Ultimate Marvel revisited OOC

re-written to be more through

Wraith: Background & Powers

Name: Kyle Greystone
Codename: Wraith
Physical description (human form): 6’2” 220 lbs Blonde Hair, slightly luminescent lavender eyes. He is clean-shaven and muscular, with no scars, tattoos, or piercings.
28 years old.
(Hero Form): Black organic armor covers his entire body, ending in a crown of horns around his head. There are no mouth or nose-holes, and his entire eyes glow a lavender color. (Basically, He looks very close to what Top Cow’s Darkness character looks like)

Powers: Almost all of Wraiths powers are based on Darkness and shadow. Some will only work at night, others are active at will.

Offensive Powers: He can form his fingers into diamond-hard sharpened claws that can rip through steel.
His strength is enhanced (he can lift over 1700lbs) and has a greatly enhanced agility also (equal to Nightcrawlers).
He can fire blasts of solid darkness from his hands, which strike with a powerful blow.
He can also fire a webbing-like fluid from the tops of his hands, ensnaring foes in an organic mesh. This webbing lasts until Sunrise, when it dissolves into shadows.

Defensive Powers: His armor, which is of an organic nature, is strong enough to withstand the blast of a .357 Magnum at point-blank range, while not impeding his movement at all. It acts like a second skin to Wraith. Also, it is cool to the touch (about 65o)
When in darkness or shadows Wraith can shift himself into Shadowform, effectively phasing himself out of the physical plane. While in the form the only attacks that can touch him are light-based (not energy) attacks. Exposure to a bright light source will also throw him back into solid form.
He can also create a field of impenetrable darkness, centered on a location within ten meters of himself, that can extend anywhere from ten meters to one hundred meters in diameter. No form of vision can penetrate the field, including infravision. Wraith is immune to this field. (He can see normally.)
Telepaths contact is difficult with Wraith when he is in his armored form. Telepaths have said to get a “madness resonance “from his shields (a by-product of his connection with the plane of Shadow.). Attempting to break his shields takes a powerful and skilled Telepath. Wraith has no control over this power, and cannot lower it. It is always active in his armored form, and somewhat lessened in his human form.

Movement Powers: Wraith can form batlike wings from his back. He can fly at about 45 mph. This Power only works in darkness or at night.
He can teleport from shadow to shadow (Shadowstep). The Range of this is up to 200 meters away. This Power only works if in shadows or darkness and he must know where he is going.
Wraith can also shift himself and up to 7000lbs of matter to the Demiplane of Shadow. He can then move it back to the same location or a different one he knows well. This Power only works in shadows or darkness. This power will only transport willing passengers.

Miscellaneous Powers: Wraith Is Immune to aging. He does not need to eat, nor does he create bodily waste. He does not sleep, and does not breathe (hero form only). He is immune to most radiation, & high and low pressure conditions (he can survive in a vacuum and in high-pressure conditions).
His sight is such that Darkness is like daylight to him. No form of darkness affects his vision (clouds, smoke, etc. do though)
His most powerful ability is his ability to reach out to shadow and summon sixteen minions to his side. He can summon multiple different kinds of creatures (From goblinoid “Boyz”, to huge hulking Ogres, Huge Mastiffs, or vaguely wyvern-like flying creatures. Two things always stay the same. They all have eyes that are similar to Wraiths, and 15 of them are alike, the 16th is a four-foot tall goblinoid creature wearing street garb and carrying a Colt Python .50 cal. handgun. His name is Squint, and he is, for lack of a better term, Wraiths henchman. He is smarter than most of the creatures Wraith summons, and has a distinct personality and a mind of his own (mostly). Wraith’s summoning power only works in Darkness or in heavy shadows.

Vulnerabilities: Most of Wraiths powers are lessened or do not work in bright light or sunlight. Also, all of his powers except for his life support powers (aging, etc.) shut down completely if he is standing on Holy Ground.
He takes increased damage to his vision from light-based attacks, and bright light bothers him in human and hero form.
Attacks based on light (not energy) do more damage to him than other attacks.
Wraith is a mutant and is detectable as such by beings that can detect him as one.

Background: Kyle Greystone was born into a wealthy family with every opportunity in life available to him. Some are born with a silver spoon; Kyle’s was a platinum one. Kyle’s father and mother both were from old money, but they were always looking forward. First with computers, then bio-genetics, until by his fourteenth birthday his family controlled one of the largest bio-genetics and engineering companies in the world.
Then in one night, it all came crashing down around him.
Three weeks after his fourteenth birthday his family was attacked by an assassin hired by a rival bio-genecist. The assassin was the mutant known as Sabertooth. He defeated the security of the mansion, and slew his younger brother and sister in their beds. His parents were next, but his mother managed to scream once before the killers claws silenced her forever. Kyle’s older sister, Rebecca, made it into his room just before Sabertooth, and she was struck and thrown into Kyle, knocking them both to the floor and covering them in blood. This was when Kyle manifested his powers. The shadows in the room exploded into motion, swirling around the young mutant, and he and his sister vanished into shadow seconds before Sabertooth could finish the job.
He later awoke in his grandparent’s farm in New York his torn and bloody sister barely breathing in his arms. She got to the hospital in time to save her life, but the attack left her paralyzed from the waist down.
They stayed on the farm for two more years until Bekka was 18, and she inherited the family business. Against her grandparents wishes, she and Kyle moved back to the mansion, and she regained control of the company. Under her control, the company moved away from bio-engineering, and into micro-engineering and powersuit/military research and development. The company grew wealthier with her guidance, and now was one of the leading providers of mobile armor and weaponry to the U.S. Government.
During this time Kyle was learning more about his powers and abilities. In the two years on the farm he learned how to cloak himself in darkness, and his strength and agility grew to more than human. His eyes also grew much more sensitive to light, and he slept less and less. On his eighteenth birthday, his powers completely manifested and he shifted completely to Shadow. There his education really began.

Wraiths year in shadow is still mostly a blur. He learned what he was, what he could be, and how to control his powers. He met the ruler of the land, a beautiful woman with dusky skin and brightly glowing eyes, Llandra, the Mistress of Shadow. She is the Goddess that rules the Plane, and she had plans for Wraith. She, along with her underlings, taught him what he needed to know to begin to control and use his powers, and then she taught him how to move from Shadow to the other Realms. On that day Wraith shifted back to Texas, and his life changed again.
The next 3 years Wraith was the unofficial protector of the city of San Antonio, Texas. Street gangs, pushers, and a low-classed supervillians. All this changed with a fight with the villain known as Carrion, a villain whose powers were similar to Sabertooth, but nowhere near his league. In that fight Wraith went bezerk, and for the first time he took a life. He ripped the still-beating heart from his chest, and threw him down on the street. When he came back to his senses, he realized what he had done, and left his home and family.
Another year and a half passed as Kyle wandered in search of something. He kept in touch with his sister, letting her know he was alive, but not coming home. It was in Canada that he heard of a man named Xavier, and that he helped mutants learn to control their abilities. So that night, Kyle embraced the shadows for the first time in a year, and took to the skies, bound for Salem, and Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters.

Kyle’s first few days at the school were not very good ones. He got on Wolverine’s bad side almost immediately. (He panicked when Wolvie got in his face and shifted to his armored form, and blasted him through a wall. Only Storm saved him from his claws, and it took him months to earn the veteran X-man’s trust.). The lessons he learned were sometimes harsh, often physically and mentally challenging and he began to wonder if he had made the right choice. Eventually, he was accepted as part of the team, and became an X-Man.
Not all his lessons were in his control and use of his powers. During his time with the X-men he met a young woman, Jubilee, and they grew fond of each other. Many a night was spent with her, sneaking out to hit clubs, or just spending quiet nights alone. Eventually, he fell in love with her. Life was perfect for a while, until one night he was summoned from their bed to Shadow. The Lady of Shadow requested an audience with her Knight. Both Kyle and Jubilee were transported to her audience chamber. The conversation that ensued changed his relationship and his life. He was told that she had chosen him as her Consort, and bestowed him the title of Prince, and then told him he could return with his “plaything”. She would collect him at her leisure. Kyle quickly transported both of them back to their room, and that’s where Jubilee blew up at him.
The fight was not pretty, and by the end of it Wraith shifted through Shadow back to Canada, and stayed away for a month, wandering the wilds there. When he finally returned, Jubilee had left the X-men to sort things out for herself. From that point on Wraith has not assumed his human form, and has spent more and more time alone, stalking the streets of New York, defending them as he did his home in Texas.
& now his story continues…….

Welcome AW, I like the character.

Before anyone gets concerned that this character is too powerful, have no worries. I got it covered. lol

Hay the last i read of Ulimited X-men Was The wepond -X Storyline Quick Question Are Beast And Storm Still An Item
 
Not really, Storm is actually seeming to be interested in Angel who has just made an appearance. Beast and Storm are at least back to being friends though.

Chewey
 
Too bad I thought they were a good coupel. Ill Play Hes A littel Broken About it. mind if i asked what happend
 
Beast started to become paranoid thinking the Xavier was tinkering with her brain to make her like him, so that he would have a reason to stay. That way Xavier would be able to use Hank's brain for the X-Men. Of course, that was not the case, but it put doubt in Hank's mind and ultimately pissed Storm off enough to break them up.

Chewey
 
Hmm, since it seems that both Wolverine and Gambit are both out, I'll through in a non-affiliated character:

Ultimate Venom

Oh yeah, thanks for the site Chewie, that's where I found out that Venom was an 'Ultimate'.
 
Hey guys, Im in quite a few threads now and have them and all their OOcs in my subscribed thread box to watch, Ive found that that is alot to keep track of so I am dropping the OOCs out of it. If you need to speak with me about something In this thread please just drop me a PM.

Chewie, you and I talk in PMs enough that we'll never be in the shade about this thread.

Thanks Guys and Girls,
~*~JD~*~

Arc and I made some beautiful music on our first thread together , but since then she has shunned me. Wonder if she will come through this time. HINT HINT.

Chewey
 
Ok, we have a good start going. If anyone who has not posted yet needs a way in, let me know by pm. I will try to give you a hand getting in the thread. I am always looking for more people to join if anyone is interested.

(Posting this everywhere I post)
http://www.iespell.com


It works just like words spell-checker, but in the IE browser.
Been using this little gem for a few months, & my story posts have been the best I have written in a long time.
Best of all..... IT'S FREE!!!!!!!!!!!

(& yes, I checked this post too)
 
If it hasn't been taken yet can I grab the part of Ultimate Spider-Man?

As far as I know, that part is still open. So by all means Angelus take on Mr. Parker. Welcome to the thread.

That is what this is all about Ms, having fun. I do this just to have some good fun and conversation. That is why I do not put up a ton of rules in my threads that I create.

Chewie ~ I have not shunned you ... *pouts*

Arc.... I did not mean that in an intentionally mean way on your part. It just seemed that the last few times that you were going to join a thread I was on, or already had joined a thread that I was on; you did not last long. We had a great time on the Forgotten World thread. I just loved working with you.

Chewey
 
Lan, it is Venom that Colossus is talking to , in case you were wondering. lol

Chewey
 
ok here it goes... as for a way in... i could just appear.... *shrugs* its a thought.


Tempora A.K.A. Dr. Temera Michealson PhD in Physics

Appearance:
D.O.B. July 27, 2129
Apparent age: 35 years old
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 160lbs.
Hair: Brown, short, in an easy care style
Eyes: Blue
Build: medium to thin as she has a habit of forgetting to eat while doing research.

Mutant abilities:
Time travel: she can move through time by using thought. There is a 1-day variance in her aim that she hasn’t been able to correct. She has a limit of 300 years either way from her base year of 2154 in which she can travel.
Adverse: random 5 to 30 minute disorientation upon her arrival at a new time.

Time stop: she has the ability to stop time in an area up to 300 meters of her location.
Adverse: the length of time she uses this ability is lost upon her first sleep after the event. Time doesn’t alter during her sleep cycle, except for her body seeming to be lest rested than when she doesn’t use the ability.

Time slow: she is able to slow time as much as ¼ its normal speed for any given length of time.
Adverse: at any random point in following 24 hours, she will experience the opposite affect of time around her speeding up to the equal inverse speed she created for the same given length of time she used earlier.

Time speed: she can speed time as much as 4 times the normal rate for any given length of time.
Adverse: equal to time slow in reverse. Time will slow for the same amount of time and at the same speed as she caused.

Precognition\Retro cognition: her ability becomes activate when she concentrates on an object or with touching an item. She only receives flashes of scenes involving the subject or item with no sense of time line of the flashes.
Adverse: If she uses this talent too often it will happen with everything she thinks about or touches.

Teleportation: this skill is limited to 1 ½ her weight, to 1 mile in distance and she must have an accurate mental picture of her destination.
Adverse: if the scene is wrong from her idea of it, there are three levels of failure, with minor flaws (up to 5%) she will have disorientation similar to her time travel side affect, with moderate flaws (up to 50%) she will fail to move and with major flaws( over 50%) she will fall unconscious at starting location.

Rapid healing: she has the ability to heal herself (everything but psychological damage) at up to 10 times the rate of natural healing.
Adverse: her body ages at the accelerated rate as if she had lived through the healing time at a normal rate.


Natural talents:
Time sense: she always knows what time it is, when and where she is.
Damage sense: she knows without outside examination what damage has been done to her body.
lightening reflexes: she reacts to her surroundings and its changes on an instinctual level.
Fast math: she can compute numbers in her head at rates that amaze others and rank her with the geniuses of the world.
Fast read: she reads with full comprehension at the same levels as the math skills.
Linguistic training: she picks up languages as if they were her natural tongue in a few hours of learning.


Learned knowledge:
computer programming, cramming, electronics, earth cultures 1945-2048, history, mutant kind culture 1983-2048, physics, dimensional physics, temporal physics


Disadvantages:
Unnatural aura: animals and aura sensitive people, (even those only slightly sensitive) feel uncomfortable around her, not to the point of attacking her, just a slight sense of un-ease.

Hunted: time elemental entropus (or the elemental known as entropy) It has yet to catch her (obviously) though she as been in the same time/location as entropy once. It was not enough to get her to stop traveling but enough to make her jumpy almost to the point of being paranoid.

Psychological limitation: scientific curiosity; She is always looking for the reasons and the how of things... to a fault.

Psychological limitation: must save reality; something happens in the future (past to her) that destroys all of the records in 2048 and the world has been recovering ever since. At that same time, someone did something or something occurred (history is unclear) that completely altered the reality that she sees before 2048. Its almost as if it’s a completely different reality all together, like two timelines crossed and were confused before they separated again.

Vulnerabilities: x2 drain; sometimes she suffers through twice the normal adverse affects for any given talent.

Vulnerabilities: outside teleport; she is susceptible to being teleported by someone else, even without her consent. When this happens, she is not ad risk from the side affects of teleporting herself.
