Not even Indiana Jones will save you now.

Also, I think I forgot to mention one thing to you and everyone else. The fact that genetics are tied to superpowers is not public knowledge at the moment. Only some people that are a part of ATLAS and the government will have access to this information. I'll read the rest of your sheet now, but right now, the only problem I have is that he knows that genetics are tied to superpowers.

Oh, okay! I'll take that out then ^_^

Rereading the intro, that makes perfect sense. Sorry about that.

And part of me realized there was some information I probably forgot to include (i.e. that no one would know where Palladium Academy is or that it exists, save for people who attend the school or live on the island, but even then they would only know that it exists... and the fact that ATLAS has multiple operatives out there who either have superpowers or not who keep a look out for potential candidates for one of ATLAS' academies, or superpowered people who seek to use their powers for more selfish reasons.)

I'll get to adding that in. If your character has superpowers, their family would probably be approached by an agent if they were non-powered humans. If they were a part of a superpowered family, then they would probably receive a letter of invitation instead... I think I covered all my ground here.

Okay, so add an agent coming to tell the parents about the school. Anything else I need to change?

I understand this staff member may be a bit unconventional and maybe not what you have in mind, but I figured the fun will be worth the chance. Also seeing as there are two regenerative types, it makes sense for a bodily power teacher.

Here's my awful boy. I may be pushing his power level a bit much, but let me know and I'm willing to discuss it so he can be accepted.

@Pirouette Okay, I gave your sheet a thorough read (I'm a very fast reader), and there's a few things that come to mind. I'm gonna let Savo and Rune tackle some of the other things they brought up, but I have one big problem with her sheet:

To put it simply; it makes little sense for Margaret to be a teacher. Like, personally-wise, she is literally the last option I'd choose for a teaching role. She is described as demented, childish (but also intelligent, but idk), while also having a bloodlust. I just can't buy her as a teacher.

@Kiyran Galen is p good in my book... I just don't get the connection between pain manipulation and regeneration (The regeneration seems a little tacked on to me, but that's just my opinion).

@wxps350 Your characters are really gay accepted. They're pretty cool in my book.

@Surtr

I see what you mean. It was meant to be his body's reaction to his ability, allowing him to heal people with somewhat severe injuries without completely incapacitating himself for long periods of time. It's more of a self-preservation thing than anything else. If need-be I can change it to where he only regenerates when healing wounds he got through Sacrifice, rather that all wounds he receives.

Also, for anyone who might be confused at the full sign and the lack of characters to some degree, this is for people who expressed interest in the interest check. We have literally twenty-one members and three gms... so yeah, that's a whole lotta people.

So yeah, for those in the interest check who made it in before I closed it all, post your characters here! If you didn't express interest, I'll add you to a list of people who I will invite to the roleplay once it's open again. I also added slots, which means not everyone who displayed interest will be getting a spot. If you don't manage to make it, I'll put you onto the list of people to invite to the roleplay if it opens again.

That's all for now, ciao everyone! I've got posts, characters, and information to get down!


I hate being the bearer of bad news, but the RP is currently full at the moment, for those who expressed interest in the Int. Check. We'll keep you on a list in case we need someone else for the RP, but at the moment we're full and can't accept the character.

Everyone else: I'm working on reviewing CS's. Boy, we got a lot in a short amount of time. I'll try to have my thoughts and stuff up soon, promise!~

@Dead Cruiser Okay, I gave his sheet a read over, while his personality/history is... okay, I think he's overpowered. Like, he has waaaaaay too much in his powerset. On one hand, you give some pretty impressive physical abilities that would be strong on their own. Strong, sharp claws that can cut through metal, can move very fast and dodge bullets (which is preeeeeeetty bullshit), a poison, and a variety of other moves.

Then, you add on the mind powers. Which allow him to control people to a small (but very noticeable) extent, and induce hypnotism - but before I continue, let me go on about this real quick: powers like this will never end well. Because, one; nobody wants their character to be controlled, and two; everyone has a different interpretation of such abilities. You'll never be able to use it the way you envision without either powerplaying (or basically telling people how they should write their characters), or a shitstorm starting.

And I think it's dumb.

But, his mental powers have a lot tacked on when, once again, it feels more natural for him to have illusion powers? Maybe telepathy, too? He can fire psychic blasts, and create telekinetic explosions.

Like, it would be cool if he had one of theses (toned down, yeah), but both is unacceptable in my eyes. I'd honestly suggest cutting all of his physical abilities, and focus on his mental ones, because that's what feels natural for his character. And nerf his mental powers.

I don't think she's a bad character (well, I think she's a little edgy, but hey), I just don't think being a teacher would be natural for her. I see her as a student brought here to control her bloodlust or weird ghoul powers (which I think are cool, but some of the others have concerns).

@Surtr

Personally, you could just merge both abilities together, and that'd work better in my eyes. Up Sacrifice a bit so that he transfers wounds to himself, and then regenerates them. You can also keep the regeneration that way. He'd fill a better role power-wise in my opinion that way.

@Surtr Can we take the discussion to PMs? I don't want to clog the thread, and there are some plot considerations I'd like to discuss privately.

They were meant to be different facets of the same ability anyway, so that works fine ^_^

How's he look now?

Merged the 2 abilities together. I can increase the effectiveness of the regen part, but I thought that might be overpowered.

@wxps350
Alright, just my two cents

Báihuā and Samson seem good to go from what I see. I don't see any glaring issues at least, and the abilities seem fairly balanced. You have the official Rune Seal of Approval!~

Feel honored~

@Kiyran
After the changes made, I don't see anything wrong with Galen~

*Stamps seal of approval*

@Pirouette

Oh boy a character that's going to be Meredith's best friend~

Alright...so teacher. That's cool, and I expect them to be a biiit more powerful since well. @Surtr already mentioned her personality, so I'm not going to say anything about it.

What I take a bit of an issue with is her ability to create what is essentially zombies. All the other abilities are A-okay to me, but that seems a little...jarring to me. Her ability to basically be a zombie, take hits, and modify her body is already a fairly powerful ability in and of itself, I think. You're basically spawning tough-to-kill bullet sponges that in my opinion could classify as a somewhat powerful entity in its own right.

I don't mind the ability in and of itself, but teachers are just supposed to be above average in power. What exactly are the limitations on this ability of hers? A number amount she could control at a time? I think it might just be a bit much to start out with honestly, but if neither of the others have too much of a problem with it I'm not going to say too much else.

@Dead Cruiser

I have pretty much the same opinion as @Surtr on this matter, so I'm not going to re-hash what has already been said.

@Suku

Hmm...so, basically small scale hypnotism. Alright, I can dig that at least on the scale it is and how it's applied. Simple enough, so you get my seal of approval.




Phew, I foresee a somewhat long night ahead of me...hopefully I didn't mess anything up or miss anyone.

SO!

I think that's everyone...just wait for both of the others to give ya the go-ahead before posting in the CHAR tab.
