[OOC] The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

@Mass City

You missed this part.

It was then that Elijah Craigh and the gang elected to burst in. Impressive." She murmured, raising a small eyebrow at him as she moved away from the control system. "Your confidence does little to cover the severity of your condition, Eli. Walk much longer and you'll be out for an awfully long time." Yawning, she allowed Aiko to stumble towards Elijah before she sat back, waiting for something to happen that shown no signs of showing.

Training as messed me up a bit. I am working on a post right now.

[Mass City]

When I get time I will edit

[NarcissisticPotato]

alrighty I've looked over the characters and was wondering what your limit is to powers?

@Nytefall

The others guys have kinda said all there needs to be said but if you have any ideas for powers, just message me and I'll tell you if it's a little too powerful or if you can make it more powerful! Anyways, welcome to the Gifted!

[Sapphire]

What if we turned all the frozen characters into part of the plot or something? Like people will just start freezing left and right and we can blame it on the aliens.... Its better than not doing anything at all.

[Pirouette]

♫ la la la I've been here all long da da da ♫

@Sapphire

You mean like Raijinslayer and Subject Zero? That's not a bad idea.

[Sapphire]

Thank you! Raijin has so many characters that everyone should feel the effect. I might implement it in a collab I was working on with Raijin, Bee and Pirouette. Bee Gave up so Cedric's ghost is going to freeze and so will Jackson because Raijin is on hiatus.
@AcerRo

[AcerRo]

Given that Bee has left our motly Crew. We are gonna be on a Titan Pad.
https://titanpad.com/69W5FrRUad

Name: Houston Kelorae
Gender: Male
Alias: None
Age: 24
Affiliation: None Leans towards the greater good though
Faction: None

Appearance/Description:

Houston does not wear any kind of superhero suit or disguise, he normally doesn’t go looking for trouble unless he needs to learn information Then the only kind of disguise he would wear would be a scarf over his face.

Abilities:

I’m not crazy. YET!: Houston has a high resistance against mental attacks or attacks that attack his mind. This is due to his already cracked and damaged mind that finds only the strongest of mental attacks actually affect him. It also makes him basically immune to people reading his mind as all they will be able to see are the horrific vision he saw.

Doorway beyond the veil: Houston has opened a doorway inside his mind and tapped into the power of the Great Old Ones. It grants all of his abilities the ability to drain his opponents sanity and stamina to the point of causing permanent mental damage when exposed to them for too long. The side effects from being exposed to the Great Old One’s powers can result in Schizophrenia, Delusion, Dementia, Blackouts, Self harm, Disorientation and finally suicide or Hysteria causing them to not recognise friend from foe.

Necronomicon: Houston wields the tome known as the Necronomicon with is he can summon otherworldly creatures to possess his body granting him great strength, endurance and allowing him to twist his body into inhuman shapes without harming himself. This causes him great mental strain and is normally a last resort as he must rest after reading from and banishing the spirit that possessed him. He can also curse his enemies by reading from the book causing the afflicted to be harassed by evil entities until the curse is dispelled or the entity defeated. Houston must recite the entire passage which is three pages long.

Power of the Great Old Ones: Houston can manifest and wield the power of the Great Old Ones. This power can manifest itself in a majority of ways. Mainly it looks like smoking darkness in his hands, he can throw this mass of dark energy at someone or simply touch them causing a variety of effects. Sometimes it can do nothing other times and more then likely it will do something harmful. Houston has seen people's limbs turn to glass or butterflies. Their body age rapidly or suffer necrosis of the hit area. Or Houston has seen people’s body explode into thousands of pieces. He never knows what will happen but it always amazes him.

Skills:

Scholar: Thanks to his eidetic memory he found school very easy and has no trouble gleaming information from books or people. It also allows him to pick up basic skills fairly quickly.

Master Linguist: Houston knows over 20 different languages

Psychologist: Houston is an unofficial psychologist as he never finished his course. Allowing him to read people and manipulate them.

Master of the Unknown: The corruption that was forced upon him changed his body in many ways, allowing him to endure alot more punishment than an normal human could take and strengthened his mind against mental attacks.

Equipment:

The Necronomicon: A book crafted from human and Xeno skin it’s origin is unknown to Houston but it was a rare find during an expedition into a Great Old One cult. The book's contents are all written in the Language of the Old Ones. Reading from this book is enough to drive weak minds insane and release dangerous creature who hunger for human blood and souls. Houston can wield the book but only through sheer force of will and everytime he uses the book he must fight for control of his mind and the power the book has trapped inside it’s pages.

Taser: Its a taser for self defense.

Ranking: Rank B

Brief History:

Houston has a dark past. Since birth he has known nothing but rituals, cult meetings and murder of the worst kind. Houston was born into a cult and raised as the prophet child of the religion. According to the cults ancient text and divine imagery, a child would be born from the blood of their mother with the strength to channel the Great Old One’s power and lead them into a new world.

Houston’s birth was no miracle but fates worst joke. His mother heavily pregnant, took part in a ritualistic suicide in which her womb was cut open to allow Houston into the world. Herself performed cesarean worked but Houston’s mother did not survive the amount of damage that she inflicted upon herself. Thus the first part of the prophecy was complete, Houston had indeed been born from the dead and bloody corpse of his mother. When Houston’s eyes first gazed upon the world he saw only horror. His eye’s saw things that a normal human’s could not, he heard the harsh whisper of thousands of voices in his ear and felt a malevolent presence held back by a thin veil of light.

Houston was trained in the cults ways and was sent to school like a normal child. However Houston could never shut out the voices, or stop the creatures he saw from staring at him patiently, like dogs waiting for their owners to feed them. Houston could tell that he could not be a master to these beasts he barely kept his sanity in check when he looked upon them. For every glimpse, every whisper he heard he was pulled slowly but surely into the dark chasm of madness. He never spoke about what he saw to anyone not even his father.

Houston managed his way through school, then through university where he did a degree in mythology and the history of religion. While in his studies he discovered that names of the creatures that had plagued him his entire life. As he delved deeper into his studies he learnt more and more about his cults dark past. The rituals that his father and his cult had performed on him, the many people he had watched be tortured and killed. It was all to weaken the veil that separated their world from the Great Old One’s world.

Realising how foolish he had been he confronted his father with the knowledge he had found. his father chuckled telling his son to follow him deep into the cults worshiping chambers. Once there he found all of the cultist in a large circle made up of three rings of people, each person grasped tightly in their right hand a dagger. In the middle of the circle was a large basin built into the form. Then it all went dark. He woke up bound in the basin his father was in the circle and all of the cultist were chanting loudly. A tall slim joyous man waltz towards Houston, he bent down and cupped Houston’s chin in his hand and smiled. He spoke in what Houston now knows to be latin. The words he spoke were forever engraved in Houston’s fragile mind finally cracking him and causing that last of Houston’s sanity to leave him.

The words are as followed:
Though they sleep beyond the veil
Though they are trapped behind the veil
Though they look into this world
They may never touch the world they see beyond the veil
This child has been born from blood
This child has seen they who lie beyond the veil
This child is ready to become the doorway from this world to theirs
Let your blood fill the basin mortals and grant this human your strength to ascend and tear the barriers of this world down!

The man raised his hands in the air as all of the cultist slit the person to their lefts throat causing the blood to gush from them into the basin bathing Houston in the blood of the cultist who despite their excessive blood loss, remained upright head bowed toward Houston until their final drop of blood was spent. Houston screamed as he was lifted of his feet above the basin the blood below him writhed and whipped at his ankles. His scream of pain became silent his mouth agape as his mind was torn open revealing to him the secrets of the world that humans inhabited. His brain overflowed with every detail of earths history from its birth to its death. He saw the Great old ones awakening from their slumber and breaking through the veil that had protect the human race for so long. He watched as the universe was enslaved and set upon by these monstrous creatures.

Then it stopped, the vision disappeared and Houston dropped into the now empty basin. The tall man looked down at Houston fascinated at what the man had become. Houston was a door waiting to be unlocked and thus the tall man turned around and disappeared into darkness saying one final speech to Houston before he lost consciousness: The most merciful thing in the world... is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents but you. You can see the world and its barriers. You alone can stop what you have forseen and what will happen if you fail. Use these gift wisely. That reminds me. You are but one part of a seven piece door they have the key but they must influence the mortals here to create the doors they need to enter this world. Good luck Houston. And the tall man disappeared in a sea of darkness as Houston’s body fell into unconsciousness.

Houston managed to piece his sanity back together but he still finds it hard to control his delusions, however his delusions granted him powers he could've never imagined which he plans to use to stop the Great Old One’s from using him or anyone else as a conduit to enslave this world.

@Nytefall

Accepted! ^.^

Although I would say with his diverse range of powers, he may slide up into a minor A-rank but that is debatable! Anyways, welcome to the Gifted!

[Nytefall]

@NarcissisticPotato The whole point of his powers is that they can benefit him as much as they can harm him.

[Lord Santa]

@Nytefall, one of my characters is also named Isaac, by the way. That might get confusing.

[Pripovednik]

Any vital things i must know before making a cs? (read ooc intro post)

[AcerRo]

Nothing major. Toss a CA up and we can go from there.

[Nytefall]

@Lord SantaI'll change his name to Houston

[RoflsMazoy]

@Pripovednik @Nytefall

Actually we're kind of on an alien space ship right now after all the metas in the world got kidnapped and put into tubes. I'm pretty sure that's kind of important @AcerRo

@RoflsMazoy

Just slightly important! Like a small bit!

@NarcissisticPotato The whole point of his powers is that they can benefit him as much as they can harm him.

@Nytefall

Got it! Go on ahead and throw up a post. I would advise asking around to see what's happening. Basically, what Rofls said above!

[Pripovednik]

@NarcissisticPotato Can you approve/shoot down in flames my character please ?

[NarcissisticPotato]

@NarcissisticPotato Can you approve/shoot down in flames my character please ?

@Pripovednik

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to go with the latter! :P

First of all, your powers don't really seem to tie together except for one or two. It seems that the whole Inorganic Material thing was just slapped on without heeding the rest of his power set. Secondly, as it stands it would be physically impossible to kill him. His accelerated senses paired with his apparent resistance to kinetic energy would make him win any fight without breaking a sweat.

The gravitational field I'm ok with but the whole "destruction equal to an atomic bomb" would have to be moderated intensively. But I'm actually ok with this power so go ahead with it!

The whole inorganic materials power shouldn't even be there because that could be a power set on its own, really. I don't particularly care about it but I'm just commenting that it doesn't seem to fit in.

I've saved the best for the last so let's look at his speed. Now you tried to be a little sneaky here with your m/s but old Tater doesn't let anything past him! I know this is a superhero RP but if you convert 480 m/s to mph you get something like 1073. Even if we factor in that his body is augmented, there is so much forces acting against him that even if he was capable of running that fast, the forces would just flat out kill him. Considering sonic booms are created at around 700 mph, that alone would be enough to kill him because the compressed air pressing against him would create heat that would roast/boil him alive.

Not to mention the air resistance he would face and if it would even physically be possible to take in air at such a speed. And I know with superheroes you drop this sort of thing but that speed is way too fast! If he was to even punch someone going at that speed, I would not like to see the mess made after it.

[Pripovednik]

@NarcissisticPotato Edited, how about now?
