The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP

Theeeere we go. Posted, and went ahead and started an interaction. >.> Mist and Anon, now able to talk. Why? Because plot and character interaction defy logic! Of -course- two crazy superhumans have the chances of parkouring in the same neighborhood at the same time in viewing distance of one another in the massive city of LA. What do you -mean- it's irrational? Silly.

The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP

Jackson, better known as Mist in the mercenary underground, found his day to be just as boring as it always seemed to be. Nothing to do, no jobs to handle, no crazy people to smack.... It was almost excruciating, how bored he felt. But of course, in a world like this, fate never let a man stay bored for long. Always, there was an accidental run-in, a glance, a job. -Something- always came up, no matter what he might be doing. Today, that proved to be running rooftops out of idle boredom.

And as luck would have it, he was in the same neighborhood as a familiar face.... Well, familiar mask, at least. He was in the air between a pair of houses when he caught a glimpse of Anonymous in that silly outfit of his jumping a few roofs over, and a grin crossed his features. To bug him, or not to bug him..... Always, that is the question! It seemed he decided on the former, however, as just before he landed on the next roof, he just.... Vanished. Poof. Gone, naught but a quickly-fading cloud of mist in his wake. And a bare blink later? He reappeared on another roof some street or so away, right beside Anonymous. Even, humorous tones leeched forth as he idly straightened out his duster, lofting a brow.
"Still wearing that ridiculous outfit then, little Anon?"

While the words might seem a bit harsh, the light humor in his tone softened them, more a gruff tease than an outright insult. After all, Mist would never miss his chance to make fun of people in costumes! Such a silly idea.

*Glances in* Oh hi. I'm still here and all. I've just had nothing to say. Just... Letting you know. *Nodnod*

Mist would be a Merc, predictably. Glad to see the OOC up and running.

Rumi, you are now my favorite person in this thread.

The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP

I do hope I'm not too late in joining. ^^

Mist/Jackson

Name:
Jackson Vurweigh

Alias(s):
Mist

Age:
49

Affiliations:
N/A (Merc type.)

Description:

That is, essentially, what he looks like. He stands at 6'1" and weighs in fairly heavy due to muscle and bone density, rather than fat. He tends to wear fairly casual clothing, t-shirts, hoodies, jeans and hiking boots, usually. Though "On the job" he has taken to wearing a dark black duster, simply for appearance's sake. Otherwise, he doesn't bother to conceal his identity in any manner with costumes, finding the idea silly. Besides, spandex seems.... Uncomfortable, to him.

Powers:
"Mist" has what initially seems to be a pretty low-ranking, common set of abilities. Mainly; Hyper senses. Smell, hearing, sight, touch, taste- All of them advanced far beyond normal levels. He could, for instance, identify people from several meters away by smell alone, or hear a pin drop in a crowded area, were he to focus on it. Linking to his advanced senses are somewhat more minor boosts in his natural agility and strength. Nothing obscene, but he's certainly faster than one might expect, and stronger.

While it hasn't been confirmed, some suspect he also doesn't age, simply due to the fact that he still moves like a man at his peak, despite being nearly fifty.

But, his most notable ability is what gives him his Alias as a merc- Mist. Quite simply, he is capable of "Vanishing" and reappearing some distance off, always leaving a black-and-purple, mist-like substance in his wake. More or less- Teleporting. This only works for distances up to about a city block at a time, though he can do it in rapid succession when shorter distances are crossed. Like a few meters across a room. Repeatedly. He must be able to -see- where he is jumping to go there. If he tries to warp somewhere he can't see, he'll just end up slamming face-first into a wall.

Skills:
While Mist's powers alone are quite useful for combat-related situations, particularly in his own style, he does need skills in the norm to be as effective as he is.

Most prominently, a lifetime of practice has led him to be exceptionally skilled in parkour and his own CQC style, a mish-mash of various martial arts and improvised ass-kicking, often utilizing the weaknesses of human anatomy in the process. Add a natural skill with handgun marksmanship and you have everybody's dream assassin. Though for some reason he's never gotten a handle on rifles...

He's also a damn good cook, and his reflexes in and out of combat situations make him an -excellent- stunt driver. Never try to follow him onto a freeway. Never.

Equipment:
He doesn't wear much in the way of equipment, really. Other than his weapons, he quite literally walks around doing his business in every-day clothing.

His weapons are fairly light and simple, all worn at a belt at his waist. A holster in the small of his back for a pistol, with several spaces for spare clips beside it. He varies the pistol and ammo he carries depending on the task at hand. He also carries a pair of Bowie knives on each thigh, the sheaths hanging from his belt. The knives are kept at a razor edge, sharp enough to pierce Kevlar, and strong enough to not shatter when impacting bone. There is also a pouch at his belt, holding a small variety of fluids- All of them highly poisonous. Some for coating knives, or dipping bullets. Some for slipping into an unwary person's drink....

The only vehicle he is known to drive -often- would be his motorcycle. While he actually prefers the large, cross-country type bikes, he owns and drives a crotch-rocket for mobility and speed, making for quick escapes on crowded freeways, weaving through traffic. Or jumping bridges. He enjoys that.

Ranking:
Initially C Rank, raised to A.

History:
Originally, Jackson was a normal guy. Like anybody, he put down his acute senses to luck of the genetic draw and lives his life with no problems whatsoever. But, upon the whole "Superpower" reveal sweeping over the planet, he put a bit more... Thought, into the matter. With a good deal of experimentation and a life-threatening incident, he unlocked his ability to warp from place to place, honing it over the years. Initially, he registered and lived life on, Ranked as a C-level super due to the non-destructive nature of his ability.

However, at some point in time he just... Fell off the grid. This happened shortly after he made a life choice, and changed his career path to something far more profitable than a martial arts teacher- A mercenary. Or an assassin. It truly depended on who payed him. He found his morals slipping, taking nearly any job if it payed well enough, though some things never changed- If it involved children, he refused the job. Terrorism? He refused. Most often he found himself working as a personal guard.... Or a political assassin. He never liked politicians in the first place, really. After he was blamed for a number of deaths, his rank was raised to A due to the new, dangerous ways he used his power.

Sudden. Urge. To create RWBY RP.

'cause I did a thing, and it told me my RWBY weapon would be a naginata-


Fused with an LMG (Light machine gun.)

And I really want to put that to use in an RP. WHO WANTS TO RUN ANOTHER RP ON THE SIDE WITH ME FOR RWBY!?!?! Only need two or three people. *Winkwinknudgenudge* You know who you are. RWBY sig people.
