive Senses *Base Cost 01R IMMORTAL ( 03W) LATENT ANIMAL SENSES III ( 01W) *Base Cost MN MAGICAL DEFENSE IV ( FREE) *MoM PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY ( 02R) *Base Cost 02R PRESCIENT SENSES II ( 03W) *As Reflexive Dodge *Base Cost MN+04 *Animal Senses Discount -01 =================== CHALLENGES Total: 11W XX R=================== CONFLICTING INTERESTS ( 03W) Radagast long ago abandoned the 'Primary Mission' in Middle Earth in favor of his secondary objective (That of safeguarding the Plants and Animals of Middle-Earth). Saruman has plagued upon this guilt and the moral quandries of his Conflicting Interests for decades. As a consequnce Radagast has been played an ignorant dupe in Saruman's manipulations, on more than one occasion. To his credit, Gandalf maintains faith that Radagast will have a part of his own to play still and that he is not the Failure that he believes himself to be. To compact the situation, Radagast (as all Istari are also) is forbidden to elevate his powers to match those of Sauron by the Valar.DISLIKED/SHUNNED BY PEERS ( 02W) Saruman has loathed and demeaned Radagast since first the Istari came to Middle-Earth, which has effected both his self-esteem and his standing with all of the Istari save Gandalf. Even the 'White Council' has come to regard Radagast as a cast-off misfit of uncertain dependability and/or loyalty.DEADLY ENEMIES( 03W) Saruman has always begrudged having been forced to bring Radagast to Middle-Earth, and the stubborn fool's refusal to join him hasn't done anything save fuel the hatred. As an Istari, Radagast is a prime target for any servant of Sauron or Saruman.HAUNTED PAST ( 02W) When 'The Nine' first rode forth into the North, one of the Ring-Wraiths (Khamul himself, the 'Black Easterling'... second only to the Witch-King of Angmar) was dispatched to stimy any intended interference from Radagast at Saruman's suggestion. Betrayed by Saruman's Intel, Radagast was caught nearly unawares; His home was razed to the ground, and he was forced to flee into the Mirkwood. Only the Ring-Wraith's primary mission prevented it from giving chase. The forest-fire caused by the battle destroyed many rare plants and creatures that Radagast had been protecting. Because of this conflict and it's aftermath, Radagast was unable to warn Gandalf or move to act in his stead to find and/or help Frodo. Still, it has served to rekindle a sense of duty for Radagast.=================== EQUIPMENT Total: XXW XXR=================== WIZARDS STAFF IV ( SELF-CREATED) *Combat Weapon *Base Cost MN *MN to Magic Actions BROWN ROBES I ( FREE) *As armor *Base Cost FREE [/quote] |

AoA Dark Riders Proposals... [/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:A petty thief, Parker Robbins broke into a warehouse with his cousin one night. Much to the surprise of the duo, the warehouse was not uninhabited. The demonic entity within, while starved and wounded, attempted to lay the would-be-thieves. Parker's cousin fled, leaving him alone to face the creature. Stubborn, and unwilling to leave empty handed, Parker stayed. Despite a grievious claw to his face (which left a wicked scar), Parker managed to slay the creature by strangeling it with a nearby chain. As trophy's of his victory, Parker took the creature's cloak. As he donned the mystical garment it whispered a single word into his mind: NISANTI. It would be a week before Parker would reveal to his cousin, and their small gang, that he'd survived the encounter. Further, he demonstrated the ability to vanish at will... the seedlings of his Legend were created. Word spread. Parker began to enjoy a power that even money couldn't buy. Fear, Awe, Respect. Within months, Robbins found himself the head of one of the countries largest criminal organizations and answering to the moniker: The Hood. Not long after, Parker developed an ability to sense Magical Artifacts... and they became primary items of acquisition. No money, or risk, was spared in the procurement of such things. It was his avid collecting that lead him to infiltrate a house in Greenwich Village, unbeknowns to him at the time~ The Sanctum of the worlds Sorcerer Supreme. Strange recognized the Nisanti Cloak for what it was immediately, and subdued the young thief without much seeming effort at all. Held tight within Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, Parker was held imprisoned for nearly a week. Then came news, and a proposition. Steven told Parker about Mutants, but Parker surprised the Doctor with his own knowledge of such things. He had more than a few working for him already. The Sorcerer Supreme countered with new knowledge~ An ancient mutant, older than recorded history, has begun launching a genocidal war against humanity... and for all the portents, it looked as though his victory was assured. Curious, Parker asked Steven why he cared... or why he was bothering to tell him this at all. Steven went on to inform Parker that his Duty as the Sorcerer Supreme forbade him from directly entering this conflict... but his heart weighed heavy with this. So, instead he offered to take Parker as his apprentice... and train him to act upon his behalf. A Mystical Champion for Humanity. Unable to resist the promise of power, Parker agreed. His training began at once. Together, the pair fended off more than one seemingly impossible assault on the invisible Sanctum. Parker was encouraged to venture forth at night as a Vigilante, to do his best to help the innocent. As one might expect, Parker found the arrangement suitable for a time. Until he noticed his Master holding back. Keeping secrets, knowledge, and spells to himself. Further, as the world began to succumb to Apocalypse's regiem, Parker began to doubt their ability to ever fight back the tide; Especially if Steven remained unwilling to step up. So he did what seemed natural. He made a deal with the enemy. The Shadow King was a scary being, well was it known that he now ruled the Astral Plane with near impunity. Few if any beings dared risk his domain any more. Strange had forbidden his apprentice from even trying to enter that place. So, in this time of treason, that is precisely where he went. It was with the Shadow King that Parker struck his accord. Just as The Shadow King was granted sole stewardship over the psychic realms by Apocalypse, Parker would be Apocalypse's Arcane Agent~ It would fall to him to police, sieze, and take care of any metaphysical threats to Apocalypse's sovereignty. His abilities would likewise be put to whatever use the Highlord so desired, when he desired them, without question. In exchange? Survival. His first assignment? Assist the Shadow King in destroying the describedly meddlesome sorcerer. Parker didn't question the description, but did as bidden. As the Shadow King launched an assault of unprecidented tenasity against Strange's mind, the Sorcerer Supreme lapsed into deep meditation... trusting in his Apprentice to safeguard his body. Thus, there was nothing stopping Parker from using his stolen Hellfire Shotgun to incinerate the defensless and empty vessel. Trapped in the Astral, and severed from his body, it would only be a matter of time before the old man would die... IF the Shadow King didn't kill him first. Much to his surprise, Parker found himself in near earthquake conditions. Steven's death seemed to have caused a contingent effect on the Sanctum, and it was tearing itself apart. Parker grabbed what he could, and fled. Staring at the void where the Sanctum had once stood, Parker gripped his trophies proudly. The Cloak of Levitation, and Amulet of Agamotto. Mantles of the Sorcerer Supreme. His now. Proud testament to his rise in station. It would be weeks before he discovered the Amulet was empty, the Eye of Agamotto missing. Still, he was the foremost skilled arcanist left in the world to his knowledge. His own Nisanti Cloak had merged with the Cloak of Levitation, his skill in magic was growing, and the Hellfire Shotgun he'd taken from the vanquished Vengeance (Michael Badilino) were all potent assets that ensured he earned his keep in the High Lords service. =================== CHARACTER NAME: THE HOOD ALIASES: Parker Robbins, Parker, Sorcerer Supreme (Self-Proclaimed) SPECIES: Human GENDER: Male HAIR: Brown EYES: Gray HEIGHT: 5'10 WEIGHT: 160 LBS =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT  =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 09W 01R=================== INT 06 ( 04W) STR 02 ( 02R) AGI 03 ( 01W) SPD 02 ( 02R) DUR 03 ( 03W) =================== VITALS=================== HEALTH: 03/03 ENERGY: 09/09 RECHARGE: 03 =================== ACTIONS Total: 16W XXR=================== COMBAT [CLOSE] 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *INT Bonus *Dirty Tactics *Street Fighting *Magic Weapons COMBAT [RANGED] 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *AGI Bonus *Thrown Items *Guns *Magic Weapons MASTERY OF MAGIC 04 ( 06W) *Base Cost AN+02 *Accumulate +01 SORCERY 01 ( 04W) *Base Cost AN+02 *INT Bonus +05 *Cannot Control w/o Amulet of Agamotto -02 GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 02 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN+01 *INT Bonus *Arcane Theory *Magical Artifacts SOCIAL SKILLS 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *Streetwise *Deception *Occult Circles THIEVING 04 ( 02W) *Base Cost AN *AGI or INT Bonus *Sleight of Hand *Infiltration/Exfiltration *Stealth *Evasion =================== MODIFIERS Total: 06W 02R=================== PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY ( 02R) *Base Cost 02R SENSE MAGIC V ( 06W) *As Sense Mutant, Rethemed *Base Cost MN+02 *Range: MN = 1 Mile =================== CHALLENGES Total: 10W XXR=================== PSYCHOLOGICAL [LUST FOR POWER] ( 03) Second only to his intense desire for personal survival, is the desire to acquire mystical power at any cost.

AoA Dark Riders Final Submission, V3 [/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:In The Beginning...
The decision to break into the old Customs Warehouse seemed like a perfectly good one at the time. Destitute and starving, Parker and his older cousin saw potential for gain; Agents of the King Pin were offering a lucrative Finders Fee if anyone could secure any worthwhile merchandise. Of all the things they expected they might find within, never would either of them had ever have guessed a Demon might be among them.
No. They'd expected something much more mundane. Something believeable. Dust laden shelves, Empty Crates, Old rat chewed ledgers, termite infested furniture, a hobo or three. Only in their wildest dreams would they stumble across items that might be fenced. Even the notion of something terrifyingly realistic like a mutant wasn't on the radar.
To say the pair were rendered inert with shock and horror would be an understatement.
The sound of gunfire broke the moment. Parker looked to his left, his cousin had drawn out a pistol and opened fire on the monstrosity. For such teremity, the boy was rewarded by having his arms and legs ripped free and tossed aside as trash.
Parker vividly recalls falling to his knees and vommiting. Through tear-blurred eyes he saw his gun had slid a few feet away, well beyond reach. Something in the back of his mind whispered that it was useless anyways. He looked up to find the demon regarding him calmly. Studying him. Parker somehow met the creatures eyes. Somehow, there he found a resolve; A courage. He rose to his feet again, and faced the demon proudly.
Only when the demon fell dead before him, did Parker notice the wounds.
As expected, Parker found nothing in his numb-minded search of the warehouse. Unwilling to leave empty handed, he did remove the demon's thick read hooded cloak and took it for his own. Odd fashion aside, it was thick and would undoubtedly keep him warm through the winter. It might not be food, or something with which to earn money... but it was something.
Upon donning the cloak, a voice whispered into his mind. It whispered a single word. A name. NISANTI.The Hood Rising...
Over the next week, the Cloak would whisper more than that. It told of it's origins, having been crafted by an Elder Being of vast power called Dormammu. It spoke of what it was capable of... and those capabilities were what inspired Parker more than anything.
Via his cloak, Parker was able to turn invisible at will. An amazing feat, that when coupled with his cunning mind and gifts of stealth, allowed him to manipulate his way through the lower dregs of NYC's criminal underworld. Within weeks he was able to form his own gang, months later, he was a nororious Crime Lord called 'The Hood' by colleagues and law enforcement agencies alike.
For his part, Parker reveled in his newfound wealth and prestige. It was nearly a year before boredome began to settle in, and he learned a new trick. Proximity with the Nisanti Cloak had gifted him in other ways. Latent senses within him were awoken, and he found himself able to sense the proximity of Magical Items and even creatures.
Such things became a new obsession. No dollar or resource was spared as he began to obsessively hunt down and collect such mystical artifacts. This invariably lead to numerous conflicts with owners and foreign governments alike... but at the end of each day, his collection (and thus his power base) continued to expand. As one might expect, a quickly rising reputation as the worlds preeminent Arcane Thief drew the attention of the Sorcerer Supreme. Trials and Offers...
It came to pass that oppertunities to lay hands upon magical artifacts came to conflict with the management of The Hood's syndicate. When forced to make such choices, more and more often he gave into his obsession. Such choices began to cost him the support of his minnions. Internal strife grew, and eventually, the Criminal Empire Parker had forged began to crumble around him.
As frustration mounted, Parker grew restless. When finally a coupe was raised, Parker opted to vanish and take his acquisition adventures abroad. He'd learned what he could from the various tomes he'd unearthed, and was more Adept than Novice by this point. Of the artifacts in his vault, most were overlarge to move or provided little use save sentimental value. So with naught but his mind, skill, and Nisanti Cloak, Parker moved through Europe as a man posessed.
Parker couldn't claim true surprise when most leads turned out to be dead ends. Competition for such secrets was far greater in the East, given a more open minded approach to supersition than the average American held.
Stories of War erupting in North America fell upon uncaring ears where Parker was concerned. It was the home of his past, and didn't seem to hold much bearing upon his future.
Finally, Parker heard rumors of an ancient repository hidden away in Tibet, and subsequently he spent every last penny in his posession to secure transportation.
The trek through the wilds to the hidden monastary was filled with peril of sorts to ensure only the worthy might find their way... and find his way Parker did.
The Ancient One was no dabble or novice, and detected the intruders presense immediately. Recognizing tell-tale signature of the Nisanti Cloak it was a simple effort for the Sorcerer Supreme to locate Parker and confine him within Crimson Bands of Cyttorak.
For days Parker was held captive in a tiny cell, bereft of window or door. The room was furnished simple with a small cot and an old television set. Food appeared three times a day, magically. Not a single spell in Parker's repoirte proved sufficient to free him from his cell.
On the fifth day, he turned the television on.
It got one channel~ a Brittish News Agency, reporting on the 'Rise of Apocalypse' in North America. Semingly on que, the Ancient One appeared shortly after. His introduction was curt and polite. He asked a great many questions regarding how Parker had come across the Nisanti Cloak, his life, and his thoughts on the news stories regarding current events in America.
Seemingly pleased with the answers, The Ancient One went on to explain his role in the Universe, as the Sorcerer Supreme of their Dimension. Guardian against Greater Evils and Extradimensional Threats beyond mankinds wildest imagination. He extrapolated on the good works that he'd done, and what his Duty to the world was. He continued on to mention his guilt over being unable to help Earth in this time of need due to his position as Sorcerer Supreme. Finally, he made Parker an offer.
The Ancient One admitted to having been observing Parker from a distance for some time, as one of many potential candidates for this offer. He was old, and far from getting any younger. He would one day need a successor. While such a time was some ways off as of yet, the world needed men of ability and vision not tied down by Duty. The Ancient One offered to train Parker as a potential successor, provided that in the interim he turn his skills towards aiding mankind in this darkest of hours.
Unable to resist the lure of power, Parker agreed. His training commenced.The Treacherous Apprentice...
As time passed, and the cullings in America began in earnest, Parker was encouraged to utilize his abilities in vigilante fashion, passing through pre-arranged portals into America and back as needed.
Parker found the arrangement suitable for a time. Until, that is, he noticed his Master holding back. Keeping secrets, knowledge, and spells to himself. Further, as the world began to succumb to Apocalypse's regiem, Parker began to doubt their ability to ever fight back the tide; Especially if The Ancient One adhered to his policy of noninvolvement. To Parker's mind, his Duty should be to CHOOSE a side and Champion it rather then let each side tear the world apart.
So he did what seemed natural. Parker made a choice, and then he made a deal with the enemy. Or Enemies, rather.
The Shadow King was a scary being, and well was it known even in the occult circles that he now ruled the Astral Plane with near impunity. Few, if any, beings dared risk his domain any more save for the Sorcerer Supreme himself and a handful supernatural creatures potent enough to give the Shadow King pause.
It was with the Shadow King that Parker struck his first accord. Just as The Shadow King was granted sole stewardship over the psychic realms by Apocalypse, Parker would be Apocalypse's 'Arcane Agent'~ It would fall to him to police, sieze, and take care of any metaphysical threats to Apocalypse's sovereignty. His abilities would likewise be put to whatever use the Highlord so desired, when he desired them, without question. In exchange? Survival.
A position in the 'New Order' secured, Parker turned his attention next to removing his competition. If he was to be the worlds foremost practitioner of magic, as he'd claimed he already was to the Shadow King, then he'd need to remove the current Sorcerer Supreme and take the mantle for his own.
To that end, he'd need an edge. Parker had learned early of the Elder Power known as Dormammu, and his ties to the Nisanti Cloak. Further, he knew the dark being held a personal grudge against the Ancient One... and that The Ancient One greatly feared the threat that Dormammu posed to the world. Dormammu was an easy choice as such. Dormammu seemed unsurprised by Parker's request for an audience, and seemed to know Parker far better than any other-dimensional being should (leading Parker to suspect himself a pawn in a MUCH larger scheme of Dormammu's) The two worked out a devious plan, that involved a coordinated assault on the Dimensional Wards protecting Earth from beyond by Dormammu, Zarathos, and Cthon.
As promised, at the annointed hour, Parker palmed the golden Power Gem from Earth's Warding Tablet. At this signal, the assembled Dark Powers launched an assault of unprecidented tenacity against Earth's Dimensional Wards. Sensing the assault, but not it's cause, the Sorcerer Supreme entered into a deep meditation so as to bolster the failing safeguards and repair them if possible... trusting in his Apprentice to safeguard his body. Thus, there was nothing stopping Parker from using his stolen Hellfire Shotgun to incinerate the defensless and empty vessel.
Trapped in the Astral, and severed from his body, it would only be a matter of time before the old man would die... IF the Shadow King didn't kill him first. Parker had no doubt that The Ancient One would spend the majority of his energy and efforts to repair the damaged wards, leaving him easy prey for the nefarious mutant telepath. Self-Sacrifice was intrinsic to the old mans nature. If he were foolish enough to flee the Astral, then one of the Three Dark Powers were waiting with baited breath in hopes of stealing his soul away.
Much to his surprise, Parker found himself in near earthquake conditions. The Ancient One's death seemed to have caused a contingent effect on the Temple, and it was tearing itself apart.
Parker grabbed what he could, and fled.Sorcerer Supreme and Arcane Trouble-Shooter for Apocalypse...
Staring at the void where the Sanctum had once stood, Parker gripped his trophies proudly. The Cloak of Levitation, and Amulet of Agamotto. Mantles of the Sorcerer Supreme. His now. Proud testament to his rise in station.
It would be weeks before he discovered the Amulet was empty, the Eye of Agamotto missing.
Still, he was the foremost skilled arcanist left in the world to his knowledge. His own Nisanti Cloak had merged with the Cloak of Levitation, his skill in magic was growing, and the Hellfire Shotgun he'd taken from the vanquished Vengeance (Michael Badilino) were all potent assets that ensured he earned his keep in the High Lords service.
Of his arrangements with Dormammu, Parker is still in the creatures debt despite their mutual gain. While the Amulet of Agamotto MIGHT afford him a modicum of protection should he deign to argue that matter, he's not so foolish as to think he's capable of combatting such a power bereft of the missing Eye of Agamotto. That would need found. Sooner, rather than later.
For the time being, his Duty to Apocalypse holds priority however...=================== CHARACTER NAME: THE HOOD ALIASES: Parker Robbins, Parker, Sorcerer Supreme (Self-Proclaimed) SPECIES: Human GENDER: Male HAIR: Brown EYES: Gray HEIGHT: 5'10 WEIGHT: 160 LBS =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 09W 01R=================== INT 06 ( 04W) STR 02 ( 02R) AGI 03 ( 01W) SPD 02 ( 02R) DUR 03 ( 03W) =================== VITALS=================== HEALTH: 03/03 ENERGY: 09/09 RECHARGE: 03 =================== ACTIONS Total: 16W 02R=================== COMBAT [CLOSE] 02 ( 02R) *Base Cost AN *INT Bonus *Dirty Tactics *Street Fighting COMBAT [RANGED] 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *AGI Bonus *Thrown Items *Guns *Magic Weapons GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 03 ( 02W) *Base Cost AN+01 *INT Bonus *Arcane Theory *Magical Artifacts *Supernatural Creatures MASTERY OF MAGIC 04 ( 06W) *Base Cost AN+02 *Accumulate +01 MASTERY OF MAGIC: SUMMONING 01 ( 04W) *Base Cost AN+02 *INT Bonus +05 *Restricted to Black Magic (Invoking/Summoning Evil/Dark Entities only) -01 *Assume physical Aspects of the Invoked Patron during casting -01 SOCIAL SKILLS 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *Streetwise *Deception *Occult Circles THIEVING 04 ( 02W) *Base Cost AN *AGI or INT Bonus *Sleight of Hand *Infiltration/Exfiltration *Stealth *Evasion =================== MODIFIERS Total: 02W xxR=================== PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY ( 02R) *Base Cost 02R PRECOGNITIVE FLASHES ( 01R) *Base Cost 01R *Triggered by disturbances, annomolies, and/or presence of items/creatures/persons of mystical persuasion.

[/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:Born the secret child of Dane Whitman and the Eternal known as Sersi during their meanderings of the Time Stream, the youth would be fostered in Avalon for the early years of his life. Seperated from his native Time, and fostered to a powerful coven of Priestesses of Avalon, it was hoped that the boy might be raised free and clear of the Curse of Sir Percival. While the effects of the Curse itself seem to have been mitigated, generations of exposure to the Mystical Blade appear to have imbued a genetic mutation of sorts within the lineage. Young Dannith has a connection to the Ebony Blade that outstrips any of his predecessors. Dannith's very soul is apparently tied to the omniversal source of the Ebony Blade's power. With but a thought, he can don the regalia and armaments of the Black Knight! Free of the Blood Curse laid upon the physical blade itself, Dannith is capable of being the hero his father has always aspired to be! As his time of Majority nears, the Priestesses have conferred. He can learn no more from them isolated upon their glass isle, and to keep his potential for good locked away from the world would be anathema to their beliefs. So, now... in Time of Need, the young prince has been dispatched back to his own Time... There to take up the mantle of Dannith Whitman, College Student. The choice to enroll in the Young Avengers Program was a difficult choice. Dannith has never met his father, and he knows it will only be a matter of time before people start drawing conclusions and an introduction is arranged. How can he not join the program though? How can he not use his abilities to Fight The Good Fight? How can he not try to follow in the footsteps of his estranged father? =================== CHARACTER NAME: Dannith Seris Whitman ALIASES: Prince Dannith, Dan, Danno SPECIES: Human [Mystically Augmented] GENDER: Male HAIR: 17 EYES: Blue HEIGHT: 5'10" WEIGHT: 190 LBS =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT   =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 09W XX R=================== INT 03 ( 01W) STR 02 ( 02R) AGI 02 ( 02R) SPD 02 ( 02R) DUR 04 ( 06W) =================== VITALS=================== HEALTH: 04 ENERGY: 12/12 RECHARGE: 04/04 =================== ACTIONS Total: 22 XX R=================== COMBAT [CLOSE] 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *STR or WEAPON Bonus *Hand To Hand Combat *Medieval Weaponry *Intuitive Combat COMBAT [RANGED] 02 ( 02R) *Base Cost AN *AGI or WEAPON Bonus *Thrown Objects *Marksmanship BLESSINGS OF AVALON 04 ( 03W) *As Healing [Magic] *Base Cost AN+02 *Cannot be used in conjunction with Ebony Blade or Visage of the Black Knight -01 *Can Heal up to AN White Stones/Day at the cost of 03R each EBONY BLADE 05 ( 06W) *As Psi-Weapon *Base Cost AN+03 *No Ranged or Stun Options -01 VISAGE OF THE BLACK KNIGHT 03 ( 09W) *As Psi-Weapon [Armor Varient] *Base Cost AN+03 *No Ranged or Stun Options -01 *Cannot be used for Attack (Defense Only) -01 *Efficient +01 *No AP +01 *No x2 +01 GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 02 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN+01 *INT Bonus *History *The Occult STATE CRAFT 02 ( 02W) *Base Cost AN+02 *Free LEADERSHIP and discounted WEALTH *Strategy *Etiquette =================== MODIFIERS Total: 05W 01R=================== AVALON'S GUIDANCE ( 01R) *As Precognitive Flashes *Base Cost 01R MAGICAL DEFENSE V ( 02W) *Base Cost MN *Only When Visage of the Black Knight is active -01 PRESCIENT SENSES III ( 03W) *As Reflexive Dodge *Base Cost MN+03 *Only When Visage of the Black Knight is active -01 WEALTH II ( N/A) *Base Cost 02R *Discount from Statecraft -01 *Trust Fund Managed by the Priestesses of Avalon -01 *Net Worth 25K, Monthly Allowance $1000 =================== CHALLENGES Total: 06W XXR=================== PSYCHOLOGICAL [HONORABLE] ( 01) Dannith is a strict adherant to the old ways of Chivalry and Honor.PSYCHOLOGICAL [CTSUFTUD] ( 02) Championing the downtrodden and less fortunate is in Dannith's blood, and what he was raised to do.DEADLY ENEMIES ( 02) As a veritable Scion of the Ebony Blade itself, Dannith has attracted more than one power-hungry enemy in his handful of years already.

[/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:Even the Guardians don't dare to claim full understanding of what precisely guides a Ring to make a choice in whom shall bear it. Once they might have claimed that they did, but such idle boasts were surrendered to long ago as Rings began to select beings that fit criteria but were not all forseen. The most recent of such, and perhaps the most unexpected, Andrew Michaels. An Orphan Child from the backwater planet called Earth... Andrew is by and far the youngest being ever selected by a Ring in recorded history. When first he stepped foot on Oa, the Guardians believed the Ring to be faulty in some fashion to have selected one so young. A battery of tests revealed the child to be not without skill, yet woefully unprepared for the mantle of Green Lantern and it's accompanying responsibilities. A great deliberation ensued. As a result, Andrew was officially granted a Probationary Status within the Corps. In addition to normal training, he would be mentored by the best the Corps had to offer. Strictures would of course be placed upon him, and his growth would be monitored quite closely. Even the smallest hints of unworthiness would be all it would take to inspire a re-vote that would assuredly not go in his favor. In various interviews with the Green Lanterns assigned Mentor Duty, Andrew has been described as: Extremely Creative, Strangely Clever for a Human, a Breath of Fresh Air, Mildly Annoying, Rash, Foolish, A Prankster, Pure of Heart, and Destined For Great Things. Andrew himself hates the moniker 'Proby' that has been attached to him more than anything. The term invokes the small fear within his heart that this Home won't work out any better than the failed adoptions back on Earth had (See Challenges for more information on that)... His greatest goal in life is to prove himself worthy of being a full fledged Lantern in his own right someday... sadly, this often times inspires him to rash behavior (such as rushing off into solo heroics, or acting out in pranks against the more stern mentors). =================== CHARACTER NAME: Andrew Michaels ALIASES: 'Proby' SPECIES: Human GENDER: Male HAIR: Blonde EYES: Green HEIGHT: 5' WEIGHT: 120 LBS =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT  =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 07W XXR=================== INT 04 ( 02w) STR 02 ( 02R) AGI 02 ( 02R) SPD 02 ( 02R) DUR 03 ( 03w) =================== VITALS=================== HEALTH: 03/03 ENERGY: 09/09 RECHARGE: 03 =================== ACTIONS Total: 38W XXR=================== COMBAT [CLOSE] 02 ( 02R) *Base Cost AN *INT or Weapon Bonus *Intuitive Fighter *Construct Enhanced Combat COMBAT [RANGED] 01 ( 01R) *Base Cost AN *AGI or Weapon Bonus *Marksmanship POWER OF THE GREEN LANTERN 06 ( 35W) *Base Cost AN+13 *Requires Power Ring -02 *Power Limited via Lantern Charge -02 ***100 Stone Storage Capacity *** Recharges 100 Stones/Panel*Filtered Re-Charge 50 Stones/Panel -01 *Fear Vulnerability (paid off 01 CL) -01 *Enhanced Constructs (x2 Damage/Defense as situation merits) +02 *PROBATIONARY RESTRICTION [Defensive/Non-Violent Applications Only] -01 SOCIAL SKILLS 03 ( 02W) *Base Cost AN *Teen Culture *Earth Culture *Persuasion =================== MODIFIERS Total: 04W XXR=================== INNER WILL III ( 04W) *Base Cost MN+03 =================== CHALLENGES Total: 10W XXR=================== PROBATIONARY STATUS ( 03) Due to his abnormally young age, Andrew has been placed into a Probationary Status by the Guardians. As such, not only has his Will been chained to Defensive and Non-Violent applications, eyes are always upon him (monitoring both his words and actions). Andrew has been made well aware, the the smallest misstep would be all it took to swing votes against his continued tenure (Ring's choice or not) within the Corps.PSYCHOLOGICAL [CTSUFTUD] ( 03) An underdog himself, both in the Corps and back home on Earth where he's an orphan with a jaded past, Andrew has a well documented history for going well out of his way to champion fellow under-dogs and described 'lost causes'.PSYCHOLOGICAL [JADED PAST] ( 02) An orphan back on Earth, Andrew has been adopted twice... but both adoptions fell through (through no direct fault of his own). As such, Andrew has deeply rooted abandonment issues. While he's not afraid to stake out on his own, or stand his ground without backup... the feelings of abandonment and lonliness are emotions that have ravaged his young spirit far too many times already. The Corps has become the closest thing to a family as he's ever experienced, and living on Oa the closest thing to a stable home he's ever known.PSYCHOLOGICAL [VANITY] ( 02) Andrew is well aware that he's the youngest member of any civilization ever inducted into the Green Lantern Corps (Probationary Membership or not)... and it does occasionally inspire arrogance/pride/vanityTEEN ANGST ( 01) Unlike the majority of his peers within the Corps, Andrew is just barely into his teens... and has all of the emotional baggage accordingly, with the least experience handeling it.=================== EQUIPMENT Total: 02W XXR=================== POWER RING ( 01W) *Indestructible GREEN LANTERN( 01W) *Indestructible [/quote] |

[/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:The Tale of Dorian Gray is a fairly easy to learn, as it was immortalized in novel-form by Oscar Wilde in 1890. Artistic changes were made (most notably, modernizing the tale for the current era), but the crux of it was near fully accurate. The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Basil is impressed by Dorian's beauty and becomes infatuated with him, believing his beauty is responsible for a new mode in his art. Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Basil's, and becomes enthralled by Lord Henry's world view. Espousing a new hedonism, Lord Henry suggests the only things worth pursuing in life are beauty and fulfillment of the senses. Realizing that one day his beauty will fade, Dorian (whimsically) expresses a desire to sell his soul to ensure the portrait Basil has painted would age rather than he. Dorian's wish is fulfilled, plunging him into debauched acts. The portrait serves as a reminder of the effect each act has upon his soul, with each sin displayed as a disfigurement of his form, or through a sign of aging. The novel of course ends with Dorian's death, but in truth this was just the beginning of a new and never printed chapter of Dorian's life. Condemned to return, fully healed and whole, Dorian found that death was denied him. Even the painting was restored to it's grotesque state and unmarred from the damage he'd inflicted upon it. It would be years before Dorian learned the truth. He was indeed immortal, and to remain blessed with the countenance and virility of a man in his twenties. No death inflicted would be lasting, nor damage to the painting pervasive. It has been posited by a learned and trusted colleague, that only be embracing a life of selfless righteousness can Dorian cleanse the painting and one day find eternal rest... but such actions are in direct conflict with every fiber of Dorian's being. Tortured by the painting, Dorian strives to become a better man... and yet, his true nature is a relentless foe that wins him over more ovten than not. =================== CHARACTER NAME: Dorian Gray ALIASES: N/A SPECIES: Human GENDER: Male HAIR: Brown EYES: Brown HEIGHT: 5'10" WEIGHT: 180 LBS =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT  =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 07W XXR=================== INT 04 ( 02w) STR 02 ( 02R) AGI 02 ( 02R) SPD 02 ( 02R) DUR 03 ( 01W) =================== VITALS =================== HEALTH: 03 ENERGY: 09/09 RECHARGE: 03 =================== ACTIONS Total: 08W 01R=================== COMBAT [CLOSE] 01 ( 01R) *Base Cost AN *INT Bonus or Weapon Bonus *Bartitsu COMBAT [RANGED] 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *INT Bonus or Weapon Bonus *Marksmanship *Called Shots *Trick Shots GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 02 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN+01 *INT Bonus *Academia *GeoPolitical Sciences SOCIAL SKILLS 05 ( 03w) *Base Cost AN *Persuasion/Charm *Temptation/Seduction *Socialite *Etiquette *Well-Connected/Contacts LEADERSHIP 02 ( 03w) *Base Cost AN *AREA EFFECT +03 =================== MODIFIERS Total: 09W 02R=================== IMMORTAL ( 02W) *Existance is tied to The Painting -01 PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY ( 02R) RECONSTITUTE SELF ( 06W) *Existance is tied to The Painting -01 WEALTH IV ( 01W) *Base Cost 02W *Heavily Invested (Requires time for liquidation/large purchases) -01 *NetWorth Millionare (impressive given the era, hence the above drawback) *Monthly Income $20,000 =================== CHALLENGES Total: 05W XXR=================== PSYCHOLOGICAL [EXTREME VANITY] ( 02) Described as text-book narcissistic, Dorian Gray is convinced of his own superiority in every concievable way.LEVERAGED SOUL ( 01) With a seemingly whimsical wish, Dorian entered unwittingly into a Faustian-Pact; Forever young, and unable to die, Dorian's very soul has been anchored to this world and stored within the infamous Painting by Basil Hallward. The painting, seemingly indestructible, mirrors every vice and sin that Dorian has ever committed... A brutal reminder, that for all his charm and good looks, he is inside an ugly and twisted being. In recent years, Dorian has discovered that acts of selflessness, righteousness, and good have begun to remove the vile blemishes~ Thus inspiring him to heroics he might otherwise never have aspired.DEADLY ENEMIES ( 02) One doesn't simply exist for hundreds of years and not piss anyone off, especially not one such as Dorian. Never one to filter his words, show mercy in business or fun, nor tenderly break off relations with the women who catch his eye, Dorian has wronged a great number of people in his existance to date (many of which hold influential ties in powerful circles). The full range of broken hearts, disgruntled siblings/parents/lovers, vengeful siblings/parents/lovers//Children/ex-'s, etc. While he tends to outlive such things, inconveniences stemming from such past wrong-doings are prone to appear in the most inconvenient of times.=================== EQUIPMENT Total: XX W XX R=================== SWORD-CANE III PISTOL III *x2 PORTRAIT OF DORIAN GRAY *Indestructable *An 'Age' line appears with every moral sin, removed only by acts of selflessness and/or righteous acts of good/heroics HOMES/VEHICLES *Has houses, companies, and resources dotted around the globe.

Ever since his twelfth birthday, when the timely manifestation of his powers enabled him to save a group of trapped miners... Sam was thrust into the world of things far beyond what anyone his age should ever be forced to deal with. Luckily, Sam has always been graced with the best of friends to face those trials and tribulations with. Mutants and Mundanes alike, Sam has never been short on friends, and often those friendships have lead him into locations or situations he might otherwise have avoided at all costs. Almost his entire life, Sam has been fighting for Xaviers Dream. Fighting to help stave off Cable's nightmares. Fighting to protect Family and Friends. Always it seemed to be following one man or another, sometimes having to choose one goal above others. There came a time, when Cannonball would find himself alone. Convinced his friends had all died, and the battle had well and truly been lost. It was suring this dark time that Cain found him. The two clashed at first, and Sam was near mortally wounded from the collision (only Cain's decision to give him the Gem, and name him a worthy successor, saved the youths life. Even still, Same quickly learned that something inside had been damaged... without the Gem his Thermokinetic Blasting ability could and would rage with disasterous potency.

The Eye, of course, stays here...and so does Doc. I get so lonely..." As recompense for his recent affronts (both towards Galactus, and the planet Earth which has fallen under his protection), the humbled Agamotto has been restored to life and enslaved to Galactus as one of his newest of Heralds. Locked into a form far distant from his natural morphic one, and deprived of Power, Memory, Resources, and even parts of his Identity, the entity known as Vestige is all that remains of the once mighty Vishanti Patron and former Sorcerer Supreme. =================== CHARACTER NAME: Vestige ALIASES: Agamotto, Scion of Oshtur and Hoggoth, Sorcerer Supreme (The first/original)-Ex SPECIES: Unique GENDER: Male HAIR: Unknown EYES: Unknown HEIGHT: 5'11" WEIGHT: 190 LBS =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT  =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 29W XXR=================== INT 06 ( 04W) STR 05 ( 03W) AGI 05 ( 03W) SPD 05 ( 03W) DUR 04 ( 06W) =================== VITALS=================== HEALTH: 04 ENERGY: 12 RECHARGE: 06 =================== ACTIONS Total: 84W XXR=================== COMBAT [CLOSE] 05 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *INT Bonus or Weapon Bonus *Counter-Attack Only -02 *Intuitive Defense *Adaptive Techniques *Melee Weapons COMBAT [RANGED] 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *Weapon Bonus *Thrown Objects *Marksmanship *Ranged Weapons GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 06 ( 06W) *Base Cost AN+01 *INT Bonus *Academia *Occult Lore *Galactic GeoPolitical Science *Galactic Lore *Galactic Cartography *Galactic Phenomena SOCIAL SKILLS 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *Galactic Cultures *Psionic Culture *Herald Protocol TELEKINESIS 06 ( 09W) *Base Cost AN+02 *Telepathy Discount -01 *INT Bonus +02 TELEKINETIC FORCEFIELDS 02 ( 12W) *Base Cost AN+03 *Telekinesis Discount -01 *INT Bonus +05 TELEPATHY 10 ( 55) *Base Cost AN *INT Bonus +02 *Astral Projection w/Body +02 *Project Thoughts / Control Others / Illusions +02 *Reflect Mental Attacks +02 *Repair Minds +01 *Telepathic Communications +01 *Cannot Improve with LoE (Mental Block) -02 =================== MODIFIERS Total: 81W XXR=================== HERALDIC GIFT [EXTENDED LIFE / IMMORTALITY] ( FREE) HERALDIC GIFT [SELF CONTAINED LIFE FORM] ( FREE) VESTIGIAL LINGUISTICS ( 02W) *As Translation [Normal] VESTIGES OF PROEMIAL MIGHT VIII ( 40W) *MN x2 Free Red Stones per Panel *Base Cost MN+07 VESTIGES OF PROEMIAL INTELLECT V ( 15) *As Psychocentric Template *Base Cost MN+05 VESTIGES OF PROEMIAL VIRILITY ( 09W) *As Healing Factor [Accelerated] *Base Cost DN+04 *Regenerate 01W/02Panels *Regenerate 03R/02w VESTIGES OF THE ALL SEEING ( 15W) *As Cosmic Awareness + Precognitive Visions =================== CHALLENGES Total: 20W XXR=================== INDENTURED SERVITUDE ( 03) In exchange for his resurrection, and for his offenses, Agamotto has been stripped of Power, Identity, Memory, and even his native form.ECHOES OF THE PAST ( 03) Vestige recalls enough of who he was, and what he did to warrant Galactus' ire (if not his other, more heinous crimes), but all other memories are elusive and fleeting.NIGHTMARES OF FUTURES PAST ( 03) Vestige is plagued with dreams of portent, mingled with nightmares of dark futures averted or yet possible.

Further, as Herald of Galactus, Vestige has inherited a whole new ensamble of the deadliest enemies in the universe.PSYCHOLOGICAL [HUMBLED]( 03) Vestige knows he was once a MUCH greater being, but has been humbled by one he'd believed to be his inferior and now indentured into servitude.=================== EQUIPMENT Total: =================== HERALD ARMOR I *Base Cost FREE HERALD GAUNTLET *Base Cost FREE *Allows for 3D rendering of Stellar Cartogrophical Data *Allows for Signaling Galactus [/quote] |

[/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:When Apocalypse began his rise to Power, Peter foresaw that he might not survive the coming days. Concern for his family, and home, inspired him to actions he might not otherwise have ever considered. Utilizing the Jackal's long abandoned and forgotten Cloning Facilities... Peter created a DoomsDay Protocol. A singular clone, engineered from samples of his own DNA (Modified ever so sleightly, so as to ensure there wouldn't be a repeat of the horrific Clone Incident... something that still gave Peter the heebie-jeebies). Given a neural imprint of his lifes memories to date, the clone was left in stasis. When, or if, it ever awoke, it would know why it was created. It would know what it had to do. It would know of the Legacy it was expected to uphold. When Parker woke, he knew all of this. It took him a few hours to digest the truth, and to come to accept that he was not the real Peter Parker. After choosing a name for himself, he located the Equipment Drop he'd secreted away nearby. Within, he found a new costume. Something different than Peter had ever worn; Further distinguishing himself. Finally, when garbed and of sound mind, he ventured forth... prepared to live up to the Legacy. To do great things with the gifts he'd been given, and to fight the good fight until he couldn't do so anymore. =================== CHARACTER NAME: SPYDER ALIASES: Parker Reilly SPECIES: Mutant/Clone GENDER: Male HAIR: Brown EYES: Hazel HEIGHT: 5'10" WEIGHT: 167 LBS =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT  =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 18W XXR=================== INT 04 ( 02W) STR 04 ( 02w) AGI 06 ( 06w)*Efficient SPD 04 ( 02W) DUR 04 ( 06W) =================== VITALS=================== HEALTH: 04/04 ENERGY: 12/12 RECHARGE: 06 =================== ACTIONS Total: 17W 01R=================== ACROBATICS 03 ( 02W) *Base Cost AN *AGI Bonus *Efficient +01 COMBAT [CLOSE] 03 ( 04W) *Base Cost AN *AGI Bonus or Weapon Bonus *X2 Damage +02 *Efficient +01 *Trained by Peter Parker (Virtual Simulator) *Intuitive Fighter *Adaptive Techniques COMBAT [RANGED] 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *Weapon Bonus *Trained by Peter Parker (Virtual Simulator) *Thrown Objects *Webbing Tricks GENERAL KNOWELDGE 03 ( 02W) *Base Cost AN+01 *INT Bonus *Peter Parker Memory Imprint *Academia *Physical Sciences SOCIAL SKILLS 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *Teen Culture *Distracting Banter *Instigation MUTAGENIC WEBBING 03 ( 03W) *As Tendril-Whip *Base Cost AN+02 *May Combine with Ranged Combat Actions +01 WALL-CRAWLING 01 ( 01R) *Base Cost AN *AGI Bonus *1R to Cling *Max Spd 75MPH (4R) WEB-SLINGING 06 ( 04W) *Base Cost AN *Requires Mutagenic Webbing -01 *Efficient +01 *01R = 20MPH, 02R = 40MPH, 03R = 80MPH, 04R = 125 MPH (Max possible). *Additional Stones for Extra Weight/Passengers =================== MODIFIERS Total: 19W 02R=================== HEALING FACTOR [ACCELERATED] ( 09W) *Base Cost DN+04 *1W/2P 03R/2W PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY ( 02R) *Base Cost 02R REFLEXIVE DODGE II ( 03W) *Base Cost MN+03 SPIDER SENSES ( 04) *As Limited Prescience [Acrobatics] *Base Cost 04W TOUGHNESS I ( 03W) *Base Cost MN+03 *No x2 =================== CHALLENGES Total: 15W XXR=================== WITH GREAT POWER... ( 05) Literally hardcoded into Parker's being, is the Legacy of Spiderman (or Uncle Ben in truth). With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility.FRACTURED MEMORIES ( 02) Although imprinted with Peter Parkers memories, it's not always the easiest to sift through them. Having no personal time codex to map them with they're sometimes disjointed or inaccurate in comparison to other memories that might have occurred before/after.CLONE ( 03) As one can imagine, Peter's death did not go unwitnessed. Friends of Peter may take unkindly to another donning the identity (luckily a different costume will help soften that particular shock). HOWEVER, due to Apocalypse's use of Clones towards the end, such heritage leads to it's own negative stigma and distrust.INHERITED ENEMIES ( 03) Altered costume or not, Parker has already been confused for Spiderman on more than one occassion, and as such has had to deal with enemies of his progenitor. Countless more exist that he knows of, still more were made AFTER the imprint that forms Parker's 'memories'.PSYCHOLOGICAL [RECKLESS] ( 02) Parker knows that he's a clone, and as such, finds his own life and wellbeing to be valued FAR less than any human or mutants. As such, he is borderline reckless at times in his attempts to safeguard others from harm... seemingly uncaring of fallout or personal safety risks.=================== EQUIPMENT Total: XX W XX R=================== [/quote] |

[/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:Not many beings can say they were born to purpose, and of those few who can, fewer still can say they know what that purpose is. Mal is one such individual. In the days before the Great Floods, great beings known as Nephilim roved the lands. Hailed as Giants among Men and Heroes of The People. Fathered by Angels and birthed by Mortals, they were intended to wage the war that Angels themselves were forbidden. For a time, the strategy worked. The Nephilim rised as Champions of The People, and took the battle to The Adversary in a manner unprecedented. In awe of their might, Man grew to fear and mistrust their heroes. Soon, Nephilim inspired the adage: "Die A Hero, Or Live Long Enough To Be Seen As Another Enemy". How or why is a matter for speculation, but Mankind eventually grew to mistrust their Heroes. They turned upon them. Some took extremest measures towards the Nephilim, and in their defense, the Nephilim spilled innocent blood. The ensuing wars corrupted many souls of Mortal and Nephilim alike. The Angels cried out to God for an intervention, lest their children inadvertently destroy the very world they sought to save. The strife did not end until The Great Flood; The Cataclysmic Purge cleansed the world of the Nephilim. Of those who survived, accountings are vague. It is suggested that they carry on their battles still to this day, only from the shadows now. Of Nephilim born since, few survive their age of majority. Hunted from the moment of their birth by enemies from either side of the spectrum, the existence of a Nephilim is one of the most lonely imaginable. Those Nephilim who do survive long enough, are often so entrenched in their experiences that they fall to the corruptive manipulations of The Adversary... and become instead weapons for the Enemy. As such, Angels have grown cautious and reserved about the Act of Nephilic Imbument. No known histories record all, or even most, of those few thatl occur. The one of most importance to the tale of Malvery, would be his mother... and Church Records do indeed exist to verify it's occurrence.  Cathleen WilhelmMalvery's mother was hand-selected. A woman of virtue, raised within a secret order of 'Hunters' within the Catholic Church. Cathleen has been labeled a modern paragon; A Valkyrie of the Lord so to speak. Born and raised within the Vatican, much like her son she knew her calling from the moment she was of sufficient age to be made to understand. She was infamous in Europe, an expert within her field; Labeled as Best of the Best... It was she they called when things were at their worst. Never did she turn from her duty, nor turn from those in need. When immaculate conception came upon her, she accepted her unspoken charge... Raised from infancy by his mortal mother, she harbored no secrets from her son. She was a huntress of demons, sanctioned on behalf of the Holy Pope himself. Her relationship with the Church took a bit of a hit when they discovered her angelic tryst, and many sought to decry her blasphemous accordingly. She went on the low, but was unwilling to give up her holy quest. When she died, Mal followed in her footsteps. He traveled the world, hunting down monsters and helping those in need. Friends and enemies alike were made, cultivated, and lost. Death itself was courted on more than on occasion, and the brink of armageddon itself staved off at least twice. Since then, he has wandered the nation... finding no end to supernatural evils and 'jobs' with which to occupy his time. =================== CHARACTER NAME: Malvery Wilhelm ALIASES: Mal SPECIES: Nephilim GENDER: Male HAIR: Shaved EYES: Blue HEIGHT: 5'11" WEIGHT: 190 LBS =================== IMAGE/PORTRAIT  =================== ABILITY SCORES Total: 14W XXR=================== INT 04 ( 02w) STR 05 ( 03w) AGI 06 ( 06W) *Efficient SPD 05 ( 03w) =================== VITALS Total: 13W XXR=================== HEALTH: 05 ( 03w) ENERGY: 15 ( 01W) RECHARGE: 08 ( 09W) =================== ACTIONS Total: 23W XX R=================== BLACK OPS 03 ( 02W) *Base Cost AN+01 *Intelligence Gathering *Covert Ops/SAR *Evasion COMBAT [CLOSE] 06 ( 06W) *Base Cost AN *AGI Bonus or Weapon Bonus *Efficient +01 *Intuitive Combatant *Adaptive Techniques *Krav Maga *Transpatial Combat (Teleportational) *Pressure Points *Melee Weapons COMBAT [RANGED] 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *Weapon Bonus *Marksmanship *Thrown Items/Weapons *Gun-Fu FAITH HEALING 04 ( 04W) *01R to Heal 01R (03r/01w) up to AN/W per day *Base Cost AN+02 GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 04 ( 03W) *Base Cost AN+01 *INT Bonus *Academia *World History *Religion/Mythology *Occult SOCIAL SKILLS 04 ( 02W) *Base Cost AN *Multi-Lingual (English, Italian, Latin, Hebrew, German, American-English) *Immortal Culture(s) *Streetwise *Religious Circles HUNTING/TRACKING 03 ( 01W) *Base Cost AN *Stalk/Track *Wilderness Survival *Detect Ambush TELEPORTATION 06 ( 04W) *Base Cost AN+02 *May Combine with Combat +01 *Efficient +01 *Range 3 Miles -01 *Must Pay Stones per Guest -01 *Cannot Improve via LoE -02 =================== MODIFIERS Total: 22W 01R=================== DIVINE GUIDANCE ( 01R) *As Precognitive Visions *Base Cost 01R DIVINE INTUITION III ( 01W) *As Animal Senses *Base Cost MN DIVINE PROVISIONS ( 03W) *As Self Contained Life Form *Base Cost 03W DIVINE REFLEXES III ( 03W) *As Reflexive Dodge *Base Cost MN+03 *Animal Senses Discount -01 DIVINE RESILIENCE III ( 06W) *As Toughness *Base Cost MN+03 *No x2 +01 IMMORTALITY ( 01W) *Base Cost 01W RECONSTITUTE SELF ( 08W) *As Reconstitute Self *Base Cost 08W =================== CHALLENGES Total: 18W XX R=================== NEPHILIM ( 03) Push comes to shove, Mal just isn't human. There's a vibe about him, some respond well to... others... not so much.PSYCHOLOGICAL [CTSUFTUD] ( 05) All of his long life, Mal has felt the undeniable need to champion the less fortunate, defend the innocent, and stick for for those in need. It's lead him into trouble well above his 'paygrade' on more occasions than he cares to count.HAUNTED PAST ( 03) Mal has lived more in his twenty-eight years than most men do in three lifetimes. He's seen more than his fair share, and then some, of death and loss. Countless friends, colleagues, enemies, and even lovers have all been lost to him. His own mother was tortured and slain before his very eyes at the age of twelve, her dying words prayers of forgiveness and resolve for the psychofantic priest.DEADLY ENEMIES ( 03) While he's outlived his fair share, Mal can count amongst the immortal more than one foe who might whish him dead or worse. His active engagement in thwarting the Adversary and it's minions at every turn only serves to incur still more enemies.MISTRUSTED BY HIS PEERS ( 02) Mal was born of a union between Angel and Human. Such things have been frowned upon since the Pre-Flood days of history. Angels are forbidden direct interference in the struggle, yet some brazenly walk the fine gray line by fathering such bastard children. Divine Judgement has never fallen on Angels for such trysts, but too many Nephelim were once the cause of great wars upon Earth (and reputedly, the consequent cleansing floods). As such, Mal's reltions with Mortals and Immortals alike will range on the extreme ends of the spectrums of trust... rarely can anyone maintain an open mind, or stance of neutrality once Mal's true nature is revealed.FUGITIVE ( 02) As often happens in the war versus the supernatural, Mal has run afoul of Mortal Law on numerous occasions. Many states currently have a man of his build, and description, on their Wanted Boards.=================== EQUIPMENT Total: 06W XXR=================== MALVERY'S ANGELIC BLADE V ( 06W) *Base Cost MN+01 *Indestructable +01 *Attuned/Summonable At Will +01 *x2 Damage Vs.

[/SIZE][/u] =================== (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:Born in 1981, James Rhoades Jr. has seen the world change drastically multiple times over. Such innovations were made all the more miraculous, being privy to his fathers innovations at Stark Industries. In the early 90's, his father became reclusive. Work took a precedence that really hurt their relationship. When his mother left, James blamed his father. Despite having graduated a year early, and at the top of his class, James lost all interest in collegiate opportunities or his child-hood dreams of one day working alongside his father in the prestigious R&D department at Stark Industries. Highly competitive offers of the best education money could buy via Stark Industries Scholarships were laid before him... but James turned his back on them, as something he just no longer desired. Instead, he enlisted in the US Navy. By the end of his first tour, he'd fast-tracked himself into the SEAL's program. As seemingly unrealistic as such aspirations might be considered... he'd managed to impress all the right people~ All through his own merit, something he was very adamant about ensuring. Still more surprising, was his pursuit of a degree in Advanced Weapons Engineering. In 2005, James was one of two surviving members of the spear-head recon force in Operation Red Wings. Critically wounded, his presence and consequent survival of the infamous action were later classified for undisclosed reasons. After a year of physical rehabilitation, it was deemed that he'd never have full range of motion in his arms again. Medical Boards convened to determine the future of his career given this minor physical impediment. Four appeals later, he lost his rating. On the verge of requesting a full discharge, his CO came to him with an offer. The Department of Defense had recently brokered a deal with Tony Stark, a man of James' acquaintance. As part of this deal, a dedicated liaison position had been created to correspond directly with their R&D. Given his record, and current intents, they were offering him a commission if he'd accept the position. A commission would enable him to retain an official SEAL designation if not his specific job, as the Officer side of the spectrum held a different description and subsequent requirements and options. Forty-Eight hours later, James accepted the position. At the very worst, it would be three years... and he could put in for an in-job transfer and again see action alongside his fellow SEALS. The first three weeks were turbulent, as he and his father sought to re-establish a working dynamic. Tony was... Tony, albeit surprisingly benevolent and nice. James found himself begrudgingly liking the man for more than just his heroic alter-self. A month later, James was shown footage of a so called 'counter-terrorism action' deemed highly classified (referred to only as the 'Asgardian Incident' behind closed doors). In the seemingly impossibly footage, James witnessed the event which had actually inspired Tony's willingness to bring a Liaison onboard in an official full-time capacity. He'd been seriously injured for the first time since donning the Iron Man armor. Invincible Iron Man Armor or not, being hit with an Uru Plated Fist can shatter ribs easily enough. In taking on the Liaison, Tony had acquiesced to restarting a handful of Defense Development Programs. In exchange, he'd been given the remnants of the alien automotan that he and the being called Thor had vanquished before the Asgardian returned to his home... whatever. The automotan had been sufficiently potent to stand up to Iron Man and Thor combined. Tony felt it held precisely the sort of tech that would be needed in the days to come. Worried that for all his good intentions and pretty words, Thor might merely be the 'exception' rather than the 'norm' of Asgardian intentions towards Earth... James Sr. has since been working tirelessly to create the Thunderstrike suit. A suit designed to be the successor to Iron Man in the coming months, provided an agreeably trustworthy candidate could be mutually identified between Stark Industries and the DoD. It had come as no surprise to the Joint Chiefs, that Tony's nomination would be his Godson and Heir Apparent... Nor did it come as a surprise to the billionaire CEO that he was ideal to their minds as well given his long-standing fall-out with his father AND his avid demonstration of Core Values. =================== CHARACTER NAME: Thunderstrike ALIASES: James 'Rhoady' Rhoades JR SPECIES: Human GENDER: Male HAIR: Shaved EYES: Brown HEIGHT: 5'11" WEIGHT: 190 LBS AGE: 30 ===================  AROMOR ARTWORK STILL BEING TWEAKED =================== ATTRIBUTES =================== INT 04 INT 07 STR 03 STR 06 AGI 03 AGI 06 SPD 03 SPD 05 =================== VITALS =================== HEALTH: 03 HEALTH: 04 ENERGY: 09 ENERGY: 21 RECHARGE: 06 RECHARGE 09 =================== ACTIONS =================== BLACK OPS 04 *Covert Ops/SAR *Infiltration/Exfiltration *Survival Behind Enemy Lines *Intelligence Gathering COMBAT [CLOSE] 03 *STR & Weapon Bonus *SEAL Training *Melee Weapons *Power Armor Combat COMBAT [RANGED] 05 *Weapon Bonus *Marksmanship *Sniper Training *Called Shots *Trick Shots *Power Armor Combat GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 05 *INT Bonus *Academia *Global Military Protocols *Advanced Weapons Engineering *StarkTech *Norse Culture and Mythos SOCIAL SKILLS 03 *Global Military Etiquette *Intimidation *Government Liaison Protocol TECHNOLOGY 04 *INT Bonus VEHICLE OPERATION 05 *All Military Grade Vehicles (Land/Sea/Air) *Commercial Vehicles *Navigation *Tactical High Speed Maneuvering *Vehicular Weapon Systems PA STARKTECH VTOL REPULSOR SYSTEMS 07 *As Flight *Works in Water at 1/2 AN PA STARKTECH REPULSOR GAUNTLETS 06 *As Force Blast *Can Combine with Ranged Combat PA ASGARDIAN-TECH WEAPONS ARRAY 06 *Chest-Piece Uru-Forged ARC Reactor *As Mastery of Electricity *Immunity to Element (Including Full EM Shielding) *Create/Manipulate *Accumulate *Force Blast or Omni-Directional Electrification/EM Pulse (AoE) =================== MODIFIERS =================== TRUST FUND V *Currently Heir apparent to Stark Industries PA URU-PLATED EXOSKELETON IV *No x2 Damage *No AP *Mystic Self Repair (01W/02P) PA STARKTECH AI ASSIST HUD IV *Cybernetic Senses at MN *Targeting at 1/2 MN *General Knowledge at MN PA LIFE SUPPORT *2Hours PA COLLAPSIBLE *Retracts to Uru lattice worn under clothing *Shreds clothing/outer-wear when activated PA RESTRICTED USE *Attuned to Rhoady PA STARKTECH MINI-MUNITIONS LAUNCHERS IV *Retractible *Two Panels to Reload *Heatseeking and Countermeasure Munitions *x3 Damage =================== EQUIPMENT =================== TECHNOMAGICAL HAMMER *"We're not entirely certain what this does..." -Colson[/quote] |
