[OOC] The Corrigan School for Advanced Learning and Development (A DC School RP)

[Lord Wraith]

Alrighty, I'll get to work on a post as soon as possible.

@GreenGrenade

Much obliged, I think I'll use my introduction post for Aiden as the point to have John Stewart set up the teams and introduce the simulation situation.

@Lord Wraith

Sweet. Just keep in mind that "as soon as possible" actually means "in a couple of hours"... I don't have the patience to write on my phone.

No worries, I may begin drafting my post tonight however I may not end up posting it. All depends on some other stuff I have to get done.

| NAME: |

Aiden Gabriel Roth

| ALIAS: |

~None~

| AGE: |

18

| ABILITIES/SKILLS/EQUIPMENT: |

//ABILITIES:

Aiden has the ability to create and project thermal energy from his eyes. This thermal energy can be ejected from the eyes in one of two ways, as concussive blasts or as a powerful continuous beam.

When fired as a concussive blast, Aiden can either fire these blasts singularly or in rapid succession. The size and speed can all be controlled, with Aiden gaining more skill with his abilities each year. The temperature of his ability is variable with the hottest temperature reaching 1510 degrees Celsius (2750°F) which is even capable melting through solid steel. While Aiden can't force his ability burn any hotter than the above number, extended exposure would eventually raise the temperature of the target higher than the above numbers.

Like the temperature, Aiden controls the force behind each concussive blast. He can simply radiate heat from his eyes or, Aiden can put up to enough force to easily lift an object over five tonnes into the air, as maximum Aiden has even managed to offset a thrown car. That said, due to the strain Aiden can't keep consistently manage that much force. Likewise as with anything, the width and diameter of Aiden's blasts and beams have an effect, a focused narrow beam is more likely to cut through a target where as a wide blast will push back or knock down a target. As with the temperature and pressure, Aiden can control the size of his beams whether they're small precision blasts or wide, large blast for a maximum area of effect. While Aiden's optic blasts can be fired anywhere within his vision's range, the solid beams can actually be bent and curved by his own will as opposed to reflecting and refracting off of mirrored surfaces. To this extent, Aiden can literally chase a target with his optic beams as long as they are within eye sight.

Due to the heat and force behind his vision powers, Aiden has slightly improved durability primarily in heat resistance. Additionally his balance is enhanced in order to be able to stand against his own concussive force.

//APPLICATIONS:

Aiden's optical powers have a wide variety of uses outside of the obvious combat ones. For instance, a low heat beam can be used to help bring of the body heat of a teammate on the verge of hypothermia. Likewise, his abilities could also be used as a signal flare or to start a fire.

A blast or beam with a very low to no heat level could be used to push a teammate who's out of arm's' reach in the case they were in danger or didn't see an incoming threat. A focused high heat beam could be used to cut with surgical precision if given training, further more it would also cauterize the wound. High level heat beams can also be used to weld or cut through metal and other materials. Wide beams can be used for a maximum range of effect, such as evaporating snow, ice or even water.​

​

| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |

//LIMITATIONS:

While powerful, Aiden has several notable limitation that come with his abilities. First and foremost, his energy levels are not finite and overuse will leave Aiden complete drained, possibly even unconscious. In order to recharge his optic powers, Aiden requires rest and sustenance. Abuse requires substantially longer to recover from.

Furthermore, despite being resistant to the heat produced by his own abilities, Aiden can't handle the heat from his optic blast if he were to completely drain it at maximum temperature in one continuous beam. This would likely leave him with severe burns to his body as well as permanently blinded.​

//WEAKNESSES:

Aiden's abilities tend to hinder his vision while in use, each blast he fires is a moment when the world is completely distort in a burst of brilliant colour, likewise while emitting a beam attack, his vision is almost completely obstructed leaving him open to attacks. This is particularly exploitable when you realize that Aiden's own attacks can be redirected back at him and are completely able to injure him though to a lesser extent than the intended target due to Aiden's resistance.

His attacks are however difficult to reflect but certain mirrored surfaces are capable of doing so, some glass structures too are capable of refracting his attacks and altering their path. Lastly and perhaps most notable, Aiden's body is only a small step above that of a regular human, his skin is no more resistant to knives and gunfire than a Norm making him fairly easy to kill if unprepared and unarmored.​

| SAMPLE POST: |

The smell of dirt overwhelmed Aiden's as his face was forced down into the ground, the taste of grass overpowering his mouth as the small green blades pushed through his lips and in between his teeth. As the weight of the other body got off of him, Aiden pushed himself up with his arms, another student coming over to grab the football as Aiden silently cursed to himself, spitting out the grass from his mouth as he stood up. Blinking back his glowing red eyes, he gave his head a shake in disbelief for the fact he just tried to outrun a speedster.

"Shouldn't have tried that Roth!" A playful voice yelled as Aiden looked over at voice responsible for tackling him.

"I dare you to get the ball next Zippy, I'll knock you on your ass from halfway across the field." Aiden laughed as he returned to his team's line up. Meta-ball was one of his favourite past times at Corrigan, it was football but with powers. Naturally that made for a much more interesting game.

"Roth get in here!" Bruce, Aiden's team's quarterback ordered. Like Aiden, he was able to manipulate energy, however his abilities were quite different as he was able to charge the potential energy in an object, releasing it in a large kinetic burst. It made him ideal for a Hail-Mary play. "Alright so here's the plan, Zippy over there has the ground covered so we need to somehow get past him if we want to win this game. This is our final down and we can't afford to blow it."

"Why don't you run the ball? Charge your own potential energy and launch across the field?" Aiden suggested as the other teammates murmured their agreement.

"Alright, I'll try it, but I'm counting on you to blast that speedster Roth. Everyone else, stick with your man. We've got this! Break!" Bruce yelled as the team turned around and ran to the line. Within seconds, the ball had snapped and the two teams were clashing until suddenly Bruce went barreling through, his explosion of energy propelling him almost as fast as Zippy could move. Running as fast he could, Aiden tried not to fall behind, and suddenly felt a 'WHOOSH' as Zippy passed him. Narrowing his eyes, Aiden slid to a stop and let loose a crimson concussive blast. As he narrowly missed, Aiden let out a curse as Zippy closed in on Bruce. Breathing in deeply, Aiden focused and instead of Zippy aimed at Bruce as he suddenly dropped to his knees and aimed upwards, unleashing a beam of energy from his eyes. A cry arose from both of the players as Zippy tackled Bruce just as the beam collided with them, raising both into the air as they continued to fly forward. With a thud, they suddenly dropped to the ground as Aiden stood and cheered. Rubbing his head as he too stood up, Bruce suddenly slammed the ball to the ground and joined in with Aiden's cheering as the team followed suit. Aiden's quick thinking had boosted Bruce into the endzone allowing the team their winning touch down.

"Told you I'd blast you Zippy!" Aiden called as the other teen shook his head and smiled.

"Good game Hotshot, we'll get you next time."

Scoffing, Aiden laughed as he turned back to the Speedster. "Don't count on it." He said with a wink as he headed towards the mess hall, a celebratory slice of pie was in order.​

| NOTES: |

• Proudly Canadian, having been born and raised in Toronto, Ontario.
• Has trouble getting close to people, afraid they're just going to leave.
• To a degree has difficulty with the opposite sex due to a fear of incinerating them if he were aroused. As such, Aiden is relatively chaste.
• Despite all of the above, Aiden is outgoing and enjoys being sociable especially when it comes to sports. Aiden enjoys football/meta-ball above all others though, second to that is naturally hockey.
• His favourite teams are the Calgary Stampeders and the Calgary Flames, despite having never actually been to Alberta, let alone Calgary.
• Hands down his favourite food is anything off a barbeque, whether a burger, pizza, steak or pork chop. As long as it has been cooked on a grill, he's going to enjoy it. For dessert however, he has a soft spot for pie, particularly Key Lime.
• Not a big fan of video games as he claims they make his eyes hurt.
• He loves rock music with his favourite band being Thousand Foot Krutch, although he has a guilty pleasure for Taylor Swift.
• Despite his aspirations to be a Teen Titan, Aiden is attracted to the idea of teaching and would love to one day work at Corrigan

@Lord Wraith

Andy is a great character and I'm sure he'd be perfect for another RP, but unfortunately he just isn't edgy enough for this world I've created.

@Tyler

Can't even bother to read a sheet correctly for the sake of a joke.

@Lord Wraith

Pls wait for meh to get a post up before J.S does anything XD

@Lord Wraith

I saw he was Canadian. Need I know anything else?

[FacePunch]

;-; Why doesn't anyone make a character who's only power is shooting beams of Kryptonite? That's wayyy more productive than all these fire/heat based losers.

[GreenGrenade]

@FacePunch Should I also mention that Andy takes particular pleasure in riling S'tann up?
_{(Also, writing my post.)}

[FacePunch]

@GreenGrenadeI would like to point out that riling up and attempted murder are two different things.

Ya know. Just in case you had any ideas.

We happen to like Kieran :P

Julian does have a flamethrower in his arm.

I somehow feel like S'Tan needs to start making friends, real fuckin' quick.

Not enough to spell his name properly, apparently.

[Lord Wraith]

Stupid phone.

@FacePunch

Ha no, that's just a countermeasure in case S'tann tries to murder him. Speaking of, petition to make that happen in the ARC session?

@Hillan

See, that requires S'tann to cease acting like a dick. Which sounds like real hard work.

[King Kindred]

And I have posted!

Let the royal games begin!

[FacePunch]

@GreenGrenade Try to murder Andy? I dunno. He'd need to do something real bad. Or annoying. Or something.

[GreenGrenade]

@FacePunch You can trust Andy with that. It's his specialty.

Mars will be at A.R.C.
