[@Mr Allen J]Hey, I'd be interested in joining this, if you'd have me and I've already written up a Character sheet. If you could give me some ideas for more drawbacks/limits on some of the powers that would be great, cause I don't think the ones I have for some of the powers are really that good. [hider=Jackson/Michael/James DuCarthy] [h3][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Name:[/b] [indent]Jackson/Michael/James DuCarthy[/indent] [b]Age:[/b] [indent]17[/indent] [b]Gender:[/b] [indent]Male[/indent] [b]Appearance & Attire:[/b] [indent][url=http://girliehairstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Hairstyle-For-Heart-Shaped-Face-Man-55ada318bf967-Medium-top-hairstyles-for-men-with-triangle-face.jpg]Jackson[/url] is a tall, lanky guy, standing at around 6'2 and weighing in around 170 pounds. Due to MIchael's love of movement and exercise, Jackson's body is a lot more fit than it probably would be if it wasn't or the voice in his head telling him to "run, Run, RUN!" His musculature is lean and while not as developed as it could be, is still rather tone. He keeps his hair somewhat short in what seems to be perpetually messy style(though whether this is due to cosmic interference or simple laziness is for you to decide) and is mainly a warm jet black in color, though he does like to highlight it at times. His eyes change color depending on who is in control of the body at any time are a pale ice blue(as Jackson), a bright mix of green and hazel(as Michael), or a subdued steel grey(as James). As far as clothing goes, that depends on whose in charge of dressing on ay particular day. Jackson likes to wear clothes that aren't really that flashy, but are still somewhat socially acceptable, usually some mix of a t-shirt, a hoodie, some jeans, and sneakers. Sometimes he wears sunglasses as well, if he feels the need to look cool and aloof. Michael, on the other hand, lives for the attention and constantly wears things that he thinks are cool or stand out in some way, such as Hawaiian shirts, leather jackets that have a hot rod design, ripped pants, pants that look like they've been sewed together form the skins of different animals, you name and he's likely to have it, or will be getting it soon. James dressed the most conservatively of the three, dressed in all black with a hoodie, jeans and shoes, and always trying to look as inconspicuous as possible.[/indent] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [indent]Jackson is an avid gamer, with a preference for fighting games and smack talk, as well as a black belt in Tae-Kwon-Doe, which he takes very seriously and is always quick to prove to people that he's just as good as he claims. Other than that, he's a good test taker, able to ace most exams without even trying on things that have to due with logic or memorization of information, though when it comes to more critical thinking type problems, he tends to flounder a bit if he hasn't study the material. Michael loves to run, loves to climb, parkour, all kinds of things that require keeping the body active. He also likes to sneak up on people and scare them, or prank them with a little bit of sleight of hand and reverse pick-pocketing(a trick he learned from some less than reputable people after unwittingly helping them with some less than reputable things.) James is a more introspective thinker, and unlike Jackson, is actually a very diligent student instead of a good test taker, always making sure to study the material whenever he can(and feeling rather annoyed that his brothers can take advantage of his hard work just because they share the same mind and body). He also likes to draw a mix of realistic and surreal images in his sketchbooks, of which he's shown view people and is rather sensitive about showinh them to tohers.[/indent] [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] [indent]Growing up is tough, growing up with siblings is even tougher, growing up sharing the same body and mind with your siblings is hell. For as long as any of the DuCarthy brothers could remember, they've never had a single moment of real privacy, as they have always been with two other people constantly giving their opinions on early everything. Take into account that getting help for this kind of thing without being thogh of as absolutely insane is also quite damning, and for the first 8 years of his life, he had to deal with adults constantly trying to shove pills down his throat n order to solve the problem. It wasn't until their ninth birthday that people began to realize that maybe something else was going on, as that's the first day that they were able to switch bodies. It was a rather jarring experience for everyone involved when the usually calm, if lazy, JAckson suddenly started hopping all over the place like a jack-rabbit on steroids yelling "I'm free!" over and over and over again while other kids looked on in shock. After that, as they learned to more easily switch between each other, they noticed other powers begin to grow that were unique to them. Jackson found that he could create a strange silvery substance out of thin air that could change form and move according to his will. Michael manifested the ability to phase out of the world in a way, entering another plane of existence where he's most people can neither sense nor touch him. And James found that he could summon beings from another realm, whether that be his imagination or an entirely different world he had no way of knowing, and having them do his bidding. With these new discoveries in their abilities, their parents decided that the best thing they could do(after apologizing to the two sons hey did't even know they had) was to send the brothers off to Academy 218 to better learn how to harness their abilities. [/indent] [h3][u][b]Power Information[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Power Class:[/b] [INDENT] Super System and Other[/INDENT] [b]Power:[/b] [indent]Three-in-one. Super System Due to the fact that Jackson, who is the elected lead consciousness, possess heightened physical ability, being noticeably stronger than the average person, having a good deal more stamina, and also being able to calculate and react to things at a much faster rate than what is considered normal. In fact, his brain is much more powerful than that of most people and even some computers, allowing him to blaze through most problems with ease and store and recollect information with little effort. His brothers can help in this regard, adding their own efforts to speed up the process, as well as dealign with unwanted intruders. Since there is always someone inside of their head, that makes it much more difficult for someone like a telepath to try and read his mind or try and do something to him, as his brother's are always on the look out for such an intrusion. The DuCarthy's have also constructed a sort of mindscape with in their head, making things even more confusing for intruders as they go through different, sometimes even hazardous sections of their brain in order to find where the information they want is. If the intruder is able to slip past detection, however, then the mindscape will not appear, as it requires focus from at least one of the brothers to be brought into realization. Soul Projection: Jackson is able to manifest his soul into a silvery, mist-like substance that he can form into a variety of things, from knives, hands, hamers, blow torches, etc, etc. However, they come into two varieties: Physical and Meta-physical. Physical can be seen by all people and can effect the world around them, i.e. making a hand and using it to play two controllers at the same time or wielding a knife and stabbing someone with it. They can effect the real world in many ways, as he can crete fire with this substance, push people back with a shockwave, and so on and so forth. Meta-Physical, on the other hand, is more tricky, These things have to be symbolic of the effect they want to implant on someone, and only affect things that can understand that concept. For example, if Jackson were to make something to cause someone pain, he'd have to create something that symbolized pain and ave that person touch it. No real damage would be done, but they would feel as if they had just been hit with whatever kind of pain he intended to deliver. He can also use this to slightly sway emotions, putting suggestive imprints in peoples heads that, so long as they aren't aware of the influence, will have some difficulty resisting. These meta-Physical constructs are difficult to avoid because, like what they represent, they can't be seen, only felt. Astral Phasing: Michael has the ability to phase into another plain where only the products of the mind dwell, basically becoming a ghost or all intents and purposes. In this form, he isn't bound by the laws of physics and is unable to touch or be touched/effected by anything the solely affects things physically. This makes him excellent at stealth, as he can walk through walls and avoid detection and danger without any worry for his own well being(for the most part) and spy on people without the worry of getting caught. Another ability that he has is that he can meld with people by stepping into their body, and while this doesn't give him control of the person, he can control how they perceive the world, either by making them hallucinate, giving them phantom feelings, voices in their head, etc. etc. all five senses are viable to be messed with, plus, if the person has no mental protection, he can read their mind with no effort at all, as he techinically is and isn;t that person at that moment. Astral Summoning: James is able to summon creatures to his aid, whether t be for combat . . or because he wants to talk about his day. Due to his non-confrontational nature, it's usually the later of the two, as James first instinct in a fight is to run away. Of the three brothers, James is the most powerful and varied when it comes to straight combat, as his creatures tend to be very strong in that area. He currently is able to summon one of six creatures at any given time.

The nano-bots she creates can scan and recreate most objects, but it takes time depending on size and complexity. The max time it'd take is about a couple hours. The nano-bots are also able to interfere with technology, not really hacking as much as causing the hardware to malfunction, rendering whatever device encountered unusable until it can be repaired. He interacts with it through a form of telepathic link that is unique to his species, as is his mind. Whisper is highly resistant to mental abilities due to the fact that his mind is structured in a way that is vastly different and foreign to most humans. The nano-bots are very, very, very vulnerable to high-pitched noises and intense vibrations, making it impossible for them to hold any sort of function, which leads to them falling to the floor in a mess. [url=http://images7.alphacoders.com/393/393167.jpg]Bob[/url] is fast, has extremely sharp blades claws, average durability, but is rather strong, never stays still, very fidgety, likes to eat but is incredibly picky, even though he doesn't need to eat, easily distracted by things like TV, likes to watch people play video games, has a dangerous stinger tail, but no venom glands, probably removed. Still pretty powerful, however, as it can extend up to 5 meters in any direction with explosive penetrating force, can't go through thick metal, though. [url=http://images.forwallpaper.com/files/images/e/e0a0/e0a0993f/464050/cyber-warrior.jpg]Commando[/url] is 8 feet tall, is strict, rather fatherly, can fluently speak all languages due to armor having built-in translator, carries with him a huge gattling laser gun, futuristic shielding tech protects him from most conventional weapons, though things like rocket launcher will still hurt him, wears a armored enviro-suit that protects him from most environmental dangers and gives him resistance to heat and cold, but if he gets hit by a strong enough electrical charge, shielding will give out, and he'll lose the stimulants that allow him to be strong enough to move in it. This makes it so that his speed, which is average running for normal humans, becomes slowed down to a shuffling crawl. Armor by itself is resistant to most forms of low-caliber fire, but high caliber stuff will go through it rather easily, especially with something like a sniper-rifle. [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/ca/4d/0b/ca4d0b29919bb383ad33297760e37d7b.jpg]Chiller[/url] is slightly stronger than your average human, likes to make ice sculptures, can generate strange form of ice that is silver-ish in color and rather hard to melt and break, it's touch causes frost to cover things, if something gets completely covered in frost, it'll be frozen, frost coverage is slow, but very painful and hard to get rid off and only grows while Chiller is in contact with subject. He also has a strange attraction to human women, tends to stalk them if James doesn't remind him not to, weak to intense flames, but any low to medium powered flames will be extinguished by his presence, is always surrounded by cold air, sometimes snow falls if there is enough humidity [url=http://computerwallpapers.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/wpid-Creature-Wallpaper-1475.jpg]Silver[/url] is 7 ft tall, able to summon a huge ass sword, is basically a giant suit of walking armor, so it can keep a person inside of it, the armor itself is ridiculously durable and able to absorb impacts rather well to, but it's weak to electricity, ice, rapid down wards shifts in temperature. Fire and heat don't seem seem to bother it, or whoever's inside, claims that it lives around a sun, has a habit of busting through doors, never tries to open them, is extremely dense and heavy, so he sinks like a stone in water. [url=http://forwardpictures.com/new_design/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/creature_horror.jpg]Crawling Jaw[/url] is about the size of a Monster Truck, has thick skin that is resistant to low caliber bullets, human-like intelligence, able to track scents with it's tongue, it's tongue is able to launch over 100 meters and is barbed, Greatly Superior strength, relentless hunter, faster than it looks, but still kinda slow. [/hider] [/indent] [b]Limits:[/b] [indent]Jackson is unable to manifest or make use of his power outside of a 5 meter range, and for using his Meta-Physical constructs, that range is lessened to to 3 meters. He also can't use this power much defensively, as his solid constructs aren't stable enough to take direct contact. He also needs to have a certain amount of focus to form his constructs, so if he's currently suffering from good deal of pain or is otherwise unable to focus on his ability to sufficient degree, he can't use it. Michael can only stay in his phase form for a maximum of 10 minutes before he has t return to the physical plane, and the longer he tries to stay past that time, the harder it becomes to phase back in. Also, while his Phase form is usually undetectable, those who can sense people either through their Metahuman energy or have a Cerbral Power can sense him rather easily and same can even attack him directly while he's in this state, which he has no way to defend against other than phasing out of the world. James can only summon one creature at a time, and summoning takes about 5-10 seconds of focus to accomplish. Also, after he's summoner a creature, he must wait up to another day to summon that creature again, and about a minute before he can summon another creature again if he sends one back or they die.[/indent] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [indent]Jackson has to be careful when using his Meta-physcial constructs because, before he can pass the feeling to someone else he must first experience it, and hold unto that same level of intensity until he's able to pass it on to the next person. That means that if he wants summon to suffer a great deal of pain, he has to feel that same level of pain, and if he's not careful, this could cause him to lose focus on the construct and thus have it disperse before he gets the chance to use it. This makes it so he's very weary f using Meta-physical constructs to hurt or harm others, or even use them in the first place. Michael is completely unable to interact with the world physically in his Phase form, and when he melds with another person, he'll suffer any injuries they suffer while they're melded and those will persist into the physical world. This also means that if he were to meld with someone as they die, he'd likely die as well. Also, when he infiltrates the mind of a Cerebral through melding, he can get trapped by them, and as a result, be completely at their mercy until they decide to let him go. Fortunately for him, melding doesn't count towards his time limit(thought it doesn't count against it either) so he doesn't have to worry about someone trapping him int he mental plane by keeping him trapped inside their head. If one of James creatures die, he suffers from a very violent mental backlash, leading to violent spasming throughout his whole body and temporary paralysis. also, James has a telepathic bond with his summons, so if somebody enters the mind of one of them, they have a quick access point into the DuCarhty's head without having to go through the hassle of the other brothers.[/indent] [h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Family:[/b] [INDENT][/INDENT] [b]Dynamics:[/b] [indent]Basically your character's relationship with other characters.

However, when it comes to helping others, whether they're his friends, enemies, or strangers, he'll do so without hesitation, never willing to just leave things be. [*]Michael is the most sociable of the three, having a charmingly energetic personality and always eager to meet new people. And while he is all these things, he's also a few others as well:Cold, Calculating, Ruthless. Michael is willing to do anything and everything to further his own goals our protect his brothers, and will gladly submit people in his way to great amounts of psychological torture in order to break them, or get them to back off. [*]James doesn't interact with people, often giving only stony states of silence to those who attempt to do so. This do more towards his not really knowing how to interact well with people rather than wanting to be alone. That being said, he doesn't want to have a lot of friends, just one or two goods ones beside his brothers and the creature he may or may not be pulling out of his own head. [*]While Michael is the athletic one, Jackson is the one who loves to compete, and can't deny a challenge, no matter how badly he might lose or how stacked the odds are against him [*]None of the brothers tell people about the existence of the others, so except for the teachers and any friend's they might have, most people tend to be confused by the varied personalities they tend to have. [*]The brothers decide who gets to control the body through Rock-paper-scissors [*]James tends to spend most of his time alone talk ing to Whisper, his first summon and best friend, though sense most people never see whisper, it looks like he's talking to himself. [*]All of the brothers have a habit of talking out loud hen frustrated with each other(well, Michael always speaks out loud when talking to his brothers). so again, most people think they're crazy. [*]Jackson has resigned himself to the single life, as he doubts he could ever get a girlfriend when he's literally three people in one body [*]Jackson secretly resents his brothers for that, as well as being the only brother to figure out how to guard his thoughts from the others [/list][/hider]
