Pat Hogan

Screen Name :
Side Character G

Character Name :
Patrick Hogan

Gender :
Male

Age :
Eleven

Appearance :
Thanks to puberty being a lazy bum and seemingly have no intention of kicking into action, Pat has androgynous features in both appearance and voice. It's not like he gets mistaken for a girl though thanks to keeping his sable locks short but one cannot help but notice how much more his neck and fingers are slender and such if another boy his age was next to him. His skin is slightly darker than most of the test subjects that stayed cooped up in the shadows, though the lack of proper sunlight makes it barely noticeable.
His eyes habour a set of bright teal iris, arguably the only part of him with a decent colour. Interestingly the side of his eyes end in a sharpened elevated point giving off the impression of a permanent angry glare. The eyes, his ears and perhaps his brows are the only facial features one could make out of him; the lower half of his face, more specifically from one ear to another and following down the jawline is hidden beneath a metallic muzzle. It covers his mouth and nose completely with indents and air filters in such a fashion that could give the creeps to anyone looking at him. His permanent glare really doesn't help making this any better. At least it doesn't make his voice come out robotic or anything, just slightly muffled.
Measurement-wise he's not all that peculiar, standing 4'9 (~144cm) tall, 105.8lbs (~48kg) heavy, optimal vision and health.

As if to emphasize his manliness and show off his body Pat is usually topless, a worn and dirty vest at most followed by equally damaged shorts and shoes. On a much cooler or breezy days his wardrobe swaps the vest to a jacket but that's about as fashionable as he gets.

Personality :
His physical features usually give off a negative vibe to test subjects and members of the AISE alike, what with the muzzle and glaring eyes, and Pat easily lives up to that impression. He is strong for his age and aggressive especially during brawls or similar, failing to stay down even if the opponent overpowers him by a mile. It should be noted that this is not because he is a rebel or he hates anyone but rather because to him this form of 'communication' and 'self expression' is as normal as tossing a greeting or asking to be someone's friend. Over the time spent with the AISE and other test subjects however has decreased his habit of fist-talking-before-mouth-talking.

In truth Pat seeks the company of others a lot and loves chatting just as much as fist fights. He will take any chance to get close to others and to know them better whether by throwing hundreds of trivial questions or listening to rants or fighting in their stead or so on, exhausting every option he can think of in order to befriend them.

Pat has no real opinion about his current situation. Being the kind who focuses on what's happening around him now rather than the big picture, he's too busy fulfilling his desires, in most cases this would be having company to spend time with. Perhaps this is why he comes out as one of the dumbest of the intelligence-enhanced test subjects, as well as being very gullible; as long as it doesn't make him lose too many people to talk to, he is cool with going with the flow.

History :
In truth Pat wasn't all outgoing when he was brought to the island and got his ability; his facial features were as misleading from the start though. At least that's what he was told, and he saw no reason to doubt that. Truth be told he sometimes wondered if his name was his real name too but there's no reason anyone would lie, right?

He spent the first year on AISE mostly alone due to his ability, kept in a quarantined cell with hazard suited people coming in and out like some kind of sluggish aliens to bring food and do experiments. The experiments weren't all that horrifying though; just taking blood samples and injecting various agents. So yeah; not that horrifying, but a lot of needle shots. After the first couple months of blood samples and injections, the experiments changed; Pat was ordered to do exercises and marathons all day, every day to the point of exhaustion. Often times he fell right asleep on the quarantined training room instead of going back to his cell only to be shaken awake for the daily blood test followed by more hard exercises. It took him the rest of the year to realize the training was to raise his body temperature, making it a more ideal environment for the infectious agents to grow. Well, 'realize' may not be the right word for he was told that was the case.

He shared his cell with others for the first time after that initial year, the same day he was fitted with the muzzle. It felt weird at first, the cold metal distinct against his skin, the puff of air that gathered as they were filtered of agents before passing over. He was also overwhelmed by the fact that he was not alone and wanted to interact, but he remembered none of the skills of social interaction. That coupled with his features really took Pat's life upside down; the experiments were now conducted by new faces and face-to-face without a hazard suit in between; this caused misunderstandings with the experimenters and brought upon unnecessary precautions. Pat was bound painfully tight and with less care, at times treated like a piece of fabric requiring holes to some of the more sadistic experimenters or as punishment for 'looking at me that way'. There were more injured test subjects than friends too, resulting from his failed attempts.

Fast forward for a time to the point where the experiments and friend-making went on a few more times. He met a few who were willing to voice their opinions about bullying and making friends and adapted those values as much as he can. He made a few successful attempts at times, but his position in the AISE was still far from where he was aiming for.

Rank :
Child

Ability :
Asymptomatic Carrier - When injected with an infectious agent such as virus or bacteria, Pat's body is capable of holding it in his body in such a way that won't infect him.
Pathogen Farm - Pat's body is capable of mass producing an infectious agent within his system.
Peculiar Chemical Composition - The chemicals in Pat's body is modified to make the best environment for agents to grow; examples include enhanced muscle growth for a better management of body temperature and prolonging major body changes or growths to keep an optimal and unchanging environment.

Ability Precautions
In order to prevent disasters from happening, there have been a few restrictions put up on Pat.
Transmission Methods - Pat is only capable of airborne transmission through the mouth and nose, and bodily fluid transmission; a modified muzzle has been issued to prevent airborne agents to leave Pat's body and is never to be taken off unless in a quarantined area.
Monitored sustaining requirements - Food consumption and going to the bathroom can only be done in a quarantined area accompanied by an authorized personnel due to transmission methods.
Word Trigger - In order to prevent his ability going out of control, Pat was given a way to stimulate his brain by voicing out what his system should do regarding his ability. For example if he said 'Infect myself with the cold flu', he will be infected by the cold flu. If he said 'Make more cold flu virus', then his body will do so. In that sense he is able to be infected or produce infectious agents only when stated.

Weakness :
Despite the intellignce enhancement, Pat is quite 'dumb'. Sure he can math in his head and recognize and name what bacteria he's dealing with from just its chemical composition or picture, but he fails to utilize or draw conclusions of the information at hand. He's also a slow learner and prone to make the same mistake multiple times.

Side effects occured with obtaining the ability
Fear of hot liquids - He will refuse to go anywhere near any hot liquid, including those in a cup.
Fear of fire - Just the sight of fire can cause Pat to panic and run away to the opposite direction.
Fear of direct sunlight - Minor case, and only with intense sunlight. Luckily(?) there's no place this category falls into in the island. Or is there...

Number :
63876

Other :
The muzzle requires authorized AISE code to take it off. Attempts of tampering will cause the muzzle to set off an alarm and ultimately a sedative which will render Pat unconscious.

Password :
Green is not a creative colour

Mind Games

Couple questions I found myself asking while writing up my CS.

-If the test subject don't remember anything, where did they get their names from, do the staffs/scientists/officials name them or something? Although that sounds very unlikely since they have their number/id.

-Do the staff/scientist/official/whatever who injected the ability to the test subjects have a vague if not precise idea as to what kind of ability they can expect from the test subjects?

-The way you wrote about each age group made it sound like every child rank are newcomers. Is that right or can we have a child who has been at the facility for a time before the rp beginning?

That might help actually. It's always nice to know even remotely as to the direction the roleplay is going to go.

Overthrow the Magical Girls

The Carrier

Name:
Wincester "Wince" Rind

Age:
Mid-twenties

Appearance:

For clarification
Hair: blue-black
Eyes: teal
Height: mid-short

Occupation:
Computer Tech

Reasons for joining World's End:
Revenge against the Magical Girl World Defense Force

Bio:
The Magical Girls revealed themselves to the public around the time Wince finished his studies, that four or so years ago. At that time he didn't give much thought about them, what with spending his time looking for a decent job that will earn him enough to live while still giving him time to continue worshipping a certain character from a certain manga he was deeply into.

Perhaps what really helped Wince wake up to see the Magical Girls was when there were more and more articles on the internet about how his fellow 'worshippers', while they may have been 'worshipping' different characters from different media, were 'captured' and 'exterminated' by these Magical Girls. It turned out they weren't actually killed but rather confiscated of their prized goods and monitored under the crime of being 'super creepy and giving negative impact on the society'. These hunts increased dramatically as the Girls conquered the world bit by bit, though Wince hadn't risen up to them just yet; it still seemed surreal and felt like one of those 'there is no way it is going to happen to me' situations. That is, until the Magical Girls crossed a line they should never have.

With the news of his manga author prematurely ending the manga series due to a 'request' by the Magical Girl World Defense Force for the unnecessary amounts of fan service and possible negativity to the society, Wince decided enough was enough. He wasn't dumb though, it wasn't as if he would challenge such a fearsomely large opponent by himself, so he went back to his parents' place hoping to get their support and perhaps find others they can trust to aid him. It was here that he learnt that his father was in fact one of the few survivours from a certain group which had fought the Magical Girls in the past. He had been living in fear which took Wince many tries for him to spill out everything, and also told him of a resistance that may or may not be forming. With that he also handed down a certain brooch-like accessory, the only piece of anti-Magical Girl technology his father was able to salvage.

He may be a terrible fighter, but he can certainly carry anything and anyone of any amount at once.
One enraged otaku comin up

Alter-Ego:
The Carrier - "I carry things."

Abilities and Important Items:
Bottomless Bag - thanks to The Keystone, Wince can utilize a bottomless bag. It can carry anything as long as it fits the mouth of the container the portal is placed on. The 'inside' of the Bottomless Bag is always in a state of stasis; that is, it is a place not governed by time. Only the one carrying the Keystone, can utilize the same magic as the Keystone or immune to this magic can move freely within the Bottomless Bag.

The Keystone - A round brooch-like accessory with a violet hue around hard-metal frame. A hand-me-down from Wince's father and a remnent of Nerosis technology; it is used to embed or dismantle a portal on any given container. There can only be one portal active at any time. Usually pinned to Wince's chest. Named by Wince.

The Luggage - A modified suitcase; the top half of this dark, segmented case is plated with hard metal as thick as an average thumb. There's a single latch that holds the suitcase closed, also made of the same metal and a soft grip handle. Also named by Wince. On that note Wince has a habit of naming every inanimate objects of his possession.

Trained Stamina - In order to carry around The Luggage as well as personal health care, Wince does daily exercises and marathons. This allowed him to have a fit body and endurance for running and walking even while carrying The Luggage.

Electronics Engineering Knowledge - From studying and job.

I've... no idea when to join the roleplay. Kinda wanted to join after at least another cycle of those who've already met were posted i guess since Timothy would be joining from a different angle and such.

I can't remember but does Academy City go through a weapon scan when entering the city like they do in airports?

I'm guessing we're waiting for more CS to come by? how many is the minimum number of characters the GMs are aiming for before IC?

Overthrow the Magical Girls Interest Check

This is precisely why magical girls should be on a timer and then become a

RE: setting. I kind of think that it'll depend on how the characters will be able to obtain power strong enough to deal with magical girls since they sound very... invulnerable. I mean if it was going to be something like 'steal the power from m.girl lair' or 'steal the m.girl familiars that could potentially grant 30-year-old-otaku-men magical girl powers', then the resistance action within a normal daily-life setting seems most fitting [to me at least]. They would band together and infiltrate the lair at night or whatever.

If it was, like, the amount of magic in the air from the m.girls' constant use which made some people are born with anti-magical girl power; in this case the 'protection' of m.girls would've reined long enough for the next generation to be born and grow up which in turn means that no one was able to successfully fend off the m.girls for a number of years and would most likely have fallen into a dystopian magical city. I imagine if this was the case then there would be no great evil to fend off which will make them either cage humanity in the dystopian city and every-so-often come down and do whatever they want with people, even going far as making it a battlefield and actually hurting the people themselves; or make them into slaves, stripping their freedom to do their bidding with the twisted sense of 'protection'.

School setting seems, um. Unfitting mainly because m.girls are governing in a city-scale protection regime... right?

Though, if whatever powers that be wanted to create that many m.girls in the first place, it seems very sinister or does not comprehend morality.

I-it's not like I want to roleplay a fat thick glasses-wearing unhealthy skinned and big-lipped guy in his early forties wearing frills and swinging a wand at... things.

Timothy=Muriel

Name:
Timothy=Muriel

Age:
Seventeen

Sex:
Male

Height/Weight: 160cm(approx. 5'3") / 51kg(approx. 112lbs)

Appearance:

Hair: messy purple
Eyes: green
attire: Black priest robe [thinkofstiylmagnus]
other: tattoo of a key on the knuckle of left index finger.

Classification:
Magic User

Magic Name:
Judicium108 - I bring those unworthy to their rightful place.

Spells and Magic:
Timothy's spells are based on Abaddon/Apollyon, known as the place/king of destruction (the destroyer) and as a Domination (an angel of the second sphere) in possession of the Key to the Abyss depending on the translations and the scripture.

Call a Familiar -
"Earth. A task by He, fulfilled."
Requires dirt or equivalent and a breath from the one to be the 'master' of the familiar to carry out this spell. The words are chanted out while his hand or a compatible magical tool is pressed against the dirt, followed by a single breath on the dirt once the chanting is done.

Upon success the dirt will take the form of a living organism of the breather's choice. The organism that can be created is limited to those that can be picked up by an average person. The organism will look, act and sound real but when it is heavily damaged or dispelled it will revert back to the dirt it once was.

The familiar does not have its own intelligence but rather is controlled by the owner of the breath that was used to complete the spell. The familiar's senses are directly transferred to the controller, and as such will cause the controller much confusion and overwhelmed senses if they control too many at once. Timothy can control at most two separately.

Magic Disable -
"I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, and bound him for a thousand years."

The first magic casted by the target or the first magic that hits Timothy after the completion of the spell is chained to a tattoo of a key on the knuckle of Timothy's left index finger. The chained magic cannot be used again until he is knocked unconscious or if this spell cancels/dispels.

{EDIT: since there seems to be a lacking amount of magicians, I'm partially inclined to make this affect Esper abilities too but it's not like they have distinctions between powers technically so I. don't know how it'd work.}

Plague of Locust -
"They will cover the face of the ground so that it cannot be seen. They will devour what little you have left after the hail. They will devour every tree that is growing in your fields. They will fill your houses and those of all your officials and all in the land. Their name is destroyer and their role is the fifth trumpet. Break free with the key of the abyss and graze the land bare!"

Requires a floor or ground to cast the spell on and a compatible magical tool. Timothy must hold the tool in his hand and point to the general area where the plague would be casted as the spell is chanted. The floor will crack and split and once the chanting is done will burst open with a plague of locust accompanied by a thick black smoke, covering the place with the split floor as the center, its radius being wide enough to fill half a football field. The spell will cancel if Timothy loses his grip on the tool or if he becomes airborne [i.e. pushed or knocked back] and loses all contact with the ground even for a split second.

The locust swarm does not deal any severe damage, however will land on and bother those afflicted. Their jaws are tough and can cut through soft materials like multiples of tiny blades. The smoke that accompanied the swarm does nothing except hinder vision.

Note that when the spell is cancelled or dispelled, the splits and cracks on the floor disappears with the plague.

Notable Talents or Skills:

Quarterstaff - Capable of this stick fighting technique which uses a pole-arm or staff.

Increased Semantic Memory - Timothy tends to have little trouble learning and remembering facts and knowledge. Whether he can use it though is a completely different matter.

Tracking skills - A side effect from having familiars that share its senses, Timothy can recognize and track game trails or clues as to where someone may have gone. It's not like he can see invisible tracks or anything and this skill has a huge disadvantage without a decent familiar summoned.

significant item at hand:
Magical tool in the form of two wooden poles, both about 80cm / 2'7.5" long with a single line going down the length. Upon focusing Timothy's mana the line glows a soft green and the two poles stick together to form a single, longer pole that is more durable than wood and can be used to cast his spells.
When not in use, they are held onto a latch on his attire where his back is.

Affiliation:
Necessarius

Occupation:
Magician

Personality:
Stemming from the harsh training he received from an early age, Timothy has a strong and narrow-minded will. That is, once he has decided on going through with something, he was taught never to give up on it despite the chance of succeeding or putting his morality in test. Despite the fact that this has burdened him greatly in the past, he has yet to give up this way of life thanks to his loyalty to the Anglican Church; the Church, despite all its horrors behind the scenes was equivalent to his parent and his home, and while he will never admit it out loud it is also the place where his first love, Laura Stuart, was affiliated with.

While Timothy have a knack of remembering facts and details he saw or heard, he isn't cut out to put one and one together which frustrates him from time to time. Ironically this made him be a popular messanger or informant for some of the members of the Church. Who wouldn't want their messenger to be able to pass on information with accuracy yet unable to use that information themselves?

And moving on to his social skills. He is generally polite though the things he say may give the impression that he is a little lacking, asking obvious questions here and there, repeating the questions and answers others say to him before addressing them, etc. That's not to say he can't hold a decent conversation, and excluding his lack of enthusiasm or humour in his voice he can interact normally.

Given the place he grew up, Timothy does have a very religious view of the world. He has a distinct black and white opinion especially when it comes to magicians; all magicians not affiliated to the Church of England are considered evil and his enemy, his sole purpose to fight them until they join the Church or die. Following the Archbishop of the Anglican Church's instructions, Espers and normal people on the other hand are good as long as they do not support the 'evil' magicians. If it wasn't clear, the Archbishop's words are treated with the highest regard to him, and will obey without a moment of hesitation.

Biography:
From the ealiest moment that Timothy can remember he was a member of the Anglican Church. In fact, there was little of his past which he can recall that wasn't related to the Church and its teachings one way or another, from prayers to learning about magic, about the witch hunts in the past and why it was so important for the land to be free from magic, to meager work or eating together, emphasizing their unity under the Church.

His admission to the Necessarius was sudden and without much hassle. One day it just happened as if he was part of it his whole life, though Timothy who was still young at the time had taken his time to adjust. He knew questioning was a waste of his breath regardless, having seen what kind of punishment he could find himself in no matter his age and went with the flow. That day was also the first meeting with the Archbishop of the Church who was also the head of Necessarius, Laura Stuart. In his eyes she seemed to shine with a magnificent air, holding onto every word she said with a hunger he never felt before. When he was told of the purpose of his being under her juridiction, of learning magic to fight magic, he gladly obeyed despite it going against the very teachings that he had engraved in himself. Her wish was his command.

Fast forwarding a few years to where Timothy was now a full-fledged member of the Necessarius; his role was mainly an informant and messenger which seemed fitting with his reconnaissance and obstruction spells, however that wasn't good enough for him. He took upon himself to take up other means which would be more useful in fighting with 'evil' magicians, resulting with the quarterstaff technique, a suggestion from a member of the Church who knew of a passage within the holy scriptures that talked of a certain man whose powers bestowed by God had similarities to his magic.

In the present day, he had caught wind of a certain strange phenomenon that is stirring up in the Academy City. Truth be told these rumours were born faster than the speed of light in the mysterious Academy City, however the events described this time sounded like magic was behind it. Where there were evil magic at hand, Timothy's duty made him investigate.
