I really like the character! Though for her form, could we possibly keep her at a normal height? It might be a bit easier for roleplaying purposes in the future.Other than that though she seems good to me! In this RP though everyone is welcome to give a say/ask questions if they have any. Welcome to Sanctum!

The reason I have Deyna grow is because if she stayed 5"10 then she would not be able to transform back to normal if she lost any amount of body mass in Gel form. Maybe I can take a foot off to 6"5?

Yeah if you took a foot off I think that would be good! Thanks for responding!

So is it mandatory that we are 12-20? Or could we shoot for much older, E.G 40s?

I may actually narrow the age to around 18-24ish as it is a military organization. But if you'd like I can offer a position as a outside vigilante or possibly a Sanctum Officer (depending on how the character plays out), though they'd have a smaller role. If you wanted to do this though, you could make a character for the group and have them related (not literally) in some way to your older character, and have the character appear in your missions (if you ever create any).

Sorry, I've lost interest then, I prefer to have the grizzled veteran to the naive youngster.

Haha no worries, of course you wouldn't necessarily have to create a naive character, but I understand. If you change your mind later, and would maybe like to create a Sanctum Officer you;'re always welcome back.

Alias: Iron-Clad

Secret ID: Vanessa Katherine Kalford

Nickname(s): The Iron Slugger, The Full Metal Fucker

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Physical Description: From first sight, Vanessa is a heavy-set woman with a short and stocky build. She is certainly portly, and her limbs are wide and packed with body fat. Obviously, she has a gut that she is working on getting rid of. Her behind and breasts are larger due to having this extra body weight, with her thighs being very large. However, instead of looking sloppy, her body is rather tight. She doesn't have any love handles, and she definitely is losing weight. Vanessa carries herself like a confident fighter. Standing straight up and tall, and taking large steps. Her body is almost always covered in signs that she's been doing some fighting very recently. Her knuckles are fairly bruised/cut, she has a black eye, her nose looks crooked from being broken too many times, and she has a fair share of scars. Naturally, she leans on being tomboy rather than a traditional woman. Must be because of that fighter look, and the way she carries herself around. Her strong, masculine, earth-hands tends to contribute to this. However, her head of hair betrays this. Her wavy hairstyle, which is a dark-brown color, hangs off the back of her head, going down to her back, and she keeps it very well managed and clean. There are two long french braids that go far past her curly mane.

Going off her ethnic background, Vanessa is a mixed cup. She has Hispanic, and African-American in her genes. She'd definitely leave someone trying to figure out exactly what scratching their head until she tells them. Her skin color definitely suggests that she is a lighter African-American, or a darker Hispanic. Her facial features do absolutely nothing to suggest she's one ethnicity or the other. Her skin is a light-brown color, definitely. Her upper body is coated in black freckles, plenty can be seen on her face, and upper body if she were to take off her shirt. Like I said before, her skin is coated in scars and bruises. For the latter, she has nasty purple bruises on her upper body. Mainly around her chest, and on her arms. Other than the small scars from boo-boos in the past, she has some interesting scars, indeed. On her shoulder, she has a network of scars that look like cracks, that encompass her entire shoulder. Once again, you wouldn't notice most of them unless you took off her clothes. Fortunately, she managed to keep her face scar free.

Vanessa's face is rounded, and she has a rather large head. Her head is triangle shaped, with her face being rather thick. It's best shown in her chubby cheeks, which are childlike, similar to a girl's decades younger than her. Her jawline is sharp, with a large, boxy, pointy, chin - with a clef that few would notice. Vanessa has a small, rounded nose, that looks like a tiny stub, it's crooked due to being broken one too many times and never quite healed right. Vanessa's lips are thick and full, and pretty wide. Vanessa's eyes are large and child-like, her iris have a light-brown color. She has a massive-forehead too, it's smooth and round, but still pretty wide/tall.

Vanessa needs glasses to see properly, and she often wears thick framed black glasses to help. Vanessa's style is pretty bland on a regular, since style isn't too much of a worry. She usually wears t-shirts, jeans, and whatever matches/she feels like wearing. Though, she tends to wear outfits that are loose, doesn't hug her frame too much, and gives her plenty of freedom of movement. So she tends to wear things like sweat pants and t-shirts, while she likes to throw things like hoodies on. Though, Vanessa likes to wear jackets and coats like they're capes. Vanessa almost never wears jewelry, or the likes. In the few occasions Vanessa can prepare for a fight, she wraps a chain around her arms super tightly. Or when going boxing, she tends to coat her hands in fighter's tape.

General Personality: Vanessa is a normally kind and sweet woman. She usually acts calm and quiet, like the introverted type that you'd see hovering over a crowd. People who talks to her realize that she acts pretty nice and dorky. Trying to act calm, but ultimately slips when she hears news that would excite her. Sometimes even acting like a child by jumping up and down. She enjoys having fun, and being around people, even if she's not the center of attention. Vanessa is bisexual, but mostly leans on liking boys. She's open to a same-sex relationship, but boys are her main attraction. This normally sweet girl has a darkside, however. A thrill seeker at heart. Vanessa loves the rush that being in a do or die situation or fight gives her. Which is her main draw to the Hero business. Sometimes running out and delivering vigilante justice. She knows it's something she shouldn't do, but it's like an addiction to the action. She can't turn herself from it, and that's why she's working on weening herself. Though, she feels herself as becoming nothing more than a thug. Vanessa has a bit of trouble restraining her anger, and tends to solve her problems with fists rather than with choice words. Which is why she avoids regular conflict or confrontation lest she risks letting that anger guide a fist into someone's face. In terms of morality, she'll help people when she can, she's against harming innocents and causing senseless acts of destruction, on the other hand, she's fine delivering brutal beat downs on enemies and calling it fun. Long as no one dies, then it's fine, right? Her sense of right and wrong wasn't really 100% set.

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Powers/Abilities: Vanessa can play some mean DEATH METAL.

Metal Mimicry. Vanessa can transform her body, fully or selectively, into a black cast iron form. Cast iron is a pretty tough kind of metal, heat-resistant, and it's heavy. In fact, it's what frying pans are made of. If you think that's lame, go grab the nearest frying pan and put it over an open flame for a minute or two. Then grab it, and punch it hard as you can. After you're done that, go find a car, channel the power of your ancestors, and smack that bitch up. Did all that? Great job, jackass, you have a burned and broken hand and probably going to get arrested for vandalism. Point is, her durability in this state is elevated by quite a few notches. She can shrug off most physical attacks, knives and blades won't do anything to her, and she can withstand all but the hottest heats. Her body will be homogeneous, no part of her body will be more important than the other. In addition, she won't be able to feel pain, will be immune to biological attacks, and will be independent of oxygen. In addition to having a strong defense, she can dish out the damage just as well. Packing enough force behind her punches to break bones in one swing. Naturally, her strength is brought up too, nothing to the levels of say the Hulk, but she can lift up a lot more, and put more strength behind her attacks. Vanessa is also capable of manipulating her body, she can shape her body into tools, long as she has the mass for it. She usually employs stuff like hammers, blades, and maybe stuff like chains. Getting run through with a blade can be a particularly painful way to go. When she doesn't have the mass to transform her body, she is capable of absorbing other metals, and adding them to her combined mass. She can do this with any and all metals she can come in contact with. She usually uses this ability to pack more armor on, or get more mass to shape her body into. One neat trick she was able to learn was merging with metals and controlling them like an extension of her body. Such as jamming her hand into a car, and shaping it (Or at least the metal components). Once she transforms back to human-form, any metals she has absorbed will harmlessly fall off.

Metal Manipulation. A recent ability that Vanessa worked out is that she's capable of manipulating all metal, raw or refined. One neat thing about metal is that it is mostly tough, thermal resistant, conductive, and is pretty damn common. Metals are rather flexible, and can be fused into one another. Thus, Vanessa can shape metal easily without breaking/cracking it. Giving her the ability to make any metal construction long as she's got the resources for it, and make changes to existing construct. She can move any metals that are within her sight, however, her control over metals is even greater if she's in contact with it. This ability by default has a wide range of uses. She can be an offensive powerhouse by default, metal can make a good defense, and maybe this isn't a fight, she can still do plenty of things too. She can liquidfy metal, break metal down into a powder, detect metals around her, control the temperature of metal, corrode metal, and even change one type of metal into another (Any converted metal will be in it's raw/pure state).

Weaknesses: There's the obvious weaknesses a metal form would entail. She's heavy as hell, and thus, she's slow to boot. She will not be capable of the same feats of agility while made of metal. Absorbing metal can also bring her weight up a bit, to the point where she's immobile because there's a set amount her body can hold. She is also weak against magnetism, and just to save me some time; anything that'd normally affect metal (Rust, extreme colds, and so on). Any damage that Vanessa receives in metal form transfers to her human body. Cracks will appear as nasty cuts on her skin, dents will appear in her skin (with nasty bruises), etc, etc. Cast iron, while very shock absorbent, can't bend too much without breaking. Which isn't an issue for her since she's long worked around this weakness. It also rusts easily, and since Vanessa doesn't have any coating, she can rust pretty fast. Rust transfers back to her human form in the shape of scabs that can easily get infected if they're untreated. It's best that she stays away from large bodies of water in general. She can't operate that well underwater. Electricity can also serve as a problem, as being made entirely of metal her brain still has electrical impulses. A shock from say, a taser can mess all that up and render her temporarily paralyzed. While in metal form, Vanessa does not have access to her larger scale metal manipulation, only what her absorption abilities would entail. She has to be in her rather weak human form to control metals that she isn't touching. In general, Vanessa has to use both of her forms, for both maneuverability, defense, and manipulation of metals.

Fighting Style: Vanessa fights much a boxer. She almost exclusively uses her fists. She doesn't like doing the ranged combat thing, she prefers to be in an enemy's face - punching it! Vanessa uses her metal form mixed with her normal body to make up for the former's lack of speed. Such as remaining fleshy and throwing a punch as she turns into metal to put more force behind it. Or turning into metal right when someone is about to attack her.

Here's a CS for you guys to mull over. Hope it's ok

Alias: Highlander

Secret ID: Alfred Howle

Nickname(s): Alfie

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Nationality: Scottish

Physical Description:
Alfie is a handsome Caucasian male around 6’1 in height with a lean, athletic build. He has short, messy chocolate coloured hair often with his fringe spiked up slightly for that just out of bed look. He often keeps a degree of slight facial scruff. His eyes are a dark shade of brown which are often made to stand out by the dark bags underneath them and the black framed glasses he generally wears (which he only does out of habit). His body is toned but not overly so with a single unique scar in the centre of his left pectoral from the bullet that killed him. Alfie’s dress sense is pretty generic, he prefers long sleeve t shirts, dark jeans and boots. He often wears a dark hiking vest. He always has a set of headphones around his neck as he lives life to a classic rock and indie soundtrack (it also helps dull his abilities but more on that later)

General Personality:
Alfie is a unique individual. He appears to be of sound mind and strong spirit. Like most who lose parents in their youth, Alfie has abandonment issues. He rarely makes long-lasting relationships with anyone. He maintains no friendships from before his parents’ death and only the most irregular contact with friends from his late teens. Alfie is not nostalgic, but lives firmly in the present. He has only vague notions or thoughts about old age, which he does not seem to think he will live to see. On the flip side of this, he lives life to its fullest, trying new things and experiencing everything with clear eyes and an open mind. Having experienced death once before, he realised that there is too much of the world that is taken for granted by the living.

He is goal-oriented, but he often seeks these goals in an indirect and secretive way. He has kept many areas of his life meticulously compartmentalized, never allowing the emotional issues from the loss of his family or from relationships to intrude onto his visible life. Alfie seems to have an emotional and mental need for multiple layers of reality. He thrives when not revealing all of himself, carefully organizing the aspects of his personality he reveals to others. A keen observer of the human condition, despite his own inadequacies in emotional openness, Alfie is cerebral and empathetic when dealing with others.

Extremely solitary, he does not console himself by surrounding himself with others. His athletic pursuits tend to be solitary: running, skiing, hiking, swimming, diving, and climbing. He has developed a very detached persona. Although he is open and friendly with the people is surrounded by, he is extremely disconnected, barely having any sort of emotional connection with any of them. He is a man of few words but when he does speak, people tend to listen. Not all doom and gloom, Alfie does possess a dry and somewhat biting sense of humour and an undying loyalty to the few he lets see behind the wall.

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Powers/Abilities:
“Touched by Death itself” as he describes it, Alfie was brought back to life with his Titan gene activated which has essentially made him physically the perfect hunter. All of his physical attributes have been augmented to the peak human capability without becoming supernatural.
Tracking: He has the ability to sense meta-humans within a distance of 100 miles and track them via psychometric visions of their previous actions. Essentially he can follow their trail using little more than his hand and his mind’s eye.
Sedation: An ability he rarely uses because it’s pretty useless, Alfie can cause a target to fall into a groggy or sleepy state of being but this power usually only works on weak minds so he chooses to use it sparingly.

Weaknesses:
Hunter Instinct - When awakened from death, Alfie became filled with a supernatural urge to hunt meta-humans. The more he hunts, the stronger the urge becomes. This urge is purely instinctual, and forces Alfie to use all of his will power to not hunt those that have become his friends. He isolates himself a lot using distance, music whatever really to prevent the urge from becoming too great.
Mortality - Despite his enhanced strength, durability and stamina, Alfie is still human and can be injured and killed in the same ways.

Weapon(s):
Alfie carries a handgun and sniper rifle with him with both lethal and non-lethal rounds depending on his prey. A hidden blade his mounted in his boot and wrist guard and a small set of flashbangs and smoke bombs all sit by on his belt.

Fighting Style:
Alfie is not trained in any specific style of hand to hand combat. However he can more than hold his own with his no holds barred, no nonsense brutal brawling style.

Theme Song:
Can you feel my Heart? – Bring me That Horizon

Wow, that's a cool character.

Glad there is an influx of great new characters :) Both characters are approved welcome to Sanctum!!

What we might have to do is start from the beginning, but maybe start with everyone already knowing (or having been introduced) so we can get everything rolling.

Yeah it'll be a bit difficult for us to keep up on where we are exactly. I read the last 2 pages to try to get an idea of what the characters are up to, but there's a bit too much paperwork to do.

Sounds like a good plan to me

Ugh, are finals killing anyone else here?

Were getting so many interesting characters.

What's the limit? How many are we accepting?

I've decided to update Nathan as I felt his powers and junk were a little vague, just added some details and such.

---

We're probably going to accept maybe one more. Some of my characters will be playing a smaller role I think. Not sure how I'm going to work it out yet, but I'll figure it out haha. But you're character is good to go Kalas.
