Let me know when we get to the school. I'm not really sure what I can contribute until then

[tipssyCalibrator]

I'm thinking I might need to cut Hana and Sumiko's conversation short and start the intro in my next post, cause we need to get a move on (sorry Vita :/)

[13org]

@tipssyCalibrator

Currently we need a good amount of staff members, right?

[Silver Carrot]

Contemplating an actual student character, who'd be rich, good looking and talented and therefore an antagonist, though I haven't decided on much, including their gender. I'm drawn towards basing them off Mendo (Urusei Yatsura) if they're a guy (basically an overdramatic goof) or Diana (Little Witch Acedemia) if they're a girl (Basically the 'straight guy' to the rest of the comic cast)

[tipssyCalibrator]

@13org
Yep, we still could use more staff members

@Silver Carrot
Sounds fine to me

[Cu Chulainn]

The next char idea is a down to earth formee Yakuza member who everyone is afraid of for being a former Yakuza member

Mina

Name: Kasuke Mina

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Personality: Mina is quiet, mature and serious. She carries herself with an air of superiority. Though she would not admit to having a high-and-mighty attitude, she does, but if you asked her, it's everyone else who has the attitude problem. She's simply minding her own business. She does take a subdued pride in maintaining her academic reputation, and is very studious.

Due to her nature, she doesn't have many friends, though she may occasionally get a girl who thinks that people will think that they're smart if she follows Mina everywhere and bullies people, or a guy who thinks he's Prince Charming, and falls for her beauty. Do they really think they're actually being charming when they talk about roses and moonlight like they're rehearsing Shakespeare? Shrugging these leeches off has only worsened her reputation as a stuck up "too-good-for-everyone-else" type, while making Mina herself more cautious about making new friends.

If there's one thing she can't stand, it's the loud, obnoxious mouth-over-brain type. Because of this, she has a slight bias against Augmenters. Stating that you're an Augmenter will not make a good first impression if you don't want Mina to look down on you.

Backstory:Mina is the only child of a very wealthy and prestigious family. Raised to meet her parents' lofty expectations, she not only met them, but surpassed them. She was nothing short of a child prodigy, and her family was very proud. Then, shortly after her 15th birthday, her powers manifested, and all the plans that had been made for her went out the widow once she received the offer to study her new abilities at then institute. She had to put her foot down and oppose her parent's wishes to pursue a higher education. She was still going to pursue a doctorate (though she hasn't decided in what field yet) but her newfound channelling abilities come first. She was given them for a reason, she she was going to find out what.

Her first year at the institute was unsurprisingly a good year. She scored highest marks of the class in every academic subject. There were students with more impressive powers than her, but she still received very high marks in her physically classes for clever combinations of her light manipulation and her hand-to-hand fighting, honed from years of private self-defence classes. She made a fair few enemies that year, apparently. She didn't notice. She had no time for that sort of thing. Let the other kids be jealous. It wasn't her fault they cant' apply themselves well enough to match her grades.

Appearance:

Mina

Equipment: A plentiful supply of fountain pens and quality notebooks inside her designer satchel. Also a smartphone.

Abilities: Mina was taught self-defence based martial arts from a young age, for the purpose of protecting herself. She's also incredibly intelligent and a very quick learner. She can also play piano like an expert and cook like an adult.

Channeller category: Wavecaster

Description of power: Mina can create and manipulate light, currently only being able to light up her body and 'glow', or project it from her hands in torch-like beams, though she has the potential to be able to concentrate her light to create laser beams, and to remove light from a lit area, effectively making her able to manipulate darkness.

Names/descriptions of moves: Mina does not give her abilities special combat names. That's an immature waste of time.

-Glowing body
-Torch beam
-Blinding Flash

-Laser beams from her eyes and index fingers (eventually)
-Blackout (eventually)

Thinking in making maybe a 18 year old character.
Graduated last year. Came back to the school as an intern teacher.

He isn't a staff member per se, but it could still help other teachers, watch their classes and even take a pupil, if the student in question so desires.

Thought about that so I could interact with the other students a little bit more, and at the same time, supply the RP need for "staff members" (to pair students with their mentors.

@Silver Carrot
Character looks good, accepted

@Cu Chulainn@13org
Both of those character ideas sound pretty good

[13org]

@tipssyCalibrator

Adittionaly, a Chinese character, maybe an instructor for eastern martial arts.
Using a jade handmade flute (dizi) with a shortsword inside.
Still uncertain about its power: either sound or wind.

[tipssyCalibrator]

@13org
If you choose sound as a power, I would recommend taking inspiration from the sound guys in Naruto, they had some pretty interesting abilities

[Silver Carrot]

@tipssyCalibrator@13org

I knew a guy in an X-men rp who could generate sound waves, and if he matched the frequency of a target sound, the waves would cancel out, meaning he could basically mute things.

[tipssyCalibrator]

Wouldja look at that, the introduction is finally happening!

[13org]

@tipssyCalibrator @Silver Carrot

My idea was to use sound as pressure waves. To confuse the enemies and mess with their spatial orienting (making them dizzy, vertigo, nausea & etc.), cause internal damage (as pressure waves) or even to produce pressurized air waves to cut things (not slash cleanly in half, that would be both OP and kinda ridiculous. Maybe a wound superficial enough to not hit internal organs or other vital areas, but deep enough to wound muscles or tendons to incapacitate targets.)

Something like that. Sound has a LOT of applications.

Idk why, but it was so freaking hard to find a nice picture of a jade flute.

[Yuuta]

@clanjos Is Terri going to acknowledge Ryuuto's existence, or is she gonna leave him hanging?

[Cu Chulainn]

I think I'll go the opposite route of Yuki where this guy's pretty old and has reached the peak of his powers through hard work and determination instead of just being born with them.

He's an Augmenter who has meditated with Tibetan monks, playing off the idea that monks do these amazing things because they are exceptional channelers. He's going to look young for his age because of reaching the peak in Augmenting, and the monastic idea of "perfection of the body"

@13org

Yep, those are pretty much all the powers of Naruto's sound ninja characters. Two of them used weapons that made loud sounds, then used their powers to control the sounds and make them dizzy, nauseous, etc, and another one used a combination of air pressure and sound to shoot giant blasts of wind

I believe there was another one who actually used a flute as well, but I don't remember her quite as well (don't remember most of the events after the chuunin exams, though I have seen them)
