Lydia Xiong.

∘ Age ∘

Twenty Five.

∘ Height/Weight ∘

Five foot three. One hundred and five pounds.

∘ Personality ∘

Protective. Classy. Selfless. Independent. Loyal. Educated.

∘ History ∘

Lydia spent her early years in a very conservative Chinese American household. She kept herself busy whilst growing up, with multiple after school activities, homework assignments, music recitals, and extra chores at home. In other words; Lydia was quite the over-overachiever. Her parents were only just slightly proud as their one and only "sorta" talented child became Valedictorian of her high school graduating class of over 1,400 students, and was granted several scholarships to high qualifying universities across the country.

Early to rise and early to bed, makes a girl healthy.. but socially dead.

Lydia found this statement to be true quickly out as she started into her university of choice. Her three dorm mates often ignored her and just assumed that the girl would not want to go out with them even if they asked. They never ask. Depression, loneliness, and anxiety overwhelmed Lydia only a few semesters in to her degree. It was at this time, Lydia began thinking more morbid about life's meaning and her self worth. What was the point?

She decided she needed a redo.

She bleached her hair, tatted up, and told everyone that had ever doubted her to kindly fuck off.

After finishing her degree she wasn't too surprised that the world decided to toss back her angst at her in the form of a asteroid hitting the Earth. She was the only one in her family to survive, and one of the few to survive in the whole world. When the flu like symptoms came, Lydia powered through it like a champ, knowing that with enough strength any feat can be completed. It was surely surprising when the new powers came along with it.

The point of life was just beginning.

Character name: Kwan Long

Age:21

Height/Weight: 5’5”/110

Personality: Kwan is an odd personality type because she has learned to hide her true self behind a carefully created public image of herself because she was being groomed as a Kung Fu Action Star. Her facade is a young cheerful woman who blushes and teases with equal time to each state. She is brave and aggressive in combat and friendly when at rest; always ready to help she is filled with boundless energy.

Her private self is very calculating, always aware of how her actions paint her and strives to be perceived as a sexy but approachable woman who you can have a drink with and always the good girl . She is a speedster in physical action and thought and her perception to reaction time as expected by someone who runs so fast she can run up near vertical surfaces or across water; which means she sometimes as perceived as rash.

She is definitely a thrill seeker and gets a kick out of combat or practice because of her whirling style and when she’s not fighting gets a kick from extreme terrain following or Parkour.

History: Kwan is not her true name because while she speaks beautiful Mandarin she is actually born in South Korea and only half Chinese it was legally changed from Suzi when she was taken on by the Hong Kong Opera as an apprentice. Like all her fellow players Kwan was always in hot competition to outdo her company and because of it had to develop the good girl Kung Fu fighter hero of justice that sold tickets.

She like many in the opera in the beginning was more focused on acrobatics than actual fighting but as she got older she began developing her own forms so that she stood out from the cast . She was a quick study and working with a mentor she developed a style she called Little Whirlwind and was soon a supporting actor being groomed as a star then the company was sold out by the aging brothers who ran it and she was without work which is why she moved to America seeking work in crime dramas and movies

Skills: Acrobatics, Kung Fu, Acting, Primitive Weapons, Costuming, Cooking and Mechanics (though by no means mech is professional level)

Power: Speed

Abilities: Kwan is Fast, so Fast she can dodge machine gun fire because she can see them in flight (to her bullets seem to move at best 5 kph)
She does everything at high speed when she isn’t interacting with others (Max as of the writing of this report Mach 5)

Weaknesses: Kwan must constantly seek foods especially sweets to replenish her energy reserves. But that’s not her only weakness for she also has trouble with the cold and must vibrate to keep warm which makes it difficult for her to understand or be understood by others; long term exposure is even more problematic causing her to eventually slow down to nearly normal.

[Wick]

@MissCapnCrunch She is accepted. Please put her in a hider in the cs tab.

[Wick]

@RumikoOhara
I think she is coming along very well. I love the movie career. :)

[King Tai]

@MissCapnCrunch@RumikoOhara

Nothing like a double dose of Asian Sensation

[Wick]

@King Tai I added a map and a location so they know where we all are. I don't have a way to do the map any better yes it looks a little like I took a big crayola marker to it. :P So sue me!

@Wick

No complaint here- wait....the nation's dingaling(Florida) has been cut off :'( but its all good though. I like the map either. I know I wouldn't have been able to make that shit lol

[Kyrisse]

@Wick Is fire elemental claimed already?

[Wick]

@RumikoOhara

Abilities: Kwan is Fast, so Fast she can dodge machine gun fire because she can see them in flight (to her bullets seem to move at best 5 kph)
She does everything at high speed when she isn’t interacting with others
She moves well over the speed of sound. (you can have up to Mach 5 but no speed force or time travel)

but her clothing and hair seem more affected by inertia than the air which demonstrate she has some form of special field around her (this would not be a part of super speed powers)

Weaknesses: Kwan must constantly exercise or begin vibrating this is because she is constantly filling up with energy and if she lets up for a little bit she begins having trouble understanding people or being understood by them. But that’s not her only weakness for she also has trouble with the cold and must vibrate to keep warm which once more makes it difficult for her to understand or be understood by others; long term exposure is even more problematic causing her to eventually slow down to nearly normal.

I am getting a picture in my head of a girl who can't go to sleep. If she can't sleep eventually she would die. She wouldn't be constantly filled with energy unless she ate huge amounts of food. (Make the "large amounts of food intake" her weakness) She could vibrate to keep warm obviously.

Make these changes and she will be good to go!

[Wick]

@Kyrisse

No it's not. I take it you would like that one.

[Kyrisse]

@Wick
You got that right.
Making my character now. It'll take a while cause I'm creating 5 new characters now.

[Wick]

@Kyrisse

5? now I'm confused.

[Kyrisse]

@Wick
1 for this roleplay, 4 for the other roleplays I was invited to.

[Wick]

@Kyrisse

Wow, you are going to be really busy.

[Wick]

@Shadow Daedalus

Did you get badly hurt in your accident? How are you doing now? I was wondering why you weren't on as much. I just attributed it to the holidays and school.

As long as I know you can't do 3x a week and you post at least once a week I think I can handle it. If you still want to just put that at the bottom of your c.s. so I don't forget.

She moves well over the speed of sound. (you can have up to Mach 5 but no speed force or time travel)No worries here I never liked the Speed Force because it seemed so odd

but her clothing and hair seem more affected by inertia than the air which demonstrate she has some form of special field around her (this would not be a part of super speed powers)Here I was making reference to the idea that most Speedsters must have some minor kind of force field that allows them to breath at High speed as well as escape the effects of friction; it doesn't provide any special protection beyond that but might later

Weaknesses: Kwan must constantly exercise or begin vibrating this is because she is constantly filling up with energy and if she lets up for a little bit she begins having trouble understanding people or being understood by them. But that’s not her only weakness for she also has trouble with the cold and must vibrate to keep warm which once more makes it difficult for her to understand or be understood by others; long term exposure is even more problematic causing her to eventually slow down to nearly normal.

Made changes and refined explanations

[Aeternum]

Character name
Robert Moore

Age
15

Height/Weight
5ft. 8in. | 143 lbs.

Personality
Even before the asteroids and the awakening, or whatever people were calling that damned event, Robert was never the most social person. He had always been a cynical introvert who had never quite grasped human interaction. He had few friends, didn't speak much, and preferred to sit in the back of the classroom at school. He was never a troublemaker. He preferred to avoid the spotlight and the trouble. He always hated lies, even the little white lies. Before the event, he was already antsy and a little paranoid, afterward, well, his newfound powers sure didn't help.

History
Be careful what you wish for, and Robert damn well wished he'd kept that saying in mind.

If only I could read minds. My life would be so much easier then.

As it turned out, that was the stupidest idea he'd ever had.

Robert was born to a solidly middle class couple and grew up in Oklahoma. He was never bullied, his parents were satisfied so long as his grades were decent, he never got into fights, he never did drugs, never had a classmate die, etc. Well, at least, he always thought his life was average. In the summers he'd go camping or hiking or backpacking with a friend or two, or a group from his town. He hunted a little too, got to try his hands at a little survival stuff, and outdoor recreation.

When he was stressed out, he'd listen to music, took walks, or he grabbed his gear and went on short hikes. He was returning to his friend's car with a small group back from a multi-day backpacking trip, when he was picked up by the military and deposited into a local bunker. For that year, he worried relentlessly about his parents as he tried to manage on his own in the bunker.

It didn't help when, after a year, the bunker was reopened and people started dropping like flies. God, he'd thought life was tough when cooped up in a bunker with a bunch of stressed out strangers, but if he'd had to choose between another year in the bunker and what happened that week, he'd choose another year without hesitation.

People were terrified, it was chaos. The events that week, didn't manage to inure him to the sight and stench of corpses, but he did manage to reach a level of tolerance he'd never imagined was possible for him.

When he first began hearing murmurs in his head, he'd thought it was hallucinations from the fever. He thought it would pass, but well... it didn't.

Skills
Decent swimmer

Piecemeal Backpacking/Camping/Wilderness survival skills.

Not sure how much his experiences will apply, though what with mutated creatures and the difficulties in getting geared up. Maps would be useless too.

Power
Telepathy

Abilities
As far as Robert's current abilities go, he can only passively read/hear surface thoughts (what a person is thinking of/what's at the forefront of a person's mind).

Eventually when he learns to block out the minds of others, he will be able to learn how to use his ability to communicate telepathically with other people (starting from one at a time to larger groups later) and seek out the surface thoughts and presence of people (based on the feel of their minds).

It is possible that, if his abilities grow well, he will learn to manipulate people by inserting/nudging their thoughts in a certain direction (will definitely require lots of practice though) and learn to read deeper thoughts, eventually.

As his control over his powers grow, he will be able to use his telepathy more actively and for longer periods of time. It's like a muscle. The more you use it, so long as you don't overdo it, the stronger it will become.

Weakness
A very obvious early weakness would be his inability to shut out other's surface thoughts. Until he learns to block people out, he will constantly be hearing voices in his head which can and will disorient him and distract him.

Until he learns to block out the thoughts of others, strong thoughts will likely overwhelm him, and he can and will get lost in the thoughts of others. As such, as far as he's concerned, the less people around him, the better.

Strong thoughts of pain, fear death, or cruelty could mentally hurt him. As long as he's open, he's susceptible to manipulation (if someone knows what they're doing, or his thoughts are subtle or strong enough).

When he learns to use telepathy to communicate, there will be the risk of "leakage" of his thoughts where he might accidentally let people hear his thoughts.

As far as his ability to nudge people in the direction he wishes it, it will be hard to successfully nudge others. Too much and they'll know someone is messing with their mind and put their guards up. Too little, and it has very little effect. Too much can also result in people getting angry and threatening and well, if people know who's screwing with their heads, they're going to go for that person.

If he does it wrong as well, it won't sound like their own thoughts, and that's another way people can realize someone is trying to manipulate their minds. He'd basically have to match the nudge to the person. The wrong type of nudge will put someone's guard up, or make them behave differently than he wants.

By nudge of course, I'm referring to small thoughts added in to try to lead someone's thoughts in the direction he wants. Like a tiny doubtful thought etc.

Strong minds could overpower his and crush his own until he learns to protect his mind from them.

Using his powers actively is an exercise. He will use up far more energy when actively using his powers and will therefore need more food and rest.

Overuse of his power could result in:

headaches, physical pain, nausea, extreme fatigue, falling ill, reduced immunity, unconsciousness, entering a comatose state, brain death, insanity, losing the ability to filter thoughts/protect his mind (depending on how far along he is)

@Wick Nothing too major, a large friction burn on my hip and a bit of joint pain but no fractures or anything so I should be alright in a couple more days. I haven't been in much because of college work, and getting around takes much longer. The bike is in for repairs until next Thursday so I've had to rely on public transport, meaning a 15 minute drive turns into a 1 and a half hour bus journey.

[Kyrisse]

@Shadow Daedalus
Sorry to hear that you were in an accident. Hope you get well soon from your injuries.
