[X] My Assistant

[Mercutio3]

Okay, accepted. I'm hoping that we could get ooone more person (at least) before we start. Quo said she was coming back, but then ended up only being back for a day... I wonder what happened?

Well, I hope somebody joins soon.

[flamefiends]

How about, if someone new hasn't signed up in a week, I'll make another Y2K character and then we start? This way, there's less room for this RP to die

[Mercutio3]

Sounds good. I've been considering a second character myself. We'll start no later than the 15th (one week since the first post), and if somebody else signs up before then, awesome- we'll start as soon as I accept them.

[Bonnie Clyde]

Character's Name: Xaia Jumich (Zay-uh Jew-mitch is how it is pronounced)

Nickname(s): Xaia

Gender: Female

Age: 14

Location: Paradise, California.

Personality: She used to be nice, but she turned somewhat dark after years of being ignored, bullied, and neglected. She keeps to herself and is very possessive. She stays away from public places. Sometimes, if someone makes her mad enough, she gets violent (fist-fighting mainly, she resorts to other stuff is she feels like someone will try to really hurt her or kill her). She sometimes becomes quite curious about stuff and likes to investigate anything unusual. However, she always keeps the information she finds to herself. She also likes nature and being outside. She enjoys doing things that have to do with electronic devices, such as playing games and listening to music. She's nice to people that help her and is nice to her. She's also sarcastic sometimes.

History: Her parents died (in a way unknown to her) when she was still quite young and was passed around in foster home by foster home. She was neglected in each foster home she was in and her foster brothers and sisters she had were always mean to her. Since she moved a lot, she never became good at getting friends (but this is also because nobody was ever nice to her). She eventually ran away when she was 10 and survived by thieving. She also forged several things (like a driver's license and stuff) to make her appear to be an adult, this has helped her get a small place to live and a motorcycle (also some jobs to pay for this stuff).

Appearance: She has black hair and green eyes. She usually wears a black hoodie with dark blue in certain spots on it. Her pants are the same colors and design. Her shoes have the same colors, but a different design. She's 96 pounds and is 5 feet and 7 inches tall.

Type 2 Abilities: People instinctively dislike her a lot, slightly decreased strength and slightly increased speed, increased sight, empathy towards plants, and high tolerance to cold.

Type 3 Ability: Telekinesis & mind reader. She doesn't use this power that often, however, at least in extreme ways (she gets very worn out if she uses her powers in extreme ways). She mainly uses it to carry things if she has too much to carry or to use her telekinesis to bring things to her while she's doing something (like bringing soda to her while she's playing video games). Her mind reading ability is less often used, and she usually only uses it if she thinks someone is up to something.

Whose inbox are we going to spam if s/he joins?: The Shadow.

Other: She's not as smart as others her age in things that are normally taught in school, but she has very good computer skills and is great at hacking into stuff.



Edited because I forgot to add height and stuff.

Wooh yay! I'll start the thread soon. Accepted!

EDIT: (<-The thread)

@Bonnie Clyde: Uh, it's not like it's a big deal or anything like that, but 96 pounds for 5'7 is extreeeemely skinny. Like... WAY underweight. It's not like it matters much to the RP or anything, just... yeah. I'm only a few inches taller than that, but uh I am nowhere close to 96 pounds XP If that's what you were going for, I eat my words.

Well, I looked up regular heights and weights for 14-year-old girls, and I just made her weight a little less and her height a little taller. She just doesn't have much muscle and has a high metabolism, making her weigh less (I guess).

[Mercutio3]

Makes sense, I see how you got those numbers. Her BMI does fall under "Very Severely Underweight," though. Like I said, not a big deal for the purpose of the RP.

[flamefiends]

SHE'S A STICK! Clyde, I'm thin at 4 feet 11 and 108 pounds. This girl is WAY too skinny. If you want thin, 130 pounds should be fine.

[Mercutio3]

^Um, yeah. She's at the point where her ribs would be showing and it would physically affect her in a largely negative way. Like, she'd have a huge disadvantage in fights. Her muscles would be unbelievably weak. She wouldn't be able to move as fast, and she wouldn't be strong at all. So...

@Shadow: You put the location as Texas, but then in the history said she's now in Arizona? So, um, I'm going to stick with Arizona (at least I've been there once before??) as Presea's location.

[flamefiends]

And actually, 130 is probably a stretch. She'd probably be better off with being at least 145 pounds.

[The Shadow]

nononononononnononononono

She was BORN in Texas. But she now resides in Arizona.

[Mercutio3]

Yeah, that's what I guessed. You just put Texas as her location.

EDIT: Okay so, I'm going to be at a no-tech camp for a week (this Sunday until Saturday). I feel really bad about having to leave for a week so soon after start, and I'm trying to think of things to do that would excuse my absence but still let you guys RP without me. I'm thinking Braxio could be captured, and I could type up posts in advance about Braxio's solo journey, then send them to one of you and ask you to post each one on a specific day so Braxio doesn't die. Of course, one of you would have to be willing, and it's a bit of a responsibility, and I don't want to force something like that onto anyone. That would explain my absence, but the problem still stands that you all would need to have something for your characters to actively work towards/do during the next week. If any of you have brilliant ideas, now is a great time.

Character's Name: Taren Garedner
Nickname(s): TG
Gender: M
Age: 14
Location: Kansas City, Missouri
Personality: Taren's always been a gamer, his favorite being Sonic the Hedgehog. He also loves adventure, and is incredibly social and imaginative, his imagination helping with his building habit. He is incredibly helpful when it comes to cheering people up.
History: He lived a fairly normal life, aside from going into the woods each weekend. He'd written tales of heroes with the powers he didn't have yet, and wondered what it would be like to have those powers. That all became real when he was redirected...
Appearance: Almost looks like a spitting image of John Egbert. Brown hair, brown eyes, and a wristlet with a red stone inside. Is 5'9" and tends to wear gray gloves with one spike on the back of each.
Type 2 Abilities: 1, 2, 1, 2, and 1
Type 3 Ability: Pyrokinesis (Can control flames, basically just the ability to create flames out of thin air. After he uses it for 5 minutes, he must recharge for 7 minutes. If that's not allowed I can change it. )
Whose inbox are we going to spam if s/he joins?: Idk who I want it to happen to... Just someone random.
Other: Taren's quite the amateur inventor. He's also a bit of an otaku, so watch out for his inspired inventions!

I would love to accept you, but I have to ask you to read those rules one more time.

His Type 3 ability is fine, but can you go a little more in-detail? Like, he can physically control flames, but how far does that go? Can he just shoot fireballs, or can he control temperature, size, etc of fire? Also, what would the restrictions and limitations be? (It would undoubtedly drain his energy, but anything else?)

Kayrinda's character Viivi's sign up is a good example of somebody who chose their own power:

Type 2 Abilities: ~People instinctively like you a lot ~Slightly decreased strength and slightly increased speed ~Increased hearing ~Empathy towards plants ~High tolerance to cold
Type 3 Ability: Light Manipulation
Limitations: Viivi needs a source of light - even electric goes, but she prefers sunlight. Using her powers makes her tired and hungry over time, but she can restore herself by sleeping and eating. She might also get hurt by her own attacks and she needs to stay focused all the time while using her powers, or she might release too much power. If she uses too much, her body may eventually burst to flames (but that is only when she has totally used all of her energy to the last drop).

No, you don't have to provide a link (in fact, for your character's power, I'd sort of prefer you didn't), the example is more for just her good description of the restrictions.

Thanks for signing up and reading this!

EDIT: I glanced at your profile and you are exactly 4 days older than me

Fixed.

[Mercutio3]

Can control flames, basically just the ability to create flames out of thin air. After he uses it for 5 minutes, he must recharge for 7 minutes. If that's not allowed I can change it.

Erm, you're not quite there. If you want a better idea of some fair limitations, I again redirect you to Viivi's limitations, as well as Braxio's limitations, Melody's limitations, and an unclaimed power with limitations. The only power without proper limitations is Insomnia, and that's only because it's not... arealpower... and it has really no use in fighting and such except that this character doesn't get tired and can keep guard well and such. Also, it has the built-in drawbacks of no dreams and excessive boredom. Here are said limitations:

TYPE 3~PICK ONE OVERALL
Healing~ Any and every wound, illness, or other medical problem on self or others can be healed. Drains energy greatly. A full body heal can take up to a few days to recharge from, while healing a papercut will take about 45 minutes to recharge from. Cannot bring back the dead.
Frikkin' Immortal- Actually, "invulnerable" would be more accurate, but that doesn't sound as cool. Every time you die, you pop back up after an hour or so. However, your nerves are much more sensitive, meaning that you are much, much more sensitive towards pain. And of course, you feel pain every time you die.
Italics=taken

Type 3 Ability: Light Manipulation
Limitations: Viivi needs a source of light - even electric goes, but she prefers sunlight. Using her powers makes her tired and hungry over time, but she can restore herself by sleeping and eating. She might also get hurt by her own attacks and she needs to stay focused all the time while using her powers, or she might release too much power. If she uses too much, her body may eventually burst to flames (but that is only when she has totally used all of her energy to the last drop).

Type 3 Ability: Raising the dead. It drains his energy completely, and afterwards he needs a 12 hour recovery period consisting of excessive eating and sleep. During said recovery period, he is also in an excruciating amount of pain that goes away as time goes on. It's really not a pretty time. (These are the effects when he preforms revival on humans... on smaller sized beings, the effects are much lesser.) As stated in the first post, the creature being revived must have a present and willing body and soul, and a sacrifice is needed. Meaning, if the dead want to stay dead, revival is impossible.

[flamefiends]

Oh, did I give you a cold? I'm sorry... We should get this cough we have checked out.

[Mercutio3]

Yes, we should... let's see if iag215 can do something about it once he is back online.

Also, speaking of limitations, I should have stressed how tired/sore/hungry Braxio would have been after those flies. He probably would be feeling better at this point (or like by the morning of the plane trip?) but up until then he would've felt pretty bleh. Sorry guys.

[flamefiends]

I forgive you. Was Melody's weakened state good enough? I need to know these things.
