I never said you couldn't post and let me decide who has the more interesting character. If you want to give it a shot post anyways and I'll decide.

Alright so quick warning, don't think you have to have your character in Kansas when the RP starts, they'll be means for the characters to all come together. Mysterious means of course.

Full Name: Victoria Simone
Hometown: London, England
Age: 25
Appearance:
Powers: Elasticity
Occupation: Television/Film actress
Cause of Death: Private plane crash
Biography: Victoria had always dreamt of becoming an actress that could go beyond the Atlantic ocean and into Hollywood. As a little girl she idolized the starlets of the film industry’s yesteryears and watched films falling in love with the plots and nuances. During school she’d work hard at getting roles and even as a kid appeared in TV commercials for various brands. She was a free spirited, class clown figure that got her attention however she could.

When she reached puberty however, things became difficult. She kept auditioning for roles, only for casting agents to scuff at her. Saying she didn’t quite fit ‘what they were looking for’. Other actresses, clearly getting their looks from the best plastic surgery could give. Looked down on her as they’d talk into the room and get the roles she knew she was perfect for. She hit the ground hard and for a while gave up on becoming an actress. Instead focusing her school time on biology. Earning her high school degree in the field as she started to look at college courses.

As fate would have it, when she was working at a coffee shop she ended up serving a man desperate for a new actress for one of England’s highest viewed drama series, a science fiction series about a time traveling alien. Victoria was given an audition and suddenly her dream took off again. Her run on the show earned her massive acclaim. Suddenly producers and agents were looking for her in movie roles and other TV shows. One producer had sent her a movie script that was being considered as one to put in for Oscar contention. She took a flight out to New York, where they had a private jet waiting to take her to California for contract negotiations. However during the flight, a sudden malfunction of the engine and other components caused the plane to lose control. Resulting in the plane crashing into a field in Kansas. Victoria one of the few declared dead later.

Very well then. Here is my character.

Hometown: Miami, Florida
Age: 33
Appearance:

Powers: Technopathy
Occupation: Former boxer. Owner of a small security firm.
Cause of Death: Killed in a home invasion, together with his pregmant wife and her 9 year old girl from a previous marriage.
Biography: Nikolai is an american of russian origin that was born in New York City. He is the son of two russian imigrants that were living in Brighton Beach, a neighborhood in Brooklyn better known as Little Odessa because of the large population of russian-speaking imigrants. At the age of 3 Nikolai and his family relocated to Miami, Florida. Here his father, a chef by profession, found work at a local restaurant while his mother was hired as a receptionist in a hotel. As a child Nikolai was fascinated by fighting. and wanted to be a boxer. He started training at the age of 12 and after a promising amateur career he turned pro at the age of 22. Due to his weight of 171 lbs he was ranked as a light heavyweight. His first pro match, against a portughese oponent left a good impression as well after Nikolai won by TKO in round 4. Six years later Nikolai was still undefeated with a score of 11 victories 5 with KO and no losses and he was the number 1 contender for the IBF Light Heavyweight title. However a drug scandal ruined his boxing career and Nikolai was forced to quit. Shortly afterwards he opened up a security firm. in Miami. He also started training in mixed martial arts. At the same time he also married a woman that he was dating for 2 years now. She had a little girl from a previous marriage, but Nikolai didn't care about that, as he loved the girl very much and she liked Nikolai too. Unfortunately one night 4 masked people raided Nikolai's house. Initially they just wanted to steal whatever seemed valuable but due to the fact that Nikolai posed resistance everything turned into one big mess. And from robbery to murder it was only one step. They killed everyone. Nikolai, his wife who was pregmant in 3 months and her 9 year old girl. A little later Nikolai woke up a little different then before and with a deep desire for vengeance.

Would it be alright if I post a character sheet without selecting my power? I'm torn between selecting one I use all the time (like psionics or technopathy) or aiming for something I don't really do all that often, if at all (e.g. a melee-focused power, like the super speed).

[DrewVonAwesome]

Go for it, maybe I can help decide.

[Dethran]

Name: Gregor Ivanovich Novalev
Hometown: Boston, Massachusetts
Age: 22

Appearance

Powers: Psionics (telepathy/telekinesis)
Occupation: Mechanic
Cause of Death: Killed in the crossfire of a skirmish between competing families.
Biography: After his family ran into some trouble in their hometown of Omsk, Gregor's father sent him and his younger sister, Darya, to live with their "uncle" Mikhail (really just a close friend from the father's childhood) in the States. Determined to ensure that his sister could finish her schooling through a good university, Gregor got Mikhail to get him a job at his body shop, though Mikhail was reluctant at first. He quickly proved himself as a valuable mechanic, with his knack for the inner workings of anything with an engine saving time on jobs that would have otherwise taken weeks to repair. Gradually, though, he began to see signs that not everything at the shop was exactly as it seemed. There were discrepancies in the paperwork, and even orders that would vanish altogether after just a couple of days. Apparently, a locally established family seemed to figure out that there was funny business going on in their backyard right around the same that that Gregor did, as, shortly thereafter, several cars pulled up in front of the shop right around closing time, and a group, led by a rather angry Irishman who stormed in to have words with Mikhail, stood around by their cars, waiting. At the sound of three quick gunshots, the Irishmen all reached into their cars and pulled out an arsenal of automatic weaponry, opening fire on the mechanics in the shop. After a few moments of chaos, all the mechanics, including Gregor, were dead on the floor, and the Irishmen got back into their cars and drove off.
By the time Gregor came to, he was already in the morgue. The first thing he saw when he did wake up was the person on the slab next to his, but he could only stare in disbelief. When it finally sank in that he was looking at the corpse of his sister, he heard something best described as a cross between a scream and a roar (which he would later realize had come from him), and everything in the room exploded outward, away from him, before he passed out again, an image of the older Irishman burning in his mind's eye as morgue workers came to investigate the noise and found one of their "corpses" blacked out, but very much alive.

[Dethran]

Never mind on the indecision, after all. Apparently, Gregor decided for me while I was writing his bio! XD

[IVIasterJay]

Full Name: Jay Rayne
Hometown: Manchester, New Hampshire, USA
Age: 21

Appearance:

Powers: Superhuman speed, reaction, and endurance
Occupation: College student
Cause of Death: It was at his birthday party. Things got out of hand. He drank too much. Well, everyone drank too much but it was his party, so he drank the most. He was dead for fifteen minutes before the first person tried shaking his shoulder. They thought he was joking, but the punch line wasn't until after he was declared dead. He came back. You think waking up the next morning with a hangover is hell? Well, he came back from hell to the worst hangover in humanity's long and painful history of hangovers.
Biography: Jay had always been good at being good at things. He was smart, but not overly so, and he was popular, but never alienated those who weren't. He kept fit by swimming through high school, but he never was the fastest. His parents - his mom, Emily, is an elementary school teacher, and his dad, David, is an professor at Dartmouth - were both so happy when he went off to MIT for college. He somehow managed to keep up his balancing act of school and friends, even throwing in the occasional random party and stupid antics that his friends got him into. His friends might have been stupid anytime they got together, but they were okay. They even threw him a huge birthday party when he turned twenty-one. Happy birthday.

Q: Would the mind be sped up to compensate for the super speed?
Q: Would he seriously harm himself if he touched something while moving at super speed?

Sturmgewehr, I hate to tell you, but I did already put a dibs on Technopathy a day ago. :\

[Hillan]

Soo. Awks.
But I decided to change my character completely, after getting hit with essentially the best idea I've had in quite some time. I do realize that it's outside of the age-range you set out originally.



Name:
Harvey Ross

Age: 68

Cause of death:
Heart Failure.

Powers:
Super Strength, Flight, Invulnerability, Super-Endurance.

Occupation:
Printer Salesman.

Hometown:
Lawrence, Kansas.

Backstory:

Harvey's story is long, but overall, rather boring. He was born into the lower middleclass in the 40's , 1946, to be precise. Two years after the world war. Harvey did the normal military duty, and in his young days had dreams of becoming a police officer. But those dreams didn't come true when he, at the age of 26, was in a car crash, rendering him handicapped for the rest of his life. He's walked with a cane since then, forcing him to keep a less physically active job. He had, at that point been married for two years. He's got a son who's in his 30's now, Michael. Harvey's life has been the way one would've expected it to be, he's the average man, working the average, dead-end job, living a life he's not in the very least happy with. Dreaming, wishing, that there would've been more to his life. That his wife would stop nagging, that his kid would stop trying to put him into a nursing home.

Harvey just cannot believe that his body is already this old, that his brain is stuck in it.

Also, Haiku-buddy, Technopathcy is telepathy, but for machines. Electrokinesis is what you described in the OP. Not that it's anything more than nit-picking.

Unless of course the technopath can do both, that'd be awesome.

[Venom]

Sorry it took me so long, My computer did not want to load up the new Rp Guild. As I am now late to the party, I will fill in whatever remains.

Yeah thats more what I was going on. Also I'll consider the profile since it is a simple neat concept.

Since so many people were interested, I'm changing it from first come, first serve, to whoever has the concept that'll work out the best gets that spot. I should've said something to you personally and I apologize for it.

[Venom]

No worries mate, best of luck in the dreamscape!

[Sturmgewehr]

It's like russian roulette. Hope I won't get the bullet to the head though. I really like this RP and I wanna participate.

[Gelatinous Cube]

Eh, you know what? I ain't even mad. Sturmy, it's yours.
This RP sounded awesome, and I was really hoping to be a part of it, but you've got the character up there, and I admittedly didn't have much of a concept for one.

Peace out, dudes, hope the RP rocks!

[Blazion]

Sorry for taking so long! I was making a male originally but seeing how many we have I switched to female. It'll be done soon!

Sorry to see you go like this. I feel guilty.
