Judging by how the other character seems to work, I think she'd be fine.

Alrighty :D I'll reformat and post ASAP

Okays.

Name: Avaline “Ava” Wise

Age: Eleven

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Picture

Personality: Ava is strangely calm all of the time. She always talks with a relaxed voice and her body language mimics this. Her muscles never seem tense and her eyes have a slight cloud to them that makes it seem like she might not always be 'there'. Ava also doesn't get stressed out or scared easily. She is also extremely respectful. If you are older then her then she will listen to anything you say and will do anything you ask her to. Also, like most other children, Ava loves to talk to other people. She can make a conversation out of almost anything, however this sometimes comes as a bad thing since she doesn't understand when she needs to be quiet. She also had the tendency to turn things into games, maybe as a way of dealing with fear and stress.

On rare occasions Ava sometimes falls into tantrums. These are seemingly random, one time she might be able to deal with something but the next time it might set her off. For instance, getting slapped might not seem to effect her while stubbing her toe might cause her to scream and cry.

Skills: Does being a totally adorable child count as a skill? Hey, getting on peoples good sides is useful in prison. She also is relatively good at running, jumping and climbing, but she is no master of these. Her senses are rather advanced, so I guess you could add 'really good at eavesdropping' to her list of skills.

Abilities:

I

Think: Small, rapid, furry hulk. When Ava is in danger, or if the circumstances call for it, her body undergoes a transformation since her 'fight' is might stronger then her 'flight' drive. This transformation pretty much turns Ava into a beast. Her fingernails and teeth become long and pointed, her back hunches forward as she runs on her four limbs. Her vocalizations become snarls and growls and body becomes stronger and faster. In this form her strength and agility increases. It's extremely hard to calm her down out of this rage, and it usually best to just let herself exhaust herself out of it.

This isn't without it's own weaknesses however, and I would like to state them out front to avoid being over powered. Whenever her brain shifts over into beast mode, her body tends to focus on things like running away or punching whatever is in her way, not so much higher level thinking. Whenever Ava's body goes through its transformation, her intelligence will drop drastically. This isn't permanent by any means-rather, it's just she'll be operating off panic and instinct rather than reason and logic. Furthermore, her short-term memory will not be working as clearly, so her memory of what happened shortly before the transformation and what occurred during the transformation will be fuzzy. Finally, similar to growing pains, shifting into a big fuzzy ball of death will cause her to have some residual pain and soreness after wards, along with some pretty heavy fatigue. Maintaining the hyper-metabolism of her furry form for longer than fifteenish minutes (without practice) will be difficult as well-if she fatigues in her beast form, she'll just revert back to a totes adorb little girl.

Equipment: Nothing currently.

Brief Backstory: How much of a bio can a eleven year old have? Going along with this, Belle cannot remember much about her life before her powers began to expose. From a young age Belle had been told to keep her powers under control by keeping her emotions always in check. This kept her from going to school like other kids, and kept her away from making relationships with other people other then her parents. Belle often felt guilty about her powers, she made her parents fear her unintentionally. Anything could set her off into a deadly rage. There were times when Belle suddenly woke up to her parents huddling in a locked bedroom, trying to keep Belle out.

Soon the family began to receive threats from neighbors, calling Ava a beast and a monster. All in all, Ava was never given a strong foundation of anything as a kid, except for a strong survival sense, which has lead to her being weak academically. She can do only the simplest reading, writing and mathematics. Ava eventually grew tired of her the constant fear. She even feared herself. She decided the only thing left to do was to run away from home. Ava doesn't consider her a superhero of any sort, because of her weak grasp on her powers.

@WatermelonTango: I'm sorry, but I have some problems here.For one thing, normally I don't point anything out about pictures, but when your picture is a recognizable political figure(Prince Harry) it's a bit weird.His weakness is cancelled out due to the armor he wears performing a shield of molten metal.I'm also not sure how someone like him would actually make it to joining ARROW.

Being honest. Didn't recognize the person. I was looking for a picture (I typed out 30 year old male into google image to start) and that one stuck out to me. I'll change it.

Forge's other implied weakness is that without material he can't create armor, without armor his inner flame is exposed, etc. His armor also isn't any more strong then you'd expect knight's armor to be, and he can't keep it molten all of the time because that would only make his armor soft.

Telling me that you couldn't seeing him joining ARROW is about as vague a criticism as you can give me. I can't do anything with that. Does ARROW have entry requirements? You mentioned a lot of criminals join simply to make it easier to get away with crime, so why doesn't Forge fit that category?

[VitaVitaAR]

@Dragonbud: Um, I'm going to be honest. I didn't realize how young a character you meant, and seeing her I really don't know how she would even work in the RP.

I don't think she's acceptable.

[Dragonbud]

Eh, that's too bad. Thanks for your time.

[VitaVitaAR]

@WatermelonTango: Thank you for changing the picture.

I didn't realize he could run out of armor, as well.

My complaint there was more along the lines of surprise that someone who is basically a crazed LARPer made it to joining ARROW, which is a full-blown terrorist organization operating on a global scale. He seems more like a solo villain.

[WatermelonTango]

I changed the picture for you. I'll also add a note that makes it clear that his armor can run out. Sometimes Forgeborn will be forced to choose between being armed with a sword and having a certain body part protected when he's down on resources.

I wouldn't have made him a part of ARROW, but I was afraid that he'd be a one act character who would then not be involved in the plot anymore. At least in ARROW he'd be given assignments and have other people to work for and continue to be involved later down the line.

[VitaVitaAR]

I'll look the bio over again tomorrow, but the organizations are just there for background. Being in them or not will not effect plot relevance.

Will get working on something today, if you'll have me.

Why not make him like Viral (Gurren Lagann) or Nui (Kill La Kill)? Comes back frequently to be evil and badass, then eventually

spoilers for both

joins the good guys or dies?

The RP is still open so I'll have plenty more players. If more join at least. ^^;

[Metronome]

So about when can we expect this to start?

[VitaVitaAR]

Very soon hopefully. ^^;

By which I mean... possibly weekend depending on how things go.

[Nosuchthing]

I will post something tonight! XD

[VitaVitaAR]

Looking forward to it, eh-heh. For now an NPC bio.

Name: Maestro, real name unknown.
Age: Speculated to be late teens.
Gender: Female
Appearance: "Shut up and get ready for my performance~" Maestro wears pastel pinks and blues, and has presumably-dyed pink hair. She is very pale. In addition, she is surprisingly short, managing to be well under five feet at around 4'5 in height.
Personality: Maestro is an unusual supercriminal. While she certainly perpetrates crimes, and even steals or causes severe property damage, that's never the goal of her crime. Instead, Maestro refers to herself as a "performance criminal". Her crimes are all about being as showy as possible. They're about the act rather than the conclusion. Naturally, this means her crimes are often as impressive as she can manage. Maestro displays a rather dry, sarcastic sense of humor, as well as a rather theatrical approach to crime in fitting with her performance-focused activities. She feels it is important to take good care of her "marching band", her gang of all-female henchmen dressed as flamboyantly as she is. Maestro has a passion for classical music, displayed frequently in her criminal acts and even her fighting style. Maestro is dedicated, some may see surprisingly, to never kill in the course of her crimes. Indeed, when she clased with Blast Girl, she ended up pleading with the former to back down so that she was not killed by a particularly damaging burst of sound. However, Blast Girl endured and defeated Maestro, though she was not apprehended.
Skills: Maestro has an encyclopedic knowledge of classical music. She is also rather charismatic and charming, at least in the eyes of her "marching band". She possesses deep musical knowledge, and given how her weapons work this is an asset.
Abilities: It is unknown if Maestro possesses any superhuman abilities.
Equipment: Maestro utilizes a combination jetpack/amplifier. This allows her to both fly and fire directed blasts of sound, using classical music sent through the machine. The power is enough to do serious damage to her surroundings.
Brief Backstory: Maestro appeared shortly before Blast Girl took up the mantel of a superhero. She pursued various crimes, all of them all about the performance rather than the conclusion. However, Blast Girl ended up pursuing her and they fought, ending with Maestro's defeat. She escaped, however, and has continued to actively perform. She also actively aided Blast Girl in defeating the murderous supercriminal Mister Crystal, though she quickly fled to avoid the authorities afterwards.
