I Need a Hero! (Casting Call)

That’s right! I need your heroes to star in my next story, Sharkhead Surprise, the story of a small band of capes who infiltrate the Rogue Isles to bring Corsage and her team of villains to justice following the events of Operation: Mayhem!

I’m looking for some vibrant and well developed characters to incorporate into my mythos. All entries will be considered, and I hope there are many from which to choose. Be as detailed as possible when describing your character. You’ll be turning him or her over to someone you never met, so the more info the better. Any details that the reader should not know at the start of the story should be PM’d to me.

One thing I absolutely want to know about every character is their attitude towards using lethal force. Even with only a rough mental outline, this will be a critical issue for the story.

Three pointers to consider before applying:

1. Like the villains in the first story, I am leaning towards fairly unknown and inexperienced heroes. Statesman caliber bad azzes or grizzled team leaders probably won’t make the cut.

2. If you read Operation: Mayhem! (and if you’re not Mr Grey, Build or Fate Tech, you probably didn’t :P) you’ll know my characters have to fall on their faces six to eight times before they get anywhere. Expect the same treatment for your guys.

3. While I will correspond with the chosen character’s owners over any touchy subject matter or grey areas in their personality, I proclaim editorial license. I don’t want any “My guy wouldn’t say that.” posts.

Now, let’s see some good guys!

Have at it with Ashen Roast and Blizzard Front. They're former Outcasts working for a new over-reaching supergroup called The Redeemers, a subsidiary of Freedom Corps. The group is full of ambiguous types, as most of them are former minions, lieutenants and boss-types from other villain organizations.

Ashen Roast is a Fire Tanker. He's usually pretty straight-laced, but can be given to bouts of anger. When this happens, he tends to make clumsy decisions. He flies .

Blizzard Front is an Ice Blaster. He's got a calm personality usually, but he also suffers from a lack of book-smarts (he's easily distracted). Ashen often accuses him of not taking things seriously enough. He uses super speed to get around ("sliding on super-slick ice").

They're not the most experienced heroes, nor are they the leaders of the Redeemers. However, they're competent enough (read: not always ) to warrant a mission like this.

They often travel with what has been jokingly called a Pocket Troll, a guy who would be the smallest Troll in the city if it weren't for the fact he still, because of his bulk, weighs more than Julius of the Hollows. Briggs McBain doesn't say much, but when he does, it comes out as violent, curse-filled gibberish. He tends to leap into the attack without thinking about the plan beforehand, and his tactics tend to involve bouncing his enemies' heads off the ground, whether that ground is dirt, rock, concrete, wood or steel. I don't intend on making the guy a character in-game, but I can't wait until I start writing him.

Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.

I would like to revisit my two heroes who were in seperate RP threads that both failed: Masonic Templar or Professor IQ. I would like to continue the adventures of either characters. If either of them fit your ideas, let me know.

MicroBeam, (PM sent)

Because I'm Lazy and I can edit...

Microbean has been locked in a wodden crate, by Spec Op's Sable. He could easily blast his way to freedom if Sable hadn't secured the crate with hellions who might wind up dying just because they was in the wrong place at the right time to be used as door stops. Looks like that hero needs a hero to save him too bad and too Late really cause now Sable has the part... Can't wait till April.

Spec Op's Sable ftw

Thank you all for your submisions. It looks like my heroic roster has been filled.

Do they have what it takes to stop Corsage and her malevolent cohorts?

Find out soon when Sharkhead Surprise hits shelves in April!

Introducing for your reading pleasure the biography of one of the heroes for this thread: Masonic Templar-
Masonic Templar was brought about by secret Masonic Ritual during the American War for Independence. The Ritual (an ancient ritual from the days of King Solomon) would bring to life a living being who embodied everything that is, was and will be about the Knights Templar and Freemasonry. So Templar basically is this living suit of armor

Masonic Templar

Masonic Templar2



Templar knows of every battle tactic, every piece of wisdom, every thought, everything about every Knight Templar and Freemason that ever lived or is living still. His power is uncalculable in theory (but in game he is security level 12) and "he" remains a powerful presense in Paragon City trying to assist anyone in need.

Templar is 7'7" 777lbs (all armor. There is only a spirit essense inside the armor that only those who are Magic or are a true Freemason (or Eastern Star) can see)
Templar is a Broadsword/Invulnerable Scrapper. His age is unknown (the Ritual though was done in September of 1776)

Real name?- none.. Masonic Templar or just "Templar" as he would call himself

Powers (official in game powers)- Hack, Slice, Parry, Resist Physical Damage, Temp. Invulnerability, Dull Pain, Resist Elements, Super Jump, Jump Kick, Ghost Slaying Axe, Blackwand Staff

He got his powers via the secret Ritual which brought together the essence and energy from every Knights Templar and Freemason that ever lived or is living still. He uses his power as the Tenets of Freemasonry dictate which is: Always help those in need, more especially a fellow Brother (or Sister) and always seek the Truth.

Lethal Force is unfortunately necessary. Every battle fought by his ancient Templar brethren only reminds him of that sad truth. Templar however also keeps himself circumscribed within the due boundaries of honor, respect, fairness, forgiveness and mercy and will exhibit such even in the most heated of battles. He will not hesitate to kill a villain if they try and do harm to others, to the innocent or for reasons only the battle can produce, but he will not kill for no reason or for vengence, etc. Templar is honorable in every aspect of "his" life.

Currently, Templar has been running around Faultline trying to stop the Arachnos infiltration at every turn. His greatest achievement may have been to save a band of newbie heroes from certain doom in the Hollows, he lead them to safety although had to be sent to the hospital in their saving. They were all eternally greatful to "him" for doing so.

Templar is an extremely thoughtful, introspective and wise being who can not only instantly sum up the prospects of a battle but can in the next moment be more compassionate than almost any "saintly" person of noted history.
Think of Templar similar to any "paladin" within any culture (or typical DnD game)
He is not however a "goody goody two shoes" though.. he is more complicated than any typical stererotype.. after all, he has the thoughts, wisdom and philosophies of an innumerable amount of Masons and Templar... He is ready to dispense justice with honor!

Introducing Leaping Lopez: She's a martial artist/would be Model/actress from Puerto Rico--recently made a citizen. She's very proud of her heritage, and young, impulsive, probably a bit overly optimistic and naive.
