oh I just got my mentions backwards

oops

@Mr Allen J

That's what I thought XD

[Gisk]

Alright, here I come! Hopefully! A lot of long posts I gotta read first, but I'm working on it.

It's a lot harder for me to keep up to date when I can't post from work, but that just means I need to buckle down and take care of it when I have the time. No more procrastination for me.

Alright, now we need to get Kassidy to touch Audrey.

James Wylder

---

Standing at about 5'8", James is best described as 'average'. Not skinny, not fat. Not out of shape, but not muscular. James is the kind of person who goes unnoticed when standing in the middle of an empty room, just because of his lack of "uniqueness". The only thing that really makes James stand out is his face -almost perpetually cut and bruised. James has a self prescribed "ironically indie" sense of style. He wears a strange mix of hipster skinny jeans and flannels alongside trashy bro-tanks and snapbacks. He almost always can be seen wearing his cherry red varsity jacket, in spite of any weather.

James is what those who know him best would describe as the 'classic cool guy'. He tends to get along with anyone almost effortlessly, even through his laissez-faire attitude. Of course, this isn't really the case. More than anyone else, it seems, he cares about what people thinks, and is an extreme try-hard when it comes to making others like him. That said, his temper is something rather legendary. He will lash out rather violently in the short term, but long term tends to not hold grudges. He is rather superficial, living for pleasure rather than success.

+ Music, sans modern country
+ Parties
+ Personable people
+ Attractive people
+ Taking risks
- Inactivity
- Being disliked
- Unattractive people
- People who 'harsh his buzz'

◦ Selling drugs
◦ Partying
◦ Cross country
◦ Film

Born to a John and Mary Wydler, James spent his time as a child largely alone. This was especially accented by the far too early death of his twin sister, who lived a miserable and sickly two years before tragically passing. John and Mary were out of the house for elongated lengths of time, working jobs in Riverside, while James was left alone to entertain himself in Greenbriar. The loneliness became even more prominent at the age of twelve, when Mary disappeared without so much as a note.

Growing up, James tried his damnedest to not dwell on the loss of his family, filling the holes in his social life with as many people as he could. Eventually, this (and a lack of parental supervision) lead to James becoming very well acquainted with the "party-party-yeah" side of Greenbriar, where he began his 'career' in dealing drugs. In his high school years, James became one of the best places to go for a hook-up this side of Greenbriar.

His personal stream of cash from his 'night job' allowed James to live far above his supposedly low-income. Though his father wondered, he was either working or drinking -never time to question his son. In this time, James made an impression on just about everyone in town, yet somehow never truly impacted anyone. He became something of a recurring side character in everyone's personal story -always there in some form or another, but never in the spotlight.

He is not invisible, but rather others simply fail to notice him. Any items he is holding fall under this filter, as well as most objects that he interacts with, and changes he makes to the environment.

The Catch: This power is always "on." The only times it stops affecting someone are when:

1) He is physically touching that person.

2) He extends the filter(by touching, interacting or holding) to something that that person is looking directly at.

To reapply the filter, he must break visual contact with the person. When the filter is reapplied, the victim will remember seeing him, but will not be able to spot him again, no matter how hard they try.

Amazing.

I used a Chloe Cosplay, and you come in here with Nathan Prescott. Though, I think Gisk wants real pictures only. I could be wrong.

@Mr Allen J

Haha, I was wondering if that was supposed to be Chloe, or just a coincidence.
TBH I was kinda hoping it'd slide just since it's not anime.

@R31GN

Haha, Zoey wasn't supposed to be a Chloe clone. Since I couldn't write a character with no power in mind, I just wrote a character off the top of my head, and probably subconsciously made her like Chloe because of the faceclaim. lol

But, I personally think the picture is cool, it's realistic enough.

_{and anime killed my parents.}

@Mr Allen J

Pretty much same. I tried real hard to not just write this guy as Nathan Prescott, but TBH he's damn close. If my char and Poly's char had a lovechild, it would literally be Nathan.

<3
_same

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@R31GN Well, the main reason I used a Chloe faceclaim was because of the Life is Strange vibes I was getting from this RP, and decided to do it as a joke.

Perception Filter: He is not invisible, but rather others simply fail to notice him. Any items he is holding fall under this filter, as well as most objects that he interacts with, and changes he makes to the environment.

The Catch: This power is always "on." The only times it stops affecting someone are when:

To reapply the filter, he must break visual contact with the person. When the filter is reapplied, the victim will remember seeing him, but will not be able to spot him again, no matter how hard they try.

Early Presentation: People will seem to be ignoring him, and will seem to start ignoring him again very quickly even after he manages to get their attention.

((Reasoning: His pathological need for companionship. He will have to try even harder to be friends with people.))

[Mixtape Ghost N]

Sorry for not posting guys, I've been busy the last few days because I am preparing to head out of town on a big trip, and I was focusing on my own RP. I'll get a post in soon.

[Ellion]

I'm waiting on other people

@Gisk

Right on. Quick couple of questies before I start up on an IC post-
Does the filter apply to words said over the phone, texts, letters, etc.
Does the filter apply to people watching a video of James?
Does this mean that if James drives in a car, odds are someone will hit him because they can't notice him?

[Gisk]

1) No, it applies only in person. Electronics are capable of recording him, and playing him back.

2) See number 1

3) I didn't have things as large as cars in mind when I mentioned him interacting with things. The way I see it, a car is too big for his filter to include.
People will, however, find the driver of the car impossible to recall.
