The end of an era (Fantasy)

@cosmicangler Just to make sure I'm not messing up a creature type you've made, Hallows can talk, right?

My CS

Name: Saria
Age: formed from shadows 2 months ago
Sex: female
Species: Hallow
Backstory: After taking a physical form, this Hallow gave herself a name. Exploring, she's looked at and waded in a shallow river, and observed some rabbits playing in a field. While investigating an abandoned campsite, she found clothes, and played around with the campfire's charcoal. But after exploring a town she discovered that other races are scared of her kind. A bit hurt by that, she is careful not to scare people and so mostly keeps out of towns and cities. Having an opportunity to be part of a group and escort someone sounded very appealing to her.
Appearance: Tall, pale, skinny, and modest - she wears old clothes she found discarded.
Personality: Typical Hallow personality: Innocent, kind, gentle. She is patient and very curious. Willing to do what she is told to do. Having experienced the world for 2 months, she knows to be cautious of certain things and ignore her curiosity at times. Also found out the hard way that bees don't like you eating their honey straight from the nest.

Alright, the backstory has been edited to show some things she's done. @cosmicangler

Post a random fact about yourself.

I will become an adult next year, 2020

Ban the Person above you

Banned for saying someone's too nice

Hivemind

Yes, a portable shelter would be perfect.
Exploration team to the west should be extremely careful if we do send them.

@Cyclone
I like your avatar pic!
Also:
Do suggestions on species upgrades have to be realistic?

The Tower: Bright Dawn

I'd be interested in this, so I'm making a character for you to look at.

Rachel James

Age:22
Gender:Female
Appearance:5'3 with short blonde hair, usually wearing jean shorts, a blue v-neck, and a gray hoodie. Face changes a lot due to a skill in makeup.
Para category/Threat level:Beta 3 usually, 4 when control is lost.

Powers:
Strong Telekinesis - Can control many things at once with her mind, crushing and lifting anything from a can to a train. She can even make weapons out of normaly safe objects, crushing them to a hard point and throwing it at a target. Her telekinesis also has a defensive property, in the form of a shield around her whole body. Using this shield takes concentration, though, so she can't use it all the time.
Burst - With a small amount of control of fire, and with the help of her stronger power, she can make something flammable explode. The more flammable, the bigger the explosion; if it was just something like dense wood, it'll be more like ripping it to pieces forcefully.

Skills:
Quiet - Can move silently. She always could as long as she wasn't stepping on anything noisy, but after the explosion she gained the ability to walk and run silently on anything.
Accurate - Due to an interest in bows and throwing-knives pre-para, her aim is on-point when using telekinesis for ranged attacks.
Almost perfect disguise - Because she used to be a makeup artist for a small movie studio, she can disguise herself to hide from those who hunt her. It takes a close look to recognize her.

Weaknesses:
Needs sight - If she can't see for any reason, she can't use her kinesis powers. She also panicks a bit and freezes due to an old fear of becoming blind.
Crazy - The Tower's explosion threw her emotions into chaos. One moment she may be laughing with you, the next she may want to rip your head off. She also kills random pedestrians for fun when she loses control.
Wanted - Because she sometimes kills at random, she is seen as a threat and is actively hunted.

Backstory:

After getting her senses back (mostly) after the explosion, she played around with her strange new abilities. Independent of the factions that arose, and fending for herself, she has made a couple hideouts in alleys that she blocked off from anyone who can't move a pile of cars. Anyone who comes too near gets pushed back if she sees them through the cars, cautious of anyone who might be a threat. Even though she could easily kill them, since an encounter with a flash bomb which hindered her powers for a few seconds too long, (which was carried by someone who looked like a normal person) she keeps people at a distance and uses disguises. Her hiding places are usually only for sleeping and stashing food; she's usually out causing trouble while in disguise. She hasn't been captured only because she was able to hide and disguise herself.

As for before becoming a Para, she worked at a small movie studio as a makeup artist. She enjoyed that job, as it allowed her to be creative. She always loved watching movies, loved the realistic effects and everything that happens behind the scenes which people don't acknowledge as much. She used to wander the city around the studio and her appartment a lot, and has mostly stayed in that area even after her change.

She used to like painting, reading, using her bow and throwing knives. But now she messes with people. She causes trouble, tripping people, crushing property, scaring people with small explosions. Though these are bad enough, sometimes she loses control, and instead kills or traps people. When in control of her emotions, she usually hates killing, but mostly because it brings attention to her, and she doesn't want to get captured.

Sample post

Rachel walks down the street, watching the cars zoom by. She has her hood up, helping her disguise. The cars' solar panels reflect the sky beautifully, but the sun was also reflected. Rachel looked away from the cars, not wanting to ruin her eyes. The memory of the bright flash and the resulting fail of her powers still haunted her.

Silently ducking into an alleyway, she watched from the shadows, bored. She wanted to mess with people, perhaps make a car do a backflip. Yeah, that would be fun. As she was deciding what to do to cure her boredom, she saw a cop walk out of the donut shop across the street with a donut box. Curious, she shielded her eyes from the cars' brightness and watched. Maybe something simple first, then make a car backflip. Looking around, she saw a bunch of trash further in the alley. Finding a small wrapper piece, she carefully sent it over to the cop, making it hover behind him. When he opened the box and took out a donut, Rachel quickly placed the piece of wrapper on the donut. When he bit into it, a confused look came over his face. Spitting out the bite, he looked down at the soggy paper mixed in with the chewed bits of the donut. He angrily threw the rest of the donut on the ground, and stomped into the shop and gestured with the rest of the box. As the door slowly closed, Rachel could her him yell, "I warned you, NO MORE MISTAKES, YOU STUPID - " Rachel couldn't hear the rest, as the door closed. She giggled. Now, time for some backflipping cars...

She didn't know how or why it happened again, but it did. One minute she was giving people a crazy unexpected ride by making cars flip, the next she angrily started crushing them, with the people still inside. It was a short burst of anger, luckily, so she ran as soon as she could, dodging shots from stun bullets, using her shield when needed. Running through alleys, around cars, silently gaining speed. Turning a corner, she looked back and saw she lost the cops that were chasing her. Running faster, almost tripping, she threw herself into one of two deadend alleys she made into her safe spots. Running towards the cars roughly disguised as the walls, she moved them up slightly and dove through, placing them back as quietly as possible. Peeking through a small gap, she watched as most of the cops ran past, but a few stopped and looked around. She covered her mouth, quieting her heavy breathing. They walked away, looking around. Rachel had made sure that her hideouts were almost impossible to see, unless you knew what to look for. Her painting skill as a normal human really came in handy. The thermal hiding tech she stole is also useful. She walked to the back wall and grabbed some chips. That run was exhausting.

The end of an era (Fantasy)

I'd be interested in this. Hope I'm not too late... Could I be a Hallow?

Also, where would I put my character sheet?(I'm new to this site)

Hivemind

Upgrade the workers' saliva to be even more sticky, for better trap capability and building stregnth. Increase the defenses by strengthening the hive walls with new coats of the stronger concrete. Above ground, bring the hive up to about halfway up the bushes, and make those walls super thick to keep them safe from collapse by large creature attacks.

Work on developing wings for the regular warriors for aerial attacks.

Hello!

I've always liked the type of roleplaying I've seen as I've looked at this site. So hello! I hope this place proves to have a nice and creative community.
