[OOC] High School Rumble! [open for applicants]

[VarionusNW]

If the Student Council slots are open, i would like to make a vice-president character.

[Lucius Cypher]

Name: Eddie Rig
Appearance:

Gender: Male
Age: 17
Year Level: 1st Year
Faction/club: None, though he's still looking for a job

Power: Friction - Eddie can control the level of friction between objects and people, however this is limited to things that he's currently in contact with. He can channel the friction through object's he's in contact with (For example between him, his opponent, and the ground they're standing on) but they're not quite as powerful as him making contact himself. Commonly, he uses this power to root people on the spot so he could go in and grab then, then changing the friction between himself and his opponent so he can crush them to death. Alternatively however, he could also make it so that the friction between his opponent and whatever is almost nil, preventing them from being able to get a firm hold of things, such as the ground or himself.

Eddie's own fighting style is mostly grappling from various martial arts. A bit of judo, a bit of sambo, some mauy thai, generally things like throws or holds. He's pretty fast for a big guy but he lacks any professional striking style, with his most advanced being a quick jab he can throw without a stance. He calls it the "Flicker Jab" cause it'll knock your lights out. Everything else is just him throwing his weight around or things to help him weather the blows from his opponents, being a tanky defensive brawler. For the most part Eddie is what we call "Unskilled, but Strong". Sure he might not have any fancy techniques, but his jab is nothing to scoff at and unless you're as big and tough as he is, once he has you in his grasp there's no getting out alive.

Bio: Eddie was always a big boy even when he was born. By the time he was five years old he was already four feet tall and weighing about 140 pounds. He was a bit on the chunky side, but because he was a big kid his folks had him do some work to help him lose weight. And he worked hard. So hard in fact, he doesn't really know how to do the whole school things cause he tends to work instead. Despite labor laws normally preventing him otherwise, Eddie looked like a nearly full grown adult (Or a big teenager) at the age of 13, and got himself a job working construction sites. He worked cause his folks were fairly poor and he felt like he needed to support them however he could.

Eventually the jig was up however. As strange as it was for Eddie to be such a huge man-child, once it came to light that he was only 14 when the work inspector came around, Eddie was laid off. He needed to find new work... Which mostly came from fighting. Eddie was no stranger to people picking fights with him. Most of the time they try to punch him in the face, with no discernible effect, and then he hug them. And break their spines. But when he joined this fighting pit, their fighters were able to hurt Eddie. He had to learn how to hold his owns. Fortunately he made some friends who taught Eddie how to wrestle and grapple, seeing that his massive strength could break lesser opponents quiet easily.

Eddie fought in the fight pits for a while until his father managed to land a job as a foreman, and his mother running a restaurant of a sandwich franchise. This allowed Eddie to no longer need to go to the fight pits anymore, but he felt that this would be a good career opportunity for him. He just needed more... Formal education. That's when he heard of a highschool known for their fighting. At first he just thought it was a delinquent school, but hearing more about how formalized everything was he figured he might as well sign up. With the help of his folks, he enrolled in Kagetora High School.

Rank: 1000
Score: 1000

Anything need fixing? To vauge? etc?

Name: Meruis Extrelicious

Appearance: WIP

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Year Level: 1

Faction/club: None

Power: Magic. Meruis's power comes from a book, that he naturally carries with him at all times. The book technically has infinite pages, though many of them of currently locked. The way his book works is as he reads it and understands more of it, more of the book becomes available. The powers he gains from the book are as varied as the universe itself but the beginning of the book of course only contains beginning spells. Though the book contains not so much spells as concepts of spells. For example a page might be on using a fireball, of course he can use this fireball but he can also add his own twist. Such as making it delayed, condensing it, making it a beam rather than a ball that explodes on impact. If he strays too far from the spell's origin however he risks at worst removing that page from the book and causing permanent harm to himself. More often it would simply be a matter of the spell having unexpected effects. Obviously this power will develop throughout the roleplay but currently he knows these spells.

Spellbook

Fireball
Earth wall
Ice Spear
Portal

Bio: Meruis's first memories began at the age of 10. He wake up in a cottage, in some sort of forest area. After examining his surroundings he found that the building was well stocked with food and other supplies, it even had electricity. Shortly after surveying the area a voice sounded in his head, "I have taken you here because you show potential. Here you will learn many things, from this book." At those words a surprisingly large, yet weightless book appeared in his hands. "Learn all you can from it, when it is necessary I will speak to you again" and just like that the voice vanished. Meruis did as he was told using the book with what little knowledge he had and figuring out how to use it. Several years later the voice returned, "Good, but I fear by yourself your learning may stagnate. There is a school to the north of here, go to it, learn more. Now go!" Naturally Meruis packed a small amount of food and made his way to this school, eager to interact with other people.

Finally woke up! Replies incoming!

Are the Student Council slots open for applications? If so, I'd like to make a Student Relations Officer.

@Ostarion

If the Student Council slots are open, i would like to make a vice-president character.

@VarionusNW

You two can go ahead! If no one shows up to take Public Relations I'll handle that myself.

@GreenGoat Your CS looks good

@Aspen Wren I guess I didn't mention this but this goes for everyone. If you're not a first year, you can have more than 1000 score, you start of with 1000 when you start start as a first year, but anyone above that should definitely have more or less. Other than that, would your power have a limitation on manipulating multiple areas at once? It might be good when if she's taking air out of someone's lungs that they can just jump back and avoid the effects.

@Clev It's Regiment not Regimate, but other than that it's good

@Ryu Oh, you added more the backstory. Looks good to me, except he seems a little old for a first year. They're usually 15-6ish

@Embalmer Looks good to me

@Clanjos The Score might be a little high but I guess that's my fault for not explaining how much you get. I'll put it in the score section soon.

@Lucius Cypher Why don't you join the Judo club or something? Other than that, it's good

@Eklispe Come one now, you'd be perfect for the occult research club! I'm surprised no one's going in it.

For everyone I've approved, I'm going to get an active cast list post in the character tab for convenience so just wait for it please

[RoflsMazoy]

I just realized I forgot all about the dorms. I'm going to need some Rank limits for those dorms, after that you all should put down which dorm you're in.

[Lucius Cypher]

Cause Eddie is a new student, he hasn't joined a club yet. Also I figured he'd actually be part of the Baseball team.

[Ploxerdon]

Name: Kyousuke Lawton
Appearance: + a gas mask
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Year Level:1
Faction/club: None (yet), he is the loner type so he doesn't really show any initiative towards joining a faction
Power: Kyosuke wields two guns: A standard revolver like you usually see in cowboy films, in his belt, and a sawn-off shotgun on his back. Kyosuke is able to reload either gun within a second due to experience with using them, and he also possesses a high accuracy with his guns.
For close combat, Kyosuke uses a hybrid of Wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to force the opponent into submission.
As for actual powers, Kyosuke has an interesting ability:
He can turn into smog, allowing him to almost teleport small distances, and dodging attacks.
This power however comes with huge drawbacks:
Whenever he breaths, he has to do it through the gas mask, which makes some sound.
Kyosuke rarely, if ever, gets hit, making his body really fragile, one uppercut for example could knock him out.
Another thing is that this smog actually poisons him when used:
If used a few times or for short durations, he will have to cough a bit.
If he uses it for a longer time or more often, he will have trouble breathing.
If he goes on using it, results are, but not limited to: headaches, vision becoming blurry, burning sensation in his entire body, gas leaking from his mask, lung damage, loss of consciousness, and even death if used too much.
Bio: Kyosuke grew up in a rough town.
People used to duel with guns on the streets all the time, and dying young was normal.
This gave you two options: Don't get hit and be quick or get hit and die.
Kyosuke managed to almost never get hit, but once he got assaulted by somebody who used a flamethrower: his whole body was burned, and the doctors could barely save him. When he woke up from the operation, he noticed that the gas mask he wore before was stuck to his head. The fire caused something weird in his body, making him breathe out smog through his mouth, and mask, which made really loud noises. Another thing he noticed, is that he could turn into smog. This really seemed strong, but he soon noticed that if he kept this form too long, he started to feel drawbacks.
After the accident, he decided to pick up some fighting classes, ending up with a combination of wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Nobody liked Kyosuke though, he never obtained any friends. Its most likely due to the fact that he was different with his weird mask.
This caused Kyosuke to hate most, if not all, other people.

Kyosuke woke up one day, receiving a mysterious letter: An invite to a high school which encouraged fighting.
Kyosuke expected that maybe people would accept him there, and he started his school career there, never turning back.

Score:1000

If something needs more explanation/details, tell me so.
Also, is his power balanced enough?

[GreenGoat]

Sweet. Can we put the CSes into the Char tab now?

[RoflsMazoy]

Sweet. Can we put the CSes into the Char tab now?

@GreenGoat

I want to have an active cast list first, it'll be done soon

[Aspen Wren]

@RoflsMazoy
It's more of a matter of reflexes. She can only move that much air so fast. The worst she's going to do anyhow is incapacitate someone. Elize isn't one to pick fights really. Something like that would wear her down really fast anyhow. Any kind of gas seeks to fill any present void so to hold a void or vacuum in that manner would be extremely strenuous for her as other gases would be trying to fill that empty space. She's constantly fighting the nature of her element. Moving air isn't a large task that's something rather simple but creating a void like that for more than about a minute or so is going to cause extreme damage to her own body.

@Aspen Wren

Ah I see, thanks for the clarification. Feel free to post your character in the character tab once you get your dorms and points sorted.

Also, to everyone else I've approved, you can go post your characters in the character tab after you sort your dorms and points out. I'll fill out the cast list for the characters as they come.

@Clev Oh, I didn't notice before, but yeah you can bring an instrument if you want

[Eklispe]

Eh, i'll join the Occult club. I didn't classify his power as Occult but if they'd accept me I'd join.

[Zero Hex]

Actually wouldn't it be better if approved characters are posted in the characters section so then you can link to the posts in the active cast list? Bit of extra work but I've always found it real nice when the GM does that.

[Ryu]

@Ryu Oh, you added more the backstory. Looks good to me, except he seems a little old for a first year. They're usually 15-6ish

@RoflsMazoy

Hehe, he was supposed to be a second/third year actually, but I decided to go for a first year to make it a bit more interesting. Edited~

[RoflsMazoy]

@Zero Hex

That's what I was going to do, but I wanted the sheets in the character tab to make it easier

Eh, i'll join the Occult club. I didn't classify his power as Occult but if they'd accept me I'd join.

@Eklispe

A mysterious voice gave him a spellbook and sent him off to find this school, that at the very least is occult as heck.

[Descartes]

W-what about me? Has GM forgotten little old me?

[RoflsMazoy]

W-what about me? Has GM forgotten little old me?

@Descartes

Oh yeah, sorry. I forgot about you >.<

Yeah, he's fine. You can go ahead and put him in the character tab.

[Embalmer]

@RoflsMazoy

Has anyone, to your knowledge claimed Captain-ship of the Boxers? If not I may toss my hat towards that, cause, why not.

[Descartes]

S-senpai finally noticed.

Also, Banchou, as probably the highest member of the DJ club should probably decide its affiliation if it even has one.

[RoflsMazoy]

@RoflsMazoy

Has anyone, to your knowledge claimed Captain-ship of the Boxers? If not I may toss my hat towards that, cause, why not.

@Embalmer

@Ryu will do it if no one else shows up, so go ahead
