KIRIN's Thunder

Post by The-Shadow-One »

KIRIN's Thunder
Murder has spattered the newspapers for the last year, murders of super-powered individuals or even prominent figures. The only thing linking these murders is a series of letters “TDTD” enclosed in an Eye of Horus carved on each corpse. Governments are baffled as to who or what is behind these murders as they differ variously to each other, one would be a complete massacre of a 5 story building where the other would be just one person in the middle of the night from seemingly natural causes.

That is where you come in operative, we at Kerston Intelligence, Research and Incarnation Network or KIRIN for short, have granted you amnesty from what crimes you’ve committed, or recruited you, or even picked you up from your bed in the middle of the night due to detection of an anomaly within your cells. You may be the ones to apprehend these murderers, and the organisation behind them.
The World:
Earth, a world inhabited by humans and his fellow creatures. It has only been in the last 30 years that those bearing SPIGs (Super Powered Individual Gifts), also known as Spigots have emerged into the public, sparking many numerous theories of government controversy, the initiation of the Global Mind Act (stopping people from using ‘I was mind controlled to do X’ even now some criminals still wander the streets due to late implementation of this act.) and scientific advancements. Largely history remains the same, singers that have vocal based powers are even frowned on (it also heralded the cutting of autotune.)
In the last 30 years, (it is now 2022) we have gained cell phones the size of nails, hover boards for the rebellious teens to take to the sky. Spigots with enhanced intelligence and mental capabilities have caused this and more. The future looks bright with the use of fossil fuels being cut down; vegans are now able to enjoy the sweet taste of bacon without any animals being harmed.
Prominent Figures:
Jack Kormin – Now in his second term as President of the United States he has successfully managed to stabilise the economy while turning the US into a Corporatocracy, where money rules all. His reign so far has seemed benevolent yet the poor either rise to be corrupt or fall into a downtrodden dirt street somewhere.
Director ‘Jacobin Nimble’ Jess Nibela – The director of KIRIN, Jess Nibela had come from rather humble roots. The director of KIRIN is noted to being a rather quick thinking person. Their moniker ‘Jacobin Nimble’ apparently more refers to their mental ability than their physical due to eyewitness accounts.
‘Rainbow Fox’ Rowan Jerlinson – Rowan is one of the highest profile Spigots around, and his powers help. A photokinetic of the highest known tier ‘Rainbow Fox’ is with KIRIN merely for research and aid purposes however he picks the easiest missions to do.
Professor Allister McGoni – Allister McGoni is the leading head of DOS (Determent of SPIGS) An advent protestor of the lack of Spigots registering their powers and their status, what he researches is entirely unknown yet it has something to do with genetics.

Now that’s the boring world taste making session over. Now on to the fun part!

CHARACTER CREATION!
Now power ground rules – Nothing like universal (concept/non tangible) such as time power, gravity, memory… at least not yet. To be frank I’d like for you to pm me about the full nuances of your power or talk with me in pm or on skype or whatever if you’re stuck on a power or think yours might be too overpowered. I’m here to fix that, easy but don’t feel like you have to do a flashy power.
Characters – You’ll probably be given codenames. You can leave them blank for me to fill in, or you can take your own, however the first letter of the code and real name must be the same. (Sebastien Monroe would be Silver Star) Appearances for you as Anomalous have the chances of you being rather weird to look at, the default way your anomaly will present itself is your right eye is inverted with the pupil and sclera colours being inverted unless you have another unique way it could present. And
Skills – I was going to go CASPIE and SPECIAL but personally as a DM I don’t like doing things like that, so put down what your character is skilled at, but don’t make a M/Gary Sue. Those die first you know.
Weaknesses – These could be things your power or your character is ineffective against, or it could be a time limit, or it could even be a mundane weakness, or you could just have no specific weakness other than what bothers humans.

Name:Joe Keller
Codename:Jute
Appearance: His body appears to be covered in thick, black woolen stitches, giving him the illusion of being a life sized rag doll. If it weren't for the fact other wise he'd look completely normal, you'd be hard pressed to tell he was a spigot. His spigot brand is (now) his stiches and the normal scerla and iris reversal .
Power(s!):Artificial body - his body is a empty 'shell' of sorts, a experiment on his own body in a attempt to expand his thread powers. Of course, it was pretty damn successful considering he's alive and (relatively) sane. As a result his body is incredibly 'tough'.
Organic "Thread" manipulation - He has the power to control threads that his 'core' thread generates, these threads mimic organs, tissues, and living beings. Allowing him to create various tool, weapons, and small 'minions' from it. As long as his core thread remains intact, he will stay alive despite sustaining great damages to his artificial body.

Skills; Great analytical skills, 'genius' for biological functions (not genetics, mind you.). Great chemistry knowledge, Anatomy and physiology knowledge.
He has minor skill in car driving, has basic hand to hand combat training. Inventive with resources (he made an effective paper cross bows and a shiv from candy before being put into isolation)Spigots
Weaknesses:Fire, sharp objects, and his Core Thread
Personality:nihilistic. What he does care about, is kept a secret known only to his closest friends. (that is, if he didn't turn them into Frankenstein's or betray their trust). he tries self medicating quite a lot of the time.
Equipment:A mobile lab kit, a mobile surgery kit,
Backstory: Keller was born dead.. or at least, to a cursory closer examination. He has no heartbeat, he does not breath, and he does not produce much body heat. Almost like a zombie, he reacted to stimulus as one would suspect.
For five hours they tried to resuscitate him before they saw his eye. The scalera and iris was inverted, revealing his nature to be of a spigot. They chalked up with zombie-state to his powers.. they were half right. His body, his real one, was not part of him. Not entirely, his true body was a long string of red.. material. It was organic in nature, definitely, but otherwise it was 'alien'. He had almost all of his organs.. but one, his brain was made up entirely of his red thread, which let him puppet his body. His life? Well he grew up normally.. up until five years ago at age twenty five did he start his descent into super villainy. Starting with a string of horrific medical procedures on spigots who's nature was like his- they had a external 'soul' that more or less controlled their body. To this day, there is still no reason why he did these procedures.. but it only went down hill from there. after the first experiments- simple transplants from one part of the body to another- he began attaching two 'soul stones' onto the same body, the results were.. less than pleasant and far more than horrifying. Sometimes the other victim wasn't even a spigot or a spigot of the same type. This escalated, as he Frankensteined spigots- and eventually nonspigots (should be noted most of these nonspigots... things were unsuccessful)- into horrifying monsters that sometimes could only scream in pain. Sometimes from multiple mouths. It wasn't until a year later- and hundreds of bodies- did he get caught. His final act was to turn the scalpel on him self and emptied his entire body and fill it with his organic string before sewing him self up. turning him into some sort of rag-doll like creature. Many suspect if it wasn't for his recovery time from his surgery he would of continued his spree at a escalated rate. he has been contained for six year to the day. Due to the nature of his power (and subsequent attempts at escaping) they have put him into what can only be described as a full body cast that would make hannibal's mask look tame.

Here's my character.
Hidden:
Name: Dr Viktor Cheng

Codename: Vanadium

Backstory: Viktor was born on February 5th, 1971 in the city of Beijing. His mother was a Russian Scientist named Katya Barkova. She defected from the Soviet Union in 1968 and moved to China. His father was a military officer named Wei Cheng, he died when Viktor was still a child. Viktor was an intelligent child and when he reached maturity studied Chemistry and Biology at Peking University. After achieving a doctorate, writing a thesis on the possibility of using SPIG DNA to bio-augment regular humans, he began to work for the Chinese Government. In 2017 Viktor became the lead researcher on 'Project Prometheus' a project designed to do exactly the things he wrote about in his thesis, steal fire from the gods. In 2020 Viktor was forcefully injected with the Prometheus Serum he developed. Out of fear for his life he fled China along with his research and moved to America. Viktor was recently approached by KIRIN who wanted to recruit him. Viktor joined believing it would be a mutually beneficial relationship, with his skills he could help them and with their resources he could further his research. He chose Vanadium as his code name, it's a silver-grey metal, much like his hair.

Viktor hopes with KIRIN's backing he'll be able to continue his research. That he'll not only refine and improve his Prometheus Serum but also find a way to use SPIG DNA to provide indefinite lifespan. He believes the secret lies in SPIGs who can restore the length of their telomeres, be that someone who is immortal or someone who can shape-shift.

Appearance: Viktor is a Eurasian (Sino-Russian to be precise) man in his early 50s, although he looks ten years younger than that. His Russian ancestry is far more noticeable than his Chinese. He is clean shaven, has grey eyes and has slicked back silver-grey hair. He is 6ft tall and has a strong, healthy and muscular build.

Power(s!): Prometheus Serum: The "Prometheus Serum" he developed was used on Viktor. As a result his cognitive functions, perception, strength, durability, agility, healing rate, immune system, etc have all been improved but not to a superhuman degree. He's like Captain America but not as good. It also seems to have slowed, but not halted, the aging process.

Skills: Viktor is multilingual, fluent in English, Chinese, Russian, German, Latin and French. He is very knowledgeable about the topics of Chemistry and Biology. He also knows quite a bit about History and Philosophy. He has knowledge of first-aid but ultimately he's a biologist, not a medical doctor.

Viktor is a physically fit individual and is skilled at fighting hand to hand and using handguns and rifles.

Weaknesses: No particular weakness, just what humans are generally weak to.

Personality: Viktor is a pragmatic individual, he's often cold and distant but he can also be warm and welcoming. He's an intelligent individual and rather prideful and confident in his own abilities. He is also very inquisitive and loves to learn more about the world. He is both asexual and aromantic.

Viktor prefers to spend his free-time listening to classical music, running, swimming, using firearms, reading and discussing science, history and philosophy and when he has the opportunity, flying an RC plane.

Equipment:

Weapons: Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle with sling, ammo and an attache case. .357 Magnum Six-Shot Double Action Revolver with ammo and holster. Combat Knife with sheath.

Outfit: Black canvas jacket. Dark-Grey long sleeved t-shirt. Black kevlar vest. Black combat trousers. Black combat boots. Black digital watch. Underwear and socks.

Other: Zippo Lighter. Mobile Phone. Combat-First Aid Kit.
So we have come to solve every squabble in the village personally?

:
Name: Amanda Colley
Codename: Aetherius
Backstory: Amanda grew up in Tennessee, on the outskirts of Nashville, a Southern Belle from birth. Her life was one of beauty pageants, cheerleading and homecoming queen wins up until high school graduation. Two years ago was when the voices started. She went to her graduation after party with a dozen or so of her friends. It was a pool party at her boyfriend's house, whose parents had gone on vacation for a week. Amanda was a little buzzed - not drunk, just buzzed - when she and Scott (her boyfriend) started to make out in the hot tub. The first voice said just one thing, but it chilled Amanda to her core. "I'm gonna [&@%!] your brains out," was what she heard. It didn't sound like any voice she knew. It was quiet but strong at the same time, like a recording of someone whispering with the volume turned up too loud. It echoed in her mind for several second after, as well. She had pushed away from Scott and ended the night early, excusing herself by saying she had a headache. Since then she's heard that voice almost everywhere she's been. She keeps it to herself, though, afraid of losing the half ride scholarship to the University of Tennessee. She takes over-the-counter depressants and listens to loud music in an effort to drown out or apathy out the voice. She is currently in her third year of college, going for her undergraduates in Criminal Justice.
Appearance: Amanda has light brown hair with blonde highlights and hazel eyes. She stands five foot four and would be considered good looking by almost anyone's measure.
Hidden:
Image
Power(s!): Telepathy. Amanda is unaware of it, but the voice she hears is actually not just one voice, or even a voice at all, but others' thoughts.
Skills; Knows a little bit of law from her studies, has a nice body and can win just about any pageant she enters.
Weaknesses: Chocolate, romantic walks on the beach, a guy who isn't afraid to cry
Personality: Amanda tries to be her bubbly self, but more often than not she keeps to herself around strangers, afraid of what she might hear the voice say to her.
Equipment: Purse with wallet, $120 USD, credit card with $4,000 limit ($1,049 balance), light red lipstick, makeup essentials (base, blush, eye shadow, powder), smart phone, backpack, 2-in-1 laptop/tablet
Clothing: Amanda is wearing a pair of blue jeans and a white long-sleeved form-fitting shirt. Over that she's wearing a pink zip-up sweater. Her bra is cream colored and her panties are a light blue with black polka dots. She's wearing white socks and a pair of gray and pink running shoes.
Added clothing. Hope I make it!

Hello!
Spoiler:
Name: Sherwood Croft
Codename: Spectre
Backstory: Sherwood was born in Hampshire, England to an aristocratic family. He spent his younger years as a socialite, spending the majority of his time at functions, events and parties. He struggled for a year with a gambling addiction, but at the age of 20, became friends with an older woman, Laura, whose influence slowly pulled him away from his gambling habit.
Quickly, their relationship grew and they got engaged to each other. A few months later, his fiancée announced that she needed to move to North America for her career. Sherwood tried to convince her to do something else; that she didn't have to go, but she insisted. Therefore, at the young age of 22, he emigrated with Laura and started to build a life there. Not long after moving, he started having odd episodes where he would seem like he was somewhere else and then wake up as if had been dreaming. Soon realising that he had a SPIG, he began seeing what kind of things he could do. His power scared him, however, as he did not know what would happen in anyone found out about it. He would not even tell his fiancée, but she could sense that there was something going on with him. In the several months since, his secret has strained their relationship and they have become more distant with each other.

Appearance: Shaggy auburn hair. Sea grey eyes. 5ft 10in. Slim build.
Hidden:
Image
Power(s!): Ghost Form: He can project himself outside of his physical body, producing a non-corporeal 'ghost' of himself. He can see himself as he normally would whilst in GF but he is invisible to everyone else. Though initially unable to interact with objects, with a bit of practice he has had some success with it.
Skills; Great social skills. Is good with a rifle. Fencing. Good with computers.
Weaknesses: While in ghost form, Sherwood's body becomes inactive as his conscious mind leaves his body. Gambling. Scared of heights.
Personality: Fun loving, with a cheeky disposition. He gets bored easily and is always on the lookout for something wild and adventurous to get up to. Confident but has become slightly less so since discovering his power. Fashion conscious and is generous to other people.
Equipment: Latest most popular smart phone, Keys (to car and apartment), Cartier watch, Tablet computer, Mp3 player, Leather wallet containing money and credit cards. Pair of sunglasses.
He is currently wearing a pair of dark blue denim jeans, a brown leather belt, a casual white shirt, smart white lace-up trainers/sneakers and a casual grey blazer. All his clothes are designer brands.

Ooops! Naming him was the last thing I did and I never registered the surname with the fact he was a British aristocrat too. Oh! I just realised that I called his fiancee, Laura as well. >_<

Hidden:
Name: Dick Lains
Codename: Drakon
Backstory: Ever flushed your dead fish down the toilet and wondered if the urban legends of a man sized croc were true? Ever thought about the random murders in the sewers or why the sewers are off limits for certain periods of time? Well, it's all because of this man or rather, lizard for you see. Dick Lains was born human but grew up into a lizard. Shunned by society, shunned by his friends and shunned by others, he sought the sewers and the sewers are his! He suffered a rare mutation of the genes which caused him to become a man sized croc or so the legend goes. Now, this man, or beast is said to have been accepted by society and had friends during his 16th year on this earth until a tragic encounter with a few average bullies resulted in society wanting his head on a spike. He fled to the sewers and made it his. But the legend is not a legend for he is real. Dick Lains is the killer lizard and has killed anyone that dared to hunt him or captured him. The bodies were never found but should you see him, do not [&@%!] him off. Do not approach him and do not engage with him! He may still respond to reason. After approval was granted, we caught him in the sewers of LA after intercepting some locals who wanted to add the man to their hunting collection. None left that sewer for Dick Lains had killed them and would have done us in if we used force. We merely informed him of our purpose and he willingly came with us. He roams from city to city but if everything goes ahead as planned, he may no longer need to live that way. Dick willingly allowed a collar to be attached as per operating procedure and has been fairly co-operative.
Appearance: Dick Lains is 5'7ft tall and has black scales all over his body. He is fairly muscular and his tail is 1ft long, 2ft wide. His teeth are like a croc's. His eyes are black and pupilless. His hands have 3 fingers and 1 thumb but his claws are blood red and his nose consists of two slits. He has no hair and only has a pair of ruined jeans. He seems to have no ears but that does not affect his hearing and he has two gills on the side of his neck. His feet resembles humans but only has 4 toes.
Power(s!): Retractable Claws. One claw is as sharp as an average combat knife. He has 16 in total.(8 in his hands, 8 in his feet) Wall/Ceiling climbing.
Skills; Dick excels at fighting in close quarters. His combat style is rather agile and he uses a mixture of speed, agility and strength. He has a rather strong sense of smell and is good at remaining hidden.
Weaknesses: Dick must ensure that his bare skin contacts the wall in order to climb it and can only extend 8 claws at a time. He is no good in large open spaces without walls.
Personality: Dick may come off as someone that doesn't give a [&@%!] but he is a caring man and wants to be accepted. He is fed up of being alone. He hates anyone that views him as a prize to be caught or killed and god help you if you attempt to harm someone that is different in front of him. He respects those who doesn't care about appearances and wants to do good. But he has killed in the past to protect himself and will eat the remains of his foe if he is hungry or the body needs to be hidden. He doesn't view himself as a human and is damn proud of himself. He has a deep fear of turning into a feral killing machine and knows that he will never have a normal life.
Equipment: He is his equipment.

Re: KIRIN's Thunder

Post by Dirty Spaceman »

Fun fact: I was thinking of having her born on February 5th because that's my own birthday, but then I realized that a certain other PC already had a claim to that day. Then I decided, screw it, I'll make it February 5th anyway. I wonder if it'll ever come up that she and Viktor have the same birthday, only 18 years apart. :P
Hidden:
Name: Madeline Song
Codename: Mercury
Backstory:
Spoiler:
Born February 5, 1999 as the second child of two Korean immigrants living in Victoria, BC, Maddie was a constantly happy, smiling child. Due to the characteristic inverted right eye, her parents knew she had a SPIG, but decided to bide their time to wait and see what it was. The discovery of her ability came about rather innocuously, on a particularly sweltering summer day when she was six years old. Having been told that people lose the most heat through the hands, feet, and head, she (being a six-year-old child) stubbornly tried to 'force' the heat out through those avenues. She did not think it anything unusual when this attempt was successful in lowering her body temperature, or when the ground beneath her got slightly warmer.

As she got older, she got more practice and got a more complete image of the extent of her ability. Knowing this, though, she did not decide to fight crime and save the world; rather, she mostly would use her powers to keep herself cool, and warm up food. She did help others in certain ways, but only when they asked her. She would microwave food and cool down drinks for her friends. In return, she occasionally would mess with them by taking a bit of their heat to make herself a little warmer during the winter. Just enough to annoy them, and at the same time make herself just a little more comfortable.

She was interested in learning about the physical and biological mechanics that related to her abilities, so for a time she seemed set to go into the pure sciences, and her parents certainly pressured her to follow that path. As it turned out, though, at the end of her first year of a Physics degree at the University of British Columbia, she came to accept the fact that she lacked the passion for science as a whole. She ended up instead following her talent and love for the cello and piano, making the rather significant switch into UBC's Music program. 2021-22 was her final year in the program, and she soon had her degree in hand, looking forward to a job as a music instructor.

It was in the wee hours of the night at a post-graduation party that a boy in her class named Wallace, whom she'd known for the past four years and considered a good friend, tried to rape her.

He was a long way drunk and must have thought she wasn't being serious when she outright told him no, but she didn't think about that until afterwards. In the moment, the only thing on her mind was to escape. And it didn't help that she was quite intoxicated as well. She didn't even truly realize that she was using her power until Wallace was lifeless on the ground beside her. Nearly one million Joules of energy had been delivered to his chest in less than two seconds - and what had been enough to kill him with heat when applied to his torso, was nearly enough to kill her with cold when taken from her whole body. But in the end, she survived, and soon found out that he had not.

The justice system didn't know what to do with her. Her family attorney was prepared to argue clear-cut self-defense, but with her SPIG as part of the equation, practically everyone else wanted to stay as far away from the case as possible, and so it was delayed and delayed. The people who knew Madeline became either supportive and sympathetic, or distant and fearful. Maddie herself was distraught. She perseverated on the fact that Wallace was merely 'misguided', but she knew that with the state in which he'd been, it might have been impossible to talk him down. What she'd done might have been her only way to escape. But she could not shake herself from the fact that she had killed a human being. And she had no way to decide on what that meant for her.

When KIRIN got in contact with her, she thought long and hard about it but soon realized that it was an easy decision. Perhaps she could figure things out with a bit of fresh air and action, perhaps not. At least she might be able to do some good.

Appearance: Maddie is ethnically a full Korean. She has brown eyes (although her right is 'inverted' in the manner indicative of a SPIG), soft features that lend themselves easily to a bright smile, and long dark hair that she normally keeps in a single braid down her back. She has a plain, slim figure with not much curve to it, and is pretty in a modest way.
Power(s!): Thermal conductivity. She can absorb or donate heat to any object as long as she is in direct contact with it. Unless there is another safe heat source or outlet on hand, the only reservoir for this thermal energy is her own body - and so she is generally limited by how much heat she can safely store, or go without.
Skills: Madeline is fluent in English and Korean, and speaks without an accent in either. She is highly proficient in piano, cello, and music theory. She knows enough science to explain her powers, and still retains a bit of university-level physics.
Weaknesses: In regards to her powers, taking on or losing too much heat will obviously have adverse effects on her body. In order to use her full strength, which she did on Wallace, she reached levels of heat depletion in the range of severe hypothermia. Although she was able to regain heat quickly afterwards thanks to the warm surroundings, she still required medical attention to make a full recovery. Currently, she is also in poor shape mentally, potentially bordering on depression.
Personality: Maddie was typically an excitable, bubbly young woman. And she still is - whenever she can take her mind off of what happened that night with Wallace, that is. And even then, it often takes effort, and tends to make her feel like she is someone trying to play the part of her former self. She has always been emotional, but in the past she made quick recoveries from any outbursts of sadness or anger. Now she spends much of the time in a state of melancholy, which her friends and family worry about developing into depression. Some of them say it already has.
Equipment: Backpack containing smartphone, makeup case, family home keys, wallet (credit card, IDs, $80 CAD). Wearing grey sweatpants, an Old Navy zip-up hoodie over a peach-coloured blouse, and black sneakers.
Edited.

Everything is fine there Space... Except the power.

Electromagnetism is non-tangible and rather universal, and I just can't help but feel like it's too much.. Especially since you emit X-Rays and heat and other forms of radiation.. So I sincerely suggest you revise that even with your weakness.

Well, everybody already emits electromagnetic radiation, she just has the ability to control where and how much. All she can really do in a practical situation is heat things up (yes, she can use it to hurt people, but for the time being she is mortified at the very thought) and lift small metal objects between her hands. I mean, sending out X-rays, for example, won't do much outside of a hospital except maybe give someone cancer if she really concentrates the waves.

The one thing that I did forget, though, is to give her the anomaly eye thingy. I'll edit her appearance and backstory to reflect this, but I'll wait until your response to this so I can make any other edits all in one go.
