Role: Robot Girl
Name: Project Guardian Angel: Date Akira
Age: 343 days.
Gender: Female

Personality: Rather sedate and a bit... odd. She sometimes stops walking in the middle of a corridor to inspect some point of interest, or to start up a conversation with someone because, say, the ribbon in their hair appeals to her. She gets interested in odd things, and makes even greater logical jumps between conversation topics. For some reason, Akira's programming has left her inordinately interested in romance. She also has a rather unnerving love for hugs.
Her hair is never tied the same way on two sequential days.
Brief Backstory: Less than a year ago, Akira was rolled out to fight the [INSERT NAME HERE] threat. Thus, her life is considerably less interesting than her production process, though even that is somewhat dull in and of itself. The really interesting thing is how they went about programming her: once they had the basic directives down, it was time to give her the necessary skills and knowledge to blend in with people and fight the [INSERT NAME HERE]. The designers were well aware that they needed to try and give an entire upbringing in order to not create someone too obviously robotic.
So they overcompensated in the opposite direction, giving enough information and life story that the end personality was entirely unpredictable. Part of this was combining footage and information to build her an entire background--her parents are businessmen, and their jobs required them to travel from country to country a lot. Once she was old enough, Akira started going with them, but she was sent back to Japan to finish her education formally.
When quizzed on the specifics, she mentions the tropics a lot, as one of her designers went on trips to rainforests a lot.
Skills: Always gets 100% on tests, courtesy of having all the information required to teach these subjects put into her head so she could focus on her proper mission. This result means she gets more leeway in not showing up to classes. Akira is also very good at singing, and effectively able to speak all major world languages.
Abilities: Her abilities are a bit harder to use in school. See, Akira keeps all her spare ammo in that case, so she can't exactly bring it with her; and the cane raises too many questions, so she can't bring that with her. Sadly, without the cane, she cannot transform her arm into a laser cannon, as the crystal is the most vital component for that, and the body of the cane itself contains essential circuitry. And without the case, the chaingun in her right arm is a bit hard to use long term...
So, if surprised, this just means producing the weaponry concealed in her torso and wielding that: a selection of medieval armaments, a chainsaw, and one experimental weapon prone to shutting down that, whilst it works, uses electricity to create an edge that melts before it cuts, and thus can slice through most things like butter. Without power it's just a blunt shortsword.
Finally, her legs are far springier than they can appear, and Akira can thus jump extremely high compared to a normal person. And land from such heights safely.
Archetype: Lancelot du Lac; Greatest Knight of the Round Table. This Archetype grants the ability to summon the sword Arondight, and wield it with greater proficiency than could normally be managed--which is quite useful when you're already pretty good due to being built with melee combat in mind. The sword does not do anything special, but it can be used to block things that would shatter Akira's normal armaments--and it's shiny enough to deflect lasers and the like.
Other: Left handed.

  • Role: The Oldest

  • Name: Rin Takanashi

  • Age: 28

  • Gender: Male

  • Appearance: This totally cool dude who seems to think he's more like this.

  • Personality: Friendly and enthusiastic for his job, Rin tries hard to be a beloved teacher that his students can respect, befriend and learn from. Believing that students benefit more from a casual environment, Rin spends more time thanis probably necessary simply conversing with his class, although he does tend to become more strict around exam time.
    He's also quite an avid fan of JRPG's, boasting proudly that he's played every single one to date. His RPG mentality tends to show in his teaching methods somewhat; encouraging his students to focus on their strongest subjects, and for any groupwork, pair off students that can cover each other's weak spots adequately. He's also been known to to somehow go on a tangent about whatever game he's currently struggling with while in the middle of a lecture. Almost as if his effectiveness at teaching depends on how well his progress is.
    Overall, Rin's simply a nice guy who wants to be a cool, memorable figure for his students, and help them achieve great success in their lives.

  • Brief Backstory: While hardly the best student ever, Rin tried hard during his school days, at least when he wasn't trying out the latest fads, or being slowly enveloped in those silly adventure games with far too many numbers involved to be any fun. After his high school days, he went from job to job for a little while, before pursuing a career in teaching, discovering he quite liked passing on his knowledge. focusing on his stronger subjects at school, he finally managed to become a teacher, just a couple of years ago.

  • Skills:
    As a teacher, he has at least some knowledge in several fields, especially History and English.
    Is surprisingly great at playing Role-Playing Games.
    Looking totally cool and awesome and stuff.

  • Archetype: Asclepius - Granting him the ability to strengthen allies or weaken enemies.
    'Blind': The targeted enemy's vision is impeded severely.
    'Screech': This skill messes with a target's auditory systems, making it much more difficult to hear someone coming from behind. Or any direction, really.

    Accepted.

    Role: The Witch
    Name: Suzuki Hanako
    Age: 16
    Gender: Female
    Appearance: "As long as you're not too ordinary, come and join the Super Action Weather Fight Club!"
    Personality: Hanako is viewed by many as a very strange girl. She is highly energetic and enthusiastic, and even quite friendly... and yet... her friendliness only extends to people she feels aren't "ordinary". While she doesn't hold any hate for these "ordinary" people, she finds them boring and not worth spending time with, at least outwardly. Instead, she chooses to spend time with those people she feels are unusual and different. These people are often regular people she has taken a liking to. However, Hanako chooses not to perceive them as ordinary, instead constructing strange backstories for them. She knows, deep down, that these backstories are not real, but she feels it makes things far more enjoyable. For example, she has decided one of her friends must be an alien.
    Hanako adores the idea of being the user of an Archetype, and feels that it is her utmost duty as such a person to be the best hero possible. And, of course, this means being a true hero who protects the innocent wherever she can from whatever threat she can. She still realizes she must keep this a secret, as much as she does not desire to. However, she can be extremely stubborn and temperamental as well, refusing to budge even if her position seems insane.
    Brief Backstory: Hanako has gone through life feeling like it was lacking something for her. The real world was nothing like what she desired. So she thought. In all respects, her hometown was quiet and safe. And in her opinion this made it very very boring. She wished she could be a hero, someone who saved innocents and even the entire world. Her odd attitude caused her to have very few friends, until High School. It was here that Hanako decided to take a drastic move, one that changed her path.
    Taking control of the dying Meteorology Club(one of its members didn't even participate in anything meteorological), Hanako somewhat forcibly created the "Super Action Weather Fight Club". She even invented strange backstories for the remaining club member and other people she dragged into it. She had to do something to spice things up, after all. And while this made her life much more enjoyable... things didn't truly change for her until she discovered a horrific monster, a seething blackness with an eerie white mask. She only vaguely remembers what happened, and that she must keep it a secret... but she gained the ability to destroy such creatures. An Archetype.
    Skills: A decent sprinter, but hardly the most athletic person.
    Abilities: Nothing of note.
    Archetype: Raijuu - The Beast of Thunder and Lightning, granting Hanako the ability to, for the moment, release short-range blasts of electricity capable of affecting a single target upon invoking her Archetype's name.

    As characters are created, I'll put them into the list under the role they fill.

    Pretty bad CS, if I say so myself. But it's been some time since I've done a character like this.

    Role: Online Mystery Story Solving Detective
    Name: Akio Himura
    Age: 17, though is repeating his first year.
    Gender: Male
    Appearance: "Meh."
    Personality: For someone who has a name that pretty much translates into Hero of the Scarlet Village, Akio Himura is a rather withdrawn individual. He doesn't enjoy sharing his thoughts with others, and his vocal answers generally come out as a grunt of sorts, just to show that he was listening. He avoids eye contact, prefers places where he can be alone, and during social outings, his best friend is the wall, who always has his back as he twiddles around on his phone. All in all, he's a pessimistic introvert who's incapable of believing that people can be trusted, a jaded, cynical high schooler who spends way too much time thinking and not enough time doing. Despite this though, he's a remarkably clear-headed thinker, an intellectual with a knack for gathering information and problem-solving. Nowadays, he's not driven to panic as easily, but instead, holds a bit of an inferiority complex that keeps him quiet, even when he should speak up.
    Brief Backstory: Akio Himura's life is the typical story of a kid who had a normal, if not oft-absent, family. He was a smart boy growing up, and enjoyed spending time in the library more than out on the fields. He was even a bit of a smart-ass back then, reflexively correcting his classmates. Combine that, along with his giant pair of glasses and braces to correct his crooked teeth, and he was pretty much a walking target for bullies. By Grade Six, it was accurate to say that Akio had become everyone's gopher, as he waited for the day that elementary graduation would happen, in order to start anew.

    Except in the first year of middle school, he found out that most of his class from elementary school went to the same middle school. And so, he prepared for another few years of the gopher life, having already accepted his fate. A life being trampled on by those in power. All things considered, that was what adulthood would be like, so really, Akio just thought that he was getting a headstart in adapting to the cold reality of the world. An optimistic pessimism for a situation that he thought inescapable, until a violent upperclassman took charge, cracked a few heads, and promptly dragged Akio out of the social abyss he had fallen into. For the duration of middle school, he had clung to her side in a symbiotic friendship cemented by the fact that he could help her with her studies.

    High school was next, and Akio chose to attend the same school as his only friend. Two months in, he had learned that she was involved in a house fire, and was hospitalized with critical injuries, roughly 40% of her body charred with burns.

    He spent most of the rest of his first year at school in a state of lethargy, skipping most of his classes and spending his time shut in his room, wasting away his life on time-consuming puzzles.

    It was only after he was forced to repeat first year high school, and under the threat of getting kicked out of the house, that Akio started to attend his classes once more.

    But he really, really, really doesn't feel like doing anything, and a perpetual aura of gloom surrounds him.

    Skills: He has a sharp and flexible mind, suited for figuring out problems and solving mysteries, but presently, it has been dulled by his personality. Akio was quite a strong academic in middle school as well, and it has carried onwards into high school. If it wasn't for the fact that he's such an invisible presence in school, he'd actually be praised for being such a quick learner.
    Archetype: Erlang Shen, the Truth-Seeking Third Eye and the greatest Warrior God of Heaven. Grants the ability to see what sins others bear when Akio engages in eye contact, innately sense danger, and, most ironically, grants immunity to flames.

    Okay, most of it checks out, but I have a few things I have to draw the line out.

    Mind-reading is generally something I do not allow in RPing. There are a few ways around this that I can suggest. You could have your character be able to see through lies something like that, though I'd say that it should be manual. Seconding, future sight is extremely sketchy in RP's, though if you have it operate more like a "this might happen if I do this" kind of thing it's much more acceptable.

    In terms of mind-reading, I was thinking of it more as being something that sees what they're thinking on the surface. As in, it reads what they're presently thinking of, not something like going into their minds and extracting all sorts of personal information. Dunno if that would balance it out or not.

    For future sight, I was thinking more of it as being something like...see what they're going to do one or half a second into the future. I could always just make it so that he has a vague sixth sense that detects dangerous situations though. It was mainly added to give him some real-time combat proficiency.

    Hmm. I'm still a little bit wary even though that sounds better, but, um... if it is going to be that, it has to be something that isn't going to be immediately used all the time and I'm still leaning more towards lie detection.

    Okay, that's fine actually. It kind of reminds me of, if you're familiar with Fate/stay night, the Instinct skill, which more or less operates very similarly.

    Actually, would it be more viable if, instead of mind reading, he had the ability to see the 'crimes' that others have committed? It'd probably make him lose hope in humanity every time he used it, but it would be less prone to abuse than mind-reading...probably. Perhaps something that activates on direct eye contact.

    In this case, I would say...anything that Akio personally views as bad. However, he won't know of the situation revolving around the crime, nor would he know of the method used to do so. So he would know who the criminal is, but would not be able to pin down WHY or HOW they committed said crime.
