Homunculus Character Creator

There was once a group of orphans, who stayed at an orphanage in a run down industrialized city. The city was run down because the lord over the kingdom was tyrannical. The orphans were orphans because their parents (in most cases) died in this day's terrible age.

In this world, many towns were industrializing and magic was becoming obsolete.

Nowadays, the only people who used magic was the occassional soldier who disliked guns or simply couldn't use guns. But there was a single exception. There was a scientist who wanted to industrialize magic, making it even more useful by putting it into perfect use with society.

Our story is about this scientist, and the group of orphans at the orphanage that he kidnapped. He brought them to his underground laboratory, and they all were subjected to experiments on their bodies. After a while, they were transformed with all kinds of various magics to make them into perfect house holders or military soldiers.

However, the children grew to resent everything happening to them. They hated the scientist, his painful experiments, and the way the world hadn't even noticed their disappearance. One day, a couple of the children managed to escape their bondings, and broke the others out as well, and they all escaped the laboratory, destroying most of it in the process of running away from the guards on duty. On the way out, a few of the children had killed a few of the guards.

Once they escaped, they stayed far away from the the industrial city they had lived in, but found that a great number of other cities were similar and having their own problems.

What will our children do now? They simply wish to not be experimented on, above all else. However, due to the experiments they've been subjected to they are all now immortal and have strange powers. They want to be normal, or some of them do at least. The group decided that it is best to stick together, though they don't always get along.

----------------------------------------------------------

Alright alright, I hope you enjoyed the story. If you skipped the story, here's the summary: Orphans are abducted by a magical scientist. They escape. They want to be normal. The world has magic but it is low level obsolete crap being replaced by industrial technology.

Technology level and Era setup: Around Colonial level guns AT BEST, no cars, sails are on boats, men wear top hats, women don't show skin.

Our characters will all be orphans with special powers, or soldiers working for the scientist to capture the kids (note that the soldiers won't be interacting much, mainly they'll just be villians).

Our children will be anywhere in age from 4-16 (when kidnapped), and they'll have been in captivity about two years, but nobody will have aged since the first experiment was immortality, making them into what the scientist calls a "Homunculus".

They'll have each gained a special power that is one-of-a-kind to them, nobody else in the group will have that power. And it can be just about anything, though there are limits in the sense that I'll obviously stop godmodding. Specifically, off the top of my head, I'll stop something that allows movement or control of time in any form, or teleportation. Mainly, their powers are effects on their body or mind, though a few other things might be acceptable.

Also, please note that not all powers will be useful in war or combat. The reason for this is the fact that the experiments were also to create perfect servants that would be sellable as slaves to nobles who want better people to take care of their house.

Final note on powers is that, since they are 'immortal', they don't require food or water (though they still desire it), their body has no limits which allows them to use the full 100% of their body's strength and senses, and they have a slight mental connection with each other due to a certain orphan's abilities connecting their minds (this mostly comes in the form of empathy for sensing if someone's in trouble).

NOW! With that long bunch of stuff out of the way, here's the character skeleton:

Name:

Age:

Gender:

Appearance:

Unique Power:

Personality:

Bio: (As we all have the same starting point, this should mostly be about 'on the way out' events from during the escape, and you can include something from before being kidnapped if you want, like how their parents died, etc.)

Goals: (do they want to be human? Are they the leader of the group? Do they want to find someone? Etc.)

Name: Zachary Torios

Age: 10

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Unique Power: He can absorb metal and summon it anywhere on his body. He can mold this metal into rough tools and weapons. Metal that he has absorbed, when released, cannot be used to cut him, but can still cause blunt damage. The larger an object, the longer it takes to absorb it.

Personality: Likes to cut things. Except cute animals. Often steals things, and is generally distrusting of strangers, but is genuinely nice to his friends, in that off-kilter way that a criminal psychopath can be nice.

Bio: Zachary's father was a butcher who taught him about knives. Shortly afterward, his parents were killed in what he referred to as a "tragic knife juggling incident that totally wasn't my fault." He was one of, if not the, only orphan who only slightly hated the scientist that kidnapped them, because he thought his power was cool. When the orphans broke out, he almost considered going back in exchange for a bribe that the scientist offered. Almost.

Goals: Step 1: Kill Evil King and take everything he owns. Step 2: ???. Step 3: Profit!

Name: Niho

Age: 12

Gender: Female

Appearance: (look at Signature)

Unique Power: She has the ability to psychically connect her mind and the minds of others. This is a very passive ability, as the Scientist wanted to make sure she was under complete control before completing the power and making it strong enough to control minds. She has used her power so far to connect the minds of all the orphans so that there is an empathy link, and even more jarring is the fact that the scientist connected her mind to a Cyborg Chimera he had made, who she calls 'Mr. B'.

Personality: Withdrawn greatly, even before the scientist incident. She shows a great kindness to others, however, and refuses to harm those she calls friend. however, she shows an interesting disregard for human life in that those who are not her friends she doesn't care about at all.

Bio: As the others were escaping, she made everyone help her save Mr. B. By 'made' I of course mean she asked them and tried to save him alone, and got caught, so a few of the others helped her. One was captured in the attempt of saving her, but told them all to just go without him. Niho was sad for him, and was quiet for the larger portion of their escape as she rode Mr. B around behind everyone.

It proved to be the right choice, as Mr. B's strength allowed them to get past several magical guards who were not prepared for it. On the way out Mr. B suffered damages that make him practically useless in combat now, but he gets around.

Goals: To fix Mr. B. To save her friends who wish to be human again. To save her friend who was left behind at the laboratory. To Become normal herself. In that order is what's most important to her.

Name: Delia Johnson

Age: 16

Gender: female.

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Unique Power: The ability to pull any kind of weapon or item out of her forehead, as long as she copies it before-hand by touching it for at least five minutes. Object can only be pulled out once, and can only be copied once.

Personality: Completely insane, yet very cheerful about it. Believes herself to be some kind of magical girl, and tends to rant about things that make no sense to the others.


Bio: Was driven insane by her experimentation, and was deemed "broken" by the scientist, who planned to despose of her. However, that was around the time that the break out happened, so she escaped before she could be terminated. Decided to stick with the rest of the group because they "seemed like fun", as she put it.

Goals: She likes the idea of revenge, but would much rather go and and have some fun.

Name: Malon

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: Short green hair, blue maid outfit with white frills. Sensual proportions. Her body is not the same in appearance from the way she was, having been reshaped somewhat to be more... mature. She was 15 when she was taken, is now 17, and appears to be 19. Her outfit is somewhat revealing, in that her cleavage shows and her skirt is shorter than what most people in this age would wear.

Unique Power: Her body shapeshifts into anything that has been placed into her by the scientist. She cannot add more objects to it. Her various shapeshifting abilities include her outfit, and: Broom, Dustpan, Water, Soap, mop, feather duster... you get the idea.

Personality: Bossy. She dislikes being told what to do, and is always telling others what to do. Isn't the leader but likes to think she is.

Bio: When the Scientist held her in her cell, he gave her a ... 'special duty', to serve him especially. The experiments on her were a success so he made use of her before selling her. She was supposed to be the first to be sold, but then the children escaped, or at least most of them. She kicked the scientist in the balls on the way out, which earned a cheer from one of the other girls she had helped escape. On the way out, that girl was recaptured, but things were too dangerous for her to go back to help her.

Goals: To become a normal human so she can stop wearing a maid outfit, and to become a princess.

Name: Mia

Age: 12

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Unique Power: Ability to create and manipulate surprisingly strong forcefields. Most are straong enough to stop a bullet or an explosion. Can be expanded or changed at will.

Personality: Appearently, the experiments performed on her by the doctor traumatized her in some way, as she now rarely speaks. Msot of her communicating is done through actions or small noises, though she does talk when she really has to. She is incredibly shy, especially around new people, and even comes off as skittish to her makeshift 'family', often jumping at any noise, and usually curling into a ball at louder noises. Her timidity makes it usual for her to hide behind other members of the group, often clinging to them by grabbing onto their clothes or hand. Deep down, she is a sweet girl, and she often displays her affection through hugs.

Bio: When Mia was very young, she lost her parents to a man that had gone crazed due to lack of money and food; a robber-turned murderer who killed her parents ransacked her home. After that, she was dropped off at an orphanage, picked up my the doctor, and then experimented on like all the others. When the time came to escape, she stayed hidden and protected herself with her forcefields until the noise died down, before sneaking out to join the others who had gotten away.

Goals: Survival, protecting her family, overcoming her fears.

Name: Felix Stryder

Age: 5

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Unique Power: He has the ability to conjure and manipulate fire, but due to his young age he as limited control over his abilities.

Personality: Despite being experimented on, Felix remains a happy, cheerful little boy who is curious, loves to play and make other people smile. He still has an aversion to adults though and whenever his abilities get out of control (usually when he's feeling strong emotions) the only person who can calm him down is his sister. He also has a fear of most machinary and only feels truly safe around his sister.

Bio: He was only a toddler when he and his sister were taken to be experimented on. He grew to be afraid of adults, mostly male, because of those experiments. The only comfort he had in the laboratory was his sister, who was able to spend time with him despite everything. And even though his sister explained to him that what that doctor did to them was wrong, he kind of likes his powers.

Goals: Felix is five. He doesn't have many goals except to get a handle on his powers and live a happy life with his sister.

Name: Yvonne "Von" Stryder

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Unique Power: The ability to choose to touch. Meaning, if she doesn't want to touch a wall, she can walk right through it like walking through water, minus the wetness. She can also do the same with other people, though the number of people is limited. This is useful for she can pull a person through a wall then leave them stuck there for the rest of their life... or until someone gets them out of there.

Personality: Mostly quiet and perhaps a bit snarky, but stubborn as well and very protective of her little brother, Felix, who is the only family she has left. She hates being oppressed and caged, which is why in the duration of her stay in the lab she fought every step of the way.

Bio: She was one of the more stubborn subjects in the lab, always fighting the guards and scientists who experimented on her. One fight she won was the right to see her brother everyday, though sometimes she would cause a serious offense and be stuck in a water tank for a few days. Despite her powers, there are some things she can not pass through, at least at first, and it takes concentration to do so. When her powers slowly developed, she was put into into a suspended sleep so she wouldn't break out. When the actual break out occurred, she was released from her water tank and immediately went to find her brother. She then escaped with the rest of the orphans. Like her brother, she has grown to like her powers and found them useful in many ways.

Goals: To live a happy life with her brother, to help her brother control his own powers, and to help others like her in any way.

Name: Jack Wilshere

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Unique Power: Manipulation of wind, which mostly consists of creating wind blades at this point, but the degree of control may increase eventually.

Personality: Well balanced compared to the rest of the group. However, his anger bubbles away beneath the surface, and the only way he stops himself from snapping is by fighting. He keeps his little problem hidden well, but slowly, his sanity is slipping away.

Bio: Jack's father died before he was born, and his mother quickly remarried. His step father was a nasty man, but his mother match him, and they eventually killed each other when Jack was five, making him one of the orphans that had been there the longest. He always tried to keep the others out of trouble, and usually received a large amount of punishment for it. He smiled it off, until one day, he snapped and cut a scientist in half, triggering the escape. He then ran through the security, annihilating them for the sake of not leaving them alive. When he came to his senses, he was almost recaptured, as he went to find a change of clothes, which would allow him to keep his problem a secret.

Goals: To make sure none of his friends die.
