y'all ready to go plus ultra?

Backstory
In a world where 90% of the population has some power (called a "talent"), you're the cream of the crop. You're the pro heroes that hold off swarms of scumbags and serve as symbols of hope. One day, after following a tip that, in hindsight, was a little sketchy, you and many other pro heroes were trapped in a fake city by a group of villains. It's your job to beat the everloving daylights out of those villains and escape with as many alive as possible.

Game
The objective is simple: get out alive, with as few casualties as possible. Each of the 7 villains has a device that, when destroyed, removes one layer of the 7-layer forcefield keeping y'all in the city. When you defeat a villain in battle, they'll be immobilized for the rest of the game (or dead, depending on how the battle went.) The game can turn out in 4 ways:

Perfect victory: No players are killed. (If the only deaths are a result of modkilling due to afk, this will also be achieved.)

Victory: over 75% of players survive, rounded up.

Pyrrhic victory: under 75% of players survive, but the living players escape the city.

Defeat: Over half of the players die.

Total defeat: All players are dead.

Villains
The villains are:

Needle: Can fire needles from a bundle of 12 barrels on the back of each hand. Doesn't seem to run out.

Wasteman: Creates and manipulates a foul-smelling, greasy liquid that is highly flammable and fairly acidic.

Cloth Bomb: Carries around a bag full of a special fabric that he can manipulate on a moleculor level, allowing him to harden it or make it explode. His clothing is made of that same fabric.

TailShock: Has a prehensile tail that carries an electrical charge. Skilled in hand-to-hand combat.

Vibration: Can send high-power vibrations through the air. The vibrations are weaker the further they get from Vibration, but at point blank they're powerful enough to break bones.

Infi-Shooter: Can create bullets out of nothing. Carries a specially-designed pistol that allows him to make bullets and place them directly into the chamber, making his ammo limitless.

Mastermind: Hyperintelligence seems to be his talent. He orchestrated this whole thing. Uses a flamethrower capable of firing at high ranges, about 30 small blades (shaped like sharkteeth) which can be manipulated by Mastermind, a sidearm that fires clusters of small explosives, and another sidearm which fires white-hot metal nets. The most dangerous of the villains.

Rules
Even though you're not competing, threadpeaking is still cheating.

Every 48 hours, you'll get bumped for inactivity. If you don't make an action 24 hours after that, I'll kill you.

All characters must be human. No characters may be a pre-existing character.

Sometimes, the dice may screw you. If that happens, don't be salty.

Have fun!
