Canon Character Registry

[The Crow]

Right okay, Ill edit the two together. And you sure lever 4? I mean unless their crow is killed nothing can stop them, and the are fully healed in seconds from any wound they sistain.

[Ninmast]

That's just regeneration. They don't have the strength or speed to take on entire armies.

There's a character I want to make a profile for, but putting enough in their bio could give away big spoilers. Should I do that or not, or give a spoiler warning?

[Ninmast]

If it's a canon character, you have to give all their pertinent history up to the point you're at. If you were registering just Goku, for instance, you could get away with just putting in that he was a Saiyan that was sent to Earth as an infant and grew up there, learning his signature move, the Kamehameha Wave, from Master Roshi, the Turtle Hermit, etcetera.

However, if you wanted to register Goku and include his super saiyan transformations, you would have to include the history up to that point, as well.

[Mirrorless]

The thing is I want to register a movie character but I can't include his bio without giving a lot away. Plus, it's a great movie, and I think it would ruin it for other people.

[Ninmast]

Then try writing it in a way that doesn't give away the plot.

I'd like to enter a new one of my own. Delta Squad, from Republic Commando!

Name: 38

Age: Chronologically 8, Physically late 20s

Gender: Male

Race: Augmented Human

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Power Level: Mid-tier Medium

Timeline: Futuristic

Appearance: Without his armor, he looks just like the other three, tan-skinned, black hair, brown eyes, well-built. In his armor, he's heavily shielded and wears a helmet with a blue line down the center to distinguish him from the others.

Personality: He cares deeply about his squad mates and watches over them like a big brother, just as frequently jumping into battle, himself, as directing them from a vantage point. He's serious, but still enjoys the banter the others send back and forth.

Name: 62 "Scorch"

Age: See 38

Gender: Male

Race: See 38

Alignment: See 38

Power Level: See 38

Timeline: See 38

Appearance: He's color-coded yellow. Otherwise, he looks the same as 38.

Personality: Enjoys explosives, and always has a one-liner or two on his lips, regardless of the situation. The bigger the explosion he gets to make, the better. He and Sev are very competitive.

Name: 40 "Fixer"

Age: See 38

Gender: Male

Race: See 38

Alignment: See 38

Power Level: Mid-tier Medium

Timeline: Futuristic

Appearance: Color-coded green, otherwise the same as 38.

Personality: The brainiac of the group, and an expert slicer. He's more serious and analytical, but is still ready to put a few plasma bolts through the enemy.

Name: 07 "Sev"

Age: See 38

Gender: Male

Race: See 38

Alignment: See 38

Power Level: See 38

Timeline: See 38

Appearance: Color-coded red. Special painting makes it look like a bloody handprint is on his forehead, and that he is similarly splattered over the rest of him. Of course, nobody ever got up the nerve to ask him if that was really special painting or not.

Personality: Sev loves the thrill of the hunt, and enjoys getting in with brute force as much as standing back and picking an enemy off with expert marksmanship. While he is just as trained with explosive ordnances as anyone else in the squad, he frowns on them, believing that they ruin the spirit of the hunt.

History: Clones made for the Clone Wars, Delta Squad is a squad of commandos, specially designed and trained for specialist missions. Some of their most outstanding accomplishments include fending off a ship full of droids, freeing Kashyyk single-handedly and uncovering a Separatist-Mercenary collaboration.

Powers: Superhuman endurance, the ability to utilize raw bacta due to special implants, increased strength and reaction times.

Weapons: Commonly armed with a standard blaster pistol and military-issue blaster rifle. Trained in all manner of weaponry, including explosives, Geonosian bioweaponry, Trandoshian weaponry and Wookie technology.

Weakness: They have to follow orders, whatever they might be or however little they may like it. It's hardwired into them.

[Giant Brother]

Name: Mewtwo

Age: Unable to measure exactly, could be relatively newborn, could be much later.

Gender: Male (Classified as genderless by pokemon experts due to his inability to breed)

Race: Pokemon (More specifically, genetically engineered superpokemon)

Alignment: True Neutral

Power Level: Mid-Tier High

Timeline: Modern

Appearance:



(Because frankly, I wouldn't be able to describe it in words.)

Personality: Mewtwo is frequently pensive and in a shell. He rarely comes out about his feelings, and denies any sort of sentimentality that crosses his mind. He often feels that his solutions are the only ones that will work, and solves problems the way HE wants to solve them. While arrogant at times about his power, Mewtwo is something of a pacifist. He will fight when pushed to it, but he rarely takes action unless it involves him directly. He is fiercely protective of those close to him.

History: Mewtwo was created by a team of top notch scientists on Cinnabar Island, using the marvels of cloning technology. The scientists acquired DNA samples of Mew, a thought to be long extinct species of pokemon, believed to be the strongest of them all. The cloning of Mew was a success, in the respect that Mewtwo managed to survive the cloning process. However, science failed to produce a caring heart for the creature. Absorbed in its own power, Mewtwo flew into a berserker's rage, obliterating the laboratory, and most likely killing the scientists therein. He viewed humans as vile, arrogant creatures, despite their weakness. He saw them as slave drivers, taking advantage of nature and pokemon as if they owned them. So, Mewtwo brought it upon himself to exterminate humanity, as well as the pokemon in their service, viewing them as "tainted".

However, he was stopped and defeated, strongly due to the intervention of a handful of dedicated trainers and Mew itself. During this defeat, Mewtwo's eyes were opened to his wrongs. After this, Mewtwo retreated and hid in seclusion, reflecting on his actions, and himself. Over time, the pokemon grew to be more and more peaceful, eventually becoming the pacifist he is today.

Powers: While Mewtwo is capable of unleashing almost every single pokemon attack known to man (Obviously thanks to Mew, who is rumored to know every single one), his true power lies in his terrifyingly huge psychokinetic powers. Through mere whims, he is capable of almost anything you can imagine. In fact, with some concerted effort, he can manipulate the weather itself.

Equipment: None whatsoever

Weakness: Mewtwo is more susceptible to physical attacks, he is also weak against techniques related to darkness and ghosts and spirits. For some reason, his psychic powers have little to no effect on those with dark powers.


Name: Zelos Wilder

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Alignment: Flip-Flops Typically seems to be out for himself

Power Level: Mid-Tier Medium

Timeline: Steampunk

Appearance:




Personality: A loudmouthed, arrogant, obnoxious, lazy skirt chaser. This is the general persona that Zelos has on the outside. On the inside, he's a surprisingly more complicated person. He despises the fame and importance he has as the Chosen of Mana, and would prefer a nice, simple life. Nonetheless, he is a sarcastic, fun-loving fellow. He has a slight problem with his self esteem, while it clearly doesn't show.

History: (Pending)

Powers: (Pending)

Equipment: (Pending)

Weakness: Women, he's also seen as untrustworthy.

Yeeah... please consider Zelos more of a placeholder for the moment.

Post deleted. When reserving a canon character, please ensure you provide accurate and serious information. If you wish to make a satire character, such can be done in Fan-Made Characters. Also, please remember the rule concerning sexual content when making profiles.

Assuming he's not already taken:

Name: Dr. Eggman

Age: Unknown (I'm guessing somewhere in his late 40s)

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Power Level: 2

Timeline: Modern, semi-futuristic

Appearance: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c1/Robotnik_Riders.png
An egg-shaped man with beedy eyes concealed by blue goggles, with a large, puffy orange mustache. He wears a red jacket with yellow and white trimings, with black pants that end in socks attacked to them.

History: Eggman has made countless efforts to take over the world to create Eggman Land, but has always been defeated by Sonic the Hedgehog. Eggman has created various machines, such as Metal Sonic, to do his bidding in taking over the world and controls an army of badnicks, robots he built by hand. Eggman has occasionally helped Sonic in fighting off other villians for the simple fact that, if they destroy the world, he can't take it over.

Powers: Eggman is very skilled with mechanics and is capable of building massive robots from scrap metal that can be, quite litterally, lying around. Eggman also seems to be able to call on any of his machines at any time, from almost anywhere (assuming the machines can get there).

Equipment: Eggman almost always travels with his Egg-mobile, a hovering grey pod that, suprise supirse, looks like a silver egg with a seat and viewing screen. He has made countless attachments and upgrades to this vehicle and can join it with almost any of his robots. This is his only true peace of equipment, everything else simply adding to it at his discretion.

Weakness: Even though he acts it, Eggman is far from heartless. He makes countless threats, but has never actually killed anyone and would never try to perminatley hurt anyone, other then Sonic. Eggman is also easliy worried if his life is put into jeopardy. Also, although he is stronger then a normal human, Eggman almost never engages in physical combat and has little to no actualy combat experience in that field. Also, being a self proclaimed feminest and gentleman, Eggman often puts his foot in his mouth and tries to live up to his tittles.

Eggman is copy right of SEGA and Sonic Team.

*Edit: thanks for the advice about the Power Level and opion on alignment. I also changed his 'powers' section a little based on the comment on his physical abilities.

[Ninmast]

Physically, Eggman is more like a 2. He's not stronger, faster or tougher than a normal human, and is actually somewhat less. Also, I'd say he's probably Chaotic Neutral. In addition, I think GiantBrother may have him. But there's nothing wrong with more than one person registering a canon character. If such an RP comes up, however, the one who registered first gets first dibs. If they decide not to take the character, then the next person who has it registered gets it before anyone who doesn't have it registered gets the chance.

[Mirrorless]

I have my profile for Batman edited onto the 1st page of this topic. Here are the other characters I have registered thus far:

(profiles removed)

[Ninmast]

Be careful of mixing non-canonical material with canon, buddy. The spider that bit Peter Parker was a webless spider. He had to construct his own artificial webbing and dispensers. Only in the incredibly erroneous (in regard to canon) movie series give him organic webbing. He also canNOT match the Hulk with only brute strength. He has been repeatedly shown to have less strength than many other superstrong characters, especially those that focus in such. The Hulk, on the other hand, gets exponentially stronger, with no upper limit, the angrier he gets. Thus it is impossible for anyone to match him in brute force. Spider-Man also cannot jump twenty feet high from standing. To reach such heights, he has to use his webbing or some other force.

In addition, I am fairly certain that wanking off and raping are not the crowning achievements of the Joker. Neither are they from any readily-recognizable canon. Far more impressive (and equally chaotic) are events like his disturbingly easy defeat of Superman or of building a religious cult that raked in millions, all for the sole purpose of tearing it down for his own enjoyment. Perhaps explore, when mentioning his skill in chemistry, capturing the mighty Bane and developing the Titan serum. If you do not know enough of his achievements to portray anything else about him, it may be better not to try to claim him as a character.

Watch out for Dr. Octopus, too, and mixing his canon with stuff from the movie.

Now for Batman. It disturbs me that you seem so unable to describe a single canon character, however unrelated to the topic, without mentioning sexual crime. Besides that, please STOP CALLING THEM BAT-SHURIKEN!!! They are NOT Shuriken in form and do not truly function like shuriken. They function like small boomerangs and are thrown as such. Hence why they are called batarangs. In addition, Batman does NOT permanently scar and cripple people. The only way this ever happens is by accident, not by his own hand, and his efforts are usually being dedicated to stopping it from happening when it does. And if you're going to use a picture to describe his appearance, use one that is actually him.

[Mirrorless]

Ninmast, I'm really not trying to argue, but, as a dedicated fan of *all* these characters, I notice that they are frequently portrayed in such vast different forms of media as there is that there's almost no clear-cut definition of what they're truly supposed to be like. If I portrayed them as they were *originally* meant to be, Batman would have a gun and kill people, which is not canon at all.

I felt that I was entitled to portray them in my own way that different forms of media frequently do. In a sense they're entirely in character in various ways. I'll demonstrate;

- That Batman image may not be a common image, but it is how Todd McFarlane and Kelley Jones draw him. It's from Batman/Dracula: Red Rain.

- He *does* cripple/disfigure criminals permanently in Frank Miller books (Year One, The Dark Knight Returns and All-Star Batman and Robin, the first two which are the most renowned and famous Batman books ever)

- Joker committed the horrific activities not exclusive to the Bat-family in Brian Azzarello's graphic novel simply entitled "Joker" (what the picture is from, actually)

- Spider-Man is not 16 nowadays, but he's portrayed as such in the Spectacular Spider-Man TV series

- Batman has taken down Superman in Hush and TDKR. It's not an easy feat, he needed a LOT of help (an enhanced suit of armor in TDKR and help from Green Arrow, and *sheer luck* and Catwoman in Hush)

- Spider-Man has stood toe to toe with the Hulk in some continuities at full strength. If you pay attention his strength varies quite frequently from story to story, even in the same canon. In some he strains to lift a single car and in others he can hold entire buildings above him.

- They are Bat-shuriken in Miller's Batman, and in Batman/Spawn they appeared and functioned this way.

But if it's that much of an issue I can repeal my claims of them. I wasn't really sure on whether or not I was going to RP anyways, only if it was okay with other people.

[Ninmast]

Don't mistake me, we're happy to have you back.

However, you can tell when something is not canon when it differs so vastly from what is. Clearly, Batman/Dracula: Red Rain, Miller's works and Azzerello's Joker are all non-canon because they all paint settings and characters vastly different from the canon. And as for Spider-Man, since in the canon, HE specifically says that without the symbiote, he has trouble lifting either a beetle or a stationwagon, I forget the specific word choice. And since he says that in the canon, it's safe to say that regardless of what other continuities may say, he has trouble lifting that vehicle and will not and cannot ever under any circumstance lift whole buildings.

When claiming a canon character, we can never stress enough that it is critical that they remain adhered to canon. Otherwise, they stop being canon characters and become fan-characters based off of the canon equivalents, and that's not cool.
