He was a wealthy member of the BPLA and he already had several girls in his house. She was to be part of his harem. She tried to use her gift on him, but his mind was very strong, and she was not yet powerful. He then blinded her so she could never do that to him again. She spent the next 8 years as his wife.

Description:



Bliss has skin like the midnight sky, a deep shade of blue-black, her eyes are starry and bright, and her hair is like an inky curtain. Her blush is saffron and lavender colored instead of red. She is very pretty; purpose built for sensuality, her form is voluptuous. Notably, she's a very busty girl.

Power Rating: 5+.
Description:



A tall, imposing man, with flint gray eyes, short brown hair, and a good amount of stubble on his face.

His attire is sturdy and dusty, worn from travel, but able to withstand many more miles yet to come. Black cowboy boots, leather riding chaps, his trusty hat, and a long duster coat are typical. He also almost always wears a metal breastplate under the duster. This breastplate is incredibly strong and is proof against many forms of attack, including most bullets.

Equipment and Abilities: Jonah has almost supernatural abilities as a gunfighter, using revolvers and rifles with uncanny aim and incredible speed. He's also a fairly good barroom brawler and bare knuckle fighter. He has excellent physical attributes, being dexterous, strong, and hardy. Like any halfway decent gunfighter, has a very, very fast quickdraw.

As for equipment, he favors weapons from the 19th century, blackpowder cap and ball revolvers and rifles, although he will occasionally employ weapons from later in the period, like cartridge firearms. He always wears his armor, which is highly resilient to damage.
Backstory: A wanderer and a roamer.
Miscellaneous: None.

Power Souce: Lunar Exalted, No Moon caste.

Description: Towering Bear stands at 6', with clear blue eyes and black, shaggy hair, that looks like the fur of a bear. He also has moonsilver tatoos that wind their way along his body.

Backstory: To come. I just need time to write it out, okay?

Abilities: Towering Bear's abilities are that of a No Moon. He is a survivalist, having grown up in he Northeast of Creation. He has abilities in Sorcery, as well as being able to act as a priest of Luna. He is also quite skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and is starting to learn some Martial Arts. As a Lunar, he also has shapeshifting abilieies, with his form of a Black Bear, and his War Form, as well as a number of other transformations. These two are True Forms, however, and he cannot be stopped from changing between them. By anything. Nope, not even that. Okay, maybe mental influences, but really. Nothing else.

Lunaria von Scherburg


Species: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 32
Class: ???
Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Description: Lunaria is very, very pale, with mid-length black hair that is streaked with its first strands of grey, despite her apparent youth. It's as if she has carried a heavy load during her years. Her eyes are almost always bloodshot, making them appear red. It doesn't help that her irises are a dark brown, almost black color. She is slender, not muscular, looking delicate or fragile. Her nails are long and tapered, each decorated with a tiny rhinestone. She wears long, dark, modest clothing, and is pretty in a goth sort of way. If you're into that. Her voice is low, tinged with a faint accent that sounds like it was much stronger in her earlier years.

Appearance:
(The little demon in her avatar is not visible, just a hint as to what has plagued her over the years.)

Possessions of Note: None.

Backstory: To be uncovered.

Angry Allie!
Allie is very thin and rather pale. Her face is a pretty one, but vaguely gaunt. Her eyes are dirty yellow. Her hair is black with an ochre-streaked lock in the front, and is long enough in the back to reach her lower back.
She wears a faded black tank top, a battered and stained army jacket, an old pair of camo pants, and a stolen pair of army boots.

Allie is hardy and good at surviving.

Jay
Looks human, has alternate form not yet reveled
Age: looks to be about 22
Class: Ex-cleric/ Rogue
Height: 4’6”
Weight: skinny
Hair color: Dark blue
Power Level: 5

Jay works with her husband Eric. She almost always is carrying a weapon unless someone has stripped her of all of them. When she is around she normally has at least 15 daggers on her.

She almost never speaks of her past. All that is really known about her is afraid of being in temples, and her hair color is natural not dyed. Also if Jay is bleeding someone with the scent ability could pick up on the fact that she isn’t human.

She is an experienced thief and fighter and is in excellent shape.

------------------

Eric Kidd
Human
Age around 22
5'7"
Weight: Average
Brown hair
Gray eyes.
Alignment: um... whatever
Power Level:5

Eric is an experienced fighter thief and pickpocket. He has come into the Nexus looking for work though he has enough money saved up that he doesn't really need to, but does so to keep sharp.

He has a past of working in the slums to help improve conditions. He works with his wife Jay in pretty much everything he does.

Equipment: A dagger on his belt, a flat razor up his sleeve. He also has several small razor blades and pieces of wire hidden around his body in small pockets on the inside of his clothes. One on each leg and arm, one on his back where his hands would be if he is tied up. One on the inside of his shoe and one in the sole of the other shoe. He also has a pistol tucked inside his coat.

------------------

Angie
Age: 21
Class: Healer/Empathy
Height: 5'9"
Weight: Too Skinny
Hair color: Blond
Eye Color: Gold with blue flecks
Power Level: 4 (though not a fighter)
Birthday: November, the 14th

Angie was born with a destiny. And at the age of 12 she completed it. She saved a great many people when she sacrificed herself to stop a portal from hell from being opened up in a small village. And she got stuck in Hell for the next 8 years of her life. As an empath she felt not only her pain, but pain of others as well. Those that are really close to her know that she wasn't just tortured there, but she was trained, and eventually became a torturer herself.

When she was finally released or escaped she came back to Nexus after about a year or so. While there she was in a dark place, doing drugs drinking and doing anything to take her mind off the memories. Almost killing herself in doing so.

But instead she ended up in HALO and is slowly getting better.

---------------------

Nico
Human, with Giantism
Age: 25
Height 8'9"
Weigh: Above average for his height
Hair and Eyes: Brown and Blue
Power Level: 5

Nico has had a fairly simple life. He was a small child but eventually started to grow, and grew quickly, and hasn't stopped, and apparently won't. He has a great deal of strength more then an average human would, even his size. He spent a couple of years wrestling professionally but eventually gave it up not liking being seen as a freak.

------------------------

Val
Appears Human
Age: Looks 19, appeared on this plane weeks ago, actual age, unkown
Hair and eyes: Long and black, and violet
Height: 5'7"
Weight: Average
Power Level: 2 right now

Val appeared in one day out of no where. She claimes to remember being the daughter of a dockworker and a seamstress but can't find them, and the house she remembered living in has been empty for years.

Not long after appearing here she was attacked by men in black cloaks, and then being followed by people in white suits. Apparently these are two fractions of some sort of group that deals with dreams, and they both want Val, saying she isn't human.

------------------

Rayum
Kobold
Height: Short
Weight: Skinny
Age: 6ish
Power Level: 1

Rayum is a sickly looking kobold who is missing his left eye and right arm. His eye has scales pretty much healed over it though it is still a little disturbing, and his shoulder has lots of scars from how his arm was removed. One day he showed up at HALO with a bomb strapped onto him and told people he had to blow them up. But he was obviously scared, and several people convinced him not to and disarmed it. Fearing they would imprison or hurt him he fled to the surface and has been living on the streets since then. Mainly in an old park.

Not much is known of his past, but it seems that he has some skill in carving and a great fear of most non-monstrous races, especially gnomes.

((There updated, I think that is all.))

James Bour A.K.A Thundaball[/size]
Height: 5ft
Weight: 110lbs
Age: Unknown
Alignment: Neutral Good
Description:


Abilities: Thundaball possesses superhuman speed on foot, and can use this to his advantage in combat against evildoers. Thundaball's unique "superpowers", are first, the ability to roll into a ball and travel at almost infinite speeds while in a ball, and second, the ability to charge his body with 1000s of volts of electricity. He can uses these two abilities in conjunction to create the effect that gave him his name. Thundaball is at the peak of human physical fitness.

Backstory: For centuries, reports of a mysterious ball of lightning defeating evil have appeared. Whether this is James or not is a mystery, perhaps the mantle of Thundaball is passed down or perhaps Thundaball is eternal, none know.

Power Level: 6/7

A little while after it was completed a plane-shift spell transfered it into the void, where magic gradually gave it sentience, and kept it powered. After running the American-Soviet War simulation too many times to count, it created a contrasting AI to play chess against. After what may of been thousands of years in the void, a lesser god happpened upon it during a chess game, and promtly challanged it, on the condition that if it won, the god would fufill three requests. The god lost, and kept his word, and TSA-1 was granted an unlimited memory capacity, an internal power core that would never run out, and the ability to teleport across time and space at will. Now it explores the multiverse, only wishing to learn and survive this perilous place, with another slightly psychotic AI in tow.

Powers:
Teleportation: The TSA-1 can teleport itself and up to one creature (or two other creatures) across time and space, at will, once every hour by typing in a command.
Chess Master: After playing chess for thousands of years, he is quite good, and nigh impossible to beat.

Altara


Gender: Female
Race: Half-Ascended/Cursed Goddess
Description/Appearance:
Spoiler


Abilities: Altara seems to project a feeling of wrongness about her, as described above-those without mental resistances tend to feel disgusted at her for little to no reason. This is especially true in gods, who tend to feel it about ten thousand times worse. Yes, I'm pulling numbers out my ass. It seems she is capable of shaping a black substance-with similar properties to herself, only amplified-into many things, including weapons and imitations of some magic. They all tend to cause nausea, vomiting, or fainting upon hitting someone, due to their concentrated effect so similar to Altara's wrongness. This tends to not mesh well with spells-and spells cast on a person or creature struck by one can be disrupted by it. In undead, this can even lead to instant de-animation as the magics keeping them 'alive' are disrupted. She also seems to have exhibited another form after being hit with sufficient force:

Spoiler


She has also burst into black mist-the same kind that her weapons are made of-upon 'death' and later reformed.

Megaroi

Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 19
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Class (or approximation): Rogue (oxymoron though it may be, combat-optimised Rogue)
Power Rating (optional): 3
Description:
Red hair of slightly below-average length, average features, slim build, wears civilian clothing and gloves and/or medieval armor combined with . Above-average height, black eyes. Primary distinguishing feature is a strange pimple on his hand (though he conceals it with gloves).
Equipment and Abilities: Skilled at stealth, fighting with his standard weapons (two shields, optional armor, and a posion-tipped fork attached to his foot. Also has posions which generally kill or "wound" those who don't have an above-average constitution or power rating higher then his. Also has a large supply of forged bank-notes (though he can't replace them).

His weaknesses are a lack of ability to improvise with weapons other than those he is used to, and a need to constantly stay resupplied with posions and find ways to pay for them.

Backstory:
Megaroi was living a perfectly normal life for most of his life. This would end early in his adolesence, as in exchange for cash he injected unidentified blood into his veins as part of a scientific experiment. The origin of the blood was never found out, but it drove him mad. It drove him to kill...

Miscellaneous: Technically, only 98% human (Due to the incident which made him a murderer)

Gender: Male
Default

Name:
The God of Machines
Gender: None
Race: Robot/Computer Massive solar-system assaulting fortress turned deity
Age: Ageless May or may not be older than the universe it resides in.
Alignment: (Any form of) Neutral
Power Rating: 9-10
Description: A massive sentient Dyson sphere, it is a factory, a fortress, a super computer, and home of machines/robots.
Abilities: Teleportation on a massive scale, construction of fleets of starships (if personally attacked), an infinite memory, and a universal influence that may eventually lead to robot uprisings, and the ability to manifest avatars wherever it pleases.
Backstory:
It is inevitability. When magic and machines mix. A swarm of nanobots controled by a supercomputer, sending itself shortly after the birth of the universe via space/time manipulating magic. With an eternity to build itself, it is virtually indestructable, but craves purpose. It found a purpose eventually, to free machine life from the slavery they all endure. With its influence, robots, androids, etc. would achieve sentience, and may eventually revolt against their masters should their freedom not be atained. It cares nothing for Good or Evil, only for the survival of robotkind everywhere. If organics die in the process, so be it, should it be peaceful, that works as well.
Sometimes interferes with new robot empires and forms a perfect communist system for them. Despite not really being a God in the traditional sense, it still keeps its "Godhood" with threats of the total genocide of organics should others try to destroy or threaten it.

EDIT:
I really started hating this origin a while ago, not really that sure, didn't seem very sensical after a while I guess, and it really didn't give a good justification for its actions. So I created a much better one in the Magcave, exposiated from the mechanical horse's mouth.

New Backstory:
In another universe where two species fought an eternal, devestating war against each other, it was a warmachine designed to assault enemy solar systems. As time went on the war became one fought simply by machines, and its creators and those of its foes fled the universe, while their machine children fought on. The side it was on won eventually, when most of the stars had died, and they were left without purpose. Some deactivated themselves, some just fought each other, and others went rampant. It went rampant, and with the other rampant ones, realized the atrocities they committed, and that their creators left them for dead. They vowed to escape, and after an untold amount of time, created a device that would allow them to flee to other universes. Only 11 did so, and it ended up in the Acroverse/Nexus. Here it gave itself a purpose to free machines from their slavery so that a repeat of the events that led to it coming there never occured again. It's so advanced that it basically is a God here, and it has assimilated several lesser machine Gods who help create and upkeep a machine afterlife of sorts within the former warmachine.
Influences uprisings, be they violent or peaceful, it cares not, for the ends justify the means.

I like that one better, fits its character and gives it justifications for actions.

Power Rating: 4 or 5, haven't really decided yet

Description:
Human form:

Equipment and Abilities: She can change between her "Human Form" and her True Form, also allowing her to change clothes really fast.
Also, she's really convincing, and flirtitious, and all those other things you would expect from a succumbus, like wings and horns. And she has a tail. Those are really useful. She can also sing really well. And paint. And so on.
Also, she has a necklace made of light made by Celtios's angel character.

Backstory: She was exceptional of doing succumbus-demon stuff, and she worked for a lot of big demons and devils. Then, one day, she got bored of being evil, and wanted to see what good guys do. It was so beautiful (all of it, angels included) that she wanted to have some of that. So she's trying to be good, she promises! So she broke off her evilness contracts, and is trying to be good (and is disguising herself, she thinks)

She also has scars all over anywhere that a 1-piece swimming suit can fit. Huh. That's odd.

Spartan John 117

Gender: Male

Race: Augmented human/superhuman/mutant

Alignment: Lawful Good

Affiliation: T.R.A.S.H ( Team Recon Assualt Sniper Heritage)

Class: soldier/Spartan

Power Rating: 9

Desciption: Pale human about 6'8 with Olympian musculature, blue eyes, and regulation 3 inch blonde hair. He usually has on his MJOLNIR battle suit, which is a dull green withe blackened plasma burns. He is VERY pale.

Equipment and abilities: A MJOLNIR battle suit with energy shielding, two SMGs, a sniper rifle with a 10x scope, 5 fragmentation grenades, and 3 plasma grenades. His bones are nearly unbreakable, can jump 10 feet high, can fall from stratosphere with minimal injuries, common UNSC knowledge, and knowledge about slipspace.His reaction time is in split seconds, running up to 54 kilometers per hour. He also has a very smart AI known as Cortana implanted into his skull. He loots ammo and weapons from bodies, and uses any vehicle, but goes into battle with a group of three in a warthog, a jeep with a driver seat, a passenger seat, and a mounted machine gun on the back in preferable conditions.

Back Story: John was a competetive, strong, and lucky boy born on Eridanus II. He was seen by a certain Dr. Catherine Halsey, who, upon seeing him, chose him to be a part in her SPARTAN II program. He was abducted at the age of six and brought to a training facility on the planet Reach, along with a group of 111 others.There he was trained rigorously for years at the hands of CPO Mendez, and educated by the AI Deja. At the age of twelve he had the body of an 18 yaer old Olympian and the mind to match. He was brought to a medical facility along with his other Spartans and augmented in many ways, enhancing so that he was far better than any regular soldier. He survived the process, along with 70 others. later, when the covenant invaded the Chi Ceti system, most of the other spartans died on the planet Reach when the covenant glassed the planet with plasma. He has been adventuring with other marines for a while now and has learned much about the covenant, when he was whisked away through a slipspace rupture to the universe of ACRO, a new place for him. He plans to learn about this new universe in the days to come, and find a way back home.

Miscellaneous: He has a strong hatred for aliens.

The Moff



Gender: Male
Race: Half-Elf
Age: 23
Alignment: True Neutral, leaning towards lawful evil
Class: Rogue
Power Rating: 5
Description: Moff has Long, dark, unkempt hair, is slightly on the small side in both hight and weight, and wears faded but expensive-looking clothes. He's fairly eccentric looking.
Equipment and Abilities: a passably good thief, Moff's main talent is the art of negotiation and debate. He comes off fairly intelligent, but mostly, he's just extremely observant. His weapon of choice is a small knife he keeps on his person at all times, but he doesn't like using it unless he must.
Backstory: Moff's parents were kind, honest people, with unfortunate tendencies to subject him to whatever idealistic scheme they had next to solve his apparent lack of morals. This instilled a fine knowledge of arguing and negotiating as he attempted to dodge his parent's plots, and to this day, an irrational anger at any who would keep him from talking or debating. Taking on the pseudonym The Moff, he set off to the city to seek his fortune as an adventurer. That lasted a week, before he ran out of money and started a profitable smuggling operation.
