I usually just do a google search. In this case I did a few searches for things like "hawaiian models" "hawaiian girl' 'hula dancer' because I think that's the type of girl Solita was going for.

I like using famous people for my face claims because there's so many gifs and pictures of them that I can incorporate into my character sheet, so I usually just browse [famous person name] gif hunt or [famous person] photoshoots. I don't really pay attention to the media and celebrities though, so I start off with "Blonde actress" or "African American models" and go through lists to see if there's one I like. Then I proceed to look for their photo shoots or gifhunts. Model Mayhem can also be good if you're looking for a face claim since people upload their portfolios.

I love using gifs in my character sheets, so I love using gif hunts. There's so many to choose from. Stock images are usually pretty good, but they usually have annoying watermarks on them. If you don't really care about formatting character sheets and making it really pretty, you could probably just find one picture that you like and end it there. But I have my own personal formatting and they involve multiple pictures/gifs.

@Undine

Are we the same person? Cause this is exactly what I do XD (Except I purposely chose Tatiana Maslany this round 'cause she fit my character perfectly)

Shorter CSs like this I usually only use one picture.

@Undine

Were there any categories that I neglected?

Hahaha maybe. I was influenced by a friend though--I spent so little time with my face claims until I joined a few RPs with him and was absolutely stunned by his beautiful character sheets. I'm trying to make mine pretty. It helps to have a lot more aspects to write about in the CS though to add more pretty pictures. Shorter CSs like this I usually only use one picture.

@Undine

I usually only use one gif, but I always have like a plethora of gifs that I cut out. I want to add more, but I never know where to add it in my CS format since its so orderly

@Prince of Seraphs
Have you had a chance to look at Elizaveta?

[Teddiplier]

My CS will be up once I'm home. If there's any problems with it (and I imagine there will be) then I'll change it.

@Prince of Seraphs I can't help but notice that you often use incorrect forms of words, among other things, when you post.

In this post for example:

Were they're any categories that I neglected?

@Prince of Seraphs

That "they're" is the completely wrong word. The correct word should be "there".

I have a few examples in my (incomplete) character dump linked in my signature if you'd like to see it. That's why I mentioned longer CS skeletons. My usual format is kind of like this.

And of course, any extra parts aside from the standard CS categories would be thrown in there too. Depending on how many, I like to throw in some more. In my RPs, I like to include a 'relationship sheet' so I usually include a couple of pictures in that too.

@Undine

Sweet, I might have to start doing that.

Sam

Name: Sam King
Age: 16
Power:
Gravity Manipulation: Sam has the power to manipulate forces of gravity and that grants several abilities. The first thing he can do with his power is increase or decrease the weight of an object. The second thing he can do is change the direction and flow of gravity, for example he can alter the direction of an object's gravity and either pull it or push it towards him. This ability can allow him to create a barrier of repelling gravity for defense against physical and projectile attacks, he can also use this power to allow to make superhuman jumps by lessening his personal gravity. Sam's third capability is that he can create gravitational attacks, such as shooting out a ball of concentrated gravity to hit his enemies with a great amount of concussive force or fire off blasts of gravitational force to knock away or even crush opponents.

Despite the power and versatility of the ability, Sam does have several weaknesses. His powers are mentally controlled and if something moves faster than he can react then his powers won't stop it. Energy based attacks and objects can't be effected by his gravity. Altering the weight of an object effectively requires him to be in touching distance of it and His powers if used too much will cause a massive strain on his body and using his gravity powers to create blasts and projectile attacks will tax his body more than other abilities. Thanks to his age his experience with his abilities are not very refined and he can't use them to their full capability. It is difficult for Sam to manipulate the gravity of multiple objects especially if his trying to apply different effects to them.

Nationality: Southern American
Bio: He was born in New Orleans Louisiana and from a very young age Sam had an interest in playing football. When he was nine his parents signed him up for a little league team and his coaches were impressed by his talent at the sport. As he got older his skills improved and he could play good multiple positions such Running Back, TE, Offensive Lineman and was a good QB. Many said he had a bright future in the sport ahead of him and it became his dream to one day become a professional NFL player.

His life however would take a different turn when his powers manifested while playing a game in his Sophomore year of high school. He was playing running back and as he charged the other team's oncoming defense he felt a strange power surge within him. His gravity powers activated and he felt himself become heavier. With his extra weight his inertia allowed him to play through the defense and score a game winning touchdown. Sam's team was overjoyed with him winning the game and he was too, but the sudden awakening of his powers made him wonder what it all meant.

After a short while he discovered more of his capabilities and realized that he could control gravity. Sam tried to keep his powers a secret, but he was eventually caught by the corporation and sent to The Center. Once there he made sure to lay down the laws of the jungle and made sure that people knew that he wasn't to be messed with

Personality: Sam is very traditional and has a love for football since he is player for his high school team. Sam considers himself an authoritarian and is a firm believe in the rule of law and divine authority. He has saying that he sometimes likes to quote to others "The only above the laws of the land is God's law." He is a devout catholic and always believes that his abilities are a sign from God that he had a higher purpose.

His time in the metahuman prison made him hate the fiends who sold other off into something like slavery and he always had a desire to take down the organization for his imprisonment. He has a don't screw with me kind of attitude and will try to kick the ass of anyone who crosses him.

Appearance: Sam is five feet and ten inches tall. He wears a black trench coat and white short-sleeved shirt and cargo pants. He finally wears black shoes that are good for running. His hair is bright red and his face while young looks tough and his eyes are a fierce blue.
Other: (anything that doesn't fit into the other groups)

@Weird Tales Oh. My character's name is Sam. Should I change that, because it might get confusing?

@Teddiplier

We can what the GM thinks of it

[TheUnknowable]

@ApokalipseI think our characters will get along well, judging by their powers.

Denied Character

"I haven't changed, I just woke up."

Name
Sam(antha) Quennings

Age
17

Gender
Transgender boy (Girl who feels she's a boy, if that's confusing)

Power
Physic; whenever Sam eats the brain of a dead person he receives their most recent memories and a quick flash of their life. He also gains some of their traits for the next day or two. For example, if he eats the brain of an artist, he will feel creative and inspired for the next one or two days. But, if he chooses, he can keep those traits for longer. The only downside to this is he can only keep one person's traits at a time.

Nationality
Ireland

Bio
Sam was always an energetic person. He was so happy when they moved to America, so excited that he'd get to make new friends and have a new start. You see, he was popular in his town. But not for a good reason. Bullied everyday like a cliche movie, Sam's family had decided they were going to America. After landing in between flights to rest, there was a breakout in the airport. No one knows how it started, but there were zombies.

Sam had been using the restroom and was washing his hands when he was attacked. He was bit on the left shoulder, and managed to escape the grasp of the zombie somehow. He can't remember, because it was all a blurr.
After stumbling around the streets, grasping his bitten arm, Sam died in an ally.

He woke up, scared and surprised he was still alive. Hadn't he died?! He found himself pale and his long hair white-blonde, and he had a craving for brains. But he was fully aware of himself.
Sam hid himself in society, going to school and being outcast. He looked goth, and everyone thought him shady. Sam had to go grave hunting to gain brains so he could stay alive. He found that he received memories of the people's brains he ate and some of their personality. One night as he was grave hunting, he was kidnapped.

Personality
Energetic but calm, loyal, ambitious, sarcastic

Appearance

Hider

Other
Samantha is a zombie. He's aware of himself though. It's almost like he's human, except he has a craving for brains he needs to fill. He doesn't taste other foods, even though he can eat them. Same with liquids.
He actually has ice blue eyes.
This character was inspired by the show iZombie.

I'm not entirely sure how... "canon" it is for there to be zombies in this rp.

@Scarifar

That's what I was wondering. If you need me to change it I'll try to come up with something else.

@Teddiplier

Perhaps you should. I mean, how would this "ability" even get tested or trained?
