Esper [ LGBTIQA+, Psychic, SoL] Recruitment Thread (Always Accepting!)

[TheBlackThrone]

All are allowed and welcome in this RP.

It was just an average day in Santa Glevens, a city in fictional California (CA). Every day, you get up and go to college. Some of you may already be awake working that morning shift to help you pay for your meal plan or your tuition for that semester. Maybe you’re an athlete, and your team works out in the morning before class. This is your life. Your average, routine, monotonous life. After college, you hoped to land your first job, or maybe you’re planning to drop out because it just isn’t for you. Maybe you have better things to do. All these normal, everyday thoughts and future plans become interrupted—maybe just discarded by the shockwave that ripped through the city.

On Monday, March 13, 2045, your life is no longer the same. Whatever you had planned before may be entirely different now. You cut on the news; you look at your phone; and you see that everyone is talking about the meteor. It landed in what used to be Lakestead Park, but now it’s a 300-meter-wide crater. NASA claimed to have launched missiles to shatter the meteor, so it would be small enough to incinerate in Earth’s atmosphere. Unfortunately, a piece large enough to destroy the park still managed to make it through. No one knows what happened to the homeless and gangs that resided there. The media presumes them all to be dead.

There are some health concerns. Witnesses posted videos of a glowing, green ring being released after impact. The fear that the aftershock might have been a lethal amount of radiation has the public terrified. The mayor of Santa Glevens has implemented a lockdown until the Center for Disease Control has screened all citizens for radiation. The rest of CA and the United States were unaffected by the Santa Glevens Meteor (SGM).

You, however, discover that you are no longer the person you were yesterday. You have a strange ability. It may even be a superpower. There are others affected similarly, and they may not be as law-abiding. What happens to the city—to the world—when power isn’t equally distributed among the people? Who is going to abuse the power, and who is going to use it for good? If you want to live what remains of your no longer normal life, then you may want to keep your power quiet. Unfortunately, the abusers will not, and then you will have to decide if you will be an abuser with them or become a hero.[/size]

Setting

The main setting of this RP is Santa Glevens, CA. Characters are free to travel anywhere else in the U.S. and the world, but the main setting will be Santa Glevens. The secondary setting is Santa Glevens University (SGU). This is the main common ground for all player characters. Your character does not have to be a student. They could be a dropout or never choose to go to college. However, a student not enrolled in the college must know a player character enrolled at the college, either being the boyfriend, girlfriend, theyfriend, best friend, sibling, fwb, cousin, etc. There must be a connection. As for the writers creating students, they will be freshmen or sophomores taking general education (math, science, English, etc.) along with the core courses for their major. In these general education classes will be how all characters will have seen or know each other. All student characters will be enrolled in the same gen ed courses to maximize the chance for interaction and connection.

Theme

The theme of this RP involves superpowers and modern technology with fictional advances. The character you will create is an Esper—someone with an uncanny psychic ability that allows them to manipulate (x). Prior to the game's start date, 13 March 2045, your character was a normal human being. The focus of the RP isn't for someone to go and create a superhero organization to combat the Abusers. It's not really about the action, combat, capes, costumes, etc. The main theme and story of the RP are writing about how having psychic powers affects their day-to-day life. If characters naturally wind up making a secret organization involving those with powers, then great. Whatever naturally flows and is created from that main theme. This is meant to offer some somewhat realistic challenges to being a minority with powers against a majority who doesn't have powers. What could happen? What challenges will the characters face in their day-to-day lives?

GM Role

I will be the GM for this RP. I will control the media, certain government types, and I may even reveal some GM-created Abusers. I will be making sure that no one joins with a character that is absolute or omnipotently powerful. I will be ensuring that drama is nonexistent in this RP. If I say you cannot have a character with that power in this game, then please cooperate and change the power. If you try to argue with me to get your way, then you will be outright denied participation in this RP. When you submit a character sheet to this RP, you acknowledge that whatever the GM says goes. If you disagree with this, then please do not join this RP. My primary job is to ensure this game runs smoothly with little drama to ruin your fun.

Espers

An esper is a person who displays an extraordinary psychic ability. When you create an esper, you need to understand that they do not create a power or ability out of thin air. For example, an esper that has pyrokinesis does not create the fire from nothing. The esper could manipulate an existing blaze, perhaps a flame generated from a lighter, or they can enhance their own body's thermogenesis to the point they can combust without self-harm. However you explain the ability, as long as the power isn't being created from nothing, then you are fine.

If two characters wish to have the same power, then how each of your characters use that power must be different. As previously mentioned, pyrokinetic can only manipulate existing flames (character one). Character Two, pyrokinetic can increase their body's thermogenesis to allow them to combust. Both characters are pyrokinetics, but they use their powers differently. Also, take note of how each character has one power. You are allowed only one power. Not five powers in one. This is often hard for some people to create, and I will be making sure your approved character has one power. This is the only power your one character will have throughout the story. As your character develops and learns to control it, it can increase in strength. For every month a character is active in the story, their power will increase in strength. So a writer who has been active in this game for 3 months, will be stronger (power-wise) than a writer who has been active for only 1 month or less. Maybe your character has no control over their power because it is already extremely powerful, and then the struggle is trying to control such immense power. However, you spin their story is up to you. For those starting with immense power, every month the character is active in the game, they will gain more control over their power. In the meantime, they are dangerous to themselves and others.

The antagonists in the game are called "Abusers." They are espers who use their powers to harm others or commit acts for personal gain that still ruins society. You are free to RP an Abuser, but know that your character may face conflict from not only the good espers, but from government authorities. Understand that your character could be detained or killed. They can also go through a reformation story arch. It will be whatever you decide, and as long as you communicate with your peers, then we can make it happen.

I am allowing a good amount of creative flexibility as long as you communicate your intentions. We don't want someone accidentally ruining your character's story or interfering with it.

[b]Backstory:[/b] This is an optional section for I know it may be hard to write this early on. Some people like to feel out their characters and build the story as they write them. That is fine. Delete all these words and leave this section blank until you have a story. You can also mention your character's parents or family in this section if relevant.

[b][u]Esper Powers[/u][/b]

[b]Power:[/b] Try to write a one or two word name for the ability. We should be able to look at it and know exactly what it is.
[b]Ability Description:[/b] This is where you write what your character is manipulating. You can describe if any energy is emitted as they are doing it, glowy eyes, ethereal winds, star sparkles, etc. As long as it makes sense to the ability. You can go as pseudo-science as you want or keep it simple and steal something from superpower wiki. Superpower wiki may give you multiple ideas and it has nearly every power you can think of. But remember, this isn't something your character creates out of thin air. They are manipulating something.
[b]Power Level:[/b] ▉ (use these squares to tally how strong your character's power is. People starting out with the weak PL automatically have 1 square. Those starting out with the powerful and uncontrollable PL will have between 3 to 5 squares starting out. 5 squares is the max.)
[b]Strength:[/b] What is your power's strength? What can your character use it for best at this time? You can record the strength each PL. Say, at square one, they can only do (x). Then later, once you earn the second square, now they can do (x) at square two.
[b]Weakness:[/b] If your character starts at square one, then their power is already somewhat weak and so I don't expect too much power-dampening here. However, if you start your character at 3-5 squares, then your character has a major weakness that can be deadly for themselves and others. You must create one. It has to be a weakness that makes a character nervous to use it because they know the consequences, or in the case, they are an abuser, they understand how reckless and how much damage it can cause to themselves and others.

Rules

1. OOC. There will not be a discord for this RP. Writers are to communicate using the provided OOC or PMs. If you wish to give your discord handle to a writer and choose to communicate in discord, then that is entirely up to you. If there is drama in the discord, then I expect you to know how to report it to the moderation staff.
2. Pace. I expect all writers to be capable of posting once every seven days. If you are absent for 14 days, then I will PM you. If you are absent or elsewhere on the site for 30 days, then I will assume you silently abandoned the game, and I will drop your character. If your character was involved in a deep story, then I may leave it up to your partner(s) to decide what happened to him, her, or them.
3. LGBTQ+. Please respect the writers' pronouns. Do not assume their gender even if you "think" you know what gender they are. Writers who try to perceive the gender of another writer in order to treat them one way versus another will not be tolerated in this RP if there is an offense. Do not do this. When in doubt, just ask.
4. Communication. If you plan to go on vacation for a long period, just please let me know, so I do not drop your character. If exams, or other real-life situations pop up that take you away, and you are still interested in the story, then please just let me and your writing partners know. We will accommodate.
5. One Power. I mentioned this before. I am mentioning it again. One power. Not three in one. Just one.
6. No Omnipontent Characters. If you are unsure if your power is omnipotent, then do not worry. I will let you know, and once I do, please make the correction.
7. Whatever the GM says goes. My sole purpose is to ensure this game runs smoothly with as little drama as possible. If this is your goal too, then great. Help me facilitate this fun and peaceful environment.
8. Multiple Characters. Yes, it is allowed. Please do not overwhelm yourself though.
9. Use your imagination. I have given you a sandbox. What you create in that sandbox is up to you. Remember that you are not alone in this creation process. Your character is not the main character. Every writer's character is a main character. So please collaborate, and try to include others. However, I do not expect you to cater to everyone, for there are, unfortunately, writers who just won't connect with others. It will be up to those writers to learn how to integrate with others, but keeping an inclusive atmosphere is the first step. Please help me make this an awesome game for others to safely join and create in.

[TheBlackThrone]

Yay! Welcome.  :-)

[Wordworker]

I might have a character idea, though I don't know how well it fits.

[TheBlackThrone]

I might have a character idea, though I don't know how well it fits.

You can PM me the concept if you want, and I will give you feedback.

[TheBlackThrone]

As usual, I always drop a sample CS to help people get an idea of what I'm looking for. This will be an actual character in the game.

Full Name: Kai Winnemore
Nickname(s): None yet
Alias: Shield
Age: 27
Esper Type: Esper
Gender: Male
Sexual Identity: Cis-male
Sexuality: Demisexual
Relationship Status: Single
Major: Music Composition
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Grey
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 175 lbs
Face Claim: Nick Bateman
General Description: He got a tattoo when he turned 18 y/o. He knows it's cliché, but that's the story. It's on his back, right shoulder: Reference. Besides that, he sometimes dyes his hair interesting colors. Sometimes blonde, sometimes silver, but never black or hot colors. He doesn't feel that bold. He is lean, works out about 2 to 3 times a week because he spends more time playing music. People can find him wearing casual clothes like hoodies, sweatpants, and Crocs when he's going to classes or the studio. When he actually goes out, he'll at least put some real shoes on.

Personality: Kai is down-to-earth and finds weird people to be interesting to watch and let be. He doesn't try to change who people are, but instead tries to learn to understand them so he can interact with them better. He often daydreams about various compositions. Some of his compositions come from his dreams, or he'll be inspired by a random something throughout his day. When he's bored and doesn't feel like going to the gym, he'll play guitar. He also will play when he's stressed or worried about something. It helps him decompress and take his mind off of everything. Kai is decently affable, but he isn't gullible and doesn't take crap from anyone.
Likes: Music, playing music, singing, composing music, staying in shape, black coffee, dressing comfortably, being/living cheap, and various forms of instrumental music. More instrumental than electronic.
Dislikes: Bullies, druggies, obnoxious people, entitled folk, narrow-minded people, and certain flying, jumping, and scurrying bugs.
Psychological Quirks: Acrophobia, claustrophobia, and bugs. Not so much to be a phobia. If he is stung or bitten, then it shall die.
Talents & Hobbies:

• Singing
• Musician (most C instruments)
• Songwriting
• Ambidextrous
• Self-proclaimed Undefeated Uno Champ

Backstory: Current idea: His father strove to become a famous musician but never made it because he gave up on his dream. Kai hopes to succeed where his father failed. He dreams of becoming a famous composer for movies, video games, etc. like the legends of old: John Williams, Hans Zimmerman, Danny Elfman, etc.

Esper Powers

Power: Aerokinesis - Barrier
Ability Description: At square one, Kai can condense the molecules of the air into a solid structure to encase objects or people. These barriers cannot be seen by the naked eye, and so if you imagine a mime placing their hands against an imaginary wall that is what it's like except the wall is real. Kai believes he makes rectangle shapes, he doesn't know if the top of the rectangle is open or the bottom. The barrier at square one is brittle like glass. He so far has to hold his hand out to use it. He can probably use it without doing so, but it allows him to aim his "shield" because he can't see it.
Power Level: ▉
Strength: At square one, it makes for a funny glass door prank to play on people. Also, it makes for a handy defense against flowing water, strong winds, or debris (to include sand, dust, etc.). Because his barrier is made from air, people won't suffocate. He also still doesn't know if the top or bottom of it is open. Maybe he'll find out one day.
Weakness: At square one, his ability is like glass. A strong impact force can shatter it. Even a regular human could punch it, and break it at the risk of bruising their knuckles.  If Kai is in an enclosed space where there is smoke or a lack of oxygen, then his barrier will be comprised of those toxic gases and won't do anyone any good. Also at square one, he has to keep his hand up to use it. It's like a psychological dependence. As long as he has the strength to hold the barrier up (no muscle failure), then he can hold it up. If his arm gets tired or the barrier is broken, then it'll take him two turns (if in a posting order) or two minutes (not in a posting order) to recover the stamina to produce the barrier again. At this time, he can only make one barrier.

[Darkleather]

Definitely interested - I've emailed a character sheet through to you rather than posting it on here to make sure it meets with your concept.  I also (as usual) failed to manage to insert a faceclaim (for some reason that seems to be beyond me).

[BlueOrange]

I wonder if I could play Kai’s abusive fa…

Just kidding ;)

I’m missing out on having a superheroine at the moment, and I do like to have one of those in play when I can. Hmmm.

[dezwithabat]

I am interested in this - creating a character sheet now. :)

[TheBlackThrone]

Hey welcome everyone so far. I look forward to seeing what you create.  :-)

[dezwithabat]

Question: Can my character be a university professor or do they have to be a young student?

[TheBlackThrone]

Question: Can my character be a university professor or do they have to be a young student?

I would rather a Teacher Assistant if they are pursuing grad school, but they would have to TA for one of the Gen Ed courses because that keeps them within the common ground (secondary setting).

You also don't have to be 18 to go to college. You can go at any point in your life. My character is 27.

[Miss Nyx]

👀 …You always have the best ideas Throne.

Hi, voicing interest for this RP, premise is interesting  :-)

Full Name: Seung (spelled Sung) Du
Nickname(s): None yet
Alias: Warp
Age: 20
Esper Type: Esper
Gender: Male
Sexual Identity: Cis-male
Sexuality: Pansexuality
Relationship Status: Single
Major: Business/Principles of Management
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 175 lbs
Face Claim: Lee Hyun Jae
General Description: Du is a lean build half-Korean half-American student who dresses well and has shoulder-long hair and stands nearly six feet tall. He is well-dressed always, even in a home environment but he has secretly stashed a more punk attire and when he does full punk make up he is nearly unrecognizable. He exercises regularly with a daily job, and a strict diet, and also swims three times a week. As an interesting quirk, he prefers to wear women's cologne over men's brands because he prefers those smells. He also regularly practiced martial arts which gives him great balance and movement but because of his studies, he hasn't practiced for over two years.

Personality: Du comes from a very strict household, his raising fit for Tiger Parenting, led by his Korean mother. His father as a successful American businessman was often away from home and not involved almost at all in Du's life so they are distant but decent relationships, whereas Du cares but also dreadfully fears his mother (or disappointing her). However, despite his diligence to excel and doing lots of curriculum he has one activity that he has kept a secret from his parents; which is his love for punk music and punk culture. He knows what culture stands for and he knows neither of his parents would approve it. So he hides and has as result become a skilled liar and deceptions in doing his own makeup well and is able to erase any trace of attending underground punk scenes or concerts discreetly (having even fake ID to get tickets and a separate email address).
Likes: Korean home cooking (his mother actually cooks herself then lets staff do it and has taught Du how to do some dishes), Punk Music/Culture, Martial Arts (continue it), Swimming, Science, Puzzles, Romance Manga, Nature/Animals
Dislikes: Narrow-mindedness, Bad grades (anything less than full score), Yelling in conversation (PTSD from mother's yelling), Bullies, Intolerance
Psychological Quirks: Narrow spaces (PTSD from mother locking him into the closet for hours), Darkness (again PTSD from being locked in a closet), Small closets (PTSD  :P)
Talents & Hobbies:

• Cooking (Korean home dishes)
• Maths, Science and Physics (related hobbies)
• Legalistics (part of entering business studies)
• Martial Arts (Han Mu Do, Green Belt)
• Polyglot; Korean, English, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, and Russian (tiger-mother ruthless training as a child)

Backstory: Seung Du comes from a wealthy family, his father struck rich after graduating from SGU and the only reason why his mother's persistent requests for 'better and higher' universities were denied by his father was his firm resolve and 'proof' of his own success persuading mother let Du study same university as his father did and independently living the city (and father had donated to SGU every year money as well). Seung Du had lived his entire life strict schedule and only at SGU and at Santa Glevens has lived he independently (both parents live off the state). Perhaps the father's insistence on university and letting their son live independently was his way to let his son Du explore himself and know himself outside his mother's influence.

Esper Powers

Power: Teleporting - Quantum Process
Ability Description: At square one, Du can teleport himself a short distance (around 20 feet max) to any location he can see or able clearly visualize when he is calm and able to focus. But for a moment he can only teleport only himself and his body; meaning any clothing and items on him will be left behind which are not part of his body. Following Quantum Process, he does not in any shape or form cross the distance physically as he teleports (as doing so would break the laws of physics), he merely destroys his own body and reforms it in a new location instantly. This means if he has any alien objects inside him that he is not aware of or does not desire to come with him, he can leave it behind. The body destruction process leaves no trace of him at all (but to Du it feels like a brief electric sort of sting all over his body both before and after teleport).
Power Level: ▉
Strength: At square one, it allows rapid teleports with no limit besides visual and clearly visualized locations but the drawback being it needs done naked (as clothing does not transport with Du). But it allows escaping from any physical restraints, including someone holding him.
Weakness: At square one, teleportation is limited heavily by distance and what it can teleport. In addition, Du needs to be calm and able to focus, any intoxication or disorientation ruins the focus and also emotional distress shuts down teleporting even if he wishes he could teleport out of the situation. Also, the electric sting across his body is unpleasant so he prefers not to do rapid teleports constantly as it will escalate the pain (even if the pain lasts only a couple of seconds). Also if he only visualizes mentally location and if he teleports in while there is a physical obstacle preventing fully manifesting in the area, immediately the foreign objects either get thrown off with great speed away from his teleporting location (bruising Du in a location where the object was) or Du gets his whole body slammed away from the object and get hurt.

General Description: Vi would describe herself as a buttoned-up, stylish librarian chic. She often wears glasses but also has contacts. She has a few small tattoos - book quotes and some of her favorite elements.

Personality: Sweet, quiet, and unassuming - Vi is an ideal friend. She might seem like a wallflower in large groups, but she is quiet chatty and friendly in class and low-key event settings.
Likes: Books, tacos, friends, finding solutions, getting messy, long showers after being messy, science texts, and romcoms.
Dislikes: Strong smells, squid, mean people, and horror/gore movies
Psychological Quirks: taphophobia, she has the nervous habits of fixing curls of her hair and clicking the top of clickable pens over and over.
Talents & Hobbies:

• Memorizing Molecular Structures
• Swimming
• Running
• Speed Reading
• Picks up bits and pieces of languages very quickly

Backstory: Vi comes from a loving, busy, chaotic home. Her mother is British with French and Moroccan roots and her father came to live in the US at age seven when his parents immigrated from the Dominican Republic. With six kids and a love for outdoorsy trips (all in one large camper), Vi found her escape in digging in the dirt far away from the noise during their many adventures. She has close ties to her parents and siblings, but has been looking forward to getting away and finding herself.

Esper Powers
Power: Seismic Sense
Ability Description: When touching/standing on the ground (either direct contract with dirt or on asphalt/concrete) Vi can use the vibrations coming through the group to sense structure/materials/voids in nearby areas along with generalized movement.
Power Level: ▉
Strength: At Power Level 1, Vi can tell how solid the ground is below her feet and can sense the intensity of movement heading in different directions around campus. (Silly examples - She can tell that a nearby dining hall is full so she decides to go to another one for lunch. Or she stands up a few moments before everyone else at the bus stop as she knows the bus is about to turn the corner and head towards them on the street.) As her powers grow, she may have the ability to fine-tune her sensitivity to the vibrations she can sense.
Weakness: Vi must be outside to sense the geological vibrations. Her types of shoes may also affect her ability - she would have to take off thick-soled boots or very high heels for her power to work.
As she is more sensitive, large amounts of vibrations may overwhelm her senses at lower power levels.

Alfred Dorzon

Full Name: Alfred Dorzon
Nickname(s): Frey
Alias: Reek
Age: 19
Esper Type: Abuser
Gender: Male
Sexual Identity: Cis-Male
Sexuality: Pansexual/indifferent
Relationship Status: Single
Major: Chemistry
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Greenish-Hazel
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 144lbs
Face Claim: Timothee Chalamet
General Description: Self-described Goth Freak with gel, eyeliner, and everything cut off when he gives a shit; All basic black other times. Boots always. He has piercings, tattoos, and some scarification but most can't be seen unless he is wearing his club clothing. He always has a box of Sampoerna Avolution cigarettes on him.

Personality: Frey would explain himself as a high-quality, stainless-steel nail sticking out of a plank of wood. He is a pain that you won't forget, but with him you'll always have an adventure and won't die or need medical attention. Probably.
Likes: Darkness, smoking, getting his way and/or being left alone, loud hard rock music when partying, classical music while studying/working on homework, chess at the park, Thai food, mixing volatile chemicals
Dislikes: Bright, neon, or pastel colors, nicotine patches, PDA, bland food, being bothered, not getting his way, when his experiments don't work out properly, rules
Psychological Quirks: Frey is a bag of contradictions. He can be quiet and thoughtful, but he has also been previously diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorder. Sometimes he works hard to control it, other times he embarrasses the anger. He also has a large nicotine habit.
Talents & Hobbies:

• Card Shark Skillz
• Complex Mathematical Equations
• Chess
• Broody Staring Contests
• Pissing People Off

Backstory: Frey is an orphan. Or at least, that is what he tells people. All subsequent details are every changing and most, if not all, of them are probably lies.

Esper Powers
Power: Fumokinesis - Smoke Manipulation
Ability Description: Frey can direct the flow, direction, and distribution of any close source of smoke. (He has to be physically interacting with the smoke or touching their source - such as his often handy cigarette.) When actively using his power, his hazel eyes turn a dark grey.
Power Level: ▉
Strength: At Power Level 1, Frey can change the direction of drifting smoke in a nearby, localized area. This could manifest as clouding the vision of someone who smoking, playing with the tendrils of smoke coming off an incense burner, or causing the smoke (if from a large enough source) to trigger a smoke alarm to go off faster than it might already would have. (Now, as to what Frey could do if he finds or creates a large fire/source of smoke - he hasn't tried that - yet.)
Weakness: Water and high winds can easily dampen or disperse his smoke to the point where he loses control. As he has to be close to the source of the smoke, Frey is more likely to be burned if he is trying to manipulate larger ignition sources.

[Miss Nyx]

Bam, have a baddie! I’ve got a male character in mind but I’ll hold off to make sure I can handle him.

Full Name: Alexandra Graves.
Nickname(s): Alex.
Alias: Oppress.
Age: 21 Years Old.
Esper Type: Abuser.
Gender: Female.
Sexual Identity: Cis-Female.
Sexuality: Pansexual opportunist.
Relationship Status: Single, and not exactly the commitment type.
Major: Psychology.
Hair Color: Light brown.
Eye Color: Blue-green.
Height: 5’3”.
Weight: 124 lbs.
Face Claim: Magdelena Z.
General Description: Petite built Alexandra isn’t much to bat an eye at. You might overlook her in a crowd, and she would be the very last person you noticed stepping into a room. The light weight she has is primarily muscle, and she’s got the typical scars from old scrapes and scratches during her childhood you’d expect of the average person.

While conventionally attractive, she’s usually got her face buried in a book or a plate of food, far too dismissive to be bothered with compliments. Her style of dressing is eclectic and bounces between almost tomboyish to feminine if the wind blows. She has a handful of piercings and tattoos, but only her nose ring is immediately noticeable.

Personality: Cocky, snide and a tidbit unrefined, Alex is a young woman who knows no restraint. She does what she wants when she wants to and doesn’t give a shit what anyone thinks about it. She seems at times to be perpetually at odds with the world, and doesn’t seem to care much about anything in particular, except of course her field of study.

She may at times be a bit of a tough pill to swallow, and her company isn’t for the light of heart… best believe befriending Alex will come with copious amounts of bad decisions, peer pressure and headache. Her only redeeming qualities seem to be that she’s great with keeping secrets and loyal to a fault. Make no mistake even for her small build, she can and will fuck someone up for bothering anyone she feels a friend.

Likes: Reading, dancing, most sports that involve running, stargazing, smoking weed and getting deeply philosophical, chai masala, homemade meals, trying new things, cramming her homework in at the last minute, pizza flavored potato chips, dogs, cheesy old horror movies, surfing, drinking (especially socially).
Dislikes: Goody-two-shoes types, squares, people who are uptight or otherwise incapable of having fun, talking about herself, cats (allergies), driving, flying, going home, judgmental types, being disturbed or interrupted when she clearly desires solitude.
Psychological Quirks: She has a massive, crippling fear of heights. You wouldn’t catch Alex on a foot high step stool. She suffers from PTSD for reasons she prefers not to disclose.
Talents & Hobbies:
Eidetic memory.
Actively a dancer and swimmer.
Took taekwondo for 15 years.
Took ballet for 15 years.
Took violin for 15 years.

Backstory: Her parents are both business tycoons, her mother managing an international collective of hotels and her father a lawyer… or, if you’d ask Alex, her mother is absolutely absentee and her father’s an abusive alcoholic. Either way, she’s basically been taking care of herself since she was sixteen, barely scraped through high school with a decent GPA and is now attending SGU because it was the first acceptance letter she received and a quick way to get the hell away from home.

Esper Powers

Power: Psychokinesis.
Ability Description: In such early stages she has found herself able to manipulate things around her with her mind as if applying physical force, with sometimes frightening results. Due to the volatile and uncontrollable nature of her abilities Alex currently spends an awful amount of time trying to avoid using them all together as opposed to hurting someone.

Power Level: ▉▉▉
Strength: She can push, pull, move, throw, lift and crush objects around her without the need to engage them physically, within a fifteen foot radius… At present Alexandra has not seen or sensed a limit of what she can do with psychokinesis with the obvious exception of the fact that she has nearly no control of how intense her powers may become. She’s found the few occasions she has tried to utilize her abilities have terrifying results. Attempting to push someone away has resulted in several shattered ribs. Trying to bring a canned soda from a table across the room has resulted in the aluminum can being completely crushed and flattened paper thin... thus far any attempt at using her power either has no reaction or an extremely dramatic reaction (she may attempt to lift a car and may instead send the car flying through the air to land haphazardly where ever it may fall). Controlling her ability is feat in and of itself and due to its volatile nature Alex simply avoids doing anything that might trigger a psychic reaction.

Weakness: Because of the immense mental exertion of this ability she finds herself tiring extremely quickly when doing an enormous feat (such as lifting a car or throwing a very heavy item through a wall) and with abusive use of this force Alex is prone to bouts of hemorrhaging that cause small amounts of brain damage. With repeated abusive use of her abilities without being able to control herself, she risks serious brain hemorrhaging, coma or certain death.

Alex’s ability seems to be tied into her emotions, as such very unfortunate things can happen when she is under extreme stress or very angry.

[Peripherie]

Bam, have a baddie! I’ve got a male character in mind but I’ll hold off to make sure I can handle him.

Copious amounts of bad decisions? Ooo... I think Frey and Alex could be friends. >:) (Or ya know, disinterested individuals who often do reckless but fun stuff in proximity to one another. :P)

[Darkleather]

Full Name: Karl Henderson
Nickname(s): Ledge
Alias: Haunt
Age: 19
Esper Type: Esper
Gender: Male
Sexual Identity: Male
Sexuality: Gay
Relationship Status: Single.
Major: English Literature
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Green
Height: 6ft
Weight: 75k
Face Claim: Unknown
General Description: Ledge always wears a leather bike jacket, jeans and boots.  He has no tattoos or piercings.  In the last year, after he passed his bike test, he often wears leather jeans as well.  Virtually all of his clothing is second hand or worn.  He's started wearing a leather waistcoat over the leather jacket that has got patches stitched on it, covering up the bike club logo on the back.
Personality: Ledge is a loner, who spent most of his high school years being bullied.  He comes from the poorer end of town, so never had new clothes and as a result was looked down on by a lot of his class-mates.  He was tormented mercilessly, which led to him sitting on a window ledge threatening to throw himself off - thus the nickname that his kindly classmates bestowed on him.  In the last couple of years, he has grown, his angular features have become handsome and he has put on muscle.  His ownership of a bike has also given him some allure.  But years of being disparaged have left him as a loner, happier with a book than talking to other people.  Although he could easily compete at several sports, he isn't interested and has never joined any teams.  His tendency to self isolate has become worse since he realised that he is attracted to men rather than women.

While he still doesn't make friends easily, he is more sociable than previously with the other students at college.  He has found more people willing to deal with him as an equal rather than based on their assumptions.  However, his default behaviour is still to find a quiet corner to read in.  He hasn't tried out for any frats and has kept clear of the sports field.  The closest he gets to that is when he hits the gym.  He is a quiet room-mate and doesn't cause any trouble.  In fact, they barely notice him
Likes: Literature, bikes, cinema (independent films rather than mainstream)
Dislikes: Sports, school "activities", bullies
Psychological Quirks: He has a tendency towards depression; gets very nervous when talking to people he doesn't know or to groups
Talents & Hobbies: List 5.
1) Cinephile - extensive knowledge of films and film-making.
2) Fast reader
3) Mechanic - good at making repairs to engines and tinkering with them to make improvements
4) Runs a blog about films

Backstory: Ledge's dad left when he was 8.  He doesn't remember much about him, although he ran with a motorbike gang.  The leather waistcoat that Ledge wears over his bike jacket was his fathers.  His mother works two jobs and fights to pay the rent and bills each month

Esper Powers

Power: Chameleon
Ability Description: Ledge can manipulate light to make himself blend into his surroundings
Power Level: ▉ 1
Strength: At the moment, he can make himself less noticeable and blend in - but if he moves, there is a visible effect that makes him visible.  As strength goes up, Ledge could achieve full invisibility.
Weakness: Using the power seems to make it more difficult for Ledge to see what is going on around him - as he fades out of view, so the world becomes dimmer to him

Copious amounts of bad decisions? Ooo... I think Frey and Alex could be friends. >:) (Or ya know, disinterested individuals who often do reckless but fun stuff in proximity to one another. :P)

You know, I thought something similar when I was reading over Frey’s CS. I think Alex would find him worthy of her glorious presence. -laughs!- They’d be a terrible twosome for sure, and hey… the rejects have gotta stick together right?

[TheBlackThrone]

Your characters are approved. Either today or the reprieve of the weekend, I am going to set up the character thread, ooc, and Messenger threads.  :-)

[TheBlackThrone]

Hey everybody. If your character has been approved, then you can go ahead and start moving in. There are links on the front page under "Links" highlighted in blue. Feel free to add your character sheets to the character thread and begin plotting with others to fill out the Snapshot. Of course, if you don't have any ideas, you don't have to do it pre-game. But just chatting in the OOC or PMs may help kickstart some ideas and inspiration.  :-)

[Wired Rabbit]

Edit: Hi! Here's Lauren, my work in progress character for submission.

Also Throne, you may have mentioned somewhere already, but is it okay if characters live on campus?

Full Name: Lauren Pope
Nickname(s): Pope
Alias: Magnet
Age: 21
Esper Type: Esper
Gender: Female
Sexual Identity: Cis-Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Relationship Status: Single
Major: Kinesiology (Sophomore)
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 145 lbs
Face Claim: Barbara Lopez
General Description: Lauren is the tall, dark haired girl, sitting in the back of the class in a desk that is almost too small for her frame. She's wearing the same SGU hooded sweatshirt as yesterday (hood up), with sweatpants and sneakers. She used to wear earrings and necklaces, nice ones, probably from family money, but now only wears stacks of bracelets on her wrists, or nothing at all. Simple, easy, something she probably took a nap in unless her teammates dressed her up for a volleyball event. Make-up days are game days. Otherwise Lauren is super low-maintenance.

Personality: Lauren is a slacker. She doesn't volunteer for anything, and enjoys doing the bare minimum most of the time. But she's also funny. And loyal to her friends. And calm under pressure. There is never any drama with Lauren, or anger, or even outbursts. In fact, if she's not hanging with her teammates she's probably doodling sea turtles into the boring pages of her math textbook.
Likes: Volleyball, the gym, her teammates, sleeping, napping, doodling (drawing), the ocean, marine biology
Dislikes: Most things that require effort, coursework, early classes, literature (in general), arguments, loud arguments
Psychological Quirks: Social anxiety. Lauren was always a quiet jock, even if she has a lot of friends and teammates. The fact that pencils, spoons, and other metal objects naturally float towards her the instant she thinks about them has only made this worse, and has given her even more reason to stay at the back of the classroom, the furthest she can get from the center of attention.
Talents & Hobbies:

• Running
• Vertical Jumping
• Yoga
• Drawing
• Visual Memory

Backstory: Lauren was recruited from out-of-state into SGU on a volleyball scholarship. She's a team player, and a great athlete, but a poor student because she refuses to focus on her grades and apply herself. So far she has managed to get by doing the bare minimum (first year classes were mostly memory and multiple choice anyway), and she would prefer it to stay that way, although sophomore year is definitely harder. Her parents want her to graduate with a "degree" and a "job" but Lauren has no idea who, or what she wants, especially when it comes to her "future".

Esper Powers

Power: Metallokinesis
Ability Description: Lauren is something of a human magnet. She has the ability to move metal objects with her mind.
Power Level: ▉ 1
Strength: If Lauren thinks about a metal object, it will move, with considerable finesse. So far, she has only moved small objects, such as her pencils or the nails in her dorm room wall. These small objects tend to pull towards her, as if she has a magnetic field, or float nearby her heart, unless she gives them a specific trajectory in her mind. As her power grows, she could move and manipulate larger objects, but for now her doodles have gotten much better, and highly detailed.
Weakness: Lauren's main problem, other than the amount of small metal instruments in the cafeteria and the science labs, is her own wandering thoughts. For example, if she has a crush on someone, she tends to tug on their jewelry, and pull it (and them) towards herself. In general, her powers and her thoughts are extremely hard to hide.

*plants interest flag* I've already sent in Eri's sheet, so lets see how this goes. :)

[Juggtacular]

I'm working on my guy now. Will have his sheet up soonish.

[Juggtacular]

Full Name: Davion Cole
Nickname(s): Dee, DC, Train(he hits like a freight train on the field)
Alias: Shift
Age: 21
Esper Type: Esper
Gender: Male
Sexual Identity: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Major: Engineering
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Hazel
Height: 6'3
Weight: 230lbs
Face Claim: Jordan Calloway
General Description: Davion looks like a combination of his parents, getting his mother's skin tone, eyes, and nose. While he seems to look more like his dad in his features and mannerisms. He stands at a respectable 6'3, and is heavily muscled as he was always active in school and played basketball and football growing up. Now that he's at the college level, he's gotten even more yoked.

He dresses comfortably at almost all times, usually in sweats, shorts, or jeans, combined with a graphic shirt, sleeveless hoodie, etc... And more often than not, he's in slides(flip flops) because they're so damn comfy, but he always keeps a pair of shoes in his bag. He is fully capable of dressing for the occasion but hopes he doesn't have too many occasions to force the issue in the first place.

Personality: Davion is your typical kid from the hood. He has his guard up around new people because of old habits and trauma, but can quickly and easily open up to somebody once they show him what they're really all about. Despite his tough exterior, he's a pretty nice guy and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He has a good sense of humor, although it does get dark from time to time considering the things he saw growing up in Compton and the things he did to survive before moving to Santa Glevens.
Likes: Cars, Weed, Video Games/Movies, Reading, Chess, Good Food, DnD
Dislikes: Bugs, Police, Assholes, Bullies, Tests, Eyes on potatoes(fuck you it's a real dislike)
Psychological Quirks: PTSD, Night Terrors(from the PTSD), Haphephobia(The Fear of touch) and while not so much a fear, but he gets nervous at the thought of what could happen if he touches the wrong thing at the wrong time with the wrong mindset.
Talents & Hobbies:

• Gaming - He has always had a love for video games even as a child, and he could play professionally if he wanted.
• Sports(Football/Basketball) - Davion is at SGU on a full athletic scholarship, and is projected to be picked early in the Draft.
• Martial Arts(MMA) - His father signed him up for MMA classes when he was a kid and he fell in love. He's never missed a day of training.
• Mechanics - Davion has been working on fixing things since he was a kid, from engines to microwaves.
• Charismatic - He has a natural way with words and feel about him that makes it easy for him to talk to people and get them on his side.

Backstory: Davion was born and raised in Compton, which is still as bad now as it's always been. His dad owned a failing auto body shop/garage, and his mother was an EMT, so combined they made barely enough to survive above the poverty line. Still, life wasn't easy and Davion knew what it was like to be poor. Lights getting cut off, no food, old clothes, etc, etc... He can't tell you how many times they used their church's food bank until they got food stamps. Still, his parents did the best they could and splurged when they had the opportunity. He would get a game console randomly now and then, or a new pair of shoes out of the blue when they could afford it.

The funny thing though, is that Davion never realized he was poor until a classmate started making fun of him about it. That was his first fight, which he unfortunately lost. His dad put him in MMA classes after that though, and he has been at the same gym training since he was eight. His family's financial situation got worse when his parents accidentally got pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, which meant two more mouths to feed in the exact same amount of space. When he was twelve, going on thirteen, Davion got into drugs and the street life to help pay the bills. Sure he worked with his dad and helped out around the gym, but his dad couldn't afford to pay him, and the gym paid peanuts since he was so young and only doing things like wiping down equipment and sparring with kids his own age. And since he was playing basketball and football, he had plenty of access to his fellow students and some of their less responsible older siblings and even sometimes parents.

The money was good and it helped a lot. So much so that he's pretty sure his parents knew what he was doing, but couldn't afford to tell him to stop with the possibility of them being homeless was so real. He kept dealing drugs until his sophomore year in high school, and the thing that made him stop was walking around the corner to meet up with his best friend Dre just in time to see him get shot multiple times by rival dealers on their turf. Davion immediately start firing off shots and scared them off, but Dre was seriously injured. Davion stayed with him until the ambulance arrived, and who should jump out but his mother? The look she gave him spoke volumes, so she didn't have to say anything. She just asked what happened and let Davion ride with his best friend to the hospital. He stayed at the hospital all day and night while Dre got emergency surgery, and after nearly fifteen hours the doctors saved his life. They told Davion if he hadn't called them so fast he would've died, but it didn't make him feel any better.

Seeing his best friend in the world with tubes and holes all over his body scared him beyond words. And his mother seeing him at his worst, covered in Dre's blood with the unmistakable shape of a pistol tucked into a holster in his pants...her disappointment crushed him. That was the start of the rest of Davion's life. He started to apply himself in school again, doubled down on the sports, and in a few months his family moved away from Compton after his father did some work on a car and somehow struck up a lucrative business deal from it. The entire Cole family moved to Santa Glevens, and with money in the bank and a new environment, Davion thrived.

He graduated high school with top marks and got multiple scholarship offerings across the country. He chose to stay in LA however and went to SGU on a full-ride football scholarship. His college career has been pretty uneventful aside from kicking ass on the field, but his life changed the day the meteor dropped. He was jogging near the park, and actually on his way there when it hit. Even a block or two away as he was, the shockwave was powerful enough to launch him off his feet and knock him out. When he woke up, he felt weird but he wasn't hurt or injured, so he went back to the dorms, but strange things have been happening since then and he has no idea what's going on, but he is different in a way that he is afraid to tell anyone just how much he's changed.

Esper Powers

Power: Omni-Morph Duplication
Ability Description: Davion's entire cellular structure has been altered to allow him to absorb and duplicate the properties of whatever or whoever he touches through direct skin contact. This includes solids, liquids, gasses, and even forms of energy. To put it simply, if he touches a rock, any part of all of his body can become stone. If he grabs a downed power line, he will change into living electricity. And if he grabs someone who can control fire, his body composition will become flames. No matter what he becomes, he retains full consciousness and control enough over his form to maintain a humanoid appearance. The process is always the same, and from the point of contact, his body will visually begin to change itself in a rippling, wave like pattern until the transformation is complete.
Power Level: ▉ ▉ ▉ 3
Strength: Whatever property Davion absorbs, he gains all the benefits of that form. If he absorbs steel, he gains superhuman strength and durability due to being made of pure metal. If he becomes fire, he can project flames and solid matter passes through him as fire has no substance. Water allows him to manipulate his body freely and slide under doors, etc... The limit to his duplication stops at living entities in that he can absorb properties or powers from an individual, but he can not duplicate the individual themselves. So he could copy your power if you control electricity to become electricity himself however, he wouldn't turn into you or gain your actual ability to control electricity. This is only applicable when the person is actively using their ability at the time he makes physical contact. The ease and time of the process depend on the complexity of what he's duplicating. Turning into fire for example is nearly instant, but turning into wood takes longer as a tree is far more complex than a flame.

Weakness: Davion is all power, no finesse at the moment, and as such he treats his abilities with caution because he can easily kill somebody if he doesn't control his strength or what he is while in their vicinity. Just as he gains all the strengths of a certain form, he also gets the weaknesses as well. If he becomes flames, enough water or removing the air from around him will put him out. If he becomes ice, hot enough flames will make him melt. If he turns into iron, he gets incredibly heavy. Beyond the obvious cons of his power, there are more subtle ones that he has to deal with. He can only duplicate one property or element at a time, and he must be in contact with whatever element or property he wants to duplicate every time. So he can't just "remember" what it felt like to be made of granite, he has to find a piece of granite and make contact before he can become granite again. His transformations rely on his concentration but do not necessarily need his concentration to trigger. So while he must focus to stay transformed, he could shift randomly if he trips and touches something with his bare skin. This also means that whenever he is knocked out, or hurt enough to shake his concentration, he will automatically revert to his human form.

There is no instinctive "feel" on how his powers work, so it's all trial and error. And what makes it worse is that each form is completely different and he has to figure it out in real-time. He had to figure out how to shoot fire from his hand for example, as that's a byproduct of his actual ability, not the ability itself. This is an ongoing process and he's actually started journaling so he can read his thoughts on how different forms feel and work. Perhaps the most annoying part is that as his entire body possesses the power to change, he expends enormous amounts of energy to shift his cells into a state of flux and then an entirely new composition altogether before turning back again. As a result, he eats like a bodybuilder and a strongman had a baby. It's not an exaggeration to say he scarfs down enough food to equal nearly 10,000 calories per day, just so he doesn't pass out from transforming.

Edit: Hi! Here's Lauren, my work in progress character for submission.

Also Throne, you may have mentioned somewhere already, but is it okay if characters live on campus?

Full Name: Lauren Pope
Nickname(s): Pope
Alias: Magnet
Age: 21
Esper Type: Esper
Gender: Female
Sexual Identity: Cis-Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Relationship Status: Single
Major: Kinesiology (Sophomore)
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 145 lbs
Face Claim: Barbara Lopez
General Description: Lauren is the tall, dark haired girl, sitting in the back of the class in a desk that is almost too small for her frame. She's wearing the same SGU hooded sweatshirt as yesterday (hood up), with sweatpants and sneakers. She used to wear earrings and necklaces, nice ones, probably from family money, but now only wears stacks of bracelets on her wrists, or nothing at all. Simple, easy, something she probably took a nap in unless her teammates dressed her up for a volleyball event. Make-up days are game days. Otherwise Lauren is super low-maintenance.

Personality: Lauren is a slacker. She doesn't volunteer for anything, and enjoys doing the bare minimum most of the time. But she's also funny. And loyal to her friends. And calm under pressure. There is never any drama with Lauren, or anger, or even outbursts. In fact, if she's not hanging with her teammates she's probably doodling sea turtles into the boring pages of her math textbook.
Likes: Volleyball, the gym, her teammates, sleeping, napping, doodling (drawing), the ocean, marine biology
Dislikes: Most things that require effort, coursework, early classes, literature (in general), arguments, loud arguments
Psychological Quirks: Social anxiety. Lauren was always a quiet jock, even if she has a lot of friends and teammates. The fact that pencils, spoons, and other metal objects naturally float towards her the instant she thinks about them has only made this worse, and has given her even more reason to stay at the back of the classroom, the furthest she can get from the center of attention.
Talents & Hobbies:

• Running
• Vertical Jumping
• Yoga
• Drawing
• Visual Memory

Backstory: Lauren was recruited from out-of-state into SGU on a volleyball scholarship. She's a team player, and a great athlete, but a poor student because she refuses to focus on her grades and apply herself. So far she has managed to get by doing the bare minimum (first year classes were mostly memory and multiple choice anyway), and she would prefer it to stay that way, although sophomore year is definitely harder. Her parents want her to graduate with a "degree" and a "job" but Lauren has no idea who, or what she wants, especially when it comes to her "future".

Esper Powers

Power: Metallokinesis
Ability Description: Lauren is something of a human magnet. She has the ability to move metal objects with her mind.
Power Level: ▉ 1
Strength: If Lauren thinks about a metal object, it will move, with considerable finesse. So far, she has only moved small objects, such as her pencils or the nails in her dorm room wall. These small objects tend to pull towards her, as if she has a magnetic field, or float nearby her heart, unless she gives them a specific trajectory in her mind. As her power grows, she could move and manipulate larger objects, but for now her doodles have gotten much better, and highly detailed.
Weakness: Lauren's main problem, other than the amount of small metal instruments in the cafeteria and the science labs, is her own wandering thoughts. For example, if she has a crush on someone, she tends to tug on their jewelry, and pull it (and them) towards herself. In general, her powers and her thoughts are extremely hard to hide.

Yes. You can live on campus.

My only question for Lauren is if she attracts metals that are magnetic only because there are metals that aren't magnetic.

[TheBlackThrone]

Full Name: Davion Cole
Nickname(s): Dee, DC, Train(he hits like a freight train on the field)
Alias: Shift
Age: 21
Esper Type: Esper
Gender: Male
Sexual Identity: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Major: Engineering
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Hazel
Height: 6'3
Weight: 230lbs
Face Claim: Jordan Calloway
General Description: Davion looks like a combination of his parents, getting his mother's skin tone, eyes, and nose. While he seems to look more like his dad in his features and mannerisms. He stands at a respectable 6'3, and is heavily muscled as he was always active in school and played basketball and football growing up. Now that he's at the college level, he's gotten even more yoked.

He dresses comfortably at almost all times, usually in sweats, shorts, or jeans, combined with a graphic shirt, sleeveless hoodie, etc... And more often than not, he's in slides(flip flops) because they're so damn comfy, but he always keeps a pair of shoes in his bag. He is fully capable of dressing for the occasion but hopes he doesn't have too many occasions to force the issue in the first place.

Personality: Davion is your typical kid from the hood. He has his guard up around new people because of old habits and trauma, but can quickly and easily open up to somebody once they show him what they're really all about. Despite his tough exterior, he's a pretty nice guy and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He has a good sense of humor, although it does get dark from time to time considering the things he saw growing up in Compton and the things he did to survive before moving to Santa Glevens.
Likes: Cars, Weed, Video Games/Movies, Reading, Chess, Good Food, DnD
Dislikes: Bugs, Police, Assholes, Bullies, Tests, Eyes on potatoes(fuck you it's a real dislike)
Psychological Quirks: PTSD, Night Terrors(from the PTSD), Haphephobia(The Fear of touch) and while not so much a fear, but he gets nervous at the thought of what could happen if he touches the wrong thing at the wrong time with the wrong mindset.
Talents & Hobbies:

• Gaming - He has always had a love for video games even as a child, and he could play professionally if he wanted.
• Sports(Football/Basketball) - Davion is at SGU on a full athletic scholarship, and is projected to be picked early in the Draft.
• Martial Arts(MMA) - His father signed him up for MMA classes when he was a kid and he fell in love. He's never missed a day of training.
• Mechanics - Davion has been working on fixing things since he was a kid, from engines to microwaves.
• Charismatic - He has a natural way with words and feel about him that makes it easy for him to talk to people and get them on his side.

Backstory: Davion was born and raised in Compton, which is still as bad now as it's always been. His dad owned a failing auto body shop/garage, and his mother was an EMT, so combined they made barely enough to survive above the poverty line. Still, life wasn't easy and Davion knew what it was like to be poor. Lights getting cut off, no food, old clothes, etc, etc... He can't tell you how many times they used their church's food bank until they got food stamps. Still, his parents did the best they could and splurged when they had the opportunity. He would get a game console randomly now and then, or a new pair of shoes out of the blue when they could afford it.

The funny thing though, is that Davion never realized he was poor until a classmate started making fun of him about it. That was his first fight, which he unfortunately lost. His dad put him in MMA classes after that though, and he has been at the same gym training since he was eight. His family's financial situation got worse when his parents accidentally got pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, which meant two more mouths to feed in the exact same amount of space. When he was twelve, going on thirteen, Davion got into drugs and the street life to help pay the bills. Sure he worked with his dad and helped out around the gym, but his dad couldn't afford to pay him, and the gym paid peanuts since he was so young and only doing things like wiping down equipment and sparring with kids his own age. And since he was playing basketball and football, he had plenty of access to his fellow students and some of their less responsible older siblings and even sometimes parents.

The money was good and it helped a lot. So much so that he's pretty sure his parents knew what he was doing, but couldn't afford to tell him to stop with the possibility of them being homeless was so real. He kept dealing drugs until his sophomore year in high school, and the thing that made him stop was walking around the corner to meet up with his best friend Dre just in time to see him get shot multiple times by rival dealers on their turf. Davion immediately start firing off shots and scared them off, but Dre was seriously injured. Davion stayed with him until the ambulance arrived, and who should jump out but his mother? The look she gave him spoke volumes, so she didn't have to say anything. She just asked what happened and let Davion ride with his best friend to the hospital. He stayed at the hospital all day and night while Dre got emergency surgery, and after nearly fifteen hours the doctors saved his life. They told Davion if he hadn't called them so fast he would've died, but it didn't make him feel any better.

Seeing his best friend in the world with tubes and holes all over his body scared him beyond words. And his mother seeing him at his worst, covered in Dre's blood with the unmistakable shape of a pistol tucked into a holster in his pants...her disappointment crushed him. That was the start of the rest of Davion's life. He started to apply himself in school again, doubled down on the sports, and in a few months his family moved away from Compton after his father did some work on a car and somehow struck up a lucrative business deal from it. The entire Cole family moved to Santa Glevens, and with money in the bank and a new environment, Davion thrived.

He graduated high school with top marks and got multiple scholarship offerings across the country. He chose to stay in LA however and went to SGU on a full-ride football scholarship. His college career has been pretty uneventful aside from kicking ass on the field, but his life changed the day the meteor dropped. He was jogging near the park, and actually on his way there when it hit. Even a block or two away as he was, the shockwave was powerful enough to launch him off his feet and knock him out. When he woke up, he felt weird but he wasn't hurt or injured, so he went back to the dorms, but strange things have been happening since then and he has no idea what's going on, but he is different in a way that he is afraid to tell anyone just how much he's changed.

Esper Powers

Power: Omni-Morph Duplication
Ability Description: Davion's entire cellular structure has been altered to allow him to absorb and duplicate the properties of whatever or whoever he touches through direct skin contact. This includes solids, liquids, gasses, and even forms of energy. To put it simply, if he touches a rock, any part of all of his body can become stone. If he grabs a downed power line, he will change into living electricity. And if he grabs someone who can control fire, his body composition will become flames. No matter what he becomes, he retains full consciousness and control enough over his form to maintain a humanoid appearance. The process is always the same, and from the point of contact, his body will visually begin to change itself in a rippling, wave like pattern until the transformation is complete.
Power Level: ▉ ▉ ▉ ▉ ▉ 5
Strength: Whatever property Davion absorbs, he gains all the benefits of that form. If he absorbs steel, he gains superhuman strength and durability due to being made of pure metal. If he becomes fire, he can project flames and solid matter passes through him as fire has no substance. Water allows him to manipulate his body freely and slide under doors, etc... The limit to his duplication stops at living entities in that he can absorb properties or powers from an individual, but he can not duplicate the individual themselves. So he could copy your power if you control electricity to become electricity himself however, he wouldn't turn into you or gain your actual ability to control electricity. The ease and time of the process depend on the complexity of what he's duplicating. Turning into fire for example is nearly instant, but turning into wood takes longer as a tree is far more complex than a flame.

Weakness: Davion is all power, no finesse at the moment, and as such he treats his abilities with caution because he can easily kill somebody if he doesn't control his strength or what he is while in their vicinity. Just as he gains all the strengths of a certain form, he also gets the weaknesses as well. If he becomes flames, enough water or removing the air from around him will put him out. If he becomes ice, hot enough flames will make him melt. If he turns into iron, he gets incredibly heavy. Beyond the obvious cons of his power, there are more subtle ones that he has to deal with. He can only duplicate one property or element at a time, and he must be in contact with whatever element or property he wants to duplicate every time. So he can't just "remember" what it felt like to be made of granite, he has to find a piece of granite and make contact before he can become granite again. His transformations rely on his concentration but do not necessarily need his concentration to trigger. So while he must focus to stay transformed, he could shift randomly if he trips and touches something with his bare skin. This also means that whenever he is knocked out, or hurt enough to shake his concentration, he will automatically revert to his human form.

There is no instinctive "feel" on how his powers work, so it's all trial and error. And what makes it worse is that each form is completely different and he has to figure it out in real-time. He had to figure out how to shoot fire from his hand for example, as that's a byproduct of his actual ability, not the ability itself. This is an ongoing process and he's actually started journaling so he can read his thoughts on how different forms feel and work. Perhaps the most annoying part is that as his entire body possesses the power to change, he expends enormous amounts of energy to shift his cells into a state of flux and then an entirely new composition altogether before turning back again. As a result, he eats like a bodybuilder and a strongman had a baby. It's not an exaggeration to say he scarfs down enough food to equal nearly 10,000 calories per day, just so he doesn't pass out from transforming.

Because you made him PL 5 at the start of the game, he has absolutely no control over this power. Literally none. So, he will have to find a way to compensate. Also, I will not be allowing him to "Rogue" powers from people on touch. They would have to be producing the energy or element he wants to replicate for him to do so. If Johnny isn't covered in flames or holding a fire ball, then he can't just touch Johnny and say he has his powers. That ability to duplicate somebody else's power would be a different power entirely.

If you want to give your character some control over the power starting out, then I recommend either starting him out at PL 1 since you said he will be practicing, or possibly PL 3. PL 3 starting out is still very dangerous for others around him, but at least he'd be able to trigger his abilities at will versus unwillingly. Each month you're active in the game, he can learn more and more control.

That's on me for not clarifying, but basically what you said is what I meant. I'll reword it to clarify that they have to actively be using their ability for him to get the corresponding element/property from it. And I'll drop him down to 3. that's no problem.

Ok. Once you make those changes, you can add him to the Character Thread.  :-)

[Wired Rabbit]

Yes. You can live on campus.

My only question for Lauren is if she attracts metals that are magnetic only because there are metals that aren't magnetic.

That's a great question!  :-)

I think for PL 1, yes, Lauren can only attract metals that are magnetic. This makes things easier for me in scenes with metals, and is something I can play with in the future as Lauren's powers grow.

I've edited her Esper abilities to reflect this and included a list of magnetic metals in her CS below.

Ability Description: Lauren is something of a human magnet. She has the ability to move metal objects with her mind.
Power Level: ▉ 1
Strength: If Lauren thinks about a metal object, it will move, with considerable finesse. At Lauren's current power level, these metal objects must be magnetic and are usually small in size. These small magnetic objects tend to pull towards her, as if she has her own magnetic field. Unless she gives them a specific trajectory in her mind, they tend to float nearby her heart, or around her body if there are multiple small objects (e.g. nails, paperclips, coins, batteries, some jewelry).
Weakness: Lauren's magnetic field is always on. If her thoughts wander, she will accidentally pull magnetic metals in her vicinity towards her. If someone is wearing magnetic metals, and Lauren thinks about them, she will tug on them too. This means her powers (and her thoughts) are extremely hard to hide.

Magnetic Metals

• Iron

-leaves this here for Throne-  ;D Heheheheee—oh, is that a Wired Rabbit I see? Lovely lady you’ve got there, as always.

Full Name: Sebastien Gabriel Almeida
Nickname(s): Bastien works fine for those that know him well.
Alias: Everlast.
Age: 20.
Esper Type: Esper.
Gender: Male.
Sexual Identity: Cis-male.
Sexuality: Bi-curious.
Relationship Status: Single.
Major: Animal Health & Science.
Hair Color: Brown.
Eye Color: Brown.
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 175 lbs. / 80 kg.
Face Claim: Leon Gotz.
General Description: Tall, agile and well toned, Bastien is what you’d basically expect of any privileged youth growing up in today’s West Coast world. His hair falls in wide spirals that have been let to grow as they please, styled by the wind and the salt of the sea. His eyes are deep and expressive, face soft yet masculine and constantly teetering between end of day scruff and clean shaven.
When it comes to attire Bastien isn’t crazy for expensive brand name labels and will wear literally anything he deems comfortable… he’s been known to enjoy thrifting some of his most stylish pieces, he’s proud to say.

Personality: Calm, collected Bastien is a curious individual indeed… he seems to mesh with just about any sort of personality no matter how challenging or standoffish they might be. His mellow energy and tendency to just flow with the world around him is almost infectious… he’s almost always in a good mood, and is one of those effortlessly kind sort of people who just brighten the room with their presence.

His occasional pensive and quiet demeanor can at times give the wrong impression, he hates coming off as dismissive or rude, he just genuinely might be spacing out and mean zero harm for it. Contrary to his extroverted exterior he does find himself more comfortable in smaller numbers and will often leave social gatherings early if feeling overwhelmed. Bastien is the pacifistic sort, to a fault… but you should pray if he’s ever placed in the position that he feels he must defend himself.
Likes: The ocean, marine life, most wildlife in general, sailing, kayaking, hiking, dirt bikes/atvs, any and every baby animal ever, marijuana, keeping himself fit, ramen, video games, karaoke (he’s god awful but it’s fun!), hot tea and coffee, LARP/Cosplay, photography, sustainable sushi (especially sashimi), being around people with good energy/spirits.
Dislikes: Bullies, cops, narcs, large crowds, uninvited invasion of his personal space, rude people, people who abuse animals, waking up early, judgemental types, licorice, overly sweet things.
Psychological Quirks: He has massive social anxiety, the panic inducing type. With the help of therapy, medication and just putting himself out there Bastien has managed to overcome his anxiety and only has small moments when this condition affects him these days.
Talents & Hobbies:

• With an IQ over 200, Bastien’s enjoying a full tuition academic scholarship.
• He’s a triathlete, and competes for the SGU Swim, Track Team and Soccer Team.
• A self proclaimed Otaku, most of his hobbies that aren’t outdoors involve anime, manga or some form of Japanese pop culture.
• Origami, mahjong, thousand piece puzzles, chess, doodling, yes to all and often.
• He loves animals, especially cats, and has six rescues at his condo downtown.

Backstory: Sebastian Almeida is the second born son of Joaquim Almeida, a famed Portuguese fashion designer and Evelyn Roix a filipina and French model and socialite. He has a twin brother who is older than he is by two minutes. It’s safe to say he’s lived a seemingly charmed, picturesque young life. His parents own their ranch in the foothills of San Diego. He had enough money from modeling as a child to buy his own house when he turned sixteen… instead, Sebastien sought to donate it all after he was awarded a full ride scholarship to the University of California, in Los Angeles.

Being a very young teen in college however was an extremely stressful experience. It’s hardly any surprise there was a year or two of very difficult times for Sebastien, falling in with the wrong sorts of friends and squandering his potential. It wasn’t until both of his parents were killed in a car crash that he found himself faced with a rude wake up call… and this is precisely what inspired him to transfer schools and change his major, not only to be closer to his twin but to escape the temptation of a darker world at such a heavy point in his life.

Esper Powers

Power: Psionic Regeneration.
Ability Description: Sebastien has the ability to regenerate damaged tissue, bone matter and cells on an extraordinary level. At its early stage he is not yet certain the extent of his regenerative abilities but he’s found that as time goes on since this discovery, he’s able to recover from all sorts of physical injuries… even those one might otherwise present as life threatening. When this power is in use, one can physically feel the presence of psychic energy and see it as a soft glow of white like thin wisps of smoke dancing over Sebastien’s entire being.
Power Level: ▉▉▉
Strength: At the third power level Sebastien finds if he were to prick his finger the wound would seal in a matter of seconds. He can drench a hand with boiling water and find the blistered skin reversed and smooth in perhaps ten minutes. If he were to break a bone it would be roughly thirty minutes before the injury completely repaired itself. Admittedly, Bastien has found himself morbidly curious at how much more serious injury he might be able to withstand.
Weakness: While he has found himself able to recover from serious injuries it does not mean he is impervious to the pain of such injuries, it’s very safe to assume a serious enough injury could cause him to go into shock, cardiac arrest or coma… as such he’s taken to medicating before purposely trying something stupid to test the limits of what he can do. Bastien has also taken notice that the more severe an injury is the longer it seems to take to heal from another injury, by example if he jumped from six stories and broke his legs, he would heal rapidly, but if he were to suffer a stab wound an hour later the reaction time of healing would be exasperatedly slower than the normal rate, making an injury that typically heals in seconds take closer to two or three hours.

[TheBlackThrone]

I sent everyone who posted a CS pending approval a PM.

Current writers and future writers, when you design a character, I want you to really think about their power progress from beginning to end. If you see them doing one thing with their power, and you hope by PL 5, they are doing something else, then you may be imagining two different powers. You must give your character one specialization, and it should be something they can grow to extremes by PL 5.

Characters who like to start at PL 5, your character's power will be lethal not only to others but potentially themselves. Of course, this is only if your character's power is weaponized. Some future applicants may create harmless and helpful powers. But just understand that starting out at level 5 means absolutely no control—literally none. So if you were hoping they'd have even a small amount of control at the beginning, then their PL needs to be lower.

She doesn’t wear makeup unless she has to and jewelry consists of small earrings and a rope braided bracelet on her right wrist. She has a small tattoo on her body that her family has no idea she has.
Personality: Livia on the outside is a very confident and talented soccer player. She is aware of her status and takes advantage of the money that is so easily available to her on a daily basis. She can stand in front of a room full of business men and women with an idea, but when it comes to her peers she may seem cold and standoffish. In reality she craves to be accepted by those around her, but since she was always in the world of adults growing up she is a social nerd and not quite sure how to break into the social norms of college life.
Once a person gets to really know the Livia hiding inside they will find a compassionate and caring person. Instead of flaunting the money she has, she donates it to the local animal shelter where she volunteers when she isn’t involved in her soccer activities and studying.
Likes: Loves loves loves animals. reading, dancing, hiking, a good cup of tea, photography, and cuddling even though she won’t admit it.
Dislikes: Bullies, losing a game, beer, smoking, boring lectures
Psychological Quirks: Rejection. Afraid of heights. And a recurring nightmare of being trapped in a fire.
Talents & Hobbies:
Cooking almost anything as long as she is sharing with someone else.
Sports but especially soccer. Offered a full scholarship, but declined so someone else who needed the money on the team could use it
Languages: English, Korean, Spanish, Sign Language
Plays the harmonica
Tying a knot in a cherry stem with her tongue
Backstory: Livia comes from a very well off family and will most likely be looked at as a spoiled brat. Her grandfather invested in early development of solar and alternate sources of power? He groomed her mother, but while away on a business trip for the company she met and later fell in love with someone. She got pregnant and ended up marrying him. Of course her grandfather did not approve, not thinking he was worthy of his daughter and tries to manipulate the relationship in any way possible in hopes that her father will leave.
When Livia hit her teen years she had already been playing soccer for several years. Her grandfather tolerated it with the mindset that it would develop character and round out her personality having contact with those not as privileged as she.  He set up a trust fund for her after she started following her mother to work, or course not letting him know that she just wanted her mother’s approval and love.
Esper Powers
Power: Psychokinesis - Flight
Ability Description: Livia sends out pulses of telekinetic energy from her hands and feet in order to levitate herself and move in different directions once she has left the surface she was initially connecting with.
Power Level: ▉▉▉
Strength: Her powers allow her to levitate, glide and fly. Learning how to untether from the earth’s gravity and using it to launch herself off the ground. She would only be able to launch up about 10-20 feet or so in the beginning, being very unstable and sometimes not sure which direction she might be randomly thrown in. But with time the ability of being able to go in any direction and speed literally at her fingertips.
Weakness: The control scheme of her powers can be difficult to manipulate, to be able to maintain a consistent speed and direction with the level of power she has. The biggest downfall is the fact that she is afraid of heights and it makes her nauseous.

I am definitely interested in this for sure!  Would it be possible to have a character that can heal others as their Esper power... at the expense of her own health (Think of Wolverine's healing factor but used on other people instead of themselves)?  I am thinking that she could be like the "medic" on a team in this case.

Yes, that sounds fine.

[Angel Fire]

Yes, that sounds fine.

Sweet!  Let me find a face claim and go from there!

[Angel Fire]

All righty... here she is!  The medic that needs help to recover!

Full Name: Camille De Silva
Nickname(s): Cam, Cammie
Alias: N/A as of now (Would be brought up in game)
Age: 22
Esper Type: Esper
Gender: Female
Sexual Identity: Cis-Female
Sexuality: Lesbian
Relationship Status: Single at the moment
Major: Pre-Medical studies
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Hazel
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 115 lbs
Face Claim: Ella Hunt
General Description: Camille usually likes to dress in an androgynous style.  There are times that she dresses in men's clothes and other times, she can dress like the woman that she is.  It all depends on her mood that day.  She is thinking about getting some tattoos but she has yet to find the courage to get one yet.
Personality: Camille can be easily manipulated into doing things that she may not not want to do... but once she finds out those things would harm people, she instantly backs away... even if it means that she would be called a coward.  She easily trusts people but if they break her trust, she can just as easily let out a grudge towards the other people.  Long story short, don't lie to her.  She doesn't forget when people lie about their intentions.
Likes: She is at home in the outdoors.  Nature can be her calling.  She loves to go out camping in a small tent.  Her dream is to go into the outdoors with a very special someone.  She is a cuddler and she very much admits that.
Dislikes: Liars, Bullies, People that just talk and talk without letting her have her own opinion on things, Overcooked food
Psychological Quirks: Cammie is a listener first and foremost.  She wants to absorb every bit of information that she can before responding to a topic.  Sometimes, that absorption of listening can get her into trouble as she is one to speak up first if she thinks that she understands what other people are talking about.  Once she finds out that she is wrong about a topic, it will take a bit of reassuring from others to get her back on track.
Talents & Hobbies:
She can be a mean cook and has many recipes that were passed down by her Grandma if she had the motivation to make them.
She has practiced on the bass guitar enough to join a band if someone would want her to... Yes, she can keep the low end up quite well.
She can be quite athletic, especially in softball and baseball.  She was an outfielder in her youth.
She has working knowledge of Spanish and German.  Don't ask her to speak it outright as she has to remember it for a bit.
She can set up campsites with some help. (Those tents can be such a pain in the butt to set up by herself!)

Backstory: Born near Montreal, Quebec, Cam's parents moved her down to the San Francisco Bay Area when she was still a toddler.  In her younger years, she was more of a people girl but as time went on, it seemed to her that the lies that the other children gave to her set her trust level of people back.  Upon turning 18, the only relative that she could turn to was her Grandma.  Her parents didn't seem to care about her.  With their jobs in the Stock Market, it seemed to her that her parents cared more about making money than caring about her.  Finally getting out of the house, she made her way to the "Big City" of San Jose after living most of her life in many small towns in the Santa Cruz Mountains.  After leaving most of her family, she was made to live off her own devices.  For a year, she was left homeless as she found her way down to the city of Santa Cruz.  Sleeping under bridges and overpasses, she was called a "troll" in local slang but deep inside of herself, she knew that she needed help.  What kind of help can she get after leaving all that she knows behind?  Only time can tell.

Esper Powers: Healer to Others

Power: Cammie can heal other people at the expense of her own health.  The worse the wounds are... the worse off that Cammie comes out of it in the end.  In essence, she takes other people's injuries away and brings them onto herself at half the severity.  She can't heal surface wounds but she can take on the injuries that her fighting partners have at half of the severity level.  She does not know that she actually does have a healing factor on her own body yet... but that will come over time (Which is why her body takes on half of the other's injury impacts at this point in time).
Ability Description: When her powers come out, nobody around her would notice anything different unless they look very close to her.  Extending her arms towards her wounded target, the unseen waves of healing energy go towards the wounded teammate..  In return, she takes on her teammate's injuries on her own body as her glow keeps emanating from herself until those injuries are fully healed on her own body.
Power Level: ▉▉
Strength: As her powers get more under control, the less that she feels her teammate's injuries.  With her at full power, she would not feel anything from her teammate when using her powers.
Weakness: She is subject to nosebleeds, puking up blood, fatigue, drowsiness and (at worst) unconsciousness when using her powers to heal others.  The more severe the injuries are to the teammate that she heals, the more severe her own symptoms will be.

[Golden Spider]

I am going to stake my interest. also have an interesting power that excites me but I also don't know how it will start out as being able to do, or how it will "power up" to, so willing to workshop that with some people

[Miss Nyx]

Hurraaaay a new player! :D If you’re willing to share your concept I’m sure many of us would be happy to weigh in on it, alternately you could PM our GM and I’m sure he’ll walk you through it. I had some help sorting mine out!

[Golden Spider]

I don't mind posting it here

it will be kinda difficult for me as a player too because its new.

But I want to play a pair of twins who's power has manifested in a literal physic link between the two.

[Miss Nyx]

What sort of psychic link? Telepathy, or something else like remote viewing where they can see what the other twin is seeing at a distance? …Or shared ESP?

[Golden Spider]

That's what I'm not really sure about. the idea in my head is more maybe starting as a telepathy, but growing to become a sort of hive mind maybe. or shared memories/experiences Like Character A hangs with Jim the previous night and then the next morning Character B approaches Jim to continue the conversation they had last night or something.

[Miss Nyx]

I think you should be fine with this power by your definition. As per Thrones description so long as the power is classified as one ability it is permitted… and it seems you have the gist of it regarding the level of power. They’d start out as only being able to read one another’s thoughts and gradually the ability could amplify to the radius around them. Be sure to toss in weaknesses and possible ill effects of the power, for the sake of realism and to avoid omnipotence.

Keep in mind though that something like telepathically reading thoughts and being able to telepathically speak into another’s mind are two separate abilities. Likewise with telepathically exchanging information like memories… you’ll have to pick one niche and stick with it. You mighttt be able to swing two sides of one coin—one twin can do one telepathic ability and the other another? But this is just my amateur opinion. Run it by TheBlackThrone for good measure! Hope this was some help for you!

You covered everything. lol I have no comments.  :D

[Golden Spider]

I think I've come up with a different idea actually now. but thanks for your help!

[Golden Spider]

Full Name: Samantha Jeuil (pronounced Jewel)
Nickname(s): Sam, Sammy, Jewel
Alias: Phantasm
Age: 25
Esper Type: Esper
Gender: F
Sexual Identity: Female
Sexuality:  Bi
Relationship Status: Single
Major: Finance
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Blue
Height: 5'5
Weight: 132lbs
Face Claim: Emily Rudd
General Description: Sam always dresses fashionable, but not necessarily the latest and top line, She is a master at finding the perfect thrifting finds.

Personality: Upbeat and friendly. Outgoing, Charismatic
Likes: Salty Snacks, Poetry, Volleyball, Thrifting
Dislikes: Rap music, Hockey, Fad Diets, Cars
Psychological Quirks: Misophonia, triggered mainly by bodily sounds, chewing, eating, etc.
Talents & Hobbies: Thrifting, Singing, Gardening, Reading, Volleyball

Backstory: To say the SGM changed everything was a bit of a misnomer for the entire city of Santa Glevens,  but the Jeuil family was one of those that seemed most affected. By all accounts and everything they had pieced together, Samatha's older brother Jonathan, was in Lakestead Park when the meteor crashed, doing some charity work amongst the homeless that camped out amid the park. her parents were devastated. and once the dust had settled, immediately moved back to their hometown of Stillwater, Minnesota, having moved to California and Santa Glevens before Jonathan and Samantha were born. But Samantha decided to stay, not willing to just up and leave her friends and community, despite the current hard-times and the loss that she was reminded of by every building

Esper Powers

Power: Paramancy
Ability Description: In short Samantha is able to see and control spirits, ghosts, and general Paranormal entities. Including her brother Jonathan, who is an almost constant companion.
Phase 1: mostly just communicating with the dead.
Power Level: ▉
Strength: At the moment all she is able to do is see and communicate with the dead.
Weakness: Despite the Psychological implications of seeing the ghost of your dead brother. she isn't really able to control much more than that, so places that have heavy spiritual significance, such as graveyards, the SGM crash site, etc can overwhelm her with the number of spirits trying to get her attention. She also sometimes looks quite crazy as to all others she's just speaking to air.

[Shenzi]

Hi hi! I wondered if it were okay for me to leave a sheet with y'all? I wanted to at least leave some interest and a character, I love the sounds of this! Please let me know if there's a problem, I'll fix it up! Apologies in advance, I'm really bad at the formatting on E.

Bayani

Full Name: Bayani Saetiao
Nickname(s): Yani
Alias: Lotus
Age: 20
Esper Type: Esper
Gender: AFAB - Nonbinary
Sexual Identity: Nonbinary (They/Them)
Sexuality: Demisexual
Relationship Status: Single
Major: Construction/Civil Engineering (Infrastructure)
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 145 lbs
Face Claim: Darin Wilkens
General Description: Bayani is something of a stray cat- one of svelte build with graceful limbs and a slight hunch in bearing. Their face contradicts itself as both soft and angular, guarded yet inquisitive. A mixed wardrobe of both plain and eclectic fashion makes it harder to pinpoint preference, but generally speaking, Bayani prefers loose-fitting tops with shorts or snug pants. Unless in close company, they're very modest in dress and a mite stiff in posture. There is a large birthmark under their left arm, as well as scarring from a successful mastectomy some months prior. The result of a single bout of rebelliousness a year past is a small but elegant nest of cherry blossoms on the small of their back. The shy Bayani otherwise does not accessorize despite admiring piercings and the more noticeable ink on those around them.

Personality: There's always a hope that perhaps a new friend can be made, and Bayani truly does crave and enjoy company despite some uncertainty and rigidity in the early stages. They are best characterized by their excellent work ethic, independence, enigmatic demeanor, intelligence, and lack of background. Yani has gone to such great lengths to keep their past and upbringing locked up that it's almost like they didn't exist prior to leaving home four years ago. They also possess a deep and endless curiosity that screams for enrichment, and this leads Yani on everything from short nature walks nearby to simply taking random trails and bus rides miles out into the unknown. There seems to be an urgency to make up for lost time, and they're exploring and expanding their horizons as best they can.

Likes: Handicrafts, fruit-based drinks/meals, climbing, grilled fish, 3D printing, cats, open-toe shoes/flats, sleeping outdoors, rainstorms, clay and pottery, exploring scrapyards, rodents/small pets, sleeping in warm places, friendly/interesting new friends, the sounds of crickets and cicadas.
Dislikes: Red meat, emotional extremes, going hungry, pain, parsley or kale, violence, or abusive behaviors.

Psychological Quirks:

-Severe sedatephobia, the fear of silence. This primarily manifests at night and keeps them awake if not addressed. Bayani always needs company, music, a show, or a podcast running in the background in order to fall asleep. Schoolwork and social interaction during the day ease the burden considerably until nighttime.

-Some sleepwalking and nightmare troubles, they do wake up on shower floors and in empty bathtubs at times. Frequently triple checks window and door locks before bed.

-Quite proud of their body as it is now, but still very shy about themselves. Bayani still swims with a shirt on at present.


Talents & Hobbies:

Odd-jobs : Anything from mending clothes to servicing sports equipment. If the school or another person is paying, Bayani has no questions.
Small-scale Construction : Has built a number of sheds, coops, wooden fences etc on their own over the years. Participates in similar projects on campus.
Problem-solving : Math, word games, mazes, architectural debates, they adore the process of troubleshooting and fixing/solving things.
Reading : Absolutely anything they can get their hands on, from manga and high fantasy series to obscure autobiographies and poetry collections.
Mental Mapping : Bayani gets around with ease, and remembers vividly the things they've seen, read, or done. This includes locations, as well.

Backstory: Bayani became an emancipated minor at the age of 16, putting high school on pause for about six months as they resituated themselves. For the remainder of their time in high school, they'd picked up something not unlike a civil apprenticeship for evenings and weekends. As per their mathematical prowess and growing expertise in modeling and sculpting structures in several mediums, Bayani was later set to attend SGU for construction and civil engineering for free. After tons of correspondence with schools in California, they'd finally be nearly a world away from New York. They most definitely do not miss the east coast, nor have they regretted leaving Queens for Santa Glevens.

Esper Powers

Power: Chlorokinesis
Ability Description: The manipulation of the nutrient levels and minor movements of plants.

Power Level: ▉

• Strength: Affects the nutrient deposits already present within plants, as well as some control of movement in plant appendages, like roots, vines, and branches. At PL 1, Bayani is limited to things like flowers, weeds, vines, or potted plants and saplings. Small fruits like berries and things like nuts can be accelerated at this stage. Plants are simply being directed as to where to reallocate nutrients or which limited movements to make where instructed.
  
  Weakness: More complex plant life, like large trees and clusters of plants like moss or algae, are far harder to manipulate regardless of power level. Taking on too large a task or too many at once will likely result in dizziness, fatigue, longstanding migraines, or even fainting in some cases. One or a few at a time are the safer but more time-consuming option.
  
  Only the nutrients already present can be manipulated, meaning a plant that's already dead or no longer has any nutrients remaining can neither be saved nor receive instruction. Exhausting the nutrients in a plant to create, say, a sudden overabundance of fruit in one shot, may well kill the plant in the long run and also serve to overexert Bayani. Moderation and precision will be key. Naturally, Bayani is limited to the plants at hand or nearby and cannot use a plant's resources to change its species. Those that do not flower never will, and the blossoms of an apple tree will never yield lemons.

[TheBlackThrone]

I've sent both of you PMs.

[TheBlackThrone]

@Shenzi: Your CS is approved.

[Angel Fire]

Hiyas everyone!  In my adventures in this wonderful site, I have found that a LOT of the BIG group games have used Discord as a way to plot and talk with all of of the  members of a group.  What I would like to do, with our boss's permission, is to create a Discord server so that all of us Espers (and Abusers) can talk freely and feel like we are not left out.

With permission from our boss, I would love to create the Discord channel but before I do anything,  I want to hear from y'all!  Do y'all think that an Esper Discord channel would help us get together?  Or would you all want to stay with the E Pm system?

I want to hear from everyone here before I decide.  Discord or the E PM system?  Please let me know what y'all think! 

Thankies!

[TheBlackThrone]

This is quoted from the rules of this RP:

1. OOC. There will not be a discord for this RP. Writers are to communicate using the provided OOC or PMs. If you wish to give your discord handle to a writer and choose to communicate in discord, then that is entirely up to you. If there is drama in the discord, then I expect you to know how to report it to the moderation staff.

You are free to make a discord, but it won't be for this game. I strictly said there will not be a discord for this RP because I will not be responsible for any drama that happens in there outside of E. So, if you make one, then only you are taking responsibility for any drama that happens and neither me nor my game will be responsible or at fault.

[Angel Fire]

Understood, boss.  Just offering that option there.
