Alright how about this I personally suffered not one but TWO seizures over the course of a couple months of each other and in which I was in the hospital for a day each without the ability to do anything but sit there. When I got home the following days I pulled out my laptop after getting settled in and told everyone I'm going to take a couple days to recover from it and will be back in said given amount of time. And this was ME not someone else. Even without a friend to help me I informed all of the roleplayers that I suffered from the aforementioned. Yes some people have bigger issues broken bones (like the girl's sister who pm'd me on the other site I wished her sister a good recovery and understood why she couldn't continue), bigger seizures than my own, or what have you. But the topic on my post that seems to rile people up is that I'm expecting to much from people. I'm not really asking more than what I'd do for anyone else personally. If someone doesn't post in a week and is in the hospital then so be it. Maybe they'd need to drop everything to recover. I'm fine with that as long as I get a notification from someone or the player wasn't in an important spot. If they can't do so so be it. Tell me in later that you were in said hospital and I'll apologize readily for whatever and take you off said shit list mentioned above and if possible allow you to keep playing. It happens. I'd gladly ask one of my pals or family members that I injured myself in some way shape or form, that's if I was in some sort of state that would allow me to do so, to inform the people whom I do stuff with on this site or another that I'm inoperable. I view myself with a sense of professionalism, , and view it as an obligation to at least tell people why I am inoperable. Why? Because that's how I do things. I don't want people to wait on me if I can't do something and neither do I want to be that one guy everyone needs to do something then not show up. Do I take myself too seriously? It's very possible that I do take myself way to seriously. It's also possible that I have too high of expectations for others. Does this mean I won't adapt? No but I expect the common courtesy of being informed when stuff happens. However getting away from said hot topic if you just up and leave without saying ANYTHING whatsoever and you're active on this site then that really makes me mad. You signed up for something, spent the time to do something, and then left without saying a word? Or you signed up for something didn't follow through and the person who made said rp is now stuck waiting for a person who will never show up. Alright how about I put this part in perspective from my point of view as a gamer: You're playing in a tournament and it consists mainly of three players on a team. One of your team mates get's done his part for the first whatever rounds of the tournament....and then leaves. He has no important engagements to see to. He doesn't have to take care of himself or anyone else. And he seems like a nice guy. But he just decides for whatever reason 'Hey I don't like this anymore I'm just going to leave my team hanging. I'm not going to inform them and I'm just going to go home' leaving his two teammates to drop out of the tournament or find someone hurriedly who may or may not be able to function properly. That's not cool in my own book. Not sure how others view someone just up and leaving when others are relying on you do carry up your end of something but that doesn't fly on me side of the page. If you don't like something just flat out say something to the guy or group as a whole that you're not enjoying it and wish to withdraw. It's that simple. This is just my opinion if you don't like it feel free to flame me as you will this is the internet after all. Others take themselves less seriously than myself, other people take things more in align as how you guys see it. Am I trying to justify how I see things? In some ways yes in other ways no as I don't intend to have everyone agree with the way I see and do things just like how I don't agree with other stuff people do. Does this make me salty? No in one sense as I am not angry as I am writing this nor am I feeling defensive but yes in another that I just wrote three paragraphs explaining how I view things and stating my own stance like a politician trying to explain his unpopular views in front of another group of politicians whom heavily disagree on his views. I'm just bitching about something that really deeply irks me and if you got a problem with how I view things then good for you you got yourself and opinion. If you agree with me good for you then that is also your opinion. It really doesn't matter I'm not some special snow flake and I'm not some pompous jackass who expects people to do something he wouldn't do himself or at least try do himself. I myself won't be monitoring this thread for a bit to avoid getting in a prolonged conversation about how much my opinion is bad and or whatever be it.

Sorry dude but you're making yourself look like someone I wouldn't want to rp with if you're going to be that way with role-playing, it destroys all the fun in an rp and you'll be put on the list of gms to avoid for a lot of roleplayers

People who don't post for an entire week with next to no explanation why or forenotice. I once had a girl;s sister tell me she was in the hospital for some broken bones at one point. The point being if YOU can't then ask one of your friends to log onto your account and tell the GM and people you're leaving or you're not able to post. People who don't post leave notices always IMMEDIATELY go on my shit list.

You sound like you take role-playing way too seriously dude, it's all for fun it's not your freaking career

Can I join this rp? And are there any limits on the types of powers our characters can have?

DC Universe: Crisis of a new Era

Malcolm was flying towards Gotham city and he wondered why the coordinates he had received led him here. the only thing he could guess is that the city needed some extra help in dealing with its criminal population. His gravity field allowed him to fly to the city with incredible speed and he looked over the dark city with his eyes on the lookout for any criminal activity. his eyes eventually spotted the a car speeding down one of the roads with the police on the trail of it. He flew down and a fired a beam of gravity at the car and the car had its gravity rise to incredibly high numbers which caused the car to crush its wheels as it dug into the street.

The car came to a screeching halt and the criminals in the car got out of it and began firing their weapons at the police vehicles. Malcolm had to quickly do something before this shootout turned into a gruesome tragedy. He created fields of gravity around the criminals' guns and increased the weight of the firearms. the gravity became so intense that it was impossible for the criminals to hold and they dropped their weapons.

Malcolm smiled at the sight of the criminals looking dumbfounded at what had just happened, and then the criminals tried to flee the police, but Malcolm wouldn't allow that. He created a gravity field around the scumbags and increased their weight to the point where they wouldn't be able to run at all and fall to the ground, held in place by the gravity. he dropped the gravity field just as the police descended upon the criminals and handcuffed them.

Will there be links in the OP that will lead to the sheets of our accepted characters? because that makes it easier for reference.

Aragonia: A Fantasy Open Worlded Plot & Character-driven RP (OOC/Signups)

Abinnor cursed as the creature went on the assault and had black spikes rain down upon him and the others who had chosen to stay and fight. he brought up his blade and his left arm to shield his face from the spikes. he also tried to move about as much as he could to avoid being hit too many times. his chainmail was better against slashing attacks but these spikes were trying to pierce him and his armor wasn't built for such attacks. several spikes pierced him on the arms, chest and leg. Thankfully his dragon like scaly skin was hard enough to make the wounds not too deep and become very serious, but they still hurt a lot and he was bleeding.

After the black spikes stopped raining down upon them, Abinnor moved his sword away from his head just in time to the spirit come at him with its weapon. he quickly blocked the oncoming slash with a iron hard block with his greatsword and moved in to counterattack. He imbued his blade with divine energy to make it more effective against the spirit and made powerful slash at the fiend. he then opened his mouth and released a powerful jet flames as his breath weapon which would scorch the spirit if it wasn't immune to the damage.

Is Malcolm seventeen or fifteen? His appearance says he's fifteen.

I just edited it

DC Universe: Crisis of a new Era

[Here's my character]

Name: Malcolm Winston/ Graviton
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Parentage: His parents are John and Anna Winston and are not heroes
Appearance:Malcolm has reddish blond hair and pretty well built for his age year old. Graviton's suit is made up mainly of the colors blue and yellow. The top half of the suit is blue while the bottom half is yellow, and on his chest area is a big 'G' symbol with a circle around it and with a gold colored design. He wears a red cape that goes down to his hamstrings and his G symbol is also on the upper spinal area. His footwear are blue boots that are made for keeping his footing on rough surfaces. Malcolm also wears a red face mask to hide his identity, and has lightning bolt designs that run down the sides of the rest of his costume. Finally he wears black gloves for protection against toxic materials and waste.

Powers/Abilities:
Gravity Manipulation: Malcolm's main ability is the power to control gravity in many different ways. He can surround himself in a field of gravity where he can control its flow and amount to give himself the ability to fly. Malcolm can also fire beams and waves of gravity in the form of glowing green energy to knock back his opponents with incredible force. Offensively he can use his power to create a field of gravity around objects to increase their weight and slow them down, but the more weight he puts on an object the more concentration and power it requires. Finally he can also send out powerful waves of gravity from his hands to send things flying as well as use it to pull things towards him. He calls this skill 'Attraction and Repulsion'

Mass Ball: this power allows Malcolm to create a ball of black energy that has a huge amount of mass but is still the size of a basket ball. He can fire this ball of energy at his enemies and it hits with an incredible amount of force to cause a great amount of concussive damage depending on how powerful it is. He can increase the size and mass of the ball but it will take up a lot more energy and even using this power at its regular level can be taxing if used too many times.

Gravity Bomb: Malcolm throws a ball of green energy at his enemies and creates an explosion of gravity which can send opponents flying for several yards depending on the strength of the bomb.

G-shield: this ability allows him to surround himself in a barrier of gravity that repels oncoming attacks, but it only works for attacks that can be effected by gravity and energy attacks can get through. Even though it is effective against physical attacks it cannot withstand intense force and will shatter unless Malcolm puts more energy into the shield.

Weaknesses: his powers are not effective against energy based attacks and has no defense against magic. All of his powers require him to use energy and concentrate, so if he exerts himself too much then he will suffer from fatigue. Aside from his G-shield, Malcolm has no superhuman defenses or durability which means he still suffers from all of the weaknesses that a human has.

Back Story: Malcolm's childhood in Central City wasn't what most would call great, his parents were recovering alcoholics and his dad had a few run-ins with some bad people when their money was sparse. In school Malcolm was never popular and he was the victim of bullying on several occasions. It was when he was ten that his powers manifested, he had been bullied that day and his powers stopped them from doing further harm. Realizing that he was a metahuman, Malcolm became afraid of what his parents would think they found out about his abilities. His fears led him to keep his powers secret from everyone he knew, but he tried his hand at hero work to try and make a difference like The Flash did protecting Central City from evil.

Eventually he couldn't keep his heroic identity a secret anymore from his parents so he decided to tell them . They were at first surprised and then a little wary of his gifts out f concern for where they could lead their son to. His parents didn't approve of his crime fighting but he was able to convince them to let him keep up with his hero work. Eventually he had a run with Captain Cold while the Flash was away on a mission with the Justice League, and he managed to defeat the villain, it had been a close fight between to two but Malcolm managed to win. His victory over Captain Cold caught the attention of the Flash and he was offered the chance to become sponsored by the Scarlet Speedster.

He took the name Graviton for his hero identity and he began his career as one of Central City's costumed crime fighters, dishing out justice to those that would harm the innocent.
