[OOC] Stalwart University

[Lady Seraphina]

That and it's pretty surprising just how many stores don't have security cams or use dummy ones to scare off shopliftrrs but I was planning on having her past catch up with her at some point, thanks for pointing that out.

[bluemoon277]

That's fine. There's actually a medium sized metal building with a few rooms out in the woods that was made by my characters father (he was an architect). Lena's parents for short time had been trying to train her there. They stopped once they realized it was useless, but it's a safe sound proof fire proof area. I didn't mention because my bio was long enough as is, but this area could be helpful for later events.

[Lady Seraphina]

Interesting, this could be useful. Besides with her power my character is sort of built gor running.

[Rin]

As long as she doesn't piss off the living electromagnet (who Vita will hopefully finish soon) or the amateur detective, she should be alright, right?

Also, I think tactile telekinesis is fine and I kind of overreacted to the Kryptonian comparison. My bad. ^^; And... It took me a while to notice the problem, since I was looking at the powers individually and not as a combined set. Again, my bad, and I apologise for that. Also, I should apologise for the fact that I think I've been coming off as kind of a bitch in both of these threads and complaining too much. I'll try not to do that so much. Sorry.

Anyways, added the new fields to Claire's sheet. Just as a note in case anyone had seen "manipulation of string" and jumped to a certain conclusion... There'll be no string theory involved. At all. Partially because manipulating the very fabric of reality is probably not going to end well at all, but mostly because eventually making her into basically a god is not only incredibly gamebreaky but not fun in the slightest. I just went with string because I love series like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and One Piece, where they take seemingly useless powers and through liberal interpretations and creative uses of the power turn them into a force to be reckoned with. XD

Sorry I forgot to introduce myself when I asked the roommate question. I have been working on this CS for a couple of days and forgot that without posting a CS, I would seem like a weird stranger.

My apologies.

Ethan Shepard

Appearance:Face. He has fair blonde hair that falls down to his cheeks. He has hazel eyes and a very fair beard that likes to sport. He's not a muscular guy, more of an inbetweener between skinny and muscle. He normally wears sci-fi shirts that relate to franchises like: Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Predator, Terminator, Terminator 2, Robocop, Blade Runner, Total Recall, 2001:Space Odyssey, etc. He wears dark blue jeans usually and white sneakers.

Name:Ethan Shepard

Age: 18

Gender:Male

Power(s): Solar Empowerment

Limits/Weaknesses: He cannot use his powers during night-time or when it is cloudy. He is a normal and weak human being when sunlight is absent.

Equipment: Wallet, phone, gloves, a small bag of weed, a UV light torch and a digital watch.

Personality: Ethan is a bit of a loner and he prefers it that way. He has always enjoyed his own company and usually prefers being left alone. He has a couple of friends back in England and he knows how to speak to people but he mostly wants to hang out watching nerdy films and smoking weed. He is a lazy stoner as well and doesn’t know his full potential. He could easily get the highest marks in his specific subjects but he just half asses it and he only got into Stalwart University by just passing the requirements. His preference to be alone can be traced back to his powers. He feels alone and has never met anyone who has similar abilities, so he prefers to stay alone in case of being revealed. Until someone with superhuman abilities reveals themselves, he’ll just prefer his own comfort.

History:Ethan was born in Nottingham, England and has been blessed with Solar empowerment. Ever since he was a little kid, he would gain superhuman abilities whenever he was in sight of the sun. He would be able to gain speeds up of up to 100mph; he would be able to gain the strength to lift a car; the durability to take punches like they were nothing and be able to heal life-threatening wounds within minutes. All these abilities were in abundance when he is sunlight but when he it is night-time or cloudy then he is as weak and normal as a normal human being.

His mother died when he was a young boy from cancer. Ever since then he has been raised by his father. His father is the only one who knows about his abilities and he can never stress it enough to Ethan that he has too hide his powers. He knows people will fear him and many people will try to use him as a weapon; especially in the middle-east where it is sunny nearly all the time. He always hid his powers in school and was scared of revealing them. On sports day he always controls himself and he tries not to get into fights. He even sits away from the windows during the summer to avoid doing something accidental that’ll attract attention.
He lived with his father for many years; who still lives in England. Ethan had a great interest in Zoology and would regularly enjoy going through the forests outside of his house in the country. He would be alone and free to use his powers. Stalwart University had a very good department in this course and hopes to gain himself a good job with this course.

[VitaVitaAR]

Appearance: Standing at 4'9, Kaitlin is a very small girl with her hair in a seemingly perpetual state of messiness. Her wardrobe is mostly made of of fairly simple shirts and skirts, though she does own some more elaborate outfits.
Name: Kaitlin Abbey
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Power(s): The control of Electromagnetism. This translates to her ability to fire bolts of electricity, manifest electrical barriers around her body, use electromagnetism to manipulate metal objects(for example, a gun would be easily disabled by her), fry or hack into electronics(though only if they operate in ways that would allow her to), and even walk on walls with enough metal content using electromagnetism. And although she has never had to use it and is currently not aware if it would work, Kaitlin can fire metal objects she makes physical contact with by replicating the properties of a railgun.
Limits/Weaknesses: Kaitlin's ability to manipulate objects using her electromagnetic abilities only extends to things mostly composed of metal and no larger then a human being. Usage of her abilities also potentially shorts out electronics nearby. She must have physical contact with an object she intends to fire using her railgun. Finally, the ability can manifest in small amounts unconsciously, making it easily exposed. For example, sparks manifest around Kaitlin's head when she is angry enough, which is the cause of her constantly-messy hair.
Equipment: A remarkable number of seemingly-useless arcade tokens.
Personality: Kaitlin is quite a grumpy girl. She feels she is more mature then many people she knows. She is highly sarcastic, and she has a low tolerance for what she proceeds as stupid. However, Kaitlin is not completely caustic to everyone around her. If she is close enough to someone, she will be calmer and more kind to them. However, anyone Kaitlin cares about gets admonished more then usual, really, because she thinks it keeps them out of trouble. She's a rather lazy when it comes to some things, like fixing her hair after she sparks, or schoolwork(she really hates doing schoolwork in general). This is not because of a lack of intelligence, and it is more because Kaitlin really is incredibly lazy. She enjoys video games and reading, and hates just about anything that would be labeled as "Physical Education".
History: Kaitlin was born, and rather rapidly developed into a tiny sarcastic person. Throughout elementary school, she lacked friends, in part due to feeling very awkward about approaching others and also due to her own attitude about anyone she found stupid or foolish. Her only friends throughout much of elementary school were Claire, whom she was very close with, and Alice. One her ninth birthday, she discovered that whenever she got angry enough, barely-visible sparks flew around her head. This was a very strange thing to uncover and she chose not to mention it, especially not to her friends who may think it was weird. However, this ability grew during highschool, and it seemed like Claire didn't want to talk to her sometimes... it was because of this that Kaitlin and Claire grew slightly apart. But they've gotten accepted into the same university... and Claire hasn't gotten admonished for anything dumb she might do by Kaitlin nearly enough recently!
This must be fixed!

@Mr. WIki: Unless you guys want me to assign roommates, I think I'm going to leave it up to you guys. :3 I think it might work better that way. Your character is accepted as well. :) The only thing is that the picture isn't working.

@Bluemoon: I find it rather unlikely that the police would chase her down for shoplifting, but, maybe her foster parents made up some story about her running away and wanting her back? That way the authorities would have a reason to pay attention to the face and want to find her. Granted, she is eighteen, but I think that they would still at least want to talk to her if she vanished when she was a minor.

@Rin: It's okay. Thanks for the apology. :D

@Vita: Your character is accepted. :3

@All: I'll try and get the opening post up tonight. XD But it might take a bit of time yet.

[TaliPaendrag]

I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get that post up guys. Sorry.

[Whisket]

I think we'll live

@Whisket: Good. I was afraid that people would start dropping like flies unless they got the required dosage of roleplays. :P

@Mr. Wiki: No problem, and the picture is okay. :3

@All: Sorry that it's taking me so long. I went to visit family today and now my dad is going to work on my computer. I should still be able to get it up tonight though. :3

[Mr_Wiki_96]

Now the picture wants too work!? 0_o

Jaymi Deveraux

Jaymi stands at 5’11 and 170 lbs. He is a Caucasian male with brunette hair, blue eyes, and shiny teeth. Despite his flamboyant personality, his physical appearance and stature betray what he portrays. His body type is quite athletic as he cares about his body and what he puts in it. He wears a lot of preppy and stylish clothing from TopMan, Abercrombie and Fitch, Urban Outfitters, and other stores of the such.

Name:
Jaymi Deveraux

Age:
18

Gender:
Male

Power(s):
Glass Manipulation – (Also known as Hyalokinesis) the ability to move and manipulate glass (and some forms of diamond and crystal). Using his powers, he can shatter, reshape, sharpen, dull, compress, and expand glass, subsequently moving it via a form of telekinesis.

Glass Mimicry – Power to transform into or have a physical body made up of glass. In this form, he is translucent and retains mobility. Due to other gases and chemicals in the human body such as carbon, his glass form is as hard as diamonds and invulnerable, and able to support incredible amounts of weight and withstand numerous amounts of bullets. Jaymi's glass body is virtually tireless as he does not produce fatigue poisons and has no need for water nor food. He is also numbed from emotion, pain and empathy, impervious to cold, and resistant to heat in this form. Furthermore, in this form he has no need to breathe. He also has a degree of telepathic immunity in this form, ranging from blocking out mind readers to full on psychic attacks.

Limits/Weaknesses:
He can only manipulate glass that’s gone through glass transition. He is unable to control sand or other amorphous materials. He could only affect glass that is present in the same room as him.

Despite this high level of invulnerability, his glass form has a single molecular flaw, which if exploited – such as being shot with a diamond bullet – can cause his body to shatter. He also can’t access his hyalokinetic powers whilst in glass form.

Equipment:

[*]iPhone w/ headphones
[*]Wallet
[*]Pocket knife

Personality:
Growing up, Jaymi was an outgoing and friendly person. He loved meeting new people and hanging out with friends. This changed when his mom met his soon to be step dad. With the abusive relationship they had, it brought down Jaymi, making him very shy, reclusive, and anti-social. This lasted until his step dad had his tragic death. When the abuse left their lives, he slowly regained his old personality. Trying to forget his past, he’s developed into quite the bubbly and friendly person. Although he still struggles with his anger and occasionally causing glass to break here and there.

History:
Jaymi’s childhood was pretty normal compared to other kids. Things didn’t start becoming rocky until his time in Junior High School when his single mother started dating this man she met at a bar. Everything was fine at first until he started abusing his mother. Jaymi felt there was nothing he could do about it and this went on for years. He had changed from the outgoing type to the shy and secluded person he dreaded to become. People around him could tell something was going on, but never bothered to ask about his home life. Jaymi felt seeing his mom go through torture was going to be his life forever until his life took another turn when he started developing abilities.

He noticed that he could make glass shatter and move. With something as dangerous as that, he kept it a secret and did his best not to hurt anyone. There were a few slips whenever he got angry and made nearby windows shatter, but it was nothing he couldn’t cover up. People just thought it was shock waves and never turned to look at Jaymi. On the way home from a night out, his step father started hitting his mom in the car. Out of rage, he caused the windshield of the car to shatter, causing the shards to slice right through his step dad’s neck and injuring his mom. No one really knew what happened and nothing could be traced back to Jaymi. After his step dad’s funeral, everything seemed to go better for him and his mom. Jaymi regained his confidence and he graduated high school with high honors. That summer before attending college, he practiced with his newly acquired ability. He never knew it there were others like him, but hopes to know that he isn’t alone.

Other:
Jaymi is homosexual.

[TaliPaendrag]

@Heathen: It looks good, but may I ask why you crossed out some of his powers and limitations? Are those things he will eventually be able to do?

[Heathen]

Yep. Those are things he will develop in the future when everyone's abilities start to grow. :)

[VitaVitaAR]

Will try and think of an intro post soon. ^^;

[Whisket]

Haven't had much time lately, but I'll hopefully be able to get my intro post up tonight, if not sometime tomorrow.
