Super Secret Special Supernatural or Scientific Situation Squad Meme

You've surely seen something similar. An ensemble of people unique people all brought together to face off against equally unique threats that cannot be overcome with conventional methods. The squad has few members but has existed in some form for a very long time indeed.

"There was an idea. To bring together a group of remarkable people. So when we needed them, they could fight the battles that we never could."

1 Post your character to the meme outlining a few details about them and what sort of role they play on or opposing the team. Additionally, playing someone caught up in the squad's business without any connection to them is also possible.

2 Tag others, either using some of the prompts below or of your own. Presuming CR will usually be implied, but playing a newbie to the team is good too.

Comments

Tim Drake | DC Preboot/Return of the Joker fusion

[howigotthese]

[ooc: Former field operative, would be primarily used as a hacker and/or mission control, probably. Selectively mute for reasons We Don't Talk About.]

Matt Murdock || Daredevil

[blindstrike]

[Blind lawyer who spends his nights as a vigilante. Has some incredible senses he downplays. Would be interested in something like escort mission, only Matt's assumed to be a civilian package. Voicetesting]

Re: Matt Murdock || Daredevil

[jrey]

How about escorting a murder witness with a big mouth and too much ego for her own good? :)

Guila | The Seven Deadly Sins

[demoknight]

[ A time-displaced knight with magic sword and armor, and also the ability to make explosions just happen. Very much a combatant against the big nasty baddies. ]

Harry Dresden | The Dresden Files

[no_love_potions]

[The only practicing wizard in the Chicago phonebook and a P.I. to boot.]

[clay_and_truth]

[Magical Avatar of Truth, Justice and Feminism. Yeah. There's no way this can go badly at all.]

Atomic Robo | That comic that's named after him

[zorth]

[An 80+ year-old robot built in secret by Nicola Tesla with superhuman strength and a PHD in physics. Either he's working with the squad as a scientific consultant, or he (or somebody who works for him) is at fault for whatever fresh spatial anomaly is making life hard for everybody.]

[kittysdragon]

[My Atomic Robo lore could be better - I've read the odd free comic day issue - but I figure teaming up a robot and an alien dragon could be fun! Pretty much ok with any prompt in the Off Duty, In Action or Mystery Sections.]

Sinbad | Magi: Adventures of Sinbad/Bokuen no Sinbad

[conquerorofwaves]

[ooc: a combo platter of con-artist and 'make things blows up', he's the skilled rookie who's not good at taking orders if he can't see the immediate benefit]

Vin | Mistborn

[doomedtheworld]

[Kid likely recruited right off the streets with the supernatural power to eat metal and use it to fuel superpowers. Yeah. Whatever the mission is, meet your muscle. She's about five feet tall, ninety-eight pounds soaking wet and one of the deadliest people on the planet.]

Jessie Reynolds/OC/OTA

[jrey]

She's up for anything but the horde. Jessie has some military background, so she could easily slide into any of the roles.

garret hawke | dragon age 2

[hapostate]

[ your friendly neighborhood mage. he keeps trying to get out of the job, but has a bad habit of ending up right back in the middle of the squad's business no matter how many times he resigns. cases involving misuse of magic or demony things are his specialty; potential partners are advised not to encourage his jokes (or his flirting). ]

Alex Price | InCryptid book series

[scales_and_silence]

Cryptozoologist/biologist, not as much of a bad ass as his sisters, god to colony of pantheistic talking hyper-intelligent mice (included in package, along with pet mini-griffin). Raised by family to be really super-paranoid (and skilled) because of holy order of monster hunters bent on wiping out the bloodline because of Reasons.

So he's a more or less a nerd who's likely been blackmailed into working for the org with "come do this or we'll expose your family/girlfriend/everyone" and/or "this is for the greater good!" and is now the Science Dude.

Daimon Hellstrom | Marvel | OTA

[hellstorm]

[Do we get to be awesome noir supernatural detectives yet? Bitch put on your trenchcoat.]

[alwayslookthisgood]

[Trenchcoat, no shirt. We ready to do business?]

nuada silverlance | hellboy

[warfaring]

[former villain turned reluctant ally. no way this could go sideways at all.]

Action - Escort Mission

[leekspins]

[They called the two of them a 'sword and shield.' She's still kind of on a high from that. Orihime was starting to fear that her healing powers were going to be the only thing she was needed to use, and that she'd never get out on a REAL mission. Thankfully, her defensive capabilities haven't been missed, so here they are! Escorting the mayor!]

[...As soon as the mayor finishes his speech, anyway. Until then, Nuada and Orihime are just waiting outside next to the limousine. Waiting. Quietly waiting.]

[She glances up at her taller, paler companion. Others might be uneasy with him joining the team, but she's okay with it. Maybe he just needs to feel welcome and wanted. Doesn't everyone want that in some degree? She'll try to jog a conversation. They might wind up as friends, after all.]

Do you think we'll run into any trouble tonight?

John Cooper | Agent of Hel series

[emotioneater]

[Immortal supernatural teenaged ghoul who can't be killed by anything and eats emotions to survive. A bit mouthy but he works well with others. Seen it all, so absolutely nothing will surprise him anymore.]

zed martin ( constantine )

[artista]

( tactile psychic, experience with the occult - even if she isn't magical. her dad is horrible and the leader of a horrible cult so she has seen some things. )

Olivia "Liv" Moore | iZombie

[livable]

[ ooc: Just your average, run-of-the-mill zombie assistant mortician working for the police department who occasionally sees the memories and a couple of other fun things of brains she eats. Claims to be psychic to cover up the 10bpm her heart's putting out and explain how she knows things only dead people knew. Ridiculously pale. ]

[kittysdragon]

[ooc: Haven't seen iZombie yet but I do like the sound of this character, so maybe she and Lockheed cross paths. He probably brings the brawn and will respect Liv as long as she doesn't try to eat his dragon brains.]

Feda Gandamak | OC

[notbloodylikely]

Feda has been on and off the team since he was seventeen, agreeing to work for them in exchange for not imprisoning him for his childhood history of bloody murders, which he now attempts to repent for. His recruitment was an unintended side effect of a mission to catch a rogue demonic entity that had incidentally cursed him. The details of his past are generally kept secret from fellow squad mates, and as friendly guy with a fun loving personality it's often a shock to learn it. He's usually pretty easy to get along with in short doses, but his irresponsible and somewhat juvenile attitude can grate over time.

In day to day and low danger missions he's typically unreliable, reckless and negligent, quite often more trouble than he's worth. But he has a well earned reputation for being excellent in an emergency. When not officially a part of operations, he's usually off doing the same sort of thing somewhere else anyway. His speciality is being nearly impossible to kill via regenerative powers and being able to return damage to whatever attacked him, though he has enhanced physical abilities (in particular a sense of smell off the scale) too. All this stems from his nature as a rare cousin species of human, a Mage whose magic is a part of his biology.

Amethyst | Steven Universe

[kindergartener]

( resident magic space rock who eats all the team snacks and sleeps on the couch during briefings. have fun, kids. )

Lockheed | Marvel (616)

[kittysdragon]

[Foot tall alien dragonoid, Lockheed is anything but a team mascot, bringing stealth, speed and strength and his natural dragon abilities in equal measure. About a hundred and sixty something years old, Lockheed is a former warrior of his species the Flock against the hated insectoid hive race the Brood. Suits stealth missions and aggressive combat equally.]

Damon Salvatore | TVD

[thisisjohnvarvatos]

[Vampire and morally ambiguous member of the crew. His strength, speed, senses, and healing are enhanced from a normal human. Blood can heal others from grave injuries (though don't die with it still in your system). This canon's vampires also come with the ability to control people's minds and even alter or erase their memories by looking in their eyes and commanding them.

Damon can also conjure fog. Y'know. If you need fog.]

Downtime

[leekspins]

Ooohhhhhhhh nooooooooooooo.

[Orihime slowly inches into view, just barely next to the doorframe of the kitchen, holding a large headlamp in her hands. She's not looking at Damon, but. Come on. There's no one else there. And her attempts at being subtle are laughable.]

I need to test out this fog-piercing headlamp, but when will we get a foggy night? It just can't be predicted! If only there were fog around here.

[IF ONLY. ...Okay, so it's a pitiful excuse to see the fog-summoning powers firsthand, but as the newest (and probably youngest) member of the team, she's been dying to see everyone else's powers in action, and that includes fog conjuration.]

Kitty Pryde || X-men films with a splash of comic canon || ota

[phasing_cat]

[She's a teenage mutant who can walk through walls - actually, the can phase through anything except electronics and adamantium. She's one of the good guys and looking to kick some ass and save some innocents.]

Orihime Inoue | Bleach | F/M for ships, OTA otherwise

[leekspins]

Luke Talbot | Monster Force (Universal Horror) | OTA

[awolfandaman]

[Grandson of The Wolfman. On a team of college students who wear Iron Man-esque armor suits and hunt monsters. From the not too distant future (2020), but can hand-wave, or AU, or time travel, or whatever.]

Caster | Fate/Extra

[blessingsofamaterasu]

(( An avatar of a goddess depowered and in the form of a foxwoman, as well as capable using curses and magic. Usually with a partner to help out with tactics and mutual benefits of survival. ))

Zero | Mega Man X

[0mavericks_given]

(( A closed quarter specialist reploid Maverick Hunter that makes it his mission to eliminate all rogue robots aka Mavericks and other threats that may cause harm to humans and other reploids. May also be carrying a virus that causes said mavericks. ))
