Personality: Ever since he was young, John had been warm-hearted and kind. He smiled and laughed easily, and never hesitated on helping another, which is both a strength and a weakness.

Name: Gareth Cline


Age: 22


Occupation: Bartender (Struggling Muscian)


Demon Mark:


Harmony:


(Active) This mark bestows the power of cleansing light to its bearer, he may use it dispel infernal magics, to tear asunder the beings of the underworld and to bring courage and new strength to his friendsor to light the way along a dark path.

When fully unfettered this mark unleashes a power that is commanded by neither man or demon and will attack friend or foe alike. However when it is chained down and kept under constant monitor it's rage can be unleashed to create arcs of energy or small pulses that augment its wearers strength. Beware for if used for too long the beast may awaken destroy all that is dear before leaving your body lifeless in its blind rage.

Location of Mark:


Harmony:


Along the underside of his left forearm.


Discord:


On the underside of his right forearm.


Weapons:N/A


Appearance:

The_Bartender_V_by_chebs.jpg

Personality:


He's young free and single, he is certainly quite eager to mingle. Gareth is smart, cunning, lucky and most of all talented. Music is his passion but he knows that without the soft buoyancy that money provides him the world can be hard and cold; especially for a young and struggling musician. He loves the night life and likes to boogie. He's a quick learner and a charmer, he avoids his past and if asked will divert the topic to something he can deal with.


Background:


His father was a drunk, since the day his mother disappeared without a trace he and Gareth have lived together. When his father was not drunk, he was working but Gareth couldn't hate him because after all his father was there for him while his mother was not. Beyond a mark that baffled doctors and gained his a lifetime of mockery from his classmates all the way until college.


The tattoo like birth mark read Enhance, for a weak it had been the sole focus of a dozen reporters who wanted to know if he was some demon or angel and if he was either did Satan or God exist. Of course at the tender young age of 6 the concept of heaven and hell was restricted to 'where the bad boys go and where the good boys go'.


Highschool was the roughest for him, it was also the best thing that could have ever happened, since he was little people often commented that he had the 'voice of an angel' but when he first layed his hands on an instrument it was as though he had found his purpose in life and it was to play music.


The first instrument and his favourite instrument he ever played was the guitar, it was the turning point for his highschool life; girls liked him more, people didn't make fun of him anymore and he was cool for the first time, when he turned sixteen his mark had enhanced his coolness more.


He was awarded a scholarship to Julliard in New York, he graduated with a degree in music and found a job at a bar called Black Rabbit's where he performs on open nights and works almost every other to help facilitate his rise to the top of Mt. Fame.


Gareth Cline was the man responsible for the Hellion Beasts Gang, at first it had simply been a title for himself, something he mused over when bored out of his brains. His powers hadn't necessarily fully awakened until the night he got mugged, he was beaten to within an inch of his life and had almost 50 dollars stolen from his wallet.


Sometimes his powers would manifest in the most subtlest ways but on a cold dark night while on his way to work he was transported to another dimension, there he was faced by pair of thugs. The same thugs who had accosted him a few nights prior. This time however instead of punching him into oblivion they split in half to become a pair of demonic creatures.


The battle was totally one sided until he managed to use his power consciously by calling down what looked like two pillars of light breaking through the night sky to burn the demons into ashes. The demonic duo were summarily dealt with and he was returned to earth; his favourite jacket ruined along with his second best shirt.


A year later, after several more visits to the plane of Limbo he began to notice the appearance of similarly marked people. He established his gang the 'Hellion Beasts' and recruited three people before the advent of the Blood Sky Event in New York.


Other: He loves sweet food and girls.......obviously.


I AM CO GM- Pew Pew!!!

CharChar45 Denied. I'm sorry. I just can't approve that mark. Its abilities are potentially OP given the right book.


Also, it's a bit ironic that you chose Hibari of all people to represent your pacifist character, isn't it? Pfft.


Okay, so far we've got 8 official characters, 4 of each gender. I'll allow 2 or three more male characters and I'll go over the other female candidates with my co-runner. Once we have a total of 13-14 characters, the sign ups will be officially closed.


I should probably put up my character soon. 
Name: Mirabelle "Mira" Strauss


Age: 17


Occupation: Student at Mary Magdalene's School for Boys and Girls


Demon Mark:

  • Game - Game can only be activated in Limbo. Once activated, a roulette spins to select a children's game. Then the battlefield may or may not be altered to fit that game and a set of rules will be in play. Generally the loser of the game dies but that is not always the case. This is an ability does not give anyone an advantage in the game, it just starts a "game". The game ends when the time limit is up, there is a winner, or Mira is unconscious. Examples of games are "tag", "hide & seek" and (my favorite) "king of the hill". (I won't be using this mark much until we at least meet the Street Wyverns (mostly because I really want to do a "king of the hill" scenario with them). And I do have a cup here with the games on slips of paper so the games will be randomly selected. I'm also preparing another cup to randomly select people should the game need an "it". I'll also put a post up, explaining all the games and rules.)
  • Nothing - Mira uses nothing in two ways. She can nullify magic attacks of a certain degree as long as she touches it with her right hand (sort of like Touma's Imagine Breaker). It doesn't work on physical attacks though, like if you threw something at her. With this mark, Mira can also heal wounds (to revert the wounds to nothing). Cuts and scrapes come easy to her and regenerating lost appendages takes a lot of energy and time. She must be touching the wound with her right hand though for the entire duration of the healing. Once interrupted midway, she can't continue. This doesn't work with mental wounds nor can it resurrect the dead. Mira hates this mark though and refuses to use it most of the time.


Location of Mark: "Nothing" is over her heart and "game" is on her left thigh.


Weapons: Mira tends to use a metal baseball bat, seeing as that the only thing she can really carry around without gaining the attention of the police. However when traveling at night, she opts for a steel pipe. She also carries a pair of tonfa strapped behind her by her belt.


Appearance:

<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_06/57a8bdc698d03_MasqueradeMira_0001.jpg.a26bb3250c179c18104ae1d00f7b6f5f.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="2307" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_06/57a8bdc698d03_MasqueradeMira_0001.jpg.a26bb3250c179c18104ae1d00f7b6f5f.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Mira has ocean blue eyes. The left is how she usually looks, like at school or with her family, and the right is her appearance while with the Hellion Beasts.


Personality:


Mira is rather cold, sarcastic, a bit blood thirsty and arrogant, with no real regard to the well being of others. She's the type to do whatever it takes to get what she wants and hates owing anyone anything or being saved. She hates huge crowds and working with others as she believes they will just weigh her down. As she doesn't like being controlled, she doesn't listen to anyone other than her parents and Gareth and even then, there's a limit to how much she will do as he says. She does have a weak spot for small children, stray animals and an elderly homeless man named Lester who lives under the bridge in Central Park.


Background:


Mira was the product of an affair between the the wife of a New York millionaire and an unknown man (Although she knows who it is now). Born with black smudge-like birthmarks on her chest and leg that seemed to form words later on.


Despite not being a legitimate child, her stepfather still allowed her to stay with the family and treated her like his own daughter, even if he was more invested in her older half-brother, Max, the legitimate son. To make sure that she wasn't abandoned, Mira put her all into everything she did whether it be her studies, athletics or other lessons, trying to convince herself that she was not the "nothing" that the mark on her chest seemed to label her. Maybe it was the blood of her absent father in her, but she soon began to hate the mask of the perfect daughter that she had to wear. She craved excitement. Danger.


When she was 15, she began sneaking out late at night to hang out with the typical gangbangers in the city. It was strange, all she had to do was change her hair a bit and wear different clothes, and no one could tell who she was. But then again, who would imagine Mirabelle Strauss to be hanging out with this sort of crowd. This became a regular routine until the next year, when she had her first encounter with Limbo and a few other people who would later be known as the first Hellion Beasts.

Okay, I'm not sure if I still have the option, but I was thinking instead of empathy then, Morph? She can change the shape of anything she touches into anything else she's ever seen, but her powers follow the laws of physics, i.e. mass is conserved. She can't take a mouse and make it into an elephant and the effect only lacks for a few moments. It's not an illusion though. For those few moments, it's completely real.
 
Yes it does. But in order to not make the power to OP, I guess you have to figure that it still only lasts for a short time. So it could a) totally mess up the body and kill it because the soul leaves the body and while the form returns to normal, the life within it is gone, or b) leave the body incapacitated long enough for another to say set fire to it and the body dies.
 
Mags I'm happy with your Morph power so long as you use option B on people AND other living creatures, I will allow you to be a little more lenient when morphing Inanimate objects. Things the size of....a laptop or smaller you may morph with no time limit, anything of greater mass will be subject to maybe a 1-2 (of your own) post time limit before they change back.


If you make that proviso you are ACCEPTED!!


keizerin To be accepted you must either remove the 'small home made bombs' or add a reason in her background as to why she has them. I will not count 'she has an internet connection' as a valid reason.


Say perhaps her librarian is a terrorist of some sort and has tried to recruit her to his cause and taught her how to make homemade bombs.


As unlikely as it is, I would still accept it as a viable reason.


-------------------------------


Okay, I have updated my profile a little, there's a bit of extra info pertaining to the Hellion Beasts in there though not much and I may have jumped the gun a little but I'll deal with that.
 
I actually preferred the second option anyways so I am good with that. And you're looking for a time limit? Small inanimate objects, maybe they have no time limit if you are going to be lenient. Inanimate objects between a laptop and a bureau last a day or two, and anything of greater mass is a few hours or less. Living things though only last a minute or two before they change back, regardless of size.


Also if she wanted to make something small into something bigger, she would have to pull energy from elsewhere, i.e. heat or light, to make up for the missing mass. If the other way, she would have to dispel the energy, or absorb it herself.
 
Energy into mass, m'dear? How about various other matter of similar state (solid-liquid-gaseous) in the vicinity? Though tha' might cause a quite a scale of effect.
 
1. Second option is OKAY


2. No time limit on small inanimate objects is OKAY


3. Morphed objects of greater mass will have shorter time limits OKAY


4. The time limits of morphed, living, biological beings OKAY


5. Rather than repurposing ambient energy (Since it is rather OP to change energy into mass or mass into energy) I suggest that you instead can add to an items mass by morphing two items together (A bit of a stretch of the word but it still applies) and similarly she may morph one item into two.


You may not morph one item into two objects, for example:


Turning a large boulder into several spears. -That is a no no.


Reducing a boulder into its core compounds (iron, magnesium etc) is ok


I would further restrict your powers by making you unable to fuse objects of different materials together but that would take away the fun, so consider me an angel of kindness. (I'm serious, I was gonna do that but you don't HAVE to consider me an angel of any sort.)


With these things in mind I hope you have come to a decision
 
First of all, bonus points to Durr for getting the inspiration for the mark.


Second, so this is what it's like to have a co-runner. Sweet!
 
Name: Lee Harper. Nickname: The Dragon


Age: 21


Occupation: Martial Arts teacher Assistant


Demon Mark:

  • Water Can Flow: Lee's mark allows him a general control over water, but, it does not allow him to summon it if he isn't decently hydrated. This also allows him to breathe underwater in both Limbo and non-Limbo. This power also coincides with his Martial Arts technique. He can pull in certain amounts of moisture from the air around him(Just enough to cover his arms and act as a shield or a melee damage increase.)
  • And Water Can Crash: The drawbacks, in other words. Saying as there is the river, in New York, if Lee were to even attempt to move the entire thing, it'd kill him. No ifs ands or buts about it. If he dehydrates himself, and tries more, he will die. His weaknesses are dry places, and such like that. He can combat fire, to an extent. Oh, he may be able to breathe underwater, but he can only take so much pressure from the water before he is crushed by it.


Location of Mark: Aqua, upon his right shoulder blade.


Weapons:
hanbo.jpg
He uses it as a "walking stick" saying that he needs it for his "gimpy leg." However, he is skilled with the hanbo, but he can fight without it.


Appearance: <p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_06/Lee.jpg.81392807764ac8b695e1c775371cecd7.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="2322" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_06/Lee.jpg.81392807764ac8b695e1c775371cecd7.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p> He wears the Tank top pictured, and he wears these:
0351-LG.JPG
280408%20009.jpg



Personality: Lee is a calm, smart young man. He normally does what he is told, unless he sees wrong in it. He's one of those people who'd do almost anything for his friends and family, he'd even die for them. He also loves to have fun, and may be a bit cocky, boastful at times. He's even been known to taunt those who he's fought.


Background: Lee was born in New York, as a third generation Asian American, Chinese, to be correct. From a very young age, he was being taught Jeet Kune Do, a mixture of various types of fighting styles, that his grandfather had learned from Bruce Lee, who Lee was named after.


Lee also went through school rather well, never causing trouble himself, but when trouble found him, boy did it. Some of the school yard bullies tended to harass him due to his Chinese descent, some even decided to take it a step further and attack him, which ended badly for them.


Later in his life, more towards his teen years, Lee started getting various headaches and pains. He was taken to the hospital, where he was told that his very low body fat percentage was dangerous, and that Lee needed to eat a lot more fat based foods if he didn't want to die before he hit 20.


However, as he is still alive, he survived, though he may get headaches every now and then.


On the day the event happened, he was with his father, training some students outside, Lee stayed outside as his father lead the panicking group inside. However, Lee doesn't know of his powers, at the moment.


Other: Lee is skilled in the style of Jeet Kune Do, which is a mixture of many styles of Martial Arts, from Chinese Boxing, to Japanese Karate, to Tae Kwon Do, and more. Essentially, once Lee finds out about his powers, he'll use those as a fallback, a last resort.


Metabolism: Lee has a WICKED fast metabolism, saying that he must eat as much as he can, as he'd be burning away energy faster than lightning strikes.

Name: Ryan Roman


Age: 19


Occupation: Street Fighter


Demon Mark: Reactive Evolution. His body automatically adapts to any situation or environment he is placed in, allowing him to survive possibly anything. But, with no way to control his power, he often finds himself at the whim of his body and does not always evolve abilities that make him terribly useful to the team as he just finds a way to survive. He is also weak to energy type abilities such as lightning , fire.


Location of Mark: The mark is located around his neck


Weapons: He carries two combat army knives . Both have a black hilt with a red strip running down the side. The tip of the blade curves up in to rigid teeth. (Great for cutting)


Appearance:
iw__gasmask_ver__by_zebracrayon-d66dlp2.png



Personality: He dull at times but can be very scary due to his little side talks with himself . He snickers to himself a lot, which makes him seem like he is crazy. He is a hard head ,and listen to no one if it doesn't benefit himself. She is calm but can be enraged easily. He appears to enjoy challenges, even when he can't win, or if his challenger is a small child. He is intelligent despite his looks. He chooses to use it when the odds are clearly at his disadvantage. He can be rude and cocky, sometimes pushing the limits on who he is talking to. But he is smart enough to know when to stop, or just accept what's happened. He is often sarcastic, sometimes a little child like. He makes himself to be anti-social, because he hates people and how they hide there true self, unlike him.


Background: Ryan was born in to a normal family of five. A mother , father , one sister and one brother. Nothing special about them. his mother ran a bakery shop. His father was a mechanic. His sister sowed and his brother had graduated and went off in to the army only to die three weeks after his departure. He was a trouble child. Always skipping school, never coming home at the right time. Always messing with people , and their affairs. He even took pictures of the affair his neighbors across the street had and printed them out. He had split his time of the day to either watching his dad make things or him getting in to random fights down by other high school.


It was the morning part of the day where he was with his dad. His dad making motors and fixing up broken down cars. He took apart things to only switch them with parts that shouldn't even belong. His father got upset after putting in a motor that he fiddled with. He tried to start up the car but a puff of smoke came out then a spark. His dad of course yelled at him and told him to go find something else today. Be useful for once and leave. Ryan shrugged and went off, back to the high school .One of the gangs challenged him that day, and he was already bored. He had planned to skip out on it but now he had no reason to.


When the bloody sky happened he was just finishing up a few more fights ,that weren't high schools but gangs. It was amazing to him. Finally the sky he could look at and smile. Thinking nothing of it, just how cool it was he walked home. Getting the same lecture for being out so late. He decided to drop it and go upstairs to sleep. Bit since he was out and about he would change his routine and take a shower. He was taking off his clothes not really paying attention the palm of his hands until he lifted up his shirt. He saw something black on it, which made him think about the blood he had gotten on his knuckles. He took the shirt off and looked at it. Curious he ran it under some water but it didn't wash away. He stared at it more , squinting his eyes a little. The ink forming into the words Reactive Evolution

Ok.
GoddessOfGod you've missed something important in the rules section and that power is too OP no matter which way you look at it. I hope you edit it and try to nerf (this term maybe different from what I think it is ) your power some more or change it.-Pending

alright editing
 
Name: Sigfried Mckreide (Sig-freed)


Age: 31


Occupation: Musician


Demon Mark: Concerto- When a musical term is used it grants an ability relating to the meaning of the term. Not all terms give an ability but instead state the name of a move or combo that looks a certain way. Concerto has also granted him musical excellence with all instruments and his voice.


Location of Mark: Wraps around his neck.


Weapons: He doesn't carry around any weapons but he does wear directors gloves. He also often carries around an instrument of sorts not always being the same.


Appearance:


tumblr_m6sv5v2xXf1ry5urko1_500.jpg



Personality: He is an outgoing person and loves to talk to people. He isnt really a very angry or violent person unless he has a reason or something to fight for. Sigfried loves to make people smile and to smile himself. He tries to be as much of a father figure as possible and is especially nice to children.


Background: Sigfried had just been married four years ago and he had his first child three years ago. He worked as a small time musician barely able to support his family but they were all happy together. He loved his son to death and he looked just like his mother. He and his wife would always sing to him until he went to sleep...but on July 4th they went out to eat on a special occasion. He looked back to see his son staring out the window at the fireworks with wide eyes as he drove down the rode. Another driver on the rode was drunk and distracted. Sigfried tried to drive away from the driver before they got hit but he was to late. That day his wife and child both died and he was alone. The last he saw of his son was his wide eyes and the glimmer from the fire works. Now he is a renowned musician and lives more luxurious but still walks around the streets playing for the children to see the smiles on their faces and a glimmer in their eyes.
