[OOC] A Certain Academic City

[Raineh Daze]

Don't post in the Character tab unless you've been accepted here first.

---

Academy City: a city with a population of 2.3 million, with a supermajority of students, almost all of whom are there to become espers. With so many students and so many powers, as well as research decades in advance of the outside world, it's no wonder that so many conflicting incidents happen even when people aren't trying to sneak in...

Rules:

• Try and keep your bios as spoiler-free as possible; just because things have happened doesn't mean they need to be spelled out in detail in the history section (only applies to canon characters)
• If you have an idea for an incident, PM it to me
• If something happens that contradicts the novels after volume 13, or some detail introduced then, go with it. This is going to be non-canon anyway.
• Once fighting starts, establish a post order. Please.
• You can have multiple characters, but only one of them's allowed to be a high level.

Okay, so time to write up a Certain Scientific Railgun.

[ViolentViolet]

So I was wondering if I was allowed to make a fifth level Technopath with minor electromagnetism for my first character?@Raineh Daze

[Raineh Daze]

Err... no, because that's basically Mikoto only slightly less dangerous. That, and we know the identities of the level 5's... well, mostly.

[ViolentViolet]

Oh right. It's including canons. . . . Erm. . . Misaka isn't a technopath though :p

Umm. . . .. *thinking of cool things to use*

[Raineh Daze]

By the definition of using psychic powers to interface with machines? She certainly is.

[VitaVitaAR]

Name: Misaka Mikoto
Age: 14
Appearance: Only My Railgun
Personality: Most people who do not personally know the Third-Ranked Level Five would naturally assume her to be someone high-class and refined. After all, she goes to Tokiwadai and has such a high level of power, right? This is perhaps why many people do not recognize her, as the real Misaka Mikoto is a friendly and relaxed person who doesn't have a problem talking to most people. She's also rather short-tempered, however, and possesses a sharp competitive streak that often results in excitement when she sees she's up against a challenge or a strong foe. She's also rather proud of herself, and at the same time quite childish. In spite of her tomboyish attitude, she loves childish, cute things, especially the children's mascot character Gekota. The frog draws her attention at all times. She is rather possessive of her Gekota merchandise. At the same time, Mikoto is tries to hide her love of such things, finding it rather embarrassing when people notice.
The Electric Princess of Tokiwadai has a heroic bent to her personality. When there's trouble, she tries to help out as best she can. However, she also seems to have trouble asking for help when she has problems. Thankfully for Mikoto and all her friends, recent events have lead to her remembering how willing to help they all are.
Level: Level 5, Third Ranked
Power: As the strongest Electromaster and Third-ranked Level Five Esper of Academy City, Mikoto naturally exerts a great deal of power and fine control in relation to her abilities.

• Offensively, the fact that she is referred to as "Railgun" is rather indicative of her capabilites. But before that, she has other options. She can fire electricity at her opponents, channel it through objects or her body, and general use electricity in a variety of different ways. Should this be ineffective, she can electromagnetically manipulate metal objects and use them as bludgeons or projectiles. If there is a high concentration of iron in the sand nearby, like there is in many areas of Academy City, she can draw it out and manipulate it to form a chainsaw-like offensive weapon.
  Of course, there is also Mikoto's Railgun. Replicating the effects of the actual weapon with her electromagnetic capabilities, Mikoto launches projectiles at Mach 3(at least). The usual ammunition is an arcade coin that disintergrates, giving the railgun limited range. However, any metal is theoretically an option, though larger objects are obviously more straining to use. Mikoto holds back against most opponents, for the obvious reason of not wanting to kill anyone.
• Defensively she can use metal to shield herself, and no electrical attack is of any use against her. She can also use metal objects to dodge by pulling herself towards them, or even stick to the walls or ceiling and walk on them as long as there is metal close enough to the surface. This allows her a high amount of maneuverability.
• As a utility, Mikoto is capable of hacking anything that is electronic. She can infiltrate databases through terminals, or shock commands into machines and robots. She can also remove herself from surveillance in such a manner.
• Mikoto's abilities are not without their downsides. She can tire out, and going overboard can cause blackouts in the surrounding area. She is also not physically very strong and has no idea how to fight beyond her Esper power, besides dodging and running. Unless you count vending machine kicks.

History: After participation in various incidents, including one that hit extremely close to home and one particularly recent one, Mikoto is still the kind of person who will help solve trouble wherever she can.

Backstory is vague because I'm avoiding spoilers in case people have not seen one thing or another. ^^;

[Raineh Daze]

Mikoto? Well... she's definitely not as bad as 1, 2, 4, or 5 in what they end up doing to any srot of plot or combat situation. Going to have to keep a close eye on her, though, and I've got something in mind that should stop her going off and trying to fix the plot on her own.

[VitaVitaAR]

Alright. ^^;

I've really wanted to play her for a while and all.

[RolePlayerRoxas]

• Name: Beatrix Alexandria Katherine Avalon
• Age: 13
• Appearance: "Yes, I'm a master of the violin, too."
• Personality: Incredibly haughty and entitled, with a fondness for flaunting her family's wealth. Beatrix managed to isolate herself as a stuck-up brat in an environment full of stuck-up brats. However, she totally didn't mind this growing up, and doesn't have any secret desires to have someone to talk to occasionally! Why would someone of her amazing societal status even need pointless things like friends?!
  When Beatrix is not showing off her awesomeness, she's indulging in her favourite pastimes; music, gaming or collecting plushies bigger than herself. These three things are her holy trinity, and bad-mouthing any of them is liable to have an angry little girl fuming at you. And that's terrible.
  For all of her bluster, though, Bea is easily coerced and fooled, capable of believing the sun was made of ice if you really needed her to think that. So not exactly a 'super genius', as she likes to claim. Pointing out her level 0 status is also kind of a sore spot. Try not to poke it.
• Level: 0
• Power: "Memory Killer", the ability to forget whatever she wants.
• History: A rich girl from a little place called Britain, though she's spent half of her life within Academy City by now. Having spent her days driving people off in one way or another, she's not done much of note. Attend a school she is clearly too smart for, live life as an obvious prodigy... at least she looks cute?

[Raineh Daze]

She's accepted.

[Chenzor]

I'll write one up in a moment then!

[Rin]

I was going to do another character but then I had the random idea to redo an old character. Maybe I'll make the new idea into a second character later, but for now...

• Name: Kazamatsuri Nadeshiko
• Age: 14
• Appearance: Whee. Nadeshiko is rather short.
• Personality: Incredibly shy and incredibly socially awkward, and tends to fall apart rather quickly when made the center of attention. However, the other main defining part of her personality is that she is a massive pervert. She loves cute girls, and if it weren't for her crippling lack of self-confidence and inability to properly socialize she would probably be a legendary skirtchaser. Instead, she focuses her perverted attentions on erotic anime, manga and visual novels, and peeping on the swim team when they're training. She does like less explicit media, but a lot of the time she only chooses to watch or read things because they have cute girls in them. As can be surmised from her obsession with cute girls, Nadeshiko is very, very gay. Despite her shyness, she's not exactly in the closet; it happens to be one of the few things she is very up-front about, and the first thing people tend to note about her after her shyness. One more important trait to note about Nadeshiko is her general laziness; if something doesn't interest her she's not likely to bother doing it, and since she tends to only show interest in things that involve cute girls, well... There's a lot of things that don't interest her.
• Level: 2
• Power: Psycho Print - Nadeshiko can project images from her mind onto paper (or really any flat surface). However, due to only being level 2 said images are incomplete and she usually has to fill in some of the blanks herself. Still, it makes it much easier to produce her doujinshi at a faster rate than would normally be possible for a single girl to achieve.
• History: Nadeshiko was so named in the hope that she would live up to the Japanese ideal of womanhood, but somewhere that went wrong. Instead of a confident, reliable, elegant young woman, she quickly turned into something of a shut-in. Her grades are average at best; she usually only just passes tests, and doesn't really excel at much, especially PE. However, her passion is art. She is a wonderful artist, able to expertly draw beautiful girls, beautiful girls kissing, beautiful girls sharing intimate moments... Mostly, she draws lesbian pornography. Her stories are well written enough, although it's clear that it's there mainly to set up for the main event. As far as her social life goes, it may as well not even exist; she has few if any friends due to her social awkwardness, leading her to be almost unable to talk at length with anyone other than her parents or older brother. Other than that, her life has been pretty average; her coming out wasn't much of a big deal, and she's mostly just kept to herself and her manga, anime and games.

[Raineh Daze]

Accepted.

Am I... Am I to late to take one of the imouto?

[Chenzor]

Name: Lizu Hashimoto
Age: 15
Appearance:

Appearance

Personality: Outgoing and physical. Likes to joke around and cause trouble and is never one to back down from a fight. She is quite protective of her friends however and would never see them left alone or hurt by anyone. Sees herself as something of a "big sister" and tends to surround herself with people who she can rely on, and who can rely on her. Incredibly dependent on attention.
Level: 4
Power: Air Bounce - Can cause combustion in the air in pinpointed locations, which means she can cause explosions in a range from tiny sparks to huge wall-blowing booms. Being at level three, however, she sometimes has a hard time controlling the explosion which may cause it to backfire. Her powers originate from being able to manipulate the oxygen in the air, which means she can also cause dust explosions or wind ripples. Doesn't matter if it's raining outside, if there is oxygen in the air she can combust it.
As she is adept at manipulating the atmosphere, she can also redirect the different gases in the air to increase or decrease the oxygen level in an area for example. This is what made her dub the power "air bounce", as she could bounce oxygen between explosions to increase their effect.
History: Somewhat of a "delinquent", she never focused much on her studies which means her power level is credited mostly to talent. Sure she attends school, and she passes most of the tests, but she tends to skip classes sometimes to hang out with other ruffians. This has made her somewhat of a disappointment to her parents who keep nagging her about if she studied, she could become a level five "for sure". She tends not to listen though and instead spends time on the streets.
Due to her tendencies of getting in fights, her parents decided that if they can't stop her they might as well help her protect herself so that she wont get sent to the hostpital... So they signed her up for kick-boxing classes, of which she protested all the way there only to love it afterwards. She spends more time there nowadays than out in the streets picking fights, so her parents see it as a kind of success from their part.
Now all that's left is for her to find some real friends and pick up her studies...

@GreenGoat

The Sisters' showing up would be problematic. Since that means more of them show up. :P

@Chenzor Three things: one, can we have a full name? Two... I'm not entirely sure that the ability to create wall-destroying explosions at will from atmospheric manipulation would have you at level 3 and not 4. Three: what, no fancy power name? D:

[Chenzor]

I'm still trying to think of a lastname Q_Q so bad at japanese names yo.
Chose level 3 because I didn't want to seem too powerfull. I could lower the level of the power if you want (or heighten her level to 4).
I'll think of a name when I've expanded a bit on the atmosphere manipulation thing :D just a moment...

[Raineh Daze]

Probably easier to up it to level 4 if you want stuff blowing up like that. There are more level 4's in the series than level 3's, anyway... XD

[VitaVitaAR]

I'm thinking about adding an OC character.

Who's not nearly as powerful as Mikoto so yeah. ^^;
