[King Of Imagination]

No, your right, normally he would be D, but it's scaled up for circumstances that may or may not be revealed at a later date.

 

[King Of Imagination]

A large portion of his history and connections are hidden from all but the mods for a reason.

[King Of Imagination]

Precisely. He's the new service teacher... As his community service punishment.

 

[Gus]

Nice. I glanced at him before but got lost in the shuffle subsequently. I have a post to put up, but will see about feedback momentarily.

 

[King Of Imagination]

Ok, cool.

 

[simj26]

Then C it is.


I'm calling it now, it's got to do with X-rays and radiation.


Put your money here boys.

 

[King Of Imagination]

I can neither confirm or deny radiation poisoning caused by Quinten looking at someone.

  Notes
  
  He looks tall almost entirely due to the way he is built. He’s skinny, but underneath his clothing he is toned beyond belief. It is speculated that he may have been an ex-bodybuilder, some form of military spy, or just really, really athletic, though he neither confirms nor denies any of these.
  
  
• Personality Trait 1/4 (Positive)
  
  
  Friendly- Quinten is a great guy. He’s kind, he loves to hold conversations, he’s funny, and just overall a friendly person. He has no issue talking to people, and doesn’t discriminate no matter who you are. He sees the best in people, most of the time, and as such tries to make friends wherever he may go.
  
  
  Personality Trait 2/4 (Neutral)
  
  
  Disciplined- Quinten is remarkably disciplined despite his friendly and outgoing nature, and very careful about his own schedule. While this is good for making sure he stays in shape, gets places on time, stays healthy, and maintains his job, this also can get in the way of more deep social interaction, as well as causing him to be a bit of a creature of habit.
  
  
  Personality Trait 3/4 (Neutral)
  
  
  Secretive- While he is outgoing and loves to talk to people, Quinten rarely delves into his own personal life, and it becomes clear very quickly that it isn’t something he enjoys discussing. Whether for fear of people turning away from him, or some other, less obvious reason, Quinten refuses to talk about his past and personal life, however, this also makes him a very good person to come to with problems you don’t want others to know about.
  
  
  Personality Trait 4/4 (Negative)
  
  
  Reckless- While he is regularly very disciplined, he can’t help but throw himself into difficult challenges head first, without taking the time to consider the consequences, and whether the risk-reward is worth it. Despite this, he’s come out of most situations relatively unscathed so far, although his most recent stunt landed him doing community service as the new Community Service teacher at Facility 108.
  
  
  History
  
  
  Quinten was born and raised in America, a small town in the middle of nowhere in Nebraska, and had a relatively quiet life. Even when he discovered his power, it wasn’t something that was particularly obvious, so he had no trouble fitting. However, shortly after he got into high school, there was a mandatory test of all of the students, and he was discovered to have abilities. He was one of only a few members of this small town to have them, and he and his fellows were discriminated against and feared, no matter how many times it was explained to them that the children didn’t have particularly harmful abilities, and most were internally based, except for one boy, Allan, who could create small holes in space where he stored things. After graduating from high school, the four of them (Allan, Quinten, Elias, and Sarah), left the town in order to escape the discrimination.
  
  
  It was upon completion of his secondary test to determine the strength of his powers and recieve his limiter that he was approached by-

• REDACTED
  
  
  
• Main Power
  
  
  Enhanced Vision- Quinten’s power involves enhancing his vision in various forms. The various forms are as follows:
  
  
  Magnified Vision- Quinten can magnify his vision, similarly to a telescope or pair of binoculars. This magnification goes about as high as average binoculars, allowing him to magnify things up to 10x.
  
  
  Night Vision- As you can probably infer, night vision involves the ability to see in darkness, similarly to the way night vision goggles work. When using this, Quinten’s irises become a greenish-yellow, and his pupils change shape to a more slit-like configuration, similar to a cat.
  
  
  Infrared Vision- Quentin is able to detect the various heat signatures of the things he can see, determining their relative heat, and allowing him to essentially see through walls and other similar structures, but only allowing vision of the heat. His irises become a red color, similar to infrared.
  
  
  • Supporting Power A: Slightly Heightened Mental Processing- Quinten, due to the various different types of visual information he needs to be able to process, has developed mental processing that is mildly faster than that of the average person. This has been further worked on during REDACTED, and as such can process visual information at just under 1.5x the rate of the average human.
    
  • Supporting Power B: ---
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Weakness 1: Magnified Vision- Similarly to when one is using binoculars, the magnified vision gives Quinten tunnel vision, reducing his peripheral vision drastically the more he “zooms in” on something else.
    
  • Weakness 2: Night Vision- As with wearing night vision goggles, Quentin is particularly sensitive to light when in this state, and particularly bright light could temporarily blind him, as well as cause severe headaches.
    
  • Weakness 3: Infrared Vision- Anything that is meant to hide or dampen heat signatures will also impede Quinten’s ability to see things with this. Additionally, extremely hot objects give off very bright heat signatures, which would act similarly to bright light in night vision, potentially temporarily blinding him and causing major headaches.
    
  • Weakness 4: The different types of vision cannot be used in tandem with one another. They can only be used singularly, although they can be switched between relatively easily.
    
  • Weakness 5: Quinten, even in a normal state of seeing, has difficulty with light, and is rarely seen without sunglasses, even on cloudy days. The only time he is without his sunglasses is at night.

Looks good. Maybe add microscopic vision? Agility seems a little high and strength a little low, given the description revealed so far. Not going too far out on a limb to guess you might be going for a Hawkeye/Bullseye type of character though, and that would certainly need high agility, since you need to hit what you see and not just see it. Also helps for avoiding taking hits. X-ray vision is also a natural add, though clearly (heh) we aren't cleared to know about that. If you haven't already considered a 'find the chink in the armor and then hit it with an impossible shot' supporting power, I would definitely consider adding that, because of the cool factor. Microscopic vision could help with that also. Otherwise looks pretty solid to me.


One last thing, you note the red eyes for infra vision, and slitted pupils for night vision, but nothing about the telescoping part. Maybe eyes go all black or pupil widens and stretches back deeper into the skull with a slight bulging of the lens? Just for the sciency goodness and the symmetry of descriptions.

 

[King Of Imagination]

Thanks. I don't really need microscopic vision in this case. But you're on the right track in terms of basis.

 

[King Of Imagination]

Chink in the armor is also unneeded due to certain circumstances.

 

[Gus]

Cool. Look forward to meeting him.

 

[King Of Imagination]

Well, if the mods accept him.

Blargh, more character trash because I'm disgustingly indecisive.


Would need points for her, but I like the vision of an incredibly sassy, toxic Librarian existing within the School


People who fuck with her books, will know her wrath.

  Notes
  
  She's never seen without a book in hand and a million other books stuffed snugly into her shoulder strapped bag. Her horrendous eyesight requires use of glasses 24/7. Thanks to her wondrous genetics, she appears far younger than she truly is; On her first day of the job many of the faculty mistook her for a student and she was told off by one of the Teachers during their first encounter for seemingly skipping a class by being in the Library.
  
  
• Knowledgeable
  
  
  A solitary life and a house practically made of books quickly make her sharpen her wits as she read page after page and book after book. She likes to think of having brains over brawn, and she definitely has quite a lot of brains to challenge a large number of people. A quick wit and a self-imposed challenging education has made her turn out to make her one of the most intelligent people around. She's well-informed in all area's of expertise, ranging from the wondrous sciences to the tedious histories. If a book can't help you figure something out, she definitely can.
  
  
  Insightful
  
  
  To truly appreciate a good book, you have to actually understand the book. Through the years of honing her mind, she's come to be quite the perspective person and can read people just as well as any book on her shelf. People can be torn apart and have their entire histories read by her in a few seconds by her eyes; you'll rarely be able to hide much under her gaze.
  
  
  Inquisitive
  
  
  An endless shelve filled to the brim with books and a limited world with an equally endless amount of people have resulted in making her an incredibly nosy person. She desires to know just about everyone and everything, even if it is just to judge them or know just the slightest fraction about their lives, whether they want her to know or not.
  
  
  Scathing
  
  
  Be it the tone of her voice, the glare of her eyes or the way she can break someone's history and feelings down just so well, makes her a deadly adversary to fight verbally. She can quickly find out what pushes people's buttons with her words and her cruelty to those who spite her can become as endless as the amount of books she reads. Her tongue is made of poisoned thorns; a poison designed to make other's suffer excruciatingly. An endless stream of verbal ferocity complimented with that sweet nectar of sarcasm can make her as toxic as a Hemlock sip.

• Literary Manipulation
  
  
  Usagi is in possession of a diverse and versatile ability; Literary Manipulation. She can do a variety of things with such a power. Projecting words onto surfaces with a mere touch of her hand, Flinging books at you like an annoying telekinetic who's limited to moving around books, and manipulate the text within a book; allowing her to either modify or add to it. Reading without having eyes is neither a problem for her either, for simply sliding her hand over the text allows her to read it. A possible side effect of this ability is that she has the most beautiful writing any being can lay eyes upon.
  
  
  The main use of the ability, however, is both incredibly notable and dangerous. She may summon either an object, person or being into the real world by reading out the lines from the book; Much like a sorcerer reading the magic words to summon a creature. This can range from a great number of objects as long as they are written down. From a simple, useful bike to the grand eldritch horror known as Cthulhu that will promptly attempt to devour and destroy everything around it in a frenzy of godly wrath.
  
  
  • Narrative Eyes: She is officially classed in the Guinness world records as the fastest reader to ever live. Usagi read the entire, iconic Harry potter series in half an hour whilst taking in everything and remembering every word with not a single imperfection. Dictionaries can be read in a matter of minutes by her. This has also resulted in her having a great vocabulary range and an unmatched understanding of words, in both English and other languages.
    
  • No Word Unread: Usagi can read, speak and understand any language as long as she has heard it been spoken or read a book printed in said Language. Speaking about her in other languages behind her back will most definitely not help from hiding your feelings from her. However, this only extends to languages that can be written; Languages with no written form which are purely oral in nature can not be understood by her.
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Book Vandalism: The books she keeps are in impeccable condition for a reason; If a page is vandalised she can't do or pull anything out of the page. Likewise, If the entire book is ruined then It's as useful as a broken rope is for mountain climbing.
    
  • Fire: Not much to read if you set the thing you read from on fire.
    
  • Water: Have you ever tried to read a book after throwing a bucket of water over it?
    
  • Quality: A book about farming is most definitely useful in a combative situation.
    
  • Book Needed: One of the reasons she carries around a thousand books on her person at all times, but nearly all useful forms of her abilities are deemed null when she's deprived of a book.
    
  • Chanting: To summon something from the Literary world, she needs to read aloud the line or paragraph needed to do this. Not only does this immediately make her stand out, but if you slap some sellotape on her she can't do much.
    
  • Focus: Summoning and controlling are two different things. Whilst she can just summon anything at random and leave it to fuck around, that is most definitely not a preferred option. To control any living creature, she needs to focus on it.
    
  • REAL BOOKS: MOTHERFUCKER READ FROM A BOOK NOT A KINDLE YOU PIECE OF SHIT. No, but in all seriousness, her powers need a physical, real book or script of some kind. Not some peasantry, tryhard, electronic kindle or some shit.

I basically got a technically two-week holiday in two days. It's for work experience, but eeyy, no homework!


After that, get back to school for a week, then like a six week holiday or something!
