Name: Garrett Shephard
Nickname(s): none
Race: human
Age: 32
Height: 5'10"
Appearance: Physically fit, shaved head, blue eyes. (image)

Power(s): As Garrett, super durability. "The Powers That Be" won't allow him to die. Can slowly lift an extreme amount of weight. Muscle fibers don't tear.
Weakness(s): Garrett has a daughter, whom he loves to a fault. Garrett always has the voice of Fate in the back of his head.
Personality: Quiet and determined. Kind. Shows respect to all who respect him.

Background: Ever since he was a child, Garrett Shephard has had two voices in his head. One voice always told him to do the kind thing, and the other voice was more pressing and unforgiving. Garrett learned to put up with these two voices and mostly listened to the kinder one.

After college, Garrett felt led to be a New York state trooper. He wanted to protect those who were innocent. In the joy of being accepted as a trooper, he married Anne, his college sweetheart. Shortly after, Anne gave birth to their daughter, Faith.

At twenty six, Garrett decided to go into SWAT, the special weapons and tactics team. He showed promise in the area of marksmanship and became a sharpshooter. After five years on SWAT, Garrett was quite experienced. He had handled everything from belligerent drunks to assassination attempts.

One day, Garrett was called to a bank robbery that had turned into a hostage situation. During the incident, a stray bullet passed through Garrett's left lung, just inches away from his heart. He was immediately taken to the hospital. The heart beats became more and more sporadic until they finally stopped. During these few seconds, Garrett passed over to the other side. Here, he was confronted by several beings beyond explanation. They explained to him that he has been chosen, since birth, to help them bring people to justice. After humans die, they cross over to the next realm and are judged by how they lived their lives. These powerful beings have given Garrett the these two voices to see if he could live his life well and control the voices. They explain that they have given him the power to become the personification of his other voice. This creature is given powers based on his emotions. Fate, as the beings called him, is responsible for killing those who would harm the innocent and bringing them to the beings, so that they can be judged for their crimes. After this explanation, the beings brought him back to life. Garrett decided to let the doctors think they they had revived him.

After Garrett learns of his new duty, he tells his family and friends that he cannot take the stress of being a SWAT member after the incident, and quits his job. He moves out of New York and becomes a security guard. Anne, fed up with his life change, divorces him. Anne and Garrett now have joint custody of Faith. He uses the fact that he is not in the spot light as his disguise.

Background: none

Name: Seth Oak

Nickname(s):

Race: Human (Enhanced)

Age: Twenty-Three Years Old

Height: 5'11"

Appearance: Seth is normally a very laid back and reserved young man, which is especially unusual for an Irish-man. But he has an uncanny ability to draw attention to himself via a unknown quantity in his blood. He usually wears some pair of jeans, whether they be blue or gray. Above such, he usually dawns the attire of a dress-shirt accompanied with a vest. His hair is black and usually unkept and his eyes are a deep blue. He doesn't shave very often, so he tends to have somewhat gruff all the time.

Power(s): Fast-Twitch Muscles - Multiple coiled muscle tendons enable temporary, high-speed, superhuman strength.

Durability - Enables Seth to take incredible damage in the form of being beat, smashed, thrown, etc.

Electric Beam - Enables Seth to generate municipal electricity and focus it into the palm of his hand, allowing him to release or "fire" a solid beam of electricity from his hand.

Battle Sense/Reaction - Enables Seth to instinctually predict when something bad is about to happen. This as well increases his reaction time, allowing him to react faster than any normal human.

Weakness(s): Claustrophobia - Fear of Small Spaces

Enochlophobia - Fear of Crowds

Durability Downfall - He is not impenetrable. Bullets, blades, sharp objects, most can still penetrate and injure Seth.

Fast-Twitch Downfall - He cannot sustain superstrength. It is impossible for him to hold up a car for any given length of time.


Personality: Generally, an introvert in public. He does have a liking to the outgoing scene as well, just not as outgoing as the usual partying Irishmen of his home. He has a tendency to talk a lot and say odd things when he first meets someone he is attracted to or just finds them to be a friendly person. He's very aware of it, but can't quite figure out how to stop it. The only time he ever really is up and at'em like a true Irishman is when he's angry and he's not very subtle. Most of the time, he just forgets words when he's truly angry and goes for settling things with fists. He is also aware of this, which is why usually does his best to avoid confrontation when he knows it'll cause a fight. However, sometimes it just can't be helped.

Background: Gene sequences, DNA strands, they're the key to making Super-Soldiers. And government and military are always looking to for the perfect soldier of tomorrow. And this was the reasoning behind Seth Oak's transformation. But, we'll get into that later.

For now, our story begins in a small city just a few miles away from Ireland's main city: Dublin. This small city is where Seth Oak was born and raised. He was and remains to be an only child, son of Lee Oak (an American) and Rebecca McFairland (an Irish woman).

Life was simple at first for Seth. In the beginning, he was kept safe from harm and taught acceptance to all ways of living and religion. He was never encouraged to cause a fight at school, but always being taught how to be aware of those around him and how to defend himself through simple self-defense. And later on, more complicated martial arts.

It was in later years in Ireland, during the equivalent grade as Amercian Junior High School, Seth seemed to gain a knack for getting into occasional quarrels with students that were most of the time bigger as well as stronger than him. It was during this period of his life that his father, Lee, began to teach him the Indonesian martial art form known as Pentiak Silat. It is a very deadly and very front fighting style that focuses on frontal attacks mostly, but also trains heavily in melee weapons training as well as throws. Needless to say, he became the quiet kid at school you didn't go bother unless you had an extremely valid reason.

The equivalent to American High School years were passing easily enough for Seth with not many surprises. The only that threw him a curveball was Tessa, his first love. Life had been so simple. Seth operated only with a few good friends, who he didn't even get a chance to hang out with extremely often. Most of the time, he was at the house helping his mother or father out most of the time. But Tessa...she was a whole new variable in his life that he wasn't expecting at the time. She was everything he ever dreamed of: red haired, pale skin, green eyed beauty. His senior year passes and Tessa decides to go to America to go to College. Naturally, since Tessa is the best thing that has happened to him, he decides to follow her. Unfortunately, he isn't able to ride on the same plane as her due to a mix-up on the flight. Fate, it seems had something in mind for Seth.

He arrived a full week later in New York City. And this is where a private company of the government finally got to lay their hands on Seth...literally. The moment he stepped outside the airport, he was thrown into a cab and blindfolded as well as gagged and tied.

Later, he arrived somewhere unbeknownst to him and the blindfold was taken off, he was thrown into a small warehouse room with a single light. Men came in and injected something into the back of his head. The next thing he knew, he was throwing up what looked like black sphagetti. It grew and encased him as he fell to the floor. Over a period of three days, the encasing virus broke down Seth's entire body and built it back up, making it stronger and re-configuring it.

However, after the three days were up, something unexpected happened. Peaceful and quiet Seth Oak went beserk. The men came in expecting to deal with a man who was robbed of his nutrients over three days. But what they forgot, was that the virus intraveneously fed him. With his new abilities, he fought his way out. Too quick and too strong for the normal homo sapiens, he tore out of the facility and just kept running, doing his best to get away from whoever had captured him. However, he didn't escape without grabbing a profile on himself and deciding to read it later, to discover why he was captured.

After hours of running and for some reason not tiring and finally getting to phone, he called Tessa...only to have someone on the other line who said "You'll never escape." So, he of course tried to escape. After a few days of searching and getting acquainted, he discovered he was still in New York somehow and he managed to sneak onto a plain that was heading back to Ireland.

Years have passed and he's resising in Dublin, Ireland, figuring the more of crowd around him the more elusive he'll be to whoever had came after him. And he finally read his profile that he stole fro mthe facility and learned that he was not a normal human. That he had certain gene sequence that was compatible with a virus only known as the LAZARUS Serum.

Name: Ash Risakie
Nickname(s): Ash, sweet rapture
Race: Human
Age: 17
Height:5' 7"
Appearance: long curly red hair, green eyes, slinder build
Power(s): Can steal different powers from people ( a lot like rouge), and can fly.
Weakness(s) take too much power she dies, power only last for a little while depeanding on how much she takes, crap load of personality flaws (will get into detail in posts), cannot touch others with super powers, and weakends normal humans.
Personality: Loves to party, likes other's though is usually shy and very quiet around those she doesn't know (unless drunk)
Background: She grew up in the New York, New York, to semi-wealthy parents. Her's was a life seemingly of luxery, with money all the time, extravagant parties to attend because of her parents jobs,and essentually Ash could buy whatever she wanted. But behind the sences, her life wasn't so perfect. Her parents, both druggies to the extream, fought all the time, and of course inside their own little world both had affaires left and right, even to the point that they let their affaires live in their house with both Ash and her little sister influenced by it all. Around the age of 14, Ash began to notice a change in her body: she would touch something and it would seem to become weaker. Around 16 Her power manifested and Ash had to learn how to deal with it, almost killing a cat while petting it, and almost sending herself to the hospital.

When this happened Ash took off, running, grabbing all of her money, and leaving to go find help. During those few months up till her birthdaym Ash sought help, and soon she found she had a grip of her power, but it still took a lot of control to keep it in watch. For the most part Ash keeps herself wrapped up in different clothes, that way she wouldn't hurt anyone or thing, and she could go on with her life, enjoying the freedom, her life on the road has granted her.

Every now and again Ash pops up to her family, mostly to get cash, and spend time with her sister.

ok now that we have the characters, first off what do we want the rp to be about? i know i want it to be right after Zack is getting back from Japan and finishing his training in the dojo...so he is going to start his crime fighting phase when he gets back to the America's... SOOOOO, where do we want to be, i vote not east coast because well...marvel and dc kinda revolve totally around there...i think it would be more original to be somewhere else...so i was thinking either west coast....or like las vegas, or another BIG city...or we could make up our own huge city....if we do that it might be easier....

BUT yeah after we plan that out, really all we have to decide is the main story...i dont want it to be about my chars back ground...or atleast not yet.

A made-up/mythical city sounds good to me. Definitely something that is sinful and with a lot of buildings. Now, I just gotta figure out a reason for Seth to get over to America again as well.

i agree lets make something completly new

and w00t! i am the youngest! hehehe

Agreed, a fake place is a good idea. And I agree that we should have a sinful place. My guy will have already been operating there for a year or so, and he would be wherever those who deserve judgment would live. But I agree with Scott about the city needing big buildings. I say we make it a mixture of Vegas and New York City. I'm not good with names, though.

ok well, dats cool... im glad we all agree on one thing that will make it easier, cam and i will com up with a name so dont worry about that BUT we still need a main story line, we dont have to follow any ones main story line or anything. we could just go ahead and start petty crime fighting...

Let's not follow my guy's story for a while. To be honest, I don't know where he's going yet... so I need to play with him for a while and get the feel for his story.

And so when is this gonna get started?

well we kinda need to bring up an idea of what the storyline will be otherwise it will be basically all one fight with no plot...i think we need a basic storylin...

ok so cam and ryan and i talked about it and we think we have an idea for the storyline, and the city.

the storyline would basically start as we are all in the town, ryans character is already here, rapture and mine will be arriving on a plane from japan, and cam's from ireland.

the massive metropolis will be called Les Infants Terribles ( which is french for the terrible children) the city will be corrupt to the core and evil will fill the streets.

the main enemy will be the mayor who runs everything, the town is controlled by the mayor who controls the mafia's of the town, the mafia's run the gangs, the gangs run the drugs and arms trade in the city which is spread to everyone, there is a prostitute on every street murders arnt even put in the papers anymore because they are too frequent.

eventually we will all meet and join up but at the beginning it looks like Rapture and my char will be working together, cam is looking for his female, and ryan is doing what he does best....



sound good?

sounds good to me

does what he does best? lol
