I'm definitely one of those people who never changes their avatar or signature and I'm 100% ok with that.

Bio

I'm not sure what I did to lure you here but I do apologize and I also would like to welcome you to my page. Now with the pleasantries aside, a bit about me.

I have been role playing for about 3 maybe 4 years now, I love writing and I spend a lot of free time doing just that. I also spend a lot of time that is meant to be for work writing but that's another story. I live in the American midwest (think great lakes region) so that should give you an idea of my timezone. That being said I am often up at many hours of the night, or morning depending on your point of view.

I am indeed a girl and she/her whatever works.

Cer nodded back to Jackson's acceptance, "Tomorrow sounds good, we'll start with figuring out your strengths and weaknesses and we'll go from there." She felt a bit wary of all the ground they would have to cover in a short time, there was no guarantee that he knew anything about his powers. Although a challenge was really what she needed right now, something to set her mind to while the grief and loss wore off. She watched him walk away and was about to leave herself when he abruptly turned around and asked, "You're not going to try and get rid of them, are you?" She responded with a sad smile, "I couldn't even if I wanted to, but I have a feeling we both know that already." He left then, satisfied with her answer as far as she could tell.

The evening was quickly approaching and Cer would have to conform once again to the idea of sleep. She'd already done a quick tour of the HQ, catching a glimpse of Light training, an odd sight really. She had gone to the apartment to pick up her car and do a less hands on observation of the city. That was how she found herself down by the docks again, uncomfortably close to a certain burnt warehouse. This time her eyes were on the ocean, this place haunted her more that she wanted to acknowledge. Cer stood there for a few minuets longer before driving back to the apartment. That night she began the lengthy process of searching through the recovered MHLA files for evidence, she made little progress and had to eventually quit to get ready to train Jackson.

Cer showed up at the HQ less than an hour after sun rise. She was already in her training gear, which wasn't particularly special besides a pair of biking gloves inlaid with a metal that almost seemed to glow. She checked in and got directions to Jackson's room where she found the door inexplicably unlocked. She knocked first before entering, per social norm and found him asleep in a bed that looked like it had been through hell. She clicked her tongue, this was a sign of a lack of control, even an amateur could tell that but she saw potential in that too. She reached out to gently tap his shoulder "Rise and shine. We've got work to do."

Fun fact: Rofls counted how many page downs it took to get to the bottom of our IC pages, and I think page 3 or 4 took something like 40 page downs


Doesn't surprise me at all.

Problem is that super-long posts are, well, said to be a mark of merit in most 'serious' RPing sites, especially Casual and Advanced ones.


I find that trend rather annoying because there are times when I write super long posts that suck and really belong in the free section. Length does not equal quality and it's hard to always remember that.
Cer listened to Jackson's concerns and caught his glare, she stared right at him and smiled, if he though he could intimidate her he had another thing coming. At least this was evidence his guard was already up and he was being rather protective. She could work with this. "Oh Jackson, you're still rather naïve aren't you? A lot of what goes on in this place is going to be above your head, the difference between this place and others is if you tried to leave, they would let you. Whether or not that's a good idea is for you to decide. I know about your past, well some of it the files are a bit spotty. You lack focus to use your power properly, and trust me I know more about it than you would think." Her smile turned a bit more sly and she said quietly, "I know plenty about split personalities too, I think you'd be surprised how similar we are." She stopped to let him process, an image of a teenaged version of herself popped into her head. She'd been much worse, Avarice had almost won back in those days. This was no time to be reminiscing, this kid was going to worse in different ways.

"You need a reason? I need a reason to trust you too don't I? You've had it pretty rough but you're in no place to make demands, if you don't want to learn how to control your powers then I have no business forcing you to learn. There are other assignments I can be doing. The only thing that you have to trust me by is the fact that I'm unsure whether to trust these people either. If that's not enough then I can go." She hadn't realized how serious she had gotten her mouth was now a hard line, she softened a bit, " A schedule is a basically a plan." She sighed, "Look, the only way people can help you is if you let them. I understand that you may not be ready for this, its not an easy task, I'll come back tomorrow if you want some time to think."

Both great characters. I actually feel like I'm channeling Dean Winchester with Nate. He's essentially a good guy but he has moments where he's kind of an asshole.


I knew I was getting a Dean vibe from Nathan. Badass guy, who knows something will be bad for him but does it any way because it's the right thing. Also pretends to be more of a ladies man than he is.
Cer hated paperwork, she would never say so but paper work made her want to scream. Controlled emotions or not her annoyance was rather clear, she barely managed to smile for her ID card. They were puzzled by the fact that her only records were an adoption certificate and her Meta Registration forms. No birth certificate, no passport, no foreign documents. Her adoption record made it clear that she was American but there was no documentation that usually came with an American. She had no answers for them, she didn't know if she ever had any of those things. It took a while to get everything sorted out, a lot of her registration was based on her word since there was no verification. It only took a little longer to get her standard gear, safe phone and Bluetooth ear piece, and ID card, which apparently gave her access to anything available to her level of security clearance which was rather low but she wasn't going to push it.

With that she left the office, thanking Light and insisting that she could find her own way there. Cer momentarily entertained the idea of asking the stranger, whose name now appeared to be Nathan to walk with her but she decided otherwise, she still felt like there was reason to be wary of him. Her 'company phone' had directions to the HQ which was several blocks away, so in all a rather short walk. She noticed the closer to the HQ she got the nicer the area seemed as well as the more meta-oriented if you could call it that. There were many businesses in the area that had capitalized on Meta abilities, from builders who promised to get any job done in a day and surprisingly came through to a restaurant that could make any food you ordered, from frogs legs to pizza to biscuits they had it all. there was a clinic that regularly preformed perfect surgeries no mater the procedure and a store that sold tech gear that could only have been made by a technopath. This was a neighbor hood of metas who had seen an opportunity to turn their ability into a profit and used it. She could feel the power in the people too, a surprising majority of the people on the street were metas of varying ranks. Cer was so distracted that she almost didn't notice the rather large HQ looming in the distance, easily the largest building around. She spend the rest of her walk memorizing the information on Jackson in case she needed to delete the file.

Stopping right outside the building, Cer took a moment to appreciate how it was built before entering. The lobby was similarly tastefully decorated. In the middle of it there was Jackson, who she recognized from his file. She approached him and held out a hand, "Jackson Ducarthy its nice to meet you, my name is Cer and I will be one of your instructors. My area of focus will be your powers, I'd tell you that I'm going to try to go easy on you but learning how to control your greatest asset is not to be taken lightly. I took your multiple personalities into account and I would like to train at least two days a week though more would be ideal. One session I will meet with you and the other with Kuro." She paused to let him process, "I know there must be a lot going on right now for you, I heard you're a new member so take your time to think about when you'd like to schedule this, in the mean time I'd love a quick test to see where you are. Not here of course, I'm sure this massive building has a training ground." Cer had a calm smile, she was in her element now, she'd spent so much time training not only to control herself but to help others do the same, this would have been a huge milestone in the MHLA especially for someone so young to have a student. What would have been didn't matter anymore, this was her task and she would shape this kid into someone she could be proud of.

No, Light took you guys to an auxiliary office, but you can head for the HQ now if you want.


<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>

Yeah. You can ask her to take you there after you put a note about filling some paperwork for an agent. You can also have Light take you if you want, shes pretty much a free agent atm.


Awesome, thanks for the information guys.
So Cer is already at the HQ and all she needs to do is meet Jackson? She won't get his power automatically though.

I have another question, can Jackson replicate a power that Cer is using through replication?
Illusions are good, but you can't change how people think. That's direct interference with living beings, which the ability can't do.


Ahhhh... Okay just illusions then.
That works fine, but don't forget Avarice's ability as well.


That's the beauty of it, Avarice can be the exact opposite, distorting reality to make people see and think what she wants.
I was planning on her ability being perception based in a way like the ability to see true reality so illusions and lies would not work on her. The ability would probably become passive after she learned it but she wouldn't say that she has it.

Remember she only has 2 of her powers registered (energy manipulation an regen) so she wouldn't be able to admit that she could see through illusions.
