@Vetis Sure, but the power-dynamic between the two characters' personalities will be weird.

@RadioactiveRat

Whoop, I was thinking of another limitation for John, he can only take traits he knows about or can reconfigure, so to expand on his powers he needs to research them, so to start with, John would have like 3 or 4 traits from the off, but to gain new traits (ill ask first to see if they are viable for the parameters of his power) he needs access to information
as for the starting traits:
Speed
Strength
Jumping power
and I was thinking durability in some way or another

John White

Name: John White
Age: 25
Power: powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Animal_Imi.. :

Limitations

• May be limited to mimicking only the animals they have observed.
• Cannot transform into animals.
• May take on specific traits of an animal, such as wanting to find rotting things if impersonating a fly, or feeling territorial if impersonating lions.
• May be limited to mimicking one animal at a time or are limited on how long they can mimic animals.
• Some abilities may be compromised by size differences.
• May experience different weaknesses of animals, such as a dogs having to constantly hear ultrasound waves, or having an urge to play with a ball of yarn like a cat.

Nationality: Australian
Bio:John was one of the feared 'meta' humans and was quickly incarcerated away from the woman who had birthed him (an unsuspecting surrogate who had been injected with a fertilized egg from two meta's). during his imprisonment John's powers started to show that he had the power to take on different traits of animals. during his youth he would often cry for his birth parents whom he had been told had died shortly after his birth - which was in fact a cover story as both his parents had been caught and sold on due to them both being Meta humans.
During his imprisonment he heard whispers that his parents were still alive, now that he has escaped - his main drive is to discover their fate.

Personality: Has quite the inferiority complex and is often heard saying things along the lines of 'I am sorry, as you can see - I am ungraceful' normally after pulling a stunt / attack / action that requires a lot of grace. Due to his imprisonment he often talks badly about himself.
Appearance:

outfit:

Other: has slight powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Animal_Lim.. but is only able to manifest gills

So if I understand this properly? You take on proportionate abilities of certain animals, like having a cheetah's speed, lion's strength, dog's sense of smell that sort of thing but you're character isn't physically altered in anyway? Is that right?

If I've got this right I think it would be a good idea to cut out the ability to form wings. Firstly because from a logistics point of view sprouting wings wouldn't be enough to fly, you'd have to completely reform your anatomy, hollow bones, vastly increased musculature, eyes capable of withstanding high speed winds, and possibly something to allow you to breath in higher atmospheres were the oxygen is thin.

The second reason is that being able to fly by way of having your own wings is technically a separate abilities. See: Angel

@Prince of Seraphs

Yes, thats exactly how the power works :D
Okay, that seems reasonable, i suppose John will never fly :( but yeah, I get where your coming from.

Tho I think Prince just wanted a bit of a clear up on what his power actually was if it was not actual transformation

Running from the World

Alright everyone, I'm going to give anyone who has voiced interest in the roleplay till Monday to post a CS. After that we will be starting. If you enter something after that due date you may still be able to be factored into the main cast but it will not be in the same manor as most of the other characters.

Ventis I believe you had a power that needed acknowledgement.
<Snipped quote by Vetis>

If you wouldn't mind Ventis I could use a little more information one exactly what it is you're proposing. I get the general idea that it has to do with mimicking a variety of traits displayed by animals but what exactly does that entail? And if you're character is unable to actually transform into real animals how does the power function? If it that they can alter certain things, like having a lion's strong muscles with like antlers and other animal traits so you get a sort of combinate creature. What exactly does mimicking animals mean for his abilities? How much of it is physical and how much psychological?

@Prince of Seraphs

Its exactly as you say, Its not a transformation, but Not able to have more then one trait at a time, so I could have a cheetah's speed but not the ability to jump like a flea (If humans had the jumping power of a flea, a 1.8-m (6-ft) person could make a jump 90 m (295 ft) long and 49 m (160 ft) high. ) but I would be able to drop the cheetah speed to gain something else, the only real partial transformations my character can make is for usable wings and gills if that makes sense? im not sure about taking on a trait that would let me walk up walls or anything, think that might be a bit too much lol

Running from the World

I'm here. Waiting on feedback for my guy now he has animal mimicry as a power :)
