  1. Visionary stumbles back from the hit, eyes glowing as a blue white blast goes sailing over his opponents head. "Gee! I didn't realize we were dealing with Oni? Or are you an overgrown Kappa? I'd hate to be culturally insensitive towards you sir!" Even when he's getting his ass handed to him, Visionary keeps the Nice attitude for as long as he can. Even if that was a bit of a sneak diss.
  2. 22 toughness, damn Gonna blast the guy who punched me in the face with my Photon Vision
  3. Gimmick II Power Level: 7 (105/108PP) Unspent Power Points: 3PP Trade-Offs: -5 Defense / +5 Toughness In Brief: Youtuber Superhero out for attention Catchphrase: Thats the Gimmick Theme: I wanna be Famous! Alternate Identity: Joel Gimmis (Secret) Birthplace: Freedom City Residence: Freedom City Base of Operations: ACME Theater Prop warehouse Occupation: Youtuber superhero Affiliations: NA Family: Elaine Gimmis (Grandmother) Description: Age: 19 (April 1, 2001) Apparent Age: Gender: Male Ethnicity: Biracial (African and Caucasian) Height: 5'4 Weight: 135 Eyes: Grey Hair: Purple (Naturally Brown) Usually seen wearing a green tuxedo with a purple undershirt and shoes, the gaudy outfit protects his lean build with a thick layer of armor. He dyed his hair as part of his youtuber "personality" and as it became part of his personal look as Gimmick he just decided to keep doing so. Purple is the latest color but it's likely to change at any time. Out of costume he usually wears a hoody and a pair of black jeans. He still goes out of his way to be an attention grabber though. Physically he has a tan complexion and grey eyes. A teen of a lean build and surprising muscle definition. History: The First Gimmick was Jim Gimmis, who used a variety of gimmicked props to commit crimes of protest against the US Government during the time of civil unrest around the Vietnam War. The most notable of these was his "Patriot Act", which would be his last protest. After stealing a shipment truck of Vietnam War draft cards to burn, while dressed as the Patriot, he was shot by a National Guardsmen and died from the wound. This act made him a martyr in the eyes of the counterculture groups so prevalent in the day. The current Gimmick is Jim's grandson, Joel Gimmis. After stumbling upon one of his grandfather's stashes of gimmick props while he visited his grandmother, Joel set out to entertain himself with his grandfathers toys, originally planning to be a super villain like his grandfather. However on his first night out as Gimmick he interceded in a pursesnatching out of instinct and a video of the event went viral. Loving the attention, Joel ended up deciding to become a hero, filming his exploits and posting the footage online to gain more attention. Dear god did he love the attention... Personality & Motivation: Growing up Joel was regularly neglected by his father. This led to him developing a complex similar to Histrionic Personality Disorder, which mostly consists of him acting in over emphasized, almost cartoonish ways in order to receive attention, positive or negative. Although he lacks the Flirtatious behavior commonly associated with this disorder. His other main personality quirk is a longing to see others laugh. He often goes out of his way to team up with Serious, Stoic heroes in an attempt to get them to lighten up a bit. He wants to make people laugh and entertain people during his "shows" Powers & Tactics: If you are ever so unfortunate as to fight Gimmick, know that it will be recorded somehow, it will be humiliating for you, and it will end up online. This kids got more gimmicked comedy props than a theater supply shop. He tends to get up close and personal, often straight up throwing punches when all else fails. He has had some gymnastics training through his life, (he was convinced to by his father to take some lessons) which somewhat influences his fighting style. Lots of tumbles and leaps and flips. Power Descriptions: Prop comedy! All of Gimmick's weapons are disguised as comedy props and he uses them in 3 Stooges/Charlie Chaplin esque slapstick style of combat. A joy buzzer that delivers a non-lethal shock, silly string that is as strong as quick cement, a pair of shoes outfitted with springs that let him launch himself upward, and if those don't work he falls upon his firecrackers and smoke bombs to make a hasty getaway. The smoke bombs come in a variety of colors, the most common ones he uses being green, yellow, purple or blue. His silly string follows the same pattern and has the same 4 common colors. Once out of the can, the silly string quickly hardens from contact with air, becoming around the consistency of rubber cement. It dissolves after 2 hours. The shoes function like pretty much any cartoony spring-rigged shoes from classic cartoons, but also have a coiled version that lets him run faster than possible as a normal human. The Firecrackers are simply normal firecrackers that were bought at a fireworks store. His go-to weapon is his grandfather's "Joy Tazer", an electric weapon that has the power to both damage and on occasion stun them, However due to the fact it was created in the 70s and then sat in a hidden workshop til 2020 and Gimmick isn't 100% how it works, so it often fails to do more than deliver the initial shock. Complications: Attention Everybody!: Even in a life or death situation, even in the absolute WORST time for it to be so, Gimmick wants the spotlight firmly on HIM The Honorable name of Gimmick: Joel's grandfather, the original Gimmick, is someone he looks up to dearly. He works hard to live up to the example the former "villain" set, but many people involved with the counterculture back in the day take offense at this showboat using his name. Like and Subscribe!: Gimmick's a youtuber, he records all his fights with his camera or at least the wrap up and posts the footage online. Due to his semi-popularity online he attempts to avoid controversy as well as he can. 100% real Not Clickbait!: Paul Logans, AKA Clickbait is a battlesuit using YouTube villain who loves nothing more than to screw with the around equally popular Gimmick. Both of the pair hate each other with the burning passion of a thousand suns. Clickbait will often interfere with Gimmicks heroics even at the risks of civilians to mess with his rival.

  9. Visionary sighs as the bullets bounce off him. "Disappointing, but not unsurprising" Visionary then went to throw a punch but was distracted by the gas cloud, winding up and missing horribly, hitting nothing but air. "Gee! Nice trick Mister!"
  10. "Look Daddy's boy you really don't want to pick this fight." Visionary's eyes glow as he speaks, some legitimate aggravation leaking through his normal "heroic" voice. Something about Ryu was just rubbing him the wrong way... "I'm sure your Yakuza daddy and his buddies are really scary but I don't think you've really thought this through, for one thing no one can "Own" a neighborhood." He chuckles "And you're not exactly Al Capone"
  11. "Uh um...Now now theres no need for this to get violent, I'm sure we can all come to an understanding!" Visionary lands between the biker and the other hero, holding his hands out to keep them "You can't possibly think this is a fight you would win Sir. Even with your superior numbers me and my friend here are fairly high level super humans...well he's human, I was made out of biotech but that's irrevelevant in this particular case, you will lose if you pick this fight. The only change is I will have to fly you to the hospital rather than jail."
  12. 23 to assist in intimidation
  13. "Excuse me gentlemen, but I'm going to need your license and registration" Visionary hovers down over the street, Yellow cape flowing in the wind. These gentlemen were causing quite the ruckus with there "Rampage" so it's time someone held them responsible for it. "It's been a long day for everyone, people are just trying to get home for the day. Do you have to rampage right now during rush hour?"
  14. "So...We're going to do like, an actual team? We got a name for that?" Visionary has taken a seat next to the others, although he doesn't order. Advantage of synthetic life is that you don't have to eat "Also I'm the Visionary by the way...I'm, uh, new" "
  15. "This...this is a bad idea..." Visionary hovered over the street outside the noodle shop. He had seen the message on CapesList and, as a self proclaimed defender of Emerald City, he figured he should show up. However he also realized his father being Talos is pretty common knowledge, mostly because he was very open about that fact when asked, and most heroes were (understandably) slow to trust him. On the one hand showing up here could convince some of them he really was a hero, on the other hand it could lead to him getting attacked, and while it was unlikely they could do any lasting damage he did not wish to burn bridges he hadn't built yet... Ah well, whats the worst that could happen. The red skinned artificial lifeform finally worked up the nerve to enter, full knowing what the worse that could happen was. "Hello...folks..."
  16. "Put the noisemaker down buddy" Dogpound rushed forward landing a haymaker square in the goons jaw. The force would send that goon straight to the ground, unconcious. He kicks the fallen crooks gun away as he heads to the front, his fighting spirit burning like a lit match. "Somebody could get hurt."
  17. I'll take the ten and sock the gunner in the face
