Primas Learning Center - School for Ex-Heroes

[Tancuras]

Primas is a school in some shitty little town, far off the beaten path and away from civilization proper. A tiny place, looks like it used to be a hospital or something. Built by the few people who actually give a shit about us, it doesn't have a lot of resources. A shitty little school in a shitty little town.

We used to be called heroes. Unexplainable things started happening around the world, and we stepped up to fix it. It was the first time it had ever been seen - we developed strange abilities, and used them to fight back against invading forces. A lot of us died. Some of us lived. We saved the world. The ungrateful fucking world. So what did they do? Some of us got locked up. Some went missing. Experimented on, studied, whatever. When they discovered that our abilities couldn't be explained, replicated or harnessed, they tossed us to the curb and told us not to do anything stupid.

You know how much that fucks you up, living through an apocalypse when you're that age? Most people went on their normal lives. Rebuilt civilization back to it's old shitty self. Not us. We were dragged around by our hair for years. We were only kids, so we missed a big chunk of what makes you functional in this world. Before we knew it, we were all grown up, minor celebrities. Not many people wanted anything to do with us, and once they abandoned us, we still needed to eat. Can't mooch off your parents forever. Some of us got minimum wage jobs. Is that what you get for saving the world? Working at a fucking Walmart?

So one day we're contacted by Primas. Telling us they 'care', and they want to help us fit back in with society. So here we are. Finishing fucking high school so we can go on to be good little consumers. What a joke.

---

I had an idea for a roleplay that takes place after the heroes save the world. What usually happens is the kids get powers, save the world, then everyone lives happily ever after and the credits roll. But what actually happens? So this is to explore that idea, see what happens to the misfits and freaks after the world goes on without them, when they don't have an enemy to fight.

You play as a retired hero who was dragged out of their old life and now has to fill in the blanks. You decide to finish your education with others like you, so you can go on and get that job you always wanted, or do whatever you want to do now that the world is boring again. Let me know if you're interested.

[dee]

I'm interested. Here have a wip. Just a question, how old were the heroes during the war?

Briar

Name: Briar Peyre
Age: 25
Gender: Female

Appearance

Personality:
Briar is a person who believes in living every day as if it was your last, and by the things she did every day, they might as well have been her last. She's a party animal, a socialite, and someone you can find where people are gathered usually as the center of attention. She's a daredevil, doing anything she can and then some. She's eccentric and an avant garde and likes to surround herself with similar people. Briar is smart and a smooth talker, a rather useful combination when dealing with the police. People get easily drawn to Briar, as if with a force as powerful as gravity. Briar doesn't actually care about if she has a lot of people around her. The only important thing is that she was having fun.

Briar can be a bit hot-headed. It doesn't take much to set her off, and she can get extremely violent and uncontrollable whenever that happens. She's also not one to take anything seriously, always choosing to let things run its course, even if it means bad things for her and the people around her. She usually lets things she's not involved in slide off her back, making her seem distant and uncaring. Briar isn't someone that's reliable or responsible, and as such, a lot of aspects of her life has gone awry. People that care about her have talked her ear off about her habits, but she let them in one ear and out another.

History:
Briar thought she'd finally be a hero after the war. She would finally be free of the little girl that people tossed aside once a new toy came around. She would finally be free of the clingy orphan that yearned for something concrete and constant. She would finally be free because she'd have a good life. She was wrong - so, so wrong. After the war ended and they returned victorious, history repeated herself. Briar was once again rejected by the very people she aimed to please.

She was done. The fourteen year old electrokinetic grabbed what little belongings she had and never looked back. She used her powers to get her the money she needed to survive - supercharging ATMs to spit out loads of cash. Of course, authorities caught wind of what she'd been doing and she needed to lay low. She dyed her hair blonde and took a radical change in her clothing preferences. Her ability had been shelved until absolutely necessary.

With the money she stole, Briar was able to make a life for herself. It wasn't the best, but she was surrounded by people and was able to do whatever she wanted. Ten years of living only for herself was working for Briar, or at least, that was what she lead people to believe. Then she found out about her biological family.

They took her in - admonishing her for her previous misconducts but accepting her nonetheless - and Briar hated every moment of it. It wasn't something she was used to, and it wasn't something she wanted to be used to. Her biological parents clung to her, wanting to make up for lost time. She never connected with her older sister. It was hell.

So while she told herself she'd said goodbye to the hero stuff, when she was contacted by Primas she found herself quick to agree. Anything to get out of that stifling house. Anything to regain her sense of independence.

Abilities:
Electricity Manipulation. User can create, shape and manipulate electricity, a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons or protons) which give the user control over electric fields, electric charges, electric currents, electronics, and electromagnetism.

Applications:
User can generate, conduct, and absorb electricity.
Charge objects with electricity, heat them and/or making them conduct electricity.
Electric Pull to pull themselves toward something or to pull things toward them.
The user can release/use electricity to attacks of various shapes and/or intensities, either projected, used as a part of melee attacks, etc.

Limitations:
May become useless if confronted electrical resistant material such as rubber or silicate.
Users may short circuit if hit with water. (Only if she's charging her body with electricity)
Briar's precision with her electrokinetic combat ability is a bit rusty after lack of use.

Belongings:
A motorcycle
A pair of gloves that magnify her abilities and allow for better control (currently broken)

[Tancuras]

@dee It varies. I would say anywhere from 8-18, the war lasted five years, and it's been six years since then, so eleven since it's beginning, though the numbers might change in the OOC. The important thing is that nobody managed to finish high school between the war and the aftermath. This puts the optimal character age range between 19 and 29, though exceptions can be made (example a young child coming into the war during its later years, or an older person who never finished school for other reasons).

[drallinix]

Name: Cade "Crow" Versipellis

Age: 23

Gender: male

Appearance:

Personality:

Crow can be dark and cold, but can also show a nurturing side to those weaker than himself. He is an intelligent and calculating individual who watches everything for minute details. Generally he is quiet and brooding, but he is a natural leader and if the time comes he will step forward and take charge. He is very caring of his raven and will die and kill to save her.

History: After the war Crow had nowhere to go, so he started traveling with a group of performers. During the war his preferred weapon was a sword, and he put one of his few skills to use in dazzling audiences with his power and his blade. However all good things must come to an end and the group fell apart, shortly after Crow was invited to this academy and decided to attend and make a new life for himself.

Abilities:
wings of desolation- Crow can sprout wings like a raven from his back that are enormous with a wingspan of 18 feet across.

Crow form- becoming the embodiment of a raven Crow is surrounded by dark energy that elicits fear to those around him and to them it appears as though he has become a monster.

command/dominate- Crow can only use this once a day and only on weak opponents or normal creatures. Crow uses overpowering mental force to subjugate the target to his well and can command them for a short time. However this spell wears off quickly and the stronger the opponent's mental fortitude the faster it goes away. Enemies with habits such as rage issues and doubting themselves are much more susceptible to this ability.

Belongings:
Armor- yes he wears actual armor, Crow is a calculating person and would always rather have armor than need it.

"Nevermore"- Crow's longsword, sharpened to a razors edge and with an onyx affixed in the pommel.

[Uruvion]

Name: Vance Meridian

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Personality: Vance is a kind soul, and in that, he is usually taken advantage of by people. He'll never hesitate to help someone in need, and is sometimes very emotional and fiercely protective of those he cares about.

History: After the war, Vance was promptly picked up by the government in order to test, study, and replicate his abilities. He was put through grueling tests, and subjected to torture to see the mental limits of his constructs. He eventually knew what he had to do, though he didn't know what the next day would bring. Unlike previous tests, where he was pushed to exhaustion, he withheld his power in his last one for two reasons. One was so that the scientists would assume that he was weakening, and wouldn't push so hard, and the other was to conserve energy to escape when the test was finished. It barely worked. As soon as he broke out of the facility, he was on the run with just the clothes on his back. He ran for what seemed like days, using his energy constructs to support the muscles in his legs by creating 'casts' which he moved using concentration when his muscles threatened to give out to give them a rest.

He found a small village that took him in, helped him with his wounds, and gave him sanctuary while he recovered. His experiences had made him paranoid, and wary to stay in one place for too long, so as soon as he was able, he was on the move again, and never stopped for too long.

Abilities: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Energy_Constructs
Vance has the ability to create objects from force of will. He usually creates shields, or weapons, whatever the situation calls for. The weakness of this ability, is that the bigger the construct, the weaker it is. A normal shield the size of a person can deflect bullets without issue, but if he were to make a shield the size of a house, the bullets would be slowed, but could still penetrate. Also, the bigger the construct, the more concentration is needed to maintain, and repair it, which gives Vance a massive headache, and can sometimes lead to unconsciousness. His constructs have a blue color to them, though they are semi-transparent.

Belongings: He carries a satchel over one shoulder, which has clothes, a small first aid kit, and a few lighters for camping. He also keeps a silver cross around his neck at all times.

Lionel Holman

Name: Lionel Holman

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Personality: Lionel is not an unhappy man, but he isn't exactly bursting with joy. He is instead, a man on edge. Anxious more often than not by a mile, he is cautious around most and scared to be around many. He is no fan of combat, and hated what he had to do during the war. He has trouble talking to others, and isn't exactly the smartest man around either. If you could quantify his 'charisma' and 'wisdom', the average man would be a ten on both, and Lionel would be around a seven and eight respectively. Lionel is has his heart in the right place, but can be quick to make assumptions and rush to snap decisions if under pressure. Plus, with him being quick to panic already, well, he isn't suited to be any form of party leader to say the least. Also he has a really bad case of 'bitchy resting face'.

Lionel however is hard-working, and is always willing to improve himself. He isn't, however, proficient at most schoolwork and can often be found complaining if talked to about it. He is, however, proficient in the sciences and is always willing to help others when it comes to that kind of work.

History: Lionel was lucky, he knew that was a fact truer then any other. Unlike the stories he had heard about his friends and fellow soldiers, he never ended up in the hands of scientists or government officials or anything of the sort. Perhaps it was because they valued his abilities less then others, or perhaps it was because they simply couldn't go after every hero they wanted to. Either way our man was not a lab rat though, and thats what mattered. However, veteran life wasn't a cake walk for him either. Lionel lived on the streets, off of petty jobs and could only occasionally hold something that payed slightly higher then minimum. But due to bad luck, more skilled competition, and his skittish personality, he would always be fired shortly into any job worthwhile.

Lionel knew this wasn't a life he was meant to leave, but with no power of his own that he could use to change it, he simply had to deal with it. Or at least, that is what he believed. It was then that Primas gave him a second chance at a life he had wanted. He was never so fast to sign himself up for else in his life.

Abilities: Lionel has the blood of the Hekatonkheires flowing through his veins. However he cannot access most of his power set. As of now, he only has fictional physical strength, and the ability to regenerate from wounds at an accelerated rate. That, and his ability to increase the size of his body slightly.

Belongings: N/A

Hope this is ok. If its too much or ya want me to change it for any reason, give me the heads up and ill make changes asap!

Since people are posting CS's I'll glue what I have here. I would love to find theimage in a smaller version but it's an old one I dug up and I dot have access to reverse image search.

Name:
Rucks Kennithson

Age:
26

Gender:
Male

Appearance:
static.zerochan.net/Nee..full.1675069...

Personality:

Rucks is a tough one, we'll not literally he's not really the greatest at punching. But personality wise he sure is. He's a cynic, well it's the best way to describe him. He trusted people enough in the war, he tries be be a harsher judge if character now.

If you get to know him he's pretty neat though, good with his hands and some gaffa tape if you need something fixing and he tries his best to stand up for his friends.

History:

Rucks was one of the lucky ones, he could escape. Something which so many wanted to do after the war, but so few could. He was watching over the years you know, as they hunted us down, took us from our homes. Our families. He probably could of helped, but he didn't. God only knows why. But he was there, those wormholes of his are unmistakeable.

After the first year he tried to settle down, a courier. Must have been nice, to easily be the best at what you did. Forget amazon prime and their next day delivery, this was always within the hour. But people are strange, well. I say that but only because they don't like people with strange abilities turning up at their door. It lasted a while though, before he disappeared again. To somewhere new no doubt.

It was another year before he popped up on the radar, turns out they were interested in him after all. He didn't escape too easily, back in the day he could open a gateway to anywhere in the world at a click of his fingers; what changed?

Primas. That's where he's gone, or at least where he's going. Education, it's looking up for that kid. Hopefully he won't need to rely on those powers soon. It'll be better for him, to not have the world look down on him despite all he did all those years ago.

Abilities:

Space-Time Manipulation

Derivatives:

Chronolock: An ability which allows the user to isolate themselves from our space time for a short while. This ability can be used as a four dimensional shield for up to four people.

White hole creation: The ability to condense a reverse flow of time into a singularity which then sends out a powerful shockwave.

Spatial distortion: The ability to create, destroy and tune areas of space to the users will. This can be used to increase or decrease distances, or to change an areas time flow. This also allows for instantaneous travel.

Pocket dimension: A small pocket dimension that can be used for storage. If you had a couple of thousand years you could probably fit a planet in there.

Time distortion: The ability to seemingly slow down and speed up time in an area. This can be used for neat tricks such as pretending to control gravity.

Belongings:

Rucks didn't bring much with him, of note were his scarf, a leather bound notebook and fountain pen - both of which are worn - and an old pocket watch. Sentiments of his old life.
