Hello, I am Knight and I would like one or more role-playing partners. But before you jump in and say, “I’ll Role-Play with you!” There are some things you need to know about me first.
My Role-Player Profile
OOC Chat & Communication: Absolutely! Communication is key and I love to communicate with those I role-play with. I also love getting to know my role-playing partners so our communication does not necessarily mean role-playing only, it can be a chat between two potential friends as well.
Format: One-on-One and small groups.
Favorite Genres & Fandoms: My favorite ones are Super-Heroes, Sci-Fi and some Fantasy (depending on the premise and the setting). I’m open to most other genres, as well as fandoms, and I will play in them if my role-playing partner is interested in them. It never hurts to ask.
Aside from the genre I am about to cover, I don't do Slice of Life role-plays. If I want that, I'll just live my life since that's basically all it is.
No Horror: There is one genre I absolutely hate and I will NOT play in it. If it’s 100% pure Horror, I won’t touch it. If the RP is going to be primarily about Ghosts, Zombies (I especially HATE zombies), psycho killers and anything else seen in horror films/TV then count me out. Now, if my RP with someone has some horror elements, creatures, monsters and crazy people (i.e. like the Joker) then I’m okay with that. Just so long as it’s not the entire focus of it, then I’m good to go. Otherwise, no thank you.
I’m okay with Vampires, Werewolves and other creatures of the night, just so long as you don’t change my character into a Vampire, or Werewolf, without asking me first. Speaking of which, I’m okay with some elements of the supernatural, like the creatures I just mentioned, but not all. It depends on the premise and the setting of what someone else wants to do with that.
Posting Schedule: Sunday through Thursday is my schedule for role-playing. I will not be available every Friday and Saturday. I will check PM’s, however, and make responses to Out of Character PM’s, but not In Character ones. I’m sorry, but Fridays and Saturdays are not very good days for me to role-play.
Posting Speed: I’ll try and post every day, but sometimes I will post once every other day if I feel uninspired or I get a case of writers block. On the other hand, if I’m waiting for a post from you then take as much time as you need. I will check in on you to see if your still alive or just to chat. For me, it’s not about how often one posts, but it’s about the quality of the post you can give me.
I don’t care how often you give me a post just so long as it’s at least once a week. Preferably more often than that, but I won’t make a fuss of it. If you cannot manage that, then please let me know and I’ll wait patiently. And if anything happens in real life that gets in the way, please drop me a line as I’d greatly appreciate being informed if you cannot post for any reason. In turn, I will do the same for you.
Writing Level: Intermediate to Advanced. I will consistently provide 2 paragraphs at minimum but I will always try to give 3 or more. On the other hand, I do respectfully ask the same from my role-playing partners. I hate one liners and short posts because I want content to work with. I realize that real life can get in the way, school, work, etc, and so a paragraph, or a few sentences, might be all you can manage, especially during a slow conversation. However, I would prefer my role-playing partners are able to give me 2 to 3 decent sized paragraph sized posts on a consistent basis.
Public Vs. Private Messages: Depending on where you want to play, I’m fine if we role-play in PM’s or on the forum. However, I will not role-play by E-Mail, Discord or any other method.
Mature Rating: I would prefer if our role-plays remain equal to what you see and hear in a movie that is rated PG-13. However, I will do 18+ role-plays. All I ask is that you please make an effort to keep the profanity to a minimum.
A Word About Characters: I’m perfectly fine with one-and-done characters where I create a character, role-play him/her and then once the RP concludes I never play that character again. But I’m also a huge fan of keeping my characters and having more than just one adventure with them. I like to continue their stories and continue their character development/growth. So, if you do role-play with me, please be prepared for the possibility of keeping your characters for future stories once one role-play concludes. I may wish to revisit the same characters with a brand new story/plot in the future.
Character & Gender Preference: I’m flexible with the types of characters I play because I’m equally comfortable playing men as well as women. I have even played teenagers and children. I have also played characters with an inhuman appearance. I have played most personality types from submissive to aggressive, from tough guys to strong women. I like to keep flexible so if you prefer a certain character type then please let me know.
Romantic Relationships: Male & Female only.
A Word about Character Pictures & Face Claims: I have no issues if you want to use anime, cartoon, real life, CGI or even a comic pic for your character. Use whatever you want.
Rules: Sorry, but I do have some rules if you want to RP with me. I have tried to keep them as simple as possible so please bear with me.
1. Please work with me. I love working with other people to bounce ideas off of them. I don’t want to run the entire plot myself and I’d rather not have you do it by yourself either. We’re a team, we are in this together so let’s work as a team.
2. I’m sorry, but I’ll need a sample of your writing. Many claim they can deliver what I ask only to deliver one liner posts.
3. I don’t do smut Role-Plays. I’m okay with our characters sharing a kiss, holding hands, hugging or even sharing the same bed. But if it goes any further than that, it’s always a black curtain and a fast forward for me. I’m not against romance, I just don’t play out anything beyond a kiss. If all you want is romance between our characters, I’m out. I’m not against romance or having my character fall in love with someone else’s character. But if my RP with you is going to be nothing but romance or heavy with romance and little else, then I want nothing to do with it.
My focus is story, action, drama, character growth and character development. Not necessarily in that order, but all of those things take the priority over romance for me. If romance happens, I’d rather let it happen naturally and not force it.
4. Please don’t control my character without my permission. If you want to do something because of the context of your post, then please ask me first. I will likely be open to it and say yes. And please don’t give your character knowledge they should not possess. For example: Just because you know my character is moonlighting as a super-hero does not mean your character does.
5. If your interested in role-playing with me, then please PM me. If you message me on the forum and say to PM you, expect to be ignored.
Now that the rules are out of the way, let’s get to what I am most interested in. All of these are just basic ideas to start us off so sending me a private message to bounce ideas off of me would be a good thing so that we can work on a plot & story together. I want to see what we both can up with because I don’t want to do all the work.
Amalgam: The DC and Marvel Universe have combined! It’s chaos! We can either play as canon characters or originals, doesn’t matter. If canon characters are picked, all I ask is you have a working knowledge of the character your playing so you can stay in character. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but please make an effort to know the character your going to play.
Original Super-Hero Setting: I’m open to an original super-hero setting that isn’t based in any known comic book universe.
Star Wars: Original characters only, set in a time period either long after the last movie or long before them. For this one I actually do have something of a plot in mind but it’s a simple one and not overly detailed so I’d love to bounce ideas off of you if your interested.
Star Trek: Set in the year 2409, this takes place in the main time line and several years after the last movie. Original characters only. I’ll play the Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC 1701-F and some members of the crew. I would appreciate it if my role-playing partner is willing to not only play his/her character but also NPC some of the other crew members as well.
Original Fantasy Setting: This will take place thousands of years in the past on Earth (or in an original fantasy setting of our own creation). But this is not a historical setting since my character will have super-human strength like Hercules. But he/she won’t be a demigod or anything like that. I am open to the ‘gods’ existing if your into that. I’m also open to readjusting the time line of this setting if a later one works better for you, but I would prefer this setting is kept sometime in the BC era.
Mass Effect: This sounds fun. I can either take on one of the canon characters or an original if you like.
Other Genres & Fandoms: Anything I don’t have listed doesn’t necessarily mean I’m not willing to play it. It won’t hurt to ask me and see if I’m willing to to do it.
[Characters in Play]:
Please click on the hider to reveal my bio for Samson Riker.
Physical Form: Samson has a muscular build that he maintains daily with an intense work out routine and a strict diet. He wears his hair short and and combed daily.
Race: Human Elemental
Personality: Samson likes to make bad puns and jokes as well as make pulp culture references since he considers himself a nerd along with a movie buff. As an officer of the law, Samson can be serious and by the book.
-[POWERS & ABILITIES]-
Super Strength & Durability: Samson is really strong, but the upper limit to his strength is unknown as he has never tested it's limits. While his base strength is impressive, he gets stronger when his body is flooded with adrenaline in the fight or flight response and he is capable of feats otherwise deemed impossible otherwise. On another note, Samson also has impressive durability since he has shown to be highly resistant to blunt force trauma, physical damage from punches or kicks, being thrown through brick walls and even falling from great heights without suffering any harm. Sufficiently powerful force IS capable of hurting Samson, however.
While Samson has a high resistance to physical attacks and the like, this is not the case when it comes to other forms of damage such as arrows, bullets and similar kinds of weaponry which will easily penetrate his skin the same as they would any ordinary human.
While Samson does not possess a true healing factor, he does heal from injuries in half the time it takes a normal human and without any scarring.
Fire Generation & Manipulation: Samson can generate and control his own fire as well as other naturally occurring fires all around him. He can shoot either streams of fire from his mouth, hands or any part of his body. He can also control the overall temperature by raising it to be extremely hot or absorb the heat in a small area to make it very cold. As Samson grows in experience, there is no telling what else he can do with this power.
-[SKILLS & OTHER ABILITIES]-
Detective: Samson is a skilled detective, able to pick out clues others miss and solve difficult cases.
Defensive Driving: As a Cop, Samson had to take defensive driving classes so he could drive cars the same way police officers do in case he needs to perform complicated maneuvers while driving a car at high speed during pursuits
Expert Martial Artist: Samson has studied hand to hand combat under the instructors in Police Academy and has continued to train under other martial arts instructors to become better.
Expert Tracker: Thanks to the hunting trips he used to take with his father and uncle during his childhood, Samson has become a skilled tracker, be it man or beast.
First Aid: Samson is skilled in various first aid techniques.
Leadership & Teamwork: During his time in the police academy, Samson learned some valuable leadership skills and to work as a team with others.
Mechanic: Samson is no master, nor is he an expert, but he is still a pretty good mechanic when it comes to working on cars and various other vehicles.
Peak Physical Conditioning: Samson works out daily and his work out routine is very intense. He maintains a very strict diet and because of this, he's in peak physical condition for a man of his height, size and build. He can hold his breath for 5 minutes and 37 seconds.
Weapons Expert: During his time in the police force, Samson learned how to handle, build, repair, take apart, maintain and fire police issue handguns.
Wilderness Survival: Samson was a boy scout when he was growing up and learned various survival skills. Combined with his police training later in life, he has learned to survive in most environments. He knows what is edible to eat, where to find water, build make shift shelters and survive either until help comes or until he finds civilization.
-[EQUIPMENT]-
Bulletproof Vest: Samson usually wears a bulletproof vest while working as a Cop. It's best to be prepared for everything.
Handgun (Springfield XD): Samson usually carries a Springfield XD (X-treme Duty) and it is a 9mm semi-automatic pistol that is polymer-framed and striker-fired. The gun makes use of a polymer frame with steel inserts, mounting rail and trigger-mounted safety. An indicator protrudes from the rear of the slide when the striker is cocked. A loaded chamber indicator pivots up on top of the slide when a round is in the chamber being both visual and tactile. An ambidextrous magazine release is also standard. Take down of the pistol is through a lever on the left side of the frame that rotates up, allowing the slide to move forward off the frame. Samson always carries 3 extra ammo clips for his gun, not counting the one already inside his gun. Each clip contains 16 9mm rounds.
Squad Car: Samson usually drives his police issue squad car that comes with all the normal stuff law enforcement vehicles come with.
Other Stuff: Aside from a regular street vehicle and a house, along with the normal things that come with having a job, Samson's other possessions are ordinary and not worth mentioning.
-[BRIEF HISTORY]-
Samson showed no elemental powers while growing up other than being slightly stronger than most boys his age, as well as taller. Very few bullies bothered him though because he wouldn't tolerate grief from anyone. He never wanted to enter the boy scouts but his mother made him and his brother go. Both got most badges on their sashes and enjoyed it immensely even if they both hated it at first.
Samson lived a pretty ordinary childhood until everything changed when his strength emerged when he was a teenager. However, he managed to keep it a secret except from his brother who thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Lance wanted Samson to become a super-hero like in the comics, but Samson didn't want anything to do with that because he didn't want to be found out by the Government and dissected like some freak. Working together the brothers worked on Samson's strength to help him control it enough to live a relatively normal life.
Other than some close calls, Samson managed to keep his great strength hidden from other family members and friends. He decided to enter the Police Academy in order to best use his abilities to serve the law and protect civilians, but Lance had to talk his brother into doing it to begin with.
But now Samson's other power of Fire Generation and Manipulation is beginning to emerge. Will he be found out? And if so, what will his fellow officers think of him? Only time will tell...
@Mistiel For me, one and done characters are good in the sense that a player gets to create and play multiple personality types, as well as backgrounds. Much like an actor on TV. But long lasting characters that are used for multiple stories are better fleshed out in my opinion because a lot more character growth/development can be made with long lasting characters. For me, I love using the same/similar characters because I'm not done telling their stories. One and done characters leave me feeling so unsatisfied. What if the RP dies before it truly starts? What if it lasts a month before ending? What if I want to revisit the same character later down the road, but can't because one and done characters are norm?
So, to answer your question, I think it's perfectly fine for you to hold onto 3 or 4 characters and adapt them as needed depending on the type of RP you wish to enter. I think a healthy balance is to do one and done characters as well as persistent characters.
First, I think a persistent Star Wars Universe is a great idea. I'm anxious to see what is done with it. After reading through most of these threads, it looks like the Mods for this universe are almost ready to implement their guides, plans and work. Which is good.
I'd like to see players take the roles of chancellors, politicians and Sith Lords so we can see them attempt to control the in game galaxy (that is, if the rules allow it).
I also hope to see this grow, see what works and see what does not with some adjusting to what does not work in order to change things so that it does work. Most of all, I'd like this to be active, alive and everyone having a great time. I'm sure the mods will try their best to make everyone feel welcome, answer questions and help all they can. I might make a character or two for this, but I'll wait until the character creation guides/rules come out first.

[b][color=red]Peak Physical Conditioning:[/color][/b] Samson works out daily and his work out routine is very intense. He maintains a very strict diet and because of this, he's in peak physical condition for a man of his height, size and build. He can hold his breath for 5 minutes and 37 seconds.
[b][color=red]Weapons Expert:[/color][/b] During his time in the police force, Samson learned how to handle, build, repair, take apart, maintain and fire police issue handguns.
[b][color=red]Wilderness Survival:[/color][/b] Samson was a boy scout when he was growing up and learned various survival skills. Combined with his police training later in life, he has learned to survive in most environments. He knows what is edible to eat, where to find water, build make shift shelters and survive either until help comes or until he finds civilization.
[b][center][color=red][h3]-[EQUIPMENT]-[/h3][/color][/center][/b]
[b][color=red]Bulletproof Vest:[/color][/b] Samson usually wears a bulletproof vest while working as a Cop. It's best to be prepared for everything.
[b][color=red]Handgun (Springfield XD):[/color][/b] Samson usually carries a Springfield XD (X-treme Duty) and it is a 9mm semi-automatic pistol that is polymer-framed and striker-fired. The gun makes use of a polymer frame with steel inserts, mounting rail and trigger-mounted safety. An indicator protrudes from the rear of the slide when the striker is cocked. A loaded chamber indicator pivots up on top of the slide when a round is in the chamber being both visual and tactile. An ambidextrous magazine release is also standard. Take down of the pistol is through a lever on the left side of the frame that rotates up, allowing the slide to move forward off the frame. Samson always carries 3 extra ammo clips for his gun, not counting the one already inside his gun. Each clip contains 16 9mm rounds.
[b][color=red]Squad Car:[/color][/b] Samson usually drives his police issue squad car that comes with all the normal stuff law enforcement vehicles come with.
[b][color=red]Other Stuff:[/color][/b] Aside from a regular street vehicle and a house, along with the normal things that come with having a job, Samson's other possessions are ordinary and not worth mentioning.
[b][color=red][center][h3]-[BRIEF HISTORY]-[/h3][/center][/color][/b]
Samson showed no elemental powers while growing up other than being slightly stronger than most boys his age, as well as taller. Very few bullies bothered him though because he wouldn't tolerate grief from anyone. He never wanted to enter the boy scouts but his mother made him and his brother go. Both got most badges on their sashes and enjoyed it immensely even if they both hated it at first.
Samson lived a pretty ordinary childhood until everything changed when his strength emerged when he was a teenager. However, he managed to keep it a secret except from his brother who thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Lance wanted Samson to become a super-hero like in the comics, but Samson didn't want anything to do with that because he didn't want to be found out by the Government and dissected like some freak. Working together the brothers worked on Samson's strength to help him control it enough to live a relatively normal life.
Other than some close calls, Samson managed to keep his great strength hidden from other family members and friends. He decided to enter the Police Academy in order to best use his abilities to serve the law and protect civilians, but Lance had to talk his brother into doing it to begin with.
But now Samson's other power of Fire Generation and Manipulation is beginning to emerge. Will he be found out? And if so, what will his fellow officers think of him? Only time will tell...[/hider]
<div style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Hello, I am Knight and I would like one or more role-playing partners. But before you jump in and say, “I’ll Role-Play with you!” There are some things you need to know about me first.<br><br><div class="bb-center"><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue"><div class="bb-h3">My Role-Player Profile</div></font></span></div><br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">OOC Chat & Communication:</font></span> Absolutely! Communication is key and I love to communicate with those I role-play with. I also love getting to know my role-playing partners so our communication does not necessarily mean role-playing only, it can be a chat between two potential friends as well.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Format:</font></span> One-on-One and small groups.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Favorite Genres & Fandoms:</font></span> My favorite ones are Super-Heroes, Sci-Fi and some Fantasy (depending on the premise and the setting). I’m open to most other genres, as well as fandoms, and I will play in them if my role-playing partner is interested in them. It never hurts to ask. <br><br>Aside from the genre I am about to cover, I don't do Slice of Life role-plays. If I want that, I'll just live my life since that's basically all it is. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">No Horror:</font></span> There is one genre I absolutely hate and I will NOT play in it. If it’s 100% pure Horror, I won’t touch it. If the RP is going to be primarily about Ghosts, Zombies (I especially HATE zombies), psycho killers and anything else seen in horror films/TV then count me out. Now, if my RP with someone has some horror elements, creatures, monsters and crazy people (i.e. like the Joker) then I’m okay with that. Just so long as it’s not the entire focus of it, then I’m good to go. Otherwise, no thank you.<br><br>I’m okay with Vampires, Werewolves and other creatures of the night, just so long as you don’t change my character into a Vampire, or Werewolf, without asking me first. Speaking of which, I’m okay with some elements of the supernatural, like the creatures I just mentioned, but not all. It depends on the premise and the setting of what someone else wants to do with that. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Posting Schedule:</font></span> Sunday through Thursday is my schedule for role-playing. I will not be available every Friday and Saturday. I will check PM’s, however, and make responses to Out of Character PM’s, but not In Character ones. I’m sorry, but Fridays and Saturdays are not very good days for me to role-play. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Posting Speed:</font></span> I’ll try and post every day, but sometimes I will post once every other day if I feel uninspired or I get a case of writers block. On the other hand, if I’m waiting for a post from you then take as much time as you need. I will check in on you to see if your still alive or just to chat. For me, it’s not about how often one posts, but it’s about the quality of the post you can give me. <br><br>I don’t care how often you give me a post just so long as it’s at least once a week. Preferably more often than that, but I won’t make a fuss of it. If you cannot manage that, then please let me know and I’ll wait patiently. And if anything happens in real life that gets in the way, please drop me a line as I’d greatly appreciate being informed if you cannot post for any reason. In turn, I will do the same for you.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Writing Level:</font></span> Intermediate to Advanced. I will consistently provide 2 paragraphs at minimum but I will always try to give 3 or more. On the other hand, I do respectfully ask the same from my role-playing partners. I hate one liners and short posts because I want content to work with. I realize that real life can get in the way, school, work, etc, and so a paragraph, or a few sentences, might be all you can manage, especially during a slow conversation. However, I would prefer my role-playing partners are able to give me 2 to 3 decent sized paragraph sized posts on a consistent basis.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Public Vs. Private Messages:</font></span> Depending on where you want to play, I’m fine if we role-play in PM’s or on the forum. However, I will not role-play by E-Mail, Discord or any other method. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Mature Rating:</font></span> I would prefer if our role-plays remain equal to what you see and hear in a movie that is rated PG-13. However, I will do 18+ role-plays. All I ask is that you please make an effort to keep the profanity to a minimum. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">A Word About Characters:</font></span> I’m perfectly fine with one-and-done characters where I create a character, role-play him/her and then once the RP concludes I never play that character again. But I’m also a huge fan of keeping my characters and having more than just one adventure with them. I like to continue their stories and continue their character development/growth. So, if you do role-play with me, please be prepared for the possibility of keeping your characters for future stories once one role-play concludes. I may wish to revisit the same characters with a brand new story/plot in the future.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Character & Gender Preference:</font></span> I’m flexible with the types of characters I play because I’m equally comfortable playing men as well as women. I have even played teenagers and children. I have also played characters with an inhuman appearance. I have played most personality types from submissive to aggressive, from tough guys to strong women. I like to keep flexible so if you prefer a certain character type then please let me know.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Romantic Relationships:</font></span> Male & Female only. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">A Word about Character Pictures & Face Claims:</font></span> I have no issues if you want to use anime, cartoon, real life, CGI or even a comic pic for your character. Use whatever you want.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Rules:</font></span> Sorry, but I do have some rules if you want to RP with me. I have tried to keep them as simple as possible so please bear with me.<br><br>1. Please work with me. I love working with other people to bounce ideas off of them. I don’t want to run the entire plot myself and I’d rather not have you do it by yourself either. We’re a team, we are in this together so let’s work as a team. <br> <br>2. I’m sorry, but I’ll need a sample of your writing. Many claim they can deliver what I ask only to deliver one liner posts. <br><br>3. I don’t do smut Role-Plays. I’m okay with our characters sharing a kiss, holding hands, hugging or even sharing the same bed. But if it goes any further than that, it’s always a black curtain and a fast forward for me. I’m not against romance, I just don’t play out anything beyond a kiss. If all you want is romance between our characters, I’m out. I’m not against romance or having my character fall in love with someone else’s character. But if my RP with you is going to be nothing but romance or heavy with romance and little else, then I want nothing to do with it. <br><br>My focus is story, action, drama, character growth and character development. Not necessarily in that order, but all of those things take the priority over romance for me. If romance happens, I’d rather let it happen naturally and not force it. <br><br>4. Please don’t control my character without my permission. If you want to do something because of the context of your post, then please ask me first. I will likely be open to it and say yes. And please don’t give your character knowledge they should not possess. For example: Just because you know my character is moonlighting as a super-hero does not mean your character does.<br><br>5. If your interested in role-playing with me, then please PM me. If you message me on the forum and say to PM you, expect to be ignored.<br><br>Now that the rules are out of the way, let’s get to what I am most interested in. All of these are just basic ideas to start us off so sending me a private message to bounce ideas off of me would be a good thing so that we can work on a plot & story together. I want to see what we both can up with because I don’t want to do all the work.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Amalgam:</font></span> The DC and Marvel Universe have combined! It’s chaos! We can either play as canon characters or originals, doesn’t matter. If canon characters are picked, all I ask is you have a working knowledge of the character your playing so you can stay in character. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but please make an effort to know the character your going to play.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Original Super-Hero Setting:</font></span> I’m open to an original super-hero setting that isn’t based in any known comic book universe.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Star Wars:</font></span> Original characters only, set in a time period either long after the last movie or long before them. For this one I actually do have something of a plot in mind but it’s a simple one and not overly detailed so I’d love to bounce ideas off of you if your interested.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Star Trek:</font></span> Set in the year 2409, this takes place in the main time line and several years after the last movie. Original characters only. I’ll play the Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC 1701-F and some members of the crew. I would appreciate it if my role-playing partner is willing to not only play his/her character but also NPC some of the other crew members as well. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Original Fantasy Setting:</font></span> This will take place thousands of years in the past on Earth (or in an original fantasy setting of our own creation). But this is not a historical setting since my character will have super-human strength like Hercules. But he/she won’t be a demigod or anything like that. I am open to the ‘gods’ existing if your into that. I’m also open to readjusting the time line of this setting if a later one works better for you, but I would prefer this setting is kept sometime in the BC era.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Mass Effect:</font></span> This sounds fun. I can either take on one of the canon characters or an original if you like. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="dodgerblue">Other Genres & Fandoms:</font></span> Anything I don’t have listed doesn’t necessarily mean I’m not willing to play it. It won’t hurt to ask me and see if I’m willing to to do it. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red"><div class="bb-h3">[Characters in Play]:</div></font></span><br><br>Please click on the hider to reveal my bio for Samson Riker.<br><br><div class="hider-panel"><div class="hider-heading"><button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button" data-name="Hider">Hider [+]</button></div><div class="hider-body" style="display: none"><div class="bb-center"><span class="bb-b"><font color="red"><div class="bb-h3">-[SAMSON RIKER]-</div></font></span></div><br><br><div class="bb-center"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/2jsHYSkh/MV5-BZjhm-OTY2-NWMt-ODg1-MC00-MDc5-LTgy-Mz-Ut-Nm-Vi-MDFi-Yj-Fh-Nzc1-Xk-Ey-Xk-Fqc-Gde.jpg]" /></div><br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Real Name:</font></span> Samson Riker<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Alignment:</font></span> Good<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Occupation:</font></span> Police Officer<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Base Of Operations:</font></span> New York City<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Affiliation:</font></span> The Police Force.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Citizenship:</font></span> The United States of America<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Place of Birth:</font></span> The Bronx, New York<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Education:</font></span> High School & Police Academy<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Marital Status:</font></span> Single<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Relatives:</font></span> Eric Riker (Father), Martha Riker (Mother), Lance Riker (Younger Brother).<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Gender:</font></span> Male<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Orientation:</font></span> Heterosexual<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Age:</font></span> 24<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Height:</font></span> 6'5"<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Weight:</font></span> 235 lbs<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Eyes:</font></span> Blue<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Hair:</font></span> Brown<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Physical Form:</font></span> Samson has a muscular build that he maintains daily with an intense work out routine and a strict diet. He wears his hair short and and combed daily. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Race:</font></span> Human Elemental<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Personality:</font></span> Samson likes to make bad puns and jokes as well as make pulp culture references since he considers himself a nerd along with a movie buff. As an officer of the law, Samson can be serious and by the book. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><div class="bb-center"><font color="red"><div class="bb-h3">-[POWERS & ABILITIES]-</div></font></div></span><br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Super Strength & Durability:</font></span> Samson is really strong, but the upper limit to his strength is unknown as he has never tested it's limits. While his base strength is impressive, he gets stronger when his body is flooded with adrenaline in the fight or flight response and he is capable of feats otherwise deemed impossible otherwise. On another note, Samson also has impressive durability since he has shown to be highly resistant to blunt force trauma, physical damage from punches or kicks, being thrown through brick walls and even falling from great heights without suffering any harm. Sufficiently powerful force IS capable of hurting Samson, however. <br><br>While Samson has a high resistance to physical attacks and the like, this is not the case when it comes to other forms of damage such as arrows, bullets and similar kinds of weaponry which will easily penetrate his skin the same as they would any ordinary human. <br><br>While Samson does not possess a true healing factor, he does heal from injuries in half the time it takes a normal human and without any scarring. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Fire Generation & Manipulation:</font></span> Samson can generate and control his own fire as well as other naturally occurring fires all around him. He can shoot either streams of fire from his mouth, hands or any part of his body. He can also control the overall temperature by raising it to be extremely hot or absorb the heat in a small area to make it very cold. As Samson grows in experience, there is no telling what else he can do with this power.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><div class="bb-center"><font color="red"><div class="bb-h3">-[SKILLS & OTHER ABILITIES]-</div></font></div></span><br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Detective:</font></span> Samson is a skilled detective, able to pick out clues others miss and solve difficult cases.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Defensive Driving:</font></span> As a Cop, Samson had to take defensive driving classes so he could drive cars the same way police officers do in case he needs to perform complicated maneuvers while driving a car at high speed during pursuits<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Expert Martial Artist:</font></span> Samson has studied hand to hand combat under the instructors in Police Academy and has continued to train under other martial arts instructors to become better. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Expert Tracker:</font></span> Thanks to the hunting trips he used to take with his father and uncle during his childhood, Samson has become a skilled tracker, be it man or beast. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">First Aid:</font></span> Samson is skilled in various first aid techniques. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Leadership & Teamwork:</font></span> During his time in the police academy, Samson learned some valuable leadership skills and to work as a team with others.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Mechanic:</font></span> Samson is no master, nor is he an expert, but he is still a pretty good mechanic when it comes to working on cars and various other vehicles. <br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="red">Peak Physical Conditioning:</font></span> Samson works out daily and his work out routine is very intense.
