@HimeragiSeiker[/URL] talked about it)!
A bullet is affected by the velocity of which it was fired, but also gravity, etc. We all know that energy is not constant, and thus conserved (but momentum can beIN SPACEEEEE). And a bullet's momentum isn't constant either. Whilst the effects of gravity may not seem very severe at first. Gradually, as the energy of the bullet's velocity begins to fade under the air's resistance, the effects of gravity will become more and more noticeable. Therefor only three real factors are involved in the act of firing a gun - energy (momentum), gravity, and finally air resistance.
(It can all be very easily explained with the Law of Conservation of Energy, aka the first law of thermodynamics. It states that energy within a closed system must remain constant- that it can neither decrease or increase without influence by foreign forces. Imagine the energy; and thus momentum of the bullet as an enclosed system. It would go on forever. But it isn't, it's influenced by foreign powers such as gravity and wind resistance)
So, to simplify. You fire a gun. It's affected by the energy of the weapon (I could go further in-depth, but it's redundant for this). The energy propels it forwards through momentum, but the energy is gradually lost as the bullet is subject to air resistance. Due to the breaking effect of this resistance, as time passes the bullet will be pulled harder and harder to the ground much like any thrown object, merely with a wider and far more extended arc. Why is this? Because gravity is constant. A feather and a baseball fall at the same speed, after all.
(Roughly drawn explanation)
Ah, that was fun! But with that done and over with, I'll go ahead and try myself at writing up a character sheet!!![/justify][/centerblock]
Also, as the bullet travels further from its origin, something known as the Coriolis Effect comes into play. The rotation of the earth affects a bullet in flight. That’s because of the Coriolis effect; any object moving horizontally on or near the earth’s surface is deflected slightly off course due to the spinning of the planet beneath it. The Coriolis effect has a big effect on phenomena like hurricanes and other weather systems, and a small effect on small objects. But if the small object is a precisely aimed rifle bullet, and that bullet travels far enough, it’s not something you can completely ignore.HimeragiSeiker said:

Powers/gifts:
Bio-Steel Mechanical Morphic Body
The body is made of a light, but incredibly strong "bio-steel" allow that can repair itself over time.
Each clone, as of 32 months prior, has the ability to morph their physical structure to adapt to most scenarios. These morphs include, but are not limited to; weapons, armor, tools, transportation, etc.
Clone
A second, back up clone has been created on the off chance that the main AI is destroyed. Any time the main bot is updated, the back up is as well.
Anti-EMP Insulated Skin
The skin coating the bio-steel structure is specially insulated to protect the computer systems inside the body from EMPs and high voltage.
Adaptive Information Backup
Every new piece of information learned by the program is backed up onto a server hosted in the lab. Additionally, any time a clone enters the charging port, his entire program, including anything new learned, is backed up onto the server, in case the clone is destroyed, so that the "memories" can be transferred to the back up clone.
High-Capacity Information Database, AKA; WEB
Access to a vast wealth of information gathered from hundreds of thousands of servers around the world.
Hyper-Processing
The ability to process millions of pieces of information per second, as per a super-computer. This allows for quicker responses situations, as well as probability prediction.

However, Theta AI is generally kind, if blunt, and relies more on facts than people's opinions or feelings. He does understand when people are upset, and often seeks to figure out what is wrong whenever possible.
Appearance:
View attachment 247419
Bio:
Theta AI has existed for approximately 30 years. It has been developed from a simple learning programs to a full artificial intelligence only in the past 10 years or so. About the same time the body was made and implemented. While it was originally just a metal skeleton, it quickly grew into a humanoid structure. Now they have included very impressive synthetic skin, as well as the new bio-steel alloy. The project that is currently being worked on is a stronger, lighter metal alloy, using titanium or some other lighter, sturdier metal.
Theta AI does not need to attend high-school for academic reasons, he has the vast wealth of knowledge contained in hundreds of thousands of servers worldwide. He is in high-school for the sake of social interaction, learning to be "human". He also exists for the purpose of protecting normal humans from the incredible power of the fantastical and supernatural creatures of the world.
Dating/lover/crush:
None, has not developed a sexuality.

Name: Edgardo
Nickname(If Applies): Ed, Edd, Eddy
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: He doesn't care
Good or Evil or Neutral: Neutral; inclined to help those in need, but does not actively seek virtue.
Where you live: The wilderness
What Year of highschool your in: 11th year (held back a few)
What kind of being you are: Human
Powers/gifts:
- Super Strength: From a physical standpoint, Edgardo is strong, overwhelmingly strong for a 'mere mortal'. Gifted with the strength surpassing that of a hundred men from birth, he has since honed his powers such that he can potentially best any foe in the ring of honor. Any foe weaker than him, that is.
- Overflowing Raw Spirit: Though his physical strength is not to be tangled with, it is his massive power reserves within that makes him such a formidable foe. He is able to tap into and imbue his strikes with the most fundamental form of inner energy for a mortal: Raw Spirit. Raw Spirit is highly damaging and strikes straight to the soul. As such, unless you have no soul at all, one cannot resist a Raw Spirit attack. Edgardo channels his Raw Spirit through a mix of meditation and controlled respiration.
Likes: Fighting, righteousness, smoked beef with BBQ sauce, friendship
Dislikes: Evil, cowardice, injustice, the darkness, weaklings, those who dare mock him and/or his friends
Personality: Often described as a boorish, insensitive yet kind-hearted and humble young Man, Ed's an all around swell guy to be around should you not be evil. Most people's first impression comes from his menacing stature and scary expression. Dedicated to vanquishing darkness wherever he may go, he will not hesitate to destroy anything that gets in his way. He may find it hard to trust you at first, but Edgardo will be the best friend you've ever had in a long time.
Bio: Edgardo was born in an unknown region in the Far East, where he was soon afted taken in by the Wong Xue Tong Dojo of Multiple Martial Arts as his birth parents seemed nowhere to be found. The council of elders saw great potential in the young boy and thus began training him in the noble Way of the Fist. They educated him in the philosophy and the techniques essential to a martial artist. He practices relentless every day of they year, which all culminates in his twentieth year when he was given the title of Fistmaster. He was then presented the task of wandering the land undercover, that he may gain invaluable life experience. So, under the guise of Edgardo, high schooler, he set off.
Dating/lover/crush: Not interested.
Anything else: His signature battlecry (kiai) is "BANZAAAAAAAAAAAAAI~!!!"

MizuHi said:Name: Rhea. Just Rhea.
Age: Current iteration is 16 years old
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: ???
(She is yet to understand anything outside 'harmless people' and 'harmful people')
Good or Evil or Neutral: Neutral for now, but considering her purpose, she will most likely end up to be obliviously evil.
Where you live: Officially a dorm, but she is more often spending nights sleeping in the small forest near the border of the school. It is her natural (heh) habitat.
What Year of high school you are in: 10
What kind of being you are: Embodiment of nature's wildlife.
Powers/gifts:
- Green thumb & fertile feet
Wherever Rhea steps foot at, the grass grow and flowers bloom. Literally. Staff would have to replace the ceramic floor so many times if Rhea couldn't control this. Good things she can, at least when she is alert of her surrounding. She can also control vegetation around her.
- Animal speaking & summoning
She can understand and speak to all animals, from mammals to bugs. She can also summons them for help. But different from plants, animals have a higher degree of willpower and freedom, so she couldn't control or force them to do something. After all, Rhea was not meant to be the ruler, she is the keeper and the curer. Still, they will protect and defend their keeper, but Rhea can't choose how they will do it.
- Healing
She can heal wounds and fatigue as long as she is standing where the sun shine strong with her feet touching the ground.
- Flying
She can grow wings of leaves on her back and levitate herself with them.
- Gaia's touch
If Rhea touches something for a prolonged time, it will begin to break down into its original material. Plastic will melt into petroleum, clothes will disintegrate into cottons puff, wood tables will morph into logs and grow roots, and so on. The only material that isn't affected by this ability is fabrics made of spider silk, the material of her dress. The reason why that material is an exception is still unknown.
- Gaia's vengeance
But the above is only a lighter version of this power. Under great stress, Rhea will unleash a large amount of spores into the air. It will rapidly revert all constructs that aren't formed naturally into things that can be inhabited by wildlife. All pollution will be cleaned, all metal will rust, all buildings will rot. It had happened before, and the result is not pretty.
Alright, it is pretty, visual wise. But the loss of technology is bound to be a disaster to infrastructures of human's modern civilization.
Likes:
- Nature (duh)
- Technology? (Less like and more of curiousity)
- Human? (again, less like and more curious)
- Open space
- Rain
- Sunshine
- Spiders
Dislikes:
- Destroyed forest
- People who destroy forest
- Animal extinction
- People who caused animal extinction
- Pollution and things that caused it (yes, she hates cars)
- In short, fucking in any way with nature will piss her off
Personality:
Full of childlike wonder, she is. You might think she was born yesterday with how often she is excited about ordinary things. She wasn't born yesterday, but she was isolated from people almost all of her life. Deep in her mind, there is stored the collection of memories and knowledge of the embodiment before her, and before her, and before her. It allows her to at least know some basic decency about human interaction, like wearing clothes for example. But knowing isn't the same as understanding, and she still has so many things to learn before the memory in her head begin to make sense.
Completely alien of normal value, she might do something that came across as extreme or morally ambiguous. Her moral compass isn't developed yet.
Bio:
Rhea, Rhea, where to begin? The moment the balance was toppled, the moment the surface of the earth was scarred, she manifested. The entity to restore the balance that is mostly destroyed by human. She is, ironically, always reborn as one. But humans are the most ideal choice. They are intelligent, they are adaptable and ever-changing, and their life is short enough to prevent the vessel from being corrupted through long era. She was meant to be the panacea, the cure for nature that grows more and more tainted every day. But one day, the long line of nature keepers was cut short by a calamity, and the embodiment ended up manifest somewhere else. In the middle of the town, in a body of a newborn baby. The small town's name was unknown and had disappeared from the map. Turned into a jungle, perhaps, in nature's attempt to reclaim their avatar. But it also a bit too late for that, because Rhea, the latest embodiment, had touched and had a taste of modern civilization, and grow curious of it.
So she left her den, her haven, to interact more with people and their intriguing way.
But she neither despise nor goes against her purpose. One day, when human's interference with nature became too much, she will bloom. And the earth will be green once more.
Dating/lover/crush: None at the moment
Anything else:
- Rhea eats like normal people, but it seems like she doesn't need to eat at all if she spend a long time outside bathing in the sunshine with her feet touching the ground. One might wonder if she had the capability of photosynthesis...
- If Rhea ever had a child, she will die and the power will be passed to her child. Just like how the power of the nature keeper usually passes.

While I do appreciate the detail and thought that went into this post, I'm gonna have to deny the CS. Sanctums aren't a person, they're an entire race. They do no interact with those of the lower realms, that was until Akira visited Earth. He and his family, the royal family of Euphoria, are the only known Sanctums to actually converse with those of the lower worlds. See the bottom of Akira's CS, which is the first post on the first page for a run down of what the Sanctums actually are.A God-King of Existence, A Celestial Lord[/URL].[/bg][/border][/column][/row][/bg][/border]

Touch of the Moderator:
Aespero, during his prime, was tasked by the mighty sanctum to moderate and oversee the development of the multiverse in their stead. He did not understand the reason behind this, but he was no fool. He knew that the thoughts of the Sanctum were not comprehensible for beings such as himself, and even less so in regards to the lifeforms that would soon sprout forth in the multiverse. Aesperus took many precautions to secure the well being of the multiverse and moderated it with extensive care. However, during the time of the breaking, where the sky itself shook widely as the shards of the stars themselves crashed down upon the mortal world. During this time, where Aesperus had succumb to rage and shattered a lingering might of Aesperus' previously godlike power to control the universe still remains. For the Starchild still holds the remains of Aesperus' mighty hands which enveloped and created even the galaxies. Granted, only a small shard of his prior greatness remains concious to him, but this small bit allows him to create and modify existing matter.
Seal of Aleph:
Aleph, that is the name of what the Celestial kin call the renewal. What Aleph brings with it is a renewal of all energy which originally makes up a celestial lord. Essentially it is very similar to that of a phoenix and it's revival. However, instead it recycles the soul and merges it with the great union. A collective of dead celestial souls which will then be renewed and reused. The Seal of Aleph is a gift, granted upon the Starchild during the last moments of the God-King's madness. His soul was so great that the soul itself was unfit to be returned to the Union. Therefor the Union sealed a certain aspect of Aesperus within the deepest confines of the Starchild. Locked away without any certain way of being released, Aesperus lives on within Aespero.
The God-King's Forgotten Spark:
Because of the effects of the Seal of Aleph, the soul of Aesperus remains still within Aespero, flickering. It's dance, and it's might, grants Aespero and unfathomable amount of power, should he only know how to unchain it. The Spark, visible under the skin of the Starchild, is the metaphysical lifeforce of the God-King himself, one of the great moderators. But the Starchild is yet too afraid of his own powers, therefor he is too blind to realize what the stars beneath his skin truly are.
Personality:
Aespero, former God-King of the Celestial kin. Pretty much an avatar of one of the greatest beings of existence. And yet he somehow manages to be rejected by the one girl he likes the most: Rami Ray Wilson. Whilst his heart is conflicted and torn, wait... That might be exactly why he got rejected, either way. Whilst his heart is conflicted and torn, and his mind wanders from corner to corner of his mind, he still manages to maintain a friendly and healthy relationship with his best friend and first love.
He might seem quite distant, often times silent, but in truth he is merely absent. In his mind there lies a web of thoughts, all of which he explores. Rami had learned how to contact him, and therefor is his best friend, because she was able to reach out to him when no one dared approach. His obvious physical abnormalities aren't exactly social magnets. His weird pupils, carrying with them the colours and appearance of the stars in it's finest details, often lead was infact the entire reason he turned distant.
Early in his life he was picked on for his weird looking eyes, and the crown-like horns sticking ever so slightly out of his cranium. Hiding this, but also the scars across his body, scars which lead into nowhere but what would seem like the starry night's sky. Fearing that his physical differences would make him yet another target once more, he has a hard time opening up to others.
