The Knights of Songbird ~ A Bioshock Roleplay

James grinned. "Thank you Mister!" he exclaimed. He could already feel the conditioning making him feel like Jon was his big daddy but he tried to shake it off. "If you don't mind me asking. How are we going to get out?" He asked curiously. As far as he knew the only way was those weird spheres that his family came down in, Ugh. James' father. He hated that man with a passion. You wouldn't think a child is capable of this kind of hate but he is. Ever since his father betrayed him and gave him away for mere money. His father was the sole reason he was turned into this...this thing. This disgusting creature with a slimy slug in it's stomach. The reason his skin is now grey, his eyes yellow, and his voice, terrifying. Sometimes he couldn't stand to hear himself speak. The horrible and scary voice wasn't his. James hoped his new daddy wouldn't betray him like that.

"Kalk Zelo." Brooks mouthed the name a couple of times with a curious look on his face. He grinned and started talking again. "Wow what a cool name and that power sounds fun! That would be cool. Can you cook with that power? What I'd give to be able to bake a cake with a single touch." Brooks had gotten so caught up in talking that he forgot about Kalk's question. Brooks shifted around uncomfortably for a second as he tried to figure out how to describe his power. "Well I guess I'm sort of a broken siren with the powers of an empath mixed in." He explained. "Like my voice can be used to manipulate the mood of whoever hears it but it's really weak so that ability is easily broken. Then I'm also an empath. You know. Feeling what you feel and all that jazz. Mom says my powers should grow stronger but I feel like they never will." Brooks confessed.

Brooks giggled at this peculiar person. "Well I'll be your friend. I don't see why people wouldn't like to be friends with you." he said as he further analyzed her emotions, his voice leaving his mouth flowing effortlessly adding a calm and warm aura around him whenever he spoke. Trying his best to decipher bits about her personality through her emotions. Sometimes old emotions are caught up in peoples heads and he can tell which emotion they experienced most. Allowing him to see certain things about peoples' personalities. Brooks smiled again. "My name is Brooks. Brooks Moore. I can tell you are a nice person. Whats your name? Whats your power?" He asked away. He could never really control his curiosity more than his other emotions. The girl looked fairly nice. Brooks didn't care much about her face. Just a thing that happens. Everybody here is different anyways. In his eyes, that made her even closer. The more different the better.

I'm assuming your character was somewhat lonely. If not I feel like a total dunce.

Brooks had been looking to find a friend group to join but everyone seemed so nervous and excited. Their emotions were overpowering and it gave him a headache. But in the back of his head he could feel something. A weird mix of emotions. Some loneliness and happiness mixed together. How peculiar. After sensing such an emotion, Brooks couldn't help but try to locate the source. Pressing his fingers to his temples, he closed his eyes. Blocking out all of the emotions aside from one. "There you are." He whispered as he slowly scooted seat by seat to the source of these emotions. Brooks didn't want to be called out for not sitting down so he made his way to the person at a slow pace. His black jeans and t-shirt never really suited his personality but he liked the colors so it didn't matter much to him anyways. When he finally got to the person he looked over at her. "Why are you so happy and kinda lonely?" He asked smiling. Brooks was never one for social protocol. It never occurred to him that he was possibly being rude.

I like cheesecake. How come you get to grow stronger later on? XD Brooks can't suggest things to people now. He would have grown to like...suggest things and make them think about those but now he cant even grow into that power *Jealous*

Hey could he have the ability to take the pain of others (Physical or if the person wants, mental) and give it to himself instead. Like if they get stabbed or something they wont feel the pain because he will? Thanks Cryptiic XD

Ok I'll do that haha. I was hoping it could affect NPCs more. Thank you I should have thought of that. But I was kind of aiming for him being more based on emotions and people more so than combat so empathy is perfect! I'll ad that now. So I'm basing it off of this article aside from gaining levels of ascension...thats weird. But like the controlling emotions part is something he does already but on a smaller and weaker scale.

Copy of the article

The user can read and mirror the feelings of others without reading apparent symptoms, allowing them to understand introverts or discover one emotion is actually hiding another. The user can attack someone in a personal and emotional way since they know exactly what emotion is flowing through themselves and can use this knowledge to play against them. Some users may learn to read emotional imprints left into environment or objects.

Usually over time, an Empath's power grows to the point that they can manipulate emotions on others, and possibly use them to empower themselves. User may learn to extend their power over/on vast number of sentients or reach extreme distances, even other levels of existence but this may be possible only if the user has emotional link to those they search already in effect.
