AdrianZef

Character name/mutant name: Adrian Kalwat / Mirage
Age: 22
Hero or villain: Currently neither, though given his rough upbringing he is rather selfish.
Current Powers: Can sense motion and solid objects around him without looking, even through solid walls. This includes people and animals as well, though he couldn't distinguish between a walking mannequin and a walking person.
Potential Powers: Can move through solid objects (alternatively can allow solid objects to pass through his body). Can make parts of his body look like different materials, almost like a chameleon. Typically the two abilities activate together.
Background: Adrian grew up an orphan, on the streets, and had a rough childhood. He had always had to fight for everything as part of life on the streets, and he did whatever he needed to keep himself moving upwards in the world. He's not a bad person, per-se, but he is rather selfish, mostly because for all of his life that was the only way to survive.

Currently he's part of a small gang... though gang isn't even really the right word for the group of young punks he was associated with. They made their money however they could. Some muggings and thefts, nothing anymore insidious than that, though. It was around this time that his ability to sense objects started to manifest. As you can imagine, this greatly helped with his thefts, as he could now sense lone people wandering alleys, cops, and much more. He never told anyone else about this, though, and he could hardly understand what was actually going on. Still, he somehow managed to use his powers enough to keep his status, but not quite enough to draw suspicion from anyone.

He was in one such alley one night, asking a young woman for all of her money, when something changed.
Don't know if you want to roleplay with me? The answer is yes, you do. But fine, I guess I'll give you one of these: Ons and Offs, as well as a Wishlist.

There it is! I changed to his powers slightly to overlap with Elsa less.

Nice, ok I'll have an IC and OOC in the morning.

Please respect other players/ characters limits.

I'll be putting this in extreme so we cover all bases.

Can't wait to start!

Thought I'd toss my knickers in, just in case there's still room:



Character Name/Mutant Name:  Kiera Anders/Slamdance
Age: 29
Hero/Villain: Tends towards the law-and-order side of things, but in a pretty heavy-handed way
Powers: No pain sense, extremely rapid healing.
Other skills: Multiple Martial Arts training.


Background:  No metal claws, no super reflexes. She can't fly, or walk through walls, or see through peoples' clothes.

Kiera just can't be hurt.

Well, OK, that's an exaggeration. Kiera doesn't feel it when she gets hurt- she has no pain sense whatsoever. It was first noticed when she was a little girl and, as most kids try to do, put her hand in the pretty blue flame from the stove.  She didn't cry. Not at all.

Notice the scars she doesn't have on that hand?  That's the other part of the trick. She heals insanely fast. Oh, not instantly, but fast enough to watch. Years of typical childhood and young-adult accidents have left her with unblemished skin, perfect teeth, and one of the most beautiful skeletons an internist has ever seen. She can even, starfish-like, regrow at least bits of limbs that get lost, though that takes a while longer.  She found that out the hard way, when a mugger with a knife took off a bit of two of her fingertips. Enough damage all at once would probably kill her, but so far, no one's managed to do the job fast enough. Her hair needs cutting about once a week, to keep her from tripping on it; her nails, every day. Piercings close up unless always filled, and her skin pushes tat ink out nearly as fast as it can be jabbed in- which sucks, since she loves epic skin art.

With that kind of leg up, she did what any sensible girl would do, and went into the ass-kicking business. Trained in Aikido, Judo, and Muay Thai, Kiera works as a bouncer for a couple of clubs known to get rowdy- hence her nickname- and hires out as a bodyguard for travelling celebrities on the side.  While she doesn't wear a t-shirt screaming 'mutie and proud', she doesn't hide it, either. Kind of hard to hide when a drunk busts a beer stein over your head, and the cuts close up in under a minute.

The cops and the gangs both aren't fond of her, since she's not shy about breaking bones on the job, and attempts by less civil-society-minded elements to cause trouble around  her clubs or for her clients have usually resulted in multiple-ambulance calls. She parties hard when she's off duty, frequently at the very same clubs she works for. For all that, she's a pretty straight arrow- she just has an, ah, shall we say, very direct method of dealing with annoyances?  And she's easily annoyed.

Kiera currently shares a 2-bedroom flat in a decent part of town with Bella- but has no idea what her roommate does on the side.  They're pretty friendly, party together from time to time, have even been known to double-date with their respective flavors of the day- and trade off partners, once in a while. So far, though, their professional paths have not crossed.
Instead of obsessing on the person you want to be, focus on who you DON'T want to be. It's much easier to not do certain things than to break your head on some ideal of yourself.

When the dust settles, you may find out you've become who you were supposed to be all along.

I realize that you have already started now, but am wondering and hoping that you have room for one more.

Barbarian

It has just started, no big event happened for now. Contact lovelygirl and come along.  :-)

Elf

Thank you, Barbarian. I thought I did by posting here. I do have an idea for a character, but am waiting to see if she wants another player before completely fleshing him out.

Anyone interested in an affiliation with Elsa?

I'm creating a character that will be more heroic minded and could use a tutor/mentor so an affiliation with Elsa would be good.

That is fine. Someone she has already recruited?
"I don't have a dirty mind, I have a sexy imagination."
My ons and offs- My F-list

Elf

Yes, someone she has already recruited.

Character name/mutant name: Ivan Storkov/Stripe
Hero or villain: Heroish
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Orientation: Heterosexual (he thinks, but not entirely sure)
Powers:
Ivan was born with Tiger DNA mixed with his human DNA as such he has senses and physical abilities like a feline. He can shape change into a full tiger or anthro (tiger like humanoid). In full human form he back with some effort lift close to a ton, in anthro form it goes up to closer to two tons. He is even stronger in full tiger form but lacks hands and the ability to stand upright for very long. In any form he can hear things at greater distances than humans as well frequencies both above and below the human norm. His eyes always have slitted pupils that he can control so has cat like low light vision as well as being able to see into the infrared and ultraviolet spectrum of light. He can make minor changes like making his eyes fully cat eyes with no whites or changing his nails into claws. Something about his shape change ability also increases his body's ability to heal. What would normally take days only take him hours, so two weeks would only take 14 hours. Changing forms has a virtually instant healing affect, as he is changing to an uninjured form, even replacing severed limps. He has learned to track people and animals by their individual scents.
Anthro
Tiger

Background:
Ivan was born in New York to Russian immigrants as such he speaks both English and Russian. As a child he was always stronger and faster than the other children, which quite often got him in trouble and other children accidentally hurt as he did understand that he was different. He could smell, hear, and see things that none of the others could and thought he must be crazy, until he saw a hot spot in a wall and pointed it out thus preventing an electrical fire from getting out of control. Other than that he had a fairly normal childhood. Until shortly after his 14th birthday and as teenagers do had an argument with his parents. When he got enraged he suddenly changed into an adolescent white tiger and killed his parents.

After killing his parents he ran went to living on his own. For some time he lived in the forests of northern New York state hunting as a tiger. As he gained more control of the change and his emotions he moved back into the city. He moved into the tunnels under the city but ventured top side frequently and quietly slipped back into schools to get a better education. He did everything he could to just blend in with other students and not draw attention to himself. Not having a proper address he never properly enrolled. Of course problems came up and after people got hurt or just started to take more notice of him he would simply disappear and start over at a new school.

After successfully completing high school (no graduation due to not being enrolled) Elsa found him. Through her empathic abilities and her group he has learned to control his emotions even more and control over his shifting. It was through her and that training that he learned to partially change. He has also learned techniques to keep from losing control of his anger and changing by accident as happened with his parents.

On's & Off's: See players preferences, but consider them mostly unexplored as he lacks experience.

Elf, approved!

Nice to see he'll be working with Elsa.

I'm looking forward to Bella and Kiera's reaction to seeing who each other really is, lol. And them having to work together.
You took my sadness out of context
At the Mariner's apartment complex
I ain't no candle in the wind
I'm the bolt, the lightning, the thunder
Kind of girl who's gonna make you wonder
Who you are and who you been.

lovelygirl

So I seem to have lost a few players and need at least two villain mutants. We haven't gotten so far into this that you can't jump in. As a matter of fact, the two good guys are just venturing out and are vulnerable. So if you have an idea for a villain, post it here for approval or PM me. Thanks.

Hmm... I could possibly give this a go. I will post this to keep an eye on the thread, and maybe create a character when I have more time, maybe in a day or so. I would play as a Knight Templar sort of villain, who is not evil, but is definitely antagonistic.

Name- Bennet Straken


Age 21


Appearance-Stands six foot even and he is trim but built solid.  He has learned to be hyper sensitive to his surroundings as a matter of self preservation.


He was raised by Jack Straken who had inherited lots of money from his father in a business that was never clear to Bennet.  In any case when his father was not cutting ribbons to various civic centers he donated money to, he was home beatting his only son.  His addiction to various precription drugs was what really fueled his anger.


His mother Janice Stricken is someone Jack has to keep out an eye for.  She is always in a state of intoxication and if seen in public she would be a complete embarrassment to Jack and his public image.  Not only did she share addictions with her husband but basically the two played tag team while beating him.  Trips to doctors never raised flags as he was so well known and admired.  Not only that but he had far reach and to get on his bad side was never a good idea.


Abilities- Always hyper vigilant and ready to fight if necessary.  His vigilance let to a stay in a mental institution when he was 15.  By then he had been on the streets for a year preferring the uncertain dangers of the street to the certain beatings at home or the rules of any sort of home.


He is rebellious against any authority figures and after his mental breakdown he was released free of his flashbacks and anxiety.  In fact he was able to become extremely confident but always cautious.  Due to the experiments on him which is how he received free medical care he somehow emerged with the power to basically put thoughts in the minds of people and they almost always respond by doing what he says no matter how embarrassing or dangerous.  A very comforting defense for him to have.  Although he is well able to handle himself in any streetlight.
