Alright, I think you should run any power ideas by me before you make a sheet for it. That way, we work out the kinks BEFORE you write a full sheet for it.

Kinks, leather and strap-ons

Was that really necessary?

I say the problems with the guild extend from us giving it forum cancer with our stupidity.

I can hear the pillars of the Guild shattering as an infantile monkey cradles an unlit candle in its arms.

I give you a hamburger.

Computer is busted at the moment, so the IC is pushed back a bit. UNLESS, you guys want me to post the semi-complete version.

IT BEGINS.

I started the IC a little early since it was complete enough to be presentable. So yeah. Ya'll bitches know the drill, all my chsracters I have posted as are open for interaction. I'll post as Shannon and Sugar later, probably going to insert them in another scene.

Of course, if any of you wish to collab, then hit me up.

Let's get started.

I'm interested if there's still room for one more.

Yeah, sure.

Great, thanks. You should've got a PM about one of my ideas for a power?

Name: Darren Shaw
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Stage name- DJ B3AR
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Height: 5’ 11”
Weight: 13 stone
Home District: New Black Fall

Appearance

Hair Color: Chocolate brown
Eye Color: Yellow, vertical slit eyelids like a puma or wild cat
Ethnicity: White
Physical Appearance: Darren has quite an average build but is a bit muscular and his hair is fairly average length for a boy which usually rises up and turns spikey at the front, except for body hair, which grows quicker than the average human but only slightly, nothing major like werewolf hair or stuff like that. His physical features are quite unusual due to his powers which includes sharp claws for nails, fangs for teeth and yellow eyes, although to get away with it, he tells non-meta humans that this is his stage costume. Apart from that, he looks like a typical teenage boy, with a normal sized nose, ears, and his body is normally proportioned. His skin if fairly well looked after, as he cleans and washes a lot too. From far away, he looks normal, but close up you will definitely notice his animalistic features, those being the only different physical features which Darren makes no attempt at hiding.
Attire: Casual- Darren usually wears dark blue jeans, a plain t-shirt with a checkered shirt thrown over, unbuttoned or a hoodie and t-shirt with some sort of graphic design printed on, either way he wears dark colours such as black or burgundy red, except for the jeans. It’s very rare to see Darren in a formal attire and he hardly keeps up with the fashion sense. He just wears what he likes the look of. Darren likes to wear unbranded clothes, apart from his trainers which are usually Puma or Airwalk. His clothes are nothing too obvious or ougoing.

Personality

Personality: At basics, friendly, curious, optimistic and energetic. Can be aggressive and finds it very hard to trust someone a second time. On the other hand, he can become very hyper at times. How he acts around people is very dependent on whether or not he trusts the people around him or not. If he does then Darren will be very talkative and open to conversation. However, when he gets hyper, he becomes very excitable and tends to bounce on his toes a lot.

If he doesn’t trust you, he will become very aggressive and distrustful of you, and you will often find him snarling or growling when someone he doesn’t like is nearby. If provoked, this can lead to a fight where Darren cannot calm himself down, and may even take other people to calm or restrain him until he simmers down. There is an extreme to this as, to a very extreme case, Darren can reach a blood rage where he reaches extreme amounts of aggression and violence, where he cannot stop himself from trying to kill the people he is angry with and WILL attack anyone who tries to get in his way and all concept of morality is lost. Another way to tell he is at blood rage is that his eyes will turn crimson red instead of bright yellow. Fortunately, this has not happened yet.

When he is not in a blood-rage, Darren’s morals are normal to any other human being. However, others before himself is a very important one to Darren so if you get on Darren’s good side, he will become extremely loyal and protective. He enjoys getting a buzz, whether it is him on a parkour run, or performing a live DJ set at a club, which is what he tries to get every day and night at New Black Fall, where he believes he can make it big with his music and the club scene. Despite loving the night atmosphere of New Black Fall, he definitely distastes the more… “vulgar” side of the district and stays clear of those places if possible. If you find him by himself, he is usually working on a new track in his room, listening to music outside, or just clambering buildings or running.

Hobbies/Interests: In his spare time, Darren is a dubstep DJ and would love to perform at The Exchange.
Skills/Talents: Darren is very passionate about technology, so has a good general knowledge about it.
Prized Possession: His music gear.
Quote(s): “Are you ready to get crazy!?”
History/Bio: Darren didn’t have a very interesting life until the discovery of his powers. First it began with his parents having trouble cutting his long, claw-like nails until the power spiralled into his own feature. However, when he performed at a small time club some low-life “gangsters” tried to hold it up and rob the place. Darren snuck his way off-stage and made his way behind them. As the barman was putting money into a bag, Darren grabbed one of the two and slammed him into the ground and pounced on the other assailant. Darren came very close to his first possible blood-rage that day where the unlucky fellow left with a broken nose and collapsed eye socket with other minor injuries and required plastic surgery. Darren made a promise to himself so that he could control violent animalistic urges so basically he wouldn’t viciously maim opponents or go on a killing spree.
Family: [REDACTED]
Relationships:
Matthew Black, 19, one of Darren's best friends, fellow party goer.
Abilities

Power Class & Rating: Super-System 3
Power: Darren has mutated into an animal-human hybrid with many physical and minor mental changes. Darren’s finger nails has grown into short sharp claws and has developed fangs. He is very strong and agile, giving him great offensive capabilities as he runs and climbs much quicker than the average human, able to reach 60 mph maximum, he cannot run that fast all the time. He is also much stronger, able to carry 60kg without much struggle, using both arms, however he is no hulk and certainly will find heavier objects much, much more difficult. He can do free-running but nothing showy (think mirror’s edge parkour). He also has heightened senses, for example he can use his incredible sense of smell to track things or people and has good eyesight day or night.
Weaknesses/Drawbacks: This ability cannot be turned on or off and animalistic urges can take over human instinct sometimes meaning he can be uncontrollable or gain animal fears (like fire). He can become overly aggressive and has a tendency to charge ahead without thinking when infuriated.

Other: As part animal, he can roar and growl and has mixed this into some of his music tracks as recorded samples

Sample Post: This was great. Doing a gig at a club and watching people enjoy his music. He knew dubstep wasn’t everyone’s favourite but Darren had it stuck in his head that he may, just may, make it at New Black Fall. “Ladies and Gentleman!” He said into the microphone. “Are you ready to go crazy!?” Darren was met with a cheer and whooping and Darren promptly replied with dropping the bass with his track. He was currently playing a remix of “Get Hyper” by Droideka. Darren began bouncing about as he was readying the next track, and he was loving this. The energy, the buzz, the crowd, the lights- the entire atmosphere made his blood rush and Darren was more than enjoying this feeling. “Everyone get on the fucking ground!” Someone yelled followed by gunshots into the air. Darren immediately ducked behind his setup and peeked over to see two masked gunmen threatening the bar man.

Darren was royally pissed off that these two ruined a good night. He crept down the stairs into the crowd and shifted into a low prowl to be as quiet as possible. As one criminal was shouting at the barman, the other was pointing a gun at the man, the first target. Darren broke into a sprint and grabbed the first criminal from behind by swinging one arm over his shoulder and digging his claws into his target’s chest and with the other arm, pulled him down. The gunman was slammed into the club floor as his gun somersaulted and skidded across the floor, where the man was swiftly met with Darren’s foot stomping onto his stomach. The accomplice, who was masked in a black balaclava, turned around and tried to pistol whip Darren but thanks to his power, dodged and smashed his elbow into his face. The man stumbled and fell on the ground but Darren was upon him in a second and started to continuously punch the man in the face. Darren was in a fit of rage and blocked out everything, and was almost revelling in the violence. Fortunately for the man, Darren was eventually pulled away when everyone realized the gunman was on the verge of being beaten to death. When someone talked to Daren, he snapped back to reality and simply replied with “Huh?”

The next day, Darren was bailed out of jail for assault and was taken home by his parents. “What the hell was you thinking!?” His dad said in the car, furious.

“I dunno Dad. I just… did it.” Darren replied, still confused about what actually happened the night before.

“You just ‘did it’? Son, you’re lucky you’re not going to court for this, that man was half an inch from death?!” His father said. Darren’s mother butted in.

“Look Darren. You’re a teen, things happen darling but this… this is something different.” She said, a bit more caringly that her husband.

“Yeah, mum. I know.” Darren sighed. Something struck him. “Hey mum. I AM different, right? Maybe there’s more to this.”

“What are you on about?” His father questioned.

“C’mon, the eyes, the teeth, nails. It’s like a mutation, but perhaps not physical changes alone. Maybe I’m more… mentally different too.” Darren explained, turning his thoughts into words. “I’m curious to see what I can actually do with this.” He added. Maybe he was like those meta-human thingies he heard about at club nights. Maybe…

Sorry, but this sheet will be a lot of work before I even consider accepting it. The appearance and personality sections are absolutely bare bones and don't tell me much at all about your character. This is advanced. His sample-post doesn't show too much about your character either, only his fighting ability. Other than that, I don't see any problems with it other than a lack of detail. If you want, take a gander at the character deposit and see some of the sheets that have already been accepted for an idea.

Okey dokey, doesn't seem like a whole lot to fix but I understand your points and will make amendments asap.

I edited in a collab between me and Jazzy to my last post.

Name: Leonard S. Boggs
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Lenny
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Height: 5'6
Weight: 132 lbs
Home District: Courtwall Harbor

Appearance
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Blue
Ethnicity: Caucasian (His ancestry is a mix of several European countries)

Physical Appearance: At a glance, Lenny can be mistaken for a mop. A pale, lanky youth of 16, Lenny is only recognizable in crowds for his bright red hair -- Other than that, he's very easy to miss. He slouches, smells like stale sweat, and hides most of his thin frame under layers of hoodies and baggie shirts.

Underneath those layers of clothes, however, is a lithe and limber young man. He holds very little fat, and has a body fit for a gymnast or swimmer. His pubescent limbs seem awkwardly too long for his body with thin, narrow fingers and toes. His face is most noticably affected by this overall thinness, with a jaw that pokes out visibly, accentuated by his pointed cheekbones and thin lips. He holds something of a delicate face, despite his intensely vacant eyes.

He generally dislikes having his picture taken.

Personality: Unfortunately for Lenny, the only thing simple about him are his tastes. He enjoys breakfast food, scifi, 90's rock, and pretty brunettes. His brother's reputation makes him an outcast in most circles, which he claims to enjoy, preferring his own company to that of others. However, having the brother he has isn't the only thing keeping him from having many friends. Lenny's lack of social skills and readiness to fight do that well enough on their own. Because of this combination, Lenny spends most of his time on his own, watching movies or cartoons, getting drunk, flipping through comics, or taking walks through the city or wilderness. Lenny is something of a loner, needless to say.

He secretly pines for a genuine friendship, rather than the few acquaintances he has. His experiences have thickened his skin a fair deal, causing him to toughen up at an early age -- From a psychological viewpoint, having to grow up quickly has caused Lenny to crave the childhood he feels he missed out on, which he experiences through the countless fantasy-based movies, shows, graphic novels, and action figures he has.

Aside from Lenny's escapism and loneliness, the final major aspect of his personality is his short fuse. Living with his abusive older brother, Lenny has found that the best defense is a good offense, and while he is generally down to earth and easygoing, Lenny lashes out under the right circumstances. He has poor control over his emotions, and has frequently been put into detention for fighting.

Although he is blunt, awkward, and quick to a fight, he is secretly a gentle soul who craves friendship above all else.

Hobbies/Interests: As mentioned above, Lenny spends his time alone, for the most part. He is an avid comic fan, reading everything from Golden-Age superhero comics, to gritty detective noir stories. His favorite genre is fantasy, or generally "Everything that has swords". He is a fan of Star-Trek, although he dislikes Star Wars. Aside from other geeky interests like shows and online roleplaying, he enjoys long walks through the city, or the woods surrounding Black Falls. Above all, however, Lenny enjoys using his metahuman abilities, although it is strictly in private. He rarely fires his energy off, as it draws unwanted attention, preffering to simply redirect it in ways that amuse him, usually making the christmas lights in his room "dance".

Skills/Talents: Aside from honing his energy absorption, Lenny is a skilled mountain-biker, using his bike to traverse the city as well as the craggy forests and hills. Other than those two, Lenny is self-admittantly talentless, which he has few qualms with.

Prized Possession: Lenny places little value on physical things. However, as his bike is the most expensive thing he owns, it would probably be that.

History/Bio: Leonard Skynyrd Boggs was born at home, in a small apartment in Courtwall Harbor. Although his parents were proud of not being poor enough to live in Dead End, their apartment building was built from the same design as the Leonard Housing Developments, which were only about five blocks away, on the border of Courtwall Harbor and The Dead End, so it made little difference. Lenny was born on the right side of the tracks, technically, but not far enough from the tracks for it to matter.

His parents were blue collar folk from Georgia, who had few problems with their son's illiteracy, and more with the ethnicities of his classmates. Although fearful of Lenny's metahuman abilities that he had displayed since infancy, they registered him with NEST and were generally supportive. They died in a car accident shortly after his sixth birthday, leaving Lenny and his brother Creed in the custody of his grandmother.

With his grandmother a dottering old woman, most of Lenny's upbringing, or lack thereof, was from Creed. Creed shared his metahuman status with Lenny, as he was able to perform "suggestion", forcing his will on others in a telepathic form of mild hypnosis. This ability kept unwanted social worker visits away from the Boggs home, and made sure his status as a metahuman was unregistered. A known violent skinhead, Creed would use his abilities to quickly rise through the ranks of the "Iron Eagles", a small gang that operated in The Dead End.

Although generally kind to Lenny, he tends to have fits of violent rage, frequently lashing out at his younger brother. He is persistent in his belief that Lenny should join the Iron Eagles, as his metahuman abilities would be a valuable asset. Needless to say, Lenny has always avoided the group like the plague -- After all, those who know of them usually know of their leader, and those who know him have usually heard of his younger brother, Lenny. Because of this, Lenny is avoided by many of his peers out of fear and distrust.

Family: Grandmother - Susan Boggs
Brother - Creed Boggs

Relationships

Creedence C. Boggs | Fears | Brother| "For a terrifying nazi, Creed is decent. At best. Nobody knows what he can do but me. He's a scary guy, and I woudn't cross him if I got paid to." |

Susan Boggs | Pities | Grandmother | "My mema's gettin' there in age. She doesn't talk much, and when she does, she mostly rambles. Poor old girl." |

Abilities

Power Class & Rating: Elemental 8
Power: Lenny can absorb, redirect, and expel energy. This pertains to all types of energy, although Lenny sticks to mainly three: Kinetic, thermal, and electric. When absorbing energy, Lenny can either siphon it slowly from a distance, or more quickly with direct physical contact.

When expelling it, the combination of whatever he's absorbed takes the form of a blue plasmoid, either as a blast, beam, or wave, dealing concussive force. Redirecting energy is a combination of both, absorbing through one arm and firing it from the other, making himself a conductor. This is usually reserved for large amounts of energy he can't safely absorb.

Aside from this plasma energy, Lenny can also use the energy in its natural form, using electric energy to fuel or short out devices, thermal energy to warm himself, or kinetic energy to speed up a baseball.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks: Most notably, Lenny cannot move and absorb energy simultaneously. Doing so by being pushed or on his own accord would cause him to lose focus, and react to the energy he's absorbed the same as any normal human -- Electric energy would shock him, thermal energy would burn him, and kinetic energy would continue at an undampered speed.

Additionally, Lenny can't absorb a large amount of energy without immediately burning it off or redirecting it, or he will risk ashing. Putting out a large fire, stopping a speeding train, or absorbing other large amounts all put him at risk of "overdosing".

Lastly, Lenny's plasma bolts can injure him with the recoil they present. As he's only able to fire them from his hands, a beam too large, or from redirecting too much energy at once, could potentially break his arms, or blow them off.

Other: Lenny is named after Lynyrd Skynyrd, while his brother is named after Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Btw, could someone give me an honest power rating for my character's power please?

Going by the chart, I would say at level 2 or 3. That is under the assumption that his body and capabilities are enhanced greatly enough he can out-maneuver most/all ordinary people. Don't let it discourage you, even a simple power or underwhelming power can excel in proper conditions. This is also not a fighting roleplay, so there really is no need to worry about it. I think it adds an interesting dynamic.
