If you're referring to @Eleven and I's collab, it might be a bit because she mentioned that she's going to be slow at writing due to the CA fires. :(

@Lionhearted

I don't mind waiting. It just feels a little too soon for me to post again.

Cheers!

I mean there's been four and we are a small group. I would say there's been sufficient time and you have your own subplot to resolve/advance so I really see no reason why you'd want to wait any further at this point.

@Lord Wraith

Good point.

I don't know why I keep thinking more people are gonna post. Sorry!

I'll get to work on a post then!

Cheers!

@Prisk

Hey, wanna do a collab post with me to wrap up the bathroom scene?

I think it would be fun and easier that way.

Since there are less of us RPing now, I don't think we really have to wait to wrap it up and progress our characters at the same time.

Cheers!

Sure thing! It would have to be through PM, though.

Through PM?

Hmm....

Can you collab through Google Docs or something like titan/pirate pad?

[Mirandae]

@Aeolian
That works too! I'm typically not in anyone's time zone, so collabs become delayed back and forth either way.

@Prisk

No worries!

We can get started on a Google Doc or Titanpad tomorrow then! I'll link you to it once I've started it. :)

Cheers!

[Aeolian]

@Prisk

Sending you the link in Google Docs!

Lets get this collab started! :)

Cheers!

As an odd question but do the characters have to be teens or would it be possible to make someone older say in the 40+?

@Archangel89

The plot of the RP is explicitly set around a group of students and all player characters are to be members of that group.

[Archangel89]

@Lord Wraith ok just checking I had an idea for a faculty type (teacher maybe) who was older but, if you're still accepting applications that is, I can fix my idea around to make it fit.

@Archangel89

Still accepting applications for sure but yeah, a member of the faculty just doesn't work for the intended vision of the RP.

_______________________________________________ Conner Nathaniel Hughes _______________________________________________ 18 | ♂ | Bisexual _______________________________________________ Physical Profile ___________________________________ [+] //Basics: • Height | 6'-8" • Weight | 231 lbs • Ethnicity | Caucasian • Hair Colour | Auburn • Eye Colour | Reddish orange //Piercings/Tattoos/Scars: • Scars mar his arms and he has a large scar running down his back two inches wide. | Description Abilities, Skills and Resources ___________________________________ [+] //Abilites: • Hyperhuman Ability | Transformation and Pyrokinesis: Conner can create and control fire. There isn’t much to be said about this power as it is fairly straightforward. The fire he commands is oil based, liquid fire, and only ignites when it makes contact with the air. This is possible thanks to the pair of long thin bladders full of oils that run along either side of his windpipe, thus why his neck is so thick. The catch is, his control and power are directly linked to his emotions. The calmer he is the better control he has, the angrier he is the hotter and larger the fire he can create. The only thing is he can’t summon the fire from the air, he must first breath it like a dragon. Only the fire he creates himself can he control. Markus has had years to learn and control this power, and has a fairly decent lid on his explosive temper. Conner has patches of reddish, dragon-like scale, running up and down his arms, neck, and back that is extremely tough and fireproof. He could stand in the heart of a gas explosion and be completely unscathed. This acts more like a disease, as everytime he seems to lose control, go into a rage if you will, the patches of scale grow, covering more of his body. When agitated his sense of smell becomes stronger but his eyesight worsens. His strength when his feral for starts to take hold is doubled. • Limitation(s) | Conner can only control the fire he creates by breathing it. If he can’t open his mouth then he can’t use his powers. While his scale covered upper body is immune to fire, the case is not the same for the parts of him that are still flesh. What’s more his eyes are vulnerable to his own fire. Conner has a finite amount of fire he can spew at any given time, and once spent he must wait until his fire bladders replenish. • Weakness(es) | There is a chance he can lose complete control of himself, becoming nothing more than an enraged animal. When this happens, the scales on his arms and back grow to cover more of his body, morphing him into something of a bipedal dragon complete with claws, tail, horns, and fangs. There is no hint of the man he is when he is in this state and it takes nothing short of nearly killing Conner to get him out of it. When he is pulled from this state, he finds more scales on his arms and back. Every time he loses control like this, become this monster, he knows he’s a step closer to staying that way. His power also gives him on major weakness, water. He can’t touch distilled water as he is allergic, irritating his scales. Should he ingest distilled water his fire bladders, the source of his fire breath, become blocked and he can’t breathe fire until the water is washed out. When he becomes the monster the scales on his chest glow, if hit with water it causes him extreme pain and he can’t breathe his fire. Another glaring weakness is his neck, should someone pierce the scales on his neck, and open one of the two firebladders that run up either side of his windpipe will cause the flames to spew out and into his throat, potentially killing him. //Skills: • Skill 1 | Archaeology: Conner was a successful archaeologist for much of his life, having a vast knowledge of ancient cultures- particularly the Hellenistic Era- and can decipher ancient languages and discern artifacts at a glance. •Linguist: Conner can speak and read several different languages and dialects, both ancient and modern. Germanic and Latin based languages are his bread and butter and he speaks passable Vietnamese, Japanese, and Mandarin. •Boxing: Conner learned boxing from his father who was a champion in his day, and participted in his school’s boxing tournaments regularly. He’s adept at it and quick for a boy his size. //Paraphernalia: • Item 1 | An old Drachma- good luck charm A beaten up brown satchel A beaten up journel

Appearance Details ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Conner is a bull of a boy, barrel chest, treetrunk arms and legs, and neck thick with muscles and covered in scale. He is deeply tanned and has patches of reddish scale dotting his arms and back along with a myriad of scars. The day he hit puberty he shot up and started packing on the muscle from working on his father’s farm. Conner is fiercely handsome with a square jaw, red-orange eyes, and laugh lines around. He carries himself with dignity, walks with purpose; It is rare so see him without a smile on his face, but his grin has a feral aspect to it. Much to Conner’s profound ire he has four fours sprouting from his upper forehead that grow back over his scalp, despite the pain it brings him, Conner shears his horns off, which becomes a pain as they grow in ridiculously fast. He wears hats to hide what he can’t cut off. Conner tends to look like a man/dragon hybrid to other people, particularly when he is agitated, or in pain. Conner likes to present himself like a gentleman, wearing the nicest clothes he can, opting for suits and button downs. He keeps his medium length hair slicked back at all times and keeps himself cleanly shaven. Character Synopsis ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Conner was born near Manchester to his loving parents on a sheep farm. Since he could walk Marcus worked the farm with his father while his mother homeschooled him. She was an author and poet herself, so he grew to love history from her. Within time they agreed to let him study abroad in Germany when he was thirteen. There he started learning French, German, Italian, and developed a serious love for the Hellenistic Era. In the summers he would return home to the Irish countryside and continue to help his father. The year he turned fifteen Conner and his class were on a spelunking field trip, he discovered his powers. Conner was exploring further down, his overdeveloped curiosity driving him on when the cavein occurred. Everyone but Conner made it out. He fell twenty feet, broke his leg and became pinned. The pain woke something inside him and he puked up blood and fire before blacking out. When he woke back up he was in the middle of the woods in a burned up clearing, naked. He was found days later by rescue teams. He remembered his classmates running in fear from him before he ran off. When his parents heard of the HCSP they felt compelled pulled to enroll him in the school in Crestwood Hollow. Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Conner is a jovial lad who loves keep things upbeat and good god does the he love to lecture. Get him going about history, especially anothing having to do with the Hellenistic Era and you’re liable to sit there for hours, and he’d be more than happy to do so. Always looking on the bright side this one, and rarely lets life get him down. For Conner this is a matter of survival, as a positive mindset keeps his rather explosive temper down. Since his powers manifested, he has had a growing problem with it. So he is forced to think happy thoughts, and laugh at whatever life throws at him because if he didn’t he’d be no better than a beast. Conner is a scholarly to his bones with an intellect to match his vast curiosity. He loves a good mystery and relishes deciphering old texts and scrolls even after years of retirement. He has a funny habit of talking to himself in Gaelic, often cursing in it too. When he becomes focused on his books the world fades away and it takes nothing short of physically pulling him away to get his attention. Over the last five years Conner’s temper has become harder and harder to keep down, foten flaring black from the littlest things, but he keeps a learned handle on it, often boxing at the gym to work off excess stress and rage (he brings his won fireproof bag). He’s seriously protective of his collection of coins and other artifacts he’s collected over the years. Damaging, stealing, or just touching what isn’t yours makes Marcus go very quiet with a look that could kill. Miscellaneous Conner has a pet dog named Duchess, a spoiled rotten Akida with white fur.

CS moved to Characters Tab.

[Lord Wraith]

@LukasVolkov Couple of notes about your CS, firstly we have another character named 'Marcus' on the cast, I'm with having two but you should be aware in the event you to avoid such an easy confusion in the IC. Secondly, if you could find an image for your character that would be awesome. Thirdly, while I'm fine with the character having visible scales, do note that it will lead to your character either needing to keep them covered at all times or being socially ostracized due to being a very visible Hype. The weaknesses are a little lacking though as while yes, he may lose control it also sounds like he becomes more powerful when he does so. It'd be good to see some sort of exploitable weakness added to the sheet. Last note, the Hyperhuman Social Conscience Progam is a volunteer-based school program and does not actively seek out or recruit people. So that part of the bio needs to be changed and explained to why Markus would join the program.

@ZAVAZggg I don't understand why Alexander has the ability to sense other Hyperhumans, it seems very unrelated to his other abilities. While I have no issue with you wanting to use Chronokinesis as your ability, there needs to be more limitations and weaknesses to such an ability. The listed weakness, for example, doesn't actually directly affect his ability. If you take a look at some of the other character sheets you'll notice that weaknesses are an exploitable disadvantage to the character's ability. For example, my character can have his abilities blocked by either silver or wolfsbane. This section should be for your character's 'kryptonite' so to speak.

[LukasVolkov]

@Lord Wraith

Ok. I’ll make the necessary changes tonight. I’ll come up with some weaknesses too, he does seem a tad op I guess.
