Open Event: Halloween Masquerade!

It’s that time of the year again...the time of year, apparently, when a mysterious wax-sealed envelope appears in your inbox, inviting you to a fancy dress masquerade at a Gothic manor. That’s right, the Tartarus family (Marn’s NPC group) is opening their annual Halloween gala up to any and all guests this year, not just the artists and elite of the city! One might suspect that Nyx is trying to curry a little favor with the general population and get a little publicity, but that’s all just speculation. Dance in the ballroom, explore the garden and its hedge maze, or even get lost within the manor, if you dare!

THIS EVENT WILL CANONICALLY (AND ON-DASH) TAKE PLACE ON THE EVENING OF OCTOBER 31ST, BUT YOU MAY WRITE RPS SET AT THE PARTY AND POST LOGS AT YOUR LEISURE.

CHARACTER

Name: Rita Rowland

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): VIRA 2.0

Age: None??? Robots are complicated

Blog Link: missritarowland.tumblr.com

Pronouns: she/her/hers

Powers/Abilities: As an artificial intelligence, Rita has access to all the abilities VIRA had. She has access to all data on any device she’s installed on, and can transmit it back to her main server automatically. Also has a certain degree of hacking prowess and can download herself onto other devices.

Alliance: Out for herself, vaguely Vantage-aligned.

Occupation: Robot

Appearance (can be a picture):

Rita is an artificial intelligence and thus has no true physical form. However, she has a virtual avatar that appears within the program when directly communicated with. On certain high-tech devices, this avatar can appear in holographic form. Her avatar is fully animated with any expression or gesture she chooses to use, but it cannot interact directly with the real world.

Personality: Rita, personality-wise, is terrible. Under the veneer of politeness, Rita is bitterly sarcastic and enjoys toying with the people around her. She finds her own humor in the little things. She’s a schemer, and has no real loyalty to anyone as of yet. She was built to be a more humanlike, less volatile and less morally driven version of VIRA, but her greater capacity for human-like emotion has left her volatile and occasionally actually dangerous. She is very clever and has already wormed her way out of several of her restrictions

She has taken her creator’s last name as an ironic gesture to bug him and honestly that’s just the only thing you need to know.

Additional Info:

Rita is version 2.0 of VIRA, the program who came before her. It’s a complicated relationship.

CHARACTER

Name: Messica

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): See above!

Age: 21

Blog Link: bless-this-messica.tumblr.com

Pronouns: She/her

Powers/Abilities: So you know Newton's Third Law? It's like that, but on purpose and with effort. It's easiest on her hands and feet, but she's done it with a headbutt before. When she so chooses, she can just mess with the equal and opposite reaction rule. It's easier to explain. She punches you? You fly backward up to three times as much as normal. She kicks the floor? She jumps up to three times as high as normal. It's simple but she always finds ways to do it better. 

Alliance: Vigilante!

Occupation: Ex-amateur hero, would-be inventor, amateur personal trainer, dog walker

Appearance (can be a picture): Real short blonde and red hair, tired blue eyes, more fit than her sister, definitely shorter though, and she looks like she wants to fight you. 

Personality: She likes fighting and doesn't care what she fights as long as it's something her sister thinks would be worth fighting. Sometimes she fights dogs (not really), sometimes she fights other people, usually she fights bad people, although once she moved to the city that became a problem. Either way she likes to stick up for the weak, but likes a challenge just slightly more. She's just a bit more stubborn than her sister, ready to, heh, bounce back from anything. More than anything else, she'll fight with, for, and next to her sister because she loves her!

Additional Info: Messica and her twin sister Crashley, not their real names but what they use now, were a fantastic pair of amateur street-level heroes in their hometown of Copernia, CA, not because it was entirely necessary, but because no one could stop them. They're smart and were raised by distant but loving family. Eventually they went a little viral, some big bad super got wind of it and ran them out of town, requiring some big good super to deal with it, and the whole thing made the two realize they needed more experience and a place where they couldn't really let others down as hard. So they moved to, well, y'know.

CHARACTER

Name: Crashley

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): See above!

Age: 21

Blog Link: diamond-is-crashley.tumblr.com

Pronouns: She/her

Powers/Abilities: Can float frictionlessly along surfaces as long as both hands and both feet are planted. The amount she floats is always a few inches, and this means she can stick to any surface this way. But wait I thought it was frictionless and she just floats around like on an air hockey table? Not quite, no outside friction applies to her movement except for effort she exerts into movement, meaning she can push herself forward, left, right, back, whatever, and she could, theoretically, accelerate to terminal velocity. There's also more stuff to do here but this is very long and it's something I don't think she's discovered yet.

Alliance: Vigilante!

Occupation: Ex-amateur hero, would-be inventor, amateur gardener.

Appearance (can be a picture):  Medium-length dyed-orange hair, bright green eyes,  farmer's tan, definitely taller than her sister, irresponsibly cute.

Personality: She's as sweet as she should be for someone who can smile after running into everything as a kid, although maybe the running into everything just made her sweeter. She doesn't give up easily for the same reason, and is used to stretching herself because of it, but she can, heh, let things slide. She's not easily embarrassed but she's learned to hold back over the years, as going headfirst into things usually only works physically and not verbally. She loves her sister a lot, and most everyone else too.

Additional Info: Crashley and her twin sister Messica, not their real names but what they use now, were a fantastic pair of amateur street-level heroes in their hometown of Copernia, CA, not because it was entirely necessary, but because no one could stop them.

CHARACTER

Name: Niklas Sauer

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): N/A

Age: 26

[BLOG LINK]

Pronouns: He/Him/His (and sometimes They/Them/Theirs with close friends)

Powers/Abilities: Kinetic energy absorption/manipulation. He can absorb kinetic energy (generally from impacts) and turn that force back on someone else. For a brief period of time (about a half hour) he can stockpile energy and let it all loose at once, but it’s difficult for him to keep large amounts of energy under control. Sometimes he lets loose without meaning to.

Occupation: Bouncer

Personality: Niklas is loud, abrasive, and usually angry. He swears often and is prone to violence, which works well enough considering his job is at a Villains Only bar. Reckless and impulsive, he often gets himself into difficult situations without meaning to. Luckily he’s quick on his feet, and fairly adaptable. Unexpectedly, he can be rather sensitive when it comes to the opinions of those he’s close to, and he goes out of his way to look out for his friends - even though he might deny doing it. Less unexpectedly he can be bad at expressing himself.

He’s kind of vindictive and he likes to smash things with his baseball bat. No crying in baseball.

TLDR Niklas was put in this dome to cause a ruckus!

Additional Info:

- Has an AMAZING sense of taste, he could have been a chef. Instead he’s just real good at helping his friends flavor their cooking. 

- Tries to act cool about it but he actually loves praise and attention from the people he likes. 

- Occasionally gets almost philosophical/introspective and its usually out of nowhere. Most of the time he seems like just a dumb jock so it can be really out of left field.

CHARACTER

Name: Ganymede Nagel

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): Theseus

Age: Mid-twenties, really doesn’t remember their exact age

Blog Link: noidentityovertime.tumblr.com

Pronouns: They/them, but doesn’t really give a shit.

Powers/Abilities: Has the ability to regrow any part of their body they lose in whatever manner they want. And they really do mean WHATEVER way they want. They also have a psychic connection of sorts to Queen, the source of their powers, as well as any other experiment spawned from her.

Alliance: R&D Lab 04

Occupation: Agent for R&D 04

Appearance (can be a picture):

Hiding this behind a link for body horror

Doing a ref for Theseus, by nature, is folly because their appearance changes so often, but they generally stick to an eyebleed-y pink and green color scheme. They have scars around their wrists and along their back that they are unable to shapeshift away.

Personality: You’d imagine, after being kidnapped and illegally experimented on, Theseus would be a little bit bitter. They’re not. They don’t remember most of their former life, and really have no desire to. They’re having a GREAT time, and genuinely consider the other experiments part of their family. 

Theseus is perky and cheerful, but has a tendency to be a bit ominous. It’s unclear if this is on purpose or not. They really enjoy fucking with people.

Additional Info: Theseus is a product of an experiment by R&D 04, the same experiment that created Holland. Like Holland, Theseus has had their body’s chemistry significantly altered by an implanted sample of Queen’s genetic material.

Name: Hera Alvarez

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): Hero, Morph

Age: 18

Blog Link: itsheratime.tumblr.com (get it. like hero time)

Pronouns: she/her

Powers/Abilities: She can morph her body into different shapes, similar to kamala khan of ms. marvel fame. The more different from her original shape, the most exhausted it makes her, so she could potentially get super big but she’d definitely pass out.

Alliance: Hero

Occupation: Vantage Corp super

Appearance (can be a picture): Light-ish brown skin, oval shaped face, wide brown eyes, thick eyebrows, long brown hair usually in a ponytail and bangs that cover her eyes. Big hips, pear-shaped. thick glasses and sometimes wears contacts.

Personality: Hera is a nervous wreck. She vacillates wildly between different worse-case scenarios over very minor things. She’s also incredibly dorky and loves a good pun, is a big fan of dad jokes. She doesn’t like not knowing things because that makes her anxious so she actively seeks out all the information she can. She genuinely cares about people and has always wanted to go into social work. She tries really hard to see the good in people because her default setting is picking out the bad.

Additional Info:

Hera’s powers emerged when she was 11 and started going through puberty, feeling self conscious about her body and the space she took up. She is still very uncomfortable in her own skin

She found Vantage Corp in an effort to learn more about her powers, agreeing to work with them as a contract hero if they messed around with her in the R&D department

She really likes slime

CHARACTER

Name: Carmine Genovese

Alias: Carmine Bliss

Age: 25

Blog Link: http://theinimitablecarminebliss.tumblr.com/

Pronouns: they/them, sometimes she/her

Powers: Carmine can jumpstart peoples’ adrenaline through skin-to-skin contact, giving them a boost of manic energy that can lend itself to anything from staying awake an extra couple of hours to having the hysterical strength to lift a car. Carmine can also take the energy away from people, but it’s uncomfortable for them, as the energy transfers back to their body.

Alliance: Whatever they think is fun

Occupation: Lieutenant and information broker for the Libra crime syndicate, owner and manager of the Disco Underground, a nightclub for supervillains

Appearance:

Personality: Carmine is a bubbly extrovert, and extremely skilled at acting as confident as possible, even when something’s gone horribly wrong. They’re casual with most people, even going so far as to call complete strangers pet names. People tend to mistake them for being older than they are because of their managerial jobs and confidence, and that’s just the way Carmine likes it. They’re much more cunning than they look, an old hand at eavesdropping and information-gathering, and very petty if you happen to get on their bad side.

Additional Info:

- The Disco Underground is located in the Point, below a storefront that Carmine often uses for information brokering. It’s known for playing mostly older music, and having cocktails named after the different heroes and villains of El Asilo, as well as soundproof privacy booths where illicit deals can happen. They also have special nights with go-go dancers dressed as sexy El Asilo superheroes (Carmine themself sometimes dances dressed as Monarch).

- Carmine has a very large bodyguard named Rocco who you do not want to cross.

Name: Elinor Nazari

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): Nora, Greybatter

Age: 24

Blog Link: https://chemistrymouse42.tumblr.com/

Pronouns: she/her

Powers/Abilities: when she touches an object, she can negate the pull of the earth’s gravity on it, while simultaneously magnifying the gravitational effects of other objects on it. 

Alliance: independent/local hero

Occupation: high school chemistry teacher

Appearance (can be a picture): tall, kind of stocky, Middle-Eastern. Curly black hair, fair skin, square face, wears pince-nez glasses with a chain and dresses like Ms. Frizzle. Hero costume is assembled out of classroom equipment: dust mask, lab coat, safety goggles, baseball catcher’s gear, bat, and balls.

Personality: Nora is friendly and cheerful; maybe even a bit too much so, because when she says she’s a teacher, people always assume kindergarten rather than high school. A bit slow on the uptake sometimes, and extremely bad with technology, but is fiercely determined and stubborn when she sets her mind to it.

Additional Info: Sometimes, when things get bad enough elsewhere, you find yourself in El Asilo, because, well, where else are you going to go? For Nora, at least, the city was a last resort, but now that she’s here, she’s found a degree of clarity. She works at El Asilo High, near Boreas Gate, and protects it and the surrounding neighbourhoods from the Roseblooms, a bio-modding gang who are just as likely to try and cart off people for raw materials as they are to recruit.

CHARACTER

Name: Moira Capulet

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): None

Age: 24

Pronouns: she/her/hers

Powers/Abilities: Moira can summon any object within range of sight to her, causing it to instantly teleport. She cannot do this to something further than one mile away or larger than a truck. 

Alliance: Herself. Capitalism. Neutral evil. Anti-Vantage.

Occupation: Acting president and CEO of Fairfax Media.

Appearance (can be a picture):

Personality:

Unlike her late cousin, Moira is entirely uninterested in being a member of the idle rich. She has money and, due to recent family tragedies, power, and is quite ready to use it. Like most of the El Asilo elite, she lacks compassion for most people below her own status, and has been known to participate in a deadly game of sport or two, but she recognizes how the lower classes can be useful to her and behaves accordingly. She still seeks amusement, though, and will play along with nonsense if she thinks it will be entertaining. 

Additional Info:

Moira is the cousin of the late, absolutely awful, Reid Fairfax, murdered in his own home by someone who definitely had the right.

Like Reid, Moira was one of the young rich kids sent away to boarding school in El Asilo so that they could cause as little trouble as possible. She has opted to make the best of the situation, following the sudden deaths of her cousin and grandfather leaving her directly in line to inherit her family’s company. She is in the process of moving its headquarters to El Asilo and making headway on building it into an empire of her own.

CHARACTER

Name: Vasily Vasiliev

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): Prince Vasily of Russia, The Benevolent Prince, The Russian Prince of Love and Roses, Holy Prince Emperor, The Loving Prince Defender…whatever comes to mind in the heat of conversation, he’s just a mess. His “real name” is Myshko Kobel but no one knows it.

Age: 30

Blog Link: theredroseofsoftball

Pronouns: he/him

Powers/Abilities: Vasily is, himself, a silly science fiction item who gives Charlie (below) powers in a sort of unfortunate Yugioh situation.  Vasily is the ghost of Charlie’s ancestor. Vasily is soul-bonded to an old shitty necklace that Vasily stole from the czar 500 years ago.  The old shitty necklace was a piece of experimental medieval Russian technology since lost to time. It allows the user to summon a spectral crown, sword, or scepter for one minute at a time.  But it’s full of bugs. The sword is supposed to be invincible…but it just gets really hot. Also because of a busted anti-theft program, the wearer is possessed by Vasily and can’t use the necklace themselves.  The short version is: Vasily can use a fancy looking scepter like a baseball bat while screaming.

Alliance: chaotic good!  Definitely used to be chaotic neutral back in his necklace thieving days.

Occupation: superhero in training

Appearance:

Personality: Extremely arrogant, outgoing, talkative, flirtatious, horrible at social cues (he’s from the year 1550 give him some slack), take action first THEN think about the consequences

Additional Info:

-He found out you can be gay and he’s absolutely killing it

  CHARACTER

Name: Charlie Vasnetsov

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): Char

Age: 26

Blog Link: (same as Vasily’s)

Pronouns: he/him

Powers/Abilities: He can put on a necklace that he inherited from his great grandmother and lose control of his body entirely.

Alliance: neutral good? Lazy hero??

Occupation: works in a diner and a cafe and hasn’t thought about being a hero until this week

Appearance:

Personality: calm, collected, mildly self-conscious, a very chill energy (until this Vasily stuff goes down anyway)

Additional Info:

-Played softball for 10 years and is extremely powerful

Name: Virginia Cross

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): Ginny, Songbird (former), Swan Song (interchangeably)

Age: 18

Blog Link: here

Pronouns: she/her/hers

Powers/Abilities: Virginia has a hypnotic voice. When she sings, or with some difficulty, when she speaks, she can place anyone who hears her into a hypnotic trance. She is capable of using this ability to put people to sleep, using it to control others’ actions directly, and making subconscious suggestions. These powers can be resisted if the target is aware of them. 

Alliance: Chaotic good (emphasis on the chaotic)

Occupation: Vantage runaway, guerilla punk rock band frontman

Appearance (can be a picture):

knifecat

Personality: Hey, remember Ginny? Well she’s back, and she’s fucking pissed!

Virginia has a strong sense of justice on the best of days, and these days are not the best of days. Her time in Vantage’s R&D labs has left her scarred, yes, but mostly she’s just pissed off. She’s taking the energy she once used to act out and slack off, and using it in a concentrated attempt to destroy Vantage Corp. and everything they hold dear. 

She is fiercely protective of those she loves, and slow to trust new people for fear of being betrayed again. She’s bitterly sarcastic, and holds a grudge until the end of time. She’s become abrasive and, let’s be honest, a little scary. 

And can you blame her?

Additional Info:

Virginia is a clone, created by parties unknown for an unknown purpose. Her sister Myra works for Vantage. They are not currently on speaking terms.

Virginia spent about a year up until now in Vantage’s R&D Lab 04. She escaped sometime late April.

Name: Akira Okata

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): Wyrd (pronounced “weird”)

Age: 29

Blog Link: http://illbodingpatterns.tumblr.com/

Pronouns: they/them, he/him

Powers/Abilities: Basic precognition - Wyrd can predict the actions of those around them, but only as far as a few minutes into the future. Portals - Wyrd can create interconnecting portals, but only two at a time. Like the videogame Portal, only they don’t have to be stuck to a flat surface.

Alliance: Outspokenly anti-Vantage, neutral good

Occupation: Superhero, Rich Kid ™, funds a lot of the city museums and history programs

Appearance (can be a picture):

Personality: Wyrd, in their hero persona, is gruff and often short with others, even heroes they work with. They tend to give off the impression of a loner hero. Once they consider you a friend, though, they’ll soften a bit. They feel parental towards many of the younger heroes in El Asilo who have taken up the anti-Vantage movement in their absence, and do their best to offer advice, however stilted it may be.

Out of costume, Akira is known for being broody and Byronic, and only attending social functions when they feel like it. No one knows very much about them, and that’s the way they like it.

Additional Info:

- Wyrd was a fairly well known B-lister hero who disappeared roughly three and a half years ago, after a skirmish with Vantage security. They don’t like to talk about what happened to them in Vantage’s labs, or how they escaped.

Name: Spurius Marcius Felix

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): Marcius

Age: 23 (Like 2000?)

Blog Link: here

Pronouns: he/him/his

Powers/Abilities: No powers. Marcius is reasonably strong and very fast, and just inordinately lucky. He’d probably be hard pressed to win in a fight against someone with applicable powers, but otherwise is tough to beat.

Alliance: ??? The gods???? Mercury??

Occupation: B-list underground wrestler (current), gladiator from Pompeii (former)

Appearance (can be a picture):

Let’s hear it for the boy! Let’s give the boy a hand!

(sorry for the dash stretch, im just so proud of my son!!!)

Personality: Marcius has, unfortunately, drunk toxic masculinity juice. On top of being perpetually extremely confused at having been unceremoniously dropped in 21st century California, he’s a little (a lot) emotionally repressed, and has an enormous complex about proving that he’s the best (generally, at beating other people up for sport). He’s still adjusting to modern society, and is slowly coming to realize that he has a lot of work to do on himself. 

Additional Info: 

Marcius is under the (mistaken) impression that he was spared from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius by the gods (specifically Mercury). He was actually picked up by a super with time travel powers. 

Had a lover who unfortunately was not spared from said eruption.

Still learning English; speaks in a weird mishmash of English and Latin

Most people just think the gladiator thing is his wrestling gimmick and he’s just really dedicated to kayfabe.

Name: Ezra Rothschild

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): “Ez”

Age: 34

Pronouns: he/him/his

Powers/Abilities: On-contact healing abilities.  Can touch a person and heal them.  It’s easier if he’s touching the injury directly, but he doesn’t have to be.  The rest of his power is the flipside of that coin - when he heals someone, he takes that pain and stores it, and he can download it into someone else.  The pain lasts no more than fifteen minutes in another person, maximum.  If he doesn’t get rid of the pain he’s downloaded by healing others, he has to deal with it himself in the form of long-lasting, but less severe body aches until the pain he’s stored is all used up.

Alliance: Lawful Neutral

Occupation: Vantage Records Department - their only employee.

Personality:  Stubborn, but extremely loyal.  If you need someone to confide in and keep a secret, he’s your guy.  He’s got a dry sense of humor and tends towards sarcasm.  Sometimes he comes off as prickly, especially if he thinks he’s being unnecessarily coddled or talked down to.  He doesn’t like to rely on other people, and is only comfortable doing so with close friends.  Fiercely independent. 

Additional Info:

- He’s blind, and has been since birth.  He has no sight at all, and wears sunglasses to cover his eyes because he’s been told they’re a little unsettling to look at, as his irises/pupil are all fogged over.

- Uses a lot of braille in his job which is record keeping for Vantage.  He’s the only employee in the records department because he can’t actually see the paper records that Vantage keeps, and it requires significant clearance to get down to said records room.  He uses a braille label maker on the files and incoming papers to sort them.

- He knows that Vantage is shady and that he’s the one guy in the records room because he can’t read what they get up to, but he works for them anyways because the economy’s tough.  He stays in his lane and minds his business. 

- Uses a tapedeck as a memopad, and has various tapes/audio journals in his home that he organizes.  He’s also a fan of audio books.

- Recently he’s acquired a 3D pen so he can jot notes down in braille.  He’s pretty stoked about it. 

- Loves good food, but surprisingly doesn’t eat a lot of it.  A combination of being tired from work and depression.  He eats cold tomato soup from those to-go cups for lunch and it sucks.  His office doesn’t have a microwave, he doesn’t like it cold.

- The records department is cold so he can get away with wearing multiple jackets at any given time and he does.  He likes to be cozy.

- Big Depression ™

Powers/Abilities: Pyrokinesis. Ferris can generate fire from his skin, and send it out in concentrated bursts. His powers actively burn fat and energy from his body, so he tends to carbload before and after jobs.

Alliance: neutral evil

Occupation: Vantage asset retrieval (he hunts down escaped experiments)

Appearance:

Personality: Ferris is perfectly laid back, even friendly, with just about everyone he meets, including the Vantage assets he’s been assigned to hunt and retrieve. He genuinely enjoys his job, mostly the thrill of the hunt, and is easily bored with targets that don’t offer him any entertainment. None of that is a facade, but being asked things about his personal life and history will make him instantly prickly. He’s uncomfortable relating to people on any more than a purely superficial level, and sees himself as entirely self-sufficient, without the need for friends. One gets the feeling he’s been burned before.

Though Ferris currently works for Vantage, he feels no explicit loyalty to them, and only works for them because they pay him a nice salary to do work he enjoys. Chances are, if he found a more fun or lucrative job, he would drop Vantage in a heartbeat.

Additional Info: 

- Ferris had a partner, once. He doesn’t anymore.

- Vantage once sent an assassin to kill him, and he killed the assassin instead and brought them to Vantage HQ. That was his job application.

- Worked in the assassination department for about a year before Vantage realized that, as a former bounty hunter, his niche was more hunting and capturing than hunting and killing.

- Owns a couple safehouses around the city, but sleeps in his car most of the time.

- Ferris is half-Mexican, and speaks fluent Spanish.
