Bio

Well now that I got the customary "post once" requirement out of the way....

HELLO

Welcome to my safe space. Well, about as safe as one space can be, I guess. If you are here looking for something, I am very sorry to disappoint you, but I made fresh cookies! Come sit a spell.

I guess I'll do some more in-depth stuff about myself. My name is Nick and I am 33 years old living in Illinois. I am a therapist and clinical responder (which is a fancy way of saying I go out on police calls to provide mental health assistance). Been doing therapy for a few years now and I absolutely love it!

I am a gay, cisgender man. I came out last year in January (smack dab in the middle of a pandemic. Timing was always my downfall). There is still much I am learning, but I am proud and happy to be who I really am and not have to hide it anymore!

I am an avid gamer, especially roleplaying games (cue surprised and shock noises). I also enjoy writing and reading, especially mysteries. I am not new to roleplay, I promise. I have been doing it for years now in different formats. I am experienced, even if it doesn't seem like it.

I use humor as a coping mechanism for sure, but I also like laughing and enjoying myself. Life can be pretty sad and upsetting for the most part and I don't want to add to it.

Whew! That got deep!

I will be poking my nose around in spaces and hoping to jump headfirst into this. Some interests I have in terms of roleplay settings include superheroes, DnD, science fiction/fantasy, mysteries, thrillers, horror stuffs, apocolypse, and espionage. And I am a fan of most things pop culture. If you have any suggestions or possible roleplays you think I would love, please let me know.

Otherwise, stick around! This is gonna get wild!

Sheet is coming along, I wanted to re-work it and I may have to pick a new power since someone else seems to have submitted something similar to what I was thinking. Can there be the same powersets or do you want different ones? @Salsa Verde

I am talking a lot (mainly because I am excited) but I think I am going to reserve Thermal Manipulation. I can make that work easily within the confines of the rules set in place.

@Salsa Verde Gotcha. I may change it then because I don't know how to uniquely spin it. I was also thinking maybe Velocity Manipulation (slowing things down or speeding things up) as a potential power, but I may have to peruse the Superpower Wiki for inspiration.

I was thinking of Ice Manipulation/Magic as my power, but @Salsa Verde may I ask what you mean about erring on the side of caution when it comes to elemental powers? I don't want to step on any toes.

@Salsa Verde Also can I just say your CS game is on point! Reminds me of Lord Wraith

As Manon made her way to the fire, she felt eyes fall upon her. It was to be expected, given the fact she was crowded by an assortment of other witches, but she glanced back, just in case. Seeing no one calling to her, she continued her trek until she reached the fire pit. She smiled at the others surrounding it before she sat down, warming herself. She allowed her mind to wander in this moment. Her thoughts going back to her upbringing.

They rarely threw parties. Celebrations, in her family's opinion, left you open and vulnerable. Distraction was the enemy of preparation. Manon always felt this was silly. Her classmates in school would often have parties, celebrating life and years passing. After a while, Manon stopped getting invited because everyone knew she wouldn't be able to come anyway. And after that same while, Manon stopped expecting invitations, pretending they didn't bother her but feeling remorse all the same.

Now here she was, in the midst of a party and she was still alone. She didn't know anyone here entirely, but that was her choice. If she was going to be useful, she would have to bridge the gap and make relationships with others. Who knew? Perhaps it would lead to the reading she just had coming true. Wouldn't that be something?

As her thoughts raced, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked over to see one of the other witches she sat next to handing her something. It was a stick that held a piece of bread. Manon graciously accepted it. "Oh, thank you." The other witch nodded her acceptance and left Manon to grill her bread over the fire. It was a small gesture, but one she felt spoke volumes. As her piece grilled, Manon decided, then and there, to make an effort. If this party was any indication, it was that life was meant to be celebrated. Who knew what the next day would bring?

Post #1.01: Loose Threads


Kennedy was pulled from her invisible trek by a scientist calling out for help. At first, she assumed he just needed to be taken outside for safety, but his words were for the protection of Polaris, rather than himself. If the scientist's words were to be believed, Polaris wasn't evil, not really. Kennedy didn't understand psychology fully, but she knew enough to know that medication when used appropriately helped combat significant symptoms.

After she popped out of invisibility and told the scientist she would help Polaris (and ensure the scientist got out), Kennedy quickly pulled up a vision. The others were being thrown about every which way and, if she didn't stop him soon, the others would be hurt further and Polaris might be hurt or worse.

Kennedy tried to see where the medication was. One thing she hated about her visions was that she had very little control over what she could see at the moment. The pills could be in the trash can right next to someone, but unless that person looked, she couldn't tell. What she did see was Blitz. This caught her attention, especially as there was an intense fire behind the werewolf's eyes. Blitz lunged at the metal-controlling man and, in a quick, fierce swipe of his claw, thrashed open the man's throat as blood spurt out, soaking Blitz before the man crumpled.

Kennedy was brought back, gasping for air. She knew Blitz had difficulty controlling his powers sometimes, but if she didn't stop him, Polaris would be killed and as much as he was hurting others, it was beyond his control. If Kennedy could save him (and Blitz from killing another person) she would do all she could.

Kennedy ran back into the main room, seeing the others continue the fight against Polaris. She also caught Blitz, who appeared just about ready to unleash hell on the man. "Wait Blitz, don't!" she yelled. "I know what you want to do, but don't kill him! He's not himself. A co-worker of his said he has a personality disorder and is on medication. If you all can hold him, I'm going to try to find his meds. They said it might be in the trash." Kennedy was fully aware she was putting herself in a dangerous predicament, but the others needed to know not to fully hurt the man also.

With that, Kennedy attempted another vision, hoping to see if someone else found his medication now that they knew what to look for.
This seems pretty cool. Definitely interested.
