[OOC] Powers {OOC}

[Chulance]

Inspiration: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronicle_(film)

Plot:
From the dawn of time mankind has always aspired to be greater, and their legends prove it. With Mythological beings such as the Olympians, and Nordic gods to more modern legends such as Paul Bunyan. Immortality, superhuman strength, moving objects with your mind, having glimpses of the future, bending the weather to your will, conjuring flames to do your bidding, all powers once believed to be possessed by ancient gods are now of super heroes like Superman, Spider-man, and other entertainment media. Nobody really believes anyone can have powers any more, except..for five seniors at the University of California who stumbled into a cave one Friday night. Drunk wandering, natural curiosity, whatever it may be that lead this group of friends to investigate, it's changed their lives forever. Now these people have come into possession of skills thought to be limited to Stan Lee's comic books. How will the power affect these people, how will they use their abilities to change the world around them as they grow more powerful? And most importantly will it all got their heads or do they have the power to let power go.

Rules
1. I'd like a group of about 6-7 in the story, but I'll allow more as long as yall are active. The Limit has now been reached, the RP is closed, thanks for joining. Those still making their CS's complete them and post them of course lol.

2. Be Active, if you have to go for some reason simply inform me either in PM or in the thread, so something can e arranged for your departure and/or absence.

3. Don't like writing excessive rules, so that's it let's make this a great roleplay.

Information
Set in Oakland California, with us going to the University of California. The RP can start in the beginning of the Senior Year, or a few days after it started.

The Powers will start off somewhat low tier, but as the roleplay progresses they'll continually grow more and more powerful. The more you use your power just like a muscle it'll get stronger.

Everyone with a power as an empathic link. Meaning everyone can feel each other's emotions, state of mind ect. If one person is hurting the others would feel pain themselves, and be able to know who it's coming from.

PLOT DISCUSSION ROOM: http://us11.chatzy.com/77330206413869
Discuss anything you want about the RP, how your characters know each other, ideas for the RP, plots, or just a general chill place to chat with your fellow players. :)

Character Sheet:
Since we're playing "ourselves" just describe yourself, and then after that the power you have. Name, age, ,gender, Appearance strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, a short summary of yourself. Also if you could an image that looks like yourself of if you choose too yourself. No official format, and personality won't be required but if you won't you can add that as well.

My name is Shimizu Hiro, or Hiro Shimizu to all of you backwards western folk.
I am twenty-eight years of age, and I have done quite a bit of traveling in that time. I am well on my way to finishing collage with a degree in theology, minoring in psychology and history.
I am male, though in my youth I was frequently confused with the other gender.

Not that I wish to sound pretentious, but I would have to say my strengths are: My sharp wit and tactically-focused mind, both of which have helped me out of many a situation... as well as into them. I can be very stubborn, but also determined. Once I set my mind to something, nothing can make me back down- I will always find a way, especially when others cannot. I also have been told I am wise as well as smart. I learn from my mistakes, as well as those of others and readily dip into that well of information to work out a situation. Physically, I am agile and fast, though I can surely pack a punch when needed. I am also quite resilient, I suppose. I have plenty of scars and x-ray charts to prove that.
My weaknesses... well, I can have a short fuse, and I can get frustrated quite easily, especially when I feel I am not being respected. I am not the best team player, either. I tend to keep my ideas to myself and just do my own thing. In fact, I keep to myself in general. I am not the most social of people, and can be standoffish. However, I am very protective of those who are close to me, and I will always help those in need. Another issue can be my self-neglect, but let's not get into that, ne?

I have many, many interests- how can one not? I am an audiophile, meaning I am obsessed with music and sound. I play the piano quite proficiently, and I think I am pretty good with the violin and guitar. Along with music, my creative drive leads me to write. I have over a dozen half-finished novels clogging up my computer and at least four roleplays going at all times. I love to cook and explore new foods, and have become quite good at it, I even thought about taking up cuisine as my major. I also greatly enjoy being active. I have taken various martial arts classes throughout my life, though for the last few years parkour/free running has been my exercise of choice.
As for my dislikes, they are pretty basic: Ignorance, arrogance, petty disputes, racism, homophobia (or any other social phobias, really), disrespect and all around "bullying". All in all, don't treat others badly, and I won't treat you badly.

A description of me (in third person because I am bad at writing such things in first): 5'10" with a lithe build baring lean, toned muscle. Long limbs and thin hands can make him seem almost frail. Sleek, mid-back length raven-black hair frames his nearly effeminate and angular face, which combines high cheekbones and almond-shaped eyes with a less shallow, pointed nose and stronger jaw of western people. His skin is Asiatic pale, with a smattering of light golden freckles over his nose and cheeks. His eyes are an unusually dark blue/grey and are lined with thick, dark lashes. A few scars are scattered across his body, gained from a tough childhood and an active adult life. Aside from his scars, his most defining features are his tattoos: A henna-like lotus and ankh on the inside of his right forearm, near the elbow; a stylized treble clef on his back between his shoulder blades; and across the insides of his wrists, Latin script that reads "Within all day there is night” (left) and “Within all darkness there is light” (right).

His clothing is generally dark and simple: comfortable, slim-fitting (not skinny) jeans; plain long sleeved shirts; tank-tops and tees with artistic graphics; loose, warm and well-worn hoodies; flat-heeled black leather boots; a black leather jacket and leather driving gloves for riding. He always wears a small silver ankh pendant, a 1/2 inch round amber pendant inlaid in silver and a dark blue woven bracelet with a blue Turkish evil eye bead.

My power is Umbrakinesis, the power over shadows and darkness. It makes sense for a solitary night-owl like me and though it may not seem like much now, but I can feel the potential.
