[OOC] Blind Hand - Chapter 1 : Pathways

[Nevermind]

CLOSED to new apps. May re-open later.


Some call it evolution. Some call it mutation. Some call it a blessing. Some call it a curse. Some use it to help others. Some use it for their own benefit. Some don't know how to use it at all. There are perhaps hundreds of these special people around the world, and the number is increasing steadily. The pathway to a new age begins now.

---

Over the past decade, certain people across the globe have discovered incredible superhuman abilities that have came to them upon adulthood.

In eastern Europe there were multiple accounts of executions brought on by supposed 'witchcraft'. Several tales of strange beings have circulated around the world, though many have put them off as myths, whilst some believe that they are aliens. There have been dozens of accounts, once or twice caught on camera. It has happened too many times now to be a hoax or a coincidence - but still, people seem to be going on with their lives as per usual, at least within America that is. There is a reason for that. There has not been a single sighting of one of these strange beings in all of the USA. Not one, and to thank for it all is Project Blind Hand.

Blind Hand is an organization within the US government that formed ten years ago, when the first of these superhumans were seen. Since then, Blind Hand has made it their intention to remove all threat of superhuman beings from the country, and, in the long run, the whole of the planet, deeming them as both a hazard to the citizens of the country, a threat to peace, and most importantly, a force that could crumble any regime with enough time and planning. Since then, they have taken every single potential superhuman and wiped them from the face of the earth without a trace. Blind Hand has taken them all to a private facility hidden somewhere in Alaska and tested and tortured them constantly, giving them no outside contact whatsoever and using special rooms and chemicals to prevent their use of abilities.

Nobody has slipped through the cracks. Not until now. Not until a jet carrying new captives was downed on it's way to the facility. Blind Hand tracked down the plane and found it three days after it crashed. There were several missing. Several young men and women running for their lives with only themselves to trust and some powers they barely understand to protect themselves.

Setting:
We will be playing the roles of a small group of young adults ranging from late teens to early twenties who have discovered that they have superhuman abilities in the last few weeks and have subsequently been kidnapped by a mysterious government sect that promises a life of torture and testing. On the way to what would be our new home - a prison facility in Alaska, the plane we are aboard is downed whilst travelling over Alaska. We are lucky enough to escape alive - though how long can we stay alive when we are being hunted by the US army in the middle of the wilderness?

---

Rules:

• I am going to be strict with powers. When choosing a power, go for something that, once mastered, would mean you could easily fight off a large group of people who do not have powers. Also, remember you have just discovered your power so you are no master, at most you will be able to fight off a couple of armed guards. Of course if your power is not combat related, make it so it would be equally useful as a power of this kind.


• Of course, I do not want any dull characters. Any Mary-Sues submitted will be ruthlessly turned down. Try and make your character have something of interest about them, this will be a character-driven RP after all.


• Don't sign up if you are not that bothered. I want this to be quite a long running RP with fairly regular posts. I'm not going to force you to post too often, just to keep up with the group. Otherwise, I won't have a problem killing off anyone's character. Just saying.


• Posts must be of a High Casual standard. Good English and good length. Beginners are fine but if you struggle to write more than a couple of sentences then this isn't the RP for you.

Aaron
Aaron William Blackburn
Gender:Male
Age:23
Superhuman Abilites: Aaron has an ability that makes him the perfect athlete and marksmen he can always see the perfect shot which might include ricocheting a bullet and making it tumble through a targets soft tissue at 500 yards, or throwing a baseball perfectly into a catchers hand, he also appears to have perfect reflexes and coordination able to stride,leap and move almost as well as an Olympian athlete. But he doesn't know how to make his ability work at will to him they just kind of happen under high signs of stress or strenuous activity. And my studies conclude that even not in use his abilities give him severe hyperactivity so severe he has troubles sitting still and sleeping, as well as really powerful headaches. But these are potential side effects that can be conquered the more he uses his ability.

Appearance:
Aaron is a Well built Caucasian, with Blue-green eyes, and dark brown hair, has a tattoo on his back of a grim reaper like character holding a badge with his police precinct number on it, on his back

Personality Characteristics:
Aaron can be a little unstable and serious, he can be a bully at times bullying others into doing what he wants them to do, he prefers to approach things overly cautiously and paranoid, and set up traps or lie in wait for the perfect opportunity, he is also very intelligent and well read when it comes to subjects like military strategy.
History:
Aaron was not born into a happy family, his father was a drunk and his mother a drug addict who was slowly deteriorating into a drug fueled insanity. The only light in his life was his older sister Emily who practically raised him and showed him the love that she never received. When Aaron was five and his sister was 11 his father left the family and never looked back, not even a year later his mother married her drug dealer and he became the kids step father. He was violent and brutal to the kids often beating them and taking Aaron's sister into his room for "Play time" Aaron didn't know what that meant at the time except that she would emerge crying, but in all that pain and suffering she still kept a smile on her face for Aaron and suggested that he sign on with the schools little league team.

When Aaron was 12 his sister ran away and went missing for three months, eventually the police found her dead on the side of the roadway she had been beaten too death, when the police investigated the found out the step father went looking for her and beat her too death with a baseball bat armed with this information they raided the house, found the weapon still with her blood on it, 16,000 dollars worth of drugs, and a rifle. They arrested his step father on the spot and sentenced him to life. Meanwhile Aaron made national headlines as the boy who lived through it all and was taken in by his grandma who lived in another state. The news crews tried to make Aaron out to be some sort of hero to live through that abuse, but in his eyes the police were the true heroes and at that moment he decided he wanted to be a police officer.

Aaron studied his ass off through school and it was around the end of high school when his ability manifested it was the big game of the high school season if they won they were state champions, it was the last out of the game and somehow Aaron threw it through the running legs of the other teams player and into the Mitt of the second baseman scoring that last out and guaranteeing a win for his team, it was considered a one in a million shot almost impossible but he did it. After school he went to college to become a police officer, and after college was the academy, where he earned top marks especially in marksmanship. He was made a patrolman at 22 years old and sent out onto the beat. a year later at 23 years old Aaron was confronted with three gunmen and his partner had been shot and wounded, somehow he started ricocheting his bullets off street signs and hitting the criminals with uncanny accuracy all three gunmen had been killed by bullet tumble, and his partner made it through. But with any time someone dies from a police officer Internal Affairs got involved and noticed this and wrote a report, apparently someone high in the military read this and realized they had a "Freak" on their hands and arrested him. Before he could even say "What's going on?" He was on a plane to Alaska.

Oh my, this has a very interesting feeling to it. I'd be interested in just keeping up with the OOC/IC at the very least, but should there be open slots I'd gladly file in when I have the chance ^~^

[Nevermind]

Enalais would be great if you could get a picture as requested, otherwise looks good.
Phoenix, there are still places available.

[PhoenixWhite]

Oh, Goodie. I'll lurk for a bit before hopping on to making up a profile!-- school and whatnot, you know how it is

[Polyphemus]

Keith Adrian Booker

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Superhuman Abilities: Keith possesses the ability to become intangible at will. While he remains completely visible, solid objects such as fists or bullets will pass harmlessly through him- alternately, he can use this power to pass through walls or other obstacles. However, air also passes through him, so the duration of this ability is limited to as long as he can hold his breath- otherwise he will suffocate from lack of oxygen. This ability is active, not passive- he needs to "turn it on" for it to work. Keith suspects but cannot confirm he has some kind of limited control over his personal gravity as well, as he doesn't sink helplessly into the earth when he turns intangible.

Appearance: Keith is a Caucasian male of average height with carefully styled brown hair and brown eyes. He is extremely thin (by his own intention) and not particularly athletic in build. When able to choose his own clothing he prefers tight designer styles.

Personality Characteristics: Keith outwardly projects a fairly camp, happy-go-lucky image. He always acts in a joking, positive manner and given the chance will ramble for hours about topics that interest him. However, beneath it all Keith boils with resentment. The world has not treated him well and he feels (not wrongly) that he has been victimized his entire life. Keith constantly berates himself for lacking the courage to stand up for himself, and alternately for not hiding who he is.

History: From a young age, the Booker family knew Keith was different. Working class people in a working class part of Alabama, the Bookers were tight-knit and loving. When Keith realized he was gay as a young teenager, his parents and siblings remained loving and supportive. The same could not be said of the rest of his town, a close-minded place where people knew him as "that queer". Keith was teased and abused mercilessly by his classmates and peers, occasionally with physical violence. His childhood was rife with humiliating incidents- a church pastor refusing him admittance to a wedding ceremony, a waitress very slowly and deliberately spilling a drink on him. While Keith loved his family, he found life in this town unbearable and longed to escape and go to college to study theater- a cliche for someone in his situation, true, but dramatics offered his one refuge. Being of limited financial means, though, he had to work several part time jobs to save enough money in the years after high school. He would hold down a job for a few months or so, until the inevitable harassment from his coworkers got to be too much. It was during one such job, night shift at a burger joint, that his powers first manifested. One of his coworkers had made a game of "accidentally" hip-checking Keith aside. Keith, lacking the spine to say anything, just sighed and let the man have his fun- until one night he seemed to pass straight through Keith and fall to the floor. While his coworker assumed that he had just miscalculated and missed, Keith knew differently. He experimented on his own time, found he was able to turn himself intangible. Scarcely a week later, though, he was tasered by a man in a balaclava on his walk home from work. Surprised and unable to react in time, Keith was pulled into a van and kept under heavy sedation. Next thing he knows, he is aboard a plane, leaving Alabama for the first time in his life- just not under the circumstances he hoped for.

Picture

Callie “Cal” Evans

Gender:
Female

Age:
18

Superhuman Abilities:
Electricity manipulation/creation: Cal has the power to create and utilize electrical energy. She can use this to power electronic devices, but can also use it as a weapon, releasing extremely powerful electric blasts. The voltage and amperage of her blasts can be controlled by her, allowing her to directly control the force and damage of her strikes. Lightning moves at light speed (obviously) and is extremely hot, so she can deal out quite a bit of damage. She can also move at near light speeds. When Cal fires electricity, a loud boom like thunder echoes through the air. The larger the bolt, the louder the sound. The electricity changes in color with her mood. Cal is immune to electricity.

Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Namely, rubber, or other insulators. If an opponent is wearing insulated clothing, Cal is useless against them. Water can also thwart Cal, but in a different way. Normally, water is useful for Cal, as enemies standing in it get fried extra-crispy, but if she herself is standing in or is covered in water, she runs the risk of frying herself.

Sometimes, when she is getting pissed, electricity will begin to crackle in the air around her, bouncing around her hair and fingertips. This is a pretty good sign to either calm her down or get the hell away.

Appearance:
Cal stands at about 5'2 and is rather lanky with thin limbs and a lack of visible muscle. Her eyes are a piercing blue color, something that came about when her powers emerged, and her hair has been bleached a shocking white color. Not pictured is her abundance of tattoos and piercings all over her body. Her style of clothing can be considered a mix of street and punk, she just calls it comfy.

Personality Characteristics:
On the outside Cal likes to act like the bad ass chick she is. She refuses to take shit from anyone who is of lower rank then her. Cal is extremely foul-mouthed (except around children and the elderly) and has the tendency to go into berserk rages. Cal isn't the smartest person on the planet, and isn't good at quick comebacks, rather thinking with flying fists. Despite this rough and tough exterior, Cal is not without her own personal weaknesses. She would never hurt a child or a lady, and would actually go out of her way to protect someone weaker then her. She also harbors a very dark inner secret that she refuses to tell anyone. This secret is extremely mentally taxing for her, and can cause her to physically freeze if she is reminded of it.

Cal wishes she could be loving and soft, but mostly comes off with a 'leave me alone' sort of vibe. She doesn't like asking for help, and has trouble putting complete trust in someone. This often leads to her keeping to herself, or lying. Cal is also trapped between being an adult and being a kid, and being thrown into a strange new life doesn't help at all. She has little to no life experience outside of high school. And knowing the Pythagorean Theron isn't helping her much.

History:
Cal actually didn't mind her home life. She grew up in a small town, where everyone knew everybody, with her mother, father, and her older sister, Diana. Unlike most siblings, Diana and Cal got along rather well. Cal never really cared for school, going through her punk and rebellious stage throughout high school. She began to show powers right after her seventeenth birthday. Cal panicked, not knowing how to conceal her powers. She turned to her big sister, who tried to help her control the electricity. This didn't work for long, as her parents soon found out. They frantically called the authorities, turning in their own daughter. Diana tried to defend Cal, saying she wasn't a danger to anyone. But her parents insisted, saying it was for her own good. And maybe they would find a way to get rid of it.

When the authorities arrived Cal put up no fight.

”Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.”

Mundane Information

Gretel Wendy Smith

Gender
Female

Age
Nineteen

Appearance
The woman has a thin frame, and is generally small. She rises up to the modest height of five foot [~1.4 Meters]. Her weight is average for her height, being around 130 pounds on average [~60 Kilograms]. Her eyes are a dull blue, and don't really stand out much in comparison to brighter eyed individuals. Her hair is of brunette hues, and only falls to her shoulders.

Personality Characteristics
Wendy is a shy girl, generally speaking- at least, when outside her usual group of associstes. She, naturally, has her outgoing moments-- but it is far more likely to find the girl with her nose shoved into a book rather than someone else's face. She tends to be concise with what she says in conversation, and comes off as blunt due to this. This bluntness and concise manner of speaking has given her a stoic outlook.

Supernatural Quality

Vicissitude - A quality or state of change, typically unwelcome

This is the word that Wendy has dubbed appropriate to define her supernatural quality. To define it simply, it is her body taking on the qualities of what she touches with her hands. I.E, if she touched a tree her hands would turn to wood and the effect would steadily spread up her arms. The ability seems limited, however, in the sense that living things, such as plants and trees, are easier and more susceptible to her vicissitude.

In such an early stage of her discovering this power, she can hardly control it and finds that not much more than her hands and forearms actually take on these foreign qualities at her current stage. She also finds that materials that relate to life are easier to vicissitate with, as well. If she touches metal, only her fingers or hands might take on its qualities, whereas if she touches plant life or water her entire arms are viable to shift into a new state. Peculiarly enough her body maintains its ordinary shape and size when these shifts happen, leading her to believe that with time she might be able to control how her new limbs form, and finds that her movement and faculties are not hindered in the slightest.

it stands to reason that, as time goes on and her skill grows, she will be able to shift more and more of her body into a touched material.

Backstory!

Things aren't going that good for Wendy here...Locked up on a plane, these peculiar government types keeping her under lock and key. The thrum of a jet pulsated around her, the vibrations of a plane in the air rather familiar to the gal. Her eyes were closed, and her breathing shallow in an attempt to sleep. Her hands were gloved, if not bound in more retraining mannerisms. Her hair was dishevel-- hell, her whole being was disheveled. Being kidnapped and suddenly resigning yourself to your fate does kill one's self image.

How did she get here? Well, let's flashback a bit , shall we...?

Her story starts as any other does-- with her birth. It then proceeds to expand with boring exposition up until her early teens, where things began to get a bit interesting. Now, you see, her early years- encompassing elementary and early middle school- were filled with the usual child-like experimentation. As she grew into the young lady that would eventually graduate freshman year of high school, she found herself with a healthy balance of social and private life. Books and journals held her attention at home, whereas in public and at school her friends and associates were her primary focus. Unlike most individuals at this tumultuous period in their lives, she was stable and focused.

She even participated in a few of her school's sporting clubs, but ended up seguing into the Fencing Team as her primary focus. There was just a certain...allure to the old classical fighting style that the gal enjoyed. She was fair at it, and her slight form did give her rather enjoyable advantages, but she isn't...no, wasn't...really athletic enough to excel beyond her club, however. But that is neither here nor there, as her experience with fencing was purely for sport.

Her stability was, in part, due to her concise and blunt mannerisms. It allowed her a stoic outlook on life, and thus she enjoyed a drama-free childhood. She showed sympathy, but never bothered to actually feel what others felt. This stoicism was coupled, hand in hand, with her studious focus. She focused on studies when necessary, which wasn't often, and spent the remainder of time pandering to those friends she considered worthwhile throughout high school.

And the rest of her schooling went by in a flash, high school a blur of happy moments and fun times. Drama club, fencing tournaments, tests, and the occasional party-- everything was coming up Wendy!...

Then one day, during an outing with a group of friends shortly before her nineteenth birthday, they were having a pseudo-celebration, just amongst themselves. Nothing too special, just a get-together at the park for some of their usual good times; books, boys, and chocolate covered snacks. This day started out like any other of Wendy's outings, but ended up turning south when the girl took a nap out in the sun.

Now, for the most part, this was perfectly ordinary. People took naps out in parks often- and even if it weren't fine, her friends were just nearby. Everything should've been A-OK. However, her awakening was...Sudden and rude. She was pushed violently awake and had a jacket thrown over her body by a stony-faced friend who gestured for her to stay quiet. Wendy looked from him to her other associates who similarly looked stunned. Wendy was confused but went to push herself up- and suddenly froze up when she saw her green, fibrous, arm emerge from under the jacket. She stared at it for a moment with dread before just...Falling back, unconscious.

The next few weeks of hers were spent riddled with paranoia and filled by scribbling into journals and diaries, up until, just a few days after her nineteenth birthday, she was stolen away by the Blind Hand...

Drag and Pho accepted. Nice job guys.
That's 4 so far, 2 male, 2 female.
Will be looking at a max of 8, so including myself (male), we're looking at 2 more females and another male perhaps just for the sake of balance.

Finley Malone

Gender:
Male

Age:
19

Superhuman Abilites:
Air Manipulation.
Finley has the ability to shape and control the air around him, able to create jets or waves of air as weapons. He believes that in the future, with practice, he may be able to control the air in such a way that would allow him to fly, but he cannot reach even a meter or two off the ground without losing control at the present. Though he can only utilize the air as a weapon in few ways, it seems that with practice he could perhaps form small twisters and be able to use his abilities to asphyxiate others by depriving them of air.

Appearance:
Finley stands at a relatively tall 6'0 and has a athletic frame that would seem quite average for his height. His hair is a very dark tone of brown that would almost resemble black in certain lightning - it is short and somewhat messy. His eyes are a dark blue.

Personality Characteristics:
For the most part, Finley is quite a normal person for his age, making an effort to be friendly and open whenever he can, though that is just the first impression you may get from him. Finley can often be a little paranoid, finding it hard to trust others, especially strangers - nevertheless, he will keep his worries to himself and try and act comfortable around them. He has quite a laid-back feel to him, though he isn't really laid-back at all, often just adopting quite a relaxed posture whilst his head works away by itself. Due to his inner anxiety, he has quite a reckless temperament, meaning one little thing could swing him from being apparently calm to very hot-tempered and in some scenarios, violent.

History:
Finley is the youngest of three siblings. He and his two elder brothers were all born in Ireland, where Finley spent the first twelve years of his life, constantly moving neighbourhood and school due to his mother's inability to settle. Finley's mother was an odd woman, very uptight and abrasive, but she was good deep down. She worked in some dull office building. His father, on the other hand, was a very open and kind man who spent a lot of time with his children when he wasn't working as an electrician. When Finley was twelve, his mother decided she wanted to move to America. Finley's father totally rejected the idea and refused to move away from his homeland, believing this constant movement was bad for his children and that they simply didn't have the finances to make a clean move over to the USA and still have money for their children's further education. Finley, too, was against the idea as he wanted to keep a friend for more than a calendar year. His mother, however, continued to make plans to move against his father's wishes. Soon later, after a lot of arguments between Finley's parents, his parents separated, and after a long and strenuous legal battle, Finley's mother saw to it that she could take her children to America all by herself.

At the time Finley struggled to understand why or how they could just leave his father in Ireland, and looking back he hated to think about the struggle his father had gone through. Once they arrived in America - New York at first, Finley's mother instructed him and his brothers to never contact his father. His brothers never did, but one day he received a letter from his Father and remained in continuous secret contact through the years. He grew to have quite a vendetta against his mother, for ruining his childhood by pushing him from one town to another and for kicking his father out of his life, but he also felt sorry for her, wondering what issues had driven her to such a strange set of choices. Nevertheless, when he was of age to leave and get his own home, he did so, finally settling in one place for the foreseeable future for the first time in his life - this time California.

Finley lost contact with his family on the most part, rarely speaking with his mother and never really making an effort to meet with his brothers who he was never really too close with, which was surprising because of the fact he'd never really had many good friends. He did, however, keep in contact with his father who he continued to send monthly letters to. His life went on an upward spiral from then on, he went to College and settled in with a good group of friends, even got a girlfriend for the first time. However, naturally, he could not keep this good run going and eventually it all went down the drain. He began experiencing strange occurrences where bursts of air would thrust him forward, giving him a burst of pace. He did not connect the dots and realise he was the one controlling this air until he was involved in a fight with one of his close friends at school that had been brought on over a silly matter - he ended up accidentally thrusting his friend across the room and in to the wall, breaking several of his bones. His girl left him and his friends looked at him in a different way. Just when he thought it couldn't get any worse he fell asleep by the side of a tree in the afternoon and woke up in some sort of containment cell.

Olivia Defourny

Olivia Defourny
Female / 21

Superpower
Olivia is a Pyrokinetic, who can generate and manipulate fire as she desires, increasing or decreasing its heat, intensity, and size. At full capacity, she is believed to be impervious to the element and able to detonate in violent red-bluish firestorms. Her ability is extremely volatile and capable of a wide radius and measure of destruction, but at the cost of an unconscious state and duration appropriate to the intensity. It is arguable whether or not her ability should be called pyrokinetic, if not pyrochemical. However, so far, she has only discovered and mastered a few basic techniques common to popular culture, such as hurling large masses of fire and concentrated ‘sunbeam’ bursts. Melting locks off of doors is a personal favorite of hers, but it is yet a slow process.

Appearance
Slender frame, five feet four inches tall, weighing in at hundred and fourteen pounds, cerulean colored eyes, bistre colored hair with russet highlights, distinct facial features with inflated lips, pointy nose, and trenchant eyebrows.

Personality
Although easy going and respectful, Olivia can be unbelievably stubborn and inflexible in her approach. When the logical arguments do not suit her, she will just refuse to listen. This stems in her goal-oriented nature, in which she forms the notion that the world revolves around her. Her self-indulgent streak can sometimes make her ignorant of others’ emotions. She can also come off as materialistic and possessive, jealous and resentful. However, despite the defects, Olivia is dependable and will never abandon something or someone that she has set her mind to. This reliability and sensible nature makes her down to earth, often polite and pleasant in her personality. Olivia’s greatest traits are patience and persistency.

History
Olivia was born the only child to Henry and Miranda Defourny. While her parents did not have any regrets, she often wished for a sibling to keep her company. The elementary years passed in a slight breeze, Olivia effortlessly integrating with other children and the community in which she lived, a coastal town in Maine. However, around her sixth birthday, Olivia’s father left her mother for another woman, whose child happened to be Olivia’s best friend at the time. The two girls became competitive for parental attention and subsequently lost touch. Two months later, Olivia and her mother moved away from Maine to Boston, where Olivia’s aunt lived.

The next few years were a vicious war between Olivia’s mother and father for the custody. She had to spend every other week with one parent and the rest of the time with the other, and when the legal procedures changed, and Olivia’s mother was victorious, Olivia could only see her father during the weekends. Soon enough, it became a torment and she drifted further away from social endeavors in school. It was not until her teenage years that Olivia came out of her shell and found her rightful place among the loud and popular, but smart enough to keep in touch with the introverts with which she made friends during the elementary years.

Olivia did not make peace with her father until she entered her twenties, early collage years. He had always told her that he will explain everything when she gets older. One night, during a weekend in Maine, Olivia asked of him to spill it all out for her. Henry proceeded to tell Olivia everything about his life before her, leading up to her birth, and beyond — everything made sense and Olivia forgave her father for all his bad decisions and wrong doings. Eight months later, Henry Defourny passed away. Olivia was devastated at first, but relived at the same time. She was grateful that they had the chance to talk before he died, but sorry that they did not have the chance to live in that honesty. Her conflicting emotions had a peculiar, eldritch reaction.

Olivia’s display of immolation occurred when she and her mother were cooking dinner. The incident caused her mother to suffer third degree burns on seventy-five percent of her body, and it put her in a coma from which she has yet to recover. Olivia was miraculously unharmed, but she has not displayed the same level of immunity to the element since. Consequently, Olivia blamed herself for her mother’s suffering and possible death, and was forced by recommendation to see a therapist. The official report of the incident described a mechanical malfunction as the cause, and Olivia’s fortunate positioning in the kitchen as the cause for her survival, an act of God. However, after Olivia confessed her unique relationship with fire to her therapist, things took a turn for the worst.

[Nevermind]

Don't worry about it. If you look at my character's power, you can compare it in that way, wind and fire both being elements.

Edit: Basically, what you're saying is that at full power she is Human Torch-esque? I guess that's fine, just I don't see it happening any time soon without it getting her killed. Mastery takes time. ;)

[Mirandae]

It certainly does! I'm not sure if she'd be able to fly, seems a bit much. I did, however, model the ability after Elizabeth Sherman in Hellboy, and I think she's able to levitate to some degree. But, whatever, we'll cross that bridge when we get there! If it feels right then, I could see her levitating, but not flying around akin to Johnny Storm.

[Nevermind]

Yeah of course, like I've said before, I'm not going to go all dictator on this RP, so whatever the majority thinks is the best option is okay with me.

Also, Hellboy is kickass.

NOTE: There is one spot remaining. It will most likely be for a male character. Please do not submit any female characters from now on. If you have already made a character but haven't submitted it yet, PM me and we can discuss it.
