Lets get prehistoric!

Real Name: Conner Henshal

Superhero Name: The Fossil

Title: Dino-guy

Alignment: Hero

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Race: Caucasion

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Brown

Height: 6 foot 0 inches.

Weight: 130 pounds

Costume: A brown and green jumpsuit, which he wears under his normal cloths. Normal clothes for him are a pair of jeans and a long-sleeved shirt. The jumpsuit is dark green on the back, outer arms, outer legs, and neck. Its brown on the front and inner arms and legs. Also on the front is a black circle, with a red font capital F.

Personality: He is slightly antisocial, shy and quiet, due to bulliing when he was a kid. He is extremey helpful to people, often going out of his way to help a stranger, then leave imediatly. Because of his low end spectrum autism, he has trouble understanding people sometimes, and in most areas, uneducated. (especialy math). He has 1 exception though, and that is zoology and paleontology. He loves to laugh and will always make a joke about something stupid or funny.

History: Growing up he was an only child. His parents were encouraging and supportive in every way. Unfotuantly, he piers were different. He was constanly bullied and harrased. His parents were scientists, their mission to ressurect the mammoth. When Conner was 10, his parent made a daring attempt at their project. Taking DNA from mammoth fossils, they used a high voltage of energy to implant it into the uterus of a female asian elephant. The resulting high energy transfer caused an explosion, wiping out the whole compund and killing everyone there. EXECPT Conner, who survived because he was on the opposite side of the lab and because a wall fell and blocked the bulk of the blast. He spent the next few years traveling from foster home to foster home. 1 year after the incident, he accidently transformed into a velociraptor in his room, discovering his powers. The blast of energy had somehow transferred the DNA from the half a dozen fossilized remains in his room into Conners bloodstream. During high school, he encounterd an old bully. The bully made the mistake of punching him in the face. Conner lost control of his rage and changed into a velociraptor, attacking and killing the bully. Ashamed and guilty, Conner has spent the last few years of his life traveling across the country, looking for a place to live and help people.

Powers: Conner can become 6 different extinct animals that he had fossils of in his room. Velociraptor, Dimorphodon, Ichthyosaurus, Shunosaurus, Jeffersons ground sloth, and Thylacine.

Character Description: Conner is tall and thing. He wears glasses when not in costume, and had an average amount of acne for his age. He isn't especially muscular, but not fat either. His eyes are almond shaped. His legs and arms are also slightly longer than normal. He has brown hair and eyes. He has a scar from a knife wound on his back, along with multiple cuts on his hands.

Roleplay Sample:
The alarms of the bank flared and blared as gunshots rang through the air. Several armed men, covered in black clothing, exited the bank, carrying pillowcases filled with various valuables. Their getaway car was a large van.
They took off, several minutes before the police arrived.

Conner saw all this from the rooftop of a skyscraper nearby. Watching the car, he judged where it would be after a certain amount of time. He walked backwords untill his feet hit the rim of the other side of the roof. He then ran from there and leaped off the skyscraper. Falling for a few seconds, he then changed to dimorphodon. He glided untill he was above the car and grabbed hold of it. He crawled in through a crack in the window and then changed to velociraptor.

20 minutes later, the police found a crashed van containing all the stolen valuables, and 4 of the 5 robbers. They found the 5th 3 blocks down the road. The 4 in the van were unconsious, covered in claw and bite marks. They called in experts who could not explain what animal caused to injuries.

Alright, I'll take the reigns on this one.

When a character has a transformation power, if they want to be a different form that changes a grid, then they must sacrifice 2 points off their EP, which is split from their total EP. But if you are doing it to just change your appearance than the stats remain stagnant. I'll use examples

Example 1: Split

You would give up 2 EP for the transformation power, so it would be like this.

Human Form
STR: 1
SPD: 4
DUR: 5
INT: 4
EP: 4 (2 for Transformation, 2 for whatever)
FS: 2

T-Rex Form: If you make it fully animal
STR: 5
SPD: 4
DUR: 5
INT: 0
EP: 4 (2 for Transformation, 2 for whatever)
FS: 2

Or

STR: 6
SPD: 4
DUR: 6
INT: 0
EP: 2
FS: 2

T-Rex Form: INT preserved
STR: 5
SPD: 4
DUR: 5
INT: 4
EP: 2
FS: 2

*Note: INT and FS remain the same, unless the INT is reduced to 0

Example 2: Appearance only

STR: 1
SPD: 4
DUR: 5
INT: 4
EP: 4
FS: 2

This one is unadvised for your character idea, since the character would become the weakest dinosaurs ever.

Also, it would also be advised to not make so many transformations. As it would be rather cumbersome, depending on how many you use for actual battle.

I think I see where your going with this. I definetly want to use the way that changes other things of the grid, because his abilities change along with his forms. I think I have some examples.

Meganurea
Str:1
Spd:4
End:0
Int:4
Ep:4
Fs:2

Ankylosaurus
Str:5
Spd:0
End:6
Int:4
EP:4
FS:1


As you can see here, I would prefer that his Int remains constant in animal form. Whether the animal is a predator or prey might effect the FS, because he gets the animals basic instincts along with the body changes. The only reson his spd is 4 and his end is 5 are because of his transformations. (spd is high because meganura can fly at 120 mph. End is high because ankylosaurus and doedicurus are extremely bullet resistant.) I'll change it so that his power gird represents his human form. Whenever he changes to an animal, I'll put it a power gird for that animal.


Now I do plan on using lots of different extinct animals, but I will be accurate with their abilities and limitations. I am an amatuar paleontologist, so I know a great deal about these animals.

Edited his Power Grid. hope its okay now

Your FS is constant no matter what form your in

Ok. I'll keep the Fs constant.

You have to include the powergrids you want on the app, otherwise we cannot review them.

What I meant is that I'll put the stats for an animal (speed, endurance, strength) in the story post when he uses it. If I tried to put the powergird of EVERY animal I plan on using, It would require several days work and an entire topic page. The powergird on the app is for his human form. I hope thats enough. If you want, I could try to narrow it down to his most used forms and post those power grids on my next post here.

P.S. with an animal like amphicoelias, which is 190 feet long and more than 100 tons, could I give it 7 strengh and 7 endurance?

No to the sevens.

I don't like the idea of making animals that are 100 tons.

Let the staff talk about shape shifting and how it will work for you.

Ok, I edited a bit so all his animal forms are smaller by comparison.

I still need to see more powergrids, even if they are the most used ones. Otherwise I will assume that all your forms have your powergrid and work from there.

ok, I think I have an idea that might work. I'll need a little time to edit, but I think I'll have a solution by the end of today.


EDIT: I have updated the sign up. Hope its good now.
