Who Are You, Really?

Hmm... I can do this.

Windy Skye appears much as she normally does, though perhaps her clothes seem a little more reminescent of the 1970s. Surrounding her, however, is the ghostly image of Donar, the Teutonic god of thunder... is translucent form mirrors her every action. When angry or in battle, the eyes of Donar shine with blinding flashes of lightning.

The Brown Mouse, a diminutive woman clad in simple spandex costume in reality... she appears much more ferocious and larger the than life --and not at all mouse-like.

Agent Arcanum is a man clad in a blue suit and fedora hat from the 1930s who wields an old-fashioned Tommy Gun in addition to his mystic powers. In the spirit realm, he looks exactly as he does in the physical world... except that he seems a little more "everything." He's more mysterious, more strong, more reserved, more chin, more blue in his blue suit. Everything about him seems more real and somehow unreal at the same time.

Hope you don't mind a late-comer to a somewhat old thread. A very cool idea! So here goes with a few of my favorite characters:

Steelshock: A tall figure clad in white-gold full plate armor carrying a heraldic shield with a curious stylized double "I" emblazoned on it. His face is hidden behind a veil, while his hands and head glow with a whitish effulgence. His voice is soothing and his body gives off a curious warmth.

Ironburst: A large and ferocious madman wearing an undone straitjacket, his face in an iron mask. Blood trickles from the eye sockets of the mask, and broken chains are manacled to his ankles. Around his waist is belted a coil of thin rope from which dangles a glinting wedding band.

CASsie: A young woman dressed in rags but with bright electric blue eyes. She is almost always in the company of a band of tiny blue will-o-the-wisps that light on her hands and shoulders. There is an expression of intense eagerness on her face.

The Cybertyrant: A huge black storm cloud with a vague suggestion of humanoid shape. Red lightning plays through the form while a black hand reaches out to clutch and claw. Sometimes insane laughter can be heard amid the thunder.

Well great. Now I have to go make a costume to represent this with Junior :P

If we're going for WoD-style visualization, Junior would definitely crawl with whatever you want to imagine the Wyrm's influence to look like. He's a clone, and genetically tampered-with at that. His face is only half there, with the other half in darkness, and there is no warmth behind his eyes despite which expression his face is formed into. (not sure about this next part - might nix it) An emotional predator, his body looks starved, and his hands end in talons.

How Antecedent sees himself is what I'd consider his "Sight"-face. Despite having come to terms with his identity long ago, he still can't help but see himself in his "original" costume - though sometimes (and he'd never admit it) he sees a black and red uniform. It's probably nothing.

Warp Fire (who I haven't played in forever - and probably won't play again soon but what the hell) appears in the spirit world as the demon that's bound to his powered-armor, the armor appearing as glyphs on the demon's skin.

As a pure techno-geek, Groundwire (another long-abandoned character) is pretty vanilla. HIS powered-armor looks merely like whatever technology would look like. No strings, no twists.

On the other hand; his creation, 24kt PirateBot, appears haunted by the shades of a pirate crew. This may or may not be due to Groundwire's unfortunate decision, in his enthusiasm for authenticity, to plate PirateBot with genuine pirate gold.

Well let's see...

Fortunata Prelude would be lost in the middle of a brightly radiant aura of power with only the barest, fleeting glimpse of a young girl in a too-large fortunata uniform that hangs loosely about, hiding her in the folds of cloth.

The Necrobiologist would be a dirty, empty lab-coat. Or as something actually creatable in the costume designer, with his usual scientist's garb, rubber gloves, boots and protective filtration mask. Only difference is that behind the eyepieces of the mask are empty eyesockets.

Fenrisulfr would be a twisted, obese version of his usual self, almost like a fuzzy Jabba the Hutt with a wolf's muzzle.

The Follow Up appears as a faint version of his physical self, except his robotic hands, forearms and legs are golden, and a glowing tracery of his nervous system overlays his entire body.

The Crystal Witch would be tiny, and weighed down with unseen burdens. Her magic brightens the air about her with little sparkling lights.

Enerjack would be as close to an adolescence hero as possible. Course he doesn't wear a mask but he has no reason to since running away. Originally he started out as a character I came up with that was more of a fanfic character for Heroes but he dates back longer than that. I use Static Shock and Dr. Manhatten as a good template, he's a nineteen year old boy genius with a knack for chemistry, physiology, and math. His original power was as standard as could be, manipulating and conducting electricity. But his knowledge on the periodic table lead him to always question, "What if." Where he evolved accordingly to how he interpreted the process works, manipulating the elements around him and through him as means to bend nearly anything to his will. From charging conductive objects to create magnetism, firing a pure beam of plasma as a bolt, or allowing him to teleport.


Mist on the other hand (in game he's called Mist of Shadows) was more of a genetic experiment gone wrong and he stumbled into the chaos becoming mutated. He's like Spawn crossing with Moon Knight, the idea came up when I watched the animated movie of Batman Sub Zero and the chick disguised as The Phantom used some kind of fog-device as a calling card to arrive and appear. Mist does that, he also wields an assortment of handguns throughout his body but he's no stranger to melee combat.


Romulus Gilgamesh is my interpretation of a diabolical Angel wishing for the "True Utopia" by subjecting the world to Armageddon. He's willing to conspire even with his sworn enemy, only to strike them when their back is turned. Not to mention he's very deceiving, very polite and seemingly non-violent but let your guard down and he'll likely use every opportunity to his advantage to remove one from his mental impression of a Chess Board.

Oh, how I always love these things. Especially as some of the answers are gonna come out ridiculously pretentious, one of mine most likely included. Worst of all, I spent too much time talking in character and have problems getting Stranglehold's voice out of my head right now.


Eisregen - Would appear as a younger version of himself, a man looking to be in his 30s with blonde hair. He's wearing the negative image of a SS uniform, white with black trim, though boots and gloves retain their normal colour. However, instead of an armband with a swastika he wears one with the image of the Vitruvian Man on it. He bears no rank insignia but carries what looks like an old-fashioned marshal's baton, made of ice.

Stranglehold - Is a jumble of imagery. His core physical body appears much as it would in life, though with somewhat longer and disheveled hair, some strands always dangling in front of his face. Beneath the hair, his eyes seem to constantly be aflicker from rage or maybe madness.

He is nude except for a heavy scarlet loincloth and a blackened and battered steel gorget and attached spaulders. The remnants of a pair of wings sprout from his back. While half of the right one remains, the other is reduced to a stump. What's left of them looks mauled and singed.

His skin is painted in henna from top to bottom, with writing in various languages, from Latin to Arabic to Sanskrit and interspersed with geographical symbols. Beneath the henna, the outlines of human (and sometimes not so human) faces appear and disappear, as if real beings were trying to push out from the inside. Every so often, one of these faces actually manages to gnaw its was through the skin to let out a scream of agony before receding again.


Noisebleed - Again appears much as he would in life. A young man, almost still a boy, in fashionable urban pants, wearing a pair of Chucks and sporting a Muse t-shirt. But this form is riddled with holes like a Swiss cheese. Parts of him are simply missing. If an object (or appendage) is placed within one of those holes, it simply shuts tight and keeps whatever is inside prisoner.

((Nice that this thread has been rezzed.

HEROID - Roy Kirby would appear as a large, muscular human no matter whether he was in his robotic body or his human one. But behind him would stand a dark, hulking shadow even larger than he is.

Rogue Atom - Tami would look like a girl-shaped doorway, and just on the other side of that doorway would be another Tami who looked like a girl-shaped doorway, and just on the other side of that doorway would be another Tami who looked like a girl-shaped doorway, and just...

Alias Smith - Would look like a shadow with one open eye, and that eye would look like the iconic eyes that ancient races drew on the walls of temples, caves, and pyramids.

Winter Girl - Colleen would appear as a little girl dressed in a tattered cheerleader's skirt. She appears alone, afraid, uncertain, confused. Very confused.

Daniel Mathis (Carpe Potestatem): Vaguely humanoid construct of psionic energy, radiating with it the desire to protect humanity and eliminate every extradimensional threat.

Netherscourge: Balance personified. A nude, genderless human, featureless and emotionless, wearing a white skull mask smouldering with grey energies. The area around him is bleak and grey, bearing neither order or chaos; good or evil.
