The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

Oh! Also, how common are metahumans, exactly? Like, what percentage of the population would they be? 50 percent? 10? 1? Less than that, even? Are powers hereditary? From what I've read so far it sounds like they're genetic, so I would guess so, but do children always/usually have the same powers as their parents, or no? And is it a dominant trait? Like if a metahuman and an ordinary human were to have a child, would the odds be greater for them to have powers, or for them not to? Sorry for the stream of questions, haha...

Ah, that? Well, that's because this thread is for Arc III of the RP, while Arc II, which is on another, older thread, is yet to be finished.

@Letter Bee

Ah, that makes sense, then, thank you! Well, so long as people are still open to new characters, I'll start thinking up my own. I've got a few different people in mind, but I'm not really sure which would work best with this setting. Although looking at the characters that we already have, I can think of at least one that would certainly fit in well enough.

The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

This seems interesting. I'm toying about with a couple different character ideas that I might consider typing up. I've noticed that there seem to be quite a few people already approved, but no IC posts. Is there a specific start-date for the roleplay, or some sort of role that still needs to be filled, perhaps?

Heroic Saga

Hi there, sorry for not posting, but unfortunately I don't think that my schedule is going to let me take part in this roleplay after all. My apologies.

Heroic Saga

I have a funny feeling that someone is going to be snoozing on Brugo's back very often xD

@Animal

Haha, I can well imagine! He probably wouldn't mind too much. :3

Heroic Saga

It is necessary for our characters to all meet up, or could there be multiple smaller groups,or maybe even just individuals, that the GM can then herd in the same general direction for chance of future interaction? This saves waiting for posts, and for events transpiring too quickly before a relevant character has a chance to respond.

@jdh97

That's probably a better idea, plus in helps work together different sorts of backstories a bit more naturally.

Heroic Saga

Should we start pre planning how our characters are going to meet up?

@Animal

In a bar, clearly. XD

@Rin

That might work out, except that my character doesn't like enclosed spaces, since he's usually too big to fit without breaking things, haha. He'd have to wait outside. :) But then, he's in the army, so maybe he's posted nearby on guard duty, and there's some sort of ruckus in/near the bar that needs breaking up?

Heroic Saga

Name: Brugo "The Brute" Vascor Theme Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtbRJ-Q58H8 Gender: Male Age: Twenty-eight Appearance:

Hider

Brugo's veins run thick with the mixed blood of his giant ancestry, his powerful, muscular frame standing at 10'6" tall, weighing 623lbs. His skin is dark and tough, his hair ashen-white. His eyes have black sclera and glowing gold irises. He often adorns himself with several pieces of simple jewelry. Personality: Brugo is a bit of a wallflower, preferring to hang back and watch quietly due to a worry that people will judge or ignore him. Naturally calm, he is slow to anger, and even slower to rise to violence, out a concern that he may seriously injure somebody due to his size and strength. Something of a gentle giant, Brugo can still become incredibly dangerous when he is finally provoked enough to do somebody harm. He is very protective of those weaker than him, his allies, and those who he looks up to. He is sensitive about his appearance, but hides it as best as he can. He is extremely loyal and understanding, and will always try to reason things out and calm others frustrations. He is very adaptable to harsh environments, and can take a lot of punishment before getting upset. He never gives up, no matter what, and would do anything to protect those he cares about. Favourite Colour(s): Sky blue. Hobbies: He is very good at wood carving, and frequently whiles away his unoccupied hours whittling away at a block of wood. Weapons: He fights with empty hands and improvised weapons, relying on his natural physical gifts on the rare occasion that he does enter a fight, since few weapons can stand up to the rigors of his usage. He wears simple metal gauntlets and bracers to protect his hands from harm while fighting. As a soldier, he is martially trained, and has very well-developed technique. Powers/Abilities: Brugo's great size and physical strength give him an advantage at performing physical tasks. His thick skin and dense muscles make him very durable, and hard to tire. He can see perfectly, even in the dark, and has above average senses of hearing and smell. Biography: Brugo had an extremely difficult childhood. As a half-giant, he was constantly teased and bullied for his appearance, Brugo could never retaliate or fight back without hurting the other children. He was ostracized by everybody but his immediate family. His father, a warrior, was constantly pushing Brugo to follow in his footsteps, frequently taking him away on long trips for combat training and practice. A gentle soul, Brugo hated every minute of it, and could tell that he was a constant source of disappointment to his father. His adoptive mother seemed to understand Brugo’s difficulties, and was always kind to him, and so the two of them were very close. His full-human brother, Scotius often seemed to resent the attention that Brugo got from their parents, despite the fact that he didn’t really want it, and would often feel jealous of his brother, who was able to fit in much more easily. The two were often at odds with one another, but Brugo secretly thought of his brother as a role model, wishing that he could be more like him, calm, capable, talented. Because of this, Brugo would often retaliate in kind when his brother would pull age on him, being equally difficult to deal with. When their father died, Brugo was deeply upset. He knew that his father still considered him a failure for wasting his strength and not joining the army. His brother, he knew, was deeply grieved too, locking himself in his room for days on end, after which he ran away from home. Sometime later, an emissary from the king arrived, asking Brugo to join the army. At first, he refused, but when he heard that his brother had joined, he immediately changed his answer. He would prove to his father that he was not a failure. He would protect his older brother, and the whole Kingdom at the same time. He never shared his reasons for joining and when he did, acted surprised to find his brother there. When Scotius complained to try and have him removed, Brugo resisted stubbornly, determined to follow through. Though the two rarely speak, and are often cold to each other, deep down he loves his brother very much.

Rin your character is absolutely perfect! Very well written also. For the artifacts, basically they will be used to defeat the bad guy. Our characters have their own unique abilities and powers, even from the beginning of the RP. It's just that the main bad guy is so powerful that we wouldn't be able to beat him on our own. So our characters will have their own abilities and powers from the beginning of the RP. And we will only find the Artifacts later on.

@Water Akira

Good to know! I'll start writing up a character, then!
