@Apollosarcher Aaaaaand it's finished! I really hope you approve of the character. I'm really excited to begin roleplaying, and I'd be fine with buffing or debuffing the character if you want me to.
Aria Coleman
The Quick and Dandy Maiden
Age: 14
Appearance: The topmost picture depicts her face accurately. Her height is that of an average 14-year old. She usually wears a sweater like this:
Personality: Aria is a quick thinker and doer. She does everything quickly and precisely.
Other than that, she is comparable to a hyperactive munchkin with a cold, and she talks more quickly than Scatman John can rap in the chorus of any of his greatest hits. She moves rarely, but when she does, she runs at the speed that Usain Bolt would run at if he was being chased by a hungry Rottweiler.
And mind you, she was just rushing to the cafeteria to make sure that the vendors wouldn't run out of shawarma.
She is also somewhat touchy and emotional. No need to elaborate on that. She likes cute animals and chocolate chip cookies.
Non-Battle Abilities
She is fond of playing the piano. Doing so somehow makes her get constant flashbacks and feel emotional. She is also good at cooking.
Element: Lightning
THE STORY SO FAR...
Aria was abandoned as a baby, and left at the door of the local orphanage. She was raised there, and sent to school by the caretakers. She was named by one of the caretakers, who called himself Mr. Coleman
Her life took a turn for the unpredictable once she saw a glowing stone tablet in the nearby forest. Out of curiosity, she took the tablet and kept is as her own. Surprisingly, Mr. Coleman revealed himself to be a war veteran. He thought Aria how to read the tablet, and she summoned Irune. Unfortunately, she electrocuted herself badly in the process, and her survival could be considered a miracle.
Irune offered to teach Aria how to defend herself, for the feline creature had seen worse in its lifetime. They would train in the same location wherein the stone tablet was found, and Aria eventually mastered her craft.
Eventually, the people at Aether Bridge noticed her and took her away. Her story would start from there.
Powers
Lightning Strike: Aria can project thunder either from any part of her body, her chakrams, or from Lightning Spheres, if any are present.
Double Judges Dual chakrams. She can create two of these. Aria can summon these weapons at will. She has complete control over their movement, unless a psychic, airbender, or anybody capable of interfering with the chakram's airborne movement interferes.
Gifted Power: Dash If she focuses, she can quickly dash to an unobstructed place within her field of vision. This isn't exactly teleportation, and Aria can neither move at FTE speeds or break at least the sound barrier.
Aria is very energetic. She has a deep pool of stamina, and she tires more slowly than the average person.
She moves very swiftly. She runs at the speed of a full-grown professional athlete, despite her height. It can be said that her legs are unusually long, and her energy is untapped.
She isn't entirely immune to getting electrocuted, but the shock hardly does deter her. She can control electricity, after all.
Elemental
This symbol should be on the cat-like-creature's forehead
Name: IruneAlthough she gets called a variety of weird names by Aria, such as Fluffy, Yiffy, Speedy, etc etc etc
Summoning Mantra: "Irune, come forth!"Wow this mantra is so poetic, it makes me cry.
Element: Lightning
Element Gift: Lightning Sphere Irune can project "Lightning Spheres" anywhere within a radius of _______. This allows Aria to project her lightning energy from each of them.
Other Powers
Irune can naturally conjure and manipulate electricity. She can do so virtually anywhere within a 20-meter radius, as long as the object is not an insulator of electricity.
Irune has the uncanny ability to dash through air. She can change her direction in mid-flight, and she moves fairly quickly.
About:
Beyond the Rift, there existed a kingdom of unknown name nor origin. It is said that feline-like creatures would be at the top of the social pyramid. This is because they were naturally born with powerful element-manipulating abilities. They enslaved another race, whose members resembled that of a giant centipede. These creatures had no magic powers, but they were very sturdy and physically strong. They were looked down by their feline masters, and knew nothing of freedom.
Eventually, the centipede-like creatures got fed up and revolted. Years of hard work had caused them to evolve a resistance to common elements, and the feline creatures had become infatuated and lazy. The rebellion became a downright massacre.
So Irune here was the child of an aristocratic feline family. The family wanted to save their dear daughter, and so they used arcane magic to ink her to a summoning stone. The young Irune was then left to flee. She trains Aria on self-defense and electricity manipulation since she doesn't want her to go through the same pain.
By "second speed-based character", I was saying that i had already created a character with supernatural speed and reflexes before, and Aria was being sort of modeled after him. That character was meant to be in the Expanding Horizons RP.
But who knows? They might actually be related to each other after all. It's a small, small world...

This is actually my first time to leave an unfinished post in the OOC. Will finish ASAP.
@Apollosarcher That's sad, but I'm still interested in joining this RP.
I'll start working on my character sheet right now. By the way, do any of you know how to use different fonts in BBCode? The code on the forum didn't work. Thanks :D
Since the roleplayers will all be recruits at the Tower of Stars, then somebody has to be the antagonist, right? I'd be fine with fighting off a bunch of NPC mooks.
By the way, anybody of you can screw around with Nathan once he gets approved. Just wait for me to craft him some handy spells and gimmicks.
EDIT: Grammar Error, wait, is this even necessary?
A pioneer who sits out his long and boring days in his nightstand, despite being a pioneer.
Nathan Y. McDonald
"The Watchful Vulture"
This alias surprisingly does not match the character's personality
Of course, this isn't his casual getup. It's his BATTLE GEAR.
On a regular workday, Nathan usually looks like the gentleman on the left. Except that he wears a helmet instead of a gas mask. Looks familiar? Good. Captain: Bob, do you think that artificial insemination is bioethically moral? Bob: I have no idea about that, but some guy down the street is currently wearing the same attire as you. Captain: What did you say? I'LL KILL HIM! Bob: That's sexist. :|
Age: About 25
Rank: ArtisanHis unique usage of runes and battle tactics make him sort of a good shot.
Will Level: PotentNathan partly inherited his mother's Greater will level. Unfortunately, he didn't ENTIRELY inherit it. He has high-tier potent will and can use multiple magics at ease. Eventually, he'll train enough and climb the ladder, but his schedule has been very tight lately...
Personality: Nathan, at first glance, is very intimidating. A sheer glance from him can send chills down one's spine. Much like your typical well-shaded comic book character. However, despite being the accomplished man he is supposed to be, he is actually very.......derpy. He's the kind of sleepy douche that would talk about his personal life in weird ways, or tell a joke and laugh at it like this.
Joker: See, there were two guys locked in a lunatic asylum and one night, they decided that they didn't like it anymore. They decided to escape. So they make it up to the roof and there, just across this narrow gap, they see rooftops stretching across town, stretching to freedom. Now the first guy jumps across, no problem. But his friend, no way, he's afraid of falling. So the first guy, he has an idea. He says, "Hey, I got this flashlight with me. I'll shine it across the gap between the buildings and you can walk across the gap and join me. But the second guy says, "What do you think I am, crazy? You'll just turn it off when I'm halfway across." Joker: Hahaha, excuse me, haha...hahaHA...HahaHAhahaHAhaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Batman: *forced laughter*
Despite that, he's somewhat agreeable.
THE STORY SO FAR...
Nathan was born in the city of Digginspoint, located in the Zarindan province. His mother, Inari Yttria, was a skilled elementalist and swordswoman who would usually incorporate element bending techniques and classic swordplay, thus making her a force to be reckoned with. She was dubbed "The Thorned Rose", and she had earned her position as Knight Captain through hard work. Nathan was pressured to carry her legacy on. His father, Rudolph McDonald, was a wizard of sorts. He was a weird one. He would write in some ancient language and mutter incomprehensible wordings that he called "spells". Johnny was, as said earlier, pressured to carry on his mother's legacy, and this caused him to become somewhat introverted and hardy.
Nathan's mother forced Nathan to learn how to manipulate all the classical elements, as in all of them. However, Nathan was more interested in guns. He had his mom buy him a toy dart gun, and he would shoot his neighbors living in the nearby household through the windows with it, thus showcasing his excellent aim and lack of proper discipline. The unfortunate neighbors did not dare complain, for they were afraid of the brat's mother, so the best they could do was close the windows. Nathan would get spanked for doing so, nonetheless. Nathan also showed an interest in his father's spells, much to the father's surprise. He learned to write in ancient glyphs, and he began tinkering with magic runes at a young age. His mother was very disappointed, but was rather sympathetic towards her son since he was an only child. Nathan ended up only learning how to manipulate plasma, which wasn't a classical element to begin with. He learned it well anyway, and would usually be seen trying to create elaborate shapes out of the plasma instead of hurling it like he would in a fight. His mother was even more disappointed, but his father pointed out that their son had to learn how to put focus and effort into element bending, so the mother decided to watch in all her disappointment.
Soon, Nathan had become an independent teen. His mother had become very disappointed in him, since he hadn't become a master of the element like she had become at his age. Nathan initially refrained from joining the Tower of Stars. He was growing up when futuristic weaponry was becoming the norm, so he came up with an outrageous idea: using guns to cast spells!
Yes, he came up with that. He's still somewhat proud of it.
He studied weaponry and magic at the same time. He conceptualized fitting runes that could cast all kinds of magic spells into guns. After a lot of sketching and building, he had designed his twin pistols: Order and Chaos. He also trained in stealth, like most gun-wielding military trainees at the academy would. He dug deeper into his father's books and saw all sorts of spells and illusory tricks. Eventually, he would learn how to use these in fast-paced battles.
Eventually, Nathan ended up popularizing the usage of magic runes once again. His innovation caught the eyes of the Tower of Stars, and they offered him a position as Artisan. Nathan accepted it, and he got stationed in his hometown, Digginsworth. He is generally affiliated with the Tower of Steel, and he sometimes crafts weapons for his division.
On a regular workday, Nathan sits in his office in the daytime, usually with nothing to do. At night, he patrols the slightly busy streets of Digginsworth, and sometimes in nearby cities. He works full-shift, and he only gets breaks on Saturdays. He does subdue criminals sometimes.
Magic and Tech
Magic
Plasma Manipulation: Nathan can use plasma and manipulate it either using Channeled Magic or Wild Magic. Nathan can conjure plasma using Channeled Magic by deriving it from his Energy Cell, which we will talk about later. However, he can also manipulate plasma found in the environment. He has mastered the element since it was the only one he was actually interested in during his childhood.
Illusory Magic: Back in the day, his father was a magician popular for his intricate illusions. Nathan can do the same, except he uses it more as a battle tactic. When in battle, he can create illusions of himself to confuse the enemy. He can also create more intricate illusions, but this would take utmost effort. Nathan only does this when pulling casual pranks on his workmates.
Technology and Other Items
Order and Chaos: The cream and sugar of Nathan's life.
Order: His custom revolver, which he uses to cast spells. The barrel is unusually large, and Nathan can fit 8 Rune Bullets into it. The best part about the gun (Aside from the fact that it can cast spells) is the barrel, which also took the most time to design. The barrel is actually a rune itself. When a Rune Bullet is fired, it does not disappear entirely, for it only loses its magical energy. The barrel has an inscripted clairvoyance spell etched onto it, and the barrel attracts the Rune Bullet to it, which zooms back to the barrel and fits itself again in the hole wherein it was previously stored. As you (might) have read, the barrel is supposed to be bigger. Way bigger
Chaos: Chaos does not cast spells, but is a sub-machine plasma pistolnuff' said. The pistol itself is also crafted out of Aetherium, a rare metal usually used in magic staffs and wands. When Nathan wants to look badass, he conjures plasma and fires it through this pistol.
Rune Bullets: They cast a diverse variety of spells. When used, the chosen bullet runs out of energy and becomes unusable until it recharges its energy.
Each rune corresponds to the spell that it activates. Runes Currently In-Barrel
Symphony of Specters: Summons a Reaper when activated, which will attack the receiver of the bullet. This scythe-wielding reaper is powered by death and anguish, and will not stop until the target dies a painful death. Fortunately for the target, the reaper is mortal. Takes 20 minutes to recharge.
Crystal Shower: The rune activates in mid-air. Upon activation, a magic circle activates, and bathes everything it is facing with sharp and deadly crystal. Crystals can only shoot towards one direction, and that will be the direction the magic circle is facing. The magic circle faces the direction the bullet was shot in. Duration: 8 seconds Takes 5 minutes to recharge
Shazam! Upon hitting anything solid or losing momentum, the rune activates and creates a bright flash. Nathan, as the caster of the spell, can see through the flash. Duration: 10 seconds Takes 5 minutes to recharge
Apollo's Wrath: Summons a large column of flame upon impact. Great for moving down large crowds. Takes 5 minutes to recharge
Lullabye: Sends the receiver of the bullet into a deep sleep. Takes 30 minutes to recharge
That's all for now
Helmet: The helmet is a standard military helmet with a radio and microphone used in communication on the battlefield. It also allows night vision when activated. It has, for some reason, a hatch for the user's mouth. Nathan uses said hatch to drink his evening coffee.
Armour: Nathan's armour was built for flexibility. Plates cover most areas, but necks, elbows, knees, and other body parts which are jointed are left open. The plates are made out of cheap Mythril.
Energy Cell: This was built to work as an artificial elemental totem for people who wanted to learn the use of Channeled Magic. Nathan usually places his on his belt. It allows him to manipulate plasma using Channeled Magic.
Bag: It has all sorts of work-related stuff in it.
Laptop: There's nothing special about this laptop. Nathan uses it to receive messages. He does enjoy casual gaming sometimes...
Documents and an assortment of pens, along with a bunch of unimportant stuff.
Novelty Mug Nathan has no idea why he has this.
Toothbrush Collection Nathan has no idea why he has this either. The rack is proudly stationed in his office cubicle.
Other Stuff
Nathan was trained to be stealthy. Combine that with his illusory magic and you get a big deal on your hands.
Nathan, of course, has exemplary accuracy.
Nathan is sometimes requested by the higher-ups at the Order of Steel to craft weapons for the other soldiers.

@Themerlinhawk EDIT: Added some items, shook up the personality a little, and filled part of the barrel. That's pretty much it if you exclude all the grammar fixes, which make up majority of the edits
