Once you are accepted, go to the Settings/Locations tab and select which cabin you want. I cannot promise you will get the cabin you want, but it will influence my decision.

[/SPOILER]

 

[Airagog]

Decently fast = ~50mph. Bears can run about 40 mph, so it's SUPER yes but not extreme.


Durability is pretty standard, blunt attacks are easily enough to shrug off, stabs that are shallow not too bit of a deal, (much like stabbing an actual bull, lot of extra skin and fat. I mean muscle. Dont have a weight problem i swear >.>) very large controlled stabs are a problem.


Strength is pretty standard. A strongman can lift 3x his body weight. Granted, this is through benching and takes quite a bit of conditioning, but it is possible.


 
EDIT: saw I put 4x. Though technically could be possible with drugs and juicing up, comfortably in normal state is 3x

 

[Shog]

I have been in/made several super powered RPs in the past so when someone says super speed, I think faster than that. I see your side, but you understand the insane amount of weight that is, right? I'm willing to break at 8 tons. I have some homework to finish, so I will clear my notifications and work on that for a while.

 

[Airagog]

That's actually relatively not too much. Especially in comparison to the other powers. You all just are very very light


EDIT. to give you an idea, an adult elephant weighs 15,000 lbs on average. You could give me the 4x strength and I'd only be able to lift an elephant. If I really wanted to make him super I'd change the ratio to equal an elephant which would be closer to an actual minotaur, but again you all are pretty light, so I think it makes more sense to have him at a lower weight.

Correction. Part of what took me so long in replying to you earlier was me doing some research. 4X strength would give you enough strength to lift 2 elephants. Rounded one tone is 2,000 pounds. That means an average elephant weighs around 7.5 tones and with you being able to life around 16 tons at 4X strength means you could lift 16 tons and two elephants is 15 tons (7.5x2=15). I gave 8 tons because it was enough for you to lift an elephant with relative ease, which I think is reasonable for having half a minotaur's DNA.

Male African elephants are the largest surviving terrestrial animals and can reach a height of 4 m (13 ft) and weigh 7,000 kg (15,000 lb). (source: Wikipedia)


 
I am well informed and researched if nothing else.

Hey, that's the same info I got. How does this help your case?


 

Name: Nahla Budur
Age (15-17): 17


Gender: female


Place of origin: Syria (fun fact: The earliest tracing of mermaid folklore began in Syria)


Human appearance:

Nahla stands straight at 5'9" and she weighs about 117 pounds. Her skin is an unnatural tan/olive color and when wet, her skin seems to slightly glow. She has short black hair that is normally wavy but prefers to keep it straighten with a flat iron. Normally you will see Nahla wearing very loose t-shirts and skinny jeans or a tank top and some shorts.


Monster Name: Merperson


Monster appearance (note the differences to make it more human):

Spoiler

When Nahla morphs into her monster form she grows to be 6'3" and weighs about the same as in her human form except for 3 pounds of tail. Her hair grows to about the length of her waist line and hers ears remain the same except for a few small points to them (small scale of picture ears). Nahla Also grows a set of gills on her neck and her sides, as well as scales that grow on her arms, chest, and legs appearing like gloves, boots/pants, and a bra. As for her hands and feet, Nahla's fingers are webbed together and her feet flatten to become about 1' long separate flippers. The last thing is Nahla has a 5 foot long tail that she uses in the water to aide her when she swims.

Power(s):


-hydrokinesis: the ability to control and manipulate water at will.





- hydro-cryokinesis: the ability to freeze water.


- hydro-thermokinesis: the ability to heat and boil water.


- gelidkinesis/substanciakinesis: the ability to turn water into a jelly like compound or harden into a glass like substance.


- Siren-singing: the ability to put someone under a hypnotic/alluring trance. Once under the trance, the mermaid can will that person to do small things for them or constantly follow the mermaid.(Only works on men)


-speed swimming: mermaids can swim up to speeds of 440 km/h


(As it stands right now, Nahla only has the ability of hydrokinesis alone and none of the abilities that branches off of hydrokinesis yet. Plus she hydrokinesis skills are sloppy and she can onlyl manipulate water for a short amount of time. She also has the siren-singing ability but she can't control it so Nahla refrains from singing at all times. Finally Nahla can not speed swim yet and her speeds will be limited to about half of a normal mermaid's.)


Personality:


Nahla is a very extroverted and friendly person, with a bubbly attitude. She is very smart for a person of her age and pretty athletic as well. She loves... Well everything and is not afraid to share what is on her mind, unless it could hurt someone around her. Like the monster she comes from, Nahla is a sensual kind of being and is not afraid when it comes to hitting on someone. Over all Nahla is a happy, free loading person who loves music, swimming, love, and friends.


Other: Nahla sometimes forgets about her siren voice and will start singing to songs she is listening to. If this happens hopefully their are no boys around her.


Accepted.

 

[Airagog]

You're not doing standard conversion. You're coming in at KG in regards to lbs. You're putting an elephant at half its weight. At 4x strength he could lift exactly one elephant with difficulty.


 
AKA if he had 4x strength, he could lift 16,000 lbs.


An elephant weighs roughly 15,000 lbs. Meaning he could lift an elephant with some difficulty. That's pretty reasonable.

 

[Shog]

I don't know what to tell you. I took a different path to get my answer than you and it comes up right every time I do it. All I can tell you is this: https://www.google.com/#q=how+much+is+one+ton


You can change the conversions in anyway you want.

 

[Airagog]

*sigh* okay. So you agree I should be able to lift an elephant with moderate difficulty, obviously can't just walk easily, but I can lift it and such, correct?


 
You and I want the EXACT same thing, trust me.

 

[Shog]

Yes, you should be able to lift an elephant with moderate difficulty. Maybe not right off the bat, but very soon after (like after the first time skip).

 

[Solarknight]

@Shog I forgot to specify a few things. Kira while in monster form is innately invisible to everyone who hasn't seen another person die. That I will not budge on because it is basically what makes a thestral awesome. While not in beast form, she has to consciously think about death to turn invisible. At first it will only last a few seconds before she gets scared and stops.

 

[Airagog]

Lets just go from there and say Bull's starting limit is 16,500 lbs which would allow him to lift and carry an elephant with moderate ease/difficulty.

Place of origin: Netherlands


Human Appearance:


Aleksander is tall and slender, and rather lanky to be more descriptive. He has very pale blonde hair that looks silver in certain lighting, as well as ice blue piercing eyes. His hairstyle is rather long and boyish, often sweeping over his left eye. The clothes he wears are rather tight and dark, and often are adorned with lots of buckles and zippers.

Spoiler

Monster Appearance:


"I'm not a monster."


A being made of dark and furling shadows that often seem to flow with the wind. His 'eyes' are seen as red orbs, also seen and floating with the bright light. Being made of shadows and darkness, he doesn't weigh much, and objects pass through him as if he were a ghost.


Height: 6'2


Weight: 42lbs


Power(s):

• (Intermediate) Shadow Manipulation - Pretty self-explanatory. Shadows and darkness can be controlled and used. This is a standard and basic power that all shadow beings know how to do. More difficult practices may allow the user to create other shadow-y lifeforms out of darkness.
  
• Levitation - Not really a power, but what come with being a shadow. The user just kind of floats there.
  
• Illusion - Goes somewhat hand-in-hand with shadow manipulation. Images can be invoked into the mind of others to fabricate fake imagery, hallucinations if you will.
  

Personality: Aleksander can be both someone to provoke quite easily, as well as someone that will treat one very kindly. He mostly retains a cool composure, despite his nearly unapproachable appearance. His demon-like looks often force people to shy away from him, others observing him as merely a cold and heartless beast. Sure, he has his sociopathic moments, like everyone else, but he has earned himself a negative reputation in that factor. Depending on his mood, his words can be from nice and eloquent, to rude and sarcastic. People often believe Aleks has a multiple personality disorder going on, but he is just very moody from time to time, his moods very influenced by his surrounding environment. He favors speaking his mind, and tends to be very honest, almost painfully so, that even going as far as never sugar-coating things.


Other: Aleksander speaks with a heavy Dutch accent, even in his English.

 

[Airagog]

Cause you and I are sayin the exact same thing.


 
Though I would like to change it to him being raised in the southern US

So anyone who engages in combat with you must have seen death, or have the super senses to smell and/or hear where you are to stand a chance? Am I the only one who sees a problem with this?


 
@Airagog


I believe we have come to an agreement, yes. Just change the CS and I can accept it from there. Why would you like to move there, by the way? I'm not trying to be argumentative, just curious. By the way, I really want to see someone call him fat just to see his reaction.

 

[Airagog]

Because I'm from the south and its gonna be near impossible to get over my natural accent.


 
Plus minotaur from Texas, c'mon

Allow me to direct you to two other characters I have already accepted.


A:

Name: andrew black
Age: 15


Gender: male


Place of origin: new orleans


Human appearance: View attachment 104888


5 foot 6 120 pounds


Monster name: demon


Monster appearance: View attachment 104889


5 foot 8 190 pounds


Full monster form:View attachment 104936


12 foot 5 510 pounds


Powers: shadow control- can give shadows a 3-d form. Example: a birds shadow turns into a a bird. Can learn how to travel through them and will be able to change their shapes but he can only control so many and can only make them go as far as 4 or 5 feet from him


Personality: carefree. Cares little about others. Only looks for entertainment.


Other:

Shadow manipulation is taken.


B:

Name:
Birosu Haru (Goes by Haru)


Age:


16


Gender:


female


Place of origin:


Sapporo, Japan


Human appearance:


Haru looks like any ordinary girl. She is a 5' 7.5" girl and weighs 110 pounds. She has blue eyes, long, blond white hair. She wears a light orange shirt and wears black pants.


Monster Name: The Kitsune


Monster appearance (note the differences to make it more human):


While in her partial monster form, she has fox ears making her just two inches taller than her human form. She weighs about the same just having 2 extra pounds added. She has a thin coat of bleach white fur all over her and her hair turns bleach white as well. Her hands become like paws. She has a big fluffy tail of the same color as her fur (white). Her shadow would be that of a foxes.


In full monster form, though she isn't able to get to that yet, she is a white fox. She would be 18" high and weigh 21 pounds. That's it basically, though with the powers obviously.


Power(s):


Her powers are various. The powers are listed as the first being the ones she gains first. It would take lots of work to get one and advance one.

1. Kitsune-bi: Haru would be able to make small 'fox lanterns', by producing small balls of fire to float around them, and guide their way. This fire can be used as a weapon, or as a toy. It can be later expanded more potential to other stuff: She would, to a small range, be able to breathe out fire.
   
2. Illusions: Haru would be able to make illusions of things that are found or crafted in nature, though the would have some imperfections to make it not like the real thing (Ex: wrong size, proportion, color, etc.). She would only be able to do one or two at first because of the stress it puts on the mind. As she progresses, she would be able to make people, animals, and objects, which would be hard to distinguished from the real thing while being able to make a little more (like one or two extra)
   

Personality: She fears and hates dogs. She can be stubborn and lazy while also interesting at the same time. She likes her colleagues. She believes in the good of people, maybe a little too bit. She is curious, not so smart, and afraid of some stuff.


Other: Her mother was a kitsune herald for an Inari shrine in Japan, where she met her father who was at taking care of it.

Illusions is taken.


You might be able to work something out with the second one, but the first has very firmly stated he will not change any more. Truth be told, I would rather neither of them change at all as they already had to put additional work to get where they are now.

Whoops, I didn't notice that. And why can't there be multiple beings of certain races?

 

[Shog]

@Airagog


Well I put place of origin so someone would not be a half-breed with the DNA of a monster on the other side of the globe. However a simple solution is to have you born where you currently say and just move to Texas at a very young age. Sorry for being so picky, but I hope this works. I really do like your character and want to see it in action.


 

Whoops, I didn't notice that. And why can't there be multiple beings of certain races?

Because people get offended. I have bean in enough powered RPs to note that when someone gets accepted with a power already accepted for someone else then tension builds between the two because they feel that they deserve that power to be special to them as they were accepted for it. Then they try to fix the problem on their own and their power level grows exponentially, forcing everyone else to do so as well and the next thing you know everyone has the power of gods. This might sound far fetched to you, but I have seen it happen on several occasions.


 
Now, I am going to go practice Viola and work on this when I get back; hopefully with a real reply to the RP.
