good questions!
When I said several that was sort of a rough estimate rather than meaning exactly seven. I guess it''s first come first serve, I'm not going to wait for a bunch of CS'es to come in and then only take the seven "best" or anything like that. Obviously there's a base level of quality I need to see and any balance issues need to be resolved. If we reach a healthy number of players then I'll probably implement a waiting list and wait until we are running smoothly and at that later point we can look at integrating more players.
Mmm so the prison itself is quite specific, it's specialized around young offenders with dangerous quirks. It's not a full blown maximum security prison as such but it is quite strict by necessity and it can't really offer all the small programs and opportunities a more conventional juvenile facility might be able to. These sorts of facilites are very expensive to run, they require either very advanced technology or targeted recruitment of employees with relevant quirks so they're relatively rare. Most other facilities of the type are focused around full blown, adult villains so facilities like these are forced to take in even quite young inmates at times because there's simply not an alternative that would be considered secure.
In a sense this situation is driven by politics more than an honest assessment of how dangerous the inmates are, there's a lot of anxiety around quirk related crime and a lot of pressure from the public to come down hard on offenders and keep them imprisoned securely.
I didn't specify because I hadn't entirely settled on the location except that I would prefer not to set us in Japan. I want us to have lots of room to be creative and do our own thing without worrying about canon too much. I was leaning towards America because their prison system has some interesting tensions I think. But we can talk about it here if people have other suggestions.
Yes absolutely. Coming up with new ways to harness ones quirk or use it it in different ways should be a part of everyone's development but its also fine to have a character focus primarily on that as a means of improvement.
In terms of stats, you would represent that sort of thing with finesse, so when everyone gets the chance to improve their stats that's what you could focus on.

In that case, I'll have to withdraw my interest. I tend to take my time with my characters (though not necessaily at turtle speed), and considering how four spots are already filled (assuming that you're counting yourself), I doubt I'll finish in time. ^ ^;;

Oh are you sure? We can be a bit flexible as to the exact number of players and the start date, anyone with a WiP app would have some time to finish after we closed to fully new players.
Alternatively I can send you a pm in advance of when we open things up again and you make a character with plenty of time then. Up to you.
So onto characters-

I don't think there are any major issues here either, the only thing to think about is that with a power level of only 2, those shock waves are going to be pretty weak. You can always improve his power over the course of the RP, but perhaps you might want to bump it a bit to begin with. I mentioned this when I was chatting with overconfident magi but a power of two is not that hard to achieve even without using one's quirk.

Still working on my app, might be a day or two before I can finish it. That alright or should I try and squeeze it in today?

I noticed what you were talking about. Although I bumped it to a 3, I think I'll wait until we start to raise it above as I can't change it without changing the scores I felt I couldn't change.

Okay! let's see

Overall I like the quirk, I just need you to specify in the CS that it allows May to raise her temperature more quickly than normal and makes her resistant to heat. I'd also like a rough idea of how quickly she can raise it.
And just on her stats, you don't need the min max thing, her stats are sort of a measurement of overall capability so they already take into consideration variations in when the quirk is being used and not being used.
I also have a question about her bio, this isn't super important since it's not a balance issue or anything else. I just wonder about why her relationship with her friend changed so suddenly. her bio doesn't really explain it so it seems sort of random or out of left field at least.
Good CS overall though.
InternalAssumpter
pretty good overall, I do have a couple of questions about her quirk.
What happens to lava that splits off from her body? is it still under her control? if she loses a lot is that reflected someway in her normal body. Can she generate more lave and if so there needs to be some kind of limitation on that.
I also thought her stat allocation was a little strange. 9 in agility is very high for someone who's quirk doesn't directly affect. I would sort of expect her endurance to be higher, considering she's very difficult to damage while its active.

@Atlannian Spy
Well, I'll change the stats if you want.
As for the questions.
I imagine she can turn parts of her body into lava as in... let's say she turn her hand into lava, her hand will be lava but it's still shaped like her hand. Like there's an invisible barrier or something like that. Even if she were to spill some in some way, it'll no longer be in control and will just be there to rot or in other words, harden.
Unless she turns her whole body into lava. She still has her human shape but since she's basically goo, people could cut her in half. She won't feel pain other than a feeling extremely uncomfortable. She'd need to reconnect to the other half fast. If she doesn't, she'd turn back to her human form in that half body state. I imagine she'd be able to grow the other half back with time and fuel [like wood and burnable things in general]. I also imagine all wounds she gets during her lava state [if she gets any anyways] won't affect her actual body the way it would if her actual body was the one to take damage. And no, I don't think she can generate more lava.
I'm sorry the explanation is a bit confusing. Is it too overpowering? If so, I can change some things.

no that sounds fine the way you're describing it. If you just wanna make a note of that stuff on the CS then we're good.

Hey good to see you! I don't see any issues with the CS so welcome aboard.
Everyone
I think I wanna get things rolling by the end of this week at the very latest, preferably earlier. So if anyone's still thinking about whether to join up or still quietly working on a character now would be a great time to get that sorted or at least touch base with me and let me know where you're at.

Since our characters have been at Fort Alder for a while, anyone want to establish Pre-RP relationships?

I might, going to dinner with the fam so I won't be able to post for a bit. Probably won't be back till around 10 EST so throw something out there and I'll look at it when i get home.

I may be alright with doing relationship things, but I just need to clear something up with Atlannian when I get home from work.

Won't be able to post for a few hours myself (doing this post on my phone) but I'd be more than happy to establish some pre-RP relationships. Feel free to PM me if needed.
