"It's okay, Winters I understand what you mean," Jake gave a slight smile and gave him a firm handshake. With a quick lookover at the agent standing next to him he made sure to not to comment on the amount of clothes she was wearing. It was quite hot here, just because it didn't effect him like the norms, doesn't mean he didn't notice. Jake followed in behind Vves and Winters, making sure not to draw too much attention. He had done some research n the band in question, from what he could gather,they were mostly attention seekers who wanted it from the lowest common denominators of fans. As he entered to room, it was a disaster area, looking more like a horror movie with each passing second. Blood and guts all over. It reminded him of the last mission of he had with AEGIS, though that had less guts and more the smell of burned humans.

Jake watched the people in the crowd, he was used to watching people and monitoring how they act. From what he could tell it was mostly just normal people here. But still just as well, there were some super humans here. Statically there was bound to be some here. He overheard the young women talking it sounded like nothing of importance. He tried not to look like he was listening. From what he could tell it was mostly about clothes and fashion. Typical things young people were concerned about.

I'm here...

Jake had to admit, he was very surprised to hear from Winter. He had a relatively decent mission when he worked with him five years ago, now that he was out of the agency, he could only wonder how bad it was this time. After a long argument with his editor about doing a story about Satanic Panic, he got a good excuse to head down to Shreveport, LA. Packing his things he fly down Shreveport, making sure to bring his costume and transformation watch. Unlike a lot of people, Jake liked the warm weather of the south. Because of his powers he didn't feel the sun like a normal person, he felt pleasure when the rays of the sun hit him not pain. On the four hour flight he managed to absorb a great deal of ultraviolet light. He wore a light blue button down shirt, blue jeans and penny loafers. By the time he got to the town, it was getting dark and he could tell the people of the town were on edge. Anybody from out of town was getting the sideye. It didn't help that he had his press badge on. After getting directions he flew down to the site, he hoped it wasn't as bad as he heard.

Pulsar managed to shrugged off the monster's attack, it hurt, but he didn't let it show. "Come on then, is that all you've got?" Though really he was still preparing himself of another round of two on one demon fighting. Which is something they don't really cover in the military.

I'm in!

Flying head first at the beast, the beast lunged head first at Pulsar, hitting him with a mighty blow. Pulsar managed to take the hit from the beast. And returned with a energy blast from his eyes, sending the beast flying back. He hoped that demonic beast was down for good.

It was an ordinary summer day in Freedom City, hot and a bunch of low level crime. When there is heat there is always crime not far behind. Normal around this time he would be tracking down some lead or getting a quick bite to eat from Stan at the Food Truck around the corner from the office. But today he felt like putting on his new costume and going out on a patrol. Besides its not like people would notice if he was gone from his office job anyway. Going out on patrols was a fairly new thing for him, but that superhero training had really paid off. Stopping at a ledge to take a break, when he noticed two large beast appearing out of nowhere. Charging up with energy Pulsar flew down to see what was going on.

I totally missed that. I can just make a few adjustments to that. :)

Hello, I'm a fairly new player to this game and would like to join in a active place. This seems like a good place to start. Jake Manning is a writer for the local World Magazine and is eager to write more human interest stories. One story he wants to write about is one of local heroes Keith LaMarr. LaMarr is a fairly well known man in the community for his work with the local youth programs as well as his work as a teacher. After the interview Mr. LaMarr consoles one of his students, who's brother recently died of an overdose. LaMarr knows the drugs were supplied an old school gangster who LaMarr was never able to catch. Jake decides to help out as Pulsar. Pulsar has contacts and would like to help out one of his all time favorite heroes.

Hello I'm Nexus, but I also go by Robert. I've been reading comics off and on for the last 15 years now. I've been a fan of comic book characters since kindergarten and I love that I get the chance to rp with you guys. I've always been interested in M&M since I found a pdf of it online. I though the setting and characters were a lot of fun plus it wasn't so dark and gritty like the comics have been since 2001. My hobbies are writing, reading, acting, and playing the occasional video game. I mostly read plays and new age pulp stories. I have been doing the rp thing for a while now, I've just never done it on a sit quite like this. I done the occasion tumblr rp, but they always just seem to fissile out in three or four months.

Alright, I updated the tactics section.

So now I've changed it 23 instead of 21.

Alright I've made some slight changes to the characters age. Hope you like it better.

Player Name: Nexus Character Name: Pulsar Power Level: 10 (150/150PP) Trade-Offs: None Unspent Power Points: 0 Progress To Bronze Status: 0/30 In Brief: A young man trying to help people the best way he can. Residence: 221 Apt D Clinton St. Midtown Alternate Identity: Jacob “Jake” Manning Identity: Secret Birthplace: Baltimore, MD Occupation: Writer Affiliations: People and/or groups you work with. Family: Maria Alvarez (mother) Benjamin Manning (father, deceased) Description: Age: 27 (6/17/88) Gender: Male Ethnicity: Caucasian/Hispanic Height: 6’0” Weight: 190 lbs. Eyes: Brown Hair: Black In his teen years, he was a relatively average looking teenager. As he matured into adulthood, Jake’s frame filled out with several dozen pounds of pure muscle and he eventually reached six feet tall. He often wears clothes that hide just how athletic he really is. He eventually took to wearing a nerdish pair of glasses in the hopes of looking more stylish. Power Descriptions: His unique physiology constantly absorbs ultraviolet radiation and converts it into pure energy. The radiation also allows him to fly at high speeds without the major effects of gravity. The energy also gives him enhanced strength, and durability. History: Jake Manning was raised in an abusive home; his father was a drunk who often took out his bitterness on his wife and son. When he was seventeen years old, his powers began to emerge. After high school his father tried to attack him, he accidentally blasted him through a wall crippling him to the point that he ended up in a coma from his injuries. Jake was so afraid that he ran away from home. He was eventually found by the government and they offer an opportunity to fight for his country. He was taken to a special facility where he was trained to use his abilities and became an agent to work on black ops missions. Jake was a natural agent and a quick learner. By the time he was he was one of the best at stealth, information gathering and observing people without them noticing. Under examination the scientist informed him that his powers allowed him to absorb ultraviolet radiation. The radiation is then converted into energy, allowing him to flight, superhuman strength and fire energy bolts. After years of working for AEGIS, he grew tired of the grind. Eventually he left the government when he was twenty-three after a mission went bad and he was force to kill a lot of people. Something he never wanted to do. Moving to Freedom City, he roomed with Daniel Cruz, who was studying art. Together they became friends and a writing team. Together they both wrote for their college’s paper, The Aegean. Jake influenced Sam into writing him into more human interest stories. Together they created a comic strip called ‘Nightowl and The Sparrow’. One day Sam spotted Jake using his powers, he encouraged him to use his powers for the greater good. While he did help people he made sure to keep his identity a secret. Those were fun times couldn’t last forever, eventually went their separate ways. Jake graduated with degrees in Political Science and Journalism. He worked for a couple of different publications before landing a job at World Magazine. While at work he’s virtually invisible, few notice him, which is something he doesn’t mind since he gets more work done without people bothering him. His friend Daniel went on to become a professional cartoonist, and they lost touch for several years. Eventually the pair recently met back up again at a convention. With Daniel changed into a woman, she told him that she had transition into a woman and was going by Michelle Ross. Something she had been dealing with since her childhood. Michelle encouraged Jake to do more and be more active, which is something he took to heart. Now he fights crime as Pulsar trying help people to the fullest of his abilities. Personality & Motivation: In his everyday life Jake tends to be a bit of a social misfit, fading into the background, that he often goes unnoticed, though that’s mostly just calling back to his blackops training. Though most of the women he interacts with do notice his rather good looks. While in college he was the same, except he was noticed by his roommate Samuel Ross. Who drew him out of his comfort zone and helped him socialize better. When he is called on to socialize he can be a pretty easy going guy that tries to sees the good in everyone. Powers & Tactics: A man with military training, his first instinct is to get people to safety. Calling back to his training, Pulsar likes to his opponents hard and fast to avoid collateral damage. With his powerset he can hit his enemies hard with either his fist or a well directed energy blast with his eye beams. If he has to retreat he will make sure to get as many people to safety as possible before. He fights to protect people, and his first priority is to shield people and his second instinct is to get rid of whoever is putting the people in danger. As a young man he struggled to control his powers, so now he always thinks before he fights, a military minded young man. He knows his moves can do some real damage. Complications: Redemption: Jake wants redemption for the lives he took during his finale mission.
