[PhoebeCarlisle]

@TheDarkTemplar

Hey would I be able to join? Also can my character have telepathy?

[TheDarkTemplar]

Telepathy, yeah but that would mean your character would be a type 1 unless they had a physical power.

Finn

Finn Lockhart



Name: Finn Lockhart

Age: 16

Eye Colors: Blue and Red

Personality: Finn is everyone's best friend. That's the simplest way to put it. He's closed off at first but once he gets to know you he's a nice guy, and if you've earned his trust, he'll protect you to the best of his ability. He's grown up a lot in the past two years and as a result, he's much smarter than you would expect. While his gift is one mainly designed for offense, Finn prefers pursuits of the mind, and he's always had an interest in books. He's extremely curious as well, and refuses to drop anything that interests him.

Type: Type 2

Abilities
Physical: Finn has the ability to manipulate fire. Not anything big like make pillars of flame appear from his hands or wrap himself in a shroud of flames and walk through lava. No. All he can really do is create enough fire in the palm of his hand and then cultivate it, and even toss a few fireballs around. His hands are completely resistant to flames but the rest of his body can still be burned, though it can take a lot more than the average individual.

Bio: Finn was born into a large family. The second born of five siblings, he was never lonely. His parents were politicians who worked a lot, but they loved their children a lot, and made that clear when they saw them. Finn was always closest to his older sister, Lucy. Being the oldest they looked after their younger brothers, triplets Alex, George, and Derek. However when Finn turned thirteen his life took a sharp turn. He snapped at his dog, Walter to get him to come and a spark flew from his fingers. No one noticed to Finn's relief, but that night he practiced in the quiet of his bedroom. He discovered that he could make a small flame appear in the palm of his hand and he was terrified. He knew what they did to Gifted and he didn't want that same fate. So he kept it a secret, telling no one but Lucy, who was sworn to secrecy. Soon however, Lucy convinced Finn to tell his parents. They were very accepting of their son's gift and began trying to rally support for a law that would protect the Gifted from discrimination although they found it hard to garner any help. Finn felt as if his life would turn out fine. However it soon took a turn. When Finn turned fourteen the Gifted Genocide began, and his parents were killed. While it was disguised as a car accident, he and his sister suspected it was because of the work they did to help the Gifted. Lucy promised to protect him but Finn refused, deciding instead that if he wanted to keep his siblings safe, he would have to leave. And leave he did. He was found by a member of the Conclave after a scuffle with a hunter. Injured and exhausted, Finn was brought to the Conclave base in Manhattan where they stitched him up. He decided that he would join them instead of being relocated, determined to see a world where the Gifted weren't hunted like foxes. He's now working with the Conclave to find any Gifted and offer them help.

Post Example

Example

The black BMW came to a stop in the parking lot of an old diner, jerking Finn forward in the passenger seat just slightly. He looked over at the driver, a girl that could pass for twenty but was only about 17. Her golden hair was bulled back in a ponytail, exposing her one blue eye, and her one green one. She met his gaze and smiled. "It's a beautiful night to save a Gifted," she said before stepping out of the car. Finn followed suit, stepping out into the Manhattan chill. He pulled his dark coat tighter around his slim frame before rubbing his gloved hands together. "Jessica, do you really think this girl will show?" he asked quietly as they stepped into the diner, a tinkling ringing throughout the building that signaled their entrance. "Well if she doesn't I'd be very surprised. Not many people refuse our help. Especially not in these cheery times," Jessica replied. The bitter sarcasm that she used in the last sentence told Finn that the conversation was over. A waitress made her way over to them and motioned for them to follow. She sat them at a booth in the far back by the window, and left them with the promise of coffee and a tired smile. Finn lazily scanned the menu while also checking the parking lot for any new arrivals. "I've got a bad feeling about this Jessica. You said you sensed Gifted across the street. What if we've got Hunters on our tail?" Finn hissed, his eyes darting to the window again. Jessica laughed. "Finn we've dealt with those before and if they show up again we'll show them why people should take us living GPS units more seriously." Finn shook his head and smirked. Jessica was one of the toughest people he knew. But she tended to throw caution to the wind when it came to Hunters. It wasn't long before Jessica tapped the table twice in rapid succession, the duo's signal that meant she could sense a Gifted. Finn looked up as the bell above the door tinkled. Finn saw a girl, about 16 with dark brown hair make their way toward them. She slid into the booth next to Jessica and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from her jacket pocket. "You're them. You left this note I assume. Meet in the back booth of Maureen's at 10:30? You know I almost didn't come. But then I thought about it and I knew they'd find me. I just knew it and I can't bring my family into this. I just can't," the girl said in a voice just louder than a whisper. Jessica turned to the girl and put a hand on her shoulder. "Mary, we know it's hard. But we can help. It's kind of our job. We help people like you and we get them somewhere safe." Mary nodded. Finn could tell she'd already decided what she'd do. Jessica was right. Not many refused the help of the Conclave. "Mary, if we're gonna go we should leave quickly. Some Hunters have been spotted in the area and they'll be on us soon. Jessica then turned to Finn and gave him a look. A look that meant something very bad. "Mary," she said, not once taking her eyes off of Finn, "I want you to walk very calmly into the bathroom. Barricade the door and hide as best you can. When it is safe to come out I will knock twice on the door very quickly. Only come out if you hear that knock. Now go," Jessica said, her voice calm. "How close are they?" Finn asked once Mary had gotten to the safety of the bathroom. "Close. They're almost here. I'm feeling like they're both Type 2's but I'm not positive," Jessica said. As she finished her sentence the bell rang and a man and a woman walked into the bar. As the bar cleared out, the two new guests showing their badges. Once the bar had cleared Finn and Jessica stood up and faced the duo. "So you're the two assholes who've been stalking us. Well let's do this," Finn said, sparking a flame in his hands.

Other: Finn works with a member of the Conclave named Jessica and she's definitely Finn's closest friend.

[TheDarkTemplar]

@PhoebeCarlisle

The bio should be a quick explanation of their normal life and their life after their turning. As for the Post Example it doesn't have to be long just try not to make it a 5-8 sentence thing. Like two paragraphs or more would be fine.

[PhoebeCarlisle]

@TheDarkTemplar

[GummyCat]

[GummyCat]

@TheDarkTemplar

Damien Rowans

Age:
25

Gender:
Male

Eye Colours:
One Silver and One Silvery Blue

Sexuality:
Pansexual - Panromantic

Gift

Short/Easier

Damien is a person who holds a strange unnatural beauty that is uncommon from the crowds and is simply better than what most people have. Combined with his appearance, he is able to persuade people to do things for him after staying with them for a long time. With those combined two powers, he comes out to be a very likable and social person person in the very end.

Long/Explanation

Damien holds a special ability in which he holds a supernatural appearance of beauty that is very unnatural and rare. Despite all odds his appearance will remain generally the same, as even when covered in dirt and grime he manages to pull it off. Also well as his words passively also effecting the people around him in the subconscious of their minds. His words to people tempts them to doing what he wants them to do, while effecting their minds by gently stimulating pleasure in small addicting amounts. In minutes he could make a stranger become his closest friend and make them do anything for him, while more with practicing and power he could make people feel that he is privileged to do it and even be admired for doing so. With even longer exposure, he could always have them perform small suggestions that he gave them as long as it didn’t go against their deepest beliefs. After so much exposure to Damien it is possible for those who are near him the longest to lose most of their free-will and do anything to please him

Bio:
Despite all chances of capture, Damien has always escaped and remained anonymous from being captured thanks to his gift. He remained free by using his gift to escape and persuade people to let him go and forget him, allowing him to life a mostly normal life. Thanks to it he was able to get his college degree and get a master's degree in psychology. What the irony, but either way his time during college was fun with parties and friends everywhere Damien liked it. But, everything needed to end just like it began and so with a bang he left by being hunted down. After a big party with some fireworks and alcohol, he was chased out of the city leaving only with a sports bag filled with items and his car. After college he never settled down, always being a nomad with his car being his home as he now drives a motorhome big enough to sleep two with a maximum of 5. How he got it... was by mysterious ways but now it is under his possession legally with his owner officially agreeing to give it to him, along with the papers signed and everything. So he now travels everywhere doing odd jobs and filling spaces in small towns while becoming a close neighbor before disappearing again, but always appearing back there once in an while to reconnect with friends.

Wait I think I need to clarify, your character does not need to be between the ages of 13-19. That timeframe is only for when your character got their powers, they can be older than 19.

@TheDarkTemplar

Nah, it's just that we like younger characters. Maybe. Also, is my CS acceptable?

[GummyCat]

@TheDarkTemplar

I feel like your aiming this at me but I understand the age thing, I just wish for a younger character going to hunt down older Gifteds. Adds a strange feeling to my character to why he's hunting at such at a young age, if we ever get to it we could explore more on his situation. If your not then whoops but yeah, I just like having young-ish characters but if you want i can make someone older?

[TheDarkTemplar]

Looks like Cole is going to have to play big brother...fml. Yes your character is accepted, just know in your abilities you put him as a pyromancer who uses ice. I believe the word you are looking for is cryomancer. Also if your posts will be short as you say just write so other players have something to go on.
