[OOC] Obsolete Angels

[IncredibleBee]

Name: Gein Gender: Male Character Type: Seraphim Appearance: A tall, bald humanoid with a slightly lean stature. However, his arms, chest, and legs all reveal mechanical components where his synthetic skin has worn away; you can see artificial muscle fibers, servos, and similar, covered up by thin armor plating to protect from falling debris and other construction hazards. The skin was a courtesy in the first place; as an industrial worker unit, appearances were considered secondary. Most of the body besides the head is almost entirely artificial, in order to withstand dangerous work conditions that would be considered unsafe for human workers. Gein's face actually contains softer, kinder features one might expect from an aristocrat. His hair is missing, and there's a serial number over his left eye, reading 87694. Additionally, his teeth are actually sculpted from metal. His only remaining clothing is a pair of dingy, torn up, bright orange work pants, and some boots. Career: Gein was an industrial welding unit. Skills: Gein's insides were replaced with various materials and tools required for welding. Inventively, some of this equipment is hooked into his heart, and feeds off his inherent angelic power to create fuel for his welding torches. Gein has several welding torches; one is a set of four hilt-like torches built directly into his ribs. These have a small but powerful fuel cell that replenish themselves when not in use, feeding off of his heart. Additionally, he has two less powerful ones built into the back of his wrists. All of these are capable of welding metal together, but also creating a plasma cutter. Supernatural Abilities: Heat Manipulation Personality: Purge. Bio: Gein was a member of the Seraphim whose only purpose was to purge everything impure from the Earth. Plants, animals, and even humanity itself had to burn. That was his only purpose. In some ways, he was as much a machine then as he is now. After being captured, lobotomized, and tossed in a garbage heap, his brain has slowly rebooted. His memories are slowly returning, and he is slowly becoming aware of his defeat. And he's about to become very angry. OPTIONAL Likes: Data not found. Dislikes: Data not found. Theme Song: Data not found. Other: Data not found. Reborn or whatever

@Reap Regarding the 'flight' supernatural ability, do they fly through magical means (eg, having a pair of pretty wings made that seem to have no anatomical-sense yet allow them to fly), or is it strictly physical (their wings do actually PHYSICALLY help them fly, similar to birds.) In other words, if it were the latter, a flight-based angel would be practically useless should his or her wings be torn apart. But if an angel's wings were fundamentally composed of mere spiritual matter, then nothing can disrupt their flight unceremoniously while they are airborne. EDIT: Honestly I'd prefer the idea of proper, physical wings, because it makes the angels' downfall much more believable. EDIT EDIT: Or, we could have both types, for the sake of flexibility and variety.

@Silverlight138

Physical. ^^ Those wings could be augmented by machinery too

[ReaptheMusic]

@IncredibleBee I refuse to accept you and I refuse to tell you why.

[IncredibleBee]

3. To prove you have read the rules, put 'REBORN' at the end of your CS in bold. I have the right to not allow you into the rp without telling you why if I see you haven't added this (and I expect no one else to tell them why)

@ReaptheMusic

Haha, I found it.

[Syben]

@IncredibleBee If I may. I am but a wandering stranger. You're character sheet is hard to look at, as it is lacking some much needed line breaks. That being said, I would deny you just by the disparaging line on your cs, as rule 3 was very clear, and there is no need to actually, physically put attitude into a character sheet. Also, how exactly does one have the personality of 'purge'? Last I checked, 'purge' was not a personality trait.

[ReaptheMusic]

<Snipped quote by ReaptheMusic> Haha, I found it.

@IncredibleBee

Yes, and I'm afraid sassing me is not a good way to get into this rp at all. Seeing as how you immediately put up a show of defiance, I have no interest in having you here. Have a nice day.

[Silverlight138]

My CS has been completed. Do refer to page 1. EDIT: On second thoughts, allow me to make some slight edits. EDIT again: Okay, now I'm done. I feel like there are gonna be questions rocketing my way @.@ Oh dear. I spent quite a bit of time tossing the turning the viability and realistic-ness of my CS over in my head, so hopefully I don't have to deal with issues like 'mary stu' or 'plain illogical nonsense'. XD ps: I really hate my time zone. It's like in the day for me when y'all are sleeping, so the most common problem I've always been dealing with throughout my RP experience is waking up in the morning to find that I have to catch up on a whole loada crap T_T

[PaulHaynek]

Oooh, I'm interested. Question, can one play more than one character? (One revolutionary and one military, hehehe.)

@Silverlight138

Don't worry about it. We go by the two-post rule for when the IC is up, BUT! If you feel left behind I can take it down to one post per day, that way everyone has a chance to catch up! ^^

@PaulHaynek

Certainly given your CS is up to my standards! Have at it :3

[ReaptheMusic]

@Silverlight138 Okay so I can't go over all your stuff on your CS because I'm about to get to class, but in the meantime, if you could provide a photo of what Eldvestia (the name should be shortened to the convenience of those she worked for) of her current state? Also, PLEASE provide the five word personality description. It's five words BECAUSE it will shine in the rp, declining to give me that small bit is almost pointless.

@ReaptheMusic

To answer your first request, no I wasn't able to find an adequate picture to summarize how she looks like in her current state. Thus, to make up for that, I provided lengthy descriptions in my character sheet. Regarding the latter part of your msg, I sort of sneaked in her personality description under bio. But if you'd prefer it, then yes, sure, I can input something under personality. Also, for the sake of everyone's convenience, I'll rename her Zaneria.

[pure493]

The setting for this RP is interesting! I'll be posting something up soon.

<Snipped quote by Mr_pink> That depends, what age is he now?

@ReaptheMusic

Let's go with 42

@Silverlight138

You seem to miss the point of the name. You can keep her original name, just shorten it with a nickname into something that citizens wouldn't feel they were tripping over when they said it, like 'Eldvi' or something. I don't care. I want the personality where it belongs, in the personality tab. Your first picture shows her original self and hides a lot of her features. With her new appearance, those would be showing. You can keep your description of what she looks like (Please move that under 'appearance' as well instead of where you currently have it) but have another photo of what she looks like now, just as a reference of what to go off of. There is no description of hair or eyes so I really don't have any idea of what she truly looks like, which is why I implore you, for the last time, for a photo of her without her garb. It's not difficult to follow simple directions, and put things in their proper place. Right now you're showing me you can't follow basic instructions. Fix this as soon as you can. I will go over your CS in depth later.

<Snipped quote by ReaptheMusic> Let's go with 42

@Mr_pink

He would be 22 then when the angels descended and have a pretty good opinion on how quickly the world shifted around him. (it was only twenty years ago, not a long time for Earth to become the highly futuristic and developed New Society it is today)

[Silverlight138]

Okay, never mind, I shall withdraw from this RP. I don't feel like I'll be having much fun with all these analing, Nazi-ing and OCD-ing being in the way. I don't want to spend the next few weeks scrutinizing and fretting over every goddamn post I make. It also helps to be civil and to show respect to your fellow RPers, GM, or not, if you expect the same. I could spend the next post attempting to justify why I organized the CS the way I did, but I really don't want to blow this up. So, have a nice day, and enjoy the RP. No hard feelings. I respect the way you do things, but I'm just not agreeable with your style. So let's agree to disagree. Just to let you know, I did not half-ass the CS. I spent the entire day at work perfecting it, scrutinizing it, ecetera. It's too bad I won't get to be playing her, but that's alright. It would have been nice if you were patient and understanding with your critiques, because at least, the effort poured into character sheets deserve their due respect.

[Mr_pink]

Cool, I'll get something about it into my cs later on tonight

[pure493]

Name: Ethan Everux Gender: Male Character Type: Human; Not a full citizen but works for Desium Corp. Appearance:

Picture

Ethan is a blond, caucasian male who is 5'11. His eyes are a dark brown. His hair is short and often dirty from the residue in the repairshop. On the job he wears a wifebeater, loose trousers, and an old set of military boots he bought from the local exchange store. The work gloves he uses are a size too big for his hands. When he is off-work he typically switches to a set of more fashionable clothes. He enjoys wearing tight-fitting blue-jeans or tan-chinos complimented by a button-up shirt with rolled sleeves. Career: Mechanic for Desium Corp. Skills: Technical Knowledge of Desium Corp. Goods: Ethan is extremely knowledgable on most products that come from the Desium Corp. which are pretty much all the products in the world. He gets this knowledge from his daily routine which consists of receiving faulty goods and repairing them to be refurbished or returned. He has worked with anything from guns, cars, computers, musical instruments, portable stoves, and even some Cybergels. If Desium Corp. makes it then Ethan can identify it, figure out how to fix it, and have a relatively good idea of how it works. Supernatural Abilities: N/A Personality: Messy, Loud-mouth, Cheerful, Idealist, Sympathetic Bio: Ethan was born a few years before the arrival of the "demons" in the city of Hong Kong. He can trace his genealogy back to the first British colonists of the 19th Century. His mother is an english teacher for the local school. He never knew his father and his mother never spoke of him. Ethan and his mother lived in a small two room apartment in the old highrises of the city. Always the curious child he eagerly explored the mostly abandoned highrise. He would spend his childhood with the local street urchins walking up the stairs and exploring abandoned rooms. By the time he was fifteen he began to explore the city itself on his own. Because his mother was often busy teaching, Ethan had the freedom to go where he pleased when he pleased. One day he saw a media outlet from the Desium Corp. on the lives of citizens on a large digital screen. Ethan was bewitched by the sight of the lives of those privelaged people. The clean air, clean water, and most importantly the Cyborgels. The mechanical marvels resembled the sky horrors that supposedly brought death and destruction when Ethan was young, but they were nothing like them. They brought capabilities that improved the lives of any human that had one. Everything was improved by having a cyborgel. He dreamed of living the lives of those people in that commercial. Coming from a household with a meager income, becoming a citizen became his goal. His new goal caused a rift between him and his mother, who had strong and harsh feelings towards Desium Corp. The two would fight about this nonstop until Ethan turned eighteen and ran from his home. Eventually, he found transportation to one of the new cities. Stepping into the employment center he immediately applied for a job, intent on climbing the social ladder and becoming a full citizen. He was given a test, he took it, and was emplaced in the Services Division, as a mechanic. It was a decision that Ethan came to have conflicted feelings about. His boss was a fat old administrator who sits on his desk napping. Hours were long and the work was grueling. Part orders were always delayed so items would never be fixed on time, which reflected poorly on Ethan's records and took him further from his dream. However, he found that he had a knack for repairing damaged items and jerry-rigging things to work. He loved working with any and all products from the Desium Corp. Each damaged product was a complex puzzle that appealed to his need to solve problems. In the mornings he would go out to the nearby junkyards to recover anything useful, and would work all afternoon, with a smile, fixing things. Sometimes he would even receive damaged Cyborgels. He would shake and jump in excitement with every opportunity he got to work with one. He studied their strange organic-metal biology. Questions like "How do they work?" "What makes them move?" spun in his mind. Every chance he got to work on the Cyborgel he would burn the midnight oil, learning as much as he could out of the mechanical marvel, while trying to repair its fault. Although he was still far from his dream of living the life of a full citizen, Ethan found fulfillment in the present as a mechanic.

@Silverlight138

If you choose to give up after one critique, then I suppose you simply didn't want to be apart of this rp bad enough. The critique given to Scarlett was far harsher than it was to you. That being said, I wish you the best. Have a nice day. @pure493 I like him a lot. You don't have to add this to your CS but I'm just curious before I accept him. Why, specifically, does he dislike Mechangels?

[pure493]

Ethan believes that Mechangels are a step backwards in progress. The biggest appeal Cyborangels have to Ethan is their unique techno-organic composition, and that once they are made they will continue to function and serve. He sees a story with each Cyborangel that he works on. Every small notch, damaged component, and broken piece tells a part of its tale and Ethan feels good knowing that he is repairing something that will go out to do great things. He almost thinks of them as individuals without being aware of it. Mechangels on the other hand, feel cold and lifeless to Ethan. Whenever they arrive at his shop they are branded obsolete because a new model pops up. The old ones are immediately decommissioned (cannibalized for parts) when he receives them. Ethan thinks there is no real story to be told in a mechangel. They are a simple cog in a machine. He probably wouldn't have cared unless it was for the fact that Mechangels are gradually replacing Cyborangels.

Alright then, he's accepted ^^ Go ahead and put him in the characters tab.
