@Polaris North

I understand, but being that this a power RP. And I really don't like absolute powers or powers without limitations, it gives me the ability to maneuver in the RP.

By giving it specifics, just say like DnD, it means members can't pull things out of their ass. I am not saying you will, btw. Sadly RPing in the past a lot of my specific rules are because of experiences in the past.

Specific details allow me to reference to the sheet and not have a member going

"no he can hit the helicopter with his fireball"

"the helicopter is flying away"

"yeah, but he can throw his fireball at him"

"how?"

"because he can"

This gives me a way to know what your character specifically can and cannot do, so there are no arguments, no problems in the IC with distant, radius, time or duration of abilities. This gives your power clear structured limitations.

You're already accepted. But I do like to have them and I have my reasons for them. It prevents god modding, or prevents um what's the term....when a member does something to always win because their powers have no limitations and "just can do it".

@AngelofOctober

Ah, yeah, I get the reasoning. It's perfectly understandable. It's just that I'm just not very good at dealing with it. I tried at least.

Anyways, thanks for the approval.

I'm interested. If you're willing to accept me, I can begin work on a CS.

That probably won't be done til this evening.

@Polaris North
And if you need any help I am more than willing to help. I do not ask for everyone to be perfect and have something perfect. We do what we can. And when we need help we ask for help. And rely on each other. Because this is a group effort. I appreciate that you tried. So thank you.

@dereken

Yep. Welcome along

@AngelofOctober
Awesome! If you don't mind, I think I'll send you a rough draft first, and then you can tell me what needs work, and then I can post it proper.

That work fine?

@dereken

Absolutely works for me.

Is it too late to get in on this?

Is it too late to get in on this?

Nope

Name: Dominic Bentham

Alias: Azazel

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Appearance: Sandy-blond-haired, with brilliant yellow-green eyes. Decently fit (not a bodybuilder by any means, but clearly someone with an active lifestyle). Caucasian. Lean in appearance, with an almost absurd number of burns and scars over his body. His features are generally thin (narrow nose, angular face, etc.) He's of about average height, and a bit underweight, due to his semi-nomadic lifestyle. Wears a loose sweatshirt with a hood that's big enough to shadow his face, and long sleeves to hide his scarring.

Personality Strengths: Dominic has a near-debilitating love for mankind. He's an empathetic man who has a lot of faith in people, despite his difficult background. Perhaps his greatest strength is his drive, his motivation to survive and aid others, despite the constant pain that can be caused by this attitude.

Personality Flaws: Dominic is severely self-conscious of his appearance, as most of his skin is marred by the scars of injuries which he took onto himself to save others. He's also fairly blunt in conversation, which often leads others to believe that he dislikes them, despite this often being exactly the opposite of his feelings. While he has a lot of faith in people as a whole, he has a bleak outlook on life, as he's seen the world beat him down time and time again.

Powers: Any injury sustained by Dom can be transferred to another person through skin-to-skin contact. He has slightly increased pain tolerance, and his ability works both ways; he can also heal others by taking their injuries onto him. The caveat here is that injuries can only be transferred directly: for example, a broken arm could not be turned into a broken neck on someone else. He's also incapable of growing back limbs, and any injury to his person still leaves a mark, and sometimes a phantom pain. To give a scenario: Someone shoots Dom in the left leg. If he tries to transfer the injury to someone without a left leg, it won't do anything, and he'll still be bleeding. Any blood lost will have to be recovered through either transfusion or the body's natural healing processes. Once he manages to pass the injury on, he will be left with a scar as though he had healed naturally, and the person it was transferred to will have the full effect of having just been shot. If the bullet lodges in Dom's arm, and then he passes his injury, his flesh will heal around the bullet, and he'll probably get lead poisoning.

Skills:
Major: Survival skills (Dominic has kept himself alive through difficult circumstances for several years. This has endowed him with a sense for when to cut and run, and when to stay and fight.) Reflexes (Being on constant alert is rough on the nerves, but excellent for staying on your toes. Dom is not easily caught off guard.) Hand-to-hand combat/brawling (This fighting method is practical for attaining skin-to-skin contact, and as such is conducive to Dom's ability. It's also rarely deadly, which is a significant benefit to someone as soft-hearted as Dom.)
Minor: Numbers (No genius by any means, but mathematics come easily, simply due to basic college classes.) Urban navigation (learned by necessity, as he survived on the streets for quite some time.) Singing voice (Not much to say here. He's pretty decent at singing, though he rarely makes use of this skill.)

Weapons: Switchblade (mainly to create injuries to pass on), empty Ruger handgun (for intimidation purposes).

Equipment: Backpack with most necessities, quality lighter, crappy tent that is basically his only home.

History: Dominic's life has been, up to this point, difficult. A college dropout, he lives in a tent in a secluded part of a city park, and works whatever jobs he can find to keep afloat. He's conflicted about hero-ing, as he's a deeply compassionate man, but his ability hurts a lot to use, and he hasn't really seen it have any positive effect on his city. Most of his hero-based activities are simple acts of vigilantism, which he does while carefully dodging real authority figures. His lack of any permanent connections also grants him a certain degree of freedom in his actions.

Dom first realized his ability when he drew his mother's bone cancer into himself in order to cure her. It wasn't an intentional act, and while he passes the damage from the disease into others as a weapon of sorts, he still carries the disease itself, as he refuses (from a moral qualm) to pass cancer on to anyone.

After a suspiciously unfortunate house fire, Dom was left homeless, family-less, and on the streets. He joined Rogue X as a last-ditch effort to improve his lot in life.

Theme Song: Hurt (Johnny Cash)

Theme Song: Hurt (Johnny Cash)

A good song, and thematically correct.
I like it.

Appearance: Sandy-blond-haired, with brilliant green eyes. Decently fit (not a bodybuilder by any means, but clearly someone with an active lifestyle). Caucasian in appearance, with an almost absurd number of burns and scars over his body. Wears a loose sweatshirt with a hood that's big enough to shadow his face, and long sleeves to hide his scarring.

This could describe just about anyone. Either you'll need a photo or add more to this description because I am not getting a very clear view of who he is. Facial features. What is a brilliant green color? Green can be so many colors, from brown greens to blue greens? Are his facial features pensive, board, squared? What is his height? What does he weigh? What does he sound like? Etc. I admire you want to write your own appearance, but I am going to ask for a bit more in that case.

Personality Strengths: Driven, self-motivated, persistent, empathetic.

Personality Flaws: Stubborn, often unpleasant in conversation, withdrawn. Dislikes intimacy of most kinds, as he's perhaps a bit too conscious of his injuries and their unsightly appearance. Bleak outlook on life.

There should be more than enough accepted characters, North, and Washing machine to know what I will accept in my personality sections and what I won't accept in my personality sections. This is one of the things I won't accept. Go look at Washing or North sheet to see what I would like. Clear, definable people, who feel like people, and not just a list of traits.

Powers: Any injury sustained by Dom can be transferred to another person through skin-to-skin contact. He has slightly increased pain tolerance, and his ability works both ways; he can also heal others by taking their injuries onto him.

This needs to be better defined. As I see many problems with it. It has the potential of power playing and it is a little broken. I did say that even healing abilities will require limitations. What wounds can he transfer? Are you really trying to tell me that if he's severally bleeding out, magic poof wound gone? Because I am pretty sure if you're heavily bleeding out it could be hard to focus, dizziness, shock, and other factors.

Skills:
Major: Survival skills, reflexes, hand-to-hand combat (brawling)
Minor: Numbers. He could probably count cards if he had to. Urban navigation, singing voice.

I am going to need more to go off of here. How does he actually utilize these skills? Where did he learn them? Etc.

Weapons: Switchblade, empty airsoft pistol (for intimidation purposes, as it looks real enough).

From personal experience. Working as an actor and at a haunted house, there is no way you can intimidate someone with an airsoft pistol. Law require all fake weapons have an orange tip or light green tip. Even air soft guns come with this.

History: Dominic's life has been, up to this point, difficult. A college dropout, he lives in a tent in a secluded part of a city park, and works whatever jobs he can find to keep afloat. He's conflicted about hero-ing, as he's a deeply compassionate man, but his ability hurts a lot to use, and he hasn't really seen it have any positive effect on his city.

You failed to mention Rogue X in your history. How did he come to them or join them?

@BrokenWashing

Thanks! I've been working on this character for a while, actually, and I can't wait to use him!

I am still finishing up on Serenity. She's back on page 2. But she has her powers, personality, theme song, and appearance up. God her appearance was annoying.

Sorry my character sheet is so image and spoiler heavy. And so wide.

I'll try and get my char up today, tomorrow at the latest.

@Duoya

No rush. Take the time you need.

I'm just going to offer my two cents and a couple of possible solutions on some of the points you made.

Law require all fake weapons have an orange tip or light green tip.

I'm pretty sure the whole transferring wounds onto people thing isn't exactly legal either. He could either have removed the tip or painted the whole thing black.

This could describe just about anyone. Either you'll need a photo or add more to this description because I am not getting a very clear view of who he is.

Yeah, he made me draw a picture for mine, but I have to agree that it's quite vague.

You failed to mention Rogue X in your history.

I didn't either. Should I have?

I'm pretty sure the whole transferring wounds onto people thing isn't exactly legal either. He could either have removed the tip or painted the whole thing black.

First off, it's easy to tell the difference between an airsoft gun, and a real one. I say this having owned multiple guns myself, as well as having known people from the military with even more guns. Painting it black, it's obvious, because one, the tip is still shaped like a toy. Cutting it off, You can see the part that's missing, and also: It's not the same design as any gun in existence. Even the airsoft guns based off of real guns have to have differences to prevent the "just paint it black/cut off the tip" thing. You'd have to be a super gullible idiot to believe an airsoft gun is a real one.

I didn't either. Should I have?

Probably.

I'm pretty sure the whole transferring wounds onto people thing isn't exactly legal either. He could either have removed the tip or painted the whole thing black.

True, Marvel is still in America. And America law still states fake guns need to have an orange or lime green tip. And if you mess with this tip in any way you are in violation of a felony.

Yeah, he made me draw a picture for mine, but I have to agree that it's quite vague.

I didn't make you. And I like your photo. I still appreciate you did it.

I didn't either. Should I have?

That was my mistake. So it's not your fault. I have been in a lot of RPs with superpowers. And they all die at the introduction phase, the "hi I am new to the X-men, my name is so and so"

"well my name is so and so and I do this power"

So I often sort of start off that they all know each other. So we can get over that hurdle. They just know each other. Been working with each other for however long you want them to.

But that was my fault. And I am not holding that against you. I fucked up. Sorry. So you don't have to change your history. One or two new people is fine.

I was just kidding about the whole drawing thing.

Name: Chibi

Alias: N/A

Age: Indeterminate

Gender: Cute (appears genderless)

Appearance

Chibi stands at an adorable 26 inches. It's fur is feathery soft, and its eyes are adorable.

Personality Strengths: Chibi is an incredibility curious creature. He will investigate anything that doesn't pose an immediate threat. He is also a fun loving being, willing to play with anything he can.

Personality Flaws: Chibi is an incredibility curious creature. He will stick his nose into anything he had never seen before; This can vary between the freshly delivered pizza, or the interdimensional gateway device. Additionally Chibi is extremely playful, and will play with nearly anything, from the aforementioned pizza to others personal items.

Powers:
Walking Garbage Disposal: Chibi can really pack away the calories. It can eat almost anything. Strangely enough it never changes in size, nor does it ever seem to use a bathroom. Rogue X has been unable to discover where the consumed items end up. It has been postulated that Chibi can swallow a small explosive (i.e. a grenade) and survive; This remains untested and is merely conjecture.

Oh... Thats where it goes: With a massive exertion of will, Chibi transforms into a massive

Using the energy stored from his diet. This expenditure of energy changes the color of its skin from light brown to blue, and it's fur becomes coarse and changes to the color white. Its strength increases to match its now monstrous 9 feet (standing upright) gorilla form.

Rogue X testing indicates that in this form he is capable of lifting 3000 lbs (normally: 600 lbs); Max run speed of 24-27 mph (normally: 31-34 mph); And is durable enough to withstand some small arms fire. (5/6 9mm bullets at medium range, less for higher calibers; Impacts can still do damage, bruising, bone breaks, etc. Though the muscle mass decreases likelihood of the latter.

Initial transformation costs Chibi approximately 416 kcal(1,750 kJ) and approximately 138 kcal(583 kJ) per minute afterwards. This has only been measured up to 15 minutes (Total of 2500 kcal/10,500 kJ) the longest Chibi has sustained the transformation. The transformation back to its smaller form costs approximately 1250 kcal(5,250 kJ), and leaves Chibi in a weakened state. (It is capable of fleeing, but would be considered feeble in a fight.) The less time it spends in the Gorilla state the stronger Chibi is after returning to it's cute state. This leads to the hypothesis that extended periods of time would require even more kcal/kJ, not only to transform back but per minute; Further conjecture theorizes that there will be additional jumps in cost per minute.

Do to dietary limitations Chibi can only transform once every three to four days (If uses a full 15 minutes.) Given its unique genetic anomalies it has been theorized that Chibi can transform if it absorbs enough electrical energy; It is unknown if this energy has to be ingested or can be applied externally.

Skills: Major Skills:
Monkey Climbing: Being shaped like a monkey allows Chibi to climb as though it was "going out of fashion." It's an expert free climber, and master of the ancient art of Parkour.

Prehensile Tail: Being a monkey is like having five hands. Well four hands and this neat length of intelligent rope. Chibi can use his tail for anything from hanging himself from a tree limb to pulling the trigger on a stationary gun.

Monkey Fu: To assist in protecting his owner/partner Chibi was programmed with the five variations of the Tai Shing Monkey Kung Fu. Which he uses exclusively in monkey form.

• Drunken Monkey uses a lot of throat, eye and groin strikes as well as tumbling and falling techniques. It incorporates a lot of false steps to give the appearance it is defenseless and uses a lot of off balance strikes. The practitioner waddles, takes very faltering steps and sometimes fall to the ground and lies prone while waiting for the opponent to approach at which time a devastating attack is launched at the knees or groin areas of the opponent. In drunken monkey you use more internal energy than any other. It is one of the more difficult of the monkey styles to master and also extremely effective against a standard, attack-oriented enemy. Countering this style involves shifting your body around often to ensure that the Drunken Monkey user impacts more solid, tougher areas of your body.
• Stone Monkey is a "physical" style. The practitioner trains up his body to exchange blows with the opponent - Stone Monkey uses a kind of iron body method. It will leave an area exposed on its body for an opponent to attack, so it can attack a more vital spot on the body. It is important not to attack reflexively at open spots, and try to hammer away at their weak spots until they give in.
• Lost Monkey feigns a lot. Practitioners of Lost Monkey give the appearance of being lost and confused to deceive the opponent into underestimating his abilities, and he retaliates when it is least expected. The hands and footwork change and flow from each other at will. All monkeys are sociable animals and so they live in troupes or family groups. They are also very territorial by nature and so when they wander into the territory of another troupe there is normally a fight possibly resulting in death to the trespassers. This technique incorporates the fear, nervousness and mischief of a monkey who has wandered into a neighboring territory, in that it attempts to pick and eat as many fruits and insects as quickly as is possible while nervously looking around before scurrying back to its own home range.
• Standing Monkey or Tall Monkey is a relatively conventional monkey that likes to keep an upright position and avoid tumbling around. This style is more suited for tall people. Tall monkey likes to climb body limbs to make attacks at pressure points. It is a long range style.
• Wooden Monkey mimics a serious, angry monkey that attacks and defends with ferocity. The attitude of this monkey is more serious, and its movements are noticeably less light than the other monkeys. Wood monkey likes to grapple and bring its opponent to the ground.

Minor Skills:
Limited Vocabulary: Chibi has never been heard to say anything other then its name. However it can usually get its meaning across using inflection and charades.
Chibi: Due to its extremely cute appearance, Chibi is often underestimated. And can often get away with things others could not.

Weapons: Chibi doesn't carry weapons, though he is known to use makeshift weapons at times.

Equipment: Chibi wears a backpack and radio earpiece.

History:
Chibi wasn't born. It's life started in a laboratory, the result of yet another attempt at creating super soldiers. It's creator, Dr. Alonzo Patrick Espinosa, knowing the horrible outcomes of experiments using human test subjects chose to use monkeys.

Chibi was born to one of the test subjects and showed an enhanced durability and stamina. However there were strange genetic mutations as well. Deciding this particular subject was disposable, Dr. Espinosa chose to see if it could weaponize the creature.

He performed surgery on the monkey and installed a biotech computer in Chibi's head. The creature not only survived, but developed use of the computer in unexpected ways. Unfortunately for Dr. Espinosa, only those programmed into the computer appeared lethal.

Time and finances running low Dr. Espinosa made an attempt to sell his research. The highest bidder seeing only an adorable monkey in place of the genetically engineered assassin he purchased; Killed Dr. Espinosa and destroyed the lab.

Chibi escaped in the chaos. It wandered the alleys and back streets till it met its first friend and was finally named. It also learned to speak and discovered the limit of its vocabulary.

It was in defense of Chibi's friend that it discovered the unique ability that allowed it to escape the destruction of the lab. Unfortunately the transformation scared the friend away. However Chibi had discovered the joy of fighting crime. A path it followed until it was discovered and adopted by Rogue X.



*For the sake of my sanity and to make writing easier I will most likely write Chibi using male pronouns as I seem to think of it more in that way. (I keep trying to type he instead of it.)
