The point about durability is a fair one. I'd prefer to play my cards close to my chest for now as to what exactly this guys deal is, but I can say his strength is not coming from a magical buff. However it's also not coming from any kind of super power or physical conditioning.
He definitely doesn't have super speed though. He might be a little tougher than an average person to hurt but he can certainly be wounded which is why I went with regeneration.

Name: Alastair Matthews
Age: 24
Species: Human
Appearance: A Caucasian male in his early twenties with short but messy dark brown hair and light brown eyes that occasionally seem to take on a yellowish tint in the right light. Alastair is below average in height at 5’ 6” and has a slim build, though it is hard to tell given his typical manner of dress, choosing to wear thick, baggy clothing such as oversized hoodies and boot-cut jeans.
Alastair’s skin is pale and his complexion pallid. His clothing is dishevelled and worn, faded in colour and a little threadbare in places. He walks in a slouch with his hood pulled up and his head down, meaning that most of the time the only parts of Alastair that are even visible under his heavy clothing are his hands and the lower half of his face.
Weaknesses: Fire, Slashing damage
Phobias: Fire, Light, Certain Holy objects/symbols
Skills: Languages, Knowledge (Arcana), Knowledge (History)
Supernatural Abilities Tier 1: Regeneration, Enhanced Strength
Supernatural Abilities Tier 2: Partial Manifestation, Consumption
Supernatural Ability Tier 3: Full Manifestation
Other: Alastair has a habit of talking to himself

@Strong Potato and here I thought I was going to be the first person to post a weird one.
@MikkishtheLeprechaun, here's one of two character ideas I had rolling around. If this doesn't look suitable I'll throw up the other one.

Nature Mana! So his healing spell already utilised a different form of mana than his Mana Orb and presumably his Shield spell; that information would potentially come in useful later on and he would have to add it to the list of things he wanted to experiment with when he next got the chance. That was starting to become a very long list.
For the moment however he needed to restore his mana and unfortunately he had left all of the mana crystals he had gathered behind in his haste to come help this Slime. Turning towards the creature to let him know he was leaving, Oberon couldn’t help but recoil as his vision was suddenly filled by the pseudo-pod reaching towards him. As the cool membrane of the Slime touched his forehead and the voice sounded out in his mind, however, he relaxed as he began to realise that the action was not hostile.
“Don’t mention it; that’s why I picked Pixie in the first place. Just try not to eat any more bombs.”
As the Slime rolled away with some sudden purpose Oberon also sprang into action, running back to where he was practising earlier and picking up one of his discarded mana crystals. Crushing it in his hand he let his mana refill before grabbing the other crystals off of the ground and taking to the sky with Lesser Flight.
Ascending until he had a vantage point that allowed him to see more of what was going on, Oberon turned in a slow circle to get a better idea of where everyone was and what was happening. Aside from the explosion it seemed like a group of lizards had attacked some of the others, but that situation had already been swiftly dealt with. There was some commotion happening over by the wall as well, with a large slime that had arrived with the others pressing itself forcefully into the wall for no obvious purpose.
Despite the abrupt burst of activity there didn’t actually seem to be anything that needed Oberon’s immediate attention. Slowly drifting back down to the ground the Pixie’s mind was already starting to wander back to what he had just learned; his healing spell used a different kind of mana than his other spells, but as far as he could tell they didn’t feel any different to cast. That could just be due to the fact that he was casting a spell that was innate to his species however, so he was just casting on instinct. It was possible some creatures just had certain affinities for certain kinds of magic after all; he might have an easier time casting nature spells than, say, fire or ice spells.
Well, that was something he could think about more later; for now he should probably fly around and make sure no-one was hurt in that lizard attack. Before he left he cast a Shield I spell on himself, observing the spell as he did so to try and glean a bit more information from his upgraded analysis skill; he was fairly sure the spell was non-elemental, but it never hurt to make sure.
Taking to the sky again with Lesser Flight, Oberon flew over to the small gathering of creatures he had seen earlier, the ones surrounding by dead lizards. Landing in front of the Dire Rats, hopefully making his entrance obvious enough that they wouldn’t be startled, Oberon approached them cautiously. “Hi, I’m Oberon. Do you guys need any help? Are any of you hurt?”

You have used a Mana Crystal. MP is fully restored.
2 Mana Crystals added to inventory.
1 Flame-Touched Mana Crystal added to inventory.

They wouldn't be nothing, but they would be drastically weaker than intended. Iron Man may not completely helpless without his suit, but he is definitely far weaker than he would be normally.
It's not an issue anyway, I'll just use a different character, it was just a restriction I did not expect.

Why are the technology based characters ruled out, though?
Don't characters like iron man, tenno(warframe), guardians(destiny), necrons(warhammer40K), masterchief(Halo), batman(DC) or Optimus Prime (transformers) have powers that still make them effective, even without their weapons?
Technology based characters was kind of a broad statement so I apologise about that. I meant characters who gain all or most of their abilities from using technology, someone like Captain Cold or Syndrome i.e. regular humans with powerful weapons.
You could probably still make the characters, but instead let the powers of the weapon be the powers of your characters.
That would make them a different character though. I'd still be able to use the same powers but it would completely alter their backstory.
Some of your examples raise an interesting questions though. @MikkishtheLeprechaun, do our characters also start without armour? What about stuff like magic rings that aren't weapons but which grant abilities?
@Satoshi Kyou
... in my defense, I had already written Jasmine's departure from the square before you sent Sana looking for her. I assumed you were going to write a follow up with Sana catching up to Jasmine but I guess you were waiting for me to write something letting you know where Jasmine was?
My next planned scene with Jasmine was going to be inside the Water Dorm, but that can change. Let me know what you want to do and let's figure something out.

7. You have no weapons to begin with, but will find some later. Ammo is not unlimited, however, and melee weapons can break.
This rules out any kind of technology based character, unfortunately. In fact, not being able to bring your own weapons rules out my top two character choices for this RP.
Also, you should maybe make it clearer in the first post that this RP is going to involve battling canon characters with our OC's. That was the main draw of this RP for me, but anyone stumbling on the thread at this point wouldn't get that from the first post as it is now.
