[OOC] The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

[Pirouette]

Okay I have two more Underground characters in my mind. Do we feel like we need them for diversity sake?

[Nytefall]

working on a post now. Wonder if anyone needs a teleporter on their side.

@Pirouette

Yes

Yes

@Savato

Okay

Edit: The whole scene happening right now is very saturated with characters so I'll hold off on posting.
@Savato I guess you can have Nancy find and pester Isaac or he can find you. I'll have the two other Underground cronies soon.

[NarcissisticPotato]

Do we have too many Underground characters? I was thinking of making another two!

@NarcissisticPotato

I am more than fine with dropping a character idea if you want your two characters.

PM me your ideas for them so we don't accidentally make the same things, though.

[Raijinslayer]

@NarcissisticPotato We need some more neutrals and reformists, cause the UGM has more confirmed members the Reformists, even if they do hold more sympathizers from the unaffliated.

@Pirouette

No, my characters can work as Reformists anyways! :D I'll pm you the ideas though!

[Savato]

Actually most people are neutrals. We have like few Reformists but multiple confirmed Underground. However I think many neutrals would be more righteous than freaking evil genocidal assholes.

Also @Pirouette you should have Isaac find her. That way I can have stuff to do on next post o;

Honey is pretty much a Reformist so there is another one.

I shall.

[TheWizardLizard]

Alex can probably be counted on the side of the Reformists - the only reason he's not one is because he's far too independent for any real kind of organization.

Incidentally, a lot's going on with him at the moment, but I'll wait until @c3p-0h posts on Aya before I have him respond (given as he has currently grabbed her).

[Lord Coake]

Is this still open for applications? I have a character that may be suitable for this RP I want to use, but there's one detail that I need to run by someone, if apps are still open.

@NarcissisticPotato

We do not.I'd much rather see them as too powerful than not enough.

The reforms have Eli and Light. To the undergrounds Edge.

[Letter Bee]

Okay, one, I'm back, and two, I have to apologize for my behavior last game.

Can I still join?

[AcerRo]

I ain't scared of you Bee. Toss a cs up.

@Lord Coake

Yes, you may go ahead.

[Lord Coake]

@Pirouette Well, I have my one question: Would a character whose powers stem from a failed secret experiment be acceptable?

[Pirouette]

@Pirouette Well, I have my one question: Would a character whose powers stem from a failed secret experiment be acceptable?

@Lord Coake

I believe some of the established lore supports that.

The US government was revealed to be using lower-level Metas to form much stronger ones. Your character can be an offspring of that.

[Lord Coake]

@PirouetteWell, here's the CS, so I'll let you be the judge of whether it's fine or not:

Name: Richard Washington
Alias(s): He has a tendency to name himself after famous historical figures, like 'Ronald Reagan' or 'Julius Caesar', while suffering under his insanity, but when his powers active he prefers to call himself Harbinger.
Age: Appears 23, but actually is 81 years of age

Affiliations: Mercs

Factions: Neutral

Description: Richard is 5' 11", with shaved, dark brown hair, and small scars upon his face. His eyes are a deep, ocean blue. He has a lean build, and is of a semi-muscular body type, his chest and back covered in scars and other marks left from injuries of various types. He notably wears a dark grey trenchcoat, buttoned up to his collar, black military fatigues, and combat boots, even when out in public as a normal person.

Powers: Richard's powers stem from his emotions. When he feels any emotion strongly enough, his powers activate, giving him enhanced speed, strength, toughness, and regeneration. The origins of his powers came with a side effect: strong insanity when not under the effects of his powers. Notably enough, his powers activating removes his avid madness, giving him a distinctly solemn, sane, and grim personality. He has one power that does not stem from emotions, however, and that is his highly extended lifespan. He is 81 years old, but maintains the appearance and body of a 23 year old male. His main weakness is that he must maintain the emotion that triggered his power, at the same severity in order to maintain the power. If his emotional state changes or lowers, his powers will cancel themselves temporarily, leaving him incapacitated until his body recovers from the sudden shift. The recovery can last anywhere from 20 minutes to over an hour. During this state of recovery, he is in a state of unconsciousness, and will murmur random things in his sleep.

Skills: Richard is a highly skilled swordsman, notable for wielding a sword built for one hand in both hands to enhance damage possible. He is also a skilled marksman with pistols, capable of using two at once with no loss to accuracy. He is also skilled in the martial art of Jeet Kune Do, and when asked, has stated he learned it from Bruce Lee himself.

Equipment: He keeps a special longsword designed to be used while his powers are active strapped to his back in a grey sheath, and carries 2 M1911 .45 caliber pistols on his hips for ranged combat.

Ranking: low A Rank, borderline B Rank

Brief History:

Hopefully Brief Enough

Born in 1944, Richard was raised with a 50s-60s mindset in mind. This, and his father serving in the Korean war influenced his desire to serve the US in its fights around the world. When he turned 18, he enlisted in the U.S. military, shortly before the Vietnam war. Rather than being immediately sent in, Richard was chosen for a special project by the military. The project was intended to manipulate the adrenaline levels produced by anger and fear in the human body, in order to create a super-soldier for the war. The project failed, instead enhancing the abilities of the body whenever any emotion was felt strongly. This would've been fine, if it weren't for the unfortunate side effect. Richard was made clinically insane by the project, and discharged by the military as useless for the war. He began wandering the world, learning any skill he decided would be fun to learn. Having no one close to him, he never really noticed the immense passage of time, and that he never seemed to age. It wasn't until the turn into the 21st century that he really began to realize the extent of the changing world, and knew he'd have to adapt. His madman personality generally keeps himself from choosing sides too much in the 'Metas V. Humans' conflict, so most of his decisions don't reflect the ideals of one side or the other, but when sane, he tends to side more on the side of the Reformists.

[Pirouette]

I'm actually not allowed to accept or deny people. @AcerRo can formally accept it.
