I'll bite...what could it hurt.
Look I hate to be the one who does something like this. But I am going to be dropping this RP. It's not as I imagined it to be and I am really struggling to find motivation to participate in this bank heist. To be frank, the setup was boring and the lack of information and details will just be a continued problem in this RP it seems.
@BCTheEntity

Go ahead and put Jack up. :)


Apparent Age: 32

Alias: Imita



Tier: 5.5

Years Spent in SYNBAD: 19 - 12 of those years was leading an unnamed group of New Breeds, teaching them how to survive, teaching them how to be a community. The 7 of those years were after Angelica and him created the firestation and offered a place for those who needed homes. Then of course began the building and organization of creating SYNBAD which Viorel had a significant part to play. He is the current leader of SYNBAD though he always encourages and mentors those he see as taken part in leadership.

Appearance:

A man watches the group with a stern looking, violet irises take in the world and studied it. Those who were tempted to look into his gaze found the world trapped in observant ocular study. Viorel is a man who comes off stern and serious, it is in his mannerisms, he walks upright, his back straight, his chest evenly aligned with his shoulders. He keeps his head up, which brings the harshness of his pensive, sharp angular features.



A raven that sat perched in the corner of the room, with dark violet hair swept back, and skin that reminded others of a porcelain doll. It had hints of peach and hints of rose, though mostly faint, and nearly glossy which betrayed his human silhouette. Viorel was not a man known to choose a bright wardrobe, often clothed in monotone colors, mainly a black coat with twin tails, black slacks, with knee high boots, also black, and often a black sweater that came up to his neck.

This man wasn’t known for expressing much either. His face seemed stuck, frozen in one emotion as if it were carved there by someone long ago. Though those who know Viorel, know while his face may not show warmth, his heart does. The man kind and tolerant, patient like a father, and wise beyond his apparent age. While he may lack the surface humanity it lay hidden within the hollow shell that is the representation of his body.

Though Viorel has remnants of an ancient history. A Romanian accent he cannot quite shake off. His voice rolls like dripping honey, his words often like silk, they wrap around you and keep you listening, despite its lack of extra notes in it. He speaks of a man with pose and elegance, formal, sophisticated, and from another time Viorel is always subject to fascination from others who observe this living puppet man. Stands at 5’10”, 177cm, and weighs 130lbs, 58kg.

To imitate life, to mimic it's graces, it's cruelties, to mirror it's horrors. It is what a performer does. A performer pours all of himself and all of the world he sees and imitates it. I am Imita.




Personality:

Viorel is a critical man, he is straightforward and gets to the point very quickly. He comes off as someone who has no patience with those who want to fluff around. You say what you have to is often Viorel’s philosophy.

He comes off as someone who is unapproachable, though once you peak Viorel’s hobbies or interest you’ll find a chatty man, someone who has a lot of joy and loves life. Which is betrayed by his severe expression. For obvious reasons he comes off emotionally aloof, though Viorel never been a man to not tell people who ask. Simply no one ask and Viorel will not say.

He comes off wiser than his own apparent age, he’s had nine hundred years of life experience to give unto others and he is willing to share it. He comes off as a patience tolerant, father when dealing with those younger than him, especially the youngest members of the New Breed. Though it doesn’t shake off the nickname, Grandpa.

Viorel has a lot of patience, even if it really doesn’t seem so. He’s described as a great leader because of his great calm. He is a sophisticated gentleman who seems to coming from a different era and different age. His mannerisms of politeness may be more extreme to others and some might even find it uncomfortable.Viorel is never struck to say something harsh or rudely toned to other individuals, he never curses, or never speaks ill of his enemies. He never underestimates them or overestimates them and challenges people to prove themselves through actions that back up their words.

Open and honest, a loyal individual who takes every life under his command as a life he is responsible for Viorel has a habit of blaming himself for those individual deaths. He always seeks to be a better individual, trying to learn from others in a time that seems to move fast. In his mind his life went from horses and wagons to cars pretty fast.

Though behind all that stoic sophistication some say lies a weirdo secretly underneath it all. Viorel is passionate about fantasy, he’ll tell you that dragons and gnolls were real at some point, and will tell you stories about how they went extinct or were killed turned to myth and legend. Viorel is happy to teach others how to wood carve and seems to enjoy the company. He’ll also tell you unnecessary things you do not need to know. He’ll ask questions about the world around him as well with curiosity, though may reject the knowledge if he finds it “dumb”.

While Viorel offers a lot to others, he does give the air of someone fairly lonely at times. Because so many rely on him, few ask him how he feels and Viorel has a habit of shutting down and falling into unexpressed depression. He can also be a cruel man to those who have struck a chord in Viorel’s morality. Anyone who hurts or harms his children, as that is what he calls anyone in LHA be prepared to face the wrath of Viorel. Any damage you have done to them be it death or fatal wounds be sure to be prepared for tens time the pain you have done unto them. He can also come off very devout. Slightly more religious than modern religious practices he can come off err very very “early” century faithful.

Skills:

Tactics and Strategy -

Viorel’s power requires a lot of personal maintenance, it’s something he has had to learn to manage. A lot of his power requires tactical and strategic thinking before plunging head first into a situation. And with that knowledge his power has given to him, it is something Viorel can do with relative ease in any other given situation. Knowing how to handle and tackle the next situation that may arise.

Strong Leadership -

There is one thing everyone can agree upon Viorel has strong leadership skills. While he may come off as unapproachable and severe, the truth is once you understand Viorel’s mostly harmless you see a man who knows how to lead his people and guide them.

Perceptive Observation -

Viorel has an eye for detail. He can tell when someone is trying to cheat him or lie to him. He can tell when someone has tried to deceive him by moving objects around. It’s very hard to catch Viorel off guard. He looks for the finer details because his work has always been to look at the tinier details in life.

Intimidation -

Viorel is not oblivious that he can be an intimidating figure to many. It's a very good thing to use then when you need to pry information out of other people and Myles handing them soda doesn't work.

Brewing Tea -

Traveling the world has given Viorel unique experiences in life. One of them is the study of brewing tea from culture to culture. He likes to entertain those interested with various techniques and history of tea brewing. If it sounds as dry as you think it does, it probably as as dry as you think it is.

Wood Carving -

While true Viorel probably never needed the skill of wood carving, he finds personal peace in the activity. And by understanding how wood carving is naturally done, it gives an authenticity to his artifact manipulation that could not match by others who manipulate artifacts. There is a sincerity because this is a knowledge Viorel has physical experience with.

Sewing and Knitting -

Many of his puppets clothing and materials were made by himself. Thus Viorel is effective at sewing and knitting.

Hobbies:

Storytelling -

A marionettes true calling is to bring back the stories that people heard from their mother and fathers to life. Viorel loves to tell people stories and he’ll often take them up on request as well. He enjoys the love and joy it places into others. He enjoys that it inspires others.

Reading -

It doesn’t really matter what genre, though Viorel enjoys fantasy only to criticize that it wasn’t like that in his times, but a good storyteller needs to research his material before performing it.



Weapon: Needles, they are technically sewing needles, but they do go nicely into soft parts of people’s skin if need be.

Equipment: Emergency sewing kit, bits of fabric, and bits of string usually. If he has to fix a jerkin, or has to fix the helm of a knight’s skirt. Most of this is carried in his Figurine case, in the bottom compartment, and his puppets are held in the center compartment with a viewing window.



Fighting Style: Puppeteer Waltz - Viorel is not going to be doing backflips and fighting with swords. Though he conducts his puppets like a conductor conducts an orchestra. Simple swaying hand motions and slight footsteps if need be when needing to get out of the way. His hand motions are elegant, and soft, they are not boisterous, or dramatic. But in the dark illuminated by a faint psychic string few could see they could say that he looks like an elegant swan.

Strength: Viorel doesn’t possess any super strength or anything like that. People would assume an autonomous puppet man might have more strength than a human, but the reality of the situation is that he’s quite average in the strength department. Viorel is not mean to make damage either, he doesn’t do too well taking strong blows from others. He doesn't have good resistance and can easily break with the right amount of strength.

Endurance: Physically Viorel’s endurance is pretty shit, he has average running speed, he has average strength and average endurance in survival situations or sustaining wounds. Though mentally Viorel can expel psychic energy with little effort, as his psychic energy drains his stamina he has had to spend the years honing enduring how long he can hold his psychic control to his puppets. And how to expel psychic energy without completely draining himself of energy.

Willpower: This is probably the department Viorel excels at the most. Not only does he stand strong no matter the circumstance, it is difficult to break Viorel. That and he is immune to telepathy and other mental abilities. Something about him they cannot quite read or break through. Maybe because Viorel doesn’t necessarily “think” like the rest of us. It’s more an instinct or feeling that drives Viorel, or a motivation. He is not easy to break and he’d be the last to break mentally.

Speed: Another area where Viorel is merely average at best.

Reaction Speed: Viorel is quick enough to react at least to escape harm's way or know when to retreat. Probably one of the few areas Viorel is exceptional at. He’s probably even better than Myles. His psychic energy gives him a feeling. It’s not something he notices with his eyes, but the aura given off from others.



Name of Ability: Storyteller

Class: Psychic

Character Theme: I am no devil worshipper. Once my puppets brought joy into the lives of those who wanted to see their stories they loved come to life. Then my puppets brought despair when hysteria spread like wildfire, words like diablo. Now I am surrounded by melancholy, a puppet master on the cover of some modern movie, he is a serial killer. A puppet master on the cover of some comic book, he is a villain. Perhaps, we can no longer bring people joy. Though maybe we can inspire them once again. To show them the old tales. Knights and wizards come alive to protect them by a puppet master.

Ability Capabilities: It is difficult to condense Viorel’s ability into a few short sentences. In a nutshell someone could consider his ability as mere artifact manipulation. Though the more complicated explanation is that Viorel can imbue inanimate objects with psychic energy which gives the capability of controlling those objects in various ways. Some weirder in ways than others.
Qualities of Capabilities:

So what does Artifact Manipulation mean exactly? For Viorel it is controlling his puppets with psychic energy that connects him to the artifact. This gives Viorel a few abilities that he utilizes. A better word for his puppets are automatons. His psychic energy is almost the equivalent to say uploading software to a computer. A puppet comes “programmed” with the idea of its “design”. They have limited willpower and limited sense of self, so that way Viorel doesn’t have to give them direct orders at all times in combat. It is part instinct and part conducted.

First we have to understand the fundamentals. His puppets do not have sentience. They have awareness of their function, but that is about it. They can only move when Viorel imbues them with his psychic energy. They have instinct, but not quite willpower. We’re not having a puppet uprising anytime soon.

Psychic Strings -

These are the fundamentals of Viorel’s control. They are the strings of life, they are strings that are attached to the puppets psychic imprint. The psychic imprint left by him when he designed the object that he so wished to control.

Psychic Storage -

Another fundamental of Viorel’s is to store his psychic energy into the objects that he so wil control later on. The reason why his puppets are so lifelike is due to the energy stored inside of them that gets them to act more than puppets. He can transfer his energy into the object he so desires to connect to his psychic wires. This psychic transfer also has a genetic memory inside of it, it’s what gives the puppet an idea or instinct of what it is supposed to do.

Artifact Compression -

This is Viorel’s secret to transporting a large amount of puppets, that are not quite all puppet size. He can compress artifacts into a smaller form. Though he can only bring them back to their original size. He cannot make them bigger than what they were.

Psychic Making -

It had been mentioned before that Viorel really didn’t need to learn wood carving. Actually many of his more outrageous shaped puppets have been molded and crafted through physical materials like wood, but with his psychic energy. As long as Viorel has an image in mind of what he wants to design, his psychic energy can carve it out of the material in front of it. Like the 1100 century version of a 3D printer several hundred years before 3D printers.

Life Puppet -

If you ever wanted to know the secret of Viorel’s longevity it is this technique that he has accepted in its use. A blank puppet with no name, given no purpose, lies in runic symbols, and is fed psychic energy over the months, maybe even years, till one day it is given the capability of life. That life in a ritual that brings Viorel back from the death will be performed. A ritual that Viorel only bestowed on his wife Gemina. A responsibility he will not ask of his New Breed children. It requires his blood of his fresh dead corpse to be drained into the puppet and his heart placed in the chest that remains open to accept his still beating heart. The requires another energy to complete the ritual. This Life Puppet in emergencies can only be performed once a year. It requires too many components for it to be effective form of thwarting death all the time.

With heart, blood, and his psychic energy living inside of it the puppet becomes alive. It is said that it is this ritual witnessed once that inspired the tales of Pinocchio.

Strengths of Abilities:

This is probably what you were waiting for. The puppets to this ability. We can talk all day about how he makes puppets, but if he has no puppets it wouldn’t be his theme nor his strength. The strength in his ability is merely the imagination it takes to work out various skills of combats. Viorel has the capability of controlling 10 puppets though it is a taxing feat. He chooses not to, favoring tactic and strategy choosing suitable pieces for suitable situations rather than maxing out on numbers.







*Goblin Notes: The Goblin in the Jester outfit named Blinky. It is named Blinky because that's the name it calls itself. See Blinky is not actually one of Viorel's puppets, everyone thinks Blinky is a puppet, but the reality of the situation is something as far back as several several several, you get the picture, centuries ago Blinky the Goblin mistook Viorel's Goblin Puppets as real. Declaring itself King of the Pack. Blinky still hasn't noticed his friends don't move when Viorel isn't controlling them. Nor does anyone think Blinky will catch on. Viorel notes; Goblins are slow aging, but not ageless, and they cannot tell time it really was only the 1760s, more like the 1780s that he came to me. Blinky redacts; thatsa longah ago. Viorel; not really. Blinky redacts; bah hoomany thingy dusn't know dates. Viorel; that would be you.

















Weaknesses of Ability:

While psychic energy accompanies the mind, it also accompanies the body it takes stamina to hold and control another being. It takes concentration and focus to control the massive amount of individuals Viorel has to control. Each having different strategies and steal having to slightly command them on how to work with one another. While Viorel is not a complainer it can leave him stress migraines, and make him feel drained and tired from the ordeal. It’s also very possible he can drain himself of his energy if he strains his abilities too far to the max. No one of the New Breeds knows what it really takes to jump from one Tier to the next. Is it maxing out your powers at every opportunity? Is it holding back? Viorel has a habit of holding back, mostly probably due to the pressure it puts on his head and how tired it makes him feel afterward.

Maxing himself out on his ability leaves him too drained to do much of anything and there is quite the possibility of Viorel dying if he drains himself too much of his energy. His life is not necessarily sustained by a life force, but only held together by his own psychic energy. With a combination of holding himself back with how much power he is capable versus how much power he exerts, Viorel has a habit of coming into battles underpowered at first. He likes to take the cautious approach. He’s prone to partial seizures as well, he’ll talk to you fine, and doesn’t lose conscious, it might be the shaking of his hand he cannot control, or the shaking of his leg. To anyone who doesn’t know Viorel it might look like restlessness. In reality his powers due put a toll on him.

Limitations of Ability:

There are still some heavy limitations to Viorel’s abilities. While yes in total he can have 7 goblins this is not within context of a dragon. He cannot have 7 goblins and 1 dragon. Instead it is more like 2 goblins and a dragon. But he can split the cost of an Orc and a Dragon, but that’s ridiculous amount of power and exertion on his part. Any creature like a drake or dragon with extra abilities like fire breath expends psychic energy. The drake or the dragon are not technically producing these effects themselves, they are producing them through whatever energy Viorel must expel to make them do so. It’s psychic fire, or psychic gas. But Viorel cannot do these things outside of controlling those creatures.

A lot of Viorel’s ability is calculative management. It’s managing what you need beforehand and costing as little energy as possible to achieve. His abilities and his puppets work in combination with each other, but different combinations are too expensive and have a massive impact on himself later on. While the combinations are near endless. Numbers are limited and in short supply with how much he could feasibly handle.

Viorel cannot control anything else with his psychic strings, unless it has his psychic signature inside of it. Because what Viorel controls is not the object itself, but is manipulating the energy stored inside the object.



Biograph

Quotes:

“There are many interpretations of God it seems over the years. He is either represented extremely flawed or extremely pure. I think it is because a power that grand and in the scope of the universe is not something people can truly fathom. That kind of knowledge is not that bestowed on mere mortals. Even as a New Breed I probably do not understand God’s plight. However, I do know that the best interpretation I have is that God is a role model with exemplary behaviors that should be looked at and used in one’s behavior. I do not want perfect beings without their flaws though, then you have lost what it means to be human. I simply believe living in a Godly manner is one where an individual strives for godly behaviors like compassion, charity, mixed in with the things that make them individuals.”

“I think knowledge is a fool’s errand. Those with knowledge flaunt it and those without it believe they have it. I am not saying that one cannot be wise nor am I saying one cannot have knowledge. I believe though that both the ones with knowledge and the ones without ultimately fall into the same pitfall. One believes others are beneath them. Another believes others should follow them. I believe that true knowledge is recognizing that you always will know less than others and always strive for learning more.”

“I am no representative of a group of people. To say that I have more knowledge than the individuals themselves have about themselves is ultimately disrespectful. I will provide general knowledge and education, but anything you want to know about a individual or more in depth knowledge you will have to ask them. I refuse to give out information I don’t have the answer to.”

“It is fascinating to watch the growth of technology. I am still unsure how they manage within the last few years to compress CDs to fit on MP3 players.”

Reputation:

Living for 900 years has its perks, Viorel is actually well known at least in the shadows. There have been findings and recordings of him throughout history. Though no one really knew the man up to the start of recording devices. Now Viorel has become somewhat of a public face, despite him not wanting to. He blames Angelica for that. As Viorel doesn’t care to speak for the needs of so many. He doesn’t believe he has any grander wisdom than anybody else. He sees what he does know as common sense that is otherwise ignored or not understood by them. He believes everyone is capable of the knowledge he bestows.

Those who know his work respect him. Those who follow him love him like a father. Viorel tries his hardest, but doesn’t seek reverence. Nor does he care to be. He wants everyone to be capable of their own advice and knowledge.

Battle Themes -

























I am always fully committed to the RPs I create. I will never abandon or leave my members, I try to keep them as up to date about my current situation. Sometimes emergencies things happen, but I will always find ways to inform you. I declare that I will not abandon or leave this RP and am fully committed into placing the time and effort into this RP. I will never abandon this project and continually try to give you the best damn writing experience there ever has been.

Stumbling into his car, he fought the urge to barf. The world bending, warping, misshapen. Dizzy enough to feel like a captain on high seas.

“Shuld...u be drinkin…”a woman, blonde hair, the smell of apples, tipsy, trying to keep herself balanced on his passenger side car door, she laughs, “mean….drivin.”

“Jus fun,” he replies.

She laughs and gets in the passenger seat. She pukes at the edge of the car door before getting in. He fiddles with the keys. Scratch marks on the ignition evidence he was a professional at this. As the car engine began to roar he began to drive. The world a beautiful, blur, at high speeds, down a winding road. Passing tall shapes, like monsters that stood before them. The forest that breathed life into shadows. Shadelin Forest, haunted history, blood soaked into the earth. The city far out in dizzying lights. Little gems of neon. Man made temples to Gods they rejected. Zooming. Passing clouds. 30 mph. Hard turn. 40 mph. Twisting. 50 mph. Foot on the pedal. Animal eyes. 60 mph. Tight turn. 80 mph. Hard break. 100 mph.

Screeching of the wheels. Lost of power. First they are in the clouds, soaring to the sky. As they begin to tumble down the side of an edge. Shattering glass. Bending metal. Broken bones. What was hollering of an excitement and adrenaline became feminine shrills of terror. Tumbling. Shaking. Vertigo.

The world is upside down. Trees like giants, standing above in judgment. Blood dripping. Earth began to awaken. Still comprehending the world, though barely, as a skeleton hand rose from the ground. This all had to be because of the crash? Hallucination, perhaps?

Tragic Accident Kills Two - Animals Ravage Body


March 9th, 2017

“Last night a car overturned at this very spot, descending down into the forest below,” correspondent Laura Lin says, “Their car came tumbling down to this very tree.”

An upside down car is shown, squashed, metal bent, though the unusual bit is the giant hole next to the car that no one is going to mention.

“The two individuals have been identified as Blaire Swift, and Michael Holmes,” she says, “Eye witnesses who found the corpse say their body was ravaged by animals.”

A flashy title screen passes and transitions to two individuals standing staring at the camera.

“Their skin was all leathery and mummified like something drained them of all their blood,” says Scott Dales towards the camera.

It shows Laura Lin standing next to the giant hole once again no mention.

“We mourn and grieve for this tragic lost of life,” Laura says looking sadly at the camera, “I’m Laura Lin. We’ll have more for you later that six o’clock news.”

Today - March 9th, 2017 - 10:00 am


Today in West London the active members of SYNBAD are getting ready for an important day in their seven years of activity. Central London has invited them to a New Breed Pride Ceremony they have declared SYNBAD anniversary day. Little do they know that today is going to get weird. As it tends to do.





Earlier that morning 2 am - South London

How many years had it been since she had been in that place? A corpse in rags, exposed muscle with a bluish tinge to it. Her corpsed shambled searching for the next prey. Drunkards who awoke her was not enough to recover the beauty of her body. She needed a beautiful girl. Seymora groaned to herself as she dragged her muscular heels on the road. It looked very different from when she were alive, she recognized this. All this had been once part of the forest. Now there was a road, it smelled fresh of a chemical she had no word of. Blinding lights blurred her weakened and poor vision, but she smelled from the rumbling beast that stopped in front of her, the scent of a feminine hormones. Her prey. Beautiful girls, to feel pain.

“Check this out,” an accent she never heard before, “Nice makeup freak.”

She gurgled out a response; you are a fool to mock me.

He laughs, and begins to make sounds like he’s choking.

“Come on Dawn,” says the female, “let’s go.”

“Hold up, lemme take a picture,” Dawns says.

As he extends out his hand she reaches for it, catching his wrist. He was a nice plaything, though he would do her no good. She snaps his wrist. It snaps like a branch and he cries out. Like the man thing he is. The girl screams.

“Dawn!” she shouts, running out of the beast with blinding eyes towards the man, “This isn’t funny anymore.”

She gurgles once more a response; Fun? Oh poor dear. I’ll make you suffer.
“I don’t know what that even means!” the girl shouts, “Just let us go!” she pleads. Ah yes she loved when the little girls pleaded to her. She hadn’t a hold on the female, she could go any time she pleases, she enjoys when they try to run from her.

Throwing the man onto the ground, she strides over to the female. Who despite shouting is frozen as she gets near. Stroking her cheek with a muscular hand, of sinewy ligaments, and an exposed heart.

She gurgles; I’ll take your beauty precious thing.

Placing underdeveloped undefined lips onto the beautiful girls lips she began to kiss her. Teeth rubbing across the girls’ chin as she dryly kissed her with teeth. She had no lips to fully please the girl, but the young girl trembled paralyzed into fear. Seymora screamed suddenly as she lifted her head up, biting into the girls neck and ripping out her jugular. Blood splattered onto the road she had no name for, its warmness splattered on her muscular body, crimson bleeding profusely down the girls neck, the man thing screams, “SANDY! What have you…”

He pauses. She feels her skin begin to crawl. Skin, yes. She has skin. Though it’s not enough. This Sandy wasn’t beautiful enough. In his ocular orbs, she were an old lady with straggly hair and wrinkly skin even after enjoying her drink.

“You boy,” she belts out.

“...what….are you!” Dawn’s voice trembles.

“I am Seymora,” she stands tall despite being an aging, crippling old woman, she sensually rubs her body, as if she were sexier and more beautiful than he could ever imagine.

He tries to run towards the car. She just trips him quickly.

“Ooo poor dear, no, you will control your beast for me, and take me where I want to go,” she says, “Or else I’ll give you a little kiss too.” she tells him, rubbing her nail under his chin. Visible revulsion is seen on his face though she doesn’t care.

Dawn visibly scared, as men meat often were, sweat running down his forehead. He wipes his brow, and tries to smile. Though nervously so.

“Wh-ere….would….you….li...like to go ma’am?” Dawn replies.

“Mmmm, yes, I like when a man calls me ma’am and realizes his place,” she says tickling the under of his chin like he were a cat, “I need girls, pretty young girls. You’ll make a perfect servant.”

“Sandy….and….I….were….were...going to a party…..there’s plenty of pretty girls there,” Dawn stutters.

“Mmmm, perfect, sounds yummy,” she says.

She points to his beast.

“Escort me,” she says.

“Yes….” even with a broken wrist, he runs to the passenger side of the caravan and opens the door for her. She was impressed they had managed to breed horses with wagons, she wasn’t going to complain or ask questions.

He gets on what she presumes is the driver’s side with a weird extra wheel and dangling chimes in a slot. How long had it been?



Scotland Yard New Breed Affairs division has only been formally recognized in the last four years, but unofficially running for the last seven. After one woman, Angelica Harper declared West London’s very own Shepherd Fire Station as home to New Breeds in the city. This RP starts on March 9th, 2017, the seven anniversary of this declaration.

This RP is a crime based mystery RP with supernatural powers. Members of SYNBAD solve cases, follow the breadcrumb, and if need be off the evil that has caused a string of criminal activities. Not all badguys go in cuffs.

The Premise of this RP will be 18+. Lemme define what that means. While I will be allowing relationships to mature and grow, I will not be accepting grotitatious erotica in this RP. Fade to black, or some classy tasteful words like pulled her panties down and kissed her thighs then a fade to black is all we need. This RP is 18+ because of its depiction of drugs, violence albeit campy at times with gallons of blood that shouldn’t be realistically possible, and use of language. This and I repeat is not an Erotica RP.

The genres this RP compiles is crime drama mystery horror action with a dash of slice of life and romance. We will have plenty of times to do both, because I love to flesh out both aspects of an individuals lives.

Activity in this RP is Case by Case. This RP has No Overarching plot or main plot. So an individual who cannot do Case 2 only needs to write they opt out of Case 2 or Case 3 or whatever it may be. This I think will help keep this RP fresh and allow members who are busier to duck out, but not ruin the flow of the RP. You may sign in to any case you like, but anyone who forfeits a Case will also forfeit their write to write any involvement in that case. You may update something small and mundane if you like.

Meaning; Your Character is Only Active to the Case If You Do Not Opt out of the Case. Your character is still in the RP. I simply means you’re skipping this rounds Case.

I will compile a list of active characters for each case.

This RP will always be accepting new applications because of the Case by Case nature of this RP. Where members can freely come and go and set their characters activity.

However! I reserve the right to kick anyone out of this RP if they choose to never be active in Cases. And Case 1 is non optional. Those who have been accepted in this RP must accept Case 1. And those that apply later must at least have 1 Case they must do non optional.

For those who have been accepted. This is your last chance to get out now. I am sorry if I am coming off a bit harsh, but I have had too many RPs I’ve wanted to complete, end finish, where people have left. I will not accept nor will I tolerate it. So before posting your character in the Character Tab selection after being approved. On the OOC I’d like your written statement that you will commit to this RP, and commit means;

To show effort and interest in this RP at the Best of MY Abilities

To communicate as effectively as I CAN

And recognize by the GM accepting this character and allowing me in this RP I am upholding my end of the bargain in agreeing to be involved in this RP
This is your written agreement. Once you make this statement, I’m upholding it. I am hoping with this honoring system that it gets you to think before you commit to an RP.

Since this RP is freely about actively making your characters active or inactive, I am hoping that’s enough leeway and compromise to keep you all interested. You will in the future be able to make your own villains and make your own Cases and I hope that interest you enough as well to continue and make this RP a fun and enjoyable place for all.



While this may not possibly be the most popular way of doing things, this RP will be utilizing a Tier System. There will be 10 Tiers in this RP that classify a New Breeds power level. These Tiers are what the system use to determine a threat level of New Breeds. The Max Tier any current player can be in this RP is Tier 5 for now. There may be opportunities to learn and gain new powers. *It should be noted that a New Breed possess one branch of power. So if you’re a Telepath don’t also be given them super strength. Powers should kind of fit a theme of the type of character you want. I am writing the tiers as a generalization of what kind of powers you will find in these tiers.

Tier 1: You’re practically human with something strange about you. Whether it being a savant skill. Or some kind of understanding the world in a way regular humans cannot.

Tier 2: You’re more than an average human being. Albeit you’re still weaker than many of the higher tier breeds. These kind of abilities encompass supernatural physical abilities usually. Something like Enhanced Strength or Enhanced Endurance. Though we’re not talking Hulk levels of these. These often encompass basic capabilities that make you slightly above average.

Tier 3: This is where you start getting into the weird. Your powers are more supernatural. You may possess a strength level further than those in the tier 2 branch. Things like being able to stop family size sedans. This is also where you start to see strong mental powers. Such as telepathy and telekinesis.

Tier 4: These individuals are often beyond human capabilities. They encompass more the weird, the wonderful. Stronger forms of telekinesis, telepathy, magic, etc. This is where the New Breeds stop being human and start being something beyond.

Tier 5: These are the unique. The weird. These abilities are often stronger and less common than their other counterparts. They encompass powers beyond the basic capabilities. Basically this is where things get out of the box from here. It should be noted that strength in this case means an increase in range or potency or capability of the individual. Not it’s literal strength, but general strength.

This is Where You Stop - Tier 5 is the Highest a Player Can Go for Now


Tier 6: A New Breed at Tier 6 is no longer classified as human. Their abilities are often not something that can be measured in the scopes determinability that Tier 5 can be classified. These abilities are often unique and are not easily measured as “telepathy” or “kinesis”. This is Tier 5 elevated not only in its general strength, but it’s literal strength.

Tier 7: Upgraded Tier 6 and Tier 5. This is a further enhancement of those abilities presented in those individuals.

Tier 8: Upgraded Tier 6, 7, and 5. Nothing of significance more efficiency, more potency, more strength, more mastery, and maybe a new ability is open up to their knowledge.

Tier 9: Upgraded Tier 5, 6, 7, and 8. All capabilities are known to you, less drawbacks, and less weaknesses. Some abilities may no longer have consequences they use to have. Master Level of ability.

Tier 10: Demigod level of power. This is where you’ll find individuals who have cosmic abilities, abilities that affect the future, past and present. These are abilities with near finite regeneration levels or the ability to circumvent death with little consequence. That doesn’t mean invulnerable though and there are still laws and rules that bind these individuals to mortality as others. Even those at this level are not invincible to damage and defeat.

This world does have some laws and rules to the abilities. There will be no omnipotent abilities, no absolute powers, and there is no true immortality. Also an individual cannot infinitely recover from harm over and over and over again. While consequences may be limited in some individuals, even Tier 10 can be killed even if their abilities seemingly have no consequences, they are simply limited in how they affect an individual.

@Bai Suzhen

I’d really like to throw it out there at I firstly love Morag. I think that it is a unique concept to give this kind of power often given to fat slovenous man to a beautiful attractive woman. Something about that really works for me and really appeals to me and I really want to accept Morag, but we need to work on somethings before I can even do that.

Tier: I'd suggest lowering her down to a Tier 3 due to her ability being so linearly focused with her metabolism.

Appearance, where did height and weight go? I need at least those. Though this section could use some polish, however, I am not going to force it upon you.

Personality:

A cross between playful and professional, ready with a quip but not about to let it get in the way of what needs to be done. Has something of a chip on her shoulder about New Breed discrimination, believing it to be why she was never accepted into the police. She likes to be prepared for situations.


I am going to say that this really undercuts the woman I have seen in the non canon RP. I’d like to see more personality in here because at this point this is really limiting on what the character could be. It’s sparse in details and frankly doesn’t give me a sense of a nuanced individual.

Skills: Training in criminology, forensics, investigation etc.


This is not acceptable in anyway. I don’t do list, especially when they add in etc. You need to define these skills more. How far her training in criminology was, her area of focus, how she performs this, etc. ←-see, etc. doesn’t belong in a skill section. These are ways to flesh out your characters knowledge and even these skills close to her non mundane existence and they don’t seem connected much to her mundane lifestyle. Where’s the “i like to fold laundry”.Once again this is where you can get creative and create the sense of a person.

Fighting Style: LHA-taught mixed martial arts. A simple but effective brawling style for those with enhanced abilities.


Who is teaching this? When? Viorel cannot teach martial arts. Most of the people in SYNBAD use their own set of enhancement of style to correlate with their fighting style. And even this description of the style is barebones and sparse and lacking detail. Hasn’t told us how it works, what are the techniques used, etc.

Strength: Above human - push a parked car or crack concrete with a kick

Endurance: Above human - Heals quickly, can shrug off punches that would KO a human, stamina further enhanced by ability.

Willpower: Good, but within human range.

Speed: Above human - Can sprint on par with a bicycle, and maintain for extended periods

Reaction Speed: Above human - can't catch a bullet, but has a decent chance of dodging if she can see the gun


First off, these belong in the Combat Information section per the sheet format was written. In this case it keeps things organized. The main meat of this, is that this isn’t necessarily good. Once again you don’t add the detail needed. Strength for example, she can push a car or crack concrete with a kick. But you don’t further define this. Probably I should have clarified more these categories though they seemed obvious. Strength isn’t about offense it’s about the physical defense. Endurance has a lot to do with stamina and sustainability as well as healing. But the taking a punch should be moved into Strength. Willpower needs further defining. The whole section needs more than single sentence to convey a range of function.

Character Theme:
Physical Enhancement

Ability Capabilities:
Extreme Metabolism/Internal Alchemy


As I defined in the character sheet, character theme is the gimmick they present. And it is the combination of all combat skills and abilities and how they combine it together that paint the picture of their theme.. So is her ability metabolism or is her ability physical enhancement? Because this is how this world works. Fire is fire, it cannot be water, and cannot make people wet as well as be fire. Ability Capabilities should read more like;

With her extreme metabolism she has an internal alchemy that allows her to do [insert whatever it is]

Qualities of Ability: Morag can metabolise anything. If she eats, breathes, injects or otherwise takes it into her body it is quickly and safely broken down to fuel her and her powers. Some things have more energy than others, so she can still become exhausted by extended activity, but consuming something rich in energy quickly refreshes her. She is capable of breathing underwater, enduring vacuum by snacking, and breaking down large foreign bodies such as bullets to heal without a scar.

Most of what Morag eats goes towards replenishing her energy, letting her go all out for extended periods, which is often misinterpreted as a 'Popeye's spinach' effect.

Morag's mouth is much stronger than the rest of her. She can bite through a reinforced rod she struggled to bend with her hands and comfortably drink acids that would have burned her skin. The explanation for this is currently classified as 'magic' as tests haven't discovered anything abnormal in her saliva etc.

As a side effect, she is immune to poisons, drugs and alcohol, and enjoys the taste of things that would leave a human gagging. She'll drink bleach for fun.

Morag's powers manifested when she was a baby, and would leave bite marks in her crib. Her enhanced physical attributes have also been slowly increasing, from being an exceptionally athletic child through a mildly superhuman tween, to reach her current level. She is still growing at a slow and steady rate, and will likely be exceptionally long-lived, as much as anything about a New Breed power can be predicted.

-snip-


Same comment as I made above. I gave you the categories to plug this in, because right now I cannot follow what is a strength or weakness. My categories give me an ability to organize information and categorize it appropriately. With that said, I did state above, I want to know directly how her metabolism affects her to give her physical enhancement? Is it only after she eats things, etc? And if that’s the case then her combat information would need to be reworked. Though I’ll be honest and say without the categories I am having trouble following along.

Before SYNBAD Morag got a minor mention in a local newspaper for having a part-time job at a dump, eating non-recyclable waste. It still shows up if you google her.

Morag's first job with LHA to make the news was a 'silly season' headline in which she foiled a villainous bomber's scheme by eating the explosives. To her dismay, this was all the paper focused on and not her investigative work tracking him down, or even her soundbites about being a part of LHA. To make things worse, it was before she had picked a codename, and the journalists took this as an opportunity to get creative. The name 'Snack Attack' still follows her around, despite being officially 'Foundry'.

One thing Morag brought to LHA when she moved in was her childhood stuffed animal. Kevlar Kevin is a stuffed bear made of kevlar, and stuffed with ball bearings. It was specially ordered by her parents, and was one of the few toys Morag couldn't accidentally destroy or eat with her powers at the time.

From a gossip magazine: Star Spotters! Sharon from Peckham sent in this pic of local heroine Foundry out for a snack attack with a smoking stranger! Is London's caped crimebuster club recruiting, or is this the start of a romantic relationship? (Pictured is Morag at a Priceo Coffee with another Newbreed made of smoke. The article ended up killing their fledgling romance, as the smoke-girl was not prepared for the increased scrutiny)

I’m going to be extremely blunt and straightforward, but this comes off very lazy. You didn’t write any of the actual interviews, which I think they help define the character and give them more personability. And while I asked you to get these clips up, I didn’t necessarily mean rush the Biography. Just meant to get them up.

All in all I see potential in Morag and want her to be the best she can be. I really want her in this RP. Super bad, but these glaring spots I cannot ignore.
Me and @AngelofOctober are doing a collab post


That we are indeed doing.
@Burning Kitty

The personality is a non personality. I don’t know who she is as a person.

A true tactician and firm believer in the teachings of her father. She was also very reverent of her father. She planned her missions carefully and patiently, considering every angle to ensure the best chance of success. If necessary she would adopt jump into the situation without carefully and patiently planning her missions, when this was necessary she survived because she was very good at thinking on her feet.


True tactician, how? What are her father’s teaching? “Perception is reality” “An eye for an eye” Second sentences sounds more like a summary of her actions or what she does. She was very good at thinking on her feet? She isn’t now? This needs another lookout and needs to have more meat on its bones.

Skills: Blending, Eavesdropping, Freerunning, Interrogation, Lockpicking, Social Stealth, Swimming, Whistling


Skills are to be relatively non combat related, if they tie somehow into the mundane parts of their life, then you need to write in how. Like I put Viorel is a tactical thinker, but how it affects him in the mundane parts of his life. These skills need defining, because even they have limitations to their function. This is a list.

Hobbies: cats


What does this even mean? Is she a vet technician when not working for SYNBAD? Is she a cat breeder? Is she a crazy cat lady collector? Does she train cats?

Weapons: Throwing knives, dual gauntlets with built in brass knuckles and hidden blades, kukri

Equipment: smoke bombs, each gauntlet has a rope launcher

Fighting Style: Stealth elimination: the killing of a target without drawing attention of anyone who could pose a threat


Another list, but no explanation in how she uses it. And that fighting style makes absolutely no sense. I noticed the Baritsu. But Stealth Elimination? That is the vaguest explanation of a fighting style. How? What methods and techniques and the limitations? Etc.

Ability Information:
Name of Ability: Assassin’s Dogma

Class: Psychic

Character Theme: Stealth

Ability Capabilities & Qualities:
Assassin’s vision: able to instinctively sense how people and objects relate to them, which manifests as a colored glow, much like an aura. Red indicates enemies or spilled blood, blue indicates allies, white indicates sources of information or hiding spots, and gold indicates targets or objects of interest.

Invisibility

Healing

Strengths of Ability:
Assassin’s vision: grows more powerful with use. She can mark targets and see them through walls.

Invisibility: activated automatically

Healing: activated automatically

Weaknesses & Limitations of Ability:
Assassin’s Vision: it is not infallible, if someone presents as a friend completely hiding their true intentions they will not have a red aura. Cannot run while in use, if they run it turns off.

Invisibility: Only works when crouched and still and takes a few moments, automatically becomes visible when bumped into or when in motion

Healing: it takes time and only when not physically engaged in life or death scenarios.


This whole thing doesn’t relate to a Tier 5. Tier 3 or 4 more than likely and I’d go with Tier 3 to be perfectly honest with you. Invisibility and Healing would need some rework. How much time does Healing take a minute? What level of healing are we talking here? Major or minor wounds? What about severe wounds how would they affect her? You cannot just write down a sentence and expect this to be considered clearly defined for abilities.

Invisibility “works when crouched” sounds a bit silly like a video game and I’ll be honest it can be reworked that she has chameleon like skin and can sort of change her skin to the environment around here, but out in the open she cannot go invisible. I don’t make invisibility interesting because right now, it’s not. The only part of the abilities that I find actually clever and interesting is the Assassin eye and the ability to mark her targets with a psychic aura she can only see. I also said that powers are to be specialized into a branch. So how does Invisibility and Healing relate to the assassin eye?

This is not a world where a New Breed is Superman and gets super strength and Xray vision and frost breath and heat ray vision. Their mutations are specifically specialized in a focus or area that fits their theme.

Biography

Quote: there is no quote

Reputation: non-existent

Theme Song: there is no theme song


I get where you’re trying to go with this. But the biography comes off hokey and nonsensical. Quotes are still required and so is a theme song. I don’t mind the non existent reputation as much, but the other two things are needed.

What this character needs is a breakdown and some flesh to their character. They need to be plausible, breathable and more focused. I’ll be honest with some of the skills you could cut them down to about half. I don’t do power play. I ask for this level of detail so that way if someone explodes someone’s leg off, you can’t say “my leg heals” like magic.
