You know what? I'd like to get involved in this, if you don't mind. I'll write up a character sheet, see if I can't get myself accepted.

Go for it. See if you can't though? That's an interesting way of putting it.

"Bloomin' 'ell, if this ain't 'alf a bloody mess!"

Name: Roger Ranger
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Appearance: About 150cm tall and only 45kg or so; he's still growing. Or, er, "was", in theory, assuming death complicates puberty somewhat. Trousers and shoes tend to be as black as his jacket, and he wears a t-shirt under the jacket and hoodie. That, apparently, is yellow, according to the image.
Personality: Extremely English in tone and volume, Roger is surprisingly unsociable, tending toward solitude when possible. He prefers the company of women to men, and in fact considers himself a womaniser of sorts (though his actual ability to woo the ladies is, naturally, sub-par at best); mostly, however, he won't usually initiate conversations himself unless he wants to discuss something important. Not good at smalltalk. Tends to swear like a fishwife's mother, i.e. a lot, crudely, and usually with some creativity behind it. Despises Americans.
Biography: Born as the only child of an English family with no other relatives, Roger spent most of his childhood up to the age of eight in a reasonable state of not really paying attention to the worse facets of the world, since, as we all know, young children are notoriously innocent and unaware. This sadly ended when, on a holiday to America, both his parents were shot repeatedly in a gang attack, dying in front of him and scarring him for life. With no family to return to, the American authorities naturally decided to put him up for adoption in America, where he was adopted by a lower-middle-class family that couldn't really afford to take him on in the first place, but was silly enough to think that it could. Surrounded by overly American influences like guns, star-and-stripe flags, and unhealthy diet, Roger apparently reacted by becoming more and more English in tone, and typically found himself wandering the streets every so often when he'd had enough of his parents for one day. One such day, about a year before his death, led to his accostment by a gang of ruffians, who he managed to land exactly one punch on before being restrained; however, seeing how much "heart" he put into his struggle against them, whatever that meant, he was swiftly inducted into the gang, performing various duties for them such as drug runs, gun testing, and on one particularly traumatic occasion, killing a family of two, something which he found he couldn't bring himself to do...
Death Scenario: ...and then his toddler brother got into their parents' gun closet and accidentally shot him with a machine pistol. "Goddamn fuckin' Americans" were his last thoughts before he lost consciousness.
Phobias: Loss or repression of self and/or personality, murdering innocents, dying (as illogical as that now sounds), the dark, flying bugs.
Skills: He's reasonably skilled with pistols, shotguns and rifles - at least as skilled as a fourteen-year-old can be, anyway - and he can identify most human-produced drugs by sight. Also shows the beginnings of a reasonably intelligent mind.
Power: Closed Borders
Theme Song: Bamalam - Darren Leigh Purkiss. Alternatively, Shot in the Dark - Within Temptation.

Interested! Ill whip up a CS! i work full time and go to school but i can post decently frequently enough~

@BCTheEntity
Did you miss the part where I stated that I'd PM you your power? Welp, whatever.

I like how superhero-esque his name is, with both first and last name sharing the same first letter. Roger Ranger, how murrica. XD

Out of curiousity, how do you intend to have him react if he WAS to die (and subsequently resurrect)?

And why is he skilled with firearms? All things considered, I doubt that he would actually be trained in the usage of guns the first place, because gangs aren't exactly training facilities for future 360noscope snipers...Perhaps something along the lines of 'understands how most common firearms function' is a better fit?

@ERode
1. Oh, I wasn't meant to put anything for the power? Crap, I thought the idea was to make a suggestion for a name, and then you PM us the details of the power based on your own perception of it. But, er, I can comply with this.
2. Roger was the most stereotypically English name I could come up with on a dime. Ranger just happened to fit the theme of "uses guns". Feel free to make your own assumptions on whether that's his born or adoptive surname.
3. Probably badly at first, and then less so as he gets used to it, though he likely wouldn't get over it any time soon. Dying presumably hurts a fair bit, at that, so he might even become more averse to it, though more in the sense of "oh god, that sucked" than "AUGH NO PLEASE I DON'T- oh wait, I can't die".
4. Well, he isn't a 360noscope sniper, is he? He's a 14-year-old kid who lived somewhere in America, around a lot of guns, and also tested guns for a gang of people. I don't imagine he'd beat a trained soldier for accuracy, but I think it's fair to assume he can actually aim and fire at things reasonably well, given his history with long-range projectile weapons.

The idea was for me to PM you the power + name, and then you fill your power section with the name provided. XD

Doesn't he only have a year's worth of gunning experience? Then again, I guess we have differing views on what proficiency is. Toss it up in the CS place, eh?

1. Well, that's sorted out now, so nothing to worry about, right?
2. Well, a year's worth of testing guns for a gang, plus however much time his foster parents gave him with their guns. I don't imagine they were particularly responsible people, his foster parents. So... maybe a couple of years practice total? He's not going to be perfectly accurate with any weapon he's given to hold, is basically the point being made, hence "as skilled as a fourteen-year-old can be [with guns]".

Quote: "You need to Pop, Lock, and Drop that Attitude."
Name:Poppy
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Appearance: Poppy is only 5'0" she is small and curvyv most people classify her as petite.
Personality: Doesn't take anything seriously and is very sarcastic. She has a bad attitude and a cute complex a mile wide, you make any cute-sy comments and she will cut you. Seriously. Also, she has a rose tattoo that vines across her back
Biography: She doesn't talk about her past, the most that she will let on is that she left home because it was unbearable and became a street runner.
Death Scenario: She picked a fight with an entire bar full of people, they didn't think she was quiet as funny as she thought she was. Her tongue cost her to be pumped full of so much metal she rattled like a half full piggy bank all the way to the morgue.
Phobias: F-U-C-K-I-N-G C-L-O-W-N-S. Certain bodily fluids; puke, feces, and snot. Deathly afraid of flying stinging bugs.
Skills:Her pet peeve is her biggest advantage, she is greatly underestimated. Not to mention she can play the cute and stupid card to a T, though she is actually very clever. She is a brawler and fights hella dirty. Shes kinda a tank, for being so small, she is extremely sturdy and has a very high pain tolerance.
Power: I'll PM you one. Huehuehuehue.
Theme Song: Bubblegum Bitch by Marina and the Diamonds

Well, including your character, there are 3 characters who are both older and shorter than mine, which is slightly weird

We're all secretly midget ninjas.

They focus on the only guy taller than 6 ft while the smaller ones sneak up from behind and then-

OOMPA LOOMPA DOO BA DE DOO.
