Age: Appears ~35 Earth Years, his race ages very slowly. He's just reached maturity.
Gender: Male, Loren. His race is all male with Gors being the more aggressive and dominant "gender"
Appearance:
Corinth is a Vulux, a humanoid from a distant system in the galaxy. Vulux are an all male species with a wide variety of features. Corinth likes to appear more human as he has chosen this planet for his Journey. He has several tattoos, a dragon sleeve on his left arm and on his right bicep is the name Arien.
"So.. I'm actually pretty short compared to everyone else back home... By at least a foot. Here' they look at my two yunam- I mean 6'8" height and say I'm tall... It's kinda weird sometimes, but a Loren has to take what he can get."
Personality Strengths:
The metaphorical "hammer that strikes the nail." Corinth is straight to the point and doesn't take advantage of anyone. He is mature for his age and is very charismatic, despite his rather intimidating size. He has been related to a giant teddy bear by several people for how gentle he is. Corinth is rather adventurous, as he loves seeking out thrills of all kinds. Experiencing life on Earth is something he's never dreamed could happen, with all of the freedoms they have that didn't exist back home
Personality Flaws:
Corinth can be very absent minded at times, often seen marveling at the human's cultures and actions. Since his race is known for blunt honesty, he is very gullible, since he doesn't know that much about Earth customs. He has a very hard time expressing his emotions, as he in Vulux, that is something only Lorens like himself are expected to do. When dealing with others, especially males, Corinth tends to shut down, not rally comfortable with the situation until he warms to the person.
Powers:
Electrokinesis: All Vulux are capable of using a certain kind of energy once they hit puberty. Corinth has gained he power to manipulate electricity. However he can only hold up to 200kA of electricity(relatively a single bolt of lightning) at any given time. The more electricity he uses, the more tired he becomes, and using all of his power in a single strike could kill him. He is passively generating small amounts of electricity through eating and discharges excess through his weapon, which helps conduct the flow of energy. He is generally unable to keep using his power for more than thirty minutes, as he's still young. His power is strongest through physical touch, and he can temporarily freeze a target by drawing from their nervous system this way.
Combat Body: His body is much more durable and is immune to Earth's toxins and diseases. Has higher strength as well. "Haven't gotten sick once here. Guess its because of our different biology. Though it seems I'm just slightly stronger than you guys buy a thousand pounds. I think the Hulk or Juggernaut could be the only ones to go toe to toe with a mature Gor though... And I doubt even they could beat the Sages... They are like, actual monsters among the Vulux."
Major Skills:
Soldier: Trained by his First Father, a general in the Vulux army, Corinth is rather proficient in fighting. He is trained in most firearms, solely to see how their mechanics work so he can mess with them. "Trained with First Father ever since I was young... He was a pretty hard taskmaster. You'd think I'd get a little break with being his son and all.... Heh, no."
Physicist: He has spent a vast amount of time studying the effects of energy and matter, so much so that he is prone to studying his own powers in new ways, often creating some chaos around him. "I know you humans are a young species... But you're sciene is probably more diverse than ours.. I've seen some cool stuff back home, but this Einstein sounds like someone Lab Chief Invern would love."
Tactician: Being weaker than most of his kin, Corinth developed a mind for planning several moves in advance, and several contingencies as well. He used this to help secure his Journey off Vulux at such a young age. He is rather good at chess and his natural intimidating form helps keep potential "problems" at bay. "Fight hard, but smart. There is always someone more powerful than you, just have to be ready. Helps to be the biggest guy in the room, too."
Minor Skills:
Culinary: Being a Loren, he was expected to tend to the house and home unlike his First Father and brothers who are Gors. His Second Father taught him how to cook and grill and he's been able to translate these skills to Earth. He find the art of cooking to be a challenge, often creating new and exciting dishes from scratch. "Second Father always said that looks brings the Gor home, your cooking will keep him there. And damn, his hyian is divine..."
Multilingual: To prepare for his Journey, Corinth studied many of the languages on earth, to the point where he is fluent in English, Spanish, Japanese and American Sign Language. "What? I'm a Loren, they expected us to become scholars since we're small. I just learned so many since I was bored. Damn *mutters a swear in a Vort* gors always trying to *something in Vort* with the tiny Loren so I was stuck inside for days on end."
Musician: Corinth has amazing singing voice and a knack for instruments. Since he has arrived on Earth, he has gotten into the nightclub scene and occasionally does a gig locally as DJ Quasar. "We praise music where I'm from. Art is a fundamental part of Vulux culture. Some Lorens dream of using their art to gain audience with our Kings. Hell, that's how King Adjan and Consort Penx met."
Weapons: Being a Loren, he didn't have access to weapons. He generally carries a modified Oruki, which is simply a conductive spear made of a metal found on Vulux that is lightly stronger than adamantium. It can hold just as much as energy as he can in the Virulen Crystals embedded in it. It was a present from his First Father for use on his Journey.
Equipment: His suit has pockets embedded inside for his wallet and IDs. He always has his wallet on him and when not out in costume he's usually carrying his car keys and day to day stuff.
History:
A race of humanoids from hallway across the galaxy. They are all male in earth physiology, but have two Lux which is their version of gender. They are quite large in figure, with Corinth being the smallest Loren recorded in history. "It's kinda weird having some of my younger brothers towering over me by a yunam."
Gor: This Lux defines the true males of their species. They used to be very aggressive and territorial. They are incredibly strong and hardy warriors who love challenge. Gors are the undisputed rulers and make up most of the various armies. They are known for being domineering at times and brash. "The strongest Gor are known as the Dragons. behind them are the Sages, but there are a few Loren Sages."
Loren: Corinth has been cleared to mention that Loren are the more submissive and smaller Lux. They also are the ones who birth the children, but as he isn't a Gor, mating with other species is not possible. Loren are also weaker. "Doesn't mean I can't kick your ass."
Corinth is the middle child of five. He grew up being one of the smallest and weakest Lorens to ever be born, so much so that the records were pulled up to prove the fact by King Adjan, his grandfather. Corinth worked hard to prove that he was just as good as any Gor, working hard to raise his strength.
At a young age, Corinth's family was involved in the Ember Wars, which was a war over Loren Rights. Several Loren had an uprising because of the ethics of being forced into marriages they did not want, simply because there were fewer of them. While Gors can have children with each other, Lorens make the best breeders. The war was painful and swift, with several Kings being toppled because of unethical conduct such as polygamy and not wanting to follow the rules made after preventing them from having harems of Lorens. After the war, Vulux settled down and was rather peaceful, as the planet and its colonies usually are.
When he hit puberty, Corinth was known for being adventurous. So much so that he often went where he shouldn't have gone or got lost in Oiri(ohr-ee). His First Father often worried as he was a very small Loren and several Gor often made passes at him. None of them tried anything until he as almost an adult. a few cycles reaching maturity, he was assaulted by a Gor in a rival kingdom. He was pregnant with the child but due to complications with his health and since he wasn't fully mature yet, he lost his son due to miscarriage. He named his unborn child Arien. It's a sore spot for him since because he was able to have the child at all proved that he was an extremely fertile Loren, which several Gor kings wanted to have.
When he reached maturity he set off for his Journey, a path all Vulux take. The journey is to realize what one wants to do with their life. Having had a few bad cycles on Vulux after the loss of his son he decided to look off world for his journey. His Second Father mentioned that Earth was rather hospitable, albeit a bit behind them in technology, and Corinth chose it. He arrived and was promptly taken in by SHEILD who questioned him for a month on why he was there. When he proved that he meant no harm and was there not to cause problems, he was placed under watch in Chicago. He became a costumed vigilante because Chicago didn't have many and he wanted to help his new community. SHIELD wasn't too happy with it, but if a King from a planet where even the Nova Corps dare not anger tells them to back off, they obliged and let him do his own thing. When Rogue X was formed he was asked to offer support, which he did.

Alright, gimme the feedback, chief. Going for a culture shocked alien hero... Probaably shouldn't e doing this when I'm exhausted x.x
I'd be good with sub-arc 1. Maybe start off as a slice of life? Well, depending on how many people decide to join the trip, I'll adjust Garfield accordingly.
I know Umbra won't be going to a Haunted House. I forgot that in his extra dimension he resides mostly in a pocket dimension that exist within himself. "Umbra lives somewhere" lolo
And I am actually working on a Sub Arc 1 plot. So we may have some slice of life that becomes a message from Q.
I hate to do this man, but I gave you a second chance as I always tried to do this. For that I appreciate the effort in doing so. Thank you for stepping up and doing that with little drama involved as well.
But I am not feeling it. We already technically have 2 aliens, if Umbra counts, and it just seems sort of eh. Thank you for putting the effort to work with me at least.
So we have a Prologue as a 0th post on the IC, and I will get the 1st post of the IC later. I still need to hammer out Sub Arc 1 plot points. And I need to work on the villains on Sub Arc 1. I also need to do secret GM stuffy with the Nightmare Circus.
All righty ladies and gentleman, I have decided who I am going to have be my CO-GMs. Neo and Tybalt. I am not the type of GM to run off the face of the planet and leave you guys high and dry.
Treat both of them well.
Their main job is either to answer questions when I am not around. Both of you are allowed to add NPCs or Add Arcs at your leisure.
Next month and October I will be busy on the weekends. I will try, on the weekdays. Monday and Wednesday will be my free days and those will be the days that I update the IC or update Arcs or information. Or will get together with them to plot something.
Or if I start an Arc I will give them the unraveling timelines to deal with.
In November, I will be less significantly busy. And I will probably only need one co-gm again, it will be Neo. But I chose Tybalt based on activity.
The only reason why I am moving the IC and the OCC production so fast is so I can get everything established before I get busy. August is my last free month before my life explodes and exhaustingly so. Once the Haunted House season is done my life will go back to a mellow calm.
With that said;
I like to give flexibility to posting. I have no specific posting requirement. I do not like lighting mcspeed post. Once a week is the minimum I often require. Or at Least COMMUNICATE with one of us three. My CO-GM or Temp Co-GM, or myself if you cannot. The max I say is at least a couple post throughout the week.
I'll try to post daily but school starts back up for me in less than a week so I'm going to have to be less active in the night hours (now pretty much). I'm assuming from the activity of these posts that most others are from different time zones.

You don't have to post daily. Once a week is fine with me. As I often have multi RPs. So I dedicate a day to each RP.
