Alright, here's my app. Pretty sure there's formatting issues, but I don't actually know how to fix them. Tell me if it sucks in any other ways though!



┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
Adrien Clark

Oh, I'm sorry for worrying you... Are you alright though?

┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛[/center]

BASICS ✶-


full name / nickname(s)

Adrien Clark, Sadsquatch

gender / sexuality

Male, Heterosexual

age / grade level

17, 11th.

occupation

None. He wants to be a baker though.

physical appearance

Well, the most obvious part of his appearance is his size, in that he's huge, standing just under seven feet. He's also... kind of fat. Like, not morbidly obese, but fat enough for him to have gotten pretty badly bullied in his younger years. It's also enough to hide what would have otherwise been an impressive set of muscles, but is now only just visible in his arms.


-IN DEPTH ✶


personality

Adrien is a very soft-spoken young man, who finds it very difficult to believe in himself. He will rarely get angry, instead just feeling sad. Even when talking to people he's close to, he will seem oddly humble because of his confidence issues. That being said, he is often smiling, or at the very least trying to. He tries his best to be friendly, despite his fears.

superpower

Healing
Adrien has the power to heal both himself and other people. This works by speeding up the natural cell processes, causing them to multiply at an astronomically higher speed than usual. However, this is quite difficult, and if the cells are manipulated in the wrong way, it can cause tumours, or even worse forms of internal damage. Therefore, extreme caution is necessary. In addition, the task of speeding up the cell processes takes a massive amount of energy, often exhausting him to the edge of collapse after multiple uses. He can consume calorie rich food to 'recharge', although this is just a short term solution, and he will need to rest if he wants to truly regain his energy.

Muscular Reinforcement
Using an altered version of the cellular manipulation he uses for healing, he can strengthen his muscles. This leads to greatly enhanced strength. However, it also has a nasty tendency to crack, it even crush his bones between those muscles if he doesn't handle it properly, which is almost always the case at this stage. It also turns the skin around the reinforced muscles red.

backstory

Adrien has lived in New York City all his life, where his parents owned a bakery. Back during his childhood, he was a little more friendly. Still shy, but friendly. However, he was always fairly fat, and this unfortunately led to a decent amount of rather brutal bullying. Ever since that started, any confidence he may have had took a complete downturn, causing an even worse shyness than before.

That was his life for the next twelve years, living as the fat kid who wouldn't defend himself. The easy target. On the outside, he still kept up appearances, wearing his mild mannered smile out of fear that, if he showed his true feelings, it would make his parents worried, or worse, angry. Confrontation is something he prefers to avoid, and if they knew the extent of his bullying, they would go in the warpath. Still, beneath the surface, Adrien wished beyond anything else that something would come along to end the bullying.

And then the Barracuda Virus came, and he became terrified that, somehow, it was his fault. That perhaps something horrible beyond his understanding had answered his pleas. After all, a lot of his worst bullies ended up dying to the virus. Then again, so were his parents. And so was he.

His parents death struck him even harder than his misguided guilt did. Things only alleviated slightly when he too contracted the virus, and he realised that it wasn't something he caused. It was a disease. It was indiscriminate. It had no thought, no consciousness. He did nothing. As it turns out, the doctors told him that it was likely delirium from the early stages of the virus that led him to his original beliefs in the first place. Slowly, as he recovered from his disease, he also came back from his mental breakdown, becoming just that little bit stronger.

Now he lives with his grandmother, unfortunately having to sell the bakery. However, he wishes to buy it back and run it himself.


THE SURFACE ✶-


extracurricular activities

Adrien enjoys cooking quite a lot, and its one of the few things that truly calm him down. He also enjoys videogames, anime and just going on walks, usually in quiet, peaceful places.

supporting cast

His grandmother, Madeline Clark.

other

He has a kitten named Arthur, who was given to him by his mother not long before she died.

This link could help. There's a lot of really stupid powers you have to sort through, but sometimes there's a couple gems that can work.

It’s much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.- cred. Panic! At the Disco


✶ BASICS ✶-

full name / nickname(s)

Karishima Alazne Krashniqi/ Kashi

gender / sexuality

Female/Pansexual

age / grade level

17 years old/ junior

occupation

Works at the Café as a waitress / Volunteers at a community center/ / Wants to be a fashion editor-in-chief

physical appearance

A natural brunette, Kashi has been known to constantly dye her hair. However, she seems to have settled on a soft pale blue since her freshman year. Her hair is definitely a statement piece with it’s unique color. Her pin-straight hair falls till a couple inches above her hips and frames her face and body perfectly. Her face is angular and slightly heart-shaped. Her pale grey eyes pierce through a curtain of blue and are set beautifully against her brown lashes and eyebrows. She has full rosebud lips of a light pink which are almost always curled into a smile or a smirk. She is long and slim with almost no curves to her name, much to her chagrin.

A big portion of her appearance is tied into her clothing and fashion choice. Growing up poor, Kashi was forced to thrift and tailor her own clothing. In the beginning, she absolutely hated thrifting but eventually she fell in love with fashion and loves twisting old pieces into fresh looks. Her style, in a couple of words, is simple and clean. Never one to shy away from color, Kashi loves being daring and interesting with her clothing choices.


-✶ IN DEPTH ✶

personality

Kashi is always full of energy and determination. Her loyalty and sardonic humor endear her to her friends but her drive and uncompromising attitude can often come as a shock to many people. She is a bit of a perfectionist who loves to be in control and in charge of her life and it’s direction. With an eye for detail and a deeply intellectual background, it comes as no shock that Kashi is smart. Her British accent also aids in furthering her reputation as a smart, and capable girl.

She is a bit reserved to people she has never met and to outsiders it can be hard to distinguish whether she likes them or hates them. She also reaches lofty goals and is always pushing herself to do more. She believes that she is lucky to be here and therefore tries her best to take part in all activies to do them to the best of her ability.


superpower

Artistic Animation: She technically has the ability to bring inanimate objects to life and have full to partial control over those animations. The animations have their own sentience but so can exert a degree of control over them. As she grows in strength, her control and the amount of time she can animate the illustrations increases. However, right now her skills are quite rudimentary and as such, she can only animate for a period of about 10 minutes. She can either bring to life one single animation for the entire 10 minute period or, at most, 2 animations (one then the other) for the 10 minutes.

She can animate any drawings, illustrations and sketches. However, as of right now she can only animate things that she herself drew. There are some issues with her current animation. When brought to life, these illustrations often do not hold the qualities that she creates them for. Example: she draws Cerberus in order to attack a villain however, as Cerberus animates, he comes as a meek puppy. Not entirely helpful when fighting. Additionally, as she is still learning, she doesn’t have much control over the animations and so they are relatively uncontrollable as long as she keeps them animated.


backstory

Her parents are both Albanian-Kosovan but, during the late 90’s fled to the UK after the conflicts between the Serbian-Kosovan and the Albanian-Kosovan. Kashi was born and brought up in London until the age of 13 when her parents relocated to New York. At the beginning, she hated New York City. But over time has grown to love NYC. Her mother is a Professor of Slavic Studies, Comparative Literature at Columbia University and her father is an associate at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz.

When the virus came, it attacked her. Hard. Kashi swore she was dying. For weeks she was stuck in a limbo between light and darkness as her skin turned feverish and her body could hold neither water nor food for almost two months. Then one day, the virus broke. She woke up, hungry and with boundless energy to see the faces of her tired and distraught parents. She also woke up with random powers. She had been brushing her teeth when all of a sudden her toothbrush disappeared. That was a shock. Over time she realized that her powers were random and appeared whenever they wanted, but most especially when she was feeling deeply emotional.

After the jubilation she felt after she realized that neither she nor her family had died, she took stock of the city. With her family, she started volunteering at many of the shelters. Survivors guilt people said. But she just thought that it was her duty. Her family was one of the lucky ones.

Just realised I mentioned this in the Discord but not here, so here ya go.


If anyone wants a specific date, then next Saturday at the very latest. That's the 17th of February. Basically: take your time. You don't need to rush to get anything up, a week can go by very slowly. Don't think you're going to miss out because you didn't write your character in a single day. I'll add the application deadline to the 0th post just for future reference. Also I promise next time I won't neglect to post critical information in the OOC I'm sorry don't crucify me pls

Initially I thought the power would be a fun little joke to offset the likely more serious and cool powers but honestly I think the powers have the potential to be cool too.

And also fabulous. Which is a big thing for me.

Also I'm stalling but here's my character submitted for approval.
