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

[Mass City]

1,2,3,4, I declare a prank war!

[Pirouette]

<Snipped quote by Raijinslayer>

What about Ann and Ariadne's ghost powers?

@Pirouette, we're halfway through the next day. Also, a question: can Ann and Adriane's ghost powers find Kuro?

@Letter Bee

I'll make the appropriate edits then. Probably just say she got a shower and all.

Yes. If Kuro can see Ariadne, they can see him (Ann needs to be in ghost form to see however)

<Snipped quote by Raijinslayer>

YES! Time to get Ann and Adriane to help with the prank war, or pull Dean out of the pit of obscurity!

@Pirouette, still here?

@Letter Bee

Yep still here!

[Letter Bee]

@Pirouette, Cool, because we need ya for a prank war, as Jackson/Kuro had just made the mistake of antagonizing a genius and two jerkasses.

[Pirouette]

Well give me the details. Assume Ann is wandering about.

Question: do they know of her abilities yet? She's a bit secretive about that.

[Raijinslayer]

Unless she's told someone, then I don't think so. Kuro knows that she has a ghostly companion though,as he can see through Jackson's eyes and noticed Adriane when Jackson said hi.

[Letter Bee]

Well give me the details. Assume Ann is wandering about.

Question: do they know of her abilities yet? She's a bit secretive about that.

@Pirouette

This post.

They know she's a Meta, and they should have performed a basic check-up already, and basic check-ups for Metas are different than for normal people.

Also, they already have a Meta who can see ghosts; he just belongs to a defunct player.

Well give me the details. Assume Ann is wandering about.

@Pirouette

Eli and Nate wouldn't know. They are bith too new to know and Eli wouldn't care enough unless he's met you.

For the love of all thats dedent, leave Dean gone.

@AcerRo

All right; I'll have Cedric know about Ann's powers due to Ann getting a check-up, if that's all right with @Pirouette.

[Pirouette]

Made the edits, introduced the Check-Up section. You'll find her in the staff break room.

[AcerRo]

For the sake of keeping everything organized, can you but that in a new post?

Our favorite Owl has already made a post to respond to your last ine before the edit.

My Character

Name: Aya Lynn Germain
Alias(s): Cosmos
Age: 19
Affiliations: N/A
Factions: Honestly just trying to get by
Description:


Small and lithe, Aya's 5' build betrays none of her strength – she has years' worth of lean muscle hidden under her clothes, built up from doing judo. Her long hair falls down her back, straight and dark brown. She's never been one for doing much with it. Aside from the occasional ponytail or braid, she's content to just let it rest where it falls. Her eyes are a deep brown color, and fairly weak. She's supposed to wear glasses, but she often finds them too much of a hassle to put on, and dislikes the idea of contacts.

Powers: Astral Projection
Aya is capable of extending her consciousness outside of her body. Invisible to others, her spirit form is capable of passing through solid objects or going into dangerous situations or environments that she otherwise would avoid. She can also create projections of other people if she's touching them, separating their consciousness from their bodies. She has to be touching them to bring them back for the astral plane, however. If Aya snaps back to her body without touching the other person’s projection, then the person will be stuck there until she snaps to the other side again to bring them back.
She’s still in the process of figuring out how her powers work and there are likely still things that she doesn’t know about them. She actively tries to avoid using them because she’s so nervous about the potential consequences she could face if they were discovered.

Strengths: Aya can keep up her projection indefinitely, and can hear and see everything around her, making her ideal for reconnaissance missions. So long as she keeps up her concentration, she can also sustain the projection up to half a mile from her physical location.
Weaknesses: When maintaining her projection, her physical body is more or less helpless. She's still conscious, and can talk to others, but it's difficult for her to move, and she is more or less oblivious to her surroundings. Due to her projection's intangible nature, she's also unable to influence her spiritual environment or talk to anyone through it.

Skills: Judo, fluent in English and Japanese, intelligent, in-depth knowledge about plants and flowers, adaptable
Equipment: N/A
Ranking: D

Brief History: Aya was just a quiet girl from Oahu before all of this. The discovery of her power had been terrifying to say the least, but keeping it hidden was an easy task. It’s not like her ability was particularly noteworthy anyway – she couldn’t breathe fire or heal herself or anything like that… thus life went on as usual for her. After graduating from high school, Aya left "the rock” for college in LA. She’s not exactly a big-city girl, but she got along fine. She kept her head down, did her studies, got a job… she was on track to graduate a year early, but then one night everything changed.
She was walking back to her apartment late in the evening from her job at the flower shop when a man attacked her. Aya isn't what someone would call defenseless. She was a blackbelt in judo, after all. But she'd never been in a situation where she'd actually had to rely on her skills, and a mix of shock and terror muddled her senses. Perhaps that's why when she flipped the man over her back, something unplanned happened. Her powers activated. In the next moment, Aya and the man were looking down at their unconscious bodies from the astral plane. Her eyes widened as she realized what happened. She looked up to see the man just as stupefied, his mouth opening and closing as he tried to form a response. Adrenaline still pumping through Aya's system, her mind was quick to jump to the worst possible outcome: there was no hiding that she was a meta, but luckily that title no longer came with the threat of jail time or execution. But a legal safety net wouldn't save her from this man's rage. Because he was enraged. She was good, and strong for her size, but he was huge and pissed.
And so, just as the man finally opened his mouth to shout and took his first step towards her, Aya snapped back into her body – without him. She of course then did the reasonable thing and sprinted all the way back to her apartment, leaving her would-be attacker's empty body in the alley. For the next several weeks, Aya would slip into the astral plane to see his spirit watching her – shouting at her, accusing her. And every time, Aya would jump back into her body the instant she saw him, shaking with fear and guilt. She couldn't just keep him there forever. But now he knew where she lived and she didn't know his name to report him and why hadn't she thought of all this before she'd fled?
Eventually, the situation was decided without her doing anything. One day she switched over to the other side to find it empty and hauntingly quiet. The man had died, and his spirit was gone.

how's this look?

Why does everyone make kids? I think there is only one or two characters past their twenties. Only a few more past their mid twenties.

@c3p-0h

Keep her the fuck away from Jackson, or bad, bad things will happen.

*Mu chuckles evilly in the background*

[c3p-0h]

@AcerRo she's a character from a previous rp where they had to be younger. i can age her up if that is preferred.

@Raijinslayer

…why? should i be concerned?…
:/

[AcerRo]

Just an observation on my end. Do what you want with the age, I'm just feeling father time over here.

Jackson isn't that bad a guy, but his split personality, Kuro, is a pervert.

@c3p-0h

JAckson's has multiple personalities and reality warping abilities. Mu is one of them and is very, very homicidal. Only reason he's not causing mayham is because he's locked up by jackson and can only come out once in a blue moon. But if she were to accidently bring Mu out, or Jackson for that matter. . . the end result will not be pretty.
