18


Male


One power he has is control over nature, when he walks barefoot grass would sometimes grown under his feet maybe even plants. He was never able to control that. Riley can also hear peoples thoughts (hope that's ok), when he's in a crowded loud room however the thoughts get jumbled with what people are actually saying making the room and atmosphere ten times louder.


His dad thinks that the fact his son has powers is awesome, like nothing he's seen before. But his mom on the other hand has always resented him, all she wanted was a normal son and favors his younger brother. His dad works so usually he's home alone with his brother and mom. He has a good relationship with him, but his mother would sometimes forbid him from ever seeing his brother. 90% of his time is spent out of the house or in his room. He just wants his mom to think of him as his son, instead of something strange

 

[cojemo]

Name: Jayce Ferris


Age: 17


Gender: Male


Power(s) Maximum of 3: Jayce can manipulate electricity, teleport, and create an illusive appearance. Creating an illusive appearance entails him creating an illusion, making him look, feel, and sound like another person. This isn't shape shifting, though, as it is only an illusion, and therefore doesn't enhance anything. For teleportation, he has a max range of 30 feet before he needs to reappear, then teleport again.


Personality: Jayce can be very robotic most of the time, not showing any hint of emotion or human care. He also jokes around from time to time and tends to take things less seriously than he should, being very sarcastic and rude. However, when needed to, he can be very serious and pick apart a situation at its core and figure out the most efficient solution. This is because he looks at most things logically, and finds illogical thinking and emotions ridiculous. This leads to him having a natural dislike to people who are overly happy and kind. Sometimes he will get into debates about random topics just for the fun of it. He has a very self-preservative mentality and will often look out for himself and manipulate others for his own gain. That's not to say he is a bad person necessarily. He has a strong sense of justice, and will usually step up if he feels that something isn't just, though only if no one is around, as he likes to keep up his image. This means that though he may seem like the type, he does not harass or bully people often, and usually keeps his teasing to a healthy level.


History: At a young age, Jayce was a very naive and trusting kid, believing almost anything he heard and always being caring and compassionate. Whenever he could he would always try to help out others and make everyone smile. This led him to being used by the people he once called friends, leaving him all by himself. He wasn't prepared for this situation, thus causing him to isolate himself for a short time. Dissapointed in his own nature, he made a drastic change in his personality, removing his once kind self and replacing it with a more calculated, logical one. He was no longer manipulated, and found himself doing what was once done to him. A few months after his change, he started showing some Strange abilities, such as accidentally frying out school computers and having someone else's face randomly instead of his. The government took him away, experimenting on him and forcing the full potential of his powers out of him.

[CorporalLokdon]

Name: Lauf Samir


Age: 18


Gender: Male


Power(s) Maximum of 3: Telekenesis. He can move practically everything as he has been practicing his entire life. He has to be able to visualize the object and then he can move it; it doesn't have to be in the same room as him. With telekenesis he can light tiny small fires but only enough to light the wick of a candle. Fire is not his strength he actually really sucks at it. There is also the posibility of him creating a psi ball but once again he sucks at this to so he doesn't do it often, he sticks with moving things because he is GREAT at that.


Appearance: (Picture are very very bottom) Lauf has dark hair that usually looks as if he had attempted to slick it back but it just refused to do it. He has thick eyebrows that line his dark eyes perfectly, they aren't one eye brow they are definitely two. There is quite a large, straight nose above his dark, kept, mustache. He has thin lips and a thin beard that goes from both ears to his chin and a bit down his neck. Lauf stands with his head held high on his broad shoulders. He has long arms with large, calloused hands and thick fingers. He's strangely thin in the everything from his arms to his legs and waist. (except his fingers...) His legs are also very long and he had knoby knees and even knobier ankles. Usually Lauf's large feet are concealed in black, shiney dress shoes. He wears a black suit jacket with a white and grey plaid shirt under it. Covering his knoby knees Lauf likes to have black slacks or like blue, blue jeans. Normally the slacks though because it makes him seem more professional.


Personality: Lauf Samir is not a very nice person. At all. He lacks empathy or sympathy for others emotions along with lacking remorse or guilt. He generally has a bad temper and is easily aggressive in the face of criticism. More than anything he loves praise. With high levels of deception, manipulativeness, and craftiness, Lauf is highly impulsive. He will go to any extent to get what he wants from people. His observations skills prove amazingly helpful when he has to read people. Of course in order to perform telekinesis the man has to be very aware of his surroundings. Lauf is very distractable though. He is aware of his surroundings, yes, but if he notices something more interesting, dangerous, or just different than what he is supposed to be concentrating on then he gets distracted. He does however have GREAT manners, he holds doors for people, smiles as he passes strangers in the street, helps old ladies with gorceries, but this is only a mask to hide his true evil personality. Most of his collegues know this though and don't like him for it. They know his true nature and would never trust him... most of them anyways. Lauf has a way of convincing certain types of people to do his bidding and planning. Knowing how to scare you or lure you in he can press the correct buttons to make you do whatever he wants. That is his manipulativeness for you. He does have soft spots for certain things though and someone would have to work really hard to find out what it was. It's not puppies or his parents or siblings or family of anykind. He doesn't have friends and his 'minion' type people are replaceable. (I'm not going to tell you what it is. You'll have to RP with me to find out. Also sorry if I repeated stuff...)


History: Lauf was born in a very rich, very powerful family. Not powerful though as in magical, powerful as in having heavy influence on people everyone they went. He was a spoiled brat before he even discovered that he had special abilities. He bullied less wealthy kids and the other wealthy kids didn't like him because he thought he could get away with everything and he could. He would steal peoples toys, kick sand in their faces, and it would all go away because his father was the most powerful of all of the children's fathers. Me. Samir could make anything go away. Even people.


All kids go through their angsty phase right? When they get into all of that screamo rock and get their piercings and go partying even when their parents forbid them to. Well this phase for Lauf was his weirdo phase. He became interested in 'dark arts' and cerimonial sacrifices to the devil himself. This was when he discovered that he could move things with his mind. His father had punished him for something and he got so angry that a book flew off a table. Mr. Samir of course explained to Lauf that it was gravity no this mind. Lauf, however, didn't buy it. He continued to practice and he got very good very quickly. He was about ten at this time.


Three years later when the boy was thirteen something happened that he'd never imagined happening before. His father was going to send him off to a boarding school! Lauf knew that he was going to be miserable there. Even more miserable than he already was at home. He was getting more irritable by the hour and one night he snapped. His puppy wouldn't quit barking outside his bedroom door even though everyone in the house yelled at it. So young Lauf took the matters into his own hands and stranggled the poor thing while it was on the other side of his door and he was laying peacefully in his bed. This terrified his parents even more than anything that he'd done before. They were arguing whether to send him earlier or keep him at home.


One morning only about two weeks after he killed the puppy Lauf went down stairs for breakfast and his parents were arguing quite loudly about their son's living conditions. He begged and pleaded for them to stop fighting but they didn't. They only shooed him away and kept going at it. Something crashed as he waited in the family room and his mother shouted. She had thrown a plate into a wall, nothing too bad right? Well Lauf thought not and he lost it again. Stabbing both of his parents with kitchen knives with his 'powers' that he had been developing over the past three years he was laughing and crying at the same time. His nanny had watched the entire thing and so for the next four years she took care of him around the mansion. No on wanted him. No one would take care of him. If he was sent somewhere to live, the family would pack up and leave HIM at THEIR house in the middle of the night. THey were terrified. So the law just let him stay in the house he murdered his parents in and he was taken care of by his terrified nanny.


When he turned 17 Lauf left the mansion at the relif of the old nanny and went o live on his own. He quicky built a network of people who would do anything for him out of fear for their lives. This network wasn't large though so only among small groups of people was he known as a terrifying murderer. At work people just didn't like him because he was an asshole who would do anything to get his way.


Other: A scar below his right eye where someone tried to gouge his eye out, tooth mark scars on his neck where a large dog tried to tear his throat out as a child (he provoked it) and burn scars on his lips from kissing a woman who had poisoned herself to get back at him for some wrong that he had done her. So yeah he's kinda messed up but I can change that for you if you need me to.

Well crap... my picture doens't work... here's the link to it then.

@JJennibee @cojemo @TheNaziNinja


Okay folks, this is it. Before I tell you who I am accepting, I must go on a long rant.


I absolutely HATE choosing who to accept in a 1x1. Not only is it time consuming, stressful, and tiring, I feel like people will think that I have something against them personally. So please know now, I have absolutely nothing against you guys.


Do you have ANY idea how long I took reading and re-reading these?!? It was a "okay, let's see who put the password", and then "who has the most elaborate personality and history", and then "who would Nichole absolutely hate"?


Now announcing the winner of this contest....





COJEMO!!!





A special thank you to Jenny and Ninja for taking the time and effort to make their characters and support this RP.

 

[CorporalLokdon]

I forgot the password! Dang... I even read it and had it in the original on microsoft word! Oh well now I have a new character to use for other RPs. xD Maybe some other time! Also you're welcome!

 

[Htiaf]

Ok Cojemo, let's start.

 

[cojemo]

Ok, I'm ready now. You want to start us off?

 

[Htiaf]

Yeah.


Nichole yawned, stretching her arms and legs out. Then she curled back up and closed her eyes, burying her face into the soft pillow.


After another five minutes, her caretaker got impatient and rolled her out of bed.


Growling slightly, she tossed on a jacket over her tank top and stalked her way to the kitchen, where she sat grumpily on a bench, glaring at anyone who dared to talk to her.


It was well known that you do not interact with Nichole in the morning.

 

[cojemo]

Cracking his eyes open slightly, Jayce slowly started to make his way out of his bed, kicking his sheets to the side and leaving where he once slept a mess. He was always more of a night person, and found he could stay up much later than he could wake up. Dragging out time until he was fully awake, he slowly got dressed in a shirt and jeans. Shaking his head violently and giving himself a slap, he mad his way over to the kitchen so he could get some food inside of his still half awake body.


Now, even though he wasn't fully awake, you wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at him, as he held himself high with eyes that were clear. If you could say one thing about him in the mornings is that he seemed completely normal until you talked to him, showing he could barely put together thoughts. As he entered, he noticed a few other people already there, though who his mind couldn't exactly put together at the moment. For the time being, he randomly plopped himself down on a seat beside a some person he couldn't identify with his foggy head, though judging by hair being long he assumed it was a female. He didn't quite care, as there were only a few people in this place he would not want to sit by. Hanging his head low, he waited for his mind to clear up.

 

[Htiaf]

Nichole froze when that boy sat down next to her. Through gritted teeth, she muttered, "look buddy, I'm not in the mood for a fight right now."

 

[cojemo]

Shaking his head a bit more, his head began to clear, and as he turned to see who had spoken to him, he cursed his luck under his breath. Deciding to stand his ground to avoid looking like he made a mistake, he let out a sigh. "Well, if that's the case, then move along, as I'm not moving an inch."

 

[Htiaf]

Nichole raised an eyebrow. "I was here first. And I'm waiting for my food. I just gave the order."

 

[cojemo]

Jayce knew that what she said made sense, but he was too stubborn to just give up. "Well, if you aren't moving then you'll just have to deal with it. Shouldn't be too hard to do that, even for the simplest of people."

 

[Htiaf]

Nichole somehow raised her eyebrow higher, and leaned back with a smirk on her face. "That's why I don't think you'll have any problem with me being here either."


She kept her hands under the table, and they were rapidly warming up as she grew more annoyed with Jayce.

 

[cojemo]

He clenched his fists on his lap in annoyance. Should of seen that comeback coming. "You know what? I think it would be best if I just left you with yourself." Pretending to stand up, he let a smirk cross his face as he made one of his illusions, making himself look and sound like Nichole. "That better for you?" He kept his grin on as he sat back down.

 

[Htiaf]

Nichole smiled. "Way better. Now I can actually look at a pretty face for once."


She chuckled and leaned back even further, holding herself stable by the pole under the table. But as soon as she felt the metal easily bend beneath her fingers, she quickly let go of the red hot metal.

 

[cojemo]

Stop being so happy already! Keeping his thoughts to himself, he felt around the face and form of his changed body. "You know what? I think that I messed up my illusion." Pretending to wipe sweat from his forehead, he slipped off the jacket that he had and grabbed hold of the bottom of the tank top, still in Nichole's form. "It's getting quite hot in here. You don't mind if I take this off, do you? I'm sure the rest of the people here won't mind."

 

[Htiaf]

Nichole was speechless for once. He had done many things like this, but this was the worst.


She suddenly had her face in his- which was very strange, because it was like looking in a mirror- and snarled. "If you dare, I will pound you into a pulp, which I will then eat."


As she said this, sharp fangs began to grow in her mouth, and her eyes grew slightly more slanted.

 

[cojemo]

Jayce smirked as she showed signs of being irritated. Took a bit of prodding, but it worked. Releasing his grip on the top, he leaned like Nichole was moments ago, even copying her smile. "Two things. One. An easy solution is for you to just move, just like I've been saying, as you obviously can't even have a simple conversation with yourself. Two." Holding out his fingers, he grinned. "In order to 'pound me into a pulp', that would mean you would need to catch me first, which we both know..." Pausing, he teleported himself a couple inches off the bench, landing back onto it. "Isn't going to happen."

 

[Htiaf]

That's about when Nichole lost it. Morphing into a full sized lioness took less than two seconds, and before he could react, Nichole had Jayce on the ground, her front paws pinning his shoulders to the ground. Her lion face seemed to have a smug smile on it as she morphed back.


First her ears retracted, and then her limbs shrunk and straightened out. Quickly, she reverted back to her original state. Around them, a crowd had gathered, only to witness Nichole, her hands next to his head, knees on either side of his hips, and him laying on the ground.


Nobody spoke for a moment, until one person cat whistled and began to laugh. Turning a bright pink, she quickly scrambled off of him. "No, it wasn't like that!"


She glared back at Jayce and sat back down at her table. She picked up her fork and stuffed eggs in her mouth, muttering angrily.

 

[cojemo]

The second Nichole had knocked him to the ground, his illusion broke, putting him back to his original form. He was never very good at keeping it in tact after a shock. Jayce grimaced looking up at the lion that had pinned him. Darn it! Am I really not fast enough? His face had an expression of frustration as she morphed back into her normal form. As a crowd formed around them and he heard a whistle, he examined the position he was in, cheeks turning red. Brushing himself off as he got back up, he didn't say a word. Instead, he walked over to the kid who had started it, placed his hand on his shoulder, and teleported the kid upside down, dropping him on his head. It wasn't enough to cause serious damage, but that kid definitely was going to have a headache the rest of the day.


Face still red, contorted in frustration, he grabbed his food and teleported to a seat as far away from Nichole as possible. Looking at her with dagger-like eyes from across the room, he turned his attention to his plate, shoving a handful of bacon into his mouth.

 

[Htiaf]

Nichole rolled her eyes and finished her eggs, and then stood up.


She walked towards the door, only to be stopped by a hoard of children running in.


She struggled to get through the crowd, and reached out to touch the door... When suddenly the doors slammed shut. She jumped back, startled, and a loud voice boomed over the loud speakers.


"Uniques! We have decided to to create a new program. We are calling it... Teamwork and Friendship!"


Several kids snickered at this, but the voice continued.


"So here is how this is going to work. We hope to teach you to get along with others, and so we will be examining you throughout this week, and see who you don't get along with. You will each be assigned a caretaker, and they will examine you throughout this week. Good luck!"


And with that, the cheery voice stopped, and the whole room was silent.


For about 3 seconds, and then all of the students burst into loud shouts and screams of anger.


All the blood drained out of her face, and she spun around to look at Jayce, eyes wide.

 

[cojemo]

Jayce was just about finished his food when he heard the loud speakers crackle, a voice being transmitted through it. He absentmindedly listened as he shoveled the last of his bacon into his mouth. Teamwork and friendship? What kind of stupid thing is that?


As he pushed his plate to the side and stood up, ready to leave, he immediately froze as heard the program detailed. What exactly was the plan if they find out you don't get along with someone? Were they going to make you get along somehow? His thoughts immediately went to the confrontation he had with Nichole a few minutes earlier, causing his eyes to shoot open. Turning to look at Nichole, a worried expression on his face, he could tell that she had the same thought as he did.


What was he going to do? There was no way that something like their previous scuffle would be considered 'getting along'.Scanning the room, he noticed a corner away from the crowd that had rushed in. Jayce, still looking at Nichole, nodded in the direction of the spot and headed there himself, indicating she should follow.

 

[Htiaf]

Nichole snorted and blew a strand of hair out of her face, but followed him.


She walked up to him. "We have a problem."
