Or, barring that, to find something similarly cool in space. - ► Has plans to become an astronaut. Doesn't everyone?- ► Recovering from her past traumas would be nice, too.- | life at ritman high Ritman is one of Kenny's biggest regrets. The path she is on now is almost directly opposite of the path she was on then. Up until her senior year, Kenny punched in to school, went through the motions of school, then went home from school. Her friend group was a collection of boys and girls with similarly loose mindsets: playing games, going on hikes, etc. She surfed through high school life on a board of under-aged drinking and stupid, "do it, you won't" challenges. This general lack of enthusiasm also included learning to cook and clean, going to temple, doing laundry, and other adult tasks. Her problem wasn't a lack of intelligence, but rather a lack of motivation. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔The summer before her senior year, this motivation was provided in the form of a blackout, a coincidence, and a telescope. More specifically, on the night of the infamous "Delton Down" blackout of 2011, a summer night of riveting Super Smash Brothers with her crew suddenly turned into a dreadfully boring, quiet night. After the departure of her disappointed friends, the grumbling Kenny decided to quell her boredom with a walk through the town. At the same time, the Ritman physics teacher, Mrs. Fritz, was lugging a very expensive telescope down the street, a street which she just so happened to share with the Kagan family. Using a small amount of imagination, one can see the short, slender Mrs. Fritz calling out to the equally slim--but much taller--Kenny for aid. Kenny found herself carrying the telescope up one of the larger hills in the town, held hostage by a science grade which Mrs. Fritz claimed was still mutable. By the end of the journey, there was no way she wasn't going to look through the telescope. She saw the moon, magnified to three hundred times its size, and said "holy shit". Instead of chastising her, Mrs. Fritz elbowed her aside. Peering through the telescope, her words were "fucking beautiful." That was the moment that Kenny became friends with a teacher for the first time. Looking back, it was almost like Mrs. Fritz had meant to catch her that night. Their casual conversation that night continued the following school year, where a strangely invigorated Kenny found herself working harder in school, helping more around the house, and--shockingly--still having time to play games and hang out with her friends. It was like she'd become a superhuman, with her power being time management and caffeine consumption. Thanks to Mrs. Fritz's glowing recommendation, and a set of decent SAT scores, she was able to get into community college. That was where she really thrived, despite the extra year or so she lost to her peers at four-year institutions. She applied for a more traditional school, got accepted, and proceeded to power through undergraduate with a frightening speed. Masters came next, with a professor at CU Boulder taking her on. Then, the PhD. According to her professor, the rise was nothing short of meteoric, but the hissing voice of self-doubt in the back of her mind always prodded her about not trying harder. According to that serpent in her head, she was supposed to be a child prodigy, the greatest scientist who ever lived. That voice has always been loud in her mind. |
| ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ machine whisperer Kenny has the ability to speak to electronics. The exact limit of this ability is not known, as a telescope seems to count as much as an alarm clock. They speak to her in a variety of ways: some machines are human-like in their words, while others are simple, repetitive phrases. Powered-off electronics are still accessible to her, as are some unplugged machines. The power seems to function as a combination of a psychic link with the object, and an exchange of electromagnetic waves between herself and the receiving object. | ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ▼ s t r e n g t h s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► As mentioned, Kenny can speak to machines instinctively. She can extract information from them like time, location, images, and--in some cases--thoughts. Although Kenny can intuitively understand and converse with machines, a large part of Kenny's power comes being able to command these electronics/machines, not just listen to them. She can, for example, produce a short-circuiting CC camera, an enraged ice-maker, or a car which suddenly decides to start without the owner's key. If a firearm or tank were to be have a key electronic component, for example, Kenny might find herself with a great deal of power, if she can get a handle on giving the commands properly. ▼ w e a k n e s s e s▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► There are a few downsides to speaking to electronics. As is commonly known, computers tend to be stupid, even in the best of cases. The aforementioned tank was not built to be a supercomputer, and it most certainly was not built to interface directly with a human brain. A command to "destroy my enemies" would likely leave the poor tin-brained behemoth spinning in circles. Unless Kenny can send commands in a way that the device understands, she is limited to receiving data only. -Attempting to affect many large or complicated devices at once (aka a super computer or a fleet of cars) can lead to headaches, nausea, and loss of consciousness. Commonly used items are less problematic (a cell phone or game console is less difficult to manage than an aircraft carrier. Lastly, there exists a surprising number of machines in the world with a great deal of "intelligence". They have thus far lacked the ability to speak the same language as humans, but that is now changing. And, unfortunately, some of these machines are less benevolent, and more dominating, than others. |
psyche Kenny has changed much since Ritman, evolving from the laid-back, easygoing underclassman. After deciding to reinvent herself in college, she instead grew into herself as a ISTP, building things for shits and giggles and then moving on to the next project in an instant. She views herself as a battery, which other people tend to deplete. Talking to them is always a treat, but always exhausting. When she does let someone in, she tends to rely on them pretty heavily, and doesn't have much in the way of a filter. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔Unfortunately, after a devastating, mentally abusive relationship in which both she and her ex-boyfriend tore each other apart, she's picked up plenty of anxiety to feed the voice in her head telling her she isn't good enough. Around others, it's easy to ignore the voice, but when she's alone in her room, trying to relax, the memories of Oliver and the regrets she feels from her past tend to spring upon her in a fury. Without her small but powerful social structure to bolster her, it's unlikely that Kenny would remain stable for too long. She doesn't share well with strangers, and without her close friends to spill her problems to, the downward spiral would be a far stronger pull on her. |

► Kenny had a very satisfying, three-year relationship fall apart on her in the most toxic way about a year ago. The event has left more than a few scratches on her soul.
► Kenny has a very "am I, am I not" relationship with faith. She was raised in a Jewish household, but never really forced to be a part of the religion by her parents. Her grandparents tried, but whether or not they were successful is a topic hotly debated (by no one). Regardless, she finds herself praying every once in a while, using the smattering of Hebrew prayers and phrases she picked up along the way.

Quick questions:
How big is Ritman High? Are they in the class A bracket for sports? And do they have the stereotypical high school setting with the different cliques and hierarchy?

GM
Quick questions:
How big is Ritman High?
The building itself is roughly 9,500m² (metres, not miles), and in 2012 their enrollment was 498 students. There is an added 7,800m² from their football/sports field. An estimate of the entire school grounds would be 70,500m², which includes various external facilities.
Are they in the class A bracket for sports?
They teetered between class A and class B, but just managed to scrape class A.
And do they have the stereotypical high school setting with the different cliques and hierarchy?
Oh, definitely. Not as exaggerated as others you might've seen, I'd say (certainly no pet names for each clique like Mean Girls), but c'mon—they were teenagers. You had the people you'd hang with and the people you didn't hang with, and they all had their own stereotype.

@Mercenary Lord Don't worry, the gif thing isn't a dealbreaker.
As for the whole powers thing, I won't tell you which idea to use, but I will say maybe don't combine the two. It would be, essentially, the equivalent of just having 2 powers, unless you could find a way to explain how talking to machines is related to astral projection through sleep.

A skull atop a flower beneath his deltoid, a raven along his elbow, and an image of a tribal woman surrounded by water lilies on his forearm. The tattoo is finished with different lines and tribal designs. ► Piercings - Prince Albert. ► Style - Sebastian is either dressed casually or in sports attire. Although, sport-brand attire generally fall under casual in today’s fashion. Regardless, he is usually seen either in denim jeans with a plain shirt, or sports-branded gear such as joggers, sweatshirts, rain jackets, hats, shoes, etc. Sebastian keeps his hair short and goes in every two to three weeks to freshen up the fade, styling it accordingly each and every day. ▼ l i k e s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► The different seasons ▼ d i s l i k e s► Nature ► Reading ► Stargazing ► Sunsets ► Thunder storms ► Coffee in the morning ► Pumpkin Pie ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Disrespect -► Annoying drunk girls ► Drama ▼ a c h i e v e m e n t s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Runningback of the varsity football team ► Qualified for athletic scholarships ► Won state championship with the football team ► Apart of National Honor Society ▼ a s p i r a t i o n s▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Sebastian simply wants purpose with his life, his main goal is to be able to make his mark on the world. Pushing to unfold his destiny, he tries to be careful as he treads through his life, making sure that he doesn’t turn a blind eye to any possible opportunities that are offered to him. His greatest aspiration was to become a man of bravery, honor, and valor. In doing so, he found himself joining the marines in hopes to maximize his strength and help make a change in the world. Sadly, he was stationed for awhile and was left disappointed and unfulfilled since he was never mobilized, nor called upon for any instruction. While many would prefer this, Sebastian never intended to join for rapacious reasons, but rather for the thrill and rewarding feeling that would come with the job. Since his return from being stationed, he’s left lost, becoming stagnant in his life. His aspiration still remains, but it is veiled by a thick fog. - | life at ritman high Sebastian came to the hierarchy much later than the rest of the students at Ritman High. Moving to the United States was a culture shock for him and he took a lot of time by himself to further learn the language and culture, as well as taking time for himself to properly cope with the events of his life. His father, a wealthy, mad scientist, and his mother, gone, had left him living in an unhealthy environment, exposed to the strange obscurities of his father’s work without any other family to call upon. In his own independence, Sebastian negotiated with his father and they agreed to allow him to move to the U.S. There, in the isolation of a large home with an unassertive, yielding nanny to care for him, he began anew. He lived with few rules and all the freedom he could’ve ever wanted, but never abused it for he has always had a dedicated complex embedded in his character. Sebastian had always lived headstrong, even when he resided in Germany, so his predicament had changed little. In spite of his private, undisclosed childhood, he found great distraction within Ritman High. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔Upon entry, he was already given the indentifier as the ‘Hot Foreign Jock’, even before joining the varsity football team. In the beginning, he talked very little, paying more attention to his academics and his extracurricular activities that he signed up for. As time went on, his nerves calmed and he felt more comfortable within the atmosphere, and he began to cycle in with the hierarchy of Ritman high, becoming involuntarily placed at the high-end of the pyramid. Sebastian engaged more with his classmates and spent a lot of his time bonding with his teammates, but all-the-while still adopting his quiet demeanor. His increasing involvement had led him to joining the NHS and it further amplified his determination with his academics and his sports. As he maintained his respectful and calm attitude, he was known to be the nicest of the jocks and a well-liked person all around. Except nobody ever got close to him and he remained a mystery to the student body. He didn’t have a single relationship, nor did he grow fond of any particular individual. As his highschool years passed, he eventually befriended a group of classmates that he would still consider his closest friends, despite still leaving them distant enough to not feel the need to expose himself entirely. For Sebastian, they were like his saving grace to his increasingly bad mind set. Growing up is hard, and for Sebastian, he could only mask his loneliness. Life for Sebastian during his time at Ritman High was all the things that it should’ve been—fun, eventful, productive—but he still felt the underlying emptiness that he tried so hard to fill with meager, teenage antics. Although such antics would be deemed as completion and accomplishment, he couldn’t deny the haunting feeling of his past that hung over his head like a dark, growing cloud of thunder. As he anticipated it’s strike, he fervently decided to join the marines for hope of purpose, assuming it would satisfy his aspirations and eliminate his self-hatred and developing feelings of worthlessness. And as he graduated with high hopes, he became recognized by his school for making this decision. His high school years were then seen as a huge success within his life, but such feelings are now swayed, believing he followed the wrong path for his life. Returning six years later, without any notable achievements during his time in the marines, his feelings of self-hatred and issues of self-worth resurfaced. |
| ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ power Sebastian possesses the power of Force-Field Manipulation. Sebastian can create, shape, and manipulate force-fields, a field of energy without mass that acts as a barrier. Objects affected by the particular force relating to the field are unable to pass through the field and reach the other side. Sebastians most common usage is forming shields, barriers, and bubbles around things he wishes to encase or protect. In combat, he can also be seen creating strong force-fields around his arms, fists, or legs to increase the power of his strikes. He is moving on to being able to move/lift objects that he encases within his force-fields. As he progresses with his powers, he has the potential to unlock several more aspects and usages with the power. | ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ▼ s t r e n g t h s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Sebastian can protect himself and others easily. The strong density of the force-fields can withstand heavy blows dependent on his concentration. He is also capable of forming force-fields around his body for combat use or more immediate self-protection. As Sebastian grows with his abilities, he’ll be able to make makeshift force-fields to use as platforms. ▼ w e a k n e s s e s▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Too much usage of the power can cause instability, especially when he is required to deposit increased concentration. The power is best utilized with a quick reaction time, requiring Sebastian to be light on his feet when the time calls for it. To be able to conjure makeshift force-fields that are more complex than an average barrier or shield requires a more complex concentration. - |
▼ p e r s o n a l p l a y l i s t ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ▼ t r i v i a ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Drinks his coffee black ► Enjoys acoustic music ► An early bird ► Prefers whiskey over all other drinks ► Makes really good drinks ► Speaks two languages - German & English ► His favorite colors are the colors of the foliage—fall colors ► Fancies creative people ► Has his prince albert piercing because he lost a bet when he was in the marines - | psyche Growing up, Sebastian has always had a determined, independent, and impenetrable personality. He is as productive as he is independent, finding himself to prefer doing things on his own. This leads to his introversion and his avoidance of help when it comes to tasks he is required to do. Even from working as a team when he played football, even from learning cooperation and alliance from the marines, he still remains independent, but thanks to the two, it is much less extreme. On the contrary, he is a man that keeps to his word and doesn’t make promises unless he is sure to keep to them. In the small instances where he has failed someone or not seen a task to its completion, he is very hard on himself and generally doesn’t let go of his mistake. This aside, he is very productive and chooses to fill his time with things that will better him rather than fill it with enjoyment. Sebastian is often found thinking a lot, and he is more perceptive than judging. He tries to see things from all angles, regardless of how small the scenario may be. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔Sebastian tries to treat others the way he wishes to be treated. He doesn’t treat others with distaste and he is always respectful as can be. A lot of people call him old-school for his strong feelings towards respect and responsibility, but he appreciates this aspect of himself. Sebastian is also very observant and curious. He tries to learn as much as he can, ranging from the most minimal events to the biggest lectures of his life. Ritman High has taught Sebastian to enjoy life and friendship and happiness. But his character flaw is that if he invests too much time into enjoyment, he will have nothing to show for himself than the temporary feelings he creates in those instances. As of recent, he has been lost in a vortex of emotions, social constructs, and philosophy—he more commonly struggles with his views of himself more than he has in the past, unable to find the balance. And as time continues, his tired mind juggles more than it can handle. Sebastian doesn’t smile often, but when he does, it as genuine as ever. The majority of the time, he keeps a straight face and it is near impossible to determine what he’s thinking, for his mind is generally scattered with thoughts. The close friends he has made at Ritman High are what pull him away from his solitude and uplift him to a place where he feels the warmth of happiness, but he struggles to hold onto it. Sebastian values them strongly and there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do to ensure their safety and sanity. |
Here is my character! Let me know if I should make any adjustments to him. I tried to incorporate the foreseen bonds the created characters would have. If I should change this then let me know!

You'll often see him in jeans, slacks and unbranded uniformly colored shirts. When the climate calls for it, he wears a black leather jacket. His face is usually covered in stubble and his hair is clean but unkempt. ▼ a c h i e v e m e n t s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► He received recognition and honors for his artistic prowess, specializing in charcoal illustrations. ▼ a s p i r a t i o n sHe was also recognized for having perfect attendence. Griff preferred to be at school over the alternative. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► As the younger brother of an All-Star alumni, Griff spent a lot of time in his sibling's shadow. It became a point of consternation as they grew older and Griff made it his goal in life to earn the spotlight through different means. His brother could throw a football. He could create a world on a canvas. After Ritman, Griff moved out to New York to pursue that dream and start fresh, leaving his brother and the rest of his family behind. - | life at ritman high Griff was certainly an introvert in school, but those who befriended him got to see him for his entirety; a sarcastic, giggly nerd whose loyalty was iron clad. He was never known for being too romantically involved with anyone, letting his shyness and lack of confidence hold him back from taking any social risks. There was a particular girl who always made his stomach flutter. He never had the urge to do anything about it, though. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔His grades were always just average as he took far more interest in the world outside the school walls than the lessons being taught. Socially, to those who couldn't call him a close friend, he was one of those guys you remember going to school with, but never quite knew their name. Griff avoided any athletic activities and his idea of social rebellion was smoking pot one time at a friend's house and then caking layers of cologne upon himself so that his parents wouldn't find out. He was never much of a risk taker, yet somehow he was still a thrill seeker. He just chooses his moments to come out of his shell very specifically. |
| ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ power Typhokinesis Griff's abilities all revolve around the ability to generate and manipulation what would commonly be referred to as smoke. There are several applications for this ability which include, but are not limited to, typhokinetic flight, instantaneous smoke generation, deoxygenation and, as a companion effect, his vision has taken on a new quality enabling him to sort of mimic infrared on command, allowing him to see through his own smog. | ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ▼ s t r e n g t h s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Griff's ability to create smoke allows for applications of distraction and concealment. It also supports him as a means of transportation, letting his body break down into smoke particles and traveling through the air to his destination, though initially this only works for short distances. His new alternative eyesight can also be used for advantages in surveillance and reconnaissance. ▼ w e a k n e s s e s▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Griff's power does not give him any innate supernatural protections. He will succumb to every normal human weakness. Additionally, Griff has a healthy fear of what he can do, lacking confidence in his own control. Each time he lets any part of his body disintegrate into smog, he has only hope to comfort him in regards to being able to reassimilate. It is this lack of confidence in his control that fuels his reluctance to use his abilities, except under the most appropriate of circumstances. - |
psyche Griff has been and probably always will be a seeker of approval and affection. Sensitive, creative, idealistic, caring, perceptive, loyal... He generally wants to do good by his friends and his family. He is not the stereotypical alpha male out front and center, hogging the spotlight. In a conflict, Griff is definitely the one in the shadows, so to speak, strategizing about ways to make his strikes count. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ |

NGL, but ugh....the applications thus far have been a real... dudefest.
I may change my character's , but honestly ive already fallen in love with them as they are and changing them may make me not love them as much.
With that in mind, would it be possible to apply with two characters? and is it possible that they can both be accepted?
I'm relatively comfortable playing two characters the moment we start, and if not is it something that can be open for discussion for the future?
EDIT: What are the sports that were present in Ritman high when our characters were in High School, or are we free to make one up necessary?

I'm not the type of person to really stress about male/female ratios, if it helps anyone my character will be female when I'm finally done with her. There's also another female character from another player that I'm aware of.
Right now, I can't say I'm comfortable with that. It's a small group as-is so I don't want multiple spots taken up by the same player.
Feel free to make them up. I can discuss any changes with you if need be. Same goes for everyone.
My discord is sin#0278 if anyone wants to hit me up on there, I feel it encourages faster conversation than PMs. Like I said, won't be making a dedicated server for this thing until after July 19th, and after everyone has confirmed they can access it. You can always hit me up in PMs if not.
With that in mind, would it be possible to apply with two characters? and is it possible that they can both be accepted?

What are the sports that were present in Ritman High when our characters were in High School, or are we free to make one up necessary?

@hawkinsI understand, would it still be okay to apply with two and only one be accepted? I'm enjoying where I have the two characters now, and while I am leaning towards one versus the other that may change. Also, I suppose there's no harm in asking.
I don't have discord so this is really the fastest way for me.

Yeah, I'm fine with you giving me two to choose from.
