...are we back? *hopeful* I got real sidetracked but my profile is about half-done. How detailed does it have to be?

Just enough that we are able to get a basic concept of who your character is.

Hey! We're back!

Noe I just have to think of a post

Am I allowed a second character? If so here he is.

Name: Leon Dipaolo

Alias: Alexander

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Skills:
Speaks fluent Latin, Some Italian, A skilled horseman, Skilled in many different kinds of sword and weapon play,

Powers:
The ability to temporarily take on the spirit of a warrior of old, and also summon up their weapons, armor and equipment. For example if he took on King Arthur's spirit he would gain access to most of his memories such as historical events, style of sword play, use of magic, Some of his other equipment and he could for a time summon Caliburn to his side, (yes the sword Arthur used was caliburn Arthur put Excalibur back in the rock,) He would be able to wield this powerful weapon because of Alexander's spirit in him. The downside to this is he can't remember much of the spirits memories and thus learns nothing from using them.

Equipment:
None needed.

Personality:
Fairly kind, a bit boisterous and often over zealous, Leon really does mean well and in the end he wants what's best for mankind, but he was born with a loud mouth and a bad habit of insulting people about things they can't change when he's upset, such as height. Leon is a good soul seeing the possible good and evil in everyone and taking things for what they are. But sometimes he needs a simple reminder that not everyone sees in black and white like him.

History:
Leon was born into a poor Italian family in the united states in Gotham city, his father worked in a factory and his mother worked out of their home/bakery, and Leon had high hopes of one day making enough money so his father could leave his job, shortly after Leon turned 17 his father was killed while working leaving Leon and his mother with almost no income. Leon took it on himself to go out and find work to take care of his mother. He did anything and everything to keep his family afloat, but he never hurt anyone or stole from them, his honor meant to much to him, he was doing well for himself by 18 he had a system set up to take packages whatever they may be and drop them off in their intended location for money, it was a night in December, Gotham winters are cold and Leon had gotten a request to move a high risk high value package, the payout would have been three grand. How could he refuse? Leon took the package to its destination, only to find the people in the building slaughtered, in terror Leon rushed home hiding the package in one of his spots along the way, fearing the worst he ran as fast as he could, he could see the blaze from down the street and standing outside of his burning home was a massive man, Leon froze, there on the ground lay Leon's mother dead and cold, Leon didn't even have time to scream before the man holding a black sword and clad in a hood advanced on Leon, "WHERE IS IT?!!!" The man screamed in a raspy and metallic tone, Leon knew he was going to die and fear gripped him, it was at that moment that he heard a voice, "I am Arthur Pendragon, will you accept my aid and the aid of the others who reside in the crystal of memories?" Leon had no idea what he meant but fear pushed him to say yes, as the man reached him and swung his sword to perhaps lop off Leon's arm, his black sword was blocked in a flurry of motion by a golden blade that had appeared in his right hand, somehow Leon knew what to do and he battled the hooded man eventually slaying him and as he did he spoke words he could not have known, in an accent that was a mix of his own and old English, "God have mercy on thy soul." Leon left home after that trying to find out anything he could about this Crystal of Memories...hoping to find answers, after nearly a year with no luck he heard of a school for people with gifts and magic, Leon signed up that day in hopes of finding the answers he's been searching for.

Appearance:


Other: H.I.V.E. five.

If Mistress Dizzy is going to be the last one to join then I would say that for now we are going to stick to one character each. We will see how things go once it is all rolling (and likely less site downtime).

I honestly would rather have him over Jason...

I have to agree with Wave, one of the problems of my former RP is I let it get way too over populated with characters. But tell you what if after I question you about this character and you still want him you may replace your other one with him. Sound fair?

Hey Saarebas, quick question. What kind of class is "Class"? I wanted to know so I can actually teach it properly and not screw up.

Mostly general stuff, making sure people aren't completely useless in the brains department. You can throw some super powered lessons in there, like maintaining a secret identity, who are the main superheroes/villains currently at large, certain groups like the justice league or league of evil that are joinable once out of school.

Ah, okay. Thanks!

You can add stuff if you want, it is just academic type learning though

Alright. I will figure something out.

Sorry for being vague

Nah, it's fine! I think it will be really fun to think up lesson plans. :)

Great and thank you

Reaction time is the delay of perceiving, processing, choosing an action, and putting into motion that action. The speed at which the action is done is then a matter of physical ability.Edit: Also Batman is not really dodging a bullet in your scenario. He is predicting the path of the bullet and moving before it is fired based on his opponents behavior and movements.

Ok, thank you for the correction. Was my explanation of Ryan's abilities ok though?

Alright saarebas fire away.

1) Who can he turn into exactly? Is it anyone who fills the role of a warrior? Is it just people from human history or are other species included like aliens? How far back into history can he go to retrieve a spirit, can he just pull the spirit of a soldier that died recently giving him modern weaponry?
2) What exactly are his limitations when he is channeling a spirit? Is he still vulnerable to normal stuff like stabbing, bashing, bullet wounds? Is he only as physically capable as the person he is channeling?
3) What type of magic can he use when he is channeling a spirit that has access to it, like Arthur.
4) Why would he come to a school to train him to use his power when his power is literally to instantly know all the skills of former warriors.
5) What do you mean by Caliburn? I thought Caliburn is Excalibur, they are just different names for the same weapon. Anywho what can Caliburn/Excalibur do exactly, there are many different forms of the sword with many different descriptions of its power.
