Raven City [OOC]

[Pas]

Please note the while these rule are to be enforced if blatantly ignored I myself will not doom you to the pitt of hell for misspelling were and where infrequently, so chill, do your best and have fun.
1. You must care enough about your roleplay to use proper spelling and grammar.
2. Post at least a full paragraph or two.
3. NO one liners.
4. You want to enjoy at least a moderate amount of character development and depth.
5. Keep out-of-character (OOC) chatter in your OOC thread. Minimal OOC questions/comments along with your roleplaying posts is acceptable, but OOC-only posting degrades the roleplaying environment for everyone.
6. You must maintain good roleplay etiquette which includes (but isn't limited to) allowing other roleplay participants to contribute to the story.
7. No power playing. All Powers and how they can be used are subject to the GMs will, so be smart and don't post obvious power-play-powers such as time control, and mind control. We as the GM's reserve the right to ban any powers we find too powerful. All players will start at a equal power level.
8. No god-modding.
9. No auto-hitting other players, whether or not they were hit by an attack is up to them but we expect all players to continue combat in a intelligent and reasonable manner.

Ok, so we all know and love them please keep to the standard so we can all have a casual time.

THE CITY:





Map to be provided.


Current Events:

It has been one month since the chemical spill event and while the the population has been greatly deminished new social issues have come to the fore, how to deal with the reality of super powers. The Government say they have the answer, a new policy is about to be introduced to Raven City one of containment and/or neutralization, that includes citizens with any lingering traces of exposure and especially the super powered. High security check points established and operated by charities have been providing the containment area with basic nessesities such as food, medicine, clean water, and clothing but many are begining to lose interest and resourses are running dry. Entry into the security compounds is no longer guaranteed as the government has laid plans to requisition the facilities and moderate the access of citizens, photographic identification must now be provided as well as the completion of exposure tests and power registration, only then may a citizen enter and recieve aid. These desperate measures will cause a new brand of criminal to be created, the outcast.

I hate to be first because I feel like I am going to screw something up but here is my CS.

Appearance:

Arron is white and stand at 5'9" with a strong atheltic build. His hair is cut short and is usually spiked up, weither from jell or sweat depends on the moment. Before the chemical incedent his hair was brown but has now turned blonde. His eyes have also turned from steel gray to a dark red.
clothing: Most of the time he wears a black leather jacket with a white undershirt, a pair of worn jeans, a pair of running sneakers, and a black double strap backpack. Oh, and you can't forget the sunglasses

Name: Arron Smith

Age: 20

Power: He is able to create, control fire, and is immune to it. So far the limitations to his power are that he can only make a decent sized fireball, a small flame barriar, and set a small area ablaze. His fire is produced from his body, mostly his hands, and is controlled by the over-all amount of energy in his body. The amount of area that he can set ablaze is roughly around 8 meters or 26 feet, though it is harder to maintain control the larger the area gets so he usually keeps it small scale. When he leaves the area the power from the fire leaves, forcing the fire to go out. The amount of power he is able to put into the flames is affected by his mood. If he is happy the flames will be stronger and brighter, if he is sad they lose power and do not burn as well. If he becomes inraged or angryed the flames take on a black tint and burn extremely hot. Also he can not create fire if his hands are wet and the fire is harder to control when its raining or in an extremely moist area.

Personality: Arron is a loner and sticks mostly to himself, but he is a helpful person and will help most people that are in need if they truelly need it. He has a long fuse on his anger but once it reaches his end his anger is explosive.. literally.

History: Arron ended up in Raven City with his parents because he wasn't having much luck back in his current town and was always getting in trouble, so to keep from getting into trouble and ending up in jail he followed his parents. Once in Raven City he was able to get a job at the steel mill down by the docks. On the day the incedent happened Arron was working on the floor of the mill, one of the hottest places in the mill, controling one of the containers that held molten steel. He was doing his job as usual when something rocked the mill on its foundations causing him to end up on his ass. He looked in horror as the container tipped and spilled what it contained on him. He barely had time to scream as the liquid hit him.

He woke up on the mill floor naked but otherwise unharmed. The bodies of his co-workers littered the floor like a childs set of broken army men. He made his way to one of them and began to strip the man of his clothing. Once clothed he made his way out of the mill and started torward his parents house. The streets where were destoried and some of the bulidings had damage to them or had been knocked down completely. The worst was the bodies in the street, some dead from the chemical and some from other means.

He reached his parents house without incedent only to find them dead in their bed holding on to each other. He felt the hot tear run down his cheek and felt a scream buliding up in his chest. He tried to hold it in but it kept pushing against him. Finally, he closed his eyes and let it out, and the weirdest thing happened to him, halfway through the scream his body seemed to explode with power. He opened his eyes to see that the room had burst into flames and he could feel the flames move with his movements. He held out his hand and watched in amazement as the flames followed his hand. He closed his hand into a fist and all at once the flames went out.

Since then Arron has been moving from one place to another on the island, never staying in one spot to long from fear of what else is out there and that he may lose control again.

[Zarl21]

Appearance: Zach is 6 feet tall and has long brown hair. He is Caucasian but spends so much of his time outside that he has a dark farmers tan. His eyes are hazel, depending on the light they can look more green or brown. Zach usually wears jeans or sweatpants, a random T, and a maroon hoody. If it's hot out he wears the hoody around his waist. He usually goes barefoot though he owns a pair of sneakers he wears when he has to.

Name:Zach Hedland

Age:20

Power:Shape shifting-he has two different forms (besides his human one).
Wolf: He grows fur all over his body, his nails become claws and his senses are heightened to the level of a wolf. His stamina is increased, as are his reflexes and his strength.
Eagle: His arms turn into wings, his bones become lighter and easier to break and his feet turn into razor sharp talons. His body becomes covered in feathers and his eyesight is heightened to the level of an eagle. (Yes, he can fly but it exhausts him)


Personality: Zach is very talkative and charismatic. Though he is selfish and egotistical, he can pretend to care about what other people do or think. He is a very good planner and takes every possibility into account. Because of this he is very adaptable and doesn't freeze up if somethings doesn't go according to plan.

History:Zach's plan was to earn enough money to go to college by working at his friend's parents restaurant, but when the chemical came and they died he was out of luck. He was furious when he heard about the quarantine and for some reason he blacked out. When he came to he was in his apartment covered in fur. He started freaking out but in a few minutes the fur was gone. Over the next few months Zach learned how to activate his power without blacking out and discovered his eagle form as well.

[Cirka88]

Appearance: Roland has medium length, messy crimson hair, and bright orange eyes. He wears a black hooded long coat with white fur lining the hood and the wrist holes. He wears baggy black harem style pants that have orange X's on the outsides of the legs, and crimson grieves that come to just below his knees. Under his coat he wears a dark grey turtle neck that is sleeveless on the left side and short sleeved on the right. He has a pair of crossed belts that hang around his waist, over his coat.

Name: Roland Eads
Age: 27

Power: Energy Manipulation - Roland controls a neutral type of energy that has many different uses. Among the things possible with this energy are energy blasts, barriers, and making weapons out of it. The energy appears as a blueish silver, shimmering, opaque substance with a strange honey comb pattern in it. When condensed into things like barriers and weapons, it has the texture of glass (Though much more durable) and if broken, shatters just like glass. His power also acts as an extension of himself, and he can feel anything his energy does (With the exception of pain). He cannot, however, see or hear through his energy. He can only create his total body mass in energy at a time. If all his energy currently in use is equal to his body mass, he must remove some of it before he can create anything more.

Personality: Roland is easy going and friendly, if not a bit mad. He will go out of his way to be sociable and joke with people even if they clearly want nothing to do with him. He usually doesn't know when to shut up, and will, on occasion, cross the line without realizing it. He takes almost nothing seriously. However, he is capable of become extremely serious if crossed, and will not hesitate to kill people if they anger him enough.

History: Roland was the son of a wealthy family when the quarantine happened. His family survived, but in the chaos that ensued, gangs raided his house and killed his family. His house was burned down for nothing more than spite once the gang was finished taking anything they wanted from it, and Roland found himself on the street.

He has watched as the city fell more and more into chaos and lawlessness. In his despair and loneliness, he tore down who he once was and rebuilt himself. Driven part mad by all that had happened, he hid his true feelings behind a mask of carefree, blissful madness. Once he realized that he was developing powers, he made a decision. That the city was beyond salvation. He decided then and there that he would bring it all to an end, and set out to destroy Raven City.

He has since gathered a decent following and acts as the leader of a different kind of gang. One that fights against the unruly and dangerous gangs that plague the streets. Unknown, however, to even most of his gang, never mind the common survivors they protect, is that this is all a temporary solution until he can find a means to wipe Raven City, and all who inhabit it, off the map. Most people view him as a good person, if not a bit odd.

[Elation]

Appearance: She is 5'10 with a small frame. Her hair reached just to the bottom of her neck and is a very light blonde, bordering white, and her skin is rather pale in tone. Her eyes are somewhere between blue and grey. The only constant in her clothing a black hairband. A doodle.

Name: Elise Cayton

Age: 18? (subject to change)

Power: Telekinesis. She can lift, move, and throw items with her mind. Her targets are easily seen due to a red glow around them. More precise actions and movements require a lot of focus though. Weight of the items is also taken into account. She can hurl about a bunch of smaller items, but she couldn't chuck around around a bunch of cars. She is capable of lifting herself, but that usually takes a bit of focus to accomplish. On a certain level, the strength of it is controlled by emotion. The stronger she is feeling, the stronger her power is, but it will often lose precision in such times. The total weight limit of her powers is one ton.

Personality: She's rather reserved most of the time, doing her best to keep her thoughts and feelings to herself. In short, she bottles her emotions up. She has a very sarcastic side though and tends to be snarky and condescending as her feeling rise. Overall though she has a decent sense of priorities, and she can care for others.

History: There was little of note to say about Elise before the chemical leak and ensuing Quarantine struck. She was a student, and she did very well in classes, but that was about it. She was also an only child living with her mother and father.

When the disaster struck, her father died almost immediately fro exposure. Elise fell ill briefly, but there seemed to be no long term effects at the time. After a few days of hiding out in the cellar of their home, with nothing but some food and water they had beforehand. After a few days, when it seemed safe, the two came up and hesitantly stayed in the upper level of the house for a few days, before moving on to their neighbor's house where they met up with their surviving next door neighbor. They began to relax slightly as it seemed they were untouched by the violence.

The violence found them though, it found everyone in Rave City in one way or another. For them, it took the form of a red rampaging monster. The beast tore down the door with his bare hands and wrecked the house. He killed Elise's mother and neighbor. Right before her eyes, it ate their bodies, and it almost moved onto her. Backed into a corner, fueled by panic, fear, and anger she used her power to launch every item in the room at him, including some of the floorboards and walls. What the murderer didn't destroy, she did in a typhoon of broken glass, wood, and furniture. This held him off well enough for her to make an escape, using her powers to get out of his range.

Since then she's been alone, hiding. Her biggest fear is another confrontation with the killer, or anyone else. She has had rather little interaction with others, and has barely held a conversation with another person since the event. While the red monster is her biggest fear, a small part of her has been building up in a tumult of anger, to get revenge for her mother and to take out all her anger at the situation she's been in.

[Darcs]

Appearance: He has scruffy brown hair, and an oddly mature looking face, complete with stubble and dark eyes sunken in darker circles. He may not have a soldiers body, but he is fit, heavily underweight but fit, he makes up for the loss in bulk by wearing large brown hoodies and baggy gray pants, silky quiet clothes that are easy to move in and blend in.

Snowy is a Black Giant Schnauzer Some gray fabric in the place of a collar. One of his eyes was taken out completely by the disaster.

Name: Keith Smith

Age: 19

Power: Enhanced Awareness. He can see much clearer and further than even the most healthy human being, it is the most potent out of his advanced senses, even allowing him to see heat in total darkness... As a drawback, also when his eyes are closed. His smell is better than that of a dog, he can track specific smells and detect hormones, his smell is so sensitive he may actually be hurt by particularly strong smells. He can hear sound up to a mile away, and like smell, strong sound may hurt him. He can taste specific elements of a meal and even detect poison. His touch can allow him feel ripples, waves and bumps, things to sensitive for even insect to notice.

Personality: He's a pessimist with a dry sense of humor, he'll opt to be snide and sarcastic and only treat others polite if he respects them. He is the stealthy type and prefers solitude over company. He won't hesitate to leave a useless ally behind, but will truly take to you if you manage to prove yourself.

History: He had a cookie cutter suburban life before the disaster, he took advantage of his parents and figured they'd always be there. Now that they are gone he strives to keep their legacy alive as their only child. He has a Dog named Snowy that is, Ironically Jet Black, his parents gave to to him as a present and eventually the dog filled the role of a sibling and, love notwithstanding is the only remaining bond between him and his parents.

[TheStinger]

Appearance: James is about 5' 11" with blonde hair & brown eyes. He has half long hair & he usually wears it in slicked hair style. As for clothes he usually wears leather jackets, jeans, t-shirts & half-finger gloves.


Name: James Drake

Age: 28

Power: James is a technopath, which means that he has the ability to manipulate technology, like computers, machines of any kind or vehicles & he dosen't need to touch them in order to control them. All he requires is minimal concentration & a certain distance between him & the objects he wants to control. He can also use his mind to bypass any kind of computer security & gain acess to important computer data which he can store in his brain for various purposes. He can also open electronic locks, stop alarms or find out secret codes & passwords. Unfortunately for him when it comes to controling machines, since his powers are only at the beggining he can only control one at a time.

Personality: James can be pretty stubborn at times & this might be because he is a determined person that dosen't let anything interfere in the way of his goals & dosen't stop until he achieves them. He is also a very caring & passionate person. Despite his tough guy look he is exactly the opposite.

History: James had a relatively happy life. His father was a sucessfull lawyer & his mother was a doctor. Since they were both pretty busy James was staying with the neibourghs when his parent were at work. But aside from this minor inconvinience he had a happy childhood. James's father was a big fan of muscle cars & he passed on this passion to his son.

The day when the chemicals struck the town James lost both his parents but he survived however he quickly discovered that he was no longer normal. He later found out that he is a technopath when he started taking control of vehicles or when he was turning the lights off or opening the TV without lifting a finger. Content that this might not be enough in combat situations he started to train in Mixed Martial Arts & Muay Thai with the help of some new friends.

Rumor has it that the goverment found out about his technopathic powers & wants to use them for military applications or espionage. People hired by the goverment are looking for James in order to make him an offer that might turn his life arround, however that might prove to be a very hard task.
