[OOC] Verthaven: A Bloody Paradise [Completed]

[Deadnaut]

If we still need one more NEST agent to fill out the Five Man Band, I was actually leaning towards making a NEST agent, a good ol' gunman to round out the cast.

[Raijinslayer]

@Mr Allen J Cool, I promise that I won't abuse the hell out of it. Was planning on doing the CS's today(or at least one of them) but I'm currently stuck on my 2DS for posting right now, where the character limit is 4000 characters or so. Enough for a decent sized post, but not so much for making a CS with any true detail.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

I'll only be allowing a few more NEST Agents... because we have a surprising amount of them.

And I updated Lihua and Michelle's opinions on their fellow NEST Agents. In fact, we could work out some preexisting relationships with any of my characters. Might be fun.

[Maxx]

Updated Sam's dynamics.

So, after careful deliberation, I have decided to run my old character Carole as well as Plague (who I'm still working on). For those who don't know, Carole is the daughter of a multimillionaire nightclub owner from Brazil. As such, she's kind of a spoiled brat.

@Maxx

biiiiiiiitch

It's because I said to use her.

And oh shit I forgot about Rafael.

[Maxx]

It totally is. I had to please my senpai.

Everybody hates Rafael.

Question: Does everyone have to go through the Academy Program?
- If so how old, and what ages they are in for?
- If not why would a person be an exception?

@FiroIV

No one has to go through the Academy program (Thx for reminding me, so I could make the edits). It's all optional. And usually kids can attend an academy when they're eight, until they're twenty something.

[Angel Eyes]

It has been forever since I have done a meta human based RP. And I'm always seeing you making them, but never took the leap, even-though this is actually my favorite genre. Still accepting?

Yay more peeps.

So here is my little child who will bring you all pain. Meet Plague.

PLAGUE

Basic Information
Name:

Darrick Trenton

Nickname/Alias/Etc:

Plague

Gender:

male

Age:

25

Height:

5’10”

Weight:

130 lbs

Home District:

Union Point Hills

Appearance

Hair Color:

Bald

Eye Color:

Bright Green

Ethnicity:

Ukrainian/English

Physical Appearance:

Plague looks generally sickly. Tall and extremely thin, Plague looks like someone who spends a lot of time in the hospital. His skin is sickly pale with a touch of yellow, and his skin is stretched so tightly on his torso that his bones show through. His arms and legs are thin and bony as well. He is quite obviously malnourished. There is a large black tattoo of the biohazard flower on Plague’s right shoulder, and a tattoo of a caduceus on the left side of his back. Plague’s skin is almost constantly covered in sweat, and occasionally sickly-looking boils will appear sparsely on his back and sides.
Plague’s head is round and bald, with not a strand of hair on it. He has rather large ears and a crooked nose. His teeth are awful; crooked, chipped, and yellowed. His face has a yellowed pallor to it, and there are bags under his eyes. The only intense part of his face are his eyes, which are intense and bloodshot. In every other way, he is pretty much indistinguishable from a zombie. The inefficiency of his respiratory system rivals that of Darth Vader, and Plague is almost constantly heard wheezing. His voice is weak and strained, like it causes him pain to speak. He walks with a narrow gait and his shoulders sagged.

Attire:

Ghetto. Plague generally wears a white wife-beater with a pair of sagging cargo shorts. All of his clothing hangs loosely from his body. He wears a grey painter’s mask on his face (basically a gas mask without the eye protection). The mask contains a microphone and a small amplifier, making Plague’s weak voice sound louder. He can turn the volume of this up and down via a button on the knob on the underside of his mask, allowing him to “yell”. Plague also wears a pair of blue latex gloves on his hands until he goes into battle (when the gloves come off). He carries two vials of Fiend mutagen with him.

Personality

Innate & Outward Personality:

Cynical and misanthropic, Plague is not a guy who you’d want at your party. He generally exists in a state of irritation, and acts as if all situations annoy him equally. He prefers to keep to himself as opposed to being with a group, but “antisocial” isn’t quite as accurate as “elitist”. Plague generally believes that he’s better than everyone else in most rooms that he finds himself in. Because he’s a lieutenant of the Fiends (which he does solely because the pay is good), the people who are generally around Plague drive him absolutely crazy. He himself doesn’t take drugs like the others, and so he is the one stuck watching over the crazies as they tear each other apart. Not only that, but Plague is more-or-less the most intelligent Fiend, so intelligent that he generally looks down on those less-intelligent than he as inferior. If he were in an environment more catering to his intellectual needs, he’d probably be a tad less unpleasant.
As a leader, Plague is efficient but risk-taking. While Fiends under his command have the highest success rate of completing a task, they also have the highest mortality rate of all Fiends. This is because, quite frankly, Plague doesn’t care if they die or not. Once upon a time he did, but after you watch enough drug-crazed burnouts bite the dust, it becomes much easier to send them to their death.

Hobbies/Interests:

Outside of being a maniacal warlord, Plague’s hobbies include reading, listening to classical music, and occasionally playing video games. Though his home isn’t exactly in the best neighborhood, Plague keeps a fairly large library in his bedroom. He enjoys biographies of famous biologists as well as science fiction novels. He enjoys animals, and has two pet rats named Hershey and Chase.

Skills/Talents:

Not many. Being sick all of your life tends to make you kind of a shut-in. The one thing Plague has going for him is his intelligence. He’s quite smart, and probably knows as much about biology as your average doctor. He is absolutely abysmal at hand-to-hand combat.

“You make me sick.”

History/Bio:

Darrick was born in Baltimore City. From the moment of his birth, he was sick. His mother died shortly after giving birth to him, due unfortunately to some kind of bacterial infection, and his father fell ill with the disease not long later. Due to the fact that Darrick seemed to have some sort of incurable disease, he spent most of his childhood at a children’s hospital, where he was unsuccessfully treated. He nearly died several times after being injected with antibiotics, and when it was discovered that Darrick was allergic to every known antibiotic, attempts to cure him were basically abandoned. Due to his highly-infectious nature, he was often quarantined, and when he would come to school with a surgical mask and gloves on, he didn’t exactly make friends. All through school, he was bullied and beat up.
Then at age twelve, somebody went too far. Darrick went to a private middle school, and there was one particular boy named Chuck who simply would not leave Darrick alone. Every day, he would make fun of the poor sickly child, and he pulled the meanest pranks on them. Then one day, the boy took Darrick’s lunch money and attempted to drown him in a fountain. As Darrick struggled to get away, a giant bacteriophage appeared and attacked Chuck, tearing his face up. The boy was hospitalized with a bad case of a little-known bacterial disease and died. Darrick’s family moved to Black Fall and was homeschooled for two years. It was then that he was offered admission to Sparrowdale Academy in Nebraska.
At Sparrowdale, Darrick felt more at home than he did anywhere else. Here, people understood the pain that his power gave him and helped to make it better. Unfortunately, Sparrowdale Academy was a bit of a failure, and the school was abandoned with a few people still inside. Darrick was one of them, and while he escaped the monsters haunting the school, some of his friends did not (for the record, this was part of the plot of an old rp Allen and I were in on another site). Plague had finished high school before the disaster, though, so he finished his education at Academy 16 in Virginia. Here, he received a BS in Biology, hoping to make it into medical school and become an infectious disease specialist. Unfortunately, that’s when his accident happened.
It happened that one night, Darrick was at a party and got completely trashed. He somehow got out of the apartment and began to wander the halls, drunk out of his mind. His gloves had gotten taken off, and as he walked everything he touched got a little coating of disease on them. He walked to a courtyard, where a professor saw him and attempted to take him to the dean of discipline. Drunk Darrick didn’t appreciate that, and after a bit of a tussle, he summoned several phages, who attacked the professor. The professor in question died a week later of said bacterial illness, and twelve other people in the dorms were infected. Two died. Darrick got away and was hunted down by authorities for months. He eventually wound up in Verthaven, where, with nowhere to go, he joined the Fiends. His intelligence and power quickly made him a force to be reckoned with, and he became one of the six lieutenants.

Abilities

Power Class:

Super-System Biological

Power:

Disease manipulation Plague is a carrier of a rare and deadly bacterial disease. He was born with it, and it permeates every part of his body, from his breath to his blood to his skin. Simply touching Plague gives you a mild chance of becoming ill (if you don’t sanitize and shit). The disease has the following effects:
-nasal congestion
-malaise (generally feeling really shitty)
-vertigo
-nausea
-vomiting
-fever
-diarrhea
-headaches
-severe back pain
-abdominal pain
-Acute respiratory distress
-Difficulty breathing
-Appearance of small, painful boils on the skin which make the skin feel as if it is burning
This disease is bacterial, and can be extremely deadly if not properly treated. While Plague’s breath and contact will spread the disease, he has a secondary (and much more dangerous) mode of infection; the phages. Plague can synthesize giant bacteriophages, about 18-inches tall. For those who don’t know, a bacteriophage is a virus which generally looks like this. The phages have the capability to fly through unknown means, and obey only Plague. They are composed primarily of calcium and iron, with a glasslike head. When attacking a target, the phages will slash with their claw-like appendages and attempt to get a strong hold onto a target’s body. Once they get a grip, the phages use a sharp, needle-like appendage which extends from their base to inject a concentrated dose of the disease into a target. The phages’ disease is much more dangerous than Plague’s touch is, as the combination of the sheer dosage and special enzymes present make the disease act much faster. While a victim of Plague’s touch will fall ill in maybe twenty-four hours, victims of the phages feel the effects in minutes.

Limits:

Plague can only make up to eight phages at one time, only up to two at a time, and making them takes up a lot of energy. The phages themselves are fairly frail, and can be easily killed with a hard enough blow to the capsid (head) or a bullet. If a phages’ capsid is broken, the infected fluid on the inside of it escapes quickly and the phage becomes incapable of infecting targets.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks:

Plague is sick. While he’s not as bad-off as his victims, Plague has a dose of his own disease inside of him, and it makes it so that he is constantly sick. He is allergic to every known antibiotic and antiseptics burn his skin. While eating a healthy diet can help Plague lessen his symptoms, he’s never deprived of them, and he lives his life with a fever, general feeling of sickness, and bad respiratory problems. Plague has essentially no endurance whatsoever, is terrible in hand-to-hand combat, and is very frail due to his sickliness. Plague’s bones are rather brittle since he was so sick during his development, and so if someone is able to get up close with him, they can easily take him down in a few punches.

As far as the disease itself goes, it is treatable. As it is a bacterial infection, it can be treated and cured using antibiotics. It is a rather vicious disease and is immune to a few antibiotics (ampicillin and amoxicillin), but if given proper medical care the death rate is relatively low.

Aleksander Volkov, The Crazy Russian

Basic Information

Name:

Aleksander Volkov

Nickname/Alias/Etc:

The Crazy Russian, The Scarlet Bear, Blood Diamond

Gender:

Male

Age:

42

Height:

6'5

Weight:

300 pounds

Home District:

Appearance

Hair Color:

Variable, default red

Eye Color:

Variable, default red

Ethnicity:

Russian

Physical Appearance:

Standing at 6'5, Alek always stood out in a crowd, even more so with his huge muscular frame, piercing light blue eyes, and platinum blonde hair. Even the few people who are taller than him can admit that he has a presence about him that makes people tend to feel a little bit smaller. His skin was white as one could be and covered with a few scars here and there, testament to his experiences on the field and in his rather active youth.

After he awakened his abilities as a Meta-human, however, he became even more intimidating to some people . . . and just a bit ridiculous to others. His skin has taken on a bit of a crimson coloration, his hair and eyes turned scarlet, then began to change color according to his mood. He also is covered with a variety of ugly scarring across his body from nearly Ashing, and suffers from a chronic case of having no right arm. Oh, and his left eye and heart had to be replaced with mechanical substitutes as well, though he chose to replace by him forming a crystalline prosthetic instead of a metal one because it seemed more practical for him and as a good way to help him develop his powers.

Attire:

Optional

Personality

Innate & Outward Personality:

Alek is not a man of subtlety, he's about the most blunt and brutally honest guy you could ever meet. He's never afraid to speak his mind, no matter who he's talking to, though he does now that theirnare times to speak out and times when things can be saved for later. He never lies about anything, but that doesn't mean he can't keep a secret, quite the opposite in fact, he's one of the best people to tell a secret to. Once he makes a promise on something, their are very few forces on this green earth that can get him to break it.

Also, due to events in his past, he can be a tad bit over-protective, especially whennit comes to his Daughter Yvonne, whose powers would make her a very, very tempting target for organizations such as the Hands of Science. Those same issues of his past have also made it so he doubts his ability to protect those closest too him. While around others, he's a boisterous, confident, blunt as a hammer man that seems to exude nothing but good will towards everyone, in reality he's a man plagued by self-doubt, often falling into depression when he's by himself.

Hobbies/Interests:

Has taken up an interest in jewelry since acquiring his powers and runs a small shop in Bazaar Riveria in his off-time. He's also enjoys hunting, fishing, and coaching the wrestling team at his daughter's school. He's also a bit of a critic when it comes to alcohol, wine specifically, but that doesn't mean he can't have fun getting roaring drunk with some of his work buddies whenever the time comes. He's not an alcoholic, but he always tries to get really drunk whenever they do go out, and any damages he makes can kinda be paid for by the damages since he grows diamonds and what not.

Skills/Talents:

He's a highly skilled soldier, able to expertly wield any standard firearms and is a quick enough learner to pick up on other one. His hand to hand skills are good, just not as good, but he more than makes up for it with his raw strength and determination. Add his powers into the mix, and in hardly even matters if he's a skilled fighter or not in most cases. He's more skilled in wrestling, though, so if he gets his hands on you, you're likely as good as gone.

For non combat related things, he's good at making Jewelry and actually finds it calming. In fact, the majority of gifts he gives to people, regardless of gender, tends to be hand-made jewelry or sculptures with jewels in them, as he does a fair bit of metal work as well. More stuff may come later; usually come up with these kinds of things in the IC

Quote(s):

"IF you want to fight, spar, or need something smashed to pieces, I'm your guy. If you want to discuss the literary value of Shakespear or Twilight, find someone else."

History/Bio:

Aleksander's life before NEST wasn't really that eventful. His parents were Native-born Russian's who moved to America for a better life, his father's skill with computers making the Silicon Valley the perfect place for him to find work. As time passed, life went on as normal could be. Well, except for when he got into fights.

Aleksander could never keep himself out of trouble, always getting into fights since he was little, with a will of iron and a heart of gold, if he saw someone getting picked pom, he'd be the first one to put the bully in their place, or at least he'd try to. In his younger years, he was a rather small guy, with barely any muscle or strength to call his own. He was given the title 'Chihuahua' because he was all bark and no bit. Despite this, and all the bully he received because of his actions, he never once broke down, never once let the bullies see him sweat. He began to work out once he hit his teens, training as hard as he could so that he could protect those who couldn't protect themselves.

Around the time he hit high school is when he hit his first growth spurt, going from 5'2 to 5'9 with in the first year, and then reaching his current height in his second. This combined with the body he had been pushing to the limit with intense training made it so that he now had plenty of bark to back up his bite. Soon bullies stop being a problem, and while he should've felt overjoyed by this achievement, he only felt a bittersweet emptiness now. His role as a protect was over, and he felt rather purposeless. HE then began to think on his future, what he wanted to do with his life and what kind of legacy he wanted to leave behind. The answer came to him in a rather interesting way, as he found his school held hostage one day by a drugged up Meta.

They had had corrosive powers and had threatened to melt the whole school unless some insane demands were met. However, riding in to the recuse came a team of NEST agents, both Meta-Human and normal people, who world together to bring the man down. That singular moment is what sent him on his path forever more. As soon as he was eligible, he signed up to be an NEST academy, eager to prove himself worthy and help people. HE soon proved himself to be an excellent agent, with his only struggle being in his mental facilities. He wasn't dumb, not in the slightest, but his straightforward way of thinking made some situations rather difficult for him to think through in the way NEST wanted.

In the end, he passed at the age of ?? with some reservations and a note for him to be kept away from more diplomatic and subtle operations until he could get a handle on that. He was apart of the force for 5 years, working with a team consisting of mostly meta, when the event happened. It was supposed to be a simple mission, to go in and take out a known Meta-crimnal in his hideout, but somehow the man had gotten wind of the attack and had called in backup in the form of two powerful meta-humans. The fight had been intense, ending with half of Alek's squad dying and the enemy only losing on of their own and suffering moderate wounds themselves. They had been pinned down in an area when Alek, convinced he was about to die, turned to his comrades and told them to make a run for it. He then ran out into the open and open fired on the enemy.

He was able to take them by surprise, killing the weaker one with a battery of shots to the chest, but the other was made of sterner stuff, able to take the damage with ease and charged at Alek. Knowing this was probably going to be the way he died, Alek decided to go out fighting, tossing the gins aside and charging the man with a bestial roar. It was in the heat of the moment, with his heart racing, adrenaline pumping, and synapses firing, that he felt a surge of power flow through his system, followed by a strange cracking sound. He bull rushed the guy and felt his blows hammer down onto his back, but they felt weakened somehow. Not questioning it, he lifted the meta up and threw them against a wall, before charging at them again. And so the fight would continue on, a viscous fist fight that would seem to go on forever. Whatever was keeping Alek alive, and letting him hurt the meta, it wasn't enough. He could feel himself being beaten back, feel his grip on his mind fading.

With one last thought, he called upon every last shred of power he could reach and unleashed it with a deafening yell. And then he woke up in a hospital bed, covered in strange scars, missing an arm, a leg, and feeling a strange sensation in his chest. What had happened was that he'd generated a massive amount of crystals around him, shooting out of the warehouse and ripping his opponent to shreds, a very impressive feet, but it should've Ash'd him right then and there. The only reason he survived, however, is because his entire body had been crystalized, keeping it perfectly preserved in that moment. Over the course of a year, NExt had slowly excavated around him, then brought him over to the head quarters. A month after that, he slowly came out of it and was immediately rushed over to the nearest medical facility.

They were able to just barely save him from asking, making him one of the lucky 4 percent, but he bares scars all over his chest, back, legs, and remaining arm from the encounter. Most people probably would've retired after such an event, especially when they'd lost so much of themselves and narrowly avoided death, but the very first thing that Alek said after being told this was,"Well then, when's the earliest I can get back to work. I'm not dead yet, and I certainly don't plan on letting a little think like this stop me from protecting the good people of the world. Besides, at least I didn't get any scars on my face, it's ugly enough as is."

Abilities

Power Class:

Elemental: Super System

Power:

Crystal Manipulation:Alek can generate and manipulate constructs made of a specialized Diamond-like crystal. His main use for this ability is to form an extremely durable and resilient layer of it around his body, making a flexible layer of armor on him that can protect him from some of the worst attacks out there. The armor can be thickened to provide greater defense, but that takes away from the mobility. At it's highest point, it's nigh invulnerable, but it turns him into a statue. Aside from thickness, he can also use it to more quickly create even more crystals to use in a offense measure, such as a whip made form crystal vipers, covering it in spikes, the options are near endless if one just applies their mind to it.

Aside from the armor, he can generate constructs from the world around him, making spikes and whatnot burst from the ground to attack his foes, though it's easier for him to crystalize something than manipulate that then to make it out of nothing like. He can crystalize living beings as well, though it's a bit harder, especially when trying to use it on Metas. To crystalize a living being completely takes on average about 5 minutes or so, making it not very useful in combat. If you need to get information out of a guy, however, threatening to literally shatter his balls tends to get you results. He can use it combat to crystalize their skin, then manipulate that to send tiny threads into their blood stream to restrict movements or even cause a host of internal damages. Anything that he crystalizes can be reversed by him or others with a similar power, though it'd take more effort for another person.

Crystaline Physiology: Not only can Alek create crystals, but he's also partially made out of them. The reason why he looks the way he does is because he's taken on the characteristics of the crystal's he grows. His cells are much more densely packed together, making his skin harder to pierce, and making him much stronger and more durable than the average guy. A bullet will get through, but he can easily block a knife with his bare hand and suffer only a small scratch. He can also crystalize his body in order to heal himself from any wounds he does happen to receive, though it's a slow process and best saved for serious injuries, Crystalizing also serves the purpose of making parts of his body more durable and increasing his strength in those parts, however, if they get fractured, or even shattered, then the damage will translate back when it returns to normal. This usually makes for a right bloody mess of a limb, so he doesn't often use this method.

Limits:

His armor can take on a large amount of damage, but it's incapable of self-repair on the move. So if it develops cracks, Alek needs to find a place to bunker down before they break down and leave him exposed. Also, the armor doesn't negate damage, just weakens it. If he gets hit by a strong enough attack(let's say Michelle's Full Powered Punch, which seems like it would probably break the armor, or leave it severely damaged afterwards), it will hurt him, just not as much as if he were to take it without the armor. The armor is his main combat application of the power, and at it's most basic iteration, doesn't require much power. He can easily keep it up for long periods of time, the longest he's kept it continually active is about a week. However, repairing the armor can leave him feeling slightly fatigued, and while that doesn't seem like much, it adds up over time if a battle drags on.

When manipulating his crystals and generating them, they have to be somewhere with in about a 15 meter radius. If it's out of that radius, he can't manipulate it, and the farther away something is, the more energy it takes to manipulate and the less reactive the crystal becomes. Crystalizing anything takes a good amount of energy, requires Alek to touch the subject, and it doesn't happen instantly. It actually takes about 30 secs before the crystallization of contact before the crystallization even starts.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks:

Alek is not very agile, nor is he particularly fast. Add on to that the density of his frame and you'll find that he'll sink with great ease into any body of liquid anything. His armor is also vulnerable to piercing attacks and anything the utilizes a rapid shift in temperatures, so if he faces a pyro- or cryo-kinetic, he's in for a bad time. Stealth is near impossible for him do to the fact that his crystals tend to take on bright colors, the only exception being Black for when he's murderously angry/Berserking. His looks also make it impossible for him to pass as a non-meta, especially with his arm made entirely of crystal, which he usually covers in bandages to make it less distracting to others.

Other:

Alek has a tendency when not on duty to keep any valuables on hand inside of his crystal arm. Makes it a lot harder for sneaky pickpockets to get him. He also has a pet dog, a Husky named Fluffy by his daughter when she was 5 years old. It was a present from him and a way to teach her how to responsibly take care of another living being, something he was having trouble with at the moment as well.

Jun 'Joshua' Ikaido

Basic Information

Name:

Jun (short for Junichi) Ikaido.

Nickname/Alias/Etc:

“Joshua.”

Gender:

Male.

Age:

21.

Height:

5'7

Weight:

149lb.

Home District:

Estella Isle, in Chinatown.

Appearance

Image.

Hair Color:

Black.

Eye Color:

Grey-ish blue.

Ethnicity:

Japanese.

Physical Appearance:

Jun has a rather scrawny appearance, although that largely has to do with his Japanese genes. He's small for American standards standing at 5'7, and his lack of height has also lead to a lightweight appearance in comparison to the Americans he finds himself surrounded by. This has also lead to a rather easy time in the gym acquiring muscle - it doesn't take long for his work to show. He finds himself having a light sixpack, one that he refers to as 'skinnypack' since it's not due to hard muscles, more so that he simply has barely any fat there. His arms on the other hands have some defined muscles from hard work, nothing over the top, just something you expect from a dockworker.

Facially he's nothing exactly special. All he has going for him is his well defined, handsome jawline, but asides that there's no particularily good-looking features that he possesses. His eyes are slanted in typical Asian manner which has given others reason to mock him for having slanted eyes on occasion. His hair is, typically, styled slightly upwards in a forwards manner. However if he doesn't style it it's generally all over the place (typical bedhead).

He looks, to others, generally like a friendly-looking person although whether that is true remains to be seen really. He looks approachable but not too much, like a person that you'd ask for directions and then get away from again. However at the same time he does have some sort of 'thuggish' air hanging around him - especially at night, he looks like a pretty typical low rank criminal especially in his typical 'youngsters' apparel.

Attire:

Typical attire consists of skinny jeans of varying colours (all in the grey, black or dark-blue tints), paired with whatever top Jun feels like throwing on. This is mostly a low V-neck t-shirt, a baseball t-shirt or an A-shirt of some dark tint. Ofcourse this goes paired with a jacket of some sort, usually either his navy colored felt-wool coat, or a black lightweight cotton jacket. Furthermore he has one single eyebrow piercing which is a simple round metal ball stuck through his eyebrow, and he has an industrial piercing in his left ear.

Personality

Innate & Outward Personality:

Innate, Jun is quite a calm man. He fancies himself respectful to a degree, as long as he's being treated well. These two qualities have made him quite a cool guy to be around. Jun is also a hard worker, someone that won't quit working until the job that he's been tasked to do for the day is done. This has made him invaluable to his boss, but has also made him quite prone to exploitation by superiors, if they can keep the over-working part subtle enough to go unnoticed. However anyone that pushes his buttons is bound to face Jun's wrath sooner or later.

Despite being a cool guy, calm and respectful, there is a breaking point for Jun as there is for any person. Jun doesn't anger that quick compared to others, however when he does get angry it takes him a while to calm down again. Furthermore he is someone that really believes in karma, and someone that will always hold a grudge. It can be 4 years since someone did him wrong, when he sees that person again he will feel anger and annoyance welling up inside, although obviously not to the point of ignition right away. Angry looks, a general downer on his mood and daggers being shot out by means of eyes are to be expected however.

Jun wouldn't go as far as to call himself an introverted person, but he does tend to stay to himself and his inner circles, his friends and family. He can have a talk with a stranger for a time, say 1 hour, but after that he'll have to excuse himself and get away. There is simply nobody that can hold his interest for so long if he doesn't know them well enough. With friends however, he can kick it, meaning they sit in an Asian nightclub together, enjoy a few drinks, maybe some ladies are interested and then they go home. However inside his group he is generally still regarded as the quiet one, the one that more or less sits around doing nothing, hanging, looking around and still enjoying themselves without saying much. Every now and then he might make a joke, or join in on an ongoing conversation, but he won't be the one that fills the air with words.

Hobbies/Interests:

Jun doesn't particularily take an interest in anything mentionable. However he does spend a large amount of time with his dog. In essence that could be an interest or hobby he has. His dog ain't anything special though, it's not a cynerkinetic dog that can chew men's arms off. It's a simple husky that stays indoors whenever Jun goes out.

He also enjoys going to the bar with his gang of friends, but that can also be accredited to social pressure. Most of the rest of his time is spent working at the dogs or traveling to and from work.

Skills/Talents:

You wouldn't expect it but no, Jun isn't a martial artist expert that can beat five opponents at once with a single kick. Nor is he Jackie Chan with crazy escape sequences. Most of his skills pertain to his job - his lazy, cheap boss doesn't want to pay to fix equipment so most of the time Jun spends repairing the forklift trucks or the machines inside. He's become quite able at that so far but, well, it's not like he can dismantle a bomb or anything. He probably also couldn't fix up an entire car.

Besides that Jun has learned how to get around, meaning he can fit in pretty much everywhere if he wishes to - this amounts to simply picking your words and doing the bare minimum to keep people from getting annoyed or angry at you. Mostly, it also means following orders of people that you need to follow. He frequently hangs with the Yakuza thugs (his friends) and has learned through that who to listen to, who to ignore, who are all bark and who are actually going to bite. It's a valuable skill to have in Verthaven, he reckons.

History/Bio:

Jun grew up in Ōta, Japan where his father worked in the local Subaru factory that was there, taking great pride in it since after all Ōta was the home of auto industry in Japan. His mom was a stay at home mom, who took care of him and his younger brother, as well as his older sister. However with shifting economies (and, quite frankly, the meagre wage his father earned in the Subaru factory) came new focuspoints, which for the Ikaido family meant moving to America.

It was here they decided to settle themselves and build a future - ofcourse they lived in Chinatown, they wouldn't want to abandon their own culture. As such Jun is still ingrained largely with (much less Japanese) Asian culture. His time spent in Japan hadn't given him a great deal of time to learn Japanese fluently (he spoke it like a child, obviously, when they left) but he is now trying to keep up with his language skills in Japanese whilst also working his job.

His family is all still well and doing okay, although ofcourse there's the trouble with money - a recurring problem for the Ikaido family. They're not exactly poor by any means meaning they get by. But they are not exactly affluent, barely able to afford high school for the youngest, and it goes without saying that the youngest spends more time ditching school than actually being in school. Jun's sister works a fulltime job at a local Chinese restaurant (humourous, given the difference between Japanese and Chinese food.. all she does is serve food, so it doesn't matter) much to the dissapointment of her parents who'd hoped she'd go to school, then college, perhaps university to be a doctor. As for Jun, this was never a problem. His father had always anticipated Jun turned out like him - brought up with the flat hand hovering near your head in case you did something wrong. It was a traditional way to bring up kids like Jun, who was troublesome in his youth, but it has set him straight. He was never destined to be a doctor anyway, and his father and mother acknowledged this and accepted him becoming a dockworker. 'As long as your family is fed' his parents say. Not that Jun has a direct family of his own to speak of.

As for things not directly related to his family, Jun has been at terms with his 'meta human powers' for quite some time. He's known of it's existence for about five years, but has only been able to directly control it for four years. His power pertains to the selective high-speed evolution, or SHE. This acronym means that he generally refers to his power as 'her' as a joke. Other's have also called his power Darwinesis, but more about that later. Four years of experience isn't all that much but his power isn't that hard to use - it's not something he directly controls. He merely activates it and what happens afterwards is beyond his control. As such he didn't have much to learn about it and every experience is new for him. He has however learned to gain greater control over his ability, helping him hide the ability (it's not visible when not in use) and constrain it when he didn't want it to appear, due to not all people enjoying the company of meta humans.

Relationships

Family:

Akimichi Ikaido -~- father, 'old man'. Guy doesn't do much these days anymore, besides working at a local repairshop. His expertise with car manufacturing allowed him to get a pretty good position there (though obviously repairshops don't pay much) so he's just sitting out his days, really. Most his time is spent working, the remainder is spent pestering his kids about the future.

Mika Ikaido -~- mother, 'mom' spends most her time taking care of Chun, getting him to school and doing generally cleaning things after that. She doesn't lead an interesting life.

Chun Ikaido -~- Chun is generally not the 'good kid' his parents think him to be (well, that's changed a bit lately) as he's barely 15 and already involved in theft, robberies and running errants for local Asian gangs. Mostly he's trying to fit in with them, to be cool, and as a result has picked up a habit his brother has also picked up, smoking.

Amy Ikaido -~- okay, so Chaya isn't her real name, it's just the name she took on. Her real name is Ame, but that kept getting changed by Americans to Amy, so she just decided to roll with it. At the age of 25 (currently) she still works in a local Chinese restaurant (she betrayed Japan, hehe).

Abilities

Power Class:

Supersystem, biological.

Power:

Selective High-speed Evolution, SHE,, Darwinetism.

A power that allows the user to utilise the 'power of evolution'. In normal people, this evolution usually takes years, centuries, many many generations of people for even the slightest change. For Jun, this is not the case. He is able to undergo a situationally adapted version of evolution at times he selects (hence, it's selective). This power then utilises exterior situations by monitoring them through analysing the users vision, but also interior chemicals like adrenaline, blood pressure and even chemicals released when feeling things like love, anger, pain, hatred, anguish or fright. Upon activating the power the power will manifest itself using the chemicals and exterior situations, to come up with an evolutionary solution for 'situational problems' so to say. This way he undergoes a change in body, be it internal or external, that is in most cases a match to the situation. Take for example, he is faced with a poison. After activating the power his body will rapidly adapt to the poison to come up with a way to deal with it (such as, filtration in nasal areas, internal immunity or changed respiratory systems). This power works best for things like poison or such, because it's easy to adapt to those.

It's a different thing when dealing with more physical threats such as a man that wants to punch you. There's no real way to 'adapt' to this so to deal with this the power analyses the incoming threats and will adapt to it by making a defensive mechanism (a tail with stinger, claws, a hammer-like hand..) however this is where it's weaknesses really come into play. More on that later.

Limits:

The limits pertain to the intake of chemicals and situational circumstances. As such his power is limitless, except for the fact that the effect is sometimes not so useful, and sometimes very much so. Besides that, the effect is almost always random, save for the healing. This means the limit it has is that the effects are not always as intended or as wanted by Jun.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks:

The progress between normal and evolution is a short, but noticeable, time period. It usually takes five seconds on average but that ofcourse depends on how big or small the change is going to be. For example, a small change to the arm might take two seconds to mutate, but a large change to the overall body could take anywhere from 8 to 10 seconds. That's not that long of a time, but long enough to get shot, stabbed or beaten to death.

Furthermore the transformation can also be quite painful, again depending on size. A small change could range from a small, needle like pain to a stabbing pain in that region, where as a big transformation can feel like you are being electrocuted, or dying from the inside.

Sample Post:

“Ksu...” Jun said to himself as he hung over the railing of the ferry he took to get to work. His cigarette hung from his lips, it all somewhat dramatical, like something out of a bad movie. Especially an Asian drama. Egh, who gave a shit anyway. Jun was tired, hadn't had his coffee and furthermore the morning had been cold, filled with fog over the water and to top it off he'd missed his first ferry. Like this day could get any worse in any way. Well, it could. Jun turned around and walked over to his (crappy) motorcycle, but before he got there he felt a heavy brush of wind in his back, and like that the motorcycle fell over despite the standard he'd put his motorcycle on. A fit of rage started to fill him, but Jun contained himself as he stepped closer. He kicked the motorcycle's tires, knowing it wouldn't do anything, but helping him release his anger at this morning. “Fucking piece of garbage metal..” he whispered whilst grabbing the motorcycle and pulling it back upright.

With a foot hoisted in the air he threw himself into the seat and got ready to ride to work. Luckily he was in front of the ferry, so he wouldn't have to wait for all the slow people to get out. That'd be bad. Especially cause he was late already. He took a final drag of his cigarette before grabbing it and throwing it towards, and over, the railing. With that done, he started up his motorcycle and drove off the ramp, the roar of the engines behind him all starting up at once. Luckily he was only 15 minutes late, not a big deal if you asked Jun.

CLANG! The metal door to the foreman's office rammed shut as Jun exited. Boss wasn't happy, but atleast Jun got to keep his job. He got told to work overtime tonight, and not paid either. He walked down the metal stairs with quick steps, approaching the rest of the workers whom he'd soon join. They were carrying crates outside, again. That'd be about the fifth time this week they'd been doing that since all the forklifts were broken again. “Fucking Ricardo.. never wants to pay to repair anything, never wants to cut us some slack, always workin' overtime..” The words went silent under the loud noises the other men were producing, which was probably best for Jun lest he wished to get fired on the spot.

Sighing, he got started with the task at hand, carrying those stupid fuckin' boxes outside and into a truck. It was a shitty job but it paid the bills. Sometimes. Recent unforeseen expenditures have caused Jun to be behind his monthly rent payments by about a month but he was slowly getting back up there. And really, there was nothing he could quite do about those costs. Hospital bills are usually not something that came cheaply and in this case it cost Jun most of his saved up money and a little on the side too to be able to afford them.

So this time I think I'm done. Allen, let me know if I need to change anything or add more info to stuff.

@Raijinslayer His themesong should be a Marina and the Diamonds song.

@Partisan Yeah, man, everything else checks out, but I'm going to need you to describe the power. Like, what exactly can the evolution do? And some of the stuff in the weakness section should be going into the main power description.
