@Dano


Cause you can't use vibranium, check out tungsten, it's the hardest, most durable metal on earth with an absurd melting point of roughly 6200 degrees Fahrenheit. In it's pure form it's malleable enough to not be overly brittle while also being incredibly hard to damage (stronger than titanium). It also can be found in several species of single celled organisms, so maybe you can work that angle if you're trying to explain the power scientifically (your character shares DNA with Archaea bacteria or something sciency).


The only drawback is the considerable weight. One atom of tungsten is almost three times larger than one of Iron.

Quoted this from wikipedia


"Elemental tungsten resists attack by oxygen, acids, and alkalis."


What a "noble" element.

  Personality
  
  
  
  Objective
  Page Morgan has the ability to take a step back from situations and look at the bigger picture. Enabling her to stay objective in many situations and make better judgement calls.
  
  
  
  Apathetic
  She has not really been one for getting her hands dirty if she doesn't have to. Keeping things calm, orderly and in there place has always given her a sense of well being. This results in her being very neutral, when she can be, and not jumping in.
  
  
  
  Thorough
  Playing into needing to keep all things tidy, Page is a very organized person. This is why she often enjoys quiet, simple desk jobs, such as data entry or accounting. With all the checks and balances, there is little room for things to get chaotic, unless a mistake has been made.
  
  
  
  Emotional
  Given that Page can pick up on emotional energy being spat out in a general area, she can struggle to tell her own emotions for the ones being slung at her. When Page has become emotional entangled in a matter, she becomes very passionate, often time overly so.
  
  
  History
  
  
  Page has had it rough when it comes to her gifts. Mainly because she was born in Ireland which had more lenient regulations. This resulted in a fatal accident when Page was eight. After the death of her younger brother, Page's parents sent her to live with an Aunt in the states.
  
  
  Given her emotional state ties into her ability to set things on fire, Page Morgan has worn a limiter since she was a young girl. With her empathic abilities, Page has the ability to pick up on others emotions, both intentionally and passively. This can be a great struggle for someone who is being bombarded with waves of others emotional states and who can set fire to items with just a thought.
  
  
  While Page has been closely monitored most of her life, she has in recent years, shown a better grasp on her abilities and emotional state. Now the Common Wealth is allowing her to prove she can handle herself, by completing the course for a Blue Card. The real question is, will she be successful? Or did the Common Wealth extend this offer in hopes that exposure to all the raging emotions of teenagers plagued with their own struggles would cause her to blow her top? Thus given them grounds to disable her powers with a limiter for good.

  Primary Power
  
  
  
  Pyrokinesis, the ability to control and manipulate fire. Both igniting and extinguishing fire with one's mind. Page Morgan is able to make fire but it takes more than a mere desire or thought to do so. This telekinetic gift ties into her emotional state. By focusing on one state of being or the other, she is able to either create fire or smother it.
  
  
  Secondary powers
  
  
  
  Empathic Emotional Mirroring, seen as a curse to those that bare it. Page's very powers are driven by her emotions. With her pyrokinesis fueled by the melody of her soul, it can be a slippery slope. Her telekinetic ability already tapped into her emotional state, leaves a channel open to outside influences at all times. Being so in tune with varying emotional energies causes Page to essentially pick up on the vibe of a room. Which would be a cool party trick or a mild inconvenience, if not for her pyrokinesis. For when Page picks up on too many negative vibes or an overwhelming emotion, she can end up spouting flames before anyone knows what happened.
  
  
  
  Fire Resistant, not damaged by fire. Page is not harmed by fire, making her a promising asset to the fire department, despite her otherwise fragile form.
  
  
  Weaknesses
  
  
  
  Emotional Transference, at times influenced by others strong emotions. Taking the emotions on as her own.
  
  
  
  Line of Sight, is a rule that Page's powers strongly follow. She cannot set fire to or extinguish anything that is not within her the line of sight or immediate area. While she could attempt to do so, the accuracy of her powers are greatly diminished.
  
  
  
  Inferno and other burning risks. Emotional triggers can cause Page to unintentionally create fire. As most things are flammable, it stands to be a big risk. This is why Page's limiter is set so high, to stifle her powers entirely, when needed. One such example is when she sleeps. As Page may feel intense emotions in a nightmare, she runs the risk of creating fire. As such, Page must always sleep with her limiter on.
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  In order to rise from its own ashes, a Phoenix first must burn.
  
  
  
  
  
  A page out of the life of Page Morgan
  
  

  

  
  
  Page Morgan is often over looked by most as she spends most of her professional career behind a desk; with her nose stuffed into piles of paper or the screen of a computer.
  
  
  For this reason, she is normally wearing a respectable pair of glasses that rest high on the ridge of her nose. The frames are black thin metal with a minimalist feel and disappear from her face the moment work is over with. Pens and chopsticks from take out serve as an acceptable tools to twist up and pin her wild long strands of rich red hair. And while Page does wear make up it is nothing but the bare minimum she finds passable.
  
  
  Once freed from the bonds of her desk, Page enjoys outdoor activities in all forms. Whether its going for a run on the trail near her apartment or getting out into the wilds for a hike, Page loves it all. This leaves her fairly physically fit, despite her over indulgence of sweets. Her figure does show some plumper curves thanks to the bakery that stands between her and home. Her form is fit for a woman approaching her 30's but lets face it, she is no teenage bomb shell.
  
  
  For this reason, Page tends to dress in conservative clothing. Preferring over sized shirts with leggings and flats. Page tends to drown her assets in yards of fabric. Dresses and skirts make her feel uncomfortable at the mere sight of them. Which is why she avoids them at all cost. Simply put, if forced to wear anything revealing her pale freckled face would turn a new shade of crimson.
  
  
  Yet, while she would admit this to no one, Page has a secret. When tapping into her darker side and stirring up her more passionate emotions to create fire, her gaze shifts. From the mellow hazel hues to a dazzling blaze. Depending upon the amount of force used, determines the degree of the glow. When pushing herself to her limits and an orange blaze is emitting for her eyes, that is when Page really feels beautiful. In that moment it feels like she unstoppable and a creature of true magnificence.

That's too bad!! Well, I won't force you to use Discord then. You can stay in the OOC thread. I was just hoping to cut down on some of my notifications. RPN used to have an addon that would combine notifs, like "welian and six others responded to a thread". But, Dwiz had to delete it when it turned out to not work with a new staff tool.

You might try chatzy.com or another chat site. Chatzy. At least I know works on tablets


Edit

or maybe turn off the alerts for this thread, and just have people mention you directly when they post a profile so you don't get all those notifications for us just going on tangents.

 

[call me rae]

@Manic Muse I like her she seems very level headed which should serve her well in a training facility with a bunch of impulsive or untrained supers.

 

[M0N0]

@Manic Muse


I love the gallery bit, and the images are gorgeous!


I think I love everything about her maybe a mild crush





The only thing is that the Empathy doesn't really seem like a secondary power to fire manipulation?

 

[sorrow made you]

@Manic Muse, here's a review for your profile!


For her personality, I recommend that if you are going to have her have an objective disposition, mention that she makes opinions off of facts instead of personal feelings.


Apathetic, maybe explain how she lacks enthusiasm and excitement?


Instead of thorough, maybe use meticulous?


As for emotional, it is kind of contradicting to being objective and apathetic...


Actually, I would recommend personality traits like empathetic, meticulous, emotional, and... maybe objective would still work.

  Greg puts himself in harms way to protect those who cannot protect themselves. He works and trains harder than anyone else while pushing his students past what they ever thought they were capable of. On more than one occasion, Greg has gotten himself into trouble after rushing into a dangerous situation (with good intentions) which resulted in several casualties when he had no backup and simply could not be everywhere at once.
  
  
  History
  
  
  Greg was 19 when he went off with his uncle, David on a business trip to the southern parts of Africa. Now David wasn't a bad man, but during his time in Africa, he had brokered a deal with his client and the local warlord for some rare metal that was to be tested back in his lab just outside of Sydney. After the deal had been closed, Greg and his uncle were in their hotel room packing to head to the airport. David had just gotten off the phone with his client, joyous with good news when two men kicked in the door and shot him dead. Hearing the commotion from the bathroom, Greg tried to hide in the closet but the men located him and took him with them. The men delivered Greg to the warlord and in exchange for his life, Greg was sentenced to dig in the mines as a reminder of what happens to foreigners that try to "steal" their precious metal.
  
  
  It was a few years later when everything changed for Greg. He was working in the dusty mine day after day, but on this particular day something different happened; one of the cargo trains that passed by the mine derailed. This particular train was carrying radioactive waste and when the train derailed the contents gushed across the yard as the engine of the train collided with a refueling tank causing a massive explosion. The explosion over-charged the nuclear atoms creating a massive source of gamma radiation. Greg was coming out of the mine on his break as the fuel tank exploded. The metal dust and the gamma rays fused together and absorbed into Greg's skin. No one knew exactly what caused the train to derail, or how Greg managed to escape the blast seemingly unharmed. Greg slept horribly that night as his body felt as if it were eating itself from the inside out, little did he know, the gamma radiation had activated a dormant mutation. It wasn't until a few days later when the warlord tried to reopen the mine and the workers refused to go back because of the radiation, they had already seen several others instantly get sick as they moved toward the mouth of the mine. Instinctively, Greg sprung into action. His father had always taught him to stand up for those less fortunate, and being larger in size, he never had a problem with that, even if it meant taking a lashing for someone else. Only this time, when Greg stepped up and the guard tried to hit him with the butt of his gun, he could feel something strange happening inside. Before he knew what was happening, Greg's skin turned metallic and as the gun made contact, it shattered. The guards opened fire on Greg but it was no use, he subdued each of them before releasing the miners. Before leaving the compound, Greg paid the warlord a visit and "convinced" him to shut down the operation at the mine.
  
  
  Since the initial transformation, Greg had moved to the United States after scouting online and finding others "like" himself. Learning how to control his power was difficult at first since he wasn't sure what exactly had activated it the first time. The group he met up with, Supers With Amazing Powers (S.W.A.P.) , helped him learn of the trigger and how to use them to help others. It was during this time that the group gave him a nickname, Reverb. At first Greg wasn't sure he liked the name, but as his fellow S.W.A.P. members called on him to help them, he knew it was the right fit. As the years rolled on, Greg became more determined than ever to train to maximize his potential and help fight the rising tide of villains around the D.C. area. When Greg heard of A.E.G.I.S opening, he applied for a job to help train young supers from all walks of life and decided to move on from S.W.A.P. With his Blue Card in hand, Reverb is ready at a moments notice to spring into action to help those incapable of helping themselves.

  Primary Power
  
  
  Greg has the ability to turn his skin to a seemingly indestructible metal.
  
  
  Secondary powers
  
  
  When his skin transforms, Greg also gains increased strength.
  
  
  Weaknesses
  
  
  In his metal form, Greg's main weakness is to extreme cold (ie: liquid nitrogen) that can render him immobile and unable to change back until thawed. The only defense to cold that Greg has is the inability to be shattered while frozen.
  
  
  Like the cold, extreme heat (ie: molten lava) can render Greg's skin useless and can actually kill him. Greg avoids temperatures greater than 1000 degrees Celsius as his skin begins to melt beyond that point.
  
  
  Where he played rugby in school and then joined a football league when he arrived in the states, Greg has better than average speed and could run the 40m dash in 3.37 seconds. But when Greg's skin transforms, he becomes less agile than his "human" self and is lucky to run the 40 in under 5.5 seconds. Not only does his speed decrease, but his reaction time while moving (due to his less than stellar intellect) has been known to be delayed while in his metallic form.

Bumped my character with some added changes - removed all Marvel references and added a little more about his power activation. Again, I appreciate any and all feedback.

 

[Uncultured]

@Manic Muse


Imo all of those traits can work together, but they need to focus on a different parts of her life. Objective about.... I guess work, and apathetic about friends and family.

 

[call me rae]

@Dano very nice he reminds me of Collosus from the Xmen.

 

[Dano]

Colossus is my absolute favorite - very under-appreciated but still amazing. @readingraebow is there anything you see that I should look over or improve upon? Anything that just glares at you?

 

[ManicMuse]

So from the feed back I am getting, expand on her personality. Make her more human and down to earth. Still a little detached in that area. I totally agree now that is was pointed out. I either need to expand upon it or change traits all together.


The empathic part I hear you, it is difficult so I am tempted to pull that from the secondary power part and play it as an unsung fact in that weakness department. She basically is a rip off of the phoenix side of Jean Grey from X Men and Liz Sherman from Hell Boy. (Hey, at least I am honest right?) So because her emotions are so deeply tied to her power the telekinetic properties of the ability also heightens her senses to what is around her emotionally.


This does not mean she can read people it is more an impression of the general mood in an area. It is almost like a built in survival trait. Sensing tension around her can in turn make her tense and allow her to access her powers more readily than if she was going about things all happy go lucky and suddenly needed to be angry to produce fire.


I don't know, further thoughts on the secondary trait?

@Dano


Yeah, I think you should ask @welian first

 

[Dano]

@readingraebow I wasn't planning on having a team - it was just part of the back story as to how he got where he is.

 

[sorrow made you]

I'm thinking since you mentioned she's a kind of Jean Grey, is that she purposely trained herself to be more neutral in emotion. She has a tight grip on how they outwardly effect her and she is very controlled/disciplined in that aspect.


But at the same time, if she ever loses her grip on her emotions, her power would simply be fueled by her emotion.


At the same time, she uses the emotion from others as an amplifier to her own power. So she technically uses "the air (emotion) about a room" in order to intensify her power.


Am I anywhere close? Dx

[/QUOTE]
So it's more the case of being just super humanly intuitive. Like she's just good at "reading the atmosphere" and determining if people are too tense or depressed or exited.


That makes some sense , I dunno if it necessarily needs to be a super power as I'm pretty sure that's a trait normal people can have.

 

[welian]

Going to go update the list with the characters that have been posted.

 

[ManicMuse]

@readingraebow
Yes, you too are a genius! This, this right here is the break through I needed. I need to swap out the personal trait with that and then adjust my super power.


You all are awesome sauce. Thank you for the feedback!

@Lilah Tunth - I wish your font wasn't so hard to read ( ) it seems like a lot of people really like what you have, but my eyes just aren't what they use to be.

What I do is copy the individual words and then paste them onto an email, if you right click and select paste as plain text it should be easier to read.


As for the Superhero team I realize their background I just don't know how supers form teams in this universe. As welian doesn't say in the overview. So I figure asking would be nice, even if it is just a backstory thing better to ask and have it be okay than not ask and have it mess up some unknown plot point later.

I see what you mean. I guess I meant for it to be more of a support group than a team. If I could send a private message I would (but I cannot yet).


@welian - are you okay with the super support group I created as part of the back story? I don't plan on using it in the rp, just as a way to get my character to the area.
