Heroes Journey: A Superhero RPG

With CAU being a take on the Westernization of superheroes Heroes Journey is an easternization take of superheroes. It has your Henshin Heroes, Magical Girls, Magical Beings, or Animeesque Flying Bricks. Like CAU Heroes Journey isn't about a plot it has more to do with world building in not just the world itself but the characters that reside within the world they live in.

Good idea.

Main character, well not really main main character but the hero character I'm opening with.

A cross between Harry Potter and Captain Marvel

I have a few characters that would be awesome for this.

Age: 18

More to come

Just a notice I'm looking at starting the RPG up either tomorrow evening or Monday evening:) 

Sweet!

Jim Faust
 
Battle Mage
 
Former orphan taken in by assassin turned librarian Remus Long, Jim is a young man with great ambitions. He's also the type to not think things through. Jim lives with Remus, who runs Aeon Library, reportedly the largest receptacle of magic literature known to man.
 
Jim is a Mage who uses a gun to cast spells. Six bullets each, earth, wind, water, fire, void and soul. He fashions the bullets himself but Remus gave him the gun as a holdover from his assassin days
 
Remus Long aka Fatal Fang
 
Remus Long is a "mythic" a catch-all title supernatural beings have. Remus is an Alpha male werewolf who's past is mostly shrouded in mystery. What is known to those in the underworld is that Remus was formerly one fifth of the assassin group "five fingers of death" for about ten year, quitting two years ago under mysterious circumstances and adopting Jim in something called the "Horizon Event" which he's REALLY not fond of talking about.
 
Remus is a good guardian to Jim, quite different from his young ward. Where Jim is impulsive, Remus is patient. Where Jim is a bit of a smartass, Remus is quite respectable and wise. Wisdom comes with age though, and some might say Remus sees a lot of his younger self in Jim, explaining why he wants to care for him
 
Remus is a lycanthrope/werewolf but does not possess the usual weakness due to killing the alpha who turned him. He does get nauseous around silver though. He is superstrong (class 30 in human form, 60 in werewolf form), super speed and reflexes (Mach 3 and Mach 6), agility and heightened senses. He also possesses great knowledge about magic and mythics. He also has his own style of fighting, Fist of Fenrir which is based around his lycanthropy.
 
He looks like Yugo Ogami from Bloody Roar in a nice suit and glasses
 
Johnny Cool
 
Johnny cool has light blue skin, white spiked hair and white eyes. He seems to know Remus very well, but he isn't someone Remus would call a friend. Johnny is a mythic of the vampire subspecies, but instead of sucking blood, he absorbs heat and dispenses cold from his body, giving him cryokinetic abilities in addition to heightened physical abilities. cool, calm and collected with a sick sense of humor, Johnny is the leader of the assassin group Five Fingers of Death, and that makes him a former coworker/ally of Remus. While Remus disapproves of Johnny coming around, especially for the bad influence he could be on Jim, he's usually very civil about it, and so is Johnny. Johnny has tried many times to lure Remus back into the gang, but to no avail
 
Reflex/real name Robin Arrow-A magically attuned marksman born in the Forest of the Hunters, Robin Arrow is a master of motion magic, able to alter or change the way an object is flying or negate the motion of others if they come into close quarter combat with him
 
Mami Wata/Monica Agua-A mermaid with the ability to hypnotize men and utilize different aspects of the sea
 
Nina Dovahkin/Marla Scales-A dragonborn child
 
El Rell/Ellis Relliso

Ice, time, motion, void, core, earth, mind, steel, nightmare, myth, fade, fire and emotions. Each vampire/Concepteferatu has an ability related to these things, or receives sustenance from it in place of blood. The members are

1. Legend-Myth
2. Excalibur-Steel
3. Tempus-time
4. Anansi-Mind
5.Kukulcan-Earth

10. Turmoil-emotions
11. Methos- Chaos
12. Dissidia-Fade
13. Lastimus-nightmare

Actually I was going for The Guild or Collegium(Latin for guild) 13. Actually liked Collegium 13. It consist of 13 of the most powerful mages who are also anthropomorphic personifications of, as you mentioned, ice, time, trickery, void, core, earth, mind, steel, nightmare, myth, fade, fire and emotions.

There are more within the Collegium but the 13 are considered the highest and respected position within the Collegium.

In other words, they're the closest things Heroes Journey has to not just a pantheon but also a God. Which is justified as some rumors spurn out that the Collegium happen to be reincarnations of the Old Gods.

I'm okay with that. I wasn't planning on them being gods but just powerful vampires.

I didn't think of them as anthromorphic personifications of concepts, but just vampires who's bloodsucking was replaced by these things

like johnny fed/controlled ice/cold but I can roll with this. It just makes the whole thing with Johnny being an assassin a bit different, since that's how Remus knew him and it'd be weird for a god to do that

but I can roll with it I guess, just now Remus looks like a dick for talking to the concept of Order/Law like that when I figured it was a guild of powerful vampires who Johnny belonged to and moved in secrecy. I'll edit my post later so he doesn't look like an ass, since he's generaly supposed to come off as a respectable dude

I like the name you gave, and I'm sorry for forgetting it in the write up dude

Ah. You could just have it that Johnny was a field agent instead of a member. Still not that bad of a title since it did took a group to take him down. Pretty nice feat I'd say. And yeah I'd go for an edit. I don't mind a character with an edge but he was a little too edgy. Especially towards Uji.
