Raven City [OOC]

[Darcs]

I gave my character a dog, seeing as he might need help until his powers improve. I wanna know if I can give the dog a mutation, or if I should Veto the idea entirely.

Appearance:

Spoiler

Jason stands tall at about 5.9 ft and has an average physique. He can usually be found wearing scrubs(that are supplied by the hospital he works in) and black sneakers. When going outside, he just puts on a green hoodie to keep him warm.

Name: Jason Harley

Age: 23

Power: Teleportation. Jason has the ability to teleport himself or even others to any location he can think of at the moment. Although it's been 2 weeks since he discovered his powers, it was only recently that he began to understand and control them. He is able to teleport himself, other people and even heavy objects like cars but he never actually tried to do that before.

Personality: Jason is generally a pretty cynical but trusting guy. He's independent, reliable, usually gets out of the way to help somene and is a pragmatist. However, he also harbours deep contempt towards the government and the police due to the current situation, and is also known to get jealous when he witnesses powers that he thinks are way more awesome than his.

History: Jason was born in Raven city and raised by his single father. Much of his life went on without any incidents or special circumstances. He always had an interest in biology and that combined with his general nature made him go to medical school. Usually he spent his days studying for exams and helped out in a local clinic or pharmacy for money and experience.
When the chemical spill happened he was out on the beach celebrating another end to his semester. Needless to say, with the poisons and chemicals spilled out into the water they all bathed in many fell sick and died. But while others died, Jason lived. The hospital wouldn't let him out of his bed for a week until they were sure that he was neither sick nor contagious. In the mess and panic that ensued he was released and sent out to assist other doctors due to his medical experience.
It wouldn't be for another week until he discovered his powers. Jason was going home from work when he was ambushed by a man trying to rob him. As the man was about to punch him, Jason panicked, but instead of getting a black eye, he suddenly found himself safe and sound inside his apartment…

With new sick and injured people raining into all the available medical facilites, Jason pretty much spends every waking moment in the hospital these days.

[Amorous]

Appearance:

Spoiler

Originally from Brazil, which explains her tan skin. Her hair is black, and her eyes a dark brown color. Shes' about 5'5" in height, being petite. What she is wearing is a gray hoodie that is somewhat small, showing her midriff, with her jean shorts and a black belt. Usually she'd be wearing sandals, but ever since the disease she is seen shoe-less most of the time until she can actually find some that are decent for running in. Often her hair may be in a messy bun, especially in stressful situations or situations where she has to run a lot.

Name: Eve Plez.
Age: 21.

Power: Shadow manipulation, the ability to shape, form, and create figures out of shadows and even darkness.The disease also made her eyes golden and look a bit feline, even though she has no cat-like abilities besides how nimble and fast she is.
Weaknesses to her shadow manipulation besides the fact it's a power she had just gotten, for now all she can do with the shadows is peel them from the ground and use them to her advantage. ( As a weapon, arm coverage, etc. But no figures or throwing them yet. ) They increase power in her attacks. But as far as she knows, this is the only ability she is capable of doing. It involves focus, which she has, but it also drains energy quickly because of the fact she is new for it. As she moves on, she'll most likely be able to control it better.

She is also great at hand-to-hand combat, being that she had trained for years in the past.

Personality: Silly, playful, and at times can seem a bit lost in situations. She isn't dumb, but just before she moved to Raven city she came from Brazil, therefore she was still adapting to her new life. It became even harder for her when the disease broke out. She is serious when she really needs to be, but most of the time, she doesn't like to be.

History: For 4 years of her life, Eve had lived in an orphanage in Brazil. She was an obnoxious child, always getting into trouble and beating up on other kids. She had no friends, which explains why most of the time she isn't too sociable. Since she had no friends, it was easy for her to examine ways to escape from the orphanage, and devise a plan. Afterwards, she found herself living in a box in a Favella. No one offered her money, and she often stole. Due to her speed that she figured out she had, it was easy for her to steal and get away with it. Life was hard, until she was found by a man who took her in, feeding her and teaching her various Martial arts styles. For the next 17 years of her life, she spent every day practicing and becoming very fit, until that is, her master finally came up with enough money for them to move to "Raven City."

When she got there, they lived in a decent home. She wasn't poor, nor was she rich. Her master worked a lot, but yet she always found the time to practice, especially since he had opened up a dojo. But when the disease came around, she had to watch her own first caregiver die right before her eyes. She didn't have anyone else to go to, since any friends she made had died and she didn't even know her parents.

left off some of her extras; too lazy to edit XD

Appearance: Build: Petite, only around 5'1". Slender frame. | Skin: A golden, almost glowing, tan; creates a strong contrast with her hair. | Hair: Shoulder-length. Lots of layers. White in color, with several very tiny, subtle purple streaks. Thick side-swept bangs. Usually worn straight. | Eyes: A rather odd, icy pale purple. | Extras: Tiny reverse-Monroe piercing. Bellybutton piercing. Tattoo: Scattered star shower across her collarbones.

Name: Arianna [Ari] Wynham

Age: 19

Power: Manipulation of weather. Wind, rain, storms, etc - she can control them, make them happen, use the effects to attack, i.e. create tornadoes. However, they are very easily controlled by her emotions - if she's angry, storms seem to start brewing. I'm willing to limit this if it seems like too strong a power. Controlling such a large element of nature requires a lot of strength and energy, and she is usually spent after using her power, depending on the severity. A little wind manipulation isn't too taxing, but a full-fledged storm could knock her out.

Power Limits: Ari is only able to control 2 weather components at a time, i.e. wind in combination with rain. If she were to add a tornado to the mix, she'd have to stop one of those, and often some manipulations go hand-in-hand, so she is limited in that sense as well. Heavy winds come with tornadoes anyway, so if she is using powers over the wind and the tornado itself, she can't add something like lightning to that mix. It is also not possible for her to immediately shut one weather component down and immediately start another; manipulating the weather takes a lot of concentration, energy, & strength, so if a plan of weather attack isn't working, she isn't able to change it at the drop of a hat. She has to stop altogether and rest her powers if she wants to try a different plan of attack. It also dampens her telepathy even more if she's used a lot of weather control. [Kind of bad examples - she'd be more likely to be using maybe lightning and a tornado, not wind and a tornado, but hopefully that helps.]

Personality: Ari has become a lot more reserved since moving in with her milder friend. She's a creative, free spirit, who has a bit of a wild side, but since coming to a new place, her rebelliousness has been tamed, as it's so different to what she is used to. She has also had to reign her emotions in with the development of her new power since the quarantine, since she has found out extreme emotions cause the weather to react to how she's feeling. This sometimes makes her come off as very distanced - very new for her.

History: She came to Raven City to stay with a friend, as her parents didn't agree with her lifestyle choices and had kicked her out. Frustrated of being so misunderstood by her parents [typical teen growing up right? ], she opted to move far away when they kicked her out. When the quarantine struck, several people became ill, and there were many deaths. Among the dead: her friend. Had she known the consequences of her move, she might have thought a bit more about such a life-altering decision, instead of being so spontaneous.

I gave my character a dog, seeing as he might need help until his powers improve. I wanna know if I can give the dog a mutation, or if I should Veto the idea entirely.

We're having problems balancing powers as is so please lay of adding complications, at least until Whowho and i have had time to digest and discuss with each player any issues or misunderstanding we may have with you power choices.

Two power rules I want players to take note of: 1. powers only work in the vacinity of the chemical spill so if you leave the contaminated area you affectively leave the game 2. No power can enter another contaminated vessel, so no extracting all the water from another players body or the air from their lungs.

limits will need to be expressed on your character sheets

To that end can everyone now express how much your character can lift with their powers, how much shadow, light, water, fire, weather can you affect at one time? We need to know so Whowho and I can start negotiating maximum power levels and attempt to balance players out because as the rules say.

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.

If you haven't read this please do so now. They are located on the first post of this thread, thank you.

You can take water now Celeste. We'll discuss details over PM when Whowho gets back. Logging-off.

[TheStinger]

Man i'm so undecided! OK I made the last changes to my character's power & history. I'm finally happy with how he looks.

[Celeste]

Name: Jezebel Rayne
Age: 22
Power: Jessie has the power over water and all its forms. She can turn water into ice, make air freezing cold. She can pull moisture out of the air and use it as a weapon as well. However, she can't pull a ton of water out of the air at once. More like a gallon. At most, she could only pull out two galleons, because that would suck up the moisture in the air rather fast. She liquify parts of her body if needed and use them as weapons, however, this would hurt herself if she did this, as she would loose water. She can heal herself using water, though how much she is healed depends on the amount of water, a puddle will only heal a little, and can be effective against minor cuts and scratches. While a large body such as a lake can heal more fatal wounds it takes a lot longer and is not very effective in a fight as it could take days to completely heal a part of her body if injured bad enough. She is extremely sensitive to electricity due to her more water like DNA, and tries to avoid it. She also tends to stay away from fire, as its dehydrating abilities tend to have negative side effects on her. She can control larger bodies of water at a time, but it is extremely taxing, and she prefers just to use her own body or pull moisture out of the air and use it to create ice projectiles or spears. Also, since she is made up of mostly water, she needs more water than regular humans.

Personality:Her first choice in any confrontation is to fight, but will opt for a peaceful approach if necessary, but prefers fighting. She generally gets along well with anyone as long as you don't piss her off. She is very loyal to her friends and is very trustworthy. She can act mean or a little uncaring at times, but she always tries to do what is right.

History: Before the chemical spill she had a relatively normal life in raven city. She was a skilled mechanic and still loves working with machines. When the spill hit, she was out on a beach swimming. The chemicals basically altered her DNA to be that of water, though she can keep her human form that took a little practice to get right. She still likes working with machines though.

Ok, I updated my CS. Hope it's ok now!

[Pas]

From now on should a player need to PM Whowho or me in regards to Raven City issues could you please add both of us as recipients. Thank you very much.

Will this be your last change TheStinger? I like it, but could you please add that you can only control one machine at a time.
