4"8' || 97lbs "Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results."
Name: Elaine "Lain" Cross
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Species/Race: Shapeshifter
Powers: Shift - Lain can shift into different forms. She has one form that she can easily transform into, a Wolf, but the others take some time and effort. She has one shift that will avoid at all costs, to the point of not even mentioning it or why. Her power is a bit unstable and occasionally, she may lose control over herself when she shifts. The only form she will never lose control in is the Wolf form.
Weaknesses: Control - As mentioned before Lain has a hard time controlling her powers and her different forms. The more tame the form, the more easily she can control them. The same goes for how often she has shifted into that form. The more time she spends in a certain form will increase her control over it but... at what cost?
Shy - Lain is rather shy when it comes to using her powers. She doesn't like using them because they scare her but she will often use her wolf form to get out of situations that make her uncomfortable.
Weak - Lain, in her human form, is very weak. If she does not shift, she is of use to no one, really. She is not strong and cannot lift heavy things and she gets sick very easily.
Personality: Elaine is a very shy individual, especially when it comes to talking about her powers. She tries very hard to break out of her shell but often chickens out before really getting anywhere. She is not very brave and given the choice of fight or flight, she will always choose flight. She cannot stand violence of any degree and would rather avoid conflict than face it head on.
Background: Elaine grew up with normal parents but... when she shifted for the first time she nearly killed her best friend. From that point on, her parents feared her, as much as they tried not to. Elaine understood this from a young age. Her parents loved her, but who wouldn't be scared of a toddler than could shift into a full sized bear and kill you all without realizing she was doing it. Elaine, from there, was shifted from orphanage to orphanage, never really staying in one place for very long. She had friends but once she shifted without meaning to, it was all lost. Everyone was afraid of her, no one was an exception. By the time Elaine turned 13, she'd finally found a way to control her emotions so that she didn't shift every time someone scared her or made her angry. However, even now, given a large enough shock, Elaine may still shift without warning.
-says it will take longer- -it doesn't take longer- -are we surprised?, no-
And there you go. This'll be the first character I've played under 18 in a very, very long time. Takes me back to the days of that one RP I can't even remember the name of anymore. RIP.
Well this is the guy. Pm me any issues (don't wanna clutter up the ooc...)
Name: Kaze Age: 18 Appearance: Kaze is a tall being, standing at eight feet tall. Everything about him says 'intimidation', from the claws on his fingers to the teeth in his mouth. His body is covered in black scales while his chin to the tip of his tail are royal purple colored plates. His eyes, which glow the slightest bit, are a deep crimson while his horns and claws are pure white.
Power:Dragon's Blood
Enhanced Strength: His degree of strength is exceptionally high, able to flip or throw vehicles.
Enhanced Senses: Being bestial his sense of smell and hearing are enhanced. Taste and touch are reduced while sight remains largely untouched.
Armored Body: The scales and plates lining his body are exceptionally tough, up there with steel but still able to be damaged.
Heat Resistance: Being a reptile he enjoys the heat, sometimes even just curling up in flames.
Heavy: While he does have wings, he's simply to heavy to actually fly unless he's dropped from a really high point.
Cold Weakness: He despises the cold. It either makes him hibernate, or if he's exposed long enough it will kill him.
Permanent: Unfortunately he has yet to 'turn it off'. So he can't even hide what he is like most other people.
Background: Kaze honestly doesn't remember much of his past. Doesn't remember any family, what he looked like before his abilities showed, nor his homeland. There was just a tag on his wrist with a name on it while he wandered around the wilderness aimlessly. Word got out about some giant beast wandering some forest somewhere and he was eventually confronted by some of the people who worked at the Safe Haven. He reluctantly went with them, mostly because he understood his differences from others and that someone overzealous would probably shoot him. Figures he remembers what guns are but not anything deemed important by normal society. While learning in the school he had hoped to find a way to control his ability to actually 'turn it off'. So far he either hasn't found the trick or simply can't.
Name:Eric J Keller Age:16 Appearance: Power:Photographic Reflexes, You ever wish that you could do something just by watching someone do it? Eric can, he can watch someone and pick up on their fighting style almost instantly, he could wield a sword like a master in a matter of weeks, he can become a top shot just by watching someone, and sports has never been a problem. Background:Eric was born in a poor neighborhood, his family was happy to have him. But when he started to demonstrate his powers he ran away, not wanting to get his family involved. But due to the nature of his powers Eric isn't as targeted as other powered individuals, which he used to his advantage of course.
He used his power to earn money for himself on the streets, but as things tend to do, life changed. He got caught, so he ran, he had heard tell of Haven, so he fled there. Hoping that they would take him in, hoping that he could forget his life there.
Lucky is 5'9'' in height and 145lbs, with a lithe build gained from many years of yoga and martial arts. Her eyes, as well as her tattoo on her cheek, change color depending on her mood, and they always appear to have an inner glow about them.
Power
Her body (her blood, saliva, hair, etc.) is capable of producing regenerative and curative powers. Her capability with the powers is immense, but that isn't to say that the healing is without a cost. It will take the energy from the one being healed to produce its results. If the one being healed is near death, they will require a good amount of rest and plenty of nourishment to get back on their feet.
Her curative powers are just that, the ability to fight sickness, disease, and, it is speculated, with enough practice, perhaps combat cancer, cure blindness, as well as the more deadly afflictions. She isn't quite at this level yet, and is afraid to begin delving more into it (more in the Background section). All of this healing is done with the willingness of the subject in mind, she cannot force her powers on others.
In addition to being able to heal, she can reinforce parts of her body to toughen up to the durability of dense wood. Breakable, but not easily done. It also tires her out, as it is using her own energy. She has manipulation over her hair (and, more rarely done, her nails), which gives her the illusion of having tentacle-like hair.
Background
Lucky grew up in a privileged lifestyle, her parents being specialized surgeons, as well as very affluent in their fields. She was the youngest of five children, raised mostly by her family's butler and had very little interaction with her parents due to their demanding lifestyles. Lucky didn't hate them for it, but instead held adoration for them being so dedicated to the craft. She dreamt of growing up to be a surgeon like her parents, helping to save lives and do good in the world.
However, when she was handed the powers that could help her achieve her dreams, it was anything but what she imagined.
She was ten years old, and it was a rare weekend that her parents and siblings had time to take off from their jobs to be together. It was a blissful event that turned quickly into a horrific nightmare for them when an enraged man broke in and accused Lucky's mother of killing his daughter. In his revenge, he lashed out and grabbed the nearest person, which happened to be Lucky, and stabbed her several times in the stomach before he was apprehended.
Her family didn't even have time to begin to mourn their loss, when all of the sudden Lucky's hair began to change color quickly into bio-luminescent green and wrap her up in a dense protective cocoon. She stayed this way for nearly a month. When she finally emerged, she was poked and prodded by doctors and scientists, especially by those specializing in the supernatural phenomena taking place in children. It was quickly ascertained that she held astounding regenerative powers, and, more astonishingly, the ability to cure sicknesses. Nearly all of the methods used to test her powers were borderline torture, and her parents began to have less and less say in their daughter's well being.
Lucky was forced to undergo painful procedures, as well as to heal patients for nearly a year before her parents were able to extract her from her unwelcome prison. They immediately sought out the Safe Haven and brought their daughter there, believing it the best place for Lucky's safety (as well as their own). She has been at the Haven for nearly five years now.
She typically stays away from using her powers due to her unpleasant past, and has had markedly horrible power progression during her time at the Haven. Despite all of this, Lucky is a rather outgoing girl who is quick to smile and easy to talk to.
@AphelionI do to, last RP we had together was the pokemon/med fant crossover, it's so good to see you again. And it seems, you are coming back after a hiatus to. :P
@Enalais Yeah I didn't have a lot of time to RP, but I'm excited to start up again. It's always more fun with people you've played with before too. :3 Here's to hoping our characters get along. Or don't. You know, whichever is more fun. :D
@Kaesus Thanks! I hope her power doesn't seem too broken. She's basically all support, barely any offense. I'm thinking that she'll have some interactions with both of the teachers due to her reluctance to actually employ her powers.
Should I wait before replying to @Enalais to give @HylianRose a chance to say something? I'm not sure what the etiquette is for conversation in RPs to be honest.
