glad to see some interest. below is my first batch of characters for RT2. These are relatively core characters to Madadric and his story, and Rebecca & Hurin are up for grabs. Claiming them will garner you more information on the character's tie to mad, and then it's up to you how they develop.
MY CHARACTERS part 1
The only character i really need to play myself is mad, all the others are up for grabs.
**************************
name - Madadric
age - looks about 30, is actually about 72, immortal.
appearance - Mad stands about 6 and a half feet tall, has long, flowing red hair hanging half way down his back that always looks messy and wild.He looks to be about 30 years old, with a constant 2 day growth of stubble. his general appearance is untidy, and a feral grin is never far away. His most notable feature are his eyes, yellow pupils with red irises.
origin - Madadric was in the first RT, where he died after a series of destructive battles. He has spent 50 years in a hell dimension, growing stronger and becoming more demonic and forgetting more of his humanity. His return to the RT world signifies great change, much of it brought about by him.
Personality - Mad is very much an Id. He runs purely on emotion and desire, the desire to fight, to strive, and the desire to feed on demonic flesh. He cannot sit still, he needs constant movement and change about him, he barely ever sleeps, and he is quite insane. His motives are as yet unclear, but his actions seem antagonistic to all govornments and societies.
Powers - Bear in mind that Mad is The Big Bad here. I hav made him scary big powers wise so he seems a danger. i have gicen him a big weakness, but that's for you all to figure out by yourselves.
Transformation: Mad can transform into a demonic version of himself, taller, more muscled, tough bone-like armour, bestial style legs, and if he desires, large bat-like wings. this is mostly for show, as he is as strong in his 'human' form as he is in this form. He can also mimic the appearence of a person if he has drunk a litre of their blood.
Teleportation: just a note, i want teleportation to be a rare, and very limited skill. certainly no more powerful than Mad's version. Mad can teleport about 900 kilometers, and must use shadows as portals. and shadow that covers enough area that he can stand on it or walk into it is enough. Mad can only use this teleport to go to areas he has already been in the vicinity of, so he will have to travel via more mundane means for a while.
Strength: Mad is very strong, strong enough to smash through a concrete wall, crush a skull, throw a tank, basic super strength.
Speed: Mad is fast, not as fast as a bullet, but faster than most people pulling the trigger.
Very Minor Hypnosis: If a victim looks Mad in the eye, he can quickly hypnotize them for a few seconds, enough time for him to leap at them and tear their head off. This skill will have no effect on Telepaths.
Toughness: super tough. can take bullets in the chest and keep laughing, can crawl out from buildings dropped on him. tenacious does not begin to describe him.
Regeneration: Can regenerate almost any damage. The extent of this ability is not known, by Mad or anyone else. Parts that regenerate come back stronger and tougher, and mad's humanity is again reduced.
Conversion: There are some mortal humans that mad can sense a familiarity with. The compatibility seems completely random, and only mad can tell if a person fits this catagory. This compatability means that mad can use a little of his demonic energy to make that human a demon like him, but mortal. This means powers for mundane humans, and new, different powers on top of the old for Parahumans. It usually takes madadric about 1/2 a day to 2 days to convert someone, and he can't much concentrate on anything else for that time, although he can come back and finish the job later.
All conversion subjects are driven insane, but don't necisarily join Mad in his exploits.
************************
Name - Rebecca Stanton
age - 28
appearance - shoulder length blonde hair up in a messy bun, thin wire frame spectacles, not unattractive, but not beautiful, a few wrinkles around the eyes. Usually looks very vague unless working on some liturature or artefact, when she looks very focused.
origin - ever since she was a girl, Rebecca has been fascinated with anchient writings, and trying to solve the puzzles of lost cultures. Soon after she graduated from university, she was hand-picked, among several other leading anthropological students to translate some texts found in the Hateful Forest in Australia. The other students made no headway, but Rebecca persevered, and made many breakthroughs, and discovered that the text was actually an account of the life of one of the ExpaTriates, including the events that took place 15 years ago. (RT1) As she became more and more obsessed with the man she was deciphering, her superiors removed her from the project and closed it.
Personality - Rebecca is driven by her need to know what happened in the catastrophe 15 years ago, and she has a strong desired to find out all she can about madadric and his writings still in the forest. After her part in Mad's return to the world, she has to come to terms with his actions and her responsibility for returning him. Bec will be a challenge to play as a character, if you are interested more in characterisation than powers, of which she only has the deciphering of written language, a mild and unpredictable talent at best.
Powers - As i said, Rebecca's only powers is that given time, a few hours, she can decipher and written language/code. She will not be enhanced by Mad, and he has his own reasons for this.
***********************
name - Hurin Tharaka
age - 17
appearance - Hurin is one of the Chantha from Mad's Hell Dimension. The chantha have caramel-colored skin, small, pointed cone-like ears, and sinuous long furry tails, like a cat's. The Chantha are a firce warrior race that lives in tribes, and Hurin is a well-built warrior, wiry and strong, with no fat. man scars criss-cross his torso and arms.
origin - Hurin is a young warrior who used to belong to one of the clans, but was ostricized when he fell in love with one of the newly arrived humans before she became a demon. The woman was later killed by hunters from another Chantha tribe, and Hurin killed many of them in a fit of revenge. He would have died, however, if madadric had not been attracted by the sound of battle and slaughtered the hunters en masse.
personality - Hurin now travels with Madadric, believing in him is the answer for the Chantha and the demonic humans to live together. Hurin does not speak any other language than chantha, a language i have written somewhere for anyone who wishes to play him. mad, and maybe Rand are the only two who are likely to understand Hurin's language, although hurin does understand a little of the english language, and is learning more all the time.
Arriving in the RT universe is a shock for Hurni, but he quickly adapts, and still remains madadric's loyal follower. Hurin will likely end up being the bodyguard for Rebecca.
Powers - Hurin is a warrior born and bred, but he is still just a mortal, and from a low-tech world of swords, spears, and bows. his preffered weapon is the halberd, but he can use most melle weapons and bows with high skill. He is also a fast learner, and would quicklt master the concept of guns. however, he would need proper training to be any good at shooting with any accuracy or maintianing the weapon.
More characters to come later!
