"Total sound manipulation" is one of the best things ever. Just imagine you make the wings of a fly play a song. :P

"Dude, your speakers are shit. Lemme fix that."
"But, when you leave it'll just be shit again."
"That's your problem."
"..."

I just wanted to drop in and let you guys know that I'm still around and not dead (<I think). I'm still writing Full Bio for Nymph, but things are moving along. I've had some real life shit stuff going on (as well as other RPs), so it might take a couple of more days...

@HylianRose You are indeed welcome to join!

@Driving Park Character is accepted! :)

Btw guys, I have two important exams this week (Thursday and Friday), but after that we will put up the IC-threads and be ready to go. I do think we are enough people to get started now. Until then, I guess you could start thinking about what city to start in. We should try to be at least 2 in every city, my suspicions are that Claychester will be the least popular one. Godsmith will be in Claychester though, so I guess we're almost alright.

Is this still open to join? I'm in the midst of thinking up a character now.

I want to make him from Manchester and have a friendly rivalry with @Mr_pink's character, bloody scouse vampire bastard.

@Driving Park Character is accepted! :)

Thanks! :D

Sofia is kicking it in New Skywell. That's her turf, yo. She also really does not like Claychester and will say so. Dramaaaaaa

Alias: Echo
Real name: Scout "Echo" Carter
Age: 22
Gender: Female

Appearance: Standing at a rather tall 5'8" and weighing in at 145 pounds, Scout is mostly muscle. Having been a tomboy most of her life, she's not really used to getting 'dressed up' like other girls. In fact, she hates dresses. The only reason her hair is long is because of her dad who liked her hair so much he refused to let her cut it short like she wanted. Brown eyes are framed by high cheek bones and a soft complexion. Her lips don't usually get chapped considering how much water she drinks on a daily basis. She isn't super health conscious but she knows that water is a must if she's going to play outside all day. Her chest isn't very promonent but she prefers it that way, since bigger boobs would just get in her way. Though, she sort of wishes she had a bigger, more toned butt. You'd think with all the running she did, it would be less... flat.

Scout's uniform in a wellfitted spandex suit. It is orchid purple with a white strip running down the center with her 'Hero Logo' on the front, a set of rings that gradually disappear as they get farther out from the center. She has a few buttons on her suit that when activated release swaths of fabric or tubes that allow her to create different sort of sounds. She'll also carry around a random instrument of some kind that changes from day to day, though she prefers a guitars. She's been known to carry around a sax, a harp, a flute, and even more unconventional instruments like pots and pans and sticks.

However, at start her 'uniform' will simply be her hoodie pictured above, and a purple mask over her eyes. Basically, her uniform at this point would be a rectangle piece of fabric with hole cut for her eyes which she ties around her head.

Personality: Scout grew up in a rather hectic home. Actually, she grew up in an RV/Tour Bus most of her life. Her father was a rock star, a fairly famous one at that. She would have lived with her mother in a steady home had her mother even wanted her around. Scout had never been the most... accomodating child. Scout loved her father and because of him she grew up to be a person who loved life, every moment of it. She's never without a smile on her face, even in some of the worst situations. Usually when she gets down, she pops in her dad's old CDs and falls asleep listening to him. When he died, nothing much on the surface of Scout changed, but behind closed doors, she gets pretty depressed. She likes to be around people mostly because it keeps her mind off of the bad stuff, like the fact that her mother refuses to fund her way through college. Scout flirts, a lot, but mostly because it keeps people from asking if she's okay. Nothing better to change a topic than a quick grope and a slap to the face. Though, she'd have more friends if she kept her hands to herself.

Short Biography: As most heros, Scouts powers came about after a freak accident. One day, when she was fairly little, she was messing with her fathers sound equipment. She was on the stage, while her father and the other band members were all asleep in the old RV, and was pretending to be a rock star like her dad. But, a sudden storm came and with the sounds of the music she was playing drowning it out, Scout didn't even notice it. A lightning bolt came crashing down from the clouds and hit the mic Scout was rocking out on. When she finally came to, she was in the hospital. It didn't seem like much else happened after that. But recently, with her dad's death, her emotions started to get the better of her and her powers began to surface. At first, she didn't really understand what was going on, but eventually she pieced it all together. There was something weird in that storm that gave her these powers. That lightning bolt did something to her, changed her somehow. But what she didn't understand was why it didn't surface until now...

Powers, Skills & Equipment:

-Sound Manipulation: Scout can manipulate the sounds around her. She can create sounds with her mouth and other tools, but can only manipulate them with her mind. The use of her hands to 'mold' the sound waves is only for her to better visualize what she's trying to do. She can't do too much right now except mimic sounds with her own voice, changing the sound waves as they escape her lips, and change sound waves in certain ways like changing the pitch, amplifying sounds, and shifting the sound waves to distort them and the listener. Scout has also found that certain materials break and shatter at certain frequencies and has begun to test and keep a journal of different frequencies needed to break certain materials. The process is quite long and frustrating, however, so she doesn't spend too much time doing it.

-Super Speed: Scout's always been sort of athletic, but her speed is another thing altogether. She can keep up with most cars, even race cars. She can use this speed to create sound waves and create what she calls, "Sound Typhoons" which will hit targets like a brick wall being thrown at them.

Weakness(es):

-Earplugs: Take away Scout's ability to hear, and you take away her ability to manipulate sounds. Same thing with her voice, cause her to become mute and her power is diminished, though not as severely if you took away her hearing.

-Young: Scout still has much to learn about the world around her, much less her own powers.

-No-No Square: On the back of Scouts neck is a strange symbol in the form of a scar. It is a small circle with a strange lightning bolt insignia on it, presumably from the accident. Whenever she touches it, she feels weak and her knees begin to give way and she gets a horrible headache. She often yells at people for trying to give her backrubs, even if she does want one terribly.

-Skirt Chaser: Scout has a thing for pretty girls in cute skirts. Though, she doesn't really like hanging out with them as much as she does the guys. She much prefers getting down and dirty and acts it. She has a foul mouth and likes to play rough, often making jokes that would make even the best of friends a little peeved with her.





Let me know if I need to change anything. I'm not really sure how to lead into the whole 'super hero' thing. I guess she could just decide one day to use her powers productively when she sees shit going down in Grimmarch, where she'll start out. Any advice on that?

Hot damn that's awesome, Rose! I dig it 800%, would terminate jail villains with.

edit: oh. well that's sort of sad, now reading it more.

Lol. Thanks!

Aww... Well... What a rockstar without a tragic young death that no one saw coming? And Grimmarch is the city full of criminals. :P
I need to not mess with my characters so much, don't I? -grumbles-

She feels very 'batman' to me in a way. I mean, her mother might as well be dead to her. I'm sure her mother feels the same about her.

Alright, as I'm the manager for 'New Skywell', I believe I should ask for confirmation who will be starting there.

Pretty sure it's just @Driving Park right now. Would anyone else like to join? I think @HylianRose might find her character derping around there at the start. Might be neato. I know I'll probably be there, first. Also, @Hansa, I assume we're going to do that 'Superpower Registration Program' thing first, yes?

@LHG100 just reiterating my interest as I pointed out above, though I probably won't have a character sheet up till tomorrow if that's alright?

@OfficerHeadbutt, Hansa is the actual GM, I'm just a buddy of his who'll help him manage all this shit as a co-GM, but yes that's perfectly fine, feel free fam.

Ask mr_pink in a PM or whatnot about specifics, but I'd be chill with it dawg. Not sure about our ogrelord Hansa though, so ask him later too.

Due to electric problems in my house I'll be off for a time or online as long my android allow.

And nice character. Clare's looking forward to spread the doom in Grimmarch with her and crisis. :c

Alright Defacto, noted. Also, @OfficerHeadbutt, as you mentioned you already have an idea a-brewin', why not tell me? I could tell you if it's already taken and throw you some ideas. Plus I'm just interested. Show me whatchu got fam.

@LHG100 he wouldn't have any kind of relation to Mr Pink's character beforehand. It's just a case that people from Manchester and people from Liverpool have a half-joking rivalry with each other, so the first interaction with Mr Pink's character mine would have, would be in a 'Oh, fucking hell, it's a scouser' type of thing.

Alright, I think we'd all be cool with that. Post a CS whenever you will, Hansa (or me, whatever) will approve of it, assuming it isn't really stupid, which I'm certain it won't be.

One idea for power I'm considering is influence over electric and electronics. So, Emperor Palpatine style lightning attacks for combat, as well as being able to control a computer without even touching it, or (and I realise this would be a villainous use, but it's just an example) making money shoot out of an ATM.

I don't want him to be a nerd though, but still want him to be able to hack into things. I have an idea that the power works in the way that if he wants access to something on a computer, he can just gain access to it, without really understanding how it works. Perhaps at some point there's something he can't gain access to, and has no idea whatsoever why he can't because normally it just works.

I'm open to suggestions, or of course complete opposition to this if it contradicts anything. I don't really know much about the science behind hacking and such, it was just an idea that I had.

Perhaps an idea that when he's trying to access something in a computer or a network, is mind is sent into a physical manifestation of the database that he has to search through, while his body in the physical world is passed out and vulnerable.

If we're going ultra nerd, Electricity Manipulation and Technology Manipulation are normally two different things. So someone with control over natural electricity like lightning and such (Palpatine style) wouldn't be able to hack a city's mainframe just by thinking about it, and vice versa. But I'm sure you could make an argument for either way.

well, soon I'm going to meet a friend and smoke a few joints and watch a few movies, I'm sure my stoned brain will have an epiphany of a interesting power sometime during the night.

>smoke a few joints
I like you already. 420 smoke weed erryday.

Ignore this, may make this character if second characters are made available in the future.
