[quote=@Zaresto] Okay, finished my CS. [/quote] It's good. The only thing I'm wondering about is the 'hardening'. How theoretically tough is that? Would it go down to a few bullets or is it strong enough to make a tank shell feel like a nerf bullet? Also, his appearance made me think of this: [hider][img]http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110607152803/fallout/images/3/3f/HH_Joshua_Graham.jpg[/img][/hider] [quote=@LokiLeo789] No I understand, that is why I gave him such a weakness, he was very powerful. Anyway, in terms of durability, if you or I were to be stabbed, let's say, in the arm by a 5 inch blade, it would easily sink all the way through, but for Carter, only 2 inches of the blade to sink in, before his skin would stop it. The force applied would make a difference, but his skin would act life buffer, pushing back at it. So were as a bullet to the heart would kill us, a bullet would be slowed down by his skin enough to stop it from puncturing his heart. But cutting him would be difficult. Hope that makes sense. As for the oxygen, someone would have to hugging him, or be in his "bubble" basically to be affected, since the fire only burns on the surface of his skin, it only takes air in the general area. As for his Heat Manipulation, he can super heat the air in an area within his direct line of sight, but not to far away from him, he can create fire, throw it, use it like a flame thrower, as he sees fit basically. I guess another weakness would be the fact that he can manipulate Heat in extremely cold environments. [/quote] I suppose that's alright, as long as he couldn't take a full clip from a machine gun or anything. Surviving a few bullets is alright, but if someone starts unloading either a lot of bullets or something like a 50 cal., I'd expect that to be too much for him. Now, I like it, but I'm gonna have to ask you to tone down the power of the fire capabilities a bit. I'm not gonna put a limit on exactly how much, but make sure they're just a bit weaker than the fire hero we already have. Other than that, accepted. [quote=@Lord Santa] Here's my CS. Tell me if something's wrong with it. [hider=my CS] [b]Name:[/b]Steven Stanley [b]Nickname/Alias:[/b] Tim [b]Age:[/b] 19 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] Steven has somewhat messy black hair. Standing at an average height, he’s pretty normal looking. He’s the kind of the guy you don’t really remember for looks, if he didn’t have an eye patch. But he does, so he’s pretty distinctive as the guy with an eye patch. [b]Location:[/b] California [b]Settlement:[/b] Drifter [b]Profession:[/b] Part time lazy guy [b]Skills:[/b] Steven learns pretty quickly. He also runs fast and is pretty good at camping, hiking and fishing, and a bit of climbing. Pretty agile. Somewhat good at cooking. He’s really good at keeping calm and almost never panics, mainly because he’s kind of an idiot. Untrained but pretty good at sneaking. Basically, he’s physically fit, runs fast and does a bit of stealth. He’s also the kind of guy who can do anything if he tried, probably. [b]Powers:[/b] Steven has 2 invisible ‘cubes of influence’ which he does stuff in. They’re intangible and can be controlled telekinetically, and if Steven moves, the cubes move with him. He can also tune his sight to his cubes in order to see out of them. Additionally, he can teleport objects within one cube to the other cube. He can transport any one thing he can identify, so he can be selective about it. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] His cubes of influence are fairly small, around 15 cubic centimetres, so the objects he can teleport are limited in size. Furthermore, depending on the size of the object, it takes energy to move it, so his use of that power isn’t infinite. Objects he can transport are also reasonably limited further. He can only transport things he can sense, and he can’t transport parts of an object or an object that’s part of another object. For example, he can take a key off a key chain, but he can’t take a clip out of a pistol, because if it’s loaded then it’s a ‘part’ of the gun. Also, when he’s seeing out of his cubes, he can’t see out of his own eyes. This weakness is, however, partially circumvented by the fact that he lost his eye a while back (more of that in the back story). He can use his missing left eye to see out of one of the cubes, and since there isn’t much reason not to, he does it most of the time. [b]Weapons:[/b] None, really. [b]Armor/Clothing:[/b] Travelling clothes. Reasonably thick pants, walking shoes, jacket and shirt. Also a pretty big back pack. [b]Equipment and Supplies:[/b] A large backpack with camping gear including a portable stove thing, a small tent with tent pegs and sleeping bag. He also carries spare clothes, 7 cans of food that might last him a few days and a 2 L bottle of water. He doesn’t carry too much, though, as he has to walk long distances, and he normally scavenges when he runs low. Also carrying his 3DS and phone, but they’re both turned off because there isn’t much power in the post apocalypse. Also has a lighter. [b]Personality:[/b] Steven is pretty lazy and kind of an idiot. That’s not to say he lacks intelligence, because he’s actually pretty smart. He can practically do anything he puts his mind to. The problem is, he doesn’t put his mind to much. It’s kind of because he can do a lot of things, but he gets bored pretty easily and goes back and forth. The reason Steven’s an idiot is because he does most things with reasons that most people don’t come up with because, you know, common sense. He usually ignores danger if what he wants leads to it, but he often comes out unscathed through a mix of luck and skill. Other than that, he can be described as a happy-go-lucky guy, satisfied to cruise through life at his own pace, not having many aspirations. He’s often seen with a smile, though, and he doesn’t take much seriously. Even then, he often thinks about his situations and what he should do. Keeping a dopey exterior, he manages to make his feats mostly look like coincidence. Always relaxed, a lucky idiot. [b]History:[/b] Steven was somewhat normal. ‘Was’ is the keyword. He had no real aspirations for his entire life and was mildly curious about the alien invasion and subsequent combat scenario. However, rather than be involved with the resulting apocalypse, his family isolated themselves from the outside world. Steven was content to sit still for a while and wait for the whole thing to blow over, really. But then the virus strengthened his powers and everything changed. He was playing games one day when he was suddenly struck by a massive sensory overload which made him overly sensitive to everything. His power, which’d been extremely small but present, mutated when the virus affected it, and it went out of control. After a few hours of pain, he woke up to find his room had box shaped holes in it and a bunch of stuff missing. He was suddenly aware of 2 invisible cubes that followed him. Unfortunately for him, his ps3 was gone and so was his eye. After he stopped the bleeding, he began training his power and getting used to not having a left eye anymore. He found that he could still use the cubes to ‘see’ with his left eye, so he guessed that it was still around somewhere. As it turns out, his family was still kind of fine, but they didn’t want to go out. Steven did and found some stuff from his room to be outside, but his ps3, his eye and a few other things were nowhere to be found. Being the only outdoorsman of the family, Steven was experienced in travelling, so he packed his bags and prepared to set out into the world in order to find his ps3, his eye and the other bits and pieces he’s missing (he started around a month ago from where the story starts). [b]Other:[/b] Likes cats [/hider] [/quote] Heh, I thought it was funny that he alias was Tim for no reason. [hider][img]http://imoviequotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/2-Monty-Python-and-the-Holy-Grail-quotes.gif[/img][/hider] Anyway, I'm not 100% certain what it is that his power does, but it doesn't seem ludicrously powerful. I'm going to say that this sheet is accepted. Keep in mind if you pull a [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LethalHarmlessPowers]Lethal Harmless Powers[/url] without giving me a heads up I won't be a happy GM. [quote=@TheUnknowable] How long after the Apocalypse is this? I was thinking you said a year, but I wanted to be sure. [/quote] One year, as was helpfully answered by [@Lord Santa]. [quote=@ExplosiveCrate] A question that I don't believe has been asked before: Where exactly do most powers come from? Alien origins, psionics, etc., and is it something that just manifests at some point or are you born with it? [/quote] It really tends to vary where people get their powers from. Some people's physiology was heavily affected by the alien virus and were granted superpowers. Some people had their genes altered by radiation or experimentation, and others got powers as a result of evolution/birth. When it manifests varies person to person, but if you are born with it, it either presents itself VERY early(probably on or around your first birthday) or later during puberty. [quote=@Lord Zee] Looked interesting so I thought I would apply! Feel free to critique my app, also I'm going out of town for a couple of days so don't be alarmed if I don't respond. However, if we start on Tuesday then I shall be ready by Sunday. [hider=App] Name: Blake Conwall Nickname/Alias: Diablo Age: 24 Gender: Male Appearance: Gleaming yellow eyes can be seen beneath the curly brown hair of this tan Caucasian. He stands at 6 feet evenly and his body is lightly toned with not a lot of muscle mass. He weighs around 160lbs. His expression at most times is charming but that is not to say he is a nice person, while his face is chiseled with no facial hair growing whatsoever. Blake wears torn up clothing over his clean body and wears no shoes upon his feet. Location: Recently, hes managed to find himself wandering in the giant Redwoods, Post-California. Settlement: Blake is a drifter by nature, choosing to not stay in one place for long. Profession: Before the apocalypse Blake was studying to become a veterinarian. Skills: Animal-Medicine, Cooking, projectile weaponry, fighting Powers: Blake has the ability to transform into an armored knight. This armor has a demonic visage with medium plating fully encompassing him with no body parts being shown. Etched into the armor are ruins that give off a ominous yellow glow. The helmet has two yellow glowing eyes with a sly, toothy grin for a mouth while two horns protruding from either side of his head, wrap down to almost touch his neck. His physical and mental abilities are enhanced while in this form, while it also sports magic based attacks that come from his gauntlets, which are also a form of melee attack. The magic itself is shadow based which means he is able to manipulate shadows for multiple uses. Weaknesses: Fully body Sunlight stops him from using his magical powers and also nullifies his ability to transform. From past experience anytime he tries it doesn't work, while if he happens to be in his armor he will come under excruciating pain as the armor turns to ash, which he then won't be able to use for up to 2 hours. Shade allows him to regain his magical abilities and his transformation but only on a small scale compared to the night sky. The armor itself can stand a good bit of blows, but will eventually start to break apart if under too much stress. Weapons: He has a small dagger hidden in his sleeve and he also carries a 22 glock hidden behind his back. Most of his weapons reside with his armor and powers. Armor/Clothing: Torn clothing, his Diablo form. Equipment and Supplies: He wears a small backpack filled with essentials for a drifter. Food, water, ammo and some medicine as well as a picture of home and family. Personality: Blake is a hard worker, usually trying his hardest when preforming tasks, at least when he cares. Rarely does he laugh or smile anymore but when he does it can be infectious. Hes mostly cool but Blake can be arrogant as well as rash at times when he believes in something. Hes the type of person that would help any animal in an instance but not so much a human. While in his Diablo form his mood darkens into a brooding figure who does not care what others think. History: Blake was ordinary before the apocalypse with nothing extraordinary about him that he could think of, other then the fact that he liked nature and helping animals. Everything changed when the aliens came and deployed the virus which ended his normal life. The day that happened he was in a museum with his fiancee strolling about the exhibits, trying to get their minds of things. Dusk was starting to fall and it was time to ago home yet they never did. The virus came, killing everyone and he could only watch as his lover died before his eyes and he stood there for what seemed like an eternity trying to grasp the situation before finally realizing what happened. As he fell to his knees the only thing he felt was rage, hatred, malice and revenge. It started slowly at first, the tingling sensation that wrapped around his body blinding his vision. He felt sick but could not move and when the sensation finally ended the blindness passed but what he saw was alien. His vision was enhanced and as he looked at his hands they were not his own. but some monster! He got up and ran from the room, faster then ever before and as he pushed the door to enter the bathroom it exploded off its hinges from the mere touch. He looked in the mirror then and realized that the monster was him and he could only wonder why as he punched the glass shattering it. Diablo had been born. That was around a year ago and since then Blake has learned about his powers, using them to survive in a world which was now quiet. His family was dead and so was the life that he knew. There was only one thing to do and that was wander around the country with no direction in mind. As he walked the landscape the old Blake died and a new one was born, one who knew of hardship and loss. The only thing he felt anymore was empty and a burning sensation deep down that drove him forward. Seldom has he made human contact but on the occasions that he does two outcomes appear. One where he walks away with what he needs and two being the same as the first but with dead bodies in his wake. His latest trek has had him travel to the Redwood forest of California, what he hopes to find there, not even he knows. Other: Enjoys the presence of animals more then humans. [/hider] [/quote] I feel obligated to tell you we have a demon-esque character already. That doesn't mean I can't accept yours, but I thought you should know. So, how tough is his armor? How strong is he? How powerful are his magical attacks? Then, in his history, why was he is a museum of all places? If there's an ongoing alien invasion, that might be the last place I'd go unless I had a unnatural love for history. Why isn't he in his house, with his fiance, waiting for the whole invasion to blow over, when suddenly, he realizes his wife is sick? [quote=@KaiserElectric] Is it too late to express interest? :D [/quote] Never too late to express interest. SO, anyway, I'm terribly sorry BUT starting today, I will be going on vacation. [b]I will be gone from today, Friday the 17th of July, until Tuesday the 21st of July.[/b] That means that during this time CS's won't be accepted and the OOC won't go up, but things should begin moving along again as soon as I return. I encourage you all to continue conversing between yourselves as to not lose interest in this RP. I'd like to thank everyone for applying and showing interest. i hope to see you all when I get back.
