[yoikes]

I'm thinking of a 13 yo child genius working as the head of Aegis's R&D departement, who handle all the super suit and gadgets @welian is it okay?

 

[Teh Frixz]

13


Head of anything

 

[Lemon Boy]

Make It so the thirteen year old is fucking Chernov's kid or something.


Kid: "AND I PRESENT TO YOU, THE ULTIMATE DEATH BOT."


Chernov: "You are soooooo grounded."


Kid: "YOU CAN'T DO THAT, I'M THE HEAD OF THE R&D DEPARTMENT AND I CAN MAKE WHAT I WANT!"


Chernov: "And I'm your mother and I say, you're grounded. Room. Now"


Kid: "But Mooooooooommm"


Chernov: "NOOOOWWWW" *STARE OF DEATH*

 

[Teh Frixz]

Idk, r&d heads are management. They don't let the science doers run departments, they are managed by hr specialists. Best they'd do with a genius kid is toss him in a shed with parts and see what he does

Unless his genius also extends to logistics, personnel recruitment and retention and accountancy...

[Teh Frixz]

Doesn't equate to office politics and mandatory age requirements

 

[welian]

It's illegal to hold a job in the USA at 13, it violates child labor laws. You can begin working at 14 in a restricted variety of jobs so long as you have parental consent, and can apply freely to most jobs at age 16, but cannot work heavy machinery until 18.


Man, navigating child labor in a world with supers must be a hairy mess.

For what it's worth, she has a son. He has big eyebrows. For safety reasons, he uses his father's family name, Thompson.

Or, due to said child's propensity for creating killer robots and thus for the safety of humanity in general, AEGIS (and the Commonwealth) has shouldered the burden of providing said child with a secure, explosion-resistant location to act out their artistic/destructive tendencies.

[RemainingQuestions]

@welian, next week Thursday through Sunday I'm going to Castlefest so I won't be able to reply. I don't know how much internet I'll have, but all my posting would have to be done on mobile so, yeah. The timing with the end of the scenes is... less than stellar, but yeah, that's the way these things sometimes go.


I'll likely will be available to some degree via pms and in the ooc, if anyone needs my characters/input.


For anyone also going to Castlefest near/around castle Keukenhof, maybe we'll see each other! I may have been looking forward to this for about half a year, but omg, so much hype.

Love this idea. My suggestion would be to amp the too young to know what to do with her smarts to the nth degree: have her graduate college in four months at the age of five and come to AEGIS just before her sixth birthday. This opens up interesting familial dynamics when you consider what kind of parents would send a six year old half a world away to develop their potential. Also, in the real world there are 12 year olds who go to graduate school to please their parents. This is comic book super land. Amp it up.

 

[Gus]

So I'm considering this character, I'm not sure about it yet, but I would like some input/criticism from all of you. Especially on the codename.

  Notes
  
  ---
  
  
• Determined (Positive)
  
  
  Once she gets going, there is very little that can stop her. This sheer stubbornness can be found in any aspect of her life. It also doesn't take much for her to bite her teeth into something, as she's fairly easily motivated. She's been described as more stubborn than a goat and harder to stop than a semi-truck at full speed, but the all-nighters she sometimes pulls are for school about as often as they aren't.
  
  
  Competitive (Neutral)
  
  
  Any dare or challenge is one she'll take on, but as soon as the game is over, she'll extend her hand to the opposite side. She'll do anything to win, even play dirty. This makes her somewhat easy to play, but she doesn't carry grudges after the game or dare ends.
  
  
  Adventurous (Neutral)
  
  
  She's always looking for an adventure, or as the people around her say, a new way to bend the rules. She knows the rules well, and also knows exactly where they end, and toes the line between there quite often. She doesn't break the rules just to break them, and she tries to find ways around them or loopholes in them. She wants to see the whole world, and experience all kinds of things.
  
  
  Distrustful (Negative)
  
  
  She has had the rug pulled from beneath too often in her short life, and now she's always wondering just how honest and true people's intentions are. She doesn't form friendships quickly, and long after she has gained someone's trust she'll still doubt them. She questions authority, just as much as she questions her friends, and often louder than her friends too.
  
  
  History
  
  
  NAME and her parents don't look very similar, but that's not too uncommon. She never really questioned it, until high school and puberty hit, when her own body and her friends kept raising questions she couldn't dodge. After years of whining and poking, her parents told her she was adopted at thirteen, not the best age to drop such a bomb. Feeling disconnected from her parents and heritage, NAME tried to grow a group of friends strong enough to anchor her. However, no matter how hard she tried, they kept falling out, but it wasn't until several of her friends plotted against her that she turned away from them, hurt in a way that would never really heal. She turned back to her family with her tail between her legs, but now takes everything someone says and does with several grains of salt.
  
  
  When finally her situation was stable, and she had enough support around her to drag herself through high school, her powers showed. She went to get tested, got ranked B, and requested to attend the nearest AEGIS facility. Her parents, whom had never given up on her, also enrolled her in a strict martial arts course so she could use her powers to the fullest. She is determined to become a superhero, and often trains with her weapons before and after school on their large lawn.
  
  
  
• Mom and Dad
  
  
  Somewhat strained, but slowly healing.
• Main Power
  
  
  Mental constructs of (mostly medieval) weapons. She can create weapons both large and small. The weapons she summons look nearly identical to normal weapons, except that they have a certain shine to them that gives them a somewhat otherworldly look. This shine is only visible at short range.
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • The bigger the harder: The bigger a weapon is, the harder it is to summon and keep summoned.
    
  • Loss of contact: Skin to weapon contact is needed at all times, if it's lost for even a second the weapon is gone again.
    
  • Training required: Just because she can wield a weapon doesn't mean she knows how to use it, and no matter how they make it look in the movies, even medieval weapons are hard to get used to.
    
  • Not made of light: These weapons have the same weight as they would have had they been regularly created. A whopping great sword might look impressive, but that loses its shine when you can't lift it.
    
  • Hurts her too: The weapons she summons often have a sharp edge, and she isn't invulnerable to that. Fumbling with a weapon could give her more serious injuries than she could have given the enemy.

Like her!


Small thing: You forgot to replace NAME in bio with Cedar. (Which is a great name, and I like that her nickname is Aaron's codename.)


Onward to codenames:


My top four:


Crusader


En garde


Armory


Dojo


Different direction:


Akhara


(if you think medieval weapons are cool and interesting, check out some traditional Indian ones! Indian martial arts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )


Somewhat silly:


Inigo Montoya


Pommel


Hilt


Tang


Crossguard


Paladin


Knight Errant


Quest


RenFair (heh.)


Maybe add a secondary power that aids her in training? Like that she can duplicate moves easily, but needs to see them performed in person? Giving her reason to seek out fight masters across the country and across cultures?


Can she do ranged weapons? Longbow? Crossbow?


…oooh! Catapults and Ballista? Catapults would be a stretch, being large, but would add a nice flexibility for teamwork: you could load a tough character into it to create a surprise 'death from above' attack…


I like it. Make it happen.

6 yo is too young! xD


I'm thinking of somewhere between 10-12

[QUOTE="St Indigo]WOWIE.
Biography took waaayy longer to make than I thought and I may or may not have accidentally made him a secret badass.


Could probably write five books about his life and still not have detailed it all. Gives me room for a ton of character development and shizzle though.


Hoping on that extra point that Welian hinted on giving earlier so I can actually hand him in for reviewing by the time the character rosters open up!


Feel free to gush over potential majesticness and adorableness.


No doubt the coolest and cutest Teacher to ever lay paw upon the School grounds.

  Notes
  
  Urial's current form is that of a majestic, healthy golden retriever with the most luscious and fluffy fur any man could ever lay eyes on. He is rarely found without his K.A.P strapped to his back.
  
  
• Sanguine
  
  
  Urial is known for his outpouring of general positivity to everything around him which can quickly infect others. He is constantly in a state of cheerfulness and optimism; It's an impossible task to find him outside of any mood other than good. He'll always find the good of a situation or quickly allevate the spirits of others with his mere presence. That and being an adorable, majestic golden retriever certainly helps.
  
  
  Spirited
  
  
  With his tendency to quickly adopt traits of the animals he possesses, Urial is an absolute powerhouse of energy that never depletes. He's hyperactive no matter how tired he is, the situation or even if it's in the middle of the night; anytime you encounter him expect him to be a bundle of energy jumping and running about. This constant energy also adds an air of humour to him, which adds to his air of constant optimism.
  
  
  Insightful
  
  
  Despite always having such a bright demeanour and positive outlook on life, many people have a tendency to overlook that living such a long life is as much a gift as it is a curse. He's watched his family die around him, every friend he makes he does with the knowledge that he will most certainly outlive them and their entire family by wide margin. This has allowed him to understand many aspects of life and has allowed him to emphasise with others, especially in moments of sadness, with deft ease.
  
  
  Immature
  
  
  For someone who's possibly one of the oldest to be alive in human history, he's amazingly immature. A childish mindset and a view of life as a bit of a game has resulted in him not taking many situations that seriously and often acting like a seven-year-old who's had far too much sugar rather than a three-hundred-year-old guy. Course, this does have the benefit of him being far more approachable, relatable and fun to the lively children of AEGIS in comparison to many of the other teachers.
  
  
  He's clearly the coolest teacher around.
  
  
  History
  
  
  Urial Ursler was born in 1674 to an incredibly esteemed and rich family who were well known in their home of Amsterdam as a respectful bunch whom held very impressive titles and jobs. His mother was a notorious iron born Nurse who had practically treated everyone in the city at least once, whilst his father was a world traveling Merchant who made glorious riches across the sea's making exotic trades with the various Empires & Nations of the world. The boy never saw his father that much but his Mother was a constant in his life, a blessed constant. He absolutely adored her in body and soul, from the work she did to her fierce and stalwart personality. It was this blossoming admiration that led to him following a career in Medicine and the sciences.
  
  
  As he pursued his dream of becoming a Doctor, he quickly discovered that he wasn't exactly normal in two ways, though the main one was that he was one of those people who had..well, special abilities. He discovered it whilst studying in his room and asking his mother for some food whilst still upstairs. The sudden revelation of his powers was quite uncalled for and sudden, but he was lucky he was born in a place that was far more accepting than many other countries during those days. Course, this didn't mean he could just go around using his powers whenever he liked and the two of them agreed to keep it under wraps. So, life went on.
  
  
  He became a highly esteemed Doctor and Scientist, he even took on a secret lover whilst living out his days in Amsterdam. It was during his final days, upon his deathbed that Death seemed to miss the carriage to his house. Being incredibly fond of dogs and cats throughout much of his life, he owned quite a fair few that kept him company and as his final breath was ushered, it was quite suddenly consumed by his Cat. A highly unanticipated experience that left him in shock as he suddenly went from seeing the light to seeing his lifeless corpse laying on the bed. So there he was, going from human to cat, staring at his body, when he realised he was quite hungry and desired some fish; so he skipped off to the Fish market to steal something.
  
  
  Life went on like this for a long time, acting feral and being wild; somewhat abusing his ability and just frolicking around and doing whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. His tune changed considerably, however, as his kind began to gain more recognition throughout the World and be acknowledged and as far more than monsters; they were valued as people...but as weapons as well. Upon the advent of World War two, he fought alongside many of the forces against the Nazi regime and escaped the grasp of death each and every time it tried to take him. When that war ended, the Cold war soon began and It was there that he learned that his ability to take the bodies of animals and even insects was...well, highly desirable for espionage. He'd rather not divulge too much personal information during this time period, but what is known is that he partook in quite a few assignments.
  
  
  Course, life went on. He went through quite a few other turbulent moments in history, such as the Vietnamese and Afghanistan war but as the dawn of the modern millennium dawned; he desired a more...consistent and laid back life. So, as an official organisation was formed in the United states known as the Commonwealth was formed, he immediately joined it as both a dedicated Scientist and Doctor. He made quite a few considerable advances in Medicine and Technology as the various Intellectual and Technological supers began to increase, working alongside them to hopefully make a better world for everyone. Yet, his laid back and consistent life was tested when they began to dabble in things they...well shouldn't have. He resigned from the organisation when he found what they were doing eerily and scarily similar to what the Japanese and German's did back in World War 2 and most certainly stood against everything they were doing. So he stood on the sidelines and mainly only participated as a Medical volunteer when things between the Terrorist group and the Commonwealth got especially violent, indiscriminately aiding both medically.
  
  
  It ended of course given time, as all travesties he witnessed had done and would be personally remembered as simply another moment in Humanities history as a slightly darker time for the people. Now, however, he has once again yearned for that dream of living a more consistent and laid back life whilst also wishing to make a contribution to society. So, whilst not officially rejoining the Commonwealth, he decided to fill in the vacant position of First Aid instructor in the AEGIS facility located in Baltimore.

• Telepathy
  
  
  Urial is in possession of an overly simplistic form of telepathy. He may establish a "mental link" with a person / people which allows both him and the linked person to communicate mentally. Another useful application of this is that he may mentally project his thoughts around him as if speaking normal; an incredibly useful application of his ability given his current form as a dog.
  
  
  • Telepathic Transferal: The reason for Urial's extreme life-span is his ability to seemingly transfer his entire consciousness and all of its memories into another body; as long as it is not human.
    
  • Kinetic Arm Prosthesis: A Military grade piece of technology made by himself that has been made to seemingly adopt a more "Civilian" grade role. It takes the form of a backpack which contains within it eight golden cybernetic limbs which aid him in various tasks. They are incredibly durable and strong, capable of easily lifting a person and performing heavy duty work. It's true ability, however, is the capability to project golden forcefields around either himself or other people which may protect them from harm. It was originally made for both himself and other Medic's performing their duty in militarized zones so that they may treat the injured without having to risk being harmed. This function has also resulted in the arms storing various medical equipment inside the backpack and arms themselves that allows him to perform medical aid whilst inhabiting the body of a dog.
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Range: Urial is limited to a radius of one hundred and fifty metre's around himself before his telepathy is unusable.
    
  • Viable Subject: Urial is quite limited in his options of transferal. He may only inhabit sentient, biological beings that are not humans. Whilst trading his consciousness, the animal's consciousness is virtually snuffed out and the original body will experience total organ failure within seconds of him moving from another body.
    
  • Telepaths: Telepaths with more advanced capabilities compared to his own can quite easily access his mind and even manipulate it if they have the power to do so.
    
  • Adoption: Urial's ability to transfer his consciousness often results in him collecting traits of the being he possesses. As a dog, he is very easily excitable and can get a bit out of hand if you pet him too much. Dog treats and the like are also something along the lines of drugs for him.

Late to this party. Very clever, as well as (obviously) cute.


I would suggest as an additional weakness that the host animal's personality is NOT entirely snuffed out, forcing you to choose hosts more carefully. You would be dominant and in charge, but I think it would be great RP fun if the host animal had various influences on your personality. Like very strong urges to chase tennis balls, or aloofness as a cat. Maybe you spent a few decades as a bad tempered horse, and are reluctant to ever do horses again…


Opens up interesting possibilities. Maybe you also can only transfer at the moment of natural (or violent) death, and not as a simple act of will? This might make for 'beggars can't be choosers' scenarios where you have to spend a few years as a rat.


Would the size of the brain have an effect on your cognitive capacity perhaps?


I find this concept fascinating, because to me the best part of this kind of fiction is thinking about how one's outlook on life would be different if one were significantly removed from the sphere of normal humanity. How does it feel to be able to sense the motion of all the bodies of the solar system?


What does it look like joining the flow of electrons through a high tension wire? What does telepathy feel like? What does teleportation feel like? How does echolocation make the world look different?


And to return to relevance: what if you were hyper intelligent but had to make do with hard physiological limits of a non human brain?


I would say, rather than sweep that aspect under the rug, make it central to the character. Make it symbiotic.


Make him grieve for each host when it passes, like a cherished pet.


I love this character. So much room to explore!


EDITMG! OMG! BE A DOLPHIN NEXT!!!

Up to you, obviously. I like to take things to extremes and then push past them and see what happens.


As i mentioned thinking about roleplaying a the dog above, I think the interesting thing is in the radically different perspectives possible in this kind of fiction. Imagining how the world looks to the hyper intelligent mind is a fascinating (and difficult) exercise. Imagining how it looks at six is both more difficult, and yet more connected, because at least we have all been six before.


Anyway, just a thought.

Now you all know why the timeskip is scheduled for the 6th.

Like her!
Small thing: You forgot to replace NAME in bio with Cedar. (Which is a great name, and I like that her nickname is Aaron's codename.)


Onward to codenames:


My top four:


Crusader


En garde


Armory


Dojo


Different direction:


Akhara


(if you think medieval weapons are cool and interesting, check out some traditional Indian ones! Indian martial arts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )


Somewhat silly:


Inigo Montoya


Pommel


Hilt


Tang


Crossguard


Paladin


Knight Errant


Quest


RenFair (heh.)


Maybe add a secondary power that aids her in training? Like that she can duplicate moves easily, but needs to see them performed in person? Giving her reason to seek out fight masters across the country and across cultures?


Can she do ranged weapons? Longbow? Crossbow?


…oooh! Catapults and Ballista? Catapults would be a stretch, being large, but would add a nice flexibility for teamwork: you could load a tough character into it to create a surprise 'death from above' attack…


I like it. Make it happen.

The error in the bio is something I already noticed, and I think I've fixed it. Well. Now my secret is out, I do names last.


I like those codenames, especially RenFair. Might use one of those, Arsenal was kinda a last moment this is good enough codename.


That secondary power is amazing, and I definitely will add it. I can just envision it, traveling all across America and then realizing that those "masters" weren't nearly as good as others were, and having to go and visit all kinds of foreign places. Yes, love it!


Ranged weapons are iffy, because if she summons the ammo, it disappears as soon as she doesn't touch it anymore, so unless she has a quiver of arrows or bolts with her, a bow or crossbow would be a not-so-handy bludgeoning weapon. With great focus, I can see her making a catapult or ballista though, and since the ammo would be a teammate, that would also be possible. Would be severely impressive to the other side too.


Both of these comments just show me that I really need to research not-European Medieval weapons. Well, I did need something to do while the paint on my accessories for CastleFest dries.

  History
  
  
  Tomoko showed how smart she is when she was still in kindergarten. She is able to follow news and read the newspaper, understanding hard kanji and complex words that most people did not understand.
  
  
  She skipped elementary school and attended middle school at the mere age of 3, but then she proves yet again that she is too smart for it too. She graduated from high school at 4 and aced the entrance test for Tokyo University's School of Engineering and started attending college until she graduated summa cum laude at 6 years old. The Commonwealth, who has heard about her, tested her and it turns out that her intellect is superpowered. They invited her to Aegis, where she can 'explore her creativity in a safe environment' provided by Aegis to which she accepted.
  
  
  But behind all that attention and achievement, Tomoko is very lonely. She practically doesn't have a friend or someone to match with, and occasionally see herself as nothing more but a lab rat trapped in a glass box. Her parents are too proud of her, weighing her down with expectation and showering her with praises she doesn't need, her brother and sister glared at her with envy and hatred and talked to her like she is not even human. They only smiled at her once, which is the day she left home for Aegis.
  
  
  Tomoko accepted Aegis's invitation because she wanted to make them happy, but she wonders if she herself is happy with it? She cried herself to sleep the first day she arrived in Aegis and still do whenever she feeling down and missed home.

  1. Erika Hawk (26) / Rank E Commonwealth Staff - Her guardian (and bodyguard), as her parents stayed in Japan to take care of Tomoko's older brother and sister and it could be disastrous if Tomoko is kidnapped by a wrong group of people.
  
  
  2. Aegis Staff and Students: She sees them as her second family. Cool bro and sis who played with her and adults who care and teach her many things. She loved them so much that she gave them nicknames, either based on her favourite Disney movie or a certain trait of the character (Ex: Ward is Grumpy)
  
  
  
• Main Power
  
  
  Enhanced Intelligence
  
  
  Tomoko's is more than genius. She possessed exceptional intellectual ability and creativity, gifted with powerful memory and superior learning capacity.
  
  
  • Supporting Power A: Intuitive Aptitude: She is gifted with the ability to learn and understand something new almost spontaneously without the need of someone to guide and explain it to her.
    
  • Supporting Power B: Enhanced Inventing: She is able to create super gadgets and techs and developing a stronger limiter for powered people, almost flawlessly.
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Weakness 1: Still a child. Someone needs to guide her, teach her about what to do and what she should not do, what kind of machine she should built and what that she should not? Is her creation is dangerous of other people? Will it disturb the power balance between supers?
    
  • Weakness 2: As a child, she is weaker and more fragile. She easily gets hurt and sick, and cannot exactly fight the villain's the same way the other characters will do
    
  • Weakness 3: Despite her knowledge, she is still an immature 7 years old children who cry when teased or when scared or hurt and quickly believe when is told something by someone older than her. (Ex: "There is a monster hiding under your bed!", "If you lie, a big red dot will appear on your forehead!")

[Captain Hesperus]

@too much idea Another weakness might be due to her emotional immaturity. She appears to be quite naive about the world, so she could be easily lead astray or manipulated emotionally ("Make me a way of deactivating my limiter without the Commonwealth knowing or I'll tell everyone you still wet the bed at night!") by the wrong people.
