Marshall is. And I'll actually follow through this time.

Hmm... quick question... does ice count as water?

@Indra I'm not a GM, but it's my understanding that ice is a subset of water, but you could have your character specialize in ice. I'm not sure if that would mean s/he could still manipulate liquid water/water vapor as well or not, though.

My teacher character specializes in ice and is still allowed to manipulate water, I believe the same goes for students.

Correct on both.

Name: Klaxon
Age:15
Element: Blood

Appearance:



Personality: Klaxon can come off as cold or aloof to some people, but she's more of a laid-back person who's really hard to anger or tick off. Klaxon is a strange mix of both lazy but also very hard working when something important comes up, or something catches her eye, or she's properly motivated, she will work as hard and to nearly any length of time to get what she wants. While she's been at the academy now, she's been ditching some of the boring classes while attending others that seemed more fun to her or ones that didn't make her fall asleep, she feels confident enough in most of her basic knowledge that she thinks she doesn't need to go to the basic classes and have to take them feeling like she can simple shirk going to the boring classes. It's no secret that Klaxon is into rock music, she carries her electric guitar everywhere she goes to be ready to play it on a moment's notice with its case amp on her back and if it's not on her expect her to play some air guitar once in a while to try and sate her itch.

When it comes to a fight Klaxon sees her self as a more of a street fighter and nearly forgets her element at times, when she does she resorts to using anything she can get her hands on if not her fist, she isn't a clean fighter either using dirty fighting tactics such as kicking dirt or sand at people, biting, and even hitting below the belt to get the upper hand. Being on the street most of her life taught Klaxon that she shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, and to look out for others who do something for you back.

History: Klaxon or whatever her name is was abandoned by her parents when they learned she had an elemental ability but the tech elemental that predicted the element didn't specify which one. On her own, at such a young age she was taken in by a small gang to parent her while they weren't the nicest people they did try to raise her to be a good person, but the day a rival gang was kicking the crap out of them Klaxon's element came to life and she used it to help the others, but the moment the fighting was over they looked at her with animosity in their eyes and quickly showed their disdain leaving her by herself once again. Being by herself again Klaxon was homeless but did small odd jobs daily to make enough money to at least eat while sleeping on benches and in alleyways like a bum, as she wandered around one day she found a music store with the store owner playing a guitar solo ripping on the strings and it was love at first sight, not for the store owner but for the guitar he was playing, she was smitten by the instrument.

For the first time, Klaxon worked hard and even went hungry for a few days before putting down all of her cash on the guitar and amp case that came with it, once it met her hands she played the strings terribly at first, but she got better with time. One day as she was drifting about, a group of anti-elemental racist chased after a woman with pitchforks and torches at the ready, well figuratively, not wanting to see an innocent person lynched, Klaxon chased after the mob and caught up to them showing off her blood element but she was horrible at using it the angry mob surrounded her, beat her, stomped on her, and spat on her. The moment everyone was gone she struggled to get to her feet and was glad they didn't steal her guitar, she knew that if she wanted to stay alive, she would need to learn how to use her element better or learn how to fight better. So she went on a journey, drifting farther than she usually would find some sort of ancient master or some secret school she could learn from, she even asked around being careful not to tell too many people of her element and got answers from a shady guy, the Shady fellow told her to wait while he made a few calls, then told her where they would pick her up when the ride arrived Klaxon felt as if she woudld get the crap kicked out of her and robbed for the last bit of stuff she had but was surprised by the long ride they took to the academy and the moment they were there, the first ever meal she had in a long time was given to her and for the first time she wasn't afraid of showing her element.

Equipment:
A shiny gray guitar case with built-in amp.

An onyx colored guitar.

@Zelosse Gid could show off.... He could like, I dunno, make an animated earth elephent, or some such thing.

Valeria's still ready to go!

Also, glad to be back for real. Will probably get something up for Vera tomorrow.

Which of you all is still in on this?

I've been behind on all my RPGs. Family things. Also, I can't see any reaction from Zeke that doesn't involve him crying in a corner. He's not a conflict person.

I am so sorry, I have no Idea where I am in this, I hope my absence has not been detrimental

@Zelosse
I'm still in this.

@Regitnui I have ways around this. Killing each other isnt the goal. Coordinate with crusader, have it be a contest of elemental strength. Construct a target and defend it, rather than be the target.

I'm sure Luanne will enjoy seeing how far light goes against dark unconventionally.

@RoccanIronclad all good. We're starting a 1 on 1 little fight right now. If you arent paired up already let me know and ill pair you with another.

Still here, but been busy. My next post will have ShiZhen ask not to participate in the next part due to exhaustion and pain, and will have Catherine hovering around looking for dangerous situations to intervene in.

Also, I noticed blood was a sub-element. Could you explain that in more detail please? I hadn't realized it was there, but I thought of one way for ShiZhen to overcome her physical weaknesses in the future was by manipulating the 'humors' in her body (one of which would be blood) since 'humors' are comprised mostly of water; Similar to Luffy's Gear Second, if you're familiar with One Piece.

@Regitnui Yeah, we could work an idea out if you'd like. :)

@Zelosse

I appreciate it but I think I have to back away from this, I hope that doesn't cause you issues.

@RoccanIronclad not a problem. Take it easy!

@Stern Algorithm I'm afraid I can't go into detail. I'm no doctor, so to say the limitation on blood is ypur imagination isn't far from the truth. But to manipulate the water in your body is extremely dangerous. It opens up the implications that you can manipulate the water in everyones body and thats something i wanna avoid.

Gonna try to get a post up today sometime later probaby 3 my time or sometime after that.

@Zelosse We are writing.
