[call me rae]

@Dano seems harmless enough as I said so most likely it's fine. But I would hate to tell you that it's okay and then have welian scold you later on down the road. So always best to just ask, even if it seems like a stupid question.


Also I did the text of Lilahs profile for you on this document. Hopefully it's easier for you to read. Basics

JUST IN CASE, FYI for those people who didn't open all the tabs, here's what it says for Additional Characters. Looking at you @HunterJJ


Perhaps you’ve decided that you want to play multiple characters. Awesome! However, I have a few rules in place that you’ll need to follow.


One: You can only make a second character after you’ve posted as the first character at least five times. This is to prevent people from taking up valuable space with characters that they don’t use.


Two: The more powerful your first character is, the less powerful your second character will be. This is decided with “character points”. You have nine of these imaginary points. You redeem some of these points whenever you make another character. Different ranked characters cost different points.

• E: 1 point
  
• D: 2 points
  
• C: 3 points
  
• B: 4 points
  
• A: 5 points
  
• S: 6 points
  

You could, if you wanted to and posted diligently enough, have three C rank characters. Or an A and a B rank character. Just remember to give them all equal love and care and attention!

Not a problem, I am on my phone a lot and sometimes Google fonts like to make the screen go wonky. So i do it for myself anyway so I figured might as well link you too.

  Personality
  
  
  Pacifist
  
  
  Dante is heavily against violence and fighting. He'll do whatever he can to avoid those things, although that can sometimes be harder to do than one would think.
  
  
  Giving
  
  
  Dante is a philanthropic person. If he saw someone that had less than him he'd happily give them cash or food or clothing to help them out.
  
  
  Kind
  
  
  Dante is the kind of person that would help out anyone any time. You could be mean to him and he'd still go out of his way for you.
  
  
  Defensive
  
  
  As much as Dante tries to avoid confrontations he'll step in for a friend if they need him. He'll always stand up for his friends and family. Maybe even himself if it's serious. The down side to this is that it can cause his anger flair up sometimes.
  
  
  History
  
  
  Dante's powers first manifested around the time he hit puberty. He got into a fight with another student and as he was getting beat up he transformed. The end result was a destroyed wing of a private school and luckily no injuries. He and his family were promptly scooped up by the CommonWealth. A limiter was placed on Dante's wrist to help prevent his power's activation and so began his life in "special schooling" under the eyes of the CommonWealth.
  
  
  Dante was finally allowed to attend public school once he entered high school. With the permission of the CommonWealth and the encouragement of his parents he began attending an average high school. A normal life was something he'd craved, but because of his powers there were limits to what he could do - all in hopes of never accidentally triggering his transformation.
  
  
  When he graduated from high school he began attending the Aegis facility full time as a student in hopes of being able to fully control his transformed self, as well as learning to transform at will. Dante wants a normal life, and hopefully that will include the ability to help people with his powers as well.

• Ability	Points	Total	Description
  Health:	?????????​	01	The ability to resist illness and recover quickly from injuries, overall health.
  Strength	?????????​	09	Physical strength, the ability to strike hard, lift heavy objects, and so on.
  Toughness	?????????​	05	Endurance and stamina, the ability to take a hit and still keep going.
  Agility	?????????​	09	Speed, dexterity, nimbleness - agility is the ability to move quickly.
  Intelligence	?????????​	01	Not book smarts, but the ability to perceive and retain lots of information.
  Willpower	?????????​	01	Strength of mind, the ability to stay focused and determined.

  
  
  Primary Power
  
  
  Dante's body becomes covered in a black exoskeleton in the form of a demonic entity with red vein lines. The exoskeleton is a rough protective shell that is hard to penetrate or damage. His fingers are tipped in extremely sharp claws and his eyes are turned red, along with a fine set of large horns on his head.
  
  
  Secondary powers
  
  
  Super Strength - Gives his attacks a terrifying power.
  
  
  Super Speed - He moves faster than average, almost on the edge of human sight.
  
  
  Weaknesses
  
  
  • Uncontrollable/Mindless - When Dante transforms into his "Berserk Mode" he has no control whatsoever. He loses his mind and basically becomes a ferocious wild animal.
    
  • Random Transformation - He is not able to transform at will. He transforms when his anger has reached the tipping point or he's seriously injured, and thus he tries not to let either of those things happen.
    
  • Emotionally/Adrenaline Driven - He can only continue to be transformed so long as his emotional drive or adrenaline continues to pump in over drive. He could easily be stopped with sedative gases and by a telepathic empath.

[welian]

Placed my second character next to my first in anticipation of it being eventually accepted. I think it will make it easier for people to find both of my sheets if they are next to each other.

Except, that is against the rules, which is why I deleted both your profiles. Character sheets are not to be posted until they've been reviewed in the OOC and I have explicitly approved them. I have not yet approved either of your profiles and frankly, I'm not even going to consider Ayo's existence until the roleplay has even started.

Furthermore, you're not the gm, stop riding me, welian already told me this.

Sim may not be the GM, or a particularly nice person, but he is one of the many users who helped me pull this circus together, including Giyari, Dox, Meredith, Zahzi, and Grin. Furthermore, he did quote the rules that you seemed to have glossed over.

You need a third weakness.

@welian - is there anything I need to adjust in my character profile?

 

[TheDaftStudent]

oop i forgot. fixed.

 

[call me rae]

@TheDaftStudent did you post him previously? because he feels strongly familiar. or else i'm losing my mind. but yeah seems fine, i like the third weakness alot - the adrenaline one - because it makes the power seem very realistic.

Yes! I did. I hadn't figured out a third weakness at that point though.

Sorry for the slow response! I was answering a lot of questions in the RP's chat. Three points:

• The S.W.A.P. groups is fine, Aegis is not the only super-related organization in the country, it's just one of the larger ones.
  
• His running speed should be more greatly impacted. Running forty meters in 5.5 seconds is still a hell of an accomplishment, but I think if his skin turns into metal then it's entirely possible that he might not be able to run at all.
  
• Pictures are the least important part of the profile so I'm not gonna nag you too hard about this, but I'd prefer if you specifically avoided using photographs for faceclaims in this roleplay.

Thank you for the feedback. I can reduce the speed, but thinking of other "heavy" characters like colossus, the thing, and the hulk, they are all capable of running. I guess part of my thinking was that he is melee and if he's so slow then he's completely useless as he would never get to anyone.


As far as the pictures go, I can take them off, I just don't like using anime pics in a "real world" rp.


Any other thoughts, from anyone?

My 2 cents.


He could have slow acceleration, but high overall speed, like the Juggernaut from X-Men or a freight train. He's so heavy that his own momentum allows him to move quickly but only after a "speeding up" period where he is slowly accelerating.

I second Hunter's idea, that sounds like a less heavy down side, that would still have a noticeable impact!


Plus, his skin's hard enought hat he could afford to take a few hits while his speed builds up, it's just up to any attackers to really get the shots in before your character's able to retaliate

I had a thought - the character could become extremely slow when metallic and how he operates would be something to the effect of using his speed to get where he needs to go and then transforming at the last second to deal with the situation. It would mean he's more vulnerable to attacks while getting into position (weakness).


@readingraebow - thanks for the links, I'll see if there's something I like. (B')

I think they meant something more like this


[media]



[/media]
He's not super fast but he gains momentum cuz he's so heavy. And once he gets going he becomes essentially a bulldozer.


As you see he kind of starts out slow and clunky, you can tell he's not going to be a super agile character. But as he gain momentum he pretty much just plows through everyone like a bowling ball through pins.


So I think max speed doesn't have to be all that high. You got to remember he's heavy and metal - just the force of his weight is going to make him hit hard as heck.


I mean sure he probably get his ass handed too him by a speedster or if you had someone with great agility but that's the toss up you pay for being strong.

Heh, I think you missed my idea. I know who juggernaut is and how he works, I'm not a huge fan of that style. That why I'm thinking I'd he uses his "above average" speed while in human form and then transforming at the last possible moment it will create more of a wrecking ball effect. Also, I need to change his codename since he isn't made of vibranium anymore... I don't know, maybe I should scrap him and think of something else....

No that's fine I was just trying to illustrate the point Giyari was trying to make. Having him gain momentum in his unarmored form and just hit as his armored form works. I think they were just trying to help you come up with a weaknesses that still gave you the momentum you wished.

  Personality
  
  
  
  Self-Discipline
  Page Morgan is the type of person that displays great self control over herself and more importantly her emotions. While many have the luxury of sacrificing inhibitions or emotional restraint for the thrill and pleasure of a moment, Page does not. This is why she prefers sticking to her routines and set schedules. For when Page Morgan is pushed outside her comfort zone, it can have fiery consequences.
  
  
  
  Uptight
  Page is a little more tightly wound then most and lacks that ability to 'just chill'. Which is a term people often use with her when they feel she has her panties in a bunch. Due to her underlying fear of the unknown Page is best known for her stick in the mud ways and being the first to point out the harsh facts of a situation. This often leaves others feeling that she just lacks social skills.
  
  
  
  Dependable
  For better or worse, she is definitely reliable. If she gives her word she will do something, she will do whatever it takes to get it done. Fitting with her type A personality, she has a deep seeded need to follow through with tasks she is give.
  
  
  
  Emotionally Eruptive
  When Page has become emotionally entangled in a matter, she becomes very passionate, often time overly so. Being emotionally sensitive, Page can over react to a situation. This is why she works to keep such strict ridged control over her emotions almost trying to smother them entirely. Perhaps that is why when they tend to bubble to the surface, a trickle quickly turns into a volcano.
  
  
  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
  
  
  
  Empathic Fire Manipulation, 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
  
  
  
  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. Connecting with and meditating in nature assists her in centering herself and finding inner peace. 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.

No problem I've enjoyed reading everyone else's characters. They've all put a lot of work into them.


Speaking of work I am currently working on finding my pictures ( mostly because i like to do the most time consuming part of my profiles first and that's always the pictures )


Anyway I wondered - do they have like special uniforms or something they're supposed to wear or do they just wear whatever they want?
