Superteam, assemble!

[mauve]

Sorry for the lateness! Silver Bullet has arrived to kick ass and take names!

[Masked Jedi]

Is there still room for another hero?

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

I must admit I kind of am taking a leaf out of Ironman's book >.< Too much watching Avengers...

[mauve]

Nonsense. There is NEVER too much watching Avengers.

[Intern Nin]

Evil beware...

Ida March and

The Warlock!

The Will

Ida March's story begins when she was left on the steps of an orphanage in the wee hours of the morning on March 15th nine years ago. The people running the orphanage promptly gave her a punny name. She grew up never knowing her parents, but she's not really hung up about it. In fact, Ida is a bright and happy child who loves climbing, drawing, watching amateur MMA matches, and exploring abandoned buildings. It's due to that last hobby that she happened to stumble across the Warlock, while he was in the midst of casting a spell that would've given him dominion over a slumbering elder god. She wrecked the ceremony, messing up the spell and inadvertently granting her control over the Warlock.

Now with the spellcaster's nearly infinite power at her beck and call, she ordered him to be her legal guardian and made him buy a house in the suburbs for them to live in. She now leads a mostly normal day-to-day life; interspaced with days where she makes the Warlock use his powers for good and protect the innocent (like when aliens invade, monsters smash up downtown, madmen hold the city for ransom, etc).

Ida is a small girl with a very dark complexion and black hair braided into twin ponytails. Her eyes are so blue they almost look purple and she has a scar on her chin (from an injury she sustained while trying to scale the north wall of the orphanage). She usually wears a pair of jean overalls and a T-shirt with a cartoon character on it.

The Power

The Warlock is a 5,000+ year old wizard who traded his real name to dark forces for immortality and is a former member of “The Consortium of Wickedness”. He's played a lot of roles in his life (slave, medicineman, sage, savior, king, warlord, seeker of truth, mythical boogeyman, wanderer, villain) and has dabbled in just about every kind of magick there is in this world. For the better part of the last century, he was dead set on conquering the planet and reshaping it into his vision of utopia. He fell under the control of Ida just a few months ago and he is none too happy about it. After the initial raging and desperate search for a way to break the spell, he's accepted that this is the new stage in his life and is content to simply out-live Ida.

The geis placed on him forces him to obey any orders Ida gives to him and also prevents him from harming her or doing anything that would lead to her being harmed. His knowledge of arcane secrets, mystical evocations, and contracts with evil spirits make him a superb (if incredibly reluctant) crimefighter. Chief among his magical tools is the Staff of Geb, an ancient, hardened beanpole that increases his magical might threefold and can shake the very earth.

The Warlock stands at 6'5” when hunched over and has green, nearly mummified skin. He has a whispy Fu Manchu mustache, one eye with a normal black pupil and one yellow goat eye in his left socket. He's usually dressed in red wizard robes with an antlered helmet, a silver medallion around his neck, and a pair of flip-flop sandles.

The Dog

Odu is not a dog. He is the last of the Crocodile-Deer from the continent of Mu and the Warlock's familiar. A fine specimen of his breed, he is vicious, stupid, and fiercely loyal. For some reason, he's taken a shine to Ida and willingly obeys and protects her. Odu appears as svelte, long limbed reptilian with horns on his head.

[Arcanum]

So yeah, opting in that Smoke and Mirror have had a run in with Dr. Xenopolis before.

Also I'm totally expecting there to be no driver at all. Or at least, the driver is going to be another "alien."

Also expecting Smoke to be hitting the pavement soon, because it's not like we can stop phase one, let alone with something as simple as taking out the driver.

[Arhra]

Ooops, I thought I'd said something to you already Nin. Sorry about that!

The concept's good but you need to define the Warlock's limits better, since he's potentially an unlimited ass-pull machine right now.

RMB, I consulted dice on the strength of the Hadou-meha-ken and they said it was very weak indeed. That conveniently resolved the potential conflict between your post and Mauve's. Huzzah!

Arcanum, I'll be sending you a little extra information about Dr Xenopolis shortly.

This new fellow is the Handyman. Mobster-ish guy. He's a bit of a C-lister. Has psychic hands that let him punch people and make forcefields. Occaisonally he's tried to form his own hands/body parts themed teams, to limited success.

Edit: Before he was bound, the Warlock would partake of fresh lamb blood from a bone goblet every week in order to keep up his strength. Ida thinks that's disgusting and has forbade him from doing it. This makes him significantly less powerful then he used to be. It takes him a few minutes of chanting and flailing and whatnot to work up a big spell and needs about half an hour of rest and a drink afterwards. Also using many of those spells in a short period of time (ex: A dozen teleports in under 24 hours) risks putting him into a coma that could last for days.

Also, he cannot and will not cast spells in the light of the moon. He refuses to explain why exactly. Just mutters something about witch's magic.

[Overcast]

*insert obligatory request to entry question here*
*include self deprecating second phrase so that if it isn't you can back out gracefully*

Also I feel like I have met this Sekta character before, only she was much more pleasant and termite like.

Overcast, sign-ups are staying open until I say otherwise.

Try harder!

Lamb's blood is easily circumvented, a dozen teleports a day is still ridiculous depending on what is covered under a teleport, the light of the Moon restriction renders him completely useless a lot of nights (barring a 'I stand in the shadows, lawl' loophole) and there's still no definition on what he's actually capable of.
