I'm thinking of joining this with a beastman character. Gonna try and channel some of that classic campy Dragonball 'Tournament entree' vibe. Thinking up an inventive gimmicky technique for them (related to the beast they are) rather than just giving them five ki blasts/strikes. Something like Giran's merry-go-round gum, or General Blue's paralysis, but not those.

Chase Stein and a different version of the Runaways? Awesome! Now I'm genuinely debating whether to stick with Jessica or make an older Molly Hayes!
XIII is underrated and and X is a bit overrated, but I still prefer X to XIII because I'm a sucker for classic Final Fantasy gameplay.
XIII is better than X-2. If an open world to explore and lots to do is so important, you should love X-2. XIII is actually somewhat focused.
Post-game for all three games is bull, though.

I kinda want to play either Jessica Jones or Molly Hayes. Maybe both, in a mentor/pupil relationship.
Heidi Williams
Heidi listened to Ayel continued to speak there was one thing he said that she agreed with. Only one. The most important law to follow is the law of your heart. And Heidi's heart was telling her that Ayel was dangerous, and wrong, and that no matter what somebody has done, killing will always be a less moral choice than incarceration and salvation, if the latter is possible. But he wasn't the one with a captive. Right now, they were allies with a common enemy. Heidi's severe misgivings about Ayel's philosophies were not the main concern, no matter how wrong she was finding them. They needed to save their classmate. Or rather, her classmate. Heidi didn't think Ayel went to the institute. His extreme and elitist views of non-mutants was disgusting to Heidi, and she doubted that this attitude would have lasted very long under the tutelage of the X-Men. After this was over, she should at least persuade him to enrol, or persuade the teachers to contact him.
"There are billions of people out there, who don't have the X-gene. Billions who are good, moral people. Innocent and as deserving of life as anybody. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop insulting them. That won't help change things. Billions of people minding their own business aren't the problem. They never have been. Change for the better won't come about if you destroy the system. That will just create more chaos. You need to change the system itself to your advantage. You need to...use it."
They landed on a roof overlooking the site where Aya had told them the car had driven. Heidi immeditaly stepped close to the edge and began taking everything in and formulating plans and strategies, while Ayel continued talking, and she turned to watch his lips. "Very well," she answered once he'd finished, after turning away and looking back over the scene. "We go in there together. And you're right. I can't stop you killing. All I can do repeat myself and ask you not too. I can't stop you and rescue Uná at the same time. They kidnapped her from the club, and they're armed. This is on them."
She looked back to Ayel. "I will try to keep an eye out for backup arriving, and if I notice something, I'll try and notify you. You can then use he power you used in the club to let them know where we are and what's going on. Speaking of, that's something we need to talk about later. I know you're the one who sent that message into all of our heads, calling for some kind of uprising. Careful. You sounded a little like Magneto." she finished with a hint of challenge in her voice, and eyes, before returning her attention to down below.
Heidi Williams
Getting eye contact with Heidi wasn't very hard, as she was already watching his face to make sure she didn't miss anything he said. She didn't reply to his reassurances, however. It wasn't just the embarrassment that was making her behave the way she was. Heidi was not a good flyer. Her mind would overthink and wonder and never fail to remind her of the dangers of falling. That said, it was also embarrassing to be held like this. She wasn't comfortable with it but it had to be done for the sake of rescuing Uná.
"I don't have any doubt or hesitation," Heidi answered. "Or rather, I have too much. That's just how my mind works. I can think about something, taking days of contemplation, in a split-second. I've already been thinking bout this matter a lot. If I had no other choice, and that is seldom the case when you can processes so many possibilities from one single action, then I would go through all seven stages of grief by the time I finish pulling the trigger. Having said that, taking the law into my own hands and killing somebody is wrong, and is absolutely the last resort when all attempts to incapacitate or restrain have failed. You talk as if you've already made up your mind to kill without mercy, and your justification seems to forget that the law exists. If we don't kill a single person today, they won't all be free to carry on hurting people, not if we can help it. The future I want is one where as few people need to mourn as possible."
Heidi's mood had grown stiffer and colder after hearing Ayel's speech, and replying with her own. Besides all but confirmation that he was the voice in everybody's heads earlier, he also had a very dangerous philosophy. The Brotherhood sympathiser whose act of terrorism had taken Heidi's family away from her probably had similar ideas, and that's what bothered her so much about this. She didn't want Ayel following the same path, with his 'us and them' mindset and how quickly he jumped to killing as his plan A. She had to try to change him before it was too late. If he didn't kill tonight, that would be a good start.
Even his plan made a lot of assumptions. Heidi didn't think Ayel was a mind reader, or he'd likely be showing some kind of coldness or disgust at her pro-mutant registration ideals. There was some sense to what he was saying, but the way he assumed the worst, and demonized them. It was if he was psyching himself up in order to justify violence. That was hopeful. There was the tiniest glimmer of hesitation and empathy in there that he was actively trying to suppress.
"Your plan is decent, yet inefficient. With your ability, you'd be better served giving anyone who arrives the intel. I will immediately set to rescuing Uná. Don't worry. I can handle myself on the field. Anyone who says 'you can't outthink a bullet' has never met me. And like you said, make sure this doesn't have a tragic end. Unless you have no other choice, please go non-lethal."
Heidi Williams
Ayel's metaphor concerned Heidi, as her mind over-analysed it. There were going to the enemy, hat was true. They'd probably be victorious unless there are a lot of men there, or they have their own mutants. But even so, choosing a hunter metaphor over any other possible scenario was concerning. Did he see himself as a predator and the kidnappers as his prey? Was he planning on killing? If he was, Heidi would have to stop him. There was a lot to worry about. They were heading towards a group of armed opponents who knew they were coming, probably have knowledge of mutants, might have a mutant in their ranks, and to add to all that, Heidi would have to keep an eye on Ayel's actions too.
Ayel started to provide his answer to the transportation problem, but then placed his had around Heidi's waist, and told her to hold on. This didn't take a genius to figure out, and Heidi braced herself for flight. When they started to lift off the ground, she grabbed handfuls of his shirt and clung on tight. Clearly both nervous from flying, and embarrassed from being held in such a manner, she couldn't look less comfortable. Se gave an apologetic glance to Jason. They didn't even get to have any time together to have their...date...thing? Nothing had gone to plan tonight.
"Alright. From here, you'll want to head southeast, in the same direction as that factory in the distance. Also, I'll just get this out the way now. Don't kill anyone. We should be able to resolve this without taking lives. Therefore we must."
Natalie Ellis
Location: Industrial District
Time of Day: Night
Mentions: Archie Anderson @JunkMail
Archie shot past her, running on all fours. He must still be able to see or otherwise track Bianca! Natalie followed to the best of her ability, but her running speed couldn't mach Archie's. After so long of being scared of her own power, tonight she felt so utterly powerless and redundant that all her fears now seemed foolish. She wasn't too strong. She was weak and needed, if anything, to get stronger. She couldn't fight. She couldn't run fast. She wasn't even very fit. Bianca and Archie were both so much more dangerous than her. She'd lost something in this revelation. Her complete lack of fear on meeting Archie last night might not have been the case if she had fought Bianca first. She never knew she had such confidence in her strength until she lost it.
She finally caught up to the two of them, and she couldn't believe what she saw! Bianca, the woman who had stopped Natalie in her tracks and defeated her effortlessly with three punches, was lying in a crumpled heap, bleeding from various puncture wounds in her metal armor. Archie had beaten her, and was now moving in for the kill. Natalie couldn't let somebody get killed in front of her. Besides, if she was having an episode, and Archie had the power to stop her killing somebody, but didn't, she'd never speak to him again. She had to stop Archie from killing Bianca. It's what he'd hopefully do for her.
She used the muscles in her legs to jump high in the sky, and landed between Archie and his prey just as the reptile was about to strike. Natalie reached out and stopped his powerful limbs with her own by grabbing his arms. He may be more ferocious, but he couldn't escape Natalie's grip. In rems of pure strength, she had the upper hand.
"Archie, stop! I know you don't want to kill! Trust me, I know better than anyone it'll hurt to live with. I'd want you to stop me too, if I was in your shoes. Please, don't kill her!" Natalie pleaded, perhaps foolishly paying Bianca no mind, allowing the metal woman to try to escape, or attack, if she so wished.
Time itself seemed to stop while Hitomi awaited Acion's reply. She'd boldly made the step and was glad she did, but what happened next was probably going to knock the wind out of her lungs either way. Whether it would make or break her was the question. Acion acknowledged her confession and thought about it for a few agonizing seconds, during which the sheep girl inadvertently held her breath. When he told her than he felt the same, she let out a breath she didn't knew she was holding and, tough it was too soon to celebrate, waves of relief washed over her. He wasn't going to to tell her he didn't feel that way about her, like she feared.
But then he looked into her eyes with a serious expression. And uttered the word 'but', and for a split second Hitomi started to feel dizzy. Oh no. Please let this be a condition or a concern. An outright rejection would make her faint right now. She listened intently, with her own anxious worry showing in her eyes, as he carried on talking, which lessened as he elaborated. By the time he was finished, they actually looked little irritated.
"Of course I do! We're at a Hero School! Of course your priority is becoming a Hero! Don't worry me like that! I thought you were going to reject me! Baka!"
By the time she was finished, she was blushing furiously, and pouting adorably. Her irritation gave way to genuine relief, and her expression softened into a smile, as she sighed. She still felt a bit ffy that he essentially told her she'd be put second, but Hitomi had her own dreams, and if she ever had to choose, she wouldn't compromise them for Action's sake either, so she understood.
Mako Akane
Upon seeing Jean dressed smart yet casual, next to a romantic table for two, set up in the Komei Academy courtyard, Mako stopped in her tracks, stared at the scene for a few seconds, and chuckled, before carrying on walking up to him. She was also blushing, despite her confident air. However long it had been since Jean dated, it couldn't have been as long as Mako. Her last date was before she went to prison!
"I figured something must have come up, but I won't pry. Still, this is quite an effort you've made, if unorthodox. If the students see us having a candlelit dinner in the middle of the courtyard, they'll start talking. In short, yes. Of course I'll have lunch with you. I trust you've brought food with you."
Mako sat down, before continuing. "I've been waiting for this 'date' ever since we met at the hospital. It's a chance to redeem myself for making the wrong choice all those years ago."
Kasuke Mina
Mina was listening intently to the other group now. She she didn't have Ruby's ears, but sufficed by slowly and stealthily scooting her chair closer to the other group, and sharing glances with Ruby every time something interesting was said. Dulga was currently talking about an all girls training exercise in the mountains. Mina heard her name and Ruby's both mentioned, and to be honest, Mina would like to go. She does need to get stronger, and learning the weaknesses of the other girls in her class could be good for the Tournament. Dulga's last comment was concerning, though. Having to play nice with Beaumont in a confined space for several days might be challenging.
At that point, Mia Haven entered the room and teleported up to the table. After hugging Yukari and greeting the other two, she disappeared again. Mina knew what was going to happen before it did, and braced herself. Sure enough, Mia popped right beside her and pulled the petite girl into a one armed hug, with Ruby in the other arm. However, what Mia whispered to her gor a bright red blush out of Mina and stunned her briefly, but she cleared her throat and brought her blush back under control.
"We have not, but out of interest, what has he been saying?"
I just dumped & dipped so... what’s you guys’ fav & least fav things to fill out in a signup? Obviously depends but just of what you’ve seen so far.
I like everything, mostly. I don't like the filling out the bio so much because it's big but it's important. You shouldn't be allowed to play a character if you can't fill out a bio for them. It shows you don't know them well enough.
My least favourite parts are either the personality (Especially if there's a two paragraph minimum. I hate trying to put my character's personality into words. Especially that many) or finding a real-life face claim.
