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

[Marx]

@Raijinslayer@AcerRo Ja, once I get back, if Narc is still up for it, we'll be doing a collab. They're about to jaunt out of the cafe.

[Letter Bee]

<Snipped quote by Letter Bee> Where exactly is that?

@The Patriarch

On the Eastern Outskirts of LA; it's a large complex that functions as an administrative centre, airfield, fortress, refugee centre and rehabilitation clinic. It also has a number of 'luxury suites' for the more 'troubled' heroes, so as to help them recover. Heroes who aren't troubled, like Adam, get a more...moderate set of accomodations; livable instead of luxurious, unless they make a request for it to be otherwise.

[Lord Santa]

@RoflsMazoy you should probably jump in to stop insomnium before it gets worse

[Letter Bee]

@Lord Santa, @RoflsMazoy, can we talk on Sync.in?

[RoflsMazoy]

@Lord Santa

I'll be giving him a text sooner or later, preferably before he's done

Olivia Octavia Delacroix

Name: Olivia Octavia Delacroix Alias(s): Stellar, Starshine Age: 21 Affiliations: Heroes Factions: Reformists / International Heroes

Description:

Standing at about five foot, eight inches, you can immediately tell by looking at Olivia that she leads a healthy lifestyle. She looks healthy, well-defined and is rather good-looking. Of course, that wouldn't be possible if she wasn't a more combat orientated Meta and if her time as an International Hero didn't teach her that she has to be fit and ready for any challenge. Her hair is a light shade of brown and her eyes are an intense green. She's one of those people who could smile and light up a room - a sure sign that her career so far hasn't been fraught with scarring situations. Overall, she looks like a hero but is pretty enough to gain a rather large male fan-base. Clothing:

Powers: Possibly one of the reasons why our species have survived up until this point is our innate ability to spot patterns. So good is this ability that we even spot patterns where there aren't any real patterns. Ever since we even developed intelligent-thinking, humanity has been looking up to the stars and finding patterns to suit a certain deity or maybe even a hero that was immortalised in the stars. They have been our way to guide ourselves but also our way to cement our culture into the surrounding universe. Olivia's powers are the physical manifestation of these immortalised patterns in the stars. Strangely, she can take a pattern of stars that humanity has linked with a certain hero or being and then adopt the powers of that hero or being. This ability is possibly one of the strangest known to man, considering that star constellations aren't ingrained in our genes. In fact, they're not even part of the world around us like things such as fire or illusions. Star constellations are a man-made construct but somehow, Olivia has been able to utilise them. Up to now, she has only mastered three constellations. These constellations or forms are summoned by drawing the pattern in the air with a special tool that she had developed specifically for the role.

Pyxis: The Mariner's Compass

Pyxis itself was the first constellation that Olivia mastered, primarily because of its rather simple design and nature. Pyxis is Latin for mariner's compass but this strangely does not give her the great power to navigate the oceans with utmost efficiency. In fact, it isn't really a combat constellation at all. This constellation gives Olivia the ability to see the logical route through a problem even when she could be blinded by anger or need. It allows her to make informed decisions on any real matter. Although this might be useful for getting out of sticky situations, the International Heroes put it to use in peace talks in the Middle East and surprisingly, it worked exceptionally well. Olivia could broker a deal between two sides that suited both sides just by knowing some background on the situation and being able to safely discuss terms of peace with warring sides. It was Pyxis that garnered her the adoration of peace-loving people around the world. She was even momentarily a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize but it went to another. Nevertheless, she had gained the attention of the world and the Heroes capitalised on that to bolster their image. She rose high in the group, quickly becoming a spokeswoman for them and a part-time figurehead of the peace movement before other heroes began to sign up.

Orion: The Hunter

Orion was the second constellation she mastered and the very first combat constellation. She would have never learned it if she hadn't of realised that she desperately needed it. When she was travelling around the Middle East, bringing together fractured sides and propagating peace, her helicopter was brought down out of the sky by a MANPAD. Because she was the only meta present and her healing powers were above normal, she somehow survived the crash while the rest of her party died. If that ordeal wasn't enough, she was captured by those who shot her helicopter down and taken to a nearby cave-system. It appeared that she was going to die - they had warned of an execution but surprisingly, they didn't want any form of pay-out. They were going to kill her and nothing could reverse that. It was at the scene of her execution that her powers, seeking self-preservation, flared and activated the Orion Constellation. Although she couldn't use the bow that formed in front of her, the stellar-energy hunting dogs tore the throats out of her captors and allowed her to escape. After that, she chose to learn Orion just for protection but it allowed her to adapt to a combat-orientated Meta.

Lepus: The Hare

Lepus was the third and final constellation she has learned to date. Her choice of this constellation was not only because it was rather easy to learn but it's also a more mobility-based power, allowing her to run at exceptional speeds and do small blinks, which for a normal person processing things at a normal pace, would look like she's jumping to a spot at a pace that causes her form to blur. With this power, she gains a great understanding of her surroundings, allowing her to escape harm by utilising any escape route. Basically, she becomes a parkour-master when she activates this constellation.

Weaknesses: With great powers come a great amount of weaknesses. First and foremost is her need to have a direct connection to the stars. If she goes deep underground then her powers become non-existent and will only return when she returns to a more suitable depth. This applies to deep-sea diving as well. Another factor that can have a massive effect on her is the current light-levels. In low light-levels, her powers will be rather weak and she won't be as strong as usual. In high light-levels, such as a full moon, her powers become stronger. Her Achilles Heel is when she's changing forms. Most of her enemies freeze when they see her summoning the power of the stars but if they choose that moment to attack, they'd find that she was in a highly-weakened state with nothing to defend herself with. This has two different forms though - if she's moving from her normal state to a star-form then she'll simply be a little more weakened but if she's moving from one star-state to another then the pain she experiences becomes extremely amplified. A weak punch could have the potential to make her double over in pain while a directed Meta ability could be the most painful thing she's ever experienced. It varies.

Skills: -Negotiations -Hand-to-hand combat -Parkour -Piloting -Persuasive skills Equipment: -Handy mobile phone -A small, pen-like object that emits a trail of light that allows her to draw her constellations with the utmost accuracy. Ranking: A (Optional) Brief History: (I've revealed some, I'll reveal more later)

[Subject Zero]

You know what surprises me, that nobody ever asked what Kuro took, or from who he took it from? I expected at least one person to mention it, given Kuro's less than savory interests.

@Raijinslayer

You know I did wonder that and meant to ask. What did he take.

[NarcissisticPotato]

Marx just go on ahead and post because we keep missing each other!

[Letter Bee]

@NarcissisticPotato, your character is awesome!

[Archmage MC]

@RoflsMazoy you should probably jump in to stop insomnium before it gets worse

@Lord Santa

You do know Light is just watching the thing? I just don't know if its 'appropriate' for me to interfere, well, RP appropriate. Now that things are getting... lethal, she'd probably interfere. But I dunno if that woudl be butting into their fight too much. lol.

[Gentlemanvaultboy]

It's not exactly legal to just fight in the street. When you think about it this is the equivilant of two guy partaking in a casual gun fight in the middle of LA, in full view of god and everyone.

[Raijinslayer]

It's not exactly legal to just fight in the street.

@Gentlemanvaultboy

They're not in or on the street, they're above it. So, you know, plausible loop hole. Besides, one's a robot, the other is unidentifiable for the most part, with both his face and voice being hidden, so trying to catch him will be next to impossible.

@Raijinslayer

Well, in the middle of the city was my meaning. If anything the fact that one of them is throwing around enough power to make this arena, and that neither of them can be identified, just makes the whole thing suspitious as hell.

[Archmage MC]

Welp now Light has gotten involved, so yay.

[Alternax]

Come'on archmage, none of his moves managed to do anything and his sphere burned up before anything happened. No remarks about the giant red laser tornado really?

[Raijinslayer]

Yeah, it's probably for the best that the fight stopped, as Insomnium was thinking about the people below him for the fight. That was about to stop happening, as he was about to get really into it, but luckily, Alto Ganze saves he day with a job, or else he would have just fought both Overdrive and Light.

@Raijinslayer

Yeah. The supernova deathball of shadow spikes sorta made the battle less fun and more dangerous :P. Now, here is the question. Is he made of shadows or does he just control them? If its the former you do not wanna fight Light. Same with overdrive, he'd have a weird time with Light. Robotics and cartoon physics don't mix well xD.

From what I saw, he just controls them.

@Archmage MC

He just controls it, and the only reason he's able to phase into the shadows construct is because it's made completely of shadows and is relatively thick, also, the ball didn't actually get to form spikes, as the cloud was launched upward by the plasma tornado, which is awesome by the way, and all the ball did was make a big cloud. The next thing he was going to do would have been trying to trip Overdrive, as I assume he's on the arena at the moment, or bringing out the big guns by energizing his shadows so that they worked like lasers, as well as just going all out berserk. But duty called, and Light gave him an excuse to leave as well, so that he doesn't seem like he's running away from the fight.

@Raijinslayer

Ok. Fair enough. lol. Guess Overdrive will be being recruited if Cedric wants him to be. Course Light knows nothing of the guy so...
