Hellooo everyone. Could somebody catch me up on what's going on and how people are going places?

@Thundercrash Welcome back! Basically everyone except Eli and Nate are in Eli's safehouse but they're right outside.

Oookay. I'll try and get myself oriented and have something up.

Name: Joseph Pine

Gender: Male

Age: 26

Place of Birth: Buckhead

Sexuality: Bisexual

Relationship Status: Single

Occupation: Paramedic

Power: Super Speed

Cost of powers use: To move at higher speeds, Joseph has to inflict a low voltage shock on his body, as this energises his body, and allows him to run faster, however, he has very little experience with his powers, and is susceptible to running into objects/tripping at high speeds.

Appearance:



Skills:
-Medical training
-Dirt Biking experience
-Charmer
-Adept fighter

Personality: He's a fun loving person and a thrill seeker. He's a sucker for anything high octane, but, he is also deeply invested in safety. This trait is what led him to become a paramedic, as he wanted to be like the people who saved his Mother's life.

History: Joseph was born in Buckhead to loving parents, his father a mechanic and his mother worked in the diner next to their apartment. Joseph and his Dad both shared a love of motorcycles, in fact, his Dad loved it so much, that he even bought his own.

2 years later, on the way home from work, his Dad was hit by an oncoming bus. He was killed instantly. Without the income from his Dad's job, Joseph and his mother were forced to move in with his Grandparents. It was because of this crash and a violent attack on his Mother's workplace, that Joseph to be like the people who tried to save, and saved both of his parents.

(So that's what I have, any pointers or dislikes? Please, any criticism is welcome! Or do you think it's gonna be accepted?)

@memetrash101

Kudos on the originality of your cost of power. Nearly everyone here has like "drained energy" or "headache/nausea".

(Please nobody hate me)

@memetrash101

w00t! Jon Snow ftw! Nice work bro.

Question: So does the amount of voltage determine how fast he runs, or is it just an arbitrary amount every time?

And yes, I agree with @Xandrya, because it's just life-threatening not to ;)

Although I can imagine he'd get a few good concussions or near-death experiences if he's prone to tripping at high speeds...

@Rawk Yeah, he's probably gonna have massive amounts of brain damage. I was going for that a higher voltage means he runs faster, but he can't, well, handle it? As in, he can barely run at 45 mph without running into a wall, so if he goes any faster, he needs absolute concentration or he's dead.

@Xandrya Thanks! I didn't wanna go with something everyone else had used, or something really bland. I wanted it to be something that he needs to have just the right amount of, or its game over.

Also, since I have my character as a relatively poor person, I was going to have him as the on hand medical staff. That sound good to everyone?

On hand to who? The group?

@memetrash101 Nate is a trained medic so he and Joseph will have something in common...Hopefully not too much in common though, as Nate's kind of an asshole.

@Subject Zero No, the gala? As in how he got his powers? But he could totally be the groups medic with Nate!

@Subject Zero How big of an asshole we talking here?

@Subject Zero How big of an asshole we talking here?

I'll let @Xandrya and @Rawk answer that one.

@Rawk You've got the floor.

@Rawk @Subject Zero Hey, I've skim read through the IC and I was wondering where in the area everyone is? Harlan or Buckland?

@Xandrya Hey, the others haven't got back to me yet, think you can help me out?

I know, I know, my jokes are not funny.

Anyway, @memetrash101, Nate is a Grade A asshole. Steer clear of him and don't make unnecessary eye contact.

EDIT: We're all in Harlan in some safe house.

@Xandrya Good to know, good to know. I just wondered because I have zero clue how my character (If he's even accepted) is gonna get out there from Buckhead. Any ideas?
