[OOC] After the Asteroid-Closed

[alexfangtalon]

@FunnyGuy Do you know what kind of power you want?

[FunnyGuy]

@Wick

Another question. When you mention that the powers don't grow, do you mean that it's more about having control over the powers you already have. I was thinking about making a character with dust or sand manipulation, except all he can currently do is turn his body into a pile of sand/dust lmao.

Hey a teleporter would be cool

@FunnyGuy@Wick

Hey a teleporter would be cool

@RumikoOhara

I was so tempted to make one.

[RumikoOhara]

@FunnyGuy

He could accidentally pop into the ladies showers and use lack of control as an excuse

[Wick]

@FunnyGuy

Powers start out at full power. They will not get stronger but that doesn't mean you know how to use them right off either. Most of them are going to realize quickly that the powers are tied to their emotions so there will be a trigger they have to find to make them work. Fear, Joy, Anger these would trigger the power.

And if you teleported into the side of an active volcano you better trigger it fast to get out of there. :)

I made them a picture banner for that last post lol.

I made them a picture banner for that last post lol.

@Wick

Yeah, I saw. Good job.

@alexfangtalon @King Tai @RumikoOhara I'll have a post for Jae later.

[alexfangtalon]

Yeah a teleporter may be dangerous. Nightcrawler has a secondary innate power called temporal awareness, I think that's the name. It basically is him knowing where everything that surrounds him is and how large a room is and how much space is on the other side of the wall. That's why he never teleports himself into a wall.

[Wick]

Oh super strength is available again since Metronome left.

@FunnyGuy

@FunnyGuy Also with the powers growing/not growing thing think of it this way. Technically, for the X-Men their powers don't actually grow. They have full access to them the moment they get them. It's their skill and ability to use said power that grows.

Take Kwan and her power for instance. (If you've seen the Flash tv show then skip the explanation) It is just like a normal runner. They get faster and faster the more they train. Their bodies have the physical capabilities to run at a certain speed from the get go(couldn't think of something better to say there). They just have to practice and practice to make themselves go as fast as they can go. With Kwan her body has the capabilities of a certain level of speed. She may not be able to hit them at first but that is due to her not training her body to accept the speed she can go. She still has the full force of her speed, but it is her skill that holds her back.

My CS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Character Photo

Character name: Alexander “Lex” Jackson

Age: 22

Height/Weight: 6’0/175

Personality: Alexander is probably one of the most curious people someone might meet. Not only that, he’s somewhat of a risk taker/thrill seeker. Whether if it is on his own on with others, Alexander does not find it hard to have a good time. He jokes around frequently with those he becomes close to, but isn’t afraid to clown around a bit with strangers. The only thing he is not so excited about is his power if he can ever call it that. Alexander believes he possibly has one of the worst powers in the bunker and asks others about theirs to either be curious or to see if his happens to be “cooler.” Despite his fun-loving side, Alexander can be a bit overconfident at times as well. Though he puts on such a lively face, Alexander uses it hide the grief he’s felt in this last year. Why not lighten mood?

History: Alexander attended Texas A&M University for Biology, leaving his younger brother, his parents, and most of the rest of his family in Los Angeles. Long story short, the asteroid struck and he was lucky to be close to the bunker while going on a camping trip up north. (More to be revealed through character interaction).

Skills: Alexander is in decent shape and would almost consider himself athletic. Before the world pretty much ended, Alexander kept himself active while attending Texas A&M University to earn a degree in Biology. Alexander would not call himself a martial artist, but he can throw a mean punch. Alexander. Lastly, he can be plenty creative, makes decent nurse, and a horrible cook.

Power: Dust Manipulation

Abilities: At the moment, Alexander can only turn himself into a sad pile of dust. He hates his power. Once he gets a better grip on his ability, he will be able to not only to form and manipulate his body, but also manipulate existing dust particles to his liking. It’s not that Alexander cannot accomplish these feats already, he just sort of has a bit of a mental block.

Weakness: Alexander cannot create dust out of thin air and will need to rely on existing dust particles in his vicinity. Controlling foreign dust particles can be strenuous as it is equivalent to adding extra weight to one’s body during resistance training.

Extra or Miscellaneous Information: N/A

@FunnyGuy

okay accepted please put it in the cs tab

[RumikoOhara]

Dam now I'm thinking of a second character that is a strength type

Couldn't resist

Trinity

---

---

Age: 19

Height/Weight: 5’10” / 151 pnds/ 722 pnds

Personality: Friendly is the way most describe Trinity because she’s always helpful and never seems to get angry.
Spooky because she has an eye for terrain in which she claims to be able to see the outlines of old buildings or camps which also makes her an excellent tracker of animals and people.

History: Trinity was born in Brooklyn New York to Michael and Irene Two Bears and an only child but was soon moved out to Idaho when she was 5 years old while her dad was deployed overseas.

Her father was in the special forces and his dangerous job finally caught up to him when she was 7 which forced her mother to move the family once more to live with her relatives in Washington state. Her grandfather there ran a surveyor's office and she grew up with her cousins who lived nearby acting as her surrogate siblings.

It was a fun life living at the edge of the north woods in a family that was at home in the wild as they were in their own homes and Trinity learned quickly to run with them as a pack.

She graduated High school at 17 and went to work like her cousins in her grandfather’s company as a survey technician.

It was while working on a project in the area that she was pulled in the bunker with her uncle

Skills: Rock Climbing/Rappelling,Horseback Riding, Hunting, Technician level Field Engineer, Tracking and Animal Husbandry

Power: Mega Strength

Abilities: Trinity can press over 30 tons above her head and this strength can also allow her with practice enhanced jumping up to 100’ vertical and 100 yards horizontal

Weakness:With her strength came muscle and bone density that ups her body weight to 722 pounds forcing her to be unable to sit in normal chairs or sleep in the cots.

She has trouble handling delicate objects because let’s face it she doesn’t know her own strength

@Wick

Could I get a recap. I read some of the posts on the first page. I just need an appropriate place to start and information my character would know of.

[Venku]

@FunnyGuy Another Alex good thing you put his nickname as Lex or maybe it is too bad now we can't do the thing where someone says Alex and they both respond. Interestingly enough their abilities can synergize well Air+Dust "With our powers combined I am Duststorm!" lol

[Kyrisse]

Quick Summary (please feel free to add in stuff guys)

- The bunker doors were opened a year after the asteroid hit.
- As soon as the doors were opened, people began dying (particularly the older ones), the younger ones made an effort to try and save as much people as they can but most eventually died.
- Those that survived developed symptoms similar to the flu.
- On day 5, everyone started manifesting their powers. (see character profiles for said powers)
- The bunker is low on food so it's become imperative for the survivors to go out and try to find some. Kwan brought back some peaches so YAY!
- Currently: Robert Moore is still in a sort of coma. Jae Park is interacting with Kai, Jake and Kwan in the cafeteria. Audrianna is out hunting with the Commander. Harley and Alex just caught a piggy and plans on making bacon with it as soon as Kwan butchers it.

[Wick]

@FunnyGuy

See Kyrisse's summary above.

[RumikoOhara]

Okay pig about butchered and hate to break it to you but Bacon needs curing and smoking

Oh and we need to find a source of salt

[Wick]

@RumikoOhara

I have no idea how to cure or smoke meat. Do you?
