Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Just wait until you meet him, thats when you learn what a shit magnet he is...

He could have easily worked at Genetech, most likely kicked out for even more unethical research...
I dunno... GeneTech is pretty shady sometimes. What kind of stuff has he done?

I liked that film :)
Oh, and can my first character be an NPC "villain"? I haven't come up with a very dynamic character yet.....
"You shall perish, whatever you do! If you are taken with arms in your hands, death! If you beg for mercy, death! Whichever way you turn, right, left, back, forward, up, down, death! You are not merely outside the law, you are outside humanity. Neither age nor sex shall save you and yours. You shall die, but first you shall taste the agony of your wife, your sister, your sons and daughters, even those in the cradle! Before your eyes the wounded man shall be taken out of the ambulance and hacked with bayonets or knocked down with the butt end of a rifle. He shall be dragged living by his broken leg or bleeding arm and flung like a suffering, groaning bundle of refuse into the gutter. Death! Death! Death!"

Hes based on Dr. Moreau, generally Ikabod sees himself as God and creates a multitude of monsters for fun. Then he uses said monsters to hunt people for sport, in the last SSU he mounted a full scale attack on Solumbra to try and improve the human race by preying on them.

He worked for the British Government in their biological weapons program at Fort Halstead. He could have also spent some time at Genetech, Ikabod isn't afraid to capture humans and experiment on them.

GeneTech will do anything for a profit. As long as they're not found out, they're willing to do just about anything.

I gave Demetri a cult, if it wasn't obvious.

Do I need to post about them?

Looks like we might need a hero on here to balance out some of these villains.

I just have two questions:

1. What's the primary mythology we're going with here? Are we mainly using Norse mythology to come up with a religion-based character or can we use any mythology?

2. That space anomaly or whatever it's called: is that for any already planned purpose or am I free to exploit it?

1. No you arent set in anything, it is your superhero afterall :) although for place names please try and stick with the Greek Underworld themes in the city. Otherwise you can choose whatever name you like

2. For you own interpretation

The space thing was because Uru requested it.

Your character can have any mythology.

Okay. Dial answered my questions so now for my character:

Dante
 
Member Name: Canis Lupis




Character Name/Secret Identity: Dante/Tobias Abihu (everyone calls him Dante. Tobias Abihu is his real name and he likes to keep it to himself)




Character Bio: Tobias Abihu (dubbed Dante by the media for obvious reasons) was originally one of God's angels. Satan, however, had convinced Tobias and some other angels to rebel against God. Satan failed miserably and he, along with the other rebels, were banished from Heaven and sent to Hell. This makes Tobias one of the original fallen angels.

Some time after Tobias's exile to Hell, he seeks retribution. He wants to escape the torment of Hell and return to Heaven. So he makes an appeal to God: if he can capture the most evil man on Earth and send him to Hell, then Tobias will be welcomed back to Heaven.

Tobias agrees and God sends him to Earth via the atmospheric anomaly in order to hunt down Ikabod.




Powers: Since he is a demon, he has quite a few (though not all) of the powers that demons have. These powers are:

  • pyrokinesis
  • mind-reading
  • levitation
  • superhuman strength
  • control of crows (and the ability to see what they see)





Weaknesses: Being a demon, Tobias has many of the weaknesses of classic demons. These are:

  • mortality (since he's on Earth, he no longer has the immortality he had in Hell)
  • inability to enter churches (only limited to Christian/Catholic churches. He can enter mosques and synagogues, though it does weaken him. Any other centers of worship do not affect him)
  • power wanes upon contact with Christian paraphrenalia like the Bible or crosses
  • salt burns his skin





Character Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRmMXKyxcZQ ("The God Particle" from the "Angels and Demons" soundtrack, composed by Hans Zimmer)




Specific Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0iqZbM1Pdc (the fourth movement of Dmitri Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony. My absolute favorite classical piece and one that I think fits Tobias/Dante well. It highlights how he is angry at how Satan deceived him into rebelling against God and also shows his desire for redemption)




Character Picture: http://www.parascientifica.com/img/demon.jpg

I created an image on Heromachine but I can't figure out how to upload it. That image will have to do for now (except for the wings; Tobias lacks wings). He also has a body covered in classic Roman armor (with spikes on the shoulderpads).

Accepted.

You have to save the image to your computer and upload it somewhere, like imgur or DA.

Also, considering the connection of Tobias with Raphael, the angel of nightmares, will we be seeing Raphael often?

I'm not really sure. I wasn't even aware that Tobias was a real angel! I just looked up names that meant demon and *poof* Tobias came up.
