Sorry but I'm running out of time, so I'm gonna place a quick run-down of what the RP is about and I'll have the full thing put up sometime over the weekend. Hope thats ok with everyone.

Okay, first things first. The backstory.

I haven't decided on the year but basically: A group of 5 'super heroes' have these special powers. A Biotech company created devices to capture three of these 'heroes' and used biotechnology to duplicate their powers, creating an Army of super soldiers. They then took over the world, ruling as a Tyrant. A 'rebellion' biotech company enlisted the help of the other two 'heroes' and requested that they help them. They created, originally, 26 new soldiers, each with unique powers and characteristics, named after the Alphabet.

Codename: Ex

Ex was in the last group of three soldiers that were made, alongside Y and Ze. He was different than the rest, he lacked strength and was created with many health disorders. However, he replaced it all with unparalled intelligence. He became the 'Guy' who lead the others into combat, mentally however. He resides in a dark room, lay back in a chair with live feeds running into the special helmet he wears, allowing him to give advice and orders to the squad.

Codename: Zed

Zed was created to replace Ex, bringing the ABC Squad to a round 26. He is the best of the best and while Ex commands them from the back, he leads them from the front, allowing him to issue commands whenever Ex is unreachable.

Your character (don't worry, don't make one yet, this is to give you ideas)

Ok, your character has to choose one of the lettered codenames, however, these will only be the names Ex and Zed call you. You can choose your own name aswell. The codenames avaliable are:
A Be Ce De E Ef Ge Haych I Jay Kay El Em En Oh Pe Que Ar Es Te U Ve UU

Ex, Y, Ze and Zed are going to be the characters I control.

Your character may also have any power they want, it will be very unlikely that I will ask you to change it. I don't care whether you deem anothers character OTT or 'God'. These guys are super soldiers and remember, it will be these 26 against and entire planets army who also have 'OTT' powers. Thank-you, as I said, I'll have the full thing up by Sunday at the latest.

Ok, here goes.

Before I get onto the story and the important stuff, I'll put the rules down and other boring stuff that you need know.

Rules
    1. No more than three characters, seeing as though I may ask you to take control of 2-3 NPC's at a time. Also, could I please encourage having two characters. That reduces how many of the remaining 24 that I have to control, thanks.
    2. No God-modding. Don't forget, your enemies are roughly the same power level as you to begin with and theres a hell of a lot more of them than you.
    3. There will be relatively little PvP fights in this but if one does happen, I ask you to not preform auto-hits or auto-kills.
    4. NPC Combat will be primarily controlled by yourself but If I do take control of a few NPC's then I am entitled to actually kill your character with them. So no going psycho.
    5. Don't be pissed if your character dies, they can be re-created with the same stats and memories, that is if we can find a large enough piece of them.
    6. Don't argue back with me if I ask you to change something.
    7. This is my RP, therefore, I am God. If I say your character suddenly bursts into flame, then your character suddenly bursts into flame.
    8. The most important rule....Enjoy your fricking selves.

{The above rules are subject to change}

The boring stuff

Ok, this is just stuff that I think you should all know.

Because I'm 'underachieving' at school I won't be able to post during the week, unless I get a good 'report' from my form tutor so yeah, please don't complain.

Considering the above point, that doesn't mean you guys can get away with it. I want at least 1 post every other day. If personal reasons come into this (that doesn't include lazyness) then I'll understand, but please let me know in advance if possible.

{Meh, I may add to this later}

Oh goodie, now for the good bit.

London, England: September 2018

{London: Outside Buckingham Palace}

News Reporter: I am here Live at the most dangerous Terrorist Threat in the history of our country. A group of Terrorists, estimated 20 of them, have broken into the Palace and are now holding the Royal Family hostage.

{London News Studio}

Newscaster: Thats terrible Jan, whats going on, have the Authorities recieved any demands or...?

{London: Outside Buckingham Palace}

Jan: Not yet Steve, we are still waiting for...oh wait *puts hand to ear piece*...right, we've just recieved information that the Terrorists are demanding 600 million pounds, and a legal document that states they are innocent of ever preforming this act and that document is to contain no loopholes. I'm going to ask a Police Chief about this.

*Runs over to a Police Chief, camera man following*

Jan: Excuse me, how are the police trying to ensure the safety of the Royal Family?

Police Officer: We aren't allowed to give that information away ma'am. Sorry.

*Large explosion*

{London: News Studio}

Steve: Jan, what in the world was that?

{London: Outside Bukingham Palace}

Jan: We're not sure but it seems, how hard it is to believe. That a man, who is currently hovering in the air above the Palace, fired a blue laser beam from his palm. He may have a customized LA5-Type Weapon but it appears he is carrying nothing. It is unsure who's side he is on, he blasted away half of the Palace. Oh wait...an accomplice has just flown into the building.



BZZT BZZT Information Locked BZZT BZZT

Scanning.......Scanning.......Scanning.....Information Found....
Loading.......14%

Loading.......100%
Loading Complete.....Opening File.....Acess Granted.......

Somewhere South of Manchester, England-Coorodinates unknown: January 2019-August 2028

Data File....File 980

Our Employer has finally whipped those scientists into shape and they have completed the 'Device'. The Device is ready for use and we hope it will work. One failed attempt and we may be killed or at the least, put out of business.

Data File.....File 981

The Device worked, we managed to capture three of them. The other two managed to escape, but not before we placed Energy Decomposers inside of them. We have prepared the Test Tubes and we will begin the cloning process within a few days. The Employer is very happy.

Data File......File 982

The first Cloning worked. This one has increased Intelligence, strength, speed, reaction time and he contains the power of Psychokinesis, but only the lower forms of Pyrokinesis, Hydrokinesis and Aerokinesis. He has complete control of his power. Furthermore, him and his clones will be called Type-1.

Data File.....File 983

We finally created more, almost an army now. We have many different types of soldiers aswell. Along Type-1 we have: Type-2, these have the abilities to create physical things with their minds, including shields and weapons; we then have Type-3 who have the power of teleportation and transmutation; next is Type-4 who can phase through solid objects and have biological healing, they also have control of magnatism; Type-5 have the ability to shapeshift, they also control light waves and photons and also have the ability of thoughtform. We truely are reaching our true objectives now.

Data File......File 984

At last, our mechanics have finally finished the war veichles for our soldiers. These are made up of:
Lust-This is our 'light' veichle. It is a two-man quad bike that has an elegent, stream-lined appearence. One man drives while the other stands on the back in foot holds. The only weapons avaliable are the ones that both men are carrying.
Gluttony-This is our 'Tank' it is a big looking thing that is about 3 storeys high and runs on catterpillar tracks. It has 6 mounted turrets and two battery fed LA5-Mark 6 cannons on the front that the driver controls. It carries 10 men.
Greed-Greed is our large transport veichle. It hovers above the ground and has high powered energy shields that protect from almost all outside damage. It has two machine guns atop the veichle and can carry 16 men. They are quick and agile.
Sloth-Sloth is one of my favourites. It is our water based assault veichle. It can carry over 60 men and has some of the most powerful weapons. Using a Nuclear Reactor Cannon it can destroy almost any defence.
Wrath-Wrath is one of our most used and is the one we have most of. It fits 2 people in the front and can either have a machine gun turret or LA5-Mark 4 cannon on the back. It works like and basically is a 4x4 but with customization.
Envy-Envy is my least favourite veichle. It is a collecter. It is only deployed after or near the end of a battle to collect any fixable veichles, enemy or our own.
Pride-This is our drop-ship. It is roughly the size of a small island and can carry at least 100 of each veichle and can carry 60,000 men, each with their own living space.

We begin our rehearsal soon.

Data File....Acess Denied....Password and ID Key needed.........Acess Granted.....Data File 985

Our Rehearsal tests went quite well but the Employer wanted commanders. Commanders who intimidate our men. This lead to the creation of Type-0 soldiers. They have every ability that the other soldiers have. They are outfitted with all of our best equipment. This subject is extremely dangerous. Our Company have taken a new name. Absurd Ideas Inc..

Dover, England: November 2029-February 2030

Project A-Z

Finally, we started the A-Z project. It took us long enough. I only hope we finish soon. I don't know the limits of Absurd Ideas mercy. We need to finish this soon.

Codename: Ex

Dammit. The creation of Ex, Y and Ze went terribly wrong. Y and Ze turned out perfect, but Ex. He went completely wrong. He has no powers and he is physically weak. He's about as strong as a ten year old boy, its unbelieveable. We'll have to put him out of his misery soon.

Codename: Zed

I don't believe it. Ex is a hero. He may not be able to go into battle but he's done much more for us than anyone so far. He has unparralled intelligence, he figured out the most complicated math question within two seconds, just by looking at the numbers, its unbelieveable. We finally have somebody to lead the rest of them.
But, the suits have told me we need to create someone who can lead them unless they lose contact with Ex, thats where Zed comes into it. He's superb. He fought against ten of the others and beat them all no problem. He's truely unique.

ABC Squads Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Omega, Sigma, Zeta, Delta, Epsilon, Xi, Omicron, Kappa, Psi and Rho

We finally decided the squads. Each squad is made up of two, but some squads will be asked to work together. They go like this: Zed + A; Ze + Be; Y + Ce; UU + De; Ve + E; Yu + Ef and so on and so forth until you reach: Em + En. This idea is subject to change, depending on what Ex says.

It Begins

We are finally sending them out, we are keeping their powers classified incase this information becomes hacked. But each one is unique. We are hoping for the best and are trusting Ex and Zed to keep them alive.


Character Sheet

Name: Can be anything you want
Age: Everyone is twenty
Codename: Your letter, ask me if you don't know how to spell it
Power: Kinda obvious
Weapons: Everyone has a sidearm and knife, plus anything else you want
Other Equipment: Everyone has night and heat vision goggles, plus whatever else you want
Appearence: Everyone wears the ODST armour from Halo 3 (cheap I know lol) but you can have modifications to it
Personality: What is your character like?
Gender: Male or Female?

Stats:

    CQB: 50/100
    Mid-Range: 50/100
    Long Range: 50/100
    Stealth/Camoflage: 50/100
    Tactics: 50/100
    Speed/Agility: 50/100

The points system doesn't really do anything, I'll send you a PM when you need to change something. Basically, as I said before, that as the NPC's are fricking hard, then if I control them then I can auto-hit/kill your character. All these stats do is tell me how much to auto hit you. Lets say your character is a sniper. As the RP progresses, his skill in long range will increase but his skill in CQB will begin to decrease. Meaning if you go up against a pure CQB enemy then you are gonna get hit quite abit.

Code:
[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b]
[b]Codename:[/b]
[b]Power:[/b]
[b]Weapons:[/b]
[b]Other Equipment:[/b]
[b]Appearence:[/b]
[b]Personality:[/b]
[b]Gender:[/b]

[b][u]Stats:[/b][/u]

[list][b]CQB:[/b]  50/100
[b]Mid-Range:[/b] 50/100
[b]Long Range:[/b] 50/100
[b]Stealth/Camoflage:[/b] 50/100
[b]Tactics:[/b] 50/100
[b]Speed/Agility:[/b] 50/100[/list]


Phew, glad I finished that, I'll have Ex, Y and Zed up later, hope you enjoy joining and playing this RP more than I did writing it down.

Oh yeah, for all who didn't know, this is what ODST armour looks like

right then, this is why I haven't responded yet.

first off the set number of superhuman good guys and the code names are just flat-out weird.

Also, could I go for Psychometry as a power (can tell the past of objects by touching them)? It's a very versatile power, and allows the user to learn a lot.

Otherwise, probably something similar to the Beserker Body from Battle Angel Alita, while it was attached to her.

Or maybe a powerset similar to Abbaddon...

Okay, I admit it, you and that manga have gotten me on a roll.

Name:James Carver
Age:20
Codename:Jay
Power:Superspeed, and the applications that he can figure out. Has the required secondary superpowers to avoid killing himself.
Weapons:His hands/improvised.
Other Equipment:Totally wicked awesome sunglasses.
Appearance:
Image
Personality:James enjoys his powers, and is does his best to make other people happy. Rarely ever gets serious, and even then, his angst train has a habit of derailing.

Stats:

    CQB: 50/100
    Mid-Range: 50/100
    Long Range: 50/100
    Stealth/Camoflage: 50/100
    Tactics: 50/100
    Speed/Agility: 50/100

Also, you do know that the rot13 system you're using for partners would leave Kay with Ex, right? Perhaps a bodyguard with a crush...Kay just sounds like a girl's name to me.

Also, the applications I can think of for superspeed so far: Punches act like stabs, shattering anything (and I mean anything) on touch, running up walls, running on water, causing earthquakes, slicing through stuff, playing dead, putting out fires..it's incredibly versatile. Probably won't want to start with all of those, though.

Currently a work in progress.

All are APPROVED (always wanted to do that lol)

And Arach, the partnerships aren't like that. They are like A + Zed are together, Be + Ze are together and so on and so forth. If I figured it out right then everyone other than Ex will get a partner.

Can everyone also add a gender, I forgot it lol

Ok, Shifts, I love the character but the time control needs to be slightly altered. Silver can slow down time, but he cannot stop or reverse time.

if you do that the you are APPROVED

Yeah, sorry, it crossed my mind. Shifts, could you get rid of the absorbing electricity aswell, seeing as though you have time slow down and the rest of it, adding that seems a bit much. Plus, Luca's got a similar power aswell.

Personality: Y likes to joke around alot and is one of the least serious of the group. He believes that his power can get him out of anything so thats why he messes around. However, when Zed or Ex or even when the situation demands it, he can turn very serious, placing the lives of others ahead of his own.
