[OOC] Empyreus Academy

[Aphelion]

Sorry, I had a stupid work week. Mon/Tue are my days off so I'll be posting shortly, if not tonight. I apologize for my absence. :/

[Gisk]

Can people still apply here?

[Raptra]

Hey peeps, I know it's been some time. Still in this and will hopefully get back to this by the weekend or earlier.

[Birdboy]

@Gisk Yes you can! Sorry for the delay!

@Raptra I am as well, but I think @Aphelion is writing up a post. Otherwise I can write something bringing you all to the inside of the place.

Name: Able Eriksen
Age: 16
Appearance: Freakishly tall for his age, Able is already over six feet. He carries a little baby fat, the remnant of being a chunky child, before his growth spirt. Even with that, he's unusually dense; nobody would guess he weighed nearly three hundred pounds.
Able is shaggy, nearly platinum blond and round faced, with startlingly blue eyes.

Motives: Able just wants to be good at something that someone else in his family hasn't already done.

Personality: Not shy, necessarily, but self conscious and particularly sensitive about his size. He's friendly, and protective of his friends. He doesn't like to use his size to intimidate, but he can easily come off a little scary by accident when he starts to take something seriously.
Though emotionally sensitive, he's physically quite tough, and has a high pain tolerance.

Backstory: The youngest of four brothers, and the only one still living at home in Union City when the mistening happened. His brothers are Arthur the valedictorian(now an engineer), Steven the ROTC captain(now doing something secret for the US Navy), and David the theater kid(now in a show on Broadway).
Able was most of the way through high school and his main point of distinction is his perfect attendance and behavior. When he recieved an invitation to the Empyreus Academy, all he could see was something nobody had done before, and he was eager to be a part of the first class.

Powers/abilities: Mass transfer! He can shift his own body's mass into any object that he gets all four fingers on. The volume of both himself and the target remain unchanged, it just becomes heavier, while he seems to weigh nothing at all. He can reverse the effect by putting all four fingers on himself, usually simply by clenching his fist.

Skills: He knows how to fish, prepare a catch for dinner and generally handle a knife in the kitchen. He is equally adept at eating whatever he may cook.

@Gisk I love him. He's like a big teddy bear! Approved.

I should get a post out tonight!

[Aphelion]

@Birdboy I'm cool to continue it along if you'd like to! :]

[Birdboy]

@AphelionThat'd be nice. My midterm stuff is overwhelming me

[medalliah]

You got me! I'm here

[Gisk]

@Raptra forgot to tag you in my post.

[Birdboy]

So are we wanting boys/girls dorms with roommates or a free-for-all where you pick your roommate?

[medalliah]

Random! For the lols

[Kinjaav]

heyyyy can i join

I've been quietly watching this for weeks while I changed jobs lol... I keep thinking it's dead and I missed it but if you guys are still here I want to play!

[Birdboy]

@Kinjaav I mean I am ok with it, but that'll probably be the last one. It really depends on how the other's feel.

[Aphelion]

@Kinjaav@Birdboy I don't mind having another in the RP to be honest.

As far as the roommate situation, if Kinjaav joins then there will be a player imbalance (if 2 per room is the goal). I do not mind being the odd one out. I can have a NPC roommate, or just bunk alone.

I will be replying tonight, sorry for all of my long waits between posts. My job is pretty physically demanding, so I'm decimated when I come home and just end up sleeping. xD I'll try to get better about maybe writing out posts between breaks or something.

@Birdboy

So we're doing the dormmate idea then? Free-for-all is fine, cause we could have something like this, if you'd like.

[Kinjaav]

@Aphelion I was actually going to join with 2 characters, so no worries

[Raptra]

@Aphelion Petty rivals? ;)

[Birdboy]

Happy Halloween!
