Roleplay

Its been a long time but here is a new RP :D

Background:

As far back as anyone can remember, this world has been cursed. Massive, horrid and twisted monstrosities known as the Triggered have raged across this world. They know nothing but destruction and they bring nothing but death. Their twisted bodies only bring hatred and destruction towards everything around them and bring ruin to this world. No one appears to know much about them or where they came from.

Thankfully, humans also have a way to fight against these creatures. And those are the beings called 'Gifted'. Humans who through an 'Event' of some kind gain powers or abilities. This Event can be anything, ranging from being scared, shocked, traumatized, or even extremely pleased (just an emotion). And this event to create the abilities in the human will be born sometime in their teen years (they must be at least 13). As soon as a 'Gifted' is discovered they are taken from their home and families and trained by others to defend the world against the 'Triggered.' And they are expected to do so until their last breath.


Your character is a recently born 'Gifted", and has just been taken away from the place they called home. They are now in a secluded facility being taught how to fight the Triggered.



RULES:

1. Please post more than a one liner. Typically I like at least a paragraph, more if you can give it. i don't expect ridiculous length, just something that other characters can interact with.
2. Your character's ability must have something to do with the 'event' which made their powers appear. Example: Your character was bullied as a kid and stuffed into a locker, and their resulting panic caused their event to occur. This event resulted in the kid gaining the power to fold and unfold themselves into a small palm-sized box.
3. The stronger your character's ability, the more powerful and influential the event was. That being said, no overpowered abilities will be allowed. (i'm going by power at a cost here)
4. No godmodding without permission from the other person. if caught godmodding your post will be ignored.
5. Romance is allowed, but it must be something that is accepted by both parties involved.
6. I'm subbed, and hopefully you will sub too so we don't end up pinging each other twice. there will also be an OOC thread and and RP thread i will create later.
7. For now, two characters per person if you really want. (i will have a few more than this, though most of them will be teachers and not involved heavily with the interactions between the trainees)
8. Not everyone can become a gifted.
9. For now, i think about six slots will be open, but if this gains enough interest i will open up more.
10. I am very picky about powers, remember they must have a substantial weakness or drawback. And there will be no mindreading due to plot ^>^

Name: Angela Smith

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance: Angela is a cute young girl with smooth, curly white-blonde hair which ends at about her chin. She keeps her angled bangs clipped back with a small silver clip with a tiny pastel blue flower on the very edge. She has wide, rounded steely-grey eyes, an upturned button-like nose, and small but full lips. She likes to wear thick layers of mascara and applies a Smokey eye frequently, as well as various colored and flavored lipgloss. As clothing goes, she enjoys to wear breezy, full shirts and skirts in soft and smooth pastels. She has very soft, very subtle curves which go mostly un-noticed thanks to her slightly overly muscled upper arms, and the fact that both of her legs just kind of stop mid-thigh. Angela isn't caught dead without "Gary" her sentient companion whom normally takes the form of a wheelchair for her convenience. if someone gets close enough, they will be able to see the connection point where "Gary" is connected to Angela, a small silvery mark which sprouts from a spot on her lower back.

Personality: Angela is an upbeat, bubbly girl. She always has a friendly smile, or a kind word to say to those around her. She smiles almost constantly, and will occasionally randomly burst into song for no reason. She can be a bit on the silly and childish side, skilled at making horrible puns and jokes mostly at her own expense. She seems to love making others laugh. While Angela goes out of her way to help others, she never will ask for help herself, to the point where she sometimes can be a bit stubborn and pigheaded. She will get mad at people who coddle her or try to treat her differently, and even will snap or be rude to them. After she snaps and her anger is gone, Angela will be right back to her sweet self, unable to keep a grudge.

Backstory: Angela is an only child, with a mother and father who both work in business so they were gone quite frequently. For the first four years of her life, Angela was raised by a babysitter. Until one day, she accidentally called the babysitter 'mom' right in front of her mother. it had been an accident, a freudian slip of the tongue. After this day, she never saw that babysitter again. And her mother and father talked it over, and her father elected to quit his job so he could raise Angela. As a result, Angela became extremely close with her father and slightly alienated from her mother.

her father, a bit unused to having so much free time, took some flight lessons and picked up the abillity to fly a plane. he even started taking Angela for little joy rides after he became fully certified and confident in his abilities. This actually caused Angela to want to be a pilot.

They were just in taxi, waiting to take off from the little airport, when a bus careened through the fence and slammed rather violently into the plane.

Angela's fear, shock, and the subsequent Trauma were so great that they caused her Event. When she came to, the plane and bus had fuzed together in some kind of weird amalgamate of twisted metal and pressed its self into her back.

Taken to the hospital after her emergency, her legs were far too crushed to be saved and she had to get them amputated. Not long after this, her abiities were revealed in the form of a rather angry palm sized humanoid Gary throwing hospital food at a nurse. As soon as she was cleared by the doctor to leave the hospital, Angela was taken away from her home and family to serve as A 'Gifted".


Powers:
GARY:
Gary is a strange, sentient hunk of unidentifiable metal and electronics who shares a mental and physical bond with Angela. Gary can compress its body into the size of a quarter and expand its body into its full size, which is about the size of one person jet. Gary can also portray other technology, most commonly found acting as a wheelchair for Angela, or transforming into robotic legs when she needs to fight, run, or walk. Gary can even access the internet. Gary gifts Angela with inhuman speed and reflexes while acting as her legs. (however, Angela is still a human as it grants her the inhuman speed, and Gary has to watch how fast he accelerates or he can break her bones. Or even incapacitate her by causing her to get vertigo, or knocking her out). Gary can also cover Angela in thick, metallic armor, act as a shield, or turn into a weapon for her to use, like a giant cannon, or a sword. Though Gary and Angela share a mental and Physical connection, Gary still has a mind of its own. While Angela may request things from it, Gary may decide to ignore her, or completely do its own thing. And any pain or damage Gary might receive is felt by Angela and Vice versa. The most important thing of note is that Gary is just metal and electronics, which means water or rain getting inside its circuits makes it short out, which in turn puts Angela out of commission. It can also rust or become corroded, and occasionally needs tune ups and replacement parts. Gary also needs to be charged every night while Angela sleeps.



___________


Name: Maximus Galanis (Max)

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearance: Max is a short (5'2") wide and plump young boy with dark skin, and thick, poofy sheep-like dark hair which curls up on his head in a mock afro. He has droopy dark eyes, a flat nose, and lips which seem to slump down slightly as if he's constantly pouting. His chin has the faint beginnings of a scraggly beard which is just starting to grow. As his body goes, he's more wide than tall. He can probably best be described as 'beefy' or 'thick'. Max prefers to wear sweatpants, or pajama pants, has a weird thing about wearing sandals all year long (yes even in winter, he will wear them with socks), and wears dark solid t-shirts, usually in black. If he manages to get cold, he will slap on an oversized hoodie with a fluffy inside.

Personality: Max is very mature, calm, cool, and collected. He is almost always serious and stoic, though he does have his own dry and slightly strangled sense of humor. He gets easily irritated with those who don't take things seriously. Max is also deeply respectful of others. He's not likely to tell someone he doesn't like them or raise a hand to them unless they really push him to the brink. He can, at times be a bit rude.. not because he means to, but because he has a bit of trouble sometimes understanding where others are coming from. Despite his stoic and serious nature, he does know how to relax and unwind.

Backstory: Max was actually fairly well liked at his school as a kid, and even participated as a linebacker in his school's football team. he's actually pretty skilled at tackling people as a result, and a lot stronger than he looks. He also got almost straight A's in school, though he seemed to struggle with English for some reason.

Max actually got his powers when he was out with his friends tossing around a football. One of his friends overthrew the ball and Max went into the woods to get it. Once inside, he was set upon by a very aggressive, very ornery bird who dive bombed him in an attempt to get him away from her nest. The fear he felt triggered his event, causing Max to gain the status of "Gifted."

He was a bit bitter when he had to leave home, but is determined to make the best of it.

Powers: Bird Control: he has utter and complete control of birds. he can also view the world through their eyes, (a literal bird's eye view) and hear what they hear, however the signals can come in garbled and confusing at times. He can seemingly control an unlimited flock of birds, however, his control is limited to about 300 feet around him in all directions. Bigger and more predatory birds are a bit more difficult for him to control. As the birds are just that.. birds.. they can only move as fast as birds, and can be killed as easily as birds. he can't really actively turn this ability off all the way, meaning that he always has a weird knowledge of where every bird is located within his radius.

_____

Name: Kit Manolo

Age: 47

Gender: Genderneutral (they/them)

Appearance: Kit is a tall, narrow bean pole of a person, standing at 6'9". They have long legs and arms which make them seem simultaneously awkward and graceful. Their head is mounted with soft, silvery-grey hair and silvery grey eyebrows which lead down into narrow eyes. One of their eyes is a deep, oceanic blue, and the other is milky white and unseeing. They have a rather impressive scar which cuts across the right side of his face, right across his milky white eye and down to his upper lip. They also have a burn mark on their upper right arm, are missing the index and middle finger of their right hand, and have an array of what looks like odd scratch marks which mar up their lower left arm. if someone manages to get them to wear shorts, they have what seems to be a human bite mark on their lower thigh.

Personality: Kit is actually a friendly, and slightly paternal person who has a great need to protect those they train with all of their strength. However, as a trainer, they can be harsh, cruel and unfeeling. They believe fully that a person must be pushed to the brink to become a good warrior. They are into tough love when it comes to training, though they will sit down and have a heart to heart with any of their students who might be experiencing difficulties. They don't take anyone's crap and will not put up with insubordination or those who try and go off on their own.

Backstory: Kit has had a long life compared to most Gifted. They been lucky and skilled enough to survive wave after wave of Triggered. Their event was a long time ago, and actually from when they were pushed through a first story window when roughousing with their cousin. Their actual event was triggered by their own laughter as they lay in the snow outside and their cousin got yelled at for pushing them through the window.

Not long after this event, they were taken away and trained. And after years of fighting, they have come full circle to train others.


Powers: Glass manipulation: This ability allows Kit to manipulate glass as they see fit. They can break it easily, though they lack the ability to repair said glass once it has broken. They are capable of turning other objects into glass by physically touching them. However, this turn is not permanent, and the person is completely aware the whole time they are turned. They can actively break through the glass through sheer will, the larger the item, the quicker the glass prison will fade. Kit can technically speaking, turn themselves into glass and still be able to move, though they don't ever see this as necessary or useful.


NPCS:

1. Kevin: A cook who works for the facility with the ability to change the way anything tastes. So he can make a potato taste like a tomato, or a rock taste like a croissant. however, this is only the external taste, he can't actually make the item edible. As such, his only use is as a cook.

2. Olivia: A woman who can turn into a bus. All damage she takes in bus form is then transferred to her human self. She has to consume food and gasoline to keep herself running. Without it, she can actually die.

((Yo! Looks great! This will be a WIP for a bit lol))

Name: Alister Thomson

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance:
While he isn't the most muscular guy, Alister has just enough muscle to keep him from looking too lanky with him being 6'2" and all. Like he is muscular enough to help you move furniture around with no problem but he definitely doesn't look like he is going to the gym every day to lift weights. As he does tend to spend a fair amount of time inside, his skin isn't quite pale but he would probably burn if he was out in the sun for too awfully long without any sunscreen or anything. Born with unruly hair, even though he keeps his sandy blond hair pretty short, it manages to look charmingly messy no matter how much he tries. No amount of hair gel or various other hair products have any effect on it, as he has tried just about anything he can find but his hair is just too powerful. Cursed with both messy hair and horrible vision, a pair of thick, square-framed glasses sit in front of his chocolatey brown eyes. He has a number of piercings; three small, black loop-like earring on his left ear and two on his right, as well as a similar one on one side of his nose. As for clothing, he likes to show off his collection of ghost tour t-shirts by wearing them around, along with a pair of jeans and a pair of sturdy, leather boots that show just how often he wears them. He does wear a silver ring on his right ring finger. It's a simple band with a small cross imprinted into it. Now, he's not all that religious but he has seen enough spooky movies and TV shows to know having a cross and a bit of silver never hurt, just in case.

Personality:
Someone with rather uncommon and generally considered to be odd interests, Alister loves anything creepy and supernatural. Tarantulas? He thinks they are cute. Contacting spirits? He's game. Go on that ghost tour he has been on fifteen times? You bet your left shoe he's in! He just has always had a fascination with the paranormal for some reason. Heck, his parents couldn't care less about it, so he definitely didn't get it from them. The thing is, he isn't in it for the adrenaline since he really doesn't get scared by any of it. It's kind of like someone studying a tiger out in the wild, the right amount of caution is used but you have a great time being around something you really are interested in. He will love to talk about spooky stuff with anyone who will listen, not to mention watch endless hours of scary movies with them even though he has probably seen most of them multiple times. Aside from liking spooky things, Alister is a pretty friendly guy, although some people are put off just how up front he is about liking spooky things. One thing he is definitely not going to do is change himself to suit someone else because that would just make him miserable and they wouldn't be real friends. No, he'd rather have no friends and be his quirky self than be miserable and have friends. For those friends he does make, Alister is nearly inseparable from them.

Backstory:

Powers:
His ability allows him to control the production of his cells as well as allow him to produce stem cells whenever he wishes. That's only the beginning of his ability, though. He can bundle the stem cells together in his palms and replicate his skin cells until they form a spherical mass which then splits from his body. The bundle of stem cells contained within skin cells can then be cast away. He can then manipulate it into any shape and size he imagines to create monstrous creatures that do his fighting for him. These creatures are not sentient and can only act according to his will, if he is rendered unconscious then they will no longer move. However, this is not an ability that one can just use on the spot. It takes a lot of time and energy to create a powerful monster, so he really can't fight unless he has had enough time to prepare as powerful monster can take days to properly create. The monsters aren't like him, so they can be killed. Since they are technically alive, they can be burnt, blades can hurt them, they need to breath, and so on. They just tend to be very strong, fast, have some sort of sharp teeth or claws, or some combination of these. If he wants to be rid of his creations he can trigger apoptosis within the cells to kill them.

@SStickperson


Unfortunately, I am going to have to say no to the character you created. The power is a bit confusing (the healing bit doesn't really fit with everything else, and the self harm bit is a bit inappropriate for FR's rules and standards involving roleplay). Not to mention, it seems that your guy would be impossible to defeat considering that the more you hurt him, the more powerful he becomes.

I'd be happy for you to join the RP if you change up the powers, and i'll look forward to seeing your girl character as well ^>^

@Draconequis

Okay! I'll work on it and see what I can come up with! Thanks! :)

@EmeraldJubilee

Hm i really like your character so far, and having her have the ability related to a feeling is great actually, its exactly what i had hoped some people would do so i'm glad you did it ^>^

Before i can accept 100 percent, i do need a bit more information about her powers? I'm totally fine with right now her story wise having no idea what the full extent of her powers are (In fact I encourage it), but for the RP's purposes I do need to know your plans with her abilities in the future ^>^ You can PM me it if you want :D

@nautilidaes

heyo, thanks for the interest in my rp.

Sorry but i am going to deny the character you have submitted.

Having an ability like that which can instantly kill and deafen someone is overpowered.

I also had a few minor issues with the backstory, as the powers a person gets are not received until they are in their teens (Which means Sam would have had to be at least thirteen). Not only that, but I don't really understand why random boys started beating Sam up? If you could please elaborate to their reasoning?
