[DriveEMOut]

@KatherinWinter
I am also going on holiday starting tomorrow. I'll still be able to post, but they will be more limited.

[KatherinWinter]

@Vampy@DriveEMOut thanks for letting me know I appreciate it.

[Mistiel]

@KatherinWinter I really hope I did this right. It's been a LO_ONG time since I've roleplayed on any forum. In addition, I also hope this isn't too far into your roleplay for new people to join.

Hider

Name: Lin Yang (White people can have Chinese names too. -,-)

Age: 17

Ability: Flow walking. It's an ability from Star Wars (RIP extended universe books) that allows the user to see, but RARELY influence (only with spoken words and very exhaustive concentration, never physical action) past events that occurred within a short timeframe (I'll leave how long the viewable timeframe can be up to the GM since I'm basically an RP noob again). Also, even if Lin successfully manages to make her voice heard in past events, she cannot directly alter her own timeline.

Appearance:

Strength: Hand-to-hand combat. She's a scrappy fighter who can hold her own in fisticuffs (or footicuffs if that's a thing). She's also extremely loyal and overly protective to the point of physical violence, which can often be looked as both a weakness and a strength.

Weakness: Motion sickness on almost all forms of travel. (Yeah, yeah, Natsu Dragneel....blah blah blah) She also has to be within a certain radius of where she wants to flow walk. For example, she can't flow walk as a form of mind travel or whatever (that'd just be weird and OP).

Bio: Lin's parents died in a fiery conflagration when their private jet crashed somewhere in a far off ocean. Lin was orphaned at the age of three. As a result of this tragedy, Lin spent the rest of her childhood either in an orphanage or bouncing from foster home to foster home. Her parents had been cocky and never gotten around to writing a will or giving young Lin a trust fund, for they were rich stockbrokers.

So she basically grew up always wishing she could go back in time and bring her parents back. It took a long time, but on her seventeenth birthday, Lin's home city had an earthquake, a sinkhole opened up underneath her, and she tumbled into a sewer. Getting up and brushing it off like the tough as nails young lady she was and is, Lin Yang continued forward, bravely exploring the sewer system for a way out. Either fortunately or not so fortunately, she instead happened upon some toxic radioactive sludge dumped into the sewer by heavens-know-who and, after tripping on a large rat and falling facefirst into the stuff, she gained her power.

Upon emerging from the sewers, Lin saw that she was surrounded by old-timey automobiles and people in strange, very old-fashioned clothes. It turned out that she had flow walked back into the 1950s! Elated, Miss Yang experimented with this ability to no end, but found much to her dismay, that no matter how hard she focused, she couldn't bring her parents back.

Pretty soon, news stories started cropping up about more teenagers like herself developing essentially superpowers. While her own power was a carefully kept secret, Lin decided it couldn't hurt to apply for the school since she had nowhere else to go. In short, Lin has a fierce personality and can go between very mature and all jokes - of the practical or pun variety - at the drop of a hat. She is currently en route to the academy as a cargo ship stowaway and feeling very VERY apprehensive about it since she gets motion sickness from the PTSD of hearing how her parents died.

[KatherinWinter]

@Mistiel you almost got the mention. It's easier if you it the button. It's not too late we are starting day three. I am not sure I understand your character's power. It sounds like her voice travels, which seems pointless, in the power section but in the bio it sounds like she actually traveled physically.

[Mistiel]

@KatherinWinter I hope this explains it better than I can. It's basically the power Jacen Solo possesses in the Star Wars extended universe book. starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Flow-walking

And actually, I might like to change that so she can attempt to foretell the future as well as learn from the past. I'd strictly keep the "always in motion is the future" thing in place so her predictions have an excellent chance of being very wrong.

[KatherinWinter]

@Mistiel I haven't made it that far into the serious. I don't like powers that can have change other characters history or future. You'll have to be VERY careful with s power like this.

[Mistiel]

You'll have to be VERY careful with s power like this.

@KatherinWinter

Which is why I left it up to you to determine such things as the range (I'm thinking she can see just the past events of a room). If she gets a glimpse of a possible future, it's one that you allow her to have (or tell me to make her have {preferred}, muhaha). My motto on any sort of fortune telling really is "always in motion is the future."

[LiegeLord]

@Mistiel@KatherinWinter

Ya Katherin's determination on what goes on, and if it has anything to do about someone else's future maybe shout them a PM just to ask beforehand or even ask them here in the OOC. Had the same stuff before in previous RPs, best to ask someone before making something happen for their characters. Avoids people getting mad and Meta. Just throwing thoughts out.

[Mistiel]

I completely agree. Her future reading ability is probably going to be like one blurred cryptic image that could mean anything. The main application of her power I wanted to use though, was like to have her walk into a room, flow walk and know everything that's happened (Actions, conversations, etc.) in that room in like, say, a certain time span. Would five minutes be fair? Ten? I might need to rewrite the bio a wee bit since I threw out a random 1960s date. O,o)

Say, if someone stole something, Lin could use her power to try to flow walk back that number of minutes and see who stole what with a guesstimation of when (unless she could see a present clock's past time).

[KatherinWinter]

@Mistiel she's approved. She. An arrive with our other new arrivals

[Mistiel]

So now I can post the hider thing in the character page? Just let me know when I'm allowed to post and if there are anything other tips that have sprung up since you wrote your rules page. Don't mind me, I'll just be playing ketchup reading through all the previous IC posts. (I'm intentionally avoiding reading the Character tab so Lin doesn't magically know everything about her new comrades.)

[KatherinWinter]

@Mistiel Yes you can move your hider into the Character tab. And you can post in the IC whenever you get caught up.

[Sazama]

I'm interested in joining and will work on a CS soon but are new people required to read all of the IC?

[KatherinWinter]

@KimmiNinja LOL. No. Not at all. We are starting a new day.

[Sazama]

Val Tiné

Name: Val Tiné
Age: 16
Ability:
Bloody Mary: She can turn her blood acidic like and burn when it touches another thing/person without hurting herself with it. She can also make the blood solidify and form shapes out of her hands (tiny shapes not like a full sword for now). She wears one ring on each hand with a hidden blade so that she can cut her palms to access her blood.
The more she uses her power aka the more blood being let out the weaker she becomes before she faints from blood loss.

Bio: Mary grew up being feared and thrown away. Apparently having acidic blood spewing out of your body would get you labeled as a “demon child”. She was thrown around household to household, and eventually not even the church would take her in. Because of this she tends to act rash and has a “take no shit” attitude. She hates weak people but at the same time hates people who push others around and act high and mighty. Val hates violence but because of her personality, it becomes an inevitable force in her life.

Here is my CS hope it is okay!

[Mistiel]

S-s-s-scary! *whimpers*

Hey Bloody Mary! How're you doing today? I hope you enjoy our thread Bloody Mary! Your power is definitely unique, Bloody M....phew that was a close one! :/

[KatherinWinter]

@KimmiNinja interesting choice. I've had blood powers used before. Approved

[Sazama]

@KatherinWinter

Awesome I chose to base the power from a character from "Darker than Black" who flings his explosive blood at people :V

Also would now be a good time to introduce my character in the story? I have time after classes today to write a post
