[OOC] Masks

[Inuyasha]

Room for one more? This roleplay looks extremely enticing

[pyroman]

why not?

[twave]

I probably won't be making posts as big as that first one. Still lot's of backstory that needed posting.

[Inuyasha]

Ah, yes. I will make a CS immediately, hopefully I'll make it in time so that my characters not too late to the festivities.

[Inuyasha]

Name: Raymond White, but when he puts on his mask he becomes his alter ego; Akumetsu. Age: 19, almost 20 Gender: Male Appearance:

Raymond White

Masked appearance:

Akumetsu

Masked powers: ☠ Firemorphing ☠ - Firemorphing is not the ability to shoot fire and such as is popular in most fire based powers but is actually the ability to be able to morph ones limbs or body parts into fire. For example, Akumetsu could engulf his fist in searing flames (these would not harm him) and punch someone to cause extreme damage. Another extreme example would be morphing his entire body into flames or something of the like. It, also, would not be uncommon to see him morph his arm into a fiery sword or halberd. ☑ All Around Improvements ☑ - The mask also affords Raymond some all around enhancements to his basic abilities. He becomes a little faster when running, he just a little more endurance, he has more strength, et cetera. Personality: Raymond is shy and timid without the mask. He likes to make jokes and so forth but only once he's come out of his shell, which he rarely does. His mother once said, "if you know your way to Raymond's heart, you know the secrets of the universe." Masked personality: When masked, Akumetsu is fiery and cocky, always talking back and looking for any possible fight he could pick. He likes to make snide remarks and retorts and always defies authority, if only to be an arse. Akumetsu is not to be played with for fear that you might set him off into a frenzy. Akumetsu is not totally without reason however. He can work with others towards a greater goal, but he will always be a fuse waiting to be lit by a stray spark. Background: Raymond was not born to a broken home. Raymond was not born to a hood family in the projects. Raymond was born to a perfectly normal suburban white home. His childhood was smooth sailing, nothing wrong with it. Sure, Raymond had always been a timid kid ever since a young age, but his parents expected that this would fade. Besides, even if it didn't it wasn't that big of deal. His family was very close knit, always going out for family outings and trips around the continent for "family bonding time" as his mother put it. Raymond's childhood was a pleasant one, and there was nothing wrong with that. However, oddities began to occur when he was just thirteen. His mother had taken him to a industrial area to return a few cans of paint thinners she had bought. She left Raymond in a pawnshop next door, instructing him not to touch anything for fear he might break it. He was allowed to look around and if he was on good behavior maybe his mother would buy him something as a special treat. After looking at several old flowery dresses and ceramic vases with much disinterest, something caught his eye. It was a mask, one that would shape his life. It was glistening red and smudged black, and it was quite possibly the most extraordinary thing he had seen in all his life. He felt an almost immediate pull to it, almost like something was gravitating him to it. Like someone was pulling on the strings that controlled his muscles and was simply dragging him to the mask. He looked at the price tag, thinking to himself that he had to buy the mask, to find it a walloping 1500 dollars. Something possessed him and he did something he would have never done in his life and he swiped the mask and hid it in the breast of his jacket. Over the years, the mask got lost and found and lost again, and finally stored in a secluded and musty corner of his garage. By this time, Raymond was 18, just about to leave for Westpont College of the Arts to get his degree in Art History. As he was packing his things and going through boxes he discovered his old mask again. And the rest is history.

Since we've established that there's not going to be a defined posting cycle (a notion I fully support), I'll wait out a post or two between our lovely host and Dite. It would be rude and chaotic to have too many introductions occur at the same time.

[twave]

And I have to wait for them to come back down anyway.

[Revans Exile]

Pyro you described Dite's mask wrong. The Dite mask covers the entire head. The Laurel thing or whatever you descibed is just decoration.

[pyroman]

got it.

[twave]

Hm. Not sure if Robert/Koharu's mask would be visible if it shifts with them.

[Major Ursa]

I kind of want to have Isaiah use illusion to render himself imperceptible to the group gathering...kinda.

[pyroman]

He could avoid interaction, but Reaper would still know tha he's there, if that's a good alternative/workaround for you.

[twave]

I think this is going to be fun.

[Inuyasha]

okie my cs Is done

[twave]

I don't have much to post right now. Once Dite makes her way down then there will actually be someone to interact with.

[shi12]

I'm right there with you. I have no idea what the world below looks like quite yet and there is no one for Nina to interact with other than talk to her mask.

[twave]

Yeah, Robert and Koharu's mask doesn't really have a persona. It nudges and perswades them to do things. Or at least it used to.

[Inuyasha]

Pyro could you have a look at my CS, tell me if its any good?

[pyroman]

Akumetsu is in.

[twave]

@Revans Exile "Koharu" is already there in the waiting room. I'll be posting later on in the day.
