That makes sense. I like the idea of them being at a base together, and if Emilia were his Captain, they would have interacted. Perhaps Allan even made Company Sergeant or First Sergeant and became her adjutant at some point, giving him a deep professional respect for her, which may or may not prove justified.
@ Primez:
Emilia and Allan are going to have an interesting relationship... Perhaps he served in her regiment during a campaign?

Yep I like it, it could definitely create a cool dynamic between our characters, Perhaps even a rivalry. I think I'm gonna tweak Zhayne's power just a bit since he's been at the mansion for a few years instead of being new. He should now have better control over his powers than before.


Good idea. I'm getting really excited for this RP to start, and I look forward to whatever dynamic develops between our characters.

I mentioned some thoughts on the idea of having two shifters. I see it working out much in the same way both Feral and Wolfsbane operated in the X-Men universe at the same time in the early 90's. I've thought on the powers and how to make them different to separate the characters moreso than they already are, let me know what you guys think.Animus - in human form he has the ability to mimic animal powers, I'd write this off as having a feral sense like Wolverine with heightened vision, smelling, and hearing as well as heightened physical attributes [strength, speed, stamina]. He also has the ability to shift into animals for short periods of time [not including bugs just for difference' sake?]. Chimera - in human form... he's human. Chimera's power is like Animus' on crack. He can use more than one animal or bug [or arachnid] trait at a time and only becomes as gruesome as he has to. He can shift into a tiger with huge bat wings and a scorpion tail, or he could still be a humanoid with six limbs like an insect and exo-skeleton armor like an armadillo. Basically, Animus is like Sam Merlot from True Blood. Chimera is like something out of a science fiction movie. I could see a friendly rivalry in the field from these two. ~KL~


I'm down with that. Hopefully HellOfaLife is similarly inclined.
I'm just going to sit here and enjoy the irony of that post juxtaposed with your username...

Also, James is pretty extroverted and laid-back, and is a musician. So she won't be the only artsy character.
Here goes nothing. I'll be taking the warrior slot, if nobody minds.

Name: Allan Phaedrus
Age: 25
Race: Humas
Class: TAC Soldier
Class Specialty: Warrior/Heavy
Class Specialty Abilities: Enhanced endurance, mechanically augmented muscle structure grants him increased strength and less fear of injuring himself, allowing him to throw his full strength behind each blow with less fear of damaging his bones or tearing his muscles, and stabilizers prevent him from overextending himself, bringing his recovery time back within the realm of human average.

Sub-Class Specialty: Beast Tamer
Sub-Class Specialty Sheet:
Name: Lysander
Appearance:
Type: Animal
Info: Lysander was rescued as a cub by Allan after the bear's mother had been killed by hunters. The bear took well to Allan, who nurtured and cared for Lysander, and he is now totally loyal to Allan. When Lysander began to show signs of aging in his 10th year, After being horribly maimed and having Lysander save his life, he realized how dependent he had become on his friend, and had an alchemist draught an elixir to extend the bear's life, which must be administered once a week or Lysander will begin aging again. Physically, Lysander is about 8 or 9, but he has been taking the elixir for four years, and if the supply is cut off, he will begin to age rapidly. His natural lifespan, should he stop taking the elixir, will be approximately 20 years.

Skills: Skilled with most weapons before his augmentations, his augmented strength allows him to wield even two-handed swords with the ease of a rapier, and he can shrug off most glancing blows as though they were nothing, though a well-aimed shot to the torso will still cause internal bleeding and possibly organ failure. He is a skilled tracker and survivalist, and is competent with thrown weapons. Due to his military training, he has some experience directing small squads of people, but since he never sought a commission, it is somewhat limited. He has a surprisingly good singing voice, and a knack for storytelling, and is able to make a fine meal out of even simple ingredients.

Appearance:

Equipment/Weapons: His bodily enhancements include partial skeletal replacement, clockwork joints, high-tension cables in place of ligaments in his arms and legs, and a gyroscope/suspension system to replace his crushed pelvis. Around his belt are a number of hammers, balanced for throwing but each weighing around 10 pounds. Few others possess the strength necessary to throw them with any degree of effectiveness. Slung across his back is a prodigious blade, approximately two meters long and weighing at least 15 kilos.It seems to be cold-forged steel, and gleams with a black luster. In addition to these are a steel breastplate, painted with black lacquer to make it less noticeable from a distance, a cloak with the TAC emblem emblazoned on the back, sturdy boots, well-made traveling clothes, and a maintenance kit for his mechanical parts, without which he would begin to rust and his joints risk locking up. Also, several months' supply of Lysander's anti-aging elixir, snares for trapping game, and cookware for preparing meals.

Personality: Humble, selfless, hard-boiled, soft spoken

History: Growing up in an ostensibly pro-HALO household, Allan lived a simple life in the country for the most part, but after his father took the family on a trip to the city, Allan's eyes were opened to the wonders of technology and how prevalent it was in the more urban areas. When he was 12, he saved a bear from certain death after he found its mother dead nearby, and he took the bear in, raising him like a younger brother. He made a few more trips to the city, but for the most part, he stuck to life on the farm. At the age of 18, he enlisted in the military, serving for three years and rising to the rank of Sergeant (or in-universe equivalent) before he was allowed to return home at the end of a successful campaign. One day, while tilling a field, he was grievously maimed by farm equipment, and if it weren't for Lysander, would have bled to death. His parents took him to the city to seek treatment, but refused to pay when they learned the only option was to restore his functions through mechanical augmentation. Allan paid what he could with his soldier's pay, but his only option was to pledge his services to the Arcane Coalition to pay off his treatment. After extensive rehabilitation and specialized training, he is now prepared to set out with the Coalition with Lysander in tow, leaving his furious but narrow-minded parents behind.

Misc: Can't think of anything right now.
Quite interested. I'm actually in the process of writing a steampunk story of sorts, so this should give me some inspiration.
I'd like to express interest in this as well. It seems to be filling up quickly.
Indeed there are. If KL decides to give preference to Hell of a Life because he was in the old RP, I will come up with new powers, but I did post my CS first.

I like this, just edit out the part about having a sister with sounds powers, that's Paingodson's powerset and even though it's a supporting character I don't want too many overlapping powers.


Edited. I'll leave her powers up to you.
