How would you feel about James trying to take Aiden under his wing?

James Mikhailovich- Engineer and Astrophysicist, has arrived.

Character Sheet

James Mikhailovich

Basic Traits

Quote: "Look, if I shout 'watch out below,' I'm not responsible for you getting crushed? Ok? Jesus, you want Health and Safety breathing down our necks again?"

Height: 5'11

Age: 26

Appearance: Reasonably tall, and a slim man without any real visible muscle to him. He has pale skin and blonde hair that is still lush and rich despite the fact he lives in the destroyed Britain. He tends to be seen wearing a simple pair of jeans, a long black t-shirt,
a pair of boots that come up above his ankle, and a military overcoat from his time in the rift wars. Looking at him, you would never suspect that he once was a scientist.

His eyes are a clear blue colour, and his vision is naturally flawless, with a smattering of bristles on his chin to tie the whole thing together. Really, the only distinguishing thing about him is his habit of wearing a long red scarf, wound three or four times around his neck, yet still with at least two feet dangling down. Nobody knows why he wears it.

Ethnicity: Anglo-Russian. Speaks both languages.

Background

History: Born in England to a mother that was Russian, James grew up bouncing between both countries. He learned to speak the two languages fluently when he was a child, something that came very useful when he joined a Russian observatory. Pre-Rifts, he was an astrophysicist, and was one of the first people on the scene when the Russian rift cracked open for the first time. From there, he followed the Rifts and attempted to study them, without much luck.

Rift History: James was one of the first researchers on the scene. It's theorised that the earlier you were around the rifts, the more powerful your powers would end up being. Soon after his experience with the Russian rifts, he began to have hyper-detailed dreams of events he had never encountered in his life, often with people who looked very different to how they did now. Normal lucid dreaming techniques didn't allow him to break out of these dreams, and they haven't quietened down.

War History: James was a military sapper for his fellow rifters during the war. With his ability and extremely fine control of gravity, he was capable of moving obstacles, erecting barricades and fortifications, and demolishing enemy vehicles and fortifications with ease. He doesn't really like to talk about his experiences in the war any more hover. They bring back too many bad memories.

Alliance: Unusually, James is welcome both in the Russian and English zones. His dual nationality, experience in the war, and rift abilities mean that even though some may grumble, most people are fine with him.

Abilities

Rift: Russian

Abilities: Precise and extreme gravity control, to the point where he can lift up steel girders and bend them to a 90 degree angle. He also has extremley detailed dreams that reveal facts either from the past, that he had no way of knowing, or from the future. These are accurate and non-malleable (so he cannot change them.)

Side effects: His dreams often leave him without a refreshing sleep- and he's been plagued with symptoms of chronic insomnia. A lot of his dreams aren't particularly pleasant either.

Personality:

Mission: James is going to end up on top. He doesn't have abilities that are as immediately useful, but his knowledge of engineering from the war, and ability to do the work of cranes on his own, means that he's pretty sure he can make something out of what he's been left with.

Weaknesses: Plagued by fatigue and with some symptoms of PTSD, James is no longer a fighter at heart. He tries to forget the year he spent on the frontlines, and deputises combat duties to other people. Not to say he's not good in a scrap, he just hates to be in one.

Strengths and Talents: James is still an excellent physicist and his year as a sapper has given him quite the experience in engineering. He's also pretty good at negotiating.

Fears: Being crushed. He's done it to others, multiple times. He doesn't want it to happen to him.

MC will almost certainly be important contruction wise. No need for cranes when he can precisely manipulate the gravity in order to lift any object.

The Walk of Ice: Interest Check

The animals have fled.

Where once there was chirping, life, and the thunder of the beasts, now there is nothing. A great winter is coming. Greater than any we have seen before. There is no way we can survive on the meagre supplies we have left... So instead we walk. We will take the path towards the rising sun, to a new land and a new life. No matter how bitter the cold, how bloody our feet... The ancestor will smile upon us.

---

Irredeemable here. This is an RP set in prehistoric times, just as the last of the great ice ages is rolling in. We will be a tribe of Homo Sapiens migrating from what is now Eastern Russia, bordering on Mongolia, and we are moving East, across the Bering Bridge to go to the 'Sun Land-' where we can escape the cold once and for all. Whilst doing so, we must brave the elements, fauna, disease, and more, whilst also revering the ancestors and navigating successfully.

I'm going to try to keep this as driven as possible. Since the overarching goal is very nebulous, I'll make sure that there are threats and challenges that occur regularly enough so that we always have something to post on. Or, at least, that's the goal.

Right, so my idea has become a bit more formed. My character is going to be a British born, Russian researcher, who was one of the first people to head to the Russian rift. He gained gravity control (both making it dramatically weaker and dramatically stronger) thanks to this. He can also dream in 'flashforwards,' where he sees snippets of moments that may be to come, or see events that he had no knowledge of in the past.
