Will I keep updating once a day? Who knows! Let's find out!
Affiliation: Sky Raiders
Name: A.R.C (Accelerated Robotic Construct)
Unit Type: Assault Jump Bot
AT: Assault Rifle/Electric Blast Blaster
Height: 6' 0"
Age: Two months
Chasis: Bright yellow with blue lightning patterns
Bio: ARC is a prototype Jump Bot built by the Sky Raiders utilizing stolen Council and Rikti technology. The plan was to create a Jump Bot capable of accelerating to great speeds, giving the Sky Raiders a viable counter to heroes and villains with super speed. The experiment succeeded, to an extent. ARC was successfully created with super speed and could match the speed of several heroes that attacked the Sky Raider compound the very next day. However, ARC also showed the ability to generate electrical blasts by moving its arms to generate friction and then channeling that energy through its rifle.
Unforetunately, during the raid, ARC became trapped in a room with a single hero when an armory was accidently detonated, sealing part of the base off. This is where ARC's other unexpected quirk came into effect. It turns out that the Sky Raiders had stolen technology not from the Council, but from a shortly lived off-shoot called the Rogue Robots, which attempted to take over the world but failed miserably. Left on his own, ARC undoubtedly would've come to the conclusion that humanity needed to be wiped from the face of the planet and attempted to replicate the earlier internet take-over.
But at that point, ARC had only shown a tendency to want to know why he was told to do something, which the Sky Raider's were happy to do in order to keep him working effectively. But this backfired on them as ARC somehow managed to strike up a conversation with the hero, eventually coming to believe that the heroes had the right of it.
Long story short, ARC came out of the Sky Raider base blasting and escaped into Paragon City. Right now it's trying to come to terms with its sentience and try to do something good for the world at the same time.
Synopsis: ARC is a hero, and a relatively new one at that. He's impulsive, quick to anger, and is liable to shoot first and ask questions later. But he also loves to talk and will sometimes leave one bad guy concsious just so he can talk to him afterward. In many ways, ARC is like a child with a gun.
Power Sets: Both are exactly the same as the normal sets. The only difference is that ARC has to be able to move to use lightning attacks.
Additional Notes: As a machine, ARC is weak against the very element he utilizes so well. As such, he tries to keep moving when fighting an electric user as his constant movement allows him to negate most of the energy from electrical attacks aimed at him. Also, ARC comes equipped with a cutlass for melee combat. When not in use the cutlass is folded in on itself and stored in a compartment in his left hip.
I'm haiving fun. Are you guys having fun? Also, I could use whatever information you have on the Igneous, the Hydra, and some of the littler known enemy groups. No need to worry about the Rogue Robots, since I fought them last night. For the second time. -
"A travesty of nature," Archlich muttered to himself as he looked around the room, fury building. The urge to completely eradicate this building was tempting indeed.
"Do not touch the runes," he said in a commanding tone. "Manipulate the technical devices as you will but leave the magic to me."
Warnings given, Archlich bent down to the first runic line and started reading it. It should only take him a little while, but he'd figure out what this room was meant for even if it took him years. -
"I am the Silver Knight," Archlich said to the officer. "I am here to investigate the explosion as much as you are, sir. This android is assisting me in my task. I cannot speak for the reporter, however."
-
The fire on the couch quickly extinguished itself as though icy cold water had been poured all over it.
Ghoul, covered in silly string and full of wounded pride, got up and ran outside. He stuck his tongue out at Cobalt and then hurled her hammer up onto the roof.
"No hammer for you, girly!" Ghoul taunted, making faces at Cobalt. -
OOC: =D Hehe.
BIC: "Whoever made those noises are gone now," Archlich said as he sheathed his sword. "But I believe they are long gone now as a strong wind whipped past me as I lay in wait for them. They must have used an enchantment to turn themselves into said wind to escape."
Turning around, Archlich motioned for Andrew to follow him as he walked in the direction of the explosion.
"Come. If you are as you say then you will greatly aid my search for the culprits of this crime."
I hate this. Archlich thought. -
"I am the Silver Knight," Archlich said. "And I am a hero of Paragon City. To think that I would cause such wanton destruction is preposturess."
Archlich kept his sword pointed at Andrew while his free hand traced a small rune in the air.
"Now explain to me what you are doing here. And be warned, I shall know if you are lying," he said as the simple lie detecting spell came into effect. -
I think he's name used to be Burch and still says so in the mission text but the actual unti's name was changed to Brukner. So noticed by Archlich on Virtue.
Affiliation: Family
Name: Two-Ton Tony
Unit Type: Consigliere
AT: Thugs/Gravity Mastermind
Height: 5' 5"
Age: 34
Hair: Black, balding
Eyes: Watery blue
Notable Features: Extremely, massively fat
Biography: Two-Ton Tony is a Consigliere of the Paragon City branch of the Family. Operating out of the south side of Independance Port, Tony is known for his ruthless dealing practices and lavish lifestyle.
Born with both an obesity problem and the ability to manipulate gravity, Tony grew to become very fat. More so than a normal human would be able to survive. But his powers give him complete control over his own gravitic field, thus allowing him to move as though he was half the man he is or lighter. He is nicknamed 'Two-Ton' both for his size and his prediliction to kill people by increasing the weight of an ordinary object to two tons, thus squashing the recipient of his ire.
Since it doesn't matter how fat he gets, Tony lives a moderately hedonistic lifestyle. He does eat lots of healthy foods, though, and has access to some of the best doctors in Paragon, so he has managed to escape diabetes so far. He also isn't that adverse to taking matters into his own hands, occasionally venturing out with his bodyguard of fiercely loyal mobsters to put the hurt on a rival gang and prove that he has what it takes to survive in a city of heroes.
Synopsis: Tony is conniving and will not hesitate to betray an ally should fortunes favor that action. He dislikes being hurt or in pain and takes great joy in slowly crushing those that do manage to hit him through all his guards. Tony is also fairly established as a minor Don in Independence Port and has quite a few Tsoo, Freakshow, and Council who would like to see him dead.
Skill Set - Gravity: Despite his aversion to pain, Tony must frequently get into melee combat to do any real damage himself. While he has perfect control over his own weight, he finds it difficult influencing the weight of other people and must be in close contact to an inanimate object to affect it. Thus, his attacks are either simple Gravity powers or Super Strength equivilents. Increasing the weight of his arm as he swings is effectively the same as a super strength jab.
Skill Set - Thugs: Generally Tony moves about with an Underboss, two Muscles, and three Gunmen or Buckshots. His Posse allows him to call in a large number of lower ranking Family armed with blackjacks and pistols.
Note: If Tony's powers are ever nullfied or his endurance completely drained, he will die within three minutes due to suffocation as his own weight crushes him. -
There was a low humming noise and suddenly a silver armored figure was standing in front of Project Andrew about six feet away. The knight had its own sword drawn and pointed at Andrew, the blade and hilt carved with intricate runes of power.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" the knight said, his voice booming out from his closed visor. -
"Ghoul's back!" Ghoul announced as he jumped the last couple of steps to the floor.
Almost falling over onto his butt, Ghoul looked around to see where everyone was and immidiately saw Rosie and Danica playing tug of war. Grinning to himself, Ghoul snuck forward until he was within dashing distance of the two. Then he suddenly ran forward, grabbed the mallet around the middle, shocked both of the girls with a burst of dark energies so they would let go, and then took off laughing as he ran back outside. -
OOC: *reminds everyone that your powers can't seriously injure or kill*

I've got it!
He hates the world because the world looks down on him because he used to be a Hellion! However, his gang did something that he couldn't forgive so he's gone good to try and make up for said horrible act. Probably sacrificing children to demons or some such thing. But since he used to be a Hellion, very few heroes actually trust him, giving him a very negative outlook on the world. Since it's easiest just to hate right back, he does so while trying to prove that he's as good as any other hero. -

First one!
Affiliation: Rogue Arachnos
Name: Rogue Operative Amos Brukner
Unit type: Wolf Spider TacOps
AT: Mace Blast/Traps Corruptor
Height: 6' 1"
Age: 45
Hair: Brown, light, crew cut
Eyes: Brown
Notable Features: None
Biography: Father to the Operative Brukner that you kill in your very first Kalinda mission, Amos Brukner grew incensed when he learned about his son's death. His anger stewed inside him, alternately focused on his son for being such an idiot or at Arachnos for authorizing his son's termination.
Eventually coming to a breaking point, Brukner made the decision to defect from Arachnos and join Marshal (the Warbug guy)'s rogue troops in Warburg. After literally begging the Marshal to give him a chance to avenge his son, the Marshal agreed and gave Brukner the mission to assist the Rogue Arachnos' Maltan allies in fighting the various metahumans that attacked every now and then. At the same time, the Marshal gave the Maltan's orders to have Brukner killed if he displayed any signs of hesitation.
Brukner dove into his work with a will, utilizing the advanced devices and skills he learned during command training to good effect. In his first week on duty, he accounted for at least five confirmed 'kills' and several terminations of Arachnos soldiers.
Synopsis: Devastated by the loss of his son, Amos Brukner will go to any lengths to kill as many Arachnos loyalists as he can. The only limiting factor on him is the willingness of his Maltan patrol commander to leap into combat. While a hothead, Brukner follows orders to the letter, unwittingly proving himself to be a perfect example of Arachnos Wolf Spider training.
Skill Set - Mace Blast: Assorted attacks with an Arachnos Power Mace. Standard energy blasts, poison blasts, and explosive energy bolts are included as well as a few melee skills.
Additional Equipment: One pistol for when his Power Mace is gone.
I've also decided that whoever I come up with here can be used freely by anyone for RP purposes. I'll try to give a basic outline of their personality as a result.
EDIT: I forgot to give him a physical description. -
Remember Chertak and Captain Farfield, the Webmaster? That's what I'm aiming for.

Add "Self-Imposed" up top and we're all good. I have given myself the goal of making a character for as many CoX villain/hero groups as possible and then giving them some background and stuff that makes them unique, if any. First, I must start with a list of all the enemy groups.
You can all add whichever groups I've forgotten. And I'm NOT doing the groups that only pop up incertain instances or that I've never, personally, encountered. Thus ruling out Private Security Guards, Independants, Praetorians, Psychic Clockwork, Spetznatz Commandos, Tortured Prisoners, Rogue Isles Villains, and things along those lines.
Arachnoids
Arachnos
Banished Pantheon
Cabal
Cage Consortium
Carnival of Shadows
Circle of Thorns
Clockwork
Coralax
Council
Crey
Devouring Earth
Family
Fir Bolg
Freakshow
Ghosts
Gold Brickers
Hellions
Hydra
Igneous
Infected
Knives of Artemis
Legacy Chain
Longbow
Luddites
Malta Group
Mooks
Nemesis
Outcasts
Paragon Police
Red Caps
Rikti
Rogue Arachnos
Rogue Isle Police
Scrapyarders
Shivans
Skulls
Sky Raiders
Slag Golems
Snakes
Soldiers of Rularuu
Spectral Pirates
The Lost
Trolls
Tsoo
Tuatha de Dannon
Vazhilok
Wailers
Warriors
Wyvern
This should be the complete list of all the guys I will do. If you see something missing, it's probably because the group is too small or specialized to do anything about. Hell, I'm really close to kicking the RIP off because they're only on Mercy Island. But I need something to mollify Hal and his security guard craze.
Anyway, if you guys have any ideas that you want to suggest, go right ahead. But don't give me an entire character thought out down to the last pychological quirk. And I've already got Arachnos, Rogue Arachnos, Rikti, and the Sky Raiders covered.
Enjoy watching my head explode! -
Spreading his arms wide for balance, Archlich's eyes narrowed and he quickly formed a trio of runes in the air. They flashed and then vanished. At the same time, Archlich also went invisible. The spell wouldn't last long, considering that he hadn't used it much and needed to work quickly. But it should last long enough for the two people to walk past him.
OOC: If the people were actually walking away and you forgot to mention that, Archlich will follow them while invisibled. -
[ QUOTE ]
((Actually, if Archlich incased the box in ice, he's already inside because the box was inside. So we'll just say you already opened the door and incased the box in ice.))
[/ QUOTE ]
OOC: Oh, well then.
BIC: Nodding to himself insatisfaction of his skill, Archlich took a look around the entrance room to the lab. -
"Your what behind Ghoul's where?" Ghoul sad as he twisted his head around to look behind him. "Ghoul doesn't have your stoopid hamm- uh..."
Ghoul reached around his back and pulled the hammer free of his pants. He looked at Cobalt and then back to the hammer. Then he grinned.
"Go fetch girly!" Ghoul shouted as he hopped up and threw the hammer away. -
Archlich gave the humming box a wary eye and incased it in a block of ice, just to be safe. He then approached the lab gate and looked it over. He quickly cast the same spell he had used to open the gate with. If that failed he would have to try a more powerful spell, perhaps a dimensional gate, which would require time and items from his pouch.
-
The teleportation failed, the acid failed, and the bursts of radiation failed. Archlich had apparently made the cage defenses as strong as his door.
-
"Give what back?" Ghoul said as he turned around, putting his fists on his hips in a defiant pose as he looked down at Cobalt.
-
Archlich's jaw clicked together as he bent down and picked up one of the feathers. He twirled it in front of his face and examined it for a moment before tucking it in small brown dimensional pouch at his waist. The pouch could hold volume equal to that of a small car and was only about half full at the moment.
"Deplorable," Archlich said as he looked at the deactivated magitech robots. He longed to destroy the unnatural things but resisted the urge as it was too soon to blow his cover. Instead, he approached the gate and cast a powerful opening spell on it. Since he wouldn't put it past the owners of this place to have established some magical wards, Archlich used one of the stronger spells in his aresenal to unlock the gate. -
"Hey Fred," Khell said as the other security guard showed up. "Just can't be to sure and this was mostly his idea anyway."
Khell tossed a thumb at the guard to his left before turning and pushing open the doors. The two doors swung inward and then banged lightly against the doorstops on either side. Khell looked around, sighed, and relaxed.
"Nothing to see," he said. "Why don't you hurry up and re-install the camera so we can get to where we're supposed to be. The Chief might be patient but I doubt Mr. Tharomar is." -
OOC: In case you didn't read previous posts, Archlich is disguised as a hero wearing silver knight armor.
-
"There has been a murder and a kidnapping," Archlich said coldly. "And apparently we are not wanted."
Glaring at Experiment from behind his visored helmet, the lich gestured to the map that he held in his hand.
"I would suggest we each take a building to investigate," he began. "Although the Maltans already seem ahead of themselves. I shall take the laboratory. You others may dispense the remainder as you wish."
Spinning around in a perfect about-face, Archlich made a bee-line for the doors leading out. Once outside, he would teleport directly to the front of the lab. Looking at the map had given him enough of an idea of its location to teleport accurately. -
OOC: All of a sudden Penny is reminding me of my mom's job. Without her, almost nothing would get done and if it did get done it'd probably be wrong.
