A.S.R.T.D.

Abnormal and Supernatural Reasearch and Tracking Division
Program Summery: This division is dedicated to finding those born with abilities above and beyond that of the normal human. Once found these individuals are studied and tracked. Eventually this division will seek to capture those individuals and do furhter and deeper investigation. And those that are willing will be inducted into a black ops unit. We also strive to develop weapons, medicines, and many other things from this research not only to better our country but to also help us combat malicious beings with these abnormal and supernatural abilities.

Scale: To aid us in our goals we have put together a scale system referring to the evident evolution of a being.

0-2.5 Standard Human
2.6-5 Above Average Human
5.1-9.0 MetaHuman
9.1-9.5 Meltdown
9.6-10.0 Ultimate
10.1 and Above Phase out

Our interests take place in those with a Evolution Ratio of 5.1 and above. Anything above 8 is considered a priority target, but no one has been recorded at above 6. Some of the sacle is only theoretical. Meltdown is what happens when a body is pushed too far beyond its limits in evolution and simply breaks down. Though it is thought that above these levels of breakdown the body has been able to rebuild itself before it was too far gone and the powers are astounding. It is also thought that when one ascends far enough they begin to exist in other demensions and they appear to phase out of our awareness.

Scenario: It is the year 2015, the world is much as it was in 2008 though ecomony and some things have approved. But there has also been an increase in those born with abilities above the Norm. ASRTD has moved to actually capturing Metahumans. The story will start out with each character in their own encounter with this agency, and from there they will be captured or escape. As the story takes place they will all move to certain locations, all of them with some sort of nuclear material near by. At this point there will be an attack on planet earth, something that is even unexpected to the aliens that launch the attack. The strikes will result in the rapic mutation of people, launching them to level 8 and above. After that will be decided at a later point.

this seems right up Drisk's alley. i'll post my character as well, but it'll take a while. i'll have to rearrange, and edit some things and give the categories new titles. my history will also need to be altered a bit.

============edit============

here's my character:

Name: Raphael Felidae

Gender: Male

Age: 22 (not my actual age in case you're wondering)

Height: 5',11"

Weight 167.5 lbs

General Description: a human with some physical characteristics like that of an oceot; he has a tail, cat ears, and his hands are sharp claws (his claws still look like human hands though. think of what Inuyasha's hands are like). he has hazel-green eyes, his hair is short, dark brown, and spikey (imagine Roxas' hair style in kingdom hearts II) the same color as the ocelot fur pattern on his skin (the fur pattern is meant to be a tattoo in this RP. his tail and ears however, do have fur on them). leanly built with defined muscles instead of built ones. he wears black cargo pants with an opening in the back for the tail, and a red T-shirt with black trim, covered with a grey, hooded, sleeveless vest that goes down to his hips. on his claws he wears red frayed bandages wrapped up to his elbow. he has red sneakers, with black and grey designs on them. *Weapon equipment* on his back is a sheathe for one of his two swords, and a backpack of bombs for fights against larger more destructive enemies.


Special Items: his sneakers are actually soap shoes. special plates are placed on the bottom of the soles where the foot arches up. these plates allow grinding on rails without a skateboard or rollerblades; useful when running from someone when there's a flight of stairs ahead (these shoes are real, i've checked).

Story he was born with his animal traits, no one knows how, or why. because of these "special" qualities, he was often ridiculed by others, sometimes even being called a freak. when he turned 19 his life changed for the worse, someone had finally pushed him too far. his anger toward that person triggered something primal, something......Feral inside of him. his instincts took over, and there was nothing but bloodshed around him. he could've killed his family, if they hadn't snapped him out of it in time. when he saw what he did he ran away, despite his parent's wishes to help him. he joined a variety of dojos to learn how to defend himself in a fight, learning some weapons training in a dojo that teaches kenjutsu. he now wanders the streets looking for places where he could be accepted, and not shut out from others.

Personality: although he is kind at heart and will help someone in danger, Raphael has a hard time opening up to others. he doesn't want anyone else to be hurt because of his "anger management problems". sometimes he will climb up to a rooftop just to think without being disturbed. (for future reference, a * symbol surrounding italic words signals when he's thinking to himself.)

Abilities (Before Event)

<Feral Mode>: he was born with this ability. when Raphael becomes angered to a certain extent, he will become a rabid beast <so to speak>. his senses heighten, his movements will become twice as fast, and more unpredictable. and his attacks are double in power. the downside to this form, however, is that he loses the ability to think rationally. he still has control over what he does, but his instincts influence his actions, making it hard to know when he has to stop.

Fighting style: A brawler; he relies mostly on kicks, but can deliver strong blows from his hands (see After Event Abilities section). Some karate training (basic defense skills); karate was pretty much the only hand-to-hand fighting style that somewhat stuck. he also has single and double sword style kenjutsu experience when he trained in the dojo.

Weapons: Raphael has 3 weapons that he brings into battle; one projectile, and two non-projectile (he gains the second non-projectile weapon after the Event) the weapons that he wields are as follows:

-Hunter's Fang {non-projectile}: a sword resembling a large cleaver 3 feet long, tipped at the end like a fang.

-bomb bag {projectile}: a dark grey backpack filled with a variety of explosives that he made; scatter-bombs (the main explosive in his arsenal, sorry if the name sounds lame), smoke bombs, incendiaries, various gas bombs, etc...> (used mostly for larger enemies, or for strategic purposes).

-Darkside {semi-projectile (can be either one depending on how it's used)}: look under After Event Abilities list

Strengths: utilizes speed in most of his battles, he only relies on power when needed.
Raphael's Feral Mode increases his natural abilities (speed, strength, reflexes, and senses).
his new Shadow abilities has made Raphael more powerful, and has given him more weapons for his arsenal in battle (in a manner of speaking).

Weaknesses: sometimes quick to anger, which will trigger his Feral Mode, lowering his rationality.
the Dark abilities that he uses makes him weaker, each time he uses them. the amount of fatigue depends on how much he uses his power.

Noteable: Raphael is extremely fast, and agile, making him a hard subject to capture. word of warning to those who try to apprehend him, when the pupils of his eyes become slitted like a cat's, use extreme caution

New Abilities (After Event)

Elemental
<Shadow Power> After the accident, Raphael has "acquired" the ability to manipulate the shadows. using this, he created a variety of abilities that he uses in his battles to increase his chances of winning. Although these abilities are very strong and can deal an immense amount of damage, it weakens him for a period of time whenever he uses them. if he overexerts himself, he may even pass out:

-Shadow Pulse: with a swipe of his hand, he can send a 5 foot wide crescent shaped wave of dark energy toward his opponent (the angle of the wave is the same as the angle that Raphael used when using Demon Wind). he can control how dangerous the attack can be (whether he wants it to be a slicing attack or an attack just to push the enemy back)

-Shadow Punch: he can make his punches more destructive. the punches power depends on the amount of energy that Raphael chooses to use for the attack

-Darkside: when Raphael is unarmed, or has Hunter's Fang in hand, he can summon a black bladed sword resembling a combination of a scimitar and a broadsword into his left hand (the blade is 2.5 feet long) that he can use for single or double sword style fighting (this disables all use of Shadow Pulse until Darkside is called back). he can throw this sword at an enemy and call it back to his hand (like the strike raid ability that Sora had in the first KH game). due to this, Darkside is considered a semi-projectile weapon.

-Shadow Slide: this power can only be used in dark areas (spots where there's no light shining on the surface), it could be used anywhere, even in a lit room, so long as there's a shadow in the room. Raphael can sink into the shadows and reappear anywhere, at anytime inside of that same shadow. it's extremely useful when fighting at night; when there is very little light anywhere (or for hiding from enemies when at a disadvantage). this power is limited however, he can't transfer to any shadows separate from the one he used (they have to be connected somehow, even if it's only by a hair). he can't go through walls either, unless there's a crack or opening that can lead all the way through to the other side.

Phychic: none

Regenerative:
Shadow Recovery though he hasn't lost any limbs yet. Raphael can use his Shadow Slide ability to reattach, or recreate any body parts that were forcibly removed.

noteable: he can disappear into the shadows at any time if you give him the chance. dont give him that chance

@ Raphael.
One thing you may need to change is the sword training as a result of Karate. You don't learn how to use swords in Karate. you learn to use other weapons but definitely not swords. I know from personal experience (Black Belt in Karate)


Now onto the character


Name: Kofi Wilkins
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 160lbs
General Description: Has brown eyes and black hair. His hair is styled into dreadlocks and he wears a purple bandana over the top of his hair. Wears a black sleeveless top, blue denim jeans and a pair of Nike Airs (red, black and white in colour)
Special Items: Carries 2 Glock 18C's with high capacity magazines (Machine pistols) and 2 Nunchaku
Story: Kofi grew up in a rough neibourhood. If you didn't know how toi defend yourself then you didn't leave your house without somebody who could protect themselves.
At the age of 12 Kofi started Karate and is now a 3rd Dan Black Belt. He also became a member at a local firing range and bought himself 2 Glock 18C's to use.
He has been on the run from the ASRTD for a few months now.

Abilities
Before Event

Hand to Hand: Karate.
Non-Projectile Weapon: Knows how to use staves, nunchaku and knives from his Karate training.
Projectile Weapon: Damn well trained in the use of pistols and rifles (firing range member). Is able to hit a head shot 99% of the time, even against moving targets.
Noteable: Computer Hacker
Abnormal: Minor ability to control electricity

After Event

Elemental: Electricity and Lightning
Psychic: Telepathic
Rengenertive: Can heal rapidly off any electricity and electrical circuits, power lines, storms, etc.
Noteable: Can teleport from place to place.

I didn't actually realise I'd double posted. I just clicked for the first page and then hit "post reply"
My bad there.

And to give you some examples. In Karate weapons classes you get taught how to use:
- Staff/Bo
- Nunchaku
- Knives (mostly how to defend against them)


Some Karate schools MAY teach sword work but it would only be basic single sword stuff, mostly how to do with defending though attacking may be taught as well.

i meant what martial arts styles teach single and double sword fighting techniques. that way i can change the fighting style to fit what is in my profile.

Location: Where would I be but here?
I am interested. Here is my character:

--------------------

Name:
Tycho Sonata
Gender: Male
Age: 31
Height: 5'8" (173 cm)
Weight: 155 Lbs (70 kg)
General Description: Long, Black hair that reaches his shoulders, almost always covering his right eye (both eyes are very bright blue) partially; three bangs over left side of his face. Ears and tail like a Siberian Husky; enlarged canine teeth and small claws. Not very strong, but nimble and extremely flexible. Wears a tight-fitting pink and black t-shirt, semi-tight jeans, and plain, black, moccasin-like shoes; holster across his lower back for his stun baton. (there's no tail-hole in his pants; he just wears them low, with the belt going over his tail)
Special Items: Goggles; blue-lensed goggles.
Story: Tycho's parents practically disowned him when he was still young, and he relied on the support of his best friend, Julian, to get through the rough times. At about seventeen years old, he was attacked by some of his classmates after school and they might have killed him if Julian hadn't stepped in to stop them. Unfortunately, this resulted instead in Julian being killed. Since then, Tycho has been a drifter, just scraping by with what he can get doing odd jobs. He blames himself for Julians death, but he doesn't mope about it; in fact, it's hard to keep Tycho down.

Abilities
Before Event


Hand to Hand: Knows self-taught defense and avoidance skills; not professionally trained.
Non-Projectile Weapon: Stun baton (about 12" long and built sturdily; much like a modern taser, but it works on contact).
Projectile Weapon: None.
Notable: Extraordinary flexibility and balance.
Abnormal: Congenital analgia (inability to feel pain)

After Event

Elemental: Blood. (If it's okay to use that) Can create a variety of weapons from a very strong form of crystallized blood, though it usually takes the form of a 3' (91 cm) razor-sharp straight-sword. If he is in contact with someone, he can use their blood for this, which is incredibly painful to the victim ( it would be for Tycho when he uses his own, but he can't feel pain).
Psychic: None
Regenerative: Can replace lost limbs or heal wounds in seconds through a process called 'burning' that resembles pure white flames. This does not work if there is a foreign object in his body. It is also very tiring.
Notable: Can restore energy by drinking blood from a living host.

--------------------

So basically, he's a physically weak, fight-avoiding, vampire-husky-boy... with goggles ('cause goggles make everything better). Oh, and he's deadly cute. Can't forget that. Note: he can still feel; he just doesn't have the instinctive reaction to pain that normal people do. If anything needs changing, I'd be more than happy to do so.

edited my profile to add a regenerating ability. the research hasn't ended for the ASRTD yet, seeing as Raphael isn't aware of the ability in the first place (he hasn't lost any limbs yet) but i dont want to use this new ability without posting it first.

Okay, heres the list of things.

1. Rapheal, Sable Dove, Optix, all approved.
2. Rapheal, you went way beyond what you had to, I'm not gonna list every ability, simply saying shadow would have been fine.
3. Guns, normal weapons, such things are not considered special items as such things will change throughout the story. For example, my char will carry guns and computer equipment, but that will change as time goes on.
4. Sable Dove, Blood is alright, just you can't forge weapons In other people, just draw blood from an open wound, but its more tiring than on yourself.

i did go too far huh :?. well i'm used to posting all of my abilities in an RP's OOC thread (im a very detail oriented person, sorry :oops:). just putting down something as simple as 'shadow' isn't exacly what i'm used to.

I'm not going back to edit my profile just to let you know.
