[OOC] Aphorism: Skyline Institute

[IceSolstice]

@Scarifar

Don't worry, take all the time you need. It is always possible for people to join the RP in progress (transfer students and all that). :)

[Blitz]

Would you like me to start my posts with [Kylie] even though I only have one character?

[IceSolstice]

@Blitz

I see that you already posted. XD But yeah, feel free. You can post whenever, regardless of how many characters you have. :) I'll be starting up the classroom scenario where your character gets their word once a good majority of people have made their first post.

[Blitz]

Sorry, I got a little too excited! ^^; But okay, thanks! :)

[IceSolstice]

It's perfectly fine to be excited--I'm pretty excited too. XD Especially for how all the characters will deal with the blights that Mattie_ and I cooked up (no character is safe).

[ShadowRaeper]

@IceSolstice
I shall change it :) and sorry for the grammar mistakes... English isn't my main languedge and it was late last night so I wasn't really paying attention to my english xD

[IceSolstice]

@ShadowRaeper

That's fine. Thanks for letting me know though. I'll be looking forward to seeing your edits. :)

(It's also pretty late where I live so I might have to review your changes when I wake up.)

[IceSolstice]

Posted the beginning of a classroom scenario since some of you didn't want to start outside of the school. >.>

The day starts at 10 am right, in your most recent post, you say 10 am in the first part and 10 pm in the second part. Just a little confused

[Scarifar]

Name: Alexander Lee

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearance

Personality: Alexander is quite intelligent, being able to make calculations in his mind very quickly. He is particularly well versed in the fields of mathematics and physics. He is generally a well-mannered guy, and will be friendly to most people he meets. However, it may still be best to stay on his good side. You may not want to know what happens if you don't.

History: Alexander is the firstborn child of 3 children, the other two being twin sisters. Alexander spends his time dealing with the annoyances of younger siblings while still working to achieve high marks in school. Fortunately for him, his hard work (and the fact that he could see the island) got him rewarded with an acceptance into Skyline Institute. With an offer to get any job he wanted after he graduated, and only after 1 year as well, how could he miss the opportunity?

Nationality: Chinese

Word: Vector. Alexander is capable of altering the direction and magnitude of objects, as well as applying more or less force onto objects. For example, someone that threw a rock at Alexander would find their own rock launched back at them just before it reached Alexander. As an unintended side effect, this also grants Alexander control over certain disease-carrying organisms, such as mosquitoes and ticks.

Word Range: 5 ft.

Word Location: Left shoulder.

@Scarifar

Accepted--vector is an pretty nice word. It'll definitely be interesting to see what your character does with it. :)

Alexander's class assignment is 4.

@Lone_Eagle21

Yeah. 10 a.m. I wrote one of the characters really late at night so...yeah.

*would like to claim the word Doppelganger or Mimic* *is going out for a little while and works tomorrow*

Is there actually still space? just to do sure?

[IceSolstice]

@ViolentViolet

Always more space for people who want to join. :) And sure, you can claim those words.

[ViolentViolet]

@IceSolstice
I'll probably go with Doppelganger for my first character.

Oh and are Fade and Undying valid words?

[IceSolstice]

@ViolentViolet

Yup, both are valid words. Fade may require a much shorter range limit though since it could be used to instantly kill people (normal range limit is eyesight radius). Feel free to make as many characters as you want. :D

[ViolentViolet]

@IceSolstice
Well I was thinking Fade as more of a power that allows the character to become transparent and untouchable. Undying would center around the characters inability to die and Doppelganger would allow the character to become someone; from appearance t memories to thoughts, right down to using their word. It would be limited to being able to touch the person of course, though I would be open to discussing limitations.

[IceSolstice]

@ViolentViolet

The catch is, words have all the abilities of their definitions (found on http://dictionary.reference.com/). So while maybe your character will be using it primarily to become transparent or untouchable, your character is capable of using it otherwise. In addition, words like doppelganger will not allow characters who become others to use their words (must be in place or RP will be a wreck). Words cannot interact directly with other words, so a word like 'disappear' would not be able to erase someone's word power. And a word like 'change' would not allow the character to use someone else's word if they become that person. Although, looking at the definitions for doopelganger and mimic, you might be better off using mimic since doppelganger is only capable or creating "a ghostly double or counterpart of a living person" (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/doppelganger vs. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mimic?s=t). The only limitation on fade is that the range of which you use it directly on other people would be reduced.

[ShadowRaeper]

Name: Ray "Spike" Crassins
Age (only 14-18): 16
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Spike

Personality: Lazy, open minded, curious. These three personality traits are the most seen with Spike, although he has a few more, whom fall to the background as he mostly goes his own way.

History:

Born from a American father and a Japanese mother, Ray was more or less an outsider in Japan. Although it didn't bother him much. As his father tried to push him into the direction he wanted, his mother on the other hand told Ray to follow his own dreams and be who he wanted to be.
With this a struggle between his mother and father broke out, after a few serious fights and didn't end well. Within the fight, his father had grabbed his mother, and as she tried to get away from him, tripped and bashed her head against the coffee table. His father got arrested a few days later, questioned and released again. Although Ray didn't wanted to do anything with him anymore, and tried to get away as far as possible from him! With this, Ray applied to Skyline in the hopes of never returning to him again!

Nationality:

Word: Blood: The ability to manipulate his own blood and that of others, to the point of turning the blood into weapons.
He also can change the temperament of others, change their bloodflow faster or even to a certain speed that the entire bloodflow stops, causing an hartattack.
Ray can also manipulate and create sap and juices of plants, although these aren't used for battlepurpose.

The downside towards this ability is the fact that a human body can only lose a certain amount of blood, if Ray dries out his body, or those of others, he can seriously injure himself or others, even taking their lives if he wished.

Word Range: 6 meters.
Word Location: Right arm.

Other (optional):
Ray is a heavy smoker.
Once his power activates, Ray will start wearing two rings, one on both hands.

@ShadowRaeper

I changed it, even adjusted the minor grammar mistakes you pointed out! :)
There might come a point where I even add a few more abbilities, but for now I only added one extra. Although, if this is alright with you ofcourse! :)

[IceSolstice]

@ShadowRaeper

Accepted, but please add in the other abilities into his app as soon as possible. The word section needs to list everything the word is capable of not just for the RPer's own understanding, but because there are other characters (two, as of right now) that are capable of controlling others. And while it is my responsibility to check all the words for their definitions, it is not other people's--so I require every app to have all of their word abilities listed out.
However, listing an ability of the word doesn't mean that the character will know that he or she can use it. Especially the more obscure definitions. So for your character, maybe Spike knows how to create/manipulate blood and create weapons with them, but maybe he doesn't know he can also create/manipulate plant sap or juices. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings. :)

Spike's class assignment is Class 2.

[Scarifar]

Where did everyone go?
