[quote=@Rabidporcupine] Ok, gonna add the bio and power ranking tomorrow, because it's 5:30 in the morning but I just wanted to get what I'd done so far out here. So yeah, Jojo McMagicman.

Standing about six feet tall, with scruffy black hair and brown eyes, he has the sort of appearance that can blend into the crowd even in an empty room. He tends to wear sunglasses at just about all times, because, in his own words, it makes him look cool and mysterious. It doesn’t, and he knows it, but he’ll never admit it. He also wears a lot of layers, often wearing winter clothes even in summer, because he claims he gets cold really easily.[/INDENT] [color=96EACE][B][ PERSONALITY TRAITS ][/B][/color] [color=Turquoise][INDENT] [b]Laid Back:[/b][/INDENT][/color] Joseph is very much the sort of person who prefers to sit back and go with the flow whenever possible, letting life take him where it will. This is most often seen when people want him to do something, only to inevitably find him asleep on a couch somewhere. [color=Turquoise][INDENT] [b]Socially Inept:[/b][/INDENT][/color] Joseph has been blessed with the uncanny ability to come up with the exact [i]wrong[/i] thing to say at the wrong time. On the plus side though, the fact that most people who already know him know about this particular “talent” means that he can use it for his own enjoyment occasionally, with giving people overtly stupid advice having become something of a hobby of his. [color=Turquoise][INDENT] [b]Quiet:[/b][/INDENT][/color] Joseph isn’t exactly a fan of the spotlight, preferring to stay in the background when possible. He has a habit of avoiding public attention and diverting it to others, even if he was heavily involved in an event they’re focusing on. This naturally means he has basically zero exposure to audiences, with only the most hardcore H.E.R.O. fans even knowing he actually exists. [color=Turquoise][INDENT] [b]Diligent:[/b][/INDENT][/color] Although he’s cultivated the image of a lazy, easy-going slacker during his time at H.E.R.O., the truth is that he’s actually rather diligent, spending most of his evenings preparing runes late into the night, or furthering his knowledge on the Code in order to do so more effectively. This gives him the benefit of usually having plenty of runic arrays prepared for all sorts of various purposes. Unfortunately, it also tends to leave him sleep deprived, and more than a little anemic, which is why he spends the majority of his time at H.E.R.O. when not on an actual mission sleeping or relaxing. [color=96EACE][B][ BIO ][/B][/color] [INDENT]Joseph isn’t exactly someone who talks about his past. According to him, there’s nothing particularly interesting to say about it. Perfectly average life, parents, school, all that junk. And that would be perfectly believable, as long as you don’t actually look into it, and learn that there doesn’t seem to be much record of Joseph Moore’s history at all. Ask him about it, and he’ll tell you the fun little story about the storm that flooded the building where all that sort of stuff was kept in his tiny hometown, ruining almost all of the records held there. Were there backups? Apparently not, if [i]you[/i] can’t find them…[/INDENT] [color=96EACE][b]| MISCELLANEOUS |[/b][/color] [indent]Terrified of flying. Also terrified of water where he can’t see the bottom. Somehow able to drink [i]actually horrific[/i] amounts of alcohol and still have a healthy liver. Has drank ethanol and rubbing alcohol more than once.[/indent] [/hider] [hider=Abilities] [color=96EACE][B][ RANKING ][/B][/color] [INDENT]Epsilon in the records[/INDENT] [color=96EACE][B][ POWERS ][/B][/color] [INDENT] [b][u]Runecrafting[/u][/b] Jeremy is a magus, a person who wields the power of runes. All of existence is built upon a force known as the Code, which as the name implies, functions as something like the code of a computer program. Magi use runes from various ancient languages to manipulate this code, inscribing them in complex arrays to add, remove, or alter various effects to whatever they're written on. It is an extremely dangerous power to wield, and even a slight mistake in the writing process, or the smallest incompatibility between runes used in the arrays, can cause a paradox that results in the array, along with an amount of space around it dependent on the size and complexity of the array, will be completely erased from reality.[/INDENT] [color=96EACE][B][ PHYSICAL STRENGTH ][/B][/color] ■■■□□□□□□□ 3/10 Jeremy's strength is barely above what a normal person can achieve, being incapable of reinforcing his own body with runes as many other magi can due to the mistakes of his past. [color=96EACE][B][ AGILITY ][/B][/color] ■■■□□□□□□□ 3/10 Although he's trained himself to be as mobile as possible, his body is still just that of a normal human. [color=96EACE][B][ INTELLIGENCE ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■■□□□ 7/10 Unfortunately, Jeremy is actually rather inept when it comes to many normal academic subjects. However, when it comes to things like magic, combat tactics, and analysing opponents, he could easily be called a genius. [color=96EACE][B][ DESTRUCTIVENESS ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■■□□□ 7/10 If armed with the right runes ahead of time, Jeremy can cause a pretty decent amount of destruction in a relatively short amount of time. Not that he [i]would,[/i] of course, but between explosive arrays and transmutation arrays, he definitely [i]could.[/i] [color=96EACE][B][ LETHALITY ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■■■□□ 8/10 Though he does his best to avoid it whenever possible, killing people seems to be something of a specialty for him. Runes make it easy. Runically enchanted firearms make it easier. It's a talent he's cultivated over the last eight years, and he gets the depressing feeling that isn't going to change any time soon. [color=96EACE][B][ ENDURANCE ][/B][/color] ■■■■■□□□□□ 5/10 While Jeremy can enchant his clothing to withstand certain attacks, and even bullets to a degree, it's entirely possible for stronger powers to break through these defences. [color=96EACE][B][ EFFICACY ][/B][/color] ■■■■■□□□□□ 5/10 Though not [i]strictly[/i] necessary, most runes generally need to be written using the casters blood, or an ink made with it mixed in. The less blood used for the runes, the less powerful the effects will be. As Jeremy, like most humans, only has a limited amount of blood, he usually has to prepare runes ahead of time when he's safe, and then bring them out only when he [i]definitely[/i] needs them. It unfortunately results in fairly common anemia. [color=96EACE][B][ SURVEILLANCE LEVEL ][/B][/color] ■■■■□□□□□□ 4/10 On his own, Joseph usually doesn’t cause all that much of a scene due to his tendency to try and lay low. It’s only really when he gets caught up in the antics of his colleagues that he tends to get involved in any real havoc. Although, in all fairness, it doesn’t take all that much convincing to join them in the chaos either… [color=96EACE][B][ SKILLS ][/B][/color] [INDENT] Exeptional Calligraphy Marksmanship Stealth Close Quarters Combat Both standard and thaumaturgic First Aid Gardening Cooking Cleaning Sewing Lying to himself [/INDENT] [color=96EACE][B][ EQUIPMENT ][/B][/color] [INDENT] Runically enchanted firearms At least two enchanted combat knives Pouches of spare enchanted ammunition Likely multiple layers of enchanted jackets, shirts, and other clothes Sunglasses Runic tags Notepads Ink bottles and brush Sewing kit Backpack[/INDENT] [/hider] [/quote] This character will never go away, huh? Welcome back, I guess. The only thing missing is the stamina component of the abilities thing, but once that's fixed, you can feel free to move him right over. Accepted.

Her hair is long and dyed blonde. She frequently wears makeup and nail polish despite her fashion sense tending to lean more towards baseball caps, ripped jeans, boots, and metal band tees or baggy clothes. It takes more effort to appear carefree. Her hero costume is a little on the freer side as it's segmented to avoid restricting usage of her powers. A silver domino mask, tank top and leggins, with fully exposed midriff and forearms.[/INDENT][/color] [color=Silver][B][ PERSONALITY TRAITS ][/B][/color] [color=PaleTurquoise][INDENT] Madison is always happy to be approached for a casual conversation or to be asked for help. Madison likes to see herself as a big sister to H.E.R.O. members younger than her and strives to be a warm, approachable figure they can turn to when they need help. Madison is a little too insecure to commit to being properly cool or properly enthuiastic. To compensate, her sense of humor is just the right touch of tryhard to be endearing rather than grating. Hoever, she is deep down always worrying how people think of her.[/INDENT][/color] [color=Silver][B][ BIO ][/B][/color] [color=PaleTurquoise][INDENT]Madison grew up a rich, spoiled girl from Beverly Hills. Her power manifested at a very early age and she was the center of attention wherever she went. When she was thirteen years old, her parents divorced and she followed her father to Castleburg. She chose to enroll in the Academy for Junior Heroes rather than continue regular education. She wanted to be a hero. Madison was almost immediately humbled. Her attitude, background and even accent rubbed everyone else up the wrong way. Practically overnight she had gone from being the star pupil, winning all the trophies, head cheerleader, to the class joke. The soft, sheltered princess. Most other students were of more modest backgroundsand upbringings. Here, she was the outlier. She had to work twice as hard to be taken seriously. Merely keeping up with the top achievers of the class took serious effort for the first time. But work hard she did. She became obsessed with her grades and placements to an unhealthy degree in hindsight. Even though she never even cracked the top five, her displays of earnest gritand struggle turned public opinion around and she began to start getting acknowledged and making friends. By this point, the overacheiver obsessed with athletic prowess was toodeeply ingrained in heridentity, and it became who she was. She started training, sparring and taking classes simply because she wanted to. Thatwas what she found fun and fulfilling now. Graduating from the academy at nineteen, she has been a full fledged member of HERO for one year, and tends to focus more on street level crime and public service than fighting powerful villains.[/INDENT][/color] [color=Silver][b]| MISCELLANEOUS |[/b][/color] [color=PaleTurquoise][indent]Madison loves 80’s ‘training montage’ rock.

She hand reach with her coils and retract them, allowing her to scale buildings.[/INDENT][/color] [color=Silver][B][ INTELLIGENCE ][/B][/color] ■■■□□□□□□□ [color=PaleTurquoise][INDENT]3/10 Madison was a good student at school and can get somewhat creative with her powers but she's no genius.[/INDENT][/color] [color=Silver][B][ DESTRUCTIVENESS ][/B][/color] ■■□□□□□□□□ [color=PaleTurquoise][INDENT]2/10 Madison's power has no effect on her destructiveness.[/INDENT][/color] [color=Silver][B][ LETHALITY ][/B][/color] ■■■□□□□□□□ [color=PaleTurquoise][INDENT]3/10 Madison hits harder and has more ways to theoretically kill somebody with ease than the average person, but overall not particularly dangerous.[/INDENT][/color] [color=Silver][B][ ENDURANCE ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■■■■□ [color=PaleTurquoise][INDENT]9/10 Imagine dropping a coil of steel wire from twenty stories. Or shooting it with a machine gun. Slashing at it with a sword. Hitting it with a car. After all that you have still not significantly damaged the steel wire. All these things are also true of Madison. On the off chance she does become wounded, turning the affected area from wire back to flesh will fully 'reset' and heal the flesh. There are, however, ways to harm Madison specifically. Targetting a single strand of wire with wire cutters, for example.[/INDENT][/color] [color=Silver][B][ STAMINA ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■■□□□ [color=PaleTurquoise][INDENT]7/10 The result of extensive cardio training throughout her life copled with the energy of youth, means Madison is hard to tire out. Her power is also helping in this, by preventing anaerobic respiration and muscle fatigue.[/INDENT][/color] [color=Silver][B][ EFFICACY ][/B][/color] ■■■■■□□□□□ [color=PaleTurquoise][INDENT]5/10 Madison is very accomplished and practiced with casual use of her powers, but she has merely scratched the surface of her potential.[/INDENT][/color] [color=Silver][B][ SURVEILLANCE LEVEL ][/B][/color] ■■□□□□□□□□ [color=PaleTurquoise][INDENT]2/10 As an overachieving volunteer who wants to be looked up to, there’s no need to take any extra precautions with Madison. She’ll behave herself.[/INDENT][/color] [color=Silver][B][ SKILLS ][/B][/color] [color=PaleTurquoise][INDENT]Madison is accomplished in MMA, parkour and gymnastics. She also holds a motorbike licence.[/INDENT][/color] [color=Silver][B][ EQUIPMENT ][/B][/color] [color=PaleTurquoise][INDENT]Custom Motorbike. The segment containing the seat and rear wheel can be detached from the rest of it.[/INDENT][/color][/hider] [/quote] I like the character and the powers and I think she'll be a great fit! I hate to be a bother, but the one thing I would like a little more elaboration on is personality. I know it's difficult, but I do think there's a hole regarding her motivating personality traits (what makes her tick? that type of stuff) as opposed to her social traits, which I think are fine. Just a little bit about her being an overachiever, how that relates to her being on HERO, and whatnot. I'm happy to conditionally accept this character, though- feel free to move her right on over once you just add those couple of additions.
