[OOC] The Gifted: Insurgency

[ArkmageddonCat]

@Cuccoruler It depends...I've never been much of a fan of arena...

[Ace of flames01]

@Cuccoruler I'm going to have to decline, sorry. This is mainly because I don't know how the arena works and also because it doesn't pique my interest

[Cuccoruler]

Don't worry about it

[Ace of flames01]

Don't worry about it

@Cuccoruler

Okay... Again I'm really sorry!

@TheDarkTemplar shaggy put up his CS ( just in case you missed it)

Edit: okay! I'm almost done with the 1st gen cards! Yay~! *jazz hands*

[TheDarkTemplar]

Hey everyone sorry for disappearing like I did, whatever I caught got worse to the point where I was bedridden for a while. Anyways I'm feeling much better and I promise the intro post will be here soon.

[ShaggyDoo0]

@TheDarkTemplar Glad you're feeling better!

[Ace of flames01]

@TheDarkTemplar glad you're feeling better, dude! I can't wait to finally get this thing started! Just... Make sure you don't over do it, again. XD

@TheDarkTemplar

'Ey! You mind finding me a picture for the Sentinel uniform? It has to be a really good photo that isn't dark and clearly shows the uniform.

As for every one else! Please give me a thorough and detailed explanation of what you want your character to be wearing so that way I can make the 2nd generation cards quicker. And all and any suggestions for elements to depict your character will be very helpful!

The good news for the 1st generation cards is that I only have 2 more cards left to design!

[TheDarkTemplar]

@Ace of flames01

This was the closest I could get to what I imagine their uniforms being. Aaron's is different because it's been fitted to his specifications and the same can be done for all other Sentinels. Sorry for the quality it was all I could find.

[Ace of flames01]

@TheDarkTemplar no biggie. At the very least, I have a basic idea as to what th uniform should look like... Though it may not be the exact same.... It'll probably end up being a more simple and less bulky design seeing as the picture you gave me. It is dark and kinda hard to make out.....

Edit: ok I just looked up the photo and found some better pictures... Though I don't think I'll be able to pull off the same look; I'll make it as similar as possible... With my own little changes put in here and there, of course.

[TheDarkTemplar]

Sounds good, my phone only lets me search for images through Yahoo which explains why the photo is so...poor.

[TheDarkTemplar]

Also I'm 2/3 done with the opening post. I'm not sure if I should save the last 1/3 for a separate or just jam it in because I feel like the opening post is too short for my taste. It's like(this is a guess I can't see it right now) like 5-6paragraphs.

Edit: it's 4....fml

[Ace of flames01]

@TheDarkTemplar hahahahaha! XD aw man, that must SUCK! You want to know what's worse? I'm going to be gone for roughly half of the weekend. Which sucks!

And yeah. My phone does the same thing except I use google and I usually can find some decent pictures

[ShaggyDoo0]

@TheDarkTemplar Hey bud, whats the verdict on my CS?

[TheDarkTemplar]

Just gave it the look over, approved!

Now all I gotta do is finish this last damn paragraph!

[Ace of flames01]

@TheDarkTemplar Hey bud, whats the verdict on my CS?

@ShaggyDoo0

Judge: guilty.

Me as Pheonix Wright: OBJECTION!

I'm really tired....

[TheDarkTemplar]

ITS DONE FINA-FUCKIN-LEEE!!!

[Ace of flames01]

ITS DONE FINA-FUCKIN-LEEE!!!

@TheDarkTemplar

I think I'm going to have Ace start out at a nearby hospital and Jack ends up calling Cole's intern and requesting to speak with Cole. Let me know if any changes need to be made

[Cuccoruler]

@Cuccoruler

I only have his personality left to write, as the original was based around him being a hunter. Though I haven't gotten around to it yet...I'll get on that soon.

John Reynolds

John Reynolds

---

---

Age: 46

Eye Colors: Left is Brown, Right is like...Bluish Purple

Personality
John is a rather calm and kind man, and has developed into more of an optimist than the pessimist that some had once considered him to have been. He cares very strongly for his family, and will do anything he can to help them should they need it...and that extends, to a degree, out to old friends like Cole and Ace. Additionally, he hasn't told anyone yet, but his gift has begun to affect his mental state; at times he will experience unprovoked flashes of images, memories, and/or visions...and he knows they aren't his, but they are all about him.

Type: Type 1

Abilities
Psychological:
John has the power of telepathy, and can use his power to read minds or communicate over long distances. He has been trained to use his powers to track down other gifted, though his superiors think he is only a Type 4 Gifted, and so he has secretly trained himself how to read minds and communicate telepathically.

Bio
John grew up as a fairly normal kid, taking a great liking to video games and movies and books. He enjoyed watching and reading these fantasies, and wished he could be in one himself. But as time went on John realized what an impossible dream that might be, because he began to notice that he was just a nobody. There was nothing truly special about him, and aside from being slightly above average in school - he really didn't do anything else. No sports, no extracurricular activities, no nothing. Just your average Joe...or...John. That is, until his eighteenth birthday; where his right eye changed color and he began to sense these...things. He didn't know what he was feeling, but one day he got curious enough to follow one of these 'feelings', and he came up to a house just as the authorities arrived at the door. He took cover and watched as the house was raided and a girl was taken out...she had mismatched eye colors, just like him! What was happening?! Why did they want her? Was it cause her eyes were different?! John figured they might want to take him away too, and he wanted to run away from here before he was noticed...but...that girl...she needed help. She was struggling and resisting, then suddenly she looked at John and screamed to him for help. His mind seared with an intense sensation, and he recognized it as the 'feeling' he followed over here...but...wait...the men who were capturing her turned and saw him. He panicked and got up to run, but...no...the sensation filled his head...and he felt brave...he had to help, he had to try.

John tried in vain, and was captured. The girl and him were taken and enslaved; John was trained and forced to work as a hunter to find more gifted, and to the best of John's knowledge...the girl was strapped into a chair, forced to incite bravery into the hunters in training.

For a time, he worked as a Hunter Agent for the DMA, tracking down Gifted to capture them. He did, however, feel a great deal of remorse doing so, and was known to even go out of his way to protect the lives of Gifted with harmless abilities. It was this mercy that eventually led him to meet a young girl, Mayumi, who's parents had been killed by John's commanding officer in the attempt to locate her. Feeling sorry for the girl, and feeling tired of having to murder his own kind, John betrayed his officer by stabbing him in the back and helping the girl to escape.

Eventually he had investigated a lead concerning a possible orphanage for Gifted, where he once again met his future adopted daughter, Mayumi, and also met his future wife, Cia, who found out he was a spy and had at first threatened to kill him. They came to the agreement that John would help Cia find a friend who had been captured, and so the journey began.

At first, while John found Cia attractive, he was quite afraid of her power. Over time, though, he saw more of her compassionate side, especially with how she was so protective of the children in her orphanage. Around the same time he also had decided to not only help Cia out at her orphanage, but personally adopt Mayumi, as well.

Continuing on the path to expose Mallory and remove Callahan from office with the likes of Ace and Cole, John continued to bond with Cia. And once Mallory was dealt with, and the DMA severely wounded, John began to think of his new friends as family. But only after they had reached their ultimate goal of getting President Callahan impeached did he realize that he loved Cia, as it was finally safe and possible to no longer live in fear.

Eventually, as most of the original anti-Callahan group began to drift apart, John and Cia went on to get married. John helped her out at the orphanage, but also made sure to spend personal time with his newly adopted daughter Mayumi. For the time being, with treatment of Gifted improving quickly, life was good.
