Spoiler for People: Richard Smithson:

Show

Name: Richard Smithson
Age: Early-mid 20s
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 440~ lbs
Profession: wRHG/RHG Blacksmith, creator of high tech weapons and armours.
Appearance: White shirt, white gloves sewn to the inside of the shirt's cuffs. Jeans, black sneakers. Messy black hair, unkempt beard. Grey, almost mirror-like irises.

Spoiler for Abilities:

Show

Rich is very heavy and has a knack for figuring out how things work, be it biological or mechanical, or both. His clothes are a makeshift jumpsuit, enforced with Kevlar. They all zip and lock together. His arms and eyes are mechanical and he has a mechanical endoskeleton, making sure the heavy arms don't disfigure him over time and that his body can keep up with the strength of the arms.

The arms are strong, containing multiple tools in use for construction, though they have intimidating appearances. Inaccessible with his shirt on, each arm contains a pneumatic nail/rivet gun (stylised with fake revolving barrels), two large blades, one very sharp, small wrist blade, a chainsaw and a small flamethrower. His eyes allow him to take low res pictures that can be sent to his phone, have a small zoom capability (2x) and allow him to play a few very simple games, like Pac Man.

Spoiler for About:

Show

Rich was a man who fell down into nothing, then rose himself back up twice as high. Sadly, this left long-term effects, such as a half-mechanical body and most of his flesh being covered in scars, mostly burns. He wears his jumpsuit-like clothing so he could integrate into society and look normal, save for white gloves and a bit of light facial make-up. He showers blindfolded, as even glimpses of his body throws him into PTSD panic attacks.

He gets by just fine with others, and he loves to create. They say magic is just technology we don't understand just yet, and he's close to that. With his skills, he decided to live in a place where everyone is different, where he spends his time crafting unique weapons and armours for the folks. A strange blacksmith for a strange land.

Spoiler for Places: Cloudfell City:

Show

Spoiler for Images:

Show

Cloudfell City was named so because around a century ago, it descended from the sky from a cloak of clouds. It appears that a civilisation was once there. One third of the island held crumbling cities that seemed to be built for creatures larger than man. The other two thirds of the island were walled off, a more natural-looking area with landmarks here and there. This area feels like a nature preserve, but as you explore, it feels more like a holding cell. Something the civilised were trying to keep in.

In the southern part of the island, the area with the desolate towns and villages, Cloudfell City was created. From the outside, it appears to be a giant circular wall with a highway running through it. Inside, the highway can be seen running through a large wall that separates the city into two halves.

One half is lively, full of tourists and people with special abilities, tools and characteristics. Fights are held here, people aiming to get stronger for this reason or that, a very animated part of the city. This half is known as the Battle Side, and holds arenas, hotels, restaurants and all sorts of tourist attractions.

The other half is the relaxed area, where such special people from around the world settle down in a place where they can feel normal. When everyone is super, nobody is, and to many that feels like exactly what they need. To not be shunned, to just fit in. This half is known as the Home Side. Here there are apartments, houses, parks, stores and a few recreational facilities like a firing range or just a place where people can let off steam with their powers.

Spoiler for Entering the City:

Show

When you enter the City, if you are someone with unique abilities, tools or what have you (Called Emps, short for 'Empowered') then you are processed. During this you input your normal information, and a team of people are set to assess your abilities and strengths. After going through the process, and being granted citizenship, each person gets their own unique ID card, giving general basic info like date of birth, name, ID number, as well as rank. There are multiple ranks: Citizen, Gladiator in training, Gladiator, and OP levels 1 through 4.

Citizen: This goes for someone regardless of their power. If they don’t choose to be a Gladiator, they’re allowed a normal life. This is mostly for those who want to feel normal around other empowered people, or are family members/loved ones of empowered people. Shown as a black “C” with a white holograph.

Gladiator in training: If you apply for Gladiator and aren’t considered powerful enough, you are given this rank and six months’ notice before your next audition. This time is used so they can better themselves and make themselves stronger, until they are Gladiator-level. Shown as a red “T” with a red holograph.

Gladiator: If you are a Gladiator, you are allowed to fight other Gladiators. Be it organised or upon whim. There are specially designated parts of the city where battles can happen, and the island beyond the walls are free reign outside of the villages. (It depends per village, really.) Shown as a green “G” with a green holograph.

OP levels 1-4: Gladiators that are proven too powerful are given OP level 1, 2, 3 or 4. These people can still fight, but they have to notify the opponent of their OP level, and aren’t allowed to fight regular Gladiators unless it’s prearranged. OP people are allowed special jobs, such as City Police, Gladiator Wranglers and City Maintenance. They are kept on constant watch. There are currently no OP level 4 people. Shown as an orange OP1/OP2/OP3/OP4 with a yellow holograph.

OP1 - Able to easily destroy a city block/street.

OP2 - Able to easily destroy a small city.

OP3 - Able to easily destroy a large city.

OP4 - Able to easily destroy an island.

EDIT: just curious, though, but how would they rank people with the gear? I mean, look at Altaer. Without his gear, he's pretty much just a really hardened fighter. With appropriate gear, he could wreak havoc and would likely be between OP 1 and OP 2.

They assess you and rank you based on that. You pretty much get put into an area, show off your thang, and they'll rank. I doubt you'd do that outside of your gear.

[Piston1937]

I would put Jack or steam down but neither one really seems like they would go somewhere and be seen.

Maybe I'll just put Runs and Duns down. And maybe Inky's library.

[Crank]

Alright, just toss them on the tread when they're ready!

Spoiler for Jett:

Jett

Spoiler for Name and info:

Show

Name : Jett Archibald Crunto

Age : 23

Job : Media sensation

Gender : Male

Race : Human

Spoiler for Lucky man:

Show

Jett is not a normal person. He has a passive ability he has no control over. This ability being a control over luck means that thing will usually end up going in his favor. But this is only when there is a chance. Say you were play russian roulette. He would put the half loaded gun to his head and it would go click. But say the gun was fully loaded. He would pull the trigger and bang brains splattered everywhere. But that takes out everything else. You have to input everything around him. Say the house you are in and is very old. Then a board might fall and divert the gun as he is pulling the trigger. But this also means that if something is one hundred percent certain then he can’t stop it. Say he is going to be thrown across a warehouse. Probability would say that for him to be thrown across a football field long warehouse he would be thrown pretty hard and probably die on impact. Then input what the warehouse is containing. Say someone at some time stored a plush bed in it. Then say he might land on said plush bed. It is all down to chance right? Though this power doesn’t always take the best outcome. He might get his fingers crushed if the board fell on the gun. Maybe the bed has firmed up during its stay. This ability will stop him from dying but not from getting hurt. And it has a backlash effect. Luck can’t be created it has to be taken from somewhere. If he was playing russian roulette who was he playing with? Maybe when the board turned the gun it shot the other guy. Maybe the force of throwing Jett across the warehouse broke the guy's arm.

Spoiler for Internet stunt man:

Show

Jett is an internet sensation by using his passive power to do the craziest deadly stunts without dying. He records these and posts them on the internet and earns a living that way. This means people tend to flock to him expecting something interesting to happen.

His most popular video is the video where he jumped off a skyscraper onto a net 6 feet by three feet.

Spoiler for Appearance:

Show

Jett wears a black hoodie with flames on it. This hoodie is infamous for catching fire in his videos but always coming out okay.(if you touch it some area are charred stiff). He usually wears red sweatpants and shades.

Spoiler for Weaknesses:

Show

1 As stated above his power doesn’t stop all injury from coming to him.

2 He has a hypersensitivity to light. Remove his sunglasses and he is blinded. But can see pretty well in the dark.

3 His power is always pulling him into the worst places(Aka battles).

I'm the one who stickied this thread, and I've only just now bothered reading it. I'll throw a few things in myself.

[Crank]

Why would you sticky something you didn't read!?
